The Invention of a Yankee.

Norwich, Nov. 2G.-Some months
ago Willard A. Lucas, son of Mr.. Samuel
Lucas, the wool manufacturer of Poque-
rannuck, had his right hand severed in
his fathers mill, aud since, MIR. Lucas,
Sr., who has inventive genius, has used
every effort to replace the missing mem
ber with as useful substitute as posi-
BILE. After visiting or writing to the
most prominent makers of artificial lin bs
in America, he learned that it was in
vain to search, either in this country or
Europe, for an artificial hand that could
be used in doing work. Thereupon Mr..
Lucas determined to make hand him.

night for four months before be was sue.
cessful. He has produced an aluminium
hand that is very much like an old-time
steel gauntlet, and that is almost as
handy as is a natural hand. The fingers
are all perfect in shape and appearance,
and the joints bend like those of the
human fingers. 1t is smaller than the
natural hand, but with it man can DO
about every kind of work.
Mr.. Willard Lucas has worn one ofthese
artificial hands for several weeks, and
with it can grasp and handily use all
kinds of farm tools, pick up things from
the ground. drive, handle Il gun-in
fact, use his metal hand skillfnlly and
quickly at any work. Like the natural
hand, the'artiicial one consists of palm,
that is provided with fastening by
which it is attached to the cork or wood
en- stump that all one-handed men wear
in place of the missing member, and Of
fingers, aud Il thumb, the joints of which
are worked by ratchet. so that they
may be bent forward at any angle aud

tightly closed or "uIy partly shut, and

them against the hudy nr nlher object,
To release the fingers it is necessary only
to touch small spring on the back of
TIE baud. The inYention is q nearly
perfect substitute for the natural hand,
and the only thing of the kind in the
world. Willard Lucas AYERS that lie
would not part with the device for for.
tune if it was not possible to reproduce
it. By means of an ingenious coutriv-
ance the artificial hand may be moved
sideways at the place where it is attached
to the arm, exactly as the natural hand
is moved.

Something New and Good.

Col. Durr has again made step for ward as public benefactor. It had come to his ears recently, that some of the ladies of Tucson were complaining about the beer sold iE this city being bitter. Being on confidential terms with his grandmother, famous old lady who has spent her life studying the likes and dislikes of her sex, he wrote her, explaining what was the matter with the ladies of Tucson. The grandmother knew at oEce the remedy, and straight way sent a carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer. This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city. and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It is just the thing for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they will have no other afterwards. The grandmother has never made a mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for tie satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good.
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell this beer at S12 per bbl. and S2.20 per doz so that all may share in the luxury nd benefits afforded by It's use.

SUMMONED A JURY,
Reaching Out.

MT. Julius Goldbaum, proprietor of Jules Club saloon, put force of men at work yesterday morning to ra:.ke some important changes in his place of business. He will, as soon as the build ing can be arranged for the purpose. move the counter out of the present bar room and shelve It on both sides. in which will be kept barrel goods of the best quality ever brought to this market. All kinds of bottled liquors. bitters, etc., will be displayed and offered for sale at reasonable prices. The room to the rear of the old bar will be fitted up with an elegant sideboard. where drinks will be mixed and served in the latest style of the art. MT. Goldbaum makes this change to accommodate his constantly increasing jobbing trade. which in the future will receive special attention. The front of the building will remain as it now is and will be con tlnued as a cigar store, where may be found all maner of smokers articles and fine cutlery.

In Good Hands.

The committee of nine appointed by the St. Louis Silver Convention to super wise the printing in pamphlet form of the proceeding of that convention for gen eral distribution throughout the coun- try, and to formulate a plan by which the friends of the white metal may pool their issues in the interest of free coin age, says the Nevada Enterprise will meet in Washington about January To to compare notes. At the request of the committee before leaving St. Louis, Hon. Thomas Fitch of Reno and two other members of the committee accepted the task of performing the principal part of the labor required and report the result of their deliberations of the wholc com mittee at a later date. Every m mber of the committee is expected to be pre- sent at the meeting in January, when active warfare in the interest of silver will commence.

THE COLD WAVE.
It Sweeps Through the Valleys and
 Low Lands of Nevada.

The cold wave still holds possession oi the lowland regions of this state says the Virginia City Enterprise. Out about Elko the spirit thermometer has regis tered 90 below in the past two or three days. In places in the valley of the Humboldt it has been 10 below.
 The Carson Tribune of last evening says: This morning Friends self-regis- tering thermometer indicated 2515 de- grees below zero; at Geo. T. ThaXter's residence. in the northwestern part of town, the thermometer registered 2S below. Warden Mccullough reports it 2S12 at the prison, while Senator Will Hams reports his thermometer at the Mexican mill, Empire, as showing 8 de- grees below zero.
 At Dayton yesterday morning it was 16 below, and dispatch received last evening from Sutro says that it was 16 below tn re at 5:S0 yesterday morning, and , below at 6 o'clock last evening.
 Here on the mountain it has not yet touched zero, though it has been wrong ly reported below.
 The cold seems to settle down into the low places in the face of the country Out wards the center of the state there seems to be sort of trough run ming far away through Idaho to the Arctic regions. The cold that paralyzes Elko and other places in that section comes down from the far north through this natural depression or trough.

MT. Johnny Began, superintendent of the Yellow Jacket mine, was in the city yesterday. He reports that camp in a satisfactory condition. The mill at Ari- vaca is being supplied with ore from the Yellow Jacket mine, and runs regular, producing bullion. A new mill will be erected at the Yellow Jacket next spring.
 At Hawthorne, Nevada, the other day, as Chinese corpse was about to be hauled out of town in job wagon to be planted in the bosom of mother earth, the exploding of bunch of funeral firecrackers stampeded the team. In the runaway the wagon struck a post and pitched the corpse out into the street bursting the coffin and rolling the Celestial Tn the snow. The accident caused vast deal of Chinese gabble, the greater part of which was no doubt pure profanity. After the mishap the Chinese would not again trust the team, but hired lot of Flutes to transport the remains to the grave yard.

Grant County New Mexico.

1tis strange, and yet it is fact, says | the Silver City Enterprise, that Grant | county has more criminals in her jail on | average, than any other two or three
 counties in the territory. She has now,
 and has had for many months, more | than all the other counties of the south
 ern part of the territory. We do not be- lieve 1t is because the citizens of the county are any worse than in any of the other counties, and yet there must be some reasonable solution of this state of affairs. We are inclined to the opinion
 that it is because our juries have been
 too lenient in the past. The majority of
 those arrested for murder are cleared,
 while those who are found guilty are
 given the lghtest sentence possible.
 These would-be bad men have come to
 the conclusion that they can kill man
 in this county and either come clear or
 get off with year or so. They have no
 fear of the law, and there are but few of
 them who are not willing to spend few
 months in the county jail for rotoriety
 of having killed a man. Without wish
 ing to r fleet upon any prisoner confin
 cd at the present time Tn the jail, isn't
 it about time for the citizens to call a
 halt in this shooting business? If man
 is guilty of murder he should receive
 the full penalty of the law, and if not
 give him his liberty. This thing of Q
 man being convicted of murder and then receiving sentence of only three years, makes burlesque of our courts, and has encouraged crime until our jail has been crowded for the past few years. The expense of keeping these criminals is something tremendous in the course of year. Itis, in fact, the principal item of expense in this county, and is apparently growing larger year by year. It is high time that the citizens should awake to the importance of putting a stop to this promiscuous shooting. Let few judicial hangings occur, and the shooter will give this county the go-by.
