MosBY AND MAHoSE.--People are talk
ing a good deal about the fight between
Senator Malone and Colonel Mosby when
the latter gets back from China. 1t will
be what Horace Greedy called mighty in
teresting reading, whenever it does come
off. To one who knows the two men
there could not possibly be two antago-
nists better qualified to cope with each
other. Malone is man OF more brains
than Mosby. but Mosby has enough to
make him dangerous, and he has besides
a logged and ferocious vindictiveness, 50
that Mr.. Malone had better be on tire
look out. for some letters have been re-
ceived here from Mosby, promising a
circus when he gets back. The two men
are alike in great many particulars.
Both of them prefer using their knives
to their forks at dinner. Colonel Mosby
says little, but what he says is short,
plain and to the point He has the
whole history of Mahone's railroad trans
actions at his fingers ends and knows q
good many other things which Senator
Malone would prefer to rest in forget
fulness. Mosby's hard, fierce, deter
mined face is enough to make most peo-
pie fear and dislike him. Ii there is an
extra session OF the Senate, therefore,
Senator-elect Riddleberger may expect,
along with his friend Malone, to catch
it if Colonel Mosby gets home in time.

Congressman Robinson, OF New York,
has new idea. He introduced bill
in Congress to annex ireland to the
United States, and has still another
scheme. He thus describes it in an in
terview. MY bill to annex Ireland to
the United States will make the British
howl But don't care for them have
yet another bill to introduce. 1t makes
st. Patrick's day a national holiday--not
because it is st. Patrick's day, but be-
cause it was on the seventeenth day Of
March that the British were forced to
evacuate Boston. l propose to make the
anniversary of the day national holiday
and, of course, st. Patrick will get the
benefit OF it,

The Reno Journal says Senator Will
liams' memorial to Congress instructing
our Senators and requesting our Repre-
sentatives to urge the passage of the
Reagan bill was defeated in the Assem-
bly,. Honors are easy between the two
Houses Of the Nevada Legislature on all
matters relating to railroads. The pro-
gramme seems to have been that all bills
affecting railroads which originated in
the Senate and passed that body were to
be defeated in the Assembly, while all
bills of similar import passing the As
sembly were to be defeated in the Sem
ate. By this amicable arrangement,
although the majority in one House was
Democratic and Republican in the other,
neither party could gain any political
advantage on the railroad question.

Colonel Dexter A. Hawkins, Of New
York has devoted some time to the study
Of the subject OF compulsory education,
finds hy statistics that in every country
where it is practiced Juvenile crime is at
minimum. The training of child
from eight to fourteen years generally
determines his course in life. The Grand
Duchy Of Baden, by a rigorous enforce
ment Of compulsory law for seven years
reduced crime fifty-one per cent. and
pauperism twenty-five per cent New
York has such law, and though it is
only imperfectly enforced, it is shown
that for five years previous to its enact
ment the arrest Of juvenile delinquents
was l,2al per year; for the subsequent
five years, SOS per year, and for the last
year only III. An agent placed |, 100
italian truants in school, and the decrease
of crime among them was thirty six per
cent. Colonel Hawkins is of the opinion
that with given facilities for thoroughly
enforcing the Law, decrease of ninety
per cent. can be made in youthful crime.
There are instances in which the law
works hardship-when the labor Of
children is depended upon to provide for
destitute families. Such cases are not
numerous, however, and when they are
discovered, such arrangements are gen.
orally made as to afford satisfaction.
The idea Of compulsory education is
rapidly growing in favor among ali en-.
lightened nations

TgE DISCOVERY OF THE
aIAhIMOTH.

