A Meteor in GilJts,

One night last week S. A. Knapp
and John Forbes, while driving neal
Luning, saw large meteor fall ON the
ellis mountain range. 1t appeared
about as large as the moon and glowed
with a beautiful green light. After
striking the mountain it bounded into
the air again for a short distance, and
when it finally rested could be seen
shining for some time. BY this time ii
has probably cooled off and may be a
valuable find for some prospector, or
may be the canse of many hopeless
search for the parent ledge if it should
be taken for piece of float.

the commencement TO the completion
of the same, there was disposition
shown to favoritism and an utter dis
regard of the welfare of the county
and of the interest of the taxpayers
of said county. We find the building
is, in no way, completed as per con-
tract aud specifications [see report of
committee on public buildings], and
also, that it was accepted and paid for
before the completion of the same;
and, from all Of the evidence before
us, we are compelled, TO say that,
instead of the Supervising Architect
supervising the erection of the build
inc, the contractor, with one mem,
Der of The Board, were the ostensible
supervising architects; that they made
great many changes in said building,
which, with but one exception, were
to the advantageo of the contractor, and
in no way advantageous to the
county; and that ia letting the origi-
nal contract, as shown from the
admission of one Of the Board, that
they advertised one set of speciica.
lions for the guidance of competing
bidders and awarded the contract to
the successful bidder upon set differ
ent from those advertised, thereby not
giving competing bidders fair and
equal show. We do also find that in
all extra work on the said building
where the sums exceeded $500, they
were let, without first advertising as
the Iawrequired, and the amount so or.
dered was then cut up into small bills OF
less amount than $500 and allowed and
paid for the purpose of deceiving and
misleading the public and TO The
advantage Of the said contractor, and,
furthermore, from the testimony OF
the Supervising Architect himself,
that he was simply a figure head, and
did not aud could not, under the cir.
cumstances, have any voice IN arprov,
ing or rejecting any of the material
used or work done on said building,
We are, therefore, compelled, in view
of all the above facts, to report that,
in our Judgment, great wrong has
been done TO the citizens OF this
county, and it is very evident to our
minds that The Board of County Com
missioners, or some member thereof,
was in collision with the said con.
tractor 10 the detriment of 'Esmeralda
County.
We would Recommend that the

For the Household

One way to prepare onion havorinp
for vegetable soup is to take large
onion, remove the outer skin, then stick
cloves into the onion, and bake it until
it is nicely Drowned. The peculiar fla.
vor thus gained is relished by the cpl.
cure.
A FAvoRITE dish in one of the Middle
States Is made by slicing raw potatoes
and cooking them in milk and water:
when nearly done, drop dumplings made
like biscuit in and serve together, with
roast beef. Season the gravy with but
ter, pepper and salt and thicken it with
little flour.
IT is thought by some cooks to be an
improvement upon the ordinary Brown
Betty pudding if crust be put over
the top. 1t serves to keep all the mois.
ture within. If pie crust is objected to
by any member of the family it can be
removed from their portion of the pud.
ding without difficulty.
DRY LIMA beans, which are now SC
common an article of food, do not re-
quire mere than three hours soaking
If you let them lie in the water longer
than that, they seem to lose their flavor
and are too mealv. They should cook
slowly, and if they should simmer for
an hour and half it would not be toe
long. No vegetable is more improved
by careful cooking.

Francs and Lire.
From the Pail Mall Gazette
>1,o 800 rornaI that hon,

from the PaU Mai taZtttJ
Travellers are warned that henceforth
francs will not circulate in Italy and that
lire will be refused in France. The coins
are identical in weight and in value, but
the monetary convention between the
countries ended with the old year, and a
rule which seemed fer mutual advantage
no longer has force. In Italy the mint
has been very busy throughout the au.
tumn, every bank has its reserve OF gold
and silver, and the shops have as much
of the new currency as even they want;
paper money is at par, and even the dis
honored coinage Of the late pope. no
longer a legal tender, is yet at premium
at the money changers. Italy can dis
pense with French silver; and, France
being little piqued, for some time at
least each country will stand on its own
dignity and its own coinage. But this
state of things will not last long. The
decimal coinage is a matter OF cosmo,
politan interest, and lire and francs Will
coon be interchangeable,
