An Editors Work.

Henry Watterson, who ought to know,
says, in the Courier Journal, something, as
follows, which, it may be interesting for
some bellyachers to read: Some people
estimate the ability Of q periodical and the
talent Of its editor by the quantity Of its
original matter. 1t is comparatively an
easy task for a frothy writer to string out a
column Of words upon any and all subjects.
His ideas may flow in one weak, wsshy,
everlasting flood, and the command Of his
Language May enable him to string them
together like punches OF onions, and yet
his paper may be but a meager and poor
concern. Indeed the mere writing part of
editing a paper is but a small portion Of the
work. The care, tho time employed in
selecting, N far more important, and the
fact of a good editor is better shown by
his selections than anything else; and that,
we know, is half the battle. But, we have
said, an editor ought to be estimated, his
labor understood and appreciated, by the
general conduct Of his paper-its tone, its
uniform, consistent course, aims, manli-
ness. its dignity, and its propriety. To
preserve these as they should be preserved,
is enough to occupy fully the time and at
tention of any man. If to this be added
the general supervision of the details OF
publication which most editors have TO
encounter, the wounder is how they find
time to write at all.

Scarcity of Horses.

W. D. Bighan, the horse man, informed
a Gazette reporter yesterday that he had
lust returned from a trip to Oregon in
search OF horses, and found them very
scarce. He says that where three years
ago a man could pick up 500 horses in a
day or so, he can't find that many now in
two counties; in fact, they are the scarcest
thing there is. The reason is that there is
a big local as well as foreign demand.
The Chinese Government is buying a good
many; 60 went over on one steamer last
week from Portland. Some are going to
the Sandwich Islands and Japan. The
prices promise to be very high for good
work horses, as there are not so many
people raising horses as there were. Mr..
Bighan says if a man has good horses 6 or
7 years old, we'll broken, he can take them
to San Francisco and get 5000 or $500 q
span.-Reno Gazette.
II the Gazette's correspondent doesn't
set 'em up too high the ranchers in Nevada,
who can raise as good horses as come
from the Blue Grass region, have Q tine
opportunity to make money.

Sunlight Un.er The Sea.

Prof. Verrill, of Yale College (who, by
the way, is a brother to Ed. yerrell, for
merly conductor ON the V. q T. Railroad,
and Mrs. S. @. Davis and Mrs. McLaugh'
lin of CARSON, asserts that light OF soms
kind, and in considerable amount, exists
at depths of the sea below 1000 fathoms
He draws his conclusions from the results
Of the deep-sea dredging by the United
States Fish Commission. His main argu'
ment is drawn from the fact that well-de'
veloped eyes exist in most Of the fishes
living at great depths and in all the cut
ties. Again, the fact that a large proper
ton of all deep-sea animals are highly.
colored implies the existence OF light
Prof. Verrill concludes that more or less
sunlight does actually penetrate to the
greatest depth OF the ocean in q soft sea
green halo, perhaps at 1000 feet equal in
intensity to our partly moonlit nights.

A gentleman who has been travelling in
Mexico brings back a good story illustrative
of the peculiar lack Of inventiveness of the
people of our sister republic. A church
was lately built at Lagos, on the main line
Of the Mexican Central railroad, and when
finished the fathers were annoyed to find
tina. a big hole, from which the clay for the
adobes used in constructing the edifice had
been excavated, remained directly in front
of the main entrance. Orders were given
to have the unsightly hole filled up. This
was done by shoveling into it earth and
clay from the nearest bank. But this, OF
course left another hole, and 30 the pains
taking Mexicans went to work and filled
that up in like ann leaving another
gap in the ground, which was then filled,
and the operation was repeated until the
hole was run out of town, 30 to speak, and
the good fathers congratulated themselves
on being rid OF an unsightly nuisance.
People who wonder that the Mexicans are
not more e~nterprising than they are, will
find in this little tale n explanation OF
the difficulty which stands in the way OF a
rapid development Of the country.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
n Little Girl Rum over by q
Loaded

LOSued WaS
Yesterday afternoon several little child
rem living on North Main street W ent out
to play, aud strayed down to the Fish
Pond. They had amused themselves
there for awhile, when a teamster drove by
with q couple of wagons loaded with ma
hogany wood. He saw the children as he
passed, but he did not see them attempt to
get upon his wagons. His attention was
called to their having gotten on only after
a shocking accident occurred. He was
opposite Smith & Doak's livery stable,
when several men who we're standing there
abouts yelled to him to stop. He did so,
and looking back saw a little girl, the o.
year.old daughter Of Commissioner Smith.
lying bleeding in the rut over which his
"backaction" had just passed. 1t appears
that as the wagon was moving slowly by
the Fish Pond two or three of the
children had managed to Chamber
up, without making any noise TO attract
the driver, and place themselves astride
of the tongue connecting the two wagons.
They remained safe and enjoyed the sport
until the point indicated was reached when,
they were jolted by the wheels going down
into a wash-out crossing the road. Little
Hattie Smith was thrown off by the shock,
her head striking the wagon as she fell.
The front wheel of the second wagon
passed over her right arm without break
ing it, but MASKING the muscles and other
flesh Of the inside from elbow to shoulder
into a pulp. When DR.. Thoma was called
in there was nothing to be lone but to cut
this off entirely, as it WAS held on by only
a shrsad Of skin. Her left hand was some
what bruised and the second finger on this
hand was broken. The parents attach no
blame for the accident to the driver, who
was totally unaware Of the children on the
wagon.