The banks Of that great Northern ST.
berian river the Lena, are quite pecu-
liar. Those on the western side are gen.
orally low and marshy, while those on
the eastern are often from sixty TO one
hundred feet in height. In the extreme
north, this high elevation is cut into
numerous pyramidal,shaped mounds,
which are formed of layers of earth and
ice--sometimes clear stratum of the
latter many feet in thickness.
1t was before such a mound that q
fisherman stopped, dumb with astonish.
ment, one spring morning. many years
ago. About thirty feet above him, hale
way up the face of the mound, appeared
the section Of great ice layer, from
which the water was flowing in number
less streams; while protruding from it,
and partly hanging over, was an animal
of such huge proportions that the simple
fisherman could hardly believe his eyes.
Two gigantic horns or tusks were visible,
and great woody body was family out
lined in the blue icy mass. In the fall,
he related the story to his comrades up
the river, and in the ensuing spring,
with a party OF his fellow fisherman, he
again visited the spot. A year had
worked wonders. The great mass had
thawed out sufficiently to show its
nature, and on closer inspection proved
to be a well, preserved specimen of one of
those gigantic extinct hairy elephants
that roamed over the northern parts of
Europe and America in the earlier ages
OF the world. The body was still too
firmly attached and frozen to permit of
removal. For four successive years the
fishermen visited it, until finally, in
March, 1904, five years after its original
discovery, it broke away from its icy bed
and came laundering down upon the
sands below. The discoveries first de-
tached the tusks, that were nine feet six
inches in length, and together weighed
three hundred and sixty pounds. The
hide, covered with wool and hair, was
more than twenty men could lift. Part
OF this, with the tusks, were taken to
Jakutsk and sold for fifty roubles, while
the rest of the animal was left where it
fell, and cut up at various times by the
Jakoutes, who fed their dogs with its
flesh. A strange feast this, truly-meat
that had been frozen solid in the ice
house Of Nature perhaps fifty thousand
years, more or less; but so well was it
preserved that, when the brain was after
ward compared with that Of recently
killed animal, no difference in the tissues
could be detected.
Two years after the animal had fallen
from the cliff, the news reached st.
Petersburg, and the Museum of Natural
History sent a scientist to secure a speci.
men and purchase it for the Emperor.
He found the massive skeleton entire,
with the exception OF one fore leg. The
tusks were repurchased in Jakutsk, anG
the great frame was taken to st. Peters
burg and there mounted.-(C. F. Holder

TIRE LITE LE6TsLATUaE.

The Austin Reyeille published the fol-
lowing rather severe aaticle On the Ne
vada Legislature: ''As the Eleventh
Session OF the Nevada Legislature has
but few more gapes of life left m its
decayed carcas, it is fitting that brief
summary of its work be made, and we
ask all candid people il this picture is
not a Just one. 1t has done nothing to
relieve the people of any burdens. 1t
has refused to pass any economical
measures. 1t has frittered away its
time. 1t has spent thousands Of dollars,
which might have been saved, if it really
wanted to do as it agreed to in the plat
form upon which its members were elect
ed 1t has been ever ready to open the
ear and hand to the lobby, which has
been there in unusual strength. 1t has
refused to reduce the Legislature to half
its present size for fear some of them
would be debarred from return to a
sixty days bum at S. day and per-
quisites 1t has refused to reduce the
mileage from the unreasonably high rate
of rs cents per mile. 1t clings to sta
tionary allowance of $50 per member,
when $40 would be ample. II has not
consolidated an Office nor saved the peo-

it made. 1t has made large number OF
its members obnoxious. 1t has had
more nefarious schemes introduced, and

answer for, and very few good quail

who is the niece OF Col. Henry, Major
Ninth Cavalry, is to be married soon to
Lieutenant Phillip P. Powell, Ninth Cav
airy. Lieutenant Powell is probably the
only ex-Confederate soldier now holding
a commission in the United States Army
He was born in Virginia, and when quite
young entered the Confederate service,
and served to the end of the war. He
afterward was admitted to the bar, but,
having acquired taste for military SER
vice, he enlisted as private soldier in
the United States Army His political
disabilities having been removed, he
passed creditable examination, and re-
ceived his commission as second lien
