a Promising Han.

Lieutenant Governor Laugh
ton may tie called a promising
man. When making a fight for
the Wardenship of the Peniten-
tiary he began to concentrate
the elements by promising this
man and that man lucrative
position under his management.
He swept everything before him
and it seemed as if he had al
most won his fight, when the
various officers began to COM
pare votes. They found that he
had pledged himself by the
great horned moon to appoint at
least fifty Commissaries, about
one hundred guardsmen and
seventy FIVE book keepers. The
cOnubiatOrs at once fell apart,
and with a quality Of gall wor-
thy of better course he at once
tackled the Library proposition.

The Governors Dileu, ms.
Under the new law the &c

Under the new law the Gov
ernOr is communicating of
the combined army and navy OF
the State, including marines,
foot soldiers, cavalry and raw
recruits. Under the new law,
also, Storey county can have but
two companies of infantry, and
the Governor must disband three
companies. Two are willing to
disband at any time, but there
are three remaining and all want
to stay. One is Irish, one is
Cornish and one American.
Somebody must be sighted, and
the Governor, who has culture
political aspirations" has been
studying the. matter over and
laying awake nights trying to
solve the problem Of disbanding
a company and not losing any
votes. He has talked with his
preceptor, Garrard, and ccm-
muned with Counsellor Healy

he hit upon smooth and easy
way of throwing the RESPONSE

grafton that rolled in upon it a
year Or two ago. 1t is said that
at least SO, 600 persons will come
to this coast during the ensuing
season to look for homes in CAL

More of Markers Bull

Some weeks ago the APPEAL
published IN account the day
after it occurred Of the killing
of a Chinanan on Senator
Markers ranch by the goring Of
of bull. Other papers which
were not enterprisiug enough to
get the news in their own coun-
ty, to say nothing of an adjoin
ing one, limited that the story
was a roorback. Yesterdays
Reno Journal tells us more about
the doings Of the same bull. /.
says:
Senator Marker had a narrow
escape from death yesterday
afternoon at his home in Washoe
City. Our readers will remem-
berr that only a short time ago
Markers bull gered Chinanan
to death. Yesterday the Sena-
tor let the bull loose in the cor
raj and the vicious animal at
tackled him, Pete defending
himself with pitchfork, which
ne stuck into its nose. The en-
ragged brute threw Pete into the
air and broke his right arm.
The Senator also received in
ternal injuries, but how severe
is not known. Dr. Bergman, of
Reno, and Dr.. Bronson, Of Nlr-
ginia, were telegraphed for, and
FASTENED to Washoe last night.
The Journal sincerely hopes that
the Senator'S injuries will not
prove fatal.

4 surcpSsion OF Misfortuness

There is something peculiar
| about the SUGGESTIONS of misfOr-
| tunes which during the the past
few months have followed H.
T. Tucker, whose wife WAS bur
led last Sunday. Some months
ago he was ready to be married
and on the day before the cere-
mony was to have been per-
formed the house Of his pros
pective father-in-law burned to
the ground. Mr.. Tucker was
stopping at the house at the
time, and beside losing his ward
robe, $1,000 in gree nbacks be-
longing to him was also burned.
The bride lost all her jewelry
and an expensive bridal outfit.
Tucker took his losses philosophy
icaliy and SO did his intended.
She being still left to HIM he
pushed out into the world again,
secured Il position in the Leg
islature, and after the adjourn
nent a position under Warden
Bell at the State Prison. He
then got married and brought
his wife to Carson, Inside OF u
week she was taken sick with
scarlet fever and he nursed her
all day and was at his post at
night at the prison. His loss
of sleep, however, WAS tnore
than he could bear, having been
up nearly fifty hours. He was
found asleep at his post and
there WAS nothing left to do un-
der the rules but discharge him.
He went home that morning
and in a few hours more his
bride of two weeks was dead.

Plant Freaks.

