Boys on the streets at Night.

1t is an awful nice pastime for little
hoodlums to chunk Cinnamon at night,
when they should be comfortably abed,
with watermelon rinds and such other
and harder missiles as they hastily snatch
up in their enthusiasm; but if what came
under our observation last night means
anything, some mamma may soon be
mourning for her scallawag because he is
not. A much abused Chinaman, who had
stood about as much of this fun as he
could endure. made a dart after some MIN
BILE urchins with II knife in his hand. He
did not catch the runaways. but it was
not because he did not try; and if he had
been as quick as they he would certainly
have knitted one Of them. Boys allowed to
run the streets at night get a bad start,
and the sooner some careless parenta APP
preciate this fact the better it will DO all
around,

been in session the allotted time, and was
about to adjourn. Everybody had got his

CASSIDY.
A Republican .%JOurnal Reviews His
Congressional Career.

EesShpNhh SSfSShs
Sat Lake Tribune.
The Washington Post has an apprecia-
tive article on the Hon. Geo. W. Cas-
sidy, Neyada's Representative in Congress.
1t gives him high praise for his quick
ness, earnestness and ability, declaring
that he takes naturally to the business of
legislation, and afiirms that he is popular
and influential with the Departments and
with his fellow members. Much of this,
however, was to have been expected, as
the Post declares that journalists make
some Of the best law makers, and Mr..
Cassidy is a representative journalist as
well as a representative man. The Tri-
bune is glad to notice that Mr.. Cassidy
has made his mark so handsomely upon
Washington official life. 1t shows that
vigor and blood will tell. We nave had
occasion to remark before that he is one
of the few men who take pains to be
thoroughly informed upon a subject be-
fore trying to manage it. He has been a
good friend to Utah in this Congress. His
voice and vote have never failed us. His
speech on the iniquitous claim of Cannon
to a seat in the House was q blisterer. 1t
must have made even the hard cheek of
that broad-faced and lustful law-defier
burn. For the sake alone of what he has
done for Utah, We should take o top seat
in the Notification which would follow the
reelection of Mr.. Cassidy. But besides
that, he was a foremost champion of the
restriction of Chinese immigration and
the author of a bill to recover to the pub
lie domain the undesignated and unearned
railroad lands. In all this Mr.. Cassidy's
interest for the people has been diligent
and unceasing. Nevada would lose prestige
if it should fail to return him to his seat
in the House.

CARSON Cry, ,July 40. 1882,

CARSON CITY, July 40, 1881.
D. r. SESSIONS, CURATOR, STATE MU-
sEUM-DEAR SIR: Your telegram received
last night. Will answer it this afternoon,
or as soon as I can get the operator. I
went yesterday to Virginia City with
E. T. George, and will get from them, I
think, a very good exhibit, though small.
At last a general interest seems to be
stirred up and I IN greatly in hopes that
our State will be fairly represented. ! I'M
sure Eureka will respond with a good
shipment Of specimens. Mr.. George will
leave tomorrow afternoon and go directly
to Denver. We will take such representa-
tive ores from the State cabinet as will
not be endangered in transportation.
Anything that may be sent from Eureka
will be carefully returned if desired.
Messrs. Curtis, Blossom and Dunn of
Lander County will pay all necessary ex-
penses for freight, packing, ETC., and be
responsible for the safe return of anything
sent. All you will have to do will be to
ship to L. T. George, Denver, Colorado
Nevada State Commissioner. These
Lander gentlemen are worthy of all credit
for their public spirit. Without their aid
the State would not have been represented.
Yours, j. H. KINKEAD.

COINS.
A United States Judge Decides that
they are Legal Money.

Judge Lowell of the United States Cir
cult Court at Boston has decided that the
punched coin is lawful money. Judge
Lowell is a jurist of high legal attainments
and considerable experience at practice,
who has reached an elevated judicial sta
ton. He has jast decided 4 case of con-
siderable importance that was brought
before him on appeal from n lower Court
and one that is likely to attract attention
in both professional and lay quarters. The
case was that Of q man convicted in the
inferior tribunal Of uttering counterfeit
COINS, in that he mutilated quarter and
half dollars by boring holes in them,
although he did not remoye the displaced
silver. In fact, he added somewhat to the
intrinsic value of the disturbed coin by
filling the cavity made with base metal.
All the silver remained, with something
thereto inserted to give additional weight,
to say nothing of value. The act OF thus
mutilating was clearly one OF sheer ma
liciousness, with no touch Of the slightest
profit in it. 1t was like the slashine and
marking of a coin with a sharp instrument
for the mere vicious purpose of deprecia-
ting its worth in the market, and Judge
Lowell has decided that such an act is not
criminal by virtue of any statute. He holds
that whatever the intent may have been
to add base metal to gold coin, the mere
fact of punching a hole through a coin by
which the silver may be crowded into a
slightly different shape is not a punishable
offense. All the requisite silver is left in
the coin, and the original weight of it is
not diminished, while its %tineness re-
mains. 1t is therefore no less a legal
tender than it was before being tempered
with, although it may be over, instead OF
under weight, by reason of the base
addition. The statutes. the Judge says,
are silent upon this exact question, but
he thinks it clear that silver coin, duly
issued from the Mint, retains its full
value as long as it retains all the APP
pearance of coin, and does besides con-
tain all its original weight and fineness.

That things are not always what they

in-law are not as hard to take as the public
are led to believe by the clowns jokes and

the following in refutation of the popular
scandal: A man in England has eloped
with his mother-in-law. His wife says
that they had been very happy until her
mother, who was a widow, came to live
with her. Her husbands manner then
changed; he became cool and offhand with
her, while his manner to her mother be-
came very affectionate. She at last made
up her mind that she would speak to her
mother upon the subject, but before she
could find an opportunity her husband
and hsr mother eloped together. Her
mother had money, while she had nome
and she believed that was the bait which
had allured her husband. When advised
by the magistrate to apply to the parish
authorities TO make her husband support
her she said she would rather starve than
do that,
