arms occurred between them regarding
the merits OF the bill. His Honor Judge
Harmon retired during this personal con-
troversy. and when it was over he came in
and rendered his decision. II the county
Is going to get the worst OF it in such
cases. as has already happened in the two
cases referred to the Court (Schwamb's
and Sadler's), and have to pay heavy
costs besides, it looks as though it would
DO well to compromise on disputed bills
and avoid litigation.

Electrical surveys.

In his report on the geology Of the
Comstock, Prof. Becker says:
Electrical surveys were made both on
the Comstock and at Eureka. At Vir.
ginia only negative results were obtained.
At Eureka a distinct though small differ
ence Of potential occurs near ore bodies,
and with sufficiently delicate apparatus the
method might there be used for prospect
ing. 1t Is believed that sulphuret ores
would have given results Of a more con-
venient magnitude than the carbonate
ores OF Eureka.

A Paris letter writer says: Mrs.
Mackay, whose pretty, winning face is
said to resemble Adelina PATHS, is most
distinguished but simple in her manner Of
dress. She was seen q few days ago in one
Of the American salons attending . con-
versazione-which is now the rage in
Paris-the 5 o'clock teas. Her calling
dress, for good taste, elegance and nov
city, is certainly worthy OF description.
The foundation Of the costume was q fine
cashmere cafe au lait, heavily covered
with chenille acorns, in the still fashiona-
BILE and elegantly worn color-loutre
(sealskin). The skirt was made plain, of
heavy appliques of loutre chenille at
the bottom Of it; waist, short basque,
with only n side Of it in front bloused,
as is now the style; but the other
side was as fully covered with pendant de-
signs of loutre chenille; a garment with
long panels down the front evase, SO as to
show the ornamentation of the waist; not
very wide sleeves, close fitting in the shout
ders and short in the back, resting in the
shape OF a puff on the tournure. This dis
tingue garment was made entirely Of open
worked loutre chenille in repousses de-
signs of exquisite workmanship. Small
capote to match, crown cafe au lsit uncut
velvet and brown chenille transparent
front, tuft Of cafe su lait feathers, with
brown aigrette studded with gold; brown
strings lined in cafe au lait; brown NOUS
quetaire gloves. Not q jewel on her whole
person was to be seen.

A Cow BOY Orders R~attlesnake ON
Toast and fs Served.
A typical COW boy, fresh from his herd,
went into q Denver chop house the other
night. The tables were all well filed. with
the exception Of one, says the Tribune, at
which the terror Of the plains seated him.
SELF. As he pulled off his hat and united
the red bandana handkerchief from around
his throat, he looked disdainfully around.
The nimble waiter brushed an imagi-
nary bread crumb from the cloth, whisked
. bill Of fare from o castor, and placed 1t
before the festive but untamed youth.
"Take it away" he snarled. 81 can't
eat that. want rattlesuake on toastt"
"Rattlesnake on toast !" yelled the
waiter.
"Rattlesnake on toast r. responded the
cook.
There was q slight fiutter among the
guests at the strange order, and the COW
boy was scanned by many curious eyes.
He looked q little disconnected at hav-
ing his order so promptly taken, and
glanced furtively towards the front Of the
house. He saw the cooks and walters en-
gagged in filling orders, and looking as
solemn as graveyards after midnight.
He assumed q n~onchalant air, and picked
his teeth with q fork.
A cook deity removed the skin from .
pickerel, and, cutting a strip the proper
shape, placed it in a spider.
The waiter who had taken the order,

The lariat wrestler began to grow nerv-
Gus. The devll-may-care expression had

Tom Fitch At His Old Tricks.


The Arizona Citizen of December IA
says: Tom Fitch met his match yesterday
afternoon in Judge Sheldon, while arguing
the Meyer case. His Honor ruled agree
ably to an objection of the prosecution
that the argentiferous articulator should
not read any law to the jury, this right
being reserved for the Court. Mr.. Fitch
seemingly acquiesced to the decision, and
picking up a sheet Of legal cap which was
infinitely written fully on both sides, he
proceeded to read as if making his speech.
Suddenly, Judge Sheldon began to look
over the legal instructions before him
given by the defense, and interrupting the
speaker, asked If he we're not reading the
law. ~ I'm not, your Honor; this is all
the ~origination Of my own mentality"
His Honor could not detect the difference
and sat down on Thomas.

Stumbling Horses.

The Pittsburg ,StOckmam, in recent issue
says: Some good horses are addicted to
stumbling while walking or moving in n
slow trot. A well versed veterinarian states
that there are two causes that would tend to
produce this faulty action; one, II general
weakness in the muscular system, such as
would be noticed in tired horse the other
weakness of the eXteriormuscles Of the leg,
brought about by carrying too much weight
on the toe. To effect Il cure, he adds, tighten
the weight of each front shoe about four
ounces; have the toe of the shoe made of
steel instead of iron, it will wear longer;
have it rounded off about the same as it
would be when one.third worn out, in order
to prevent tripping; allow one weeks rest;
have the legs showered for few minutes at
time with cold water through hose, in
order to create spray then rub dry, briskly,
from the chest down to the foot. Give
walking exercise daily during this week for
abont nm hour twice a day. When you COM
mence driving again omit the slow jog either
walk or send him along at Il sharp trot for
mile or two then walk away but do not
speed for al least several weeks BY this
means the habit of stumbling from either OF
the above causes will be pretty well over
come.
