EerYe and Muscle.

The Wood River Times OF the end.
tells the following: Yesterday G.. w.
Parker, agent ut Tikura, and family
went down to Little Wood River fishing.
and i'll crossing the stream upon foot
log, Il mishap occurred which nearly
cost three lives. Mr.. Parker had cross
ed with his little daughter and was re-
turning to help his boy IA lad OF seven
when he saw the little fellow crossing
alone. He fastened to assist him, but
before he could reach the boy, he lost
his footing and fell in. The river is mar
row at that point and runs like n mill
race. The father at once plunged in
after the boy, and succeeded in reaching
him, but in such an exhausted condition
that he could not hold him against the
rush Of the water, which wrcnched him
from his grasp and bore him swiftly
down the river. A ranchman, named
Preston, hearing the shricks Of the fran
tic mother, ran TO the spot, and learning
the situation ran down the bank of the
river about 300 yards, where he saw
the little fellow go down, diyed in after
him, and after almost supcrhuman ex-
ertions bore him to the shore, and not n
minute too soon, for the boy was uncon-
scious and remained in that condition
for some time, but was finally restored
and is now comfortable, but very weak.
The water Mt this place has such speed
and force that IL stripped the boy Of his
boots aud nearly all his clothing.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE OF
NEW DA.

The following pen-picture of the
"Battle-born," furnished by the San
franciscan, arouses the suspicion that
the editor of that journal has at some
period of his earthly pilgrimage "kept
cases for the political gamblers and
sack-bearers who in the flush times past,
welded their golden scepters on the
famous Comstock, and through their
faithful lieulenants pol.d down all the
political persjmmons worth gathering in
the State:
''ln no State in the Union is the ex-
citement over the approaching Presiden-
tlal election so intense rs i'll Nevada.
While having, like other people, their
patriotic impulses, PARTISAN leaDings
and personal preferences as to candi-
dates, the yoteIs Of Nevada are practical
men, and never ioolishly allow ntiment
TO interfere with business. They per-
ceive now, with the rest OF the world.
that the coming election will be IA very
close one, and that each side will fight
hercely for every electoral vote. Neva-
da has three Of them. She hasn't much
else at present. The mines are not pro-
ducing, and the farmers can find no
market worth speaking of for their pro-
duce-the home sale being limited and
outside competition with California far
mers being out of the question. Politics
Is the only business remaining from
which anything like a reasonable profit
can be derived. "Ihc State is naturally
Republican 10y about five or six hundred
majority" Nevada Senator said TO the
writer II few days ago, but it all de-
Ipends ON which side has the sack when
1t comes down to voting. There are
now less than fifteen thousand voters in
the State" We call the attention of the
successors Of Chairman BaTnum and
Jewell, Of the Democratic and RepubIi-
can National Committees, to these facts
Three electoral votes, and only fifteen
thousand voters to handle! 1t would be
the pleasant pastime Of au afternoon for
man like Senator Dorsey TO pocket
those votcs--Dorsey, the Secretary OF
the Republican Committee, whose mas.
terry use of 'soap" i'll Indiana, in 1850,
drew from Mr.. Arthur, in n public
speech at Dc!monico's, something like
three years ago, encomiums which
evoked "grcat laughter" fIom Mr..
BeeChcr, General Grant and lhe hundred
or more great men Of the party who sat
on that memorable and clcvating occa-
sion nt the banqucting- board. Those
who figure that because Nevada went for
Hancock i'll 1850 she will be Democratic
this year, and those who fancy that the
electric Mr. Blaine can sweep her with
u wLoop. don't know Nevada. She is
sitting On the fence, and a ilng waves

any possibility mistake the flags color