Nature seems to have completely outdone
herself in providing freaks in plant life.
There is a plant in Sumatra which pro-
duces the giant among flowers, more than a
yard in diameter. 1t is a parasite, has
neither stem nor leaves but has exactly the
smell of very much decayed meat. The
petals are flesh colored, about foot long
and the whole evil flower is constantly in
tested with swarms of insects such as feed
upon carrion. Another curiosity is the plant
called manlisia. Its stem exactly resembles
the insect called the praying mantis, though
in countries where the mantis is not known
another resemblance has been suggested,
and the plant is known as the dane
ing girl" The man orchis is curious
counterfeit of the figure of man, while the
orchis muscifera so strongly resembles fly
that some naturalists believe the flies them
selves are deceived by it. The giant among
water plants is the South American water
lily, whose leaves have often been found IL
feet in diameter, and of such buoyancy as to
be able to bear up 10y ar-old boy, provi-
ded board were placed so that the leaf
would not be torn by his feet. But of all
plant freaks none are more curious than
the FERNS whose seeds grow on the back of
the leaf, or than the Butchers Broom, whose
flowers grow from the middle OF the leaf.

LOVE LETTERS BY PROXY.
Women Who Ruv Their

Chicago Herald1
Il am, believe, the only person engaged
In the business in Chicago" said the hand
some and bright lady whose business card
bore the words: Letter writer" II have
written letters for ladies who, from their
wealth and surroundings you would suppose
could 90 their own corresponding. l have,
however, found many such who could
neither spell nor write plainly, nor express
their ideas. | have written a good many
letters for persons who make no pretense OF
their inability to do so themselves. But the
bulk OF my patrons come to me, not because
they are unable to write, but because they
cannot command expressions for their
thoughts"
What are the letters about, generally?'
well, that would be telling. But if you
won't say | told you, they are mostly letters
of sentiment. The greater part are love
letters. You think that persons would pre-
fer to write such letters themselves. So
they do when the sentiment they breathe is
real But the letters | write are those of
occasion. Each party desires to impress the
other with epistolatory beauties, and not
having any themselves-well, | furnish the
sentiment for them. It's very easy she
added, with flavor of cynicism. There's
regular stock of sentiments for all occa-
sions. that pleases all people alikes If some
gentlemen Who are the proud 4possessors of
glowing letters from ladies knew that some
of their friends had others from other ladies',
but nearly all alike except in words, and all
coming from the same source, they wouldn't
be so proud. Ladies write much alike, and
so, for that matter do gentlemen, l notice
one thing about the latter. however, that is
peculiar Young gentlemen up to the age of
twenty-three ortwenty-four are very effusive
and gushing in their protestations. FROM
that age on to forty they grow more guarded
and cold They are afraid of ridicule or
something. Perhaps they are suspicious and
distrustful. But after gentlemen reach
middle age they return to youthful ardor
in their letters of sentiment Queer, isn't

THE GARFIELD HOME.
Pen Picture OF the Famous Home at
Mentor During Summer.
cleveland Herald.

/ A reporter of the Herald drove past the
! M entOr home of the Garfield family on Sat
urday evening, and had afforded him a
glimpse of the summer life of those who
were nearest to the President during his
lifetime. The large, airy house is in splen-
did condition, and the entire place is kept up
as well as any suburban home on the West
ern Reserve. The spacious lawns in front
and at the sides of the house are velvety
green, and are kept close cropped. The drives
and walks are beautifully gravelled, and not
a spear of grass dares lift it's head between
the pebbles. Beds CT geranums and hot
house plants in full bloom dot the lawns
The trees are symmetrically trimmed. The
barns are clean and in thorough repair. i.
A pleasant picture of the daily life of the
now famous family was presented to the eye
of the reporter. On the front piazza in an
easy rocking chair sat the aged mother,
little grayer, perhaps, for the experience of
the past two years, but looking very cool and
comfortable in the twilight A little to the
east on the broad piazza sat the children,
whiting, Irwin and Abram and the two
little Rudolph boys Around the corner to
the east was Miss Mollie, sitting on the win
dow-sill and toying with the blind. In the
rear on the west side of the house stood the
family horses and carriage. as if in readiness
to take some members of the family for a
moonlight drive. v,aa7a. .,...ftn ii II hnL
