horses and two hundred wagons, for each

One OF the teams was loaded with over
thirteen thousand feet Of lumber.
It was long after dark before the last

PRosPECrs OF A NAVY.

In the report upon the Naval Appro-
preparation bill, the House COMMITTEES on
Naval Affairs summarizes the present
condition and future prospects of the
navy Of this country. The report says :
with regard to the new navy, Con.
gress seems to have settled upon the pol.
icy Of an appropriation toward its con-
,truesion OF about Sc, 200, 900 per annum.
Your committee believes this will build
up a navy as fast as prudence dictates.
Oar Navy Department and shipbuilders
are utilizing the knowledge acquired
the costly experience Of other ma.
lions.
TOO great haste on the part Of the
Government would inevitably result in
confusion and waste, and probably in a
combination among shipbuilders. Be-
sides, it would be an easy matter in this
country TO build ships more rapidly than
we could supply them with armament Of
domestic manufacture.
Satisfactory progress is being made
by private contractors for heavy gun and
army-plate forgings, and for rapid-ire
machine guns, and it will be seen that
Congress, by the passage of the bill, will
have taken the last step to render the
Government independent of the world in
the matter of building and equipping the
navy.
at has been the aim Of the committee
and the department to provide for ships
the best guns in the world. There is
competition for the construction Of en-
gines and machinery, and American en-
terprise and ingenuity seem likely to lead
the world"

sExTEyCED TO THE BAMBOO.
A Horrible Punishment Seen Only
I'm China.

This punishment is as peculiar as
most Chinese punishments are. The
man is seized by four or five stalwart
attendants, thrown down on his face,
his loose pyjamas rolled up 30 to ex-
pose the fieshy part Of the back Of the
thighs. He is firmly held outstretched
in this position by men at his head
and feet. Two operators then squat
down opposite one another OH each
side OF the victim. One takes a strip
Of seasoned bamboo about three feet
long and one inch wide, and begins
lightly spanking the backs of the
thighs. He gives 20 Of these APP
parently harmless spanks, and then
hands the bamboo to his vis-a-vis,
who gives his 20, and then hands it
back; and so on, turn about, until the
200 blows are administered.
At first the punishment looks
ridiculously light; but by the time the
first 30 blows are reached the skin Of
the parts beaten begins to assume the
appearance OF thick wash-leather and
before the hundredth blow the skin
begins to fly off in loose white flakes /;
by the time 200 blows have been
struck the whole of the back Of both
thighs look like a mass Of swollen raw
liver, though not a drop of blood
flows from the parts. 1t is said that
a mar would expire under the ex-
cruciating torture of $50 of these blows.
l have never seen anything like the
exquisite agony depicted in that mans
livid, ~quivering features, when he was
carried into the prison to recover

wanted-A National Air.

America is yet unprovided with a
national air possessing the breadth
and dignity worthy of a great country.
There are several tunes that by force
of association have been adopted in
lieu of a melody worthy Of the dignity.
Hail Columbia" is a weak and
colorless production. "The Star
Spangled Banner is suggestive of a
horse parade in a circus. "My May
land " is an old German air OF no
striking merit. any Country IT'S of
Thee" is adapted to the English
national air, "God Save the Queen"
Then we have Dixie" an old negro
tune "John Brown" an old camp
meeting effusion, and the inappropri-
ate " Yankee Doodle" The time has
now arrived for some OF our native
musicians to devote their best ener-
gies to the production of an air that
shall be worthy OF the occasion, and
typical of this great nation.-Musical

ment, specious a. it Is, and to that Tact

All minor species and kinds Of gambling

are not saDetioned BY the Constitution,
and at any time should they become gen
orally obnoxious or Immediately destrue-
tive Of the pablo welfare, the Legislature
can either restrict them within proper
bounds or prohibit them altogether.
The licenses are issued for short peri

be a rascal = renewal Of his license can
be refused.
These facts. however. do not apply to
the proposed lottery. Il will be fortified
By a constitutional authority, and any

The Glove EiSh, FizzIa.

The scrapping match at the Carson
Opera House was more OF a fistic
failure than a financial success. Bran
nan did all OF the fighting and Elliot
izzled out in two rounds. In the first
round Elliot received three heavy
blows on the head, jaw and ribs. and
in the second was knocked out by a
big lick in the left eye. Brannan was
not even hit during the scrap, which
only lasted six minutes. There Is
said to have been a large audience
present, but after the fight it was very
difficult to find anybody who ac-
knowledged he was there.

acres. The mineral land includes To-
000,0 0 acres.

FOR THE TREASURY
DEPARTMENT.

II is now being stated by the Eastern
correspondents that Senator Allison, of
Iowa, is to be General Harrison's Secre-
tary of the Treasury. 1t will be a gain
for the West If the rumor turns out to be
true, for after all the Pacific Coast has q
deeper stake in the conduct and policy Of
the Treasury Department than in any
other purely administrative branch Of the
Government. The Secretary Of the Treas.
ury may WELD q potent influence in the
promotion of the silver interest il be feels
inclined to do so. It has been claimed
for General Harrison that he will lend
the white metal a helping hand. II he
selects a Secretary in accord with this
view, instead of a New York goldbug,
the coinage Of standard silver dollars may
at least be increased from the minimum
to the maximum allowed by law, or from
1000. 900 to 1000. 900 per month. But
we are not quite certain Of Senator ALI.
sons record oil the silver question. 1t is
our recollection that he belongs to the
Blaine and Sherman school OF bimetalists,
which, to put the case in plain terms,
favors the adding Of a sufficient amount
of silver bullion to the standard dollar to
bring 1t up TO an equal in value with the
gold dollar. There is not much in this
position, except as a convenient way Of
s~traddling the main issue and thus being
all things to all sides. What the silver
men really want is an honest aud full ad.
ministration of the law as it stands. II
Senator Allison proves to be a man
friendly to the present legal ratio OF the
metals his appointment to the Treasury
portfolio will be hailed with great delight
by the advocates Of silver throughout the
West. The fact that he is himself a
western man gives reason to hope that
we may find a more liberal policy towards
silver than has characterized the Govern
ment at Washington for many years past.

take it upon themselves to send their
