A NEVADA SNAKE SToRY.-The Walker
Lake New Bulletin is responsible for the
following:
A lady in Coryville had for some time
been missing her small chickens. One
evening last week she wentinto the chicken
house, and, noticing a movement under
one of the sills. made search, which ended
in the discovery of snake, about three
feet long, which had probably been hiding
there for long time, living on young
chickens. Its head was about three inches
broad and its body averaged four inches.
The species is the common bull suake. 1t
had accumulated flesh on its sides to such
an extent that nearly all resemblance to its
kind was gone. The confined space which
it occupied kept it from growing other than
sideways, and it resembled very much a
section of wagon tire in shape

TUE San Francisco Chronicle says if''
it is true that it is all but impossible to

other thinS, the attention of the State au-

months past. 1t is only few weeks ago,
that the sheet referred to, asked what all
this beating of tom-toms meant referring
to the slickens agitation, and wondered
what all the fuss was about, since no State
election was near at hand. 1t thus squarely
questioned the sincerity of the debate
relative to the Instructions to navigation,
and the threat of the hydraulic system to
the valleys, the rivers and the bays, and
tip-tilted its nose at the agitation of mat

tends to be much concerned about.

ACCORDING to an Italian prophet the
world is to be destroyed next month. The
work ofblotting out things begins Novem-
Der 18th, and the job is to be finished in
two weeks. Man is to make his last APP
pearance on the thirteenth day, and the
heavens and the earth are to be Gre
mated on the fourteenth day. On
the last day there is to be a gen
eral resurrection and Judgment. This
occasions the editor of the Alta little
trouble-his worldly affairs and the con-
dition of the Democratic party much con-
corning him. He therefore wants to know,
and declares he won't be put off, if the
heavens and the earth are to be DESTROYED
by fire on the fourteenth day, what's the
use of resurrection and general Judgment
on the next day ?" That is clear enough
1t is scheme to give Democratic editors
a chance of probation after death"

WHENEVER candidate for legislative
position or a State Office puts up his head
and they are beginning to be heard from
even this early-the question to ask him,
in the presence of witnesses, is, Are YOU
in favor of carrying out the expressed will
of the people regarding the textbook re-
form, or are YOU to hinder, and burden and
delay, and make so costly the Issuing of
the new school books, that the people will
sicken of the matter and consent to the
scheme being dropped ?" Pledges amount
to but little, but the people need at least
to know the expressed opinions of their
candidates, since it is as certain as that
the sun shines, that the book syndieates
and enemies of the State system will
know their men, and make no mistake
about it.

SAL AMMoYIAe.-The Virginia Newt
Chronicle says;
A prospector arrived here on Tuesday
with sack of samples of a mineral re-
sembling quartz crystals. He took the
samples to an assayer, who pronounced
them crystallized sal ammoniac On being
submitted to a test, the crystals were found
to contain small percentage of ammonia,
sulphate of lime predominating in the
composition. The deposit lies in the cor
ner of Churchill, bordering ON Lyon The
discoverer says that the deposit covers
several acres. He started for the locality
again this afternoon and will sink on the
deposit, as he thinks it may be ammonia
at great depth. Sal ammoniac is val
liable article of commerce, and was first
discovered in the sands of Africa. 1t is
worth in its crude state about 800 per ton.

IT would seem that the people of Europe,
in the blaze of the intelligence of the nine
teenth century, must sicken of the farces
called councils of the Powers, that are
every now and then called to settle the
question of the rule of weak neighbor.
The comedy of new congress on the
Turkish question and the Roumelian i'm
broglio IS to be repeated presently.
The time must come when the people will
give their rulers warning that they have
something to say when peace shall be pre-
served and territory be divided up, and
will rise in their might and put an end to
the interminable Turkish question. That
Power would confer favor upon mankind

more the cause Of constant agitation and

A correspondent of the Providence
Journal takes very serious view OF
church fair lotteries, and in discussing
them remarks: Il suppose there is no
vice more destructive of the moral sense
than is that of the indulgence of desire
to obtain property by chance rather than
by honest labor, or by returning for it
IN equivalent in money, I'm the annals
of crime there is abundant evidence
that such indulgence becomes an appetite
which in time, leaves its victim wholly
without the power of self-control, and
like drunkenness, sinks him into the
wickedness and the misery Of a wretched
and ruined life.

Complaints are often made of blum

1888, forty-fve bills we're recalled from

passage, to be revised and corrected.
IN 1884 fifty bills we're thus recalled.
Great inconvenience and loss have more
