DYING NEVADA.

Now the eastern journals are taking up
the case of dying Nevada, and are puzzling
themselves over the solution of the problem
which the Sagebrush state presents. Some
editors eagerly adopt the suggestion that
new life be given to the decaying common
wealth by the annexation of Utah, while
others agree with THE HERALD that it
would be a piece OF gross injustice, not
warranted by the situation, to saddle upon
this territory the odorous carcass on the
west.
Two solutions present themselves. One
is to let Nevada die natural death, as she
is fast doing, and pass out of existence.
In this way she will be a dis
turbance to nobody, and will
cost nobody anything. True, two
men will continue to answer
present. when Nevada shall be reached
at the roll call of the United States Senate,
and one will give the same answer in the
House of Representatives; but that is a
small matter and. should not be trouble
some in the national legislature in view OF
the crooked path through which Nevada
entered the union. The Republican party
will never find fault with those three
votes, and the Democrats will not complain,
having endured the peterborough scandal
a quarter of century. 1t will not con-
Germ the nation at large in the least to know
that Nevada is a wilderness, without popu-
lation save at the railway stations and
Indian agencies.
If Congress is charitably disposed and
thinks the nation should maintain paternal
care over the sagebrush deserts and barren
hills, an easy way to reach the matter
would be to undo the crooked work which
was done when the state was admitted and
return Nevada to a territorial condition,
when the general government could pay
the expenses of government, which the
people find it so brrS ensome to meet II

THE NEGROES of Ohio are said to be up
on their ears against the managers of the
Republican party. The black voters in the
state number 10000 and they have been ig-
nored, so far as the political patronage is
concerned, though they have been fawned
upon during the campaign. Realizing that
they hold the balance of power in the state,
the negro leaders announce that unless
they shall be given some of the fruits of the
victories which they help to win they will
resent the slight this fall by the systematic
scratching of certain names on the Repub-
lican ticket, Governor FORAKER being one
of the men against whom the ambitious
colored voters have a grievance. 1t is
hardly to be believed that there is anything
in the rumored black revolt. Itisgdoubted
that the colored people have either the in
telligence or the courage to take the stand
suggested. If they had either they would
long since ahave broken with the party
which has used them solely as the..monkey
employed the cat-for drawing the chest
nuts from the ashes.

A SAD CASE.

1t causes one to shudder when he reads
that the Liverpool jury has returned YER
dict of guilty against Mrs. MAVERICK, on
trial for the murder of her husband. And
yet, one is forced to confess that any other
verdict would have made a farce of the law,
and been in violation of the oath which the
jurors had taken.
For months past the papers have been
full of the story of this unfortunate woman
She is an American, and at one time it was
said she was neice of JEFF DAVIS, though
that assertion was afterwards disproveu,
there being no relationship between her
and the president of the late confederacy.
She is, however, well connected in this
country, and some of her people
are represented as well-todo fnan-
cially. She was handsome, dash
ing widow when she met MAVERICK, apros-
porous Liverpool merchant, and captivated
him. 1t was one of those May and Deem
Der marriages, never satisfactory and
rarely the reverse of unhappy. He was old,
Grabbed and necessarily jealous of his
young and handsome wife, and she being
young and handsome, gave abundant cause
for jealousy on his part. Almost from the
first there was trouble in the household,
and it soon transpired that she had illicit
lovers, with one of whom she seemed in
fatuated. Money which she extOrted from
her husband she gave to her paramour, and
it was shown on the trial that she was in
the habit of spending days at time at
various hotels, with her lover, passing
as his wife. Finally, to rid herself entirely
of the encumbrance of a husband, she set
out to dispose of hers by means of poison,
and it is believed Systematically fed him
arsenic until one day he died. 1t was
known that he and his wife quarreled, and
that fact, coupled with the circumstances
of bis sudden death, occasioned suspicion. |
and this lead to an examination and the |
discovery Of poison in his stomach and also |
in bottles of hers and in medicine which |
she administered. Her arrest followed and |
now comes her conviction and the passing |
of the sentence of death. In England they !
are in the habit of carrying out these |
sentences, even when the victim is |
woman, and in an aggravated |
case of this kind it Is unlikely that mercy |
will assert itself in behalf of the miserable |
creature. There is little doubt that the |
poor woman will suffer death on the scat
fold.
The suggestion is horrible, but there is a |
useful lesson in the case which young
women and old men should study earnestly |
when they contemplate matrimony with |
each other. OF course there are not many |
young women who would murderstheir old |
husbands under any circumstances, and it !
is hoped there are not many young wives Of
old husbands who would encourage lovers |
from the outside; but there is always danger |
in these ilassorted matches, and there are
never the peace and contentment which |
should accompany marriage.

IN A case before the newly made United
States commissioner, GBEENMAN, on Fri
day, the reporters quote the official
named as saying of the defendant; ''He
must be a gay old rooster" Now, this
may be very humorous language on the
street and among the ''boys,'' but we sug-
gest that it is long way out of place in a
court of justice, where the proceedings are
supposed to be conducted with some regard
for the decencies and the proprieties, If
not for the feelings of the accused. The
language would be gentlemanly nowhere,
and coming from judge on the
bench it is both vulgar and
disgraceful, and strongly suggestive
of the proposition that the new commits
sioner may not be the right man in the
right place. If the judge has so little re-

spect for dignity and decency, how can he
hope to inspire in others the respect and
gentlemanly consideration due to the court!
Captain GREENMAN should give himself a
few moments for reflection, and during
that time should impress it upon his mind
that as United States commissioner sitting
as magistrate, he should be radically diff
ferent from street stroller cracking
smutty jokes and indulging in blackguard
talk. If he has any dignity he should show
it on the bench.

Second-Plant in hills or narrow matted
rows-never broad and thickly matted.
Third-Frequent, thorough, shallow pull
verization, or cultivation of soil with
hoe, rake or cultivator, never going over
three or four inches deep. In the grow
ing season, and especially at the time
when drought is likely to commence, the
stirring of the surface should DO done
just as soon after each rain as the soil
can be readily pulyerized. II the soil
bakes and remains cloddy or hard after
rains, 1t needs fbrous manure or mulch
OF rotting straw and compost heap ma
nure to give porosity TO the surface. But
the best and cheapest mulch is a rich
surface soil, kept loose and porous by
frequent stirring.
