A PRIZE FIGHT serweex sQuaxs.


The Washoe and Piute Indians OF
Nevada have found out n new and
congenial amusement, says the Virginia
City Enterprise. This is in pitting
their squaws against one another III
rough aud tumble fights. In these
fights no rules are observed; every
thing goes hair-pulling, scratching,
biting, gouging OF eyes and kicking are
as legitimate as blow straight from
the shoulder.
When two robust young squaws
have been stripped to breech clouts,
the bucks squat about them in "a ring
and the battle and the ting begin.
In u recent battle near Jack Valley,
Smoke Creek sam Ia Piute) backed
his squaw against the mahaIa of Big
Month Jim, "a leading man among the
Wasbocs. About 5000 in silver and
several ponies changed hands on the
result. smoke Creek Sans squaw was
the victor, and Sam won two ponies
and over $50 in coin.
The fight lasted nearly an hour, and
when 1t ended the two squaws were
covered with blood. Not much hair
was left on the head of either. Big
Mouth Jim's niahala was dragged out
OF the ring with but little left OF either
ear, while smoke Creek Sans squaw
had one eye hanging out ON her cheek.

According to Prof. Gouid's investi-
cations, It appears that aerial tele-
graph wires on poles transmit cleo
tricity at the rate of from $4,000
to 10000 miles per second, and that
the velocity OF transmission increases
with the distance between the wires
and the earth, or, in other words, wit n
the height OF suspension, and that
subterranean wires, like submarine
cables, transmit with reduced rapidity
Again, while wires suspended at a
feeble height are known to transmit
signals at a velocity of some 10000
miles per second, those that are sus-
pended higher give a velocity of from
$1,000 to "a 900 miles. Wheatstone' :
claim of PISS 900 miles. in his expert
ments, appear never to have been
confirmed.

Sheridan's Condition.
WASHINGTON, May 81. = About one
hundred members of the house attended
the Democratic tariff bill caucus last
night and remained in session until mid
night. Several amendments to the Mills
bill were proposed and considered but
the only change agreed upon in caucus
was a reduction in the duty on rice meal
from 20 to 15 per cent. ad valorem. Be
yond this change in the bill it was or
dered to go ahead to discussion of the
amendments of the bill immediately
after the house had disposed of the legis-
lative bill. A resolution offered by Mr..
Springer was adopted, earnestly request
ing Democratic members OF the house to
remain in the city and in their seats
until the tariff bill is disposed of. The
The adjournment was virtually without
