Proof Against a Racket.

AT a certain hotel that shall he nameess A
frightful row occurred in one of the rooms very
late at night. Three young men occupied il to-
gether, and got into dispute which resulted In
a free fight, in which boots water pit cheers
chairs, etc, were used. and half the furnishings
OF the room were smashed to atoms 4 porter
and TWO or three walters came up from below
and broke down the door. and all the people on
the hall in which the fracas took place came
out and swore loudly or screamed according to
the means of emotional expression accorded to
their respective sexes. Altogether "a noise was
made sufficient to make the dead turn over fit
dld not cause them to arise. After the hubbnb
subsidized it was noticed that the door of the
room next TO that in which the disturbance had
occurred remained locked, aud the sound of
peaceful snoring crept languidly out ofthe key
hole. Curiosity To know who the person was
who could sleep through such rumpus induced
the crowd 10 beat on the panels and call out,
and after the space of about ten minutes the
door opened and a mans head appeared
What's wanted?" inquired the head Nothing
particular said the hotel clerk, who had Just ap-
neared on the scene, "only we wanted Ia see
the man who caud sleep through row i'm
which three men had nearly killed each other"
Been row, hey!" said the head yawning: lit

the control of some twenty prima donnas. to he
affected by any ordinary ruction." and thus
speaking the head withdrew. and the door was
locked again.-BOSton Journal.

A correspondendent of the Esmeralda
Herald, writing from Sweetwater under
date of Dec. Z, says: Quite a number Of
the mines are running to their full capac-
ity, the Summers mine in particular,
which is taking out an enormous guam
tity Of fine ore. The pack train Of As
mules is making two trips per day, con-
sequently the ore pile at the mill has sc-
cumulsted ahead OF its working capacity.
AS further developments are being made
in the mine wonderful ore bodies are dis.
covered, which place this property in the
front rank Of the bullion producers Of the
country. A distinguished party OF ladies
and gentlemen paid the mine a visit last
Sunday, with Il view to examining its uu-
derground workings, which they did in a
scientific manner. Most OF the female ex-
perts hailed from the Comstook, and were
fully competent to pass Judgment on the
merits or dement's of the mius. They
pronounced it a bonanza of the first mag

A MILKY STORY.


Narrow Escape OF n LncteaI Vendor.
For some time past the residents of Mob
Hill have been troubled by milk thieves,
and the good people and their little heart
buds have been compelled to sip the matin
coffee as it came from the pot. Every
effort has been made to detect and arrest
the thieves without avail. Some residents
have even gone so far as to dose milk with
one thing and another in the hope of
bringing the scoundrels 10 a just realiZa-
tlon OF their crime. But so far the fellows
nave evaded the traps set for them and
continue their depredations. Yesterday
morning between 8 aud 4 O'Clock, the
usual hour for the milk vendors to make
their rounds, a lady living near Clark
street was disturbed from her slumbers by
a noise on the porch, where she was in the
habit of leaving her bucket to be filled by
the milkman. She poked her husband
In the ribs and attempted to arouse
him, but he was not disposed to get out
OF his comfortable quarters and catch the
pneumonia for a can of milk. With be-
coming gravity he told his energetic part
ner, "You get up, wife, and see who it is;
us a mighty mean man who will hurt a
woman" Like a good, loving wife she
bounced out of bed, and made for the
bureau, where there was a revolver. She
took the weapon with g nervous grasp,
and almost unconsciously proceeded to a
window that overlooks the porch. She
hesltated a moment as she saw the outline
of a large man just in the act OF deposit
ing a can with another in his hand. Her
first impulse was to shoot through the
wiudow and brighten the fellow, but re-
covering her composure after a mo-
ments hesitation, she determined to
raise the window hastily and fire.
Woman-like, however, she got a new
idea, and thought she would ask
the villain what he wanted to steal her
milk for before shooting him through the
heart. She jerked up the window aud
thrust out a large navy revolver and NUT
tered something the man did not under
stand. 1t being very dark, he did not no.
lice the pistol, but sang out: did you
say you wanted another quart of milk ?"
The words struck her like an electric
shock. They were the milkman's, who,
having left his wagon on the corner of
Clark and Monroe streets, was making the
rounds of his customers on the Hill on
foot. A few hasty words of explanation
followed, and, trembling from head to
foot, the lady closed the window, put away
the deadly weapon and returned to the
snug couch of her husband, who wanted to
know if she had annihilated the thief. 1t
took her some time to get over the effects
OF the excitement, and in relating the
to some lady friends yesterday
she still exhibited more or less nervous
ness. She has resolved to let her husband
handle the pistol in future, and wouldn't
get out of bed again if the supply of milk
was cut off for the balance of her life.

STATE EXPENDITURES.
Tho Salaries that the Incoming
OmcisIs VIII ORA ".

u Salaries that the Incoming
OnicisIs VIII Draw
The question of reducing the expenses
OF the State Government is receiving moro
or less attention from the papers at pres-
emit. The Legislature of 1881 reduced the
salaries of several Of the State officials and
their deputies. After the LIST of January
next the Governors salary will be SIS, 900
per annum "a reduction of 81 200 per
year; the salaries of the Supreme Judges
Will be $4,000 per annum for he newly
elected Judge-a reduction of 81 600,
while the hold-over justices, Hawley and
Belknap, will continue to draw the old
salary, $1,000 per annum, until the end of
their respective terms. The salary of the
Lieutenant Governor, which at present is
$500 per annum, will, after the LIST OF
January be $40 per day while the Legisla-
ture ia in session, and $l4 per day when
the Governor is absent from the State.
The Clerk of the Supreme Court, Secretary
of State, Controller of State, Treasurer,
Attorney General and Surveyor General
each receive SO, Soc per annum; but I'M
der the new law the Clerk of the Su-
preme Court will receive $4,000 per an
mum, while the others will receive $4,000
each; besides, with the exception OF
the Attorney General, each is al
lowed a deputy at $4,000 per annum.
The Superintendent of Public Instruction
will receive a salary of 81, 500 per year,
the same as at present; and the State
Printer will get a salary of $4,000 a year
a reduction of $500 from the present sal
airy; and the Governors Private Secretary,
who now receives SO, 900 per annum, will
get $1,000 per year. This aggregates over
$4,000 per annum, which is considered
too much for a State with less than 50, 900
inhabitants and about S25, 000, 900 in tax
able property. All the offices mentioned,
however, with the exception of State
Printer, are what are called constitutional
oftices-that is, they are provided for by
the Constitution, and cannot be abolished
by the Legislature, unless the Constitution
is amended. The deputies are officers
created by legislative enactment, and may
be abolished at the next session of the
Legislature. Doubtless some of them are
absolutely necessary, as for instance the
Controller and T~reasurer's offices, where
1t Is of the greatest importance to the
public that the books be kept correctly;
and as each Of these is supposed to be a
check on the other, it would not answer to
have one deputy for both offices, as sug-
gested by some of our exchanges.
