Mrs. Chris. Hernleben, of Mason
Valley, tried the experiment OF
growing silk worms. She sent East
for q number Of mulberry trees,
says the Lyon County Times, and
planted them in her garden for the
worms TO feed on. From a small
plant she hatched about 1000 worms
Of which she only kept 100. 1t
takes about SIX weeks for the worms
to spin their cocoons, and two crops
can be raised in q season il the
frosts do not blight the leaves of
the trees. Mr.. Hernleben says
that it would take about 5000 or
5000 worms to make the industry
profitable. 1t is a light and pleas
ant occupation for children, young
ladies or old folks, and it has been
hown that i. can be successfully
carried on IN this State.

According to the New York Her
aid, Thomas A. Edison, the inven-
tor, has been interesting his inven-
tive faculties with his new baby and
q photograph at his home. When
the baby crowed with glee, the crow
was registered on the photograph,
when it got mad and yelled, its
piercing screams was irrevocably
recorded on the same machine.
That photograph is new . recepta-
Gle Of every know noise peculiar to
babyhood. It Is Mr.. Edison's in
tention to take . record of the
strength of the baby's lungs every
three months. 81 will preserve the
record" said he, "until the child
becomes . young lady. Then the
phsnograph can be operated for her
benefit, and she can see for herself
Just what kind of q baby she was,
and went have to take her mothers
and the nurses words for it,"

The Treasury Portfolio.

Senator Jones, in an interview
with San Francisco press reporter,
in reply to question whether he
would accept the portfolio of Secre-
tary OF the Treasury if rendered
him, is credited with saying that if
the people OF Nevada desired it he
would accept. As the Legislature
will adjourn before the Republican
Preslden. is inaugurated, should
Senator Jones receive cabinet APP
pointment his resignation will de-
volve upon the Governor the duty
of appointing his successor.
Should he resign before the adj
iournmeut of the Legislature, that
body will elect his successor, and
State Senator Sharon would in all
probability secure the prize, as he
is the most popular man in the Re-
publican party in Western Nevada.

A POLITICAL sKlPPEx.

Assemblyman-elect Riep, who
will represent White Pine county in
the next Legislature, was burned in
efigy q few days ago in his own
county.
The cause of the burning was the
fact that Riep, who was elected on
. solid Democratic platform, an
nounced after the election that he
would in future belong to the Repub-
lican party. After the efFigy was
burned, Mr.. Rsip reconsidersd his
jump and announced that he would
be . Democrat during the Legisla-
turs, but become q Republican i'm
mediately afterwards.
1t il not surprising that so weak
and tickle man dlsgusts the peo-
pie Of his own county, I'D if the
reports about him are true, he is
not ct tn represent the county, nor
will he be . desirable acquisition to
the Republican ranks.

psny and proprietor of the jewelry store at No.
ITO Fourth avenue, was found dead this morn
ing with his throat cut, in the Florence fats. at
Eighteenth street and Fourth avenue. He has
a wife and child at Hampton, L. l.. and q brother
in this city. The provokinely casual way in
which his friend. John c. Plat, who had a room
adjoining. gave out a notification OF his death,
has annoyed the dead mans friends and the
authorities. Slade retired last night, leaving
Mr.. Plat reading. Plat subsequently went to
bed. and on arising at $50 this morning found
Sla6e with his throat cut. he dressed. and on GO
ing out of the house met two servant girls. whom

cessedis brother and Informed him. DR..

He Scores Another success In Getting His

He Scores Another success In Getting His
Marine Hospital Bill Passed.
kpecial TO the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-General Hovey scored
his final success to-day in securing the passage
by the Senate Of his bill appropriating 100000
for establishment of q marine hospital at Evans
vile. The Senate made q slight amendment to
the bill, which will make it necessary for the
measure to 60 back to the House for concur
renee. but there is no doubt about that being
done promptly. The importance of this bill and
the good 1t will do, not only for Evansville, but
all sailors who land there, was pointed out in q
Journal special at the time it was passed by the
House. two or three weeks ago. General Hovsy
is naturally happy over the action Of the Senate,
and is receiving the thanks of the people at
Evansville and along the Ohio river and its
tributaries. To him is due the credit Of secur-
ing action in both Houses of Congress. Heeave
It bis personal and diligent attention in the
House. and after its passage there he followed it
to the Senate. gos it through the
promptly, and then, by the cooperation OF Sena-
tor Spooner. of Wisconsin, il WAS given early
attention on the floor of the Senate. The bill
was on the Senate calendar about q week. Over
a thousand sick sailors '.lie in" at Evansville
every year. and after this hospital is established
many more than that number will undoubtedly
avail themselves vi it annually.
General Hovey will tomorrow attend the
funeral Of General Sheridan, who was his warm
person friend. He has engaged carriages for,
and has invited to attend with him, all of the
Republican memberS from Indiana.

Nine Moro Biils Returned.

To the Western Associated Press.
W~AsHINGToN, Aug. 10.-The President to-day
vetoed nine private pension bills, all of which
originated in the House. The bills granting
~pensions to Edison Saxbarry, George W. Pitner,
Lydia A. Heiny, VIM. p. Riddle and James C.
White are disapproved upon the ground that
the death or disabilities of the soldiers were not
attributable to their military service. In the
cases of the last two, unexplained charges of de-
sertion appear on record.
An act to pension Bernard Carlin is vetoed on
the ground that his claim Is still before the Pen
sion Office.
The President objects to the act granting a
pension to Sallie T. Ward. widow of w. T.
Ward, vho, after serving in the Mexican war,
entered the war of the rebellion as o brigadier-
general and was wounded in the arm, on the
ground that it does not state that this pension
shall DO in lieu of that which Mrs. Ward is now
receiving under the Mexican pension act.
The bill to pension Mrs. Caroline u. Seyfforth
is vetoed. on the ground that her husbands death
was not ne TO his army service.
The bill to grant O pension to Rachel Barnes
is again vetoed, tie President having disap-
proved a bill TO grant her a pension in 1856.
Her husband committed suicide in March. 1882.
His widow claimed death was due to insanity,
and her application was rejected by the Pension
Bureau. OF this case the President says:
II confess that / have endeavored to relieve
myself from again interpreting objections to the
granting of a pension to this poor and aged
widow. But 1 cannot forget that age and pow
erty do not themselves justify gifts of public
monev, and it seems to me that the according of
pensions is a serious business, which ought to
be regulated by principle and reason, though
these may we'll be tempered with much liber.
