HABITS OF LIZARDS.

How Very Tolerant the Little Reptiles Arc
OF Petty Annoyances.
While the abandonment of their eggs
in this apparently heartless manner
leads to the supposition that they are
Indifferent to their offspring's welfare,
which is true, it is somewhat interest
ing to notice how very tolerant they are
OF the petty annoyances to which their
own or another's young subject them.
My observations on this point were
made from number OF young and old
confined in o roomy Wardian case, but
probably what there saw holds good
among the lizards in their native
haunts. / am sure it did among the
many living on the old trestle at Mays
Landing. Often little lizard, and
sometimes two, would perch upon the
head and back of an adult, and there
be allowed to sit for fully an hour. The
sharp claws of these youngsters seemed
at times dangerously near the eyes and
ears of the patient old one, but it
offered no resistance, and when forced
such burdened lizards to move, it wa<
always with deliberateness that sug.

Grand Jury Report.

To tho Hon. r. R Bigelow, Judge of
the District Court of Nevada in aud for
the County of EIko.
Your Grand Jury empaneled on the
18th day of February, 1889, have had
presented before them seven cases, for
ak of which we have found true bills of
Indictment.
In the O'Connor case, having exam
iued u Large number of witnesses and
after thorough and full Investigation
of ull the facts, we are convinced that
the suspected parties are entirely inno-
cent; and that Thomas O'Connor came
to his death by his own hand.
In Wow of the fact that small pox is
within the borders of our State, we
word recommend that the proper
officers look into The sanitary condition
of our town, and take such steps as
may be necessary to guard against the
introduction of the epidemic in our
midst. To this end We recommend that
the streets and alleys be thoroughly
cleansed.
We find it n acessary in the discharge
Of our duties to call the attention of the
police authorities, the Sheriff anl his
several Deput es, the Justices of the
Peace and their Const.bles of the sever
oil towns and precincts of the county, to
the repidly growing evil of the habit OF
opium smoking. 1t has come to our
knowledge that a number of Chinese
opium dens exist, most notably in the
towns of Curlin, Tuscarora and Elko'
Upon inquiry we learn that at least
Five Hundred pounds of the deadly
drug are consumed monthly within oul
county. We would therefore earnestly
urge the said ofhcets to take immediate
steps to suppress this growing evil.
| We recommend that the County Com.
uliSsioners taxa immediate steps to
render the County Jail more secure
and provide suitable accommodations
for female prisoners.
We recommend that the six double
beds be replaced by twelve single beds
for the better. accommodation Of tria
jurors.
