II was at the second battle Of Bull
Run that q connon-ball carried off a
poor soldiers leg. "Carry me to the
rear" he cried to a tall Yankee COM
panion, who had been fighting by his
side. The Yankee caught the wounded
soldier up, and, as he was about to put
him across his shoulder, another con-
non-ball carried away the poor fellows
head. The Yankee, however, in the
confusion did not notice this, but pro-
ceeded with his burden toward the
rear. "What are you carrying that
thing for?" cried the officer. "Thingp'
returned the Yankee; otis a man
with his leg shot off," "Why, he
hasn't any head!" cried the officer.
The Yankee looked at his load,
and for the first time saw that what
the officer said was true. Throwing
down the body, he cried, "Confound
him, he told me il was his leg!"

THE "BATTLE-RORNY STATE.

II will be thirty years on the 3lst OF
October next since Nevada was admitted
into the Union. The admission was done
in a hurry, the enabling act being tele-
graphed from Washington to Carson.
The haste was occasioned by the desire
to have Nevadans legally participate in
the Presidential election which ensued
the following week, and in which it was
deemed necessary to have Nevada's
three electoral votes.
Eastern papers indulge in slurs and
sneers concerning Nevada's dwindling
population, forgetful of the days when
it was the backbone of the North's
finances, turning in hundreds of mill
ions of gold and silver. San Francisco,
too, owes at least grateful remembrance
to the State that enriched SO many Of
iss citizens. But though the glory OF
Nevada belongs almost wholly to the
past, she has wealth apart from that
concealed in her crsgs. Her area of
over ITO, 900 square miles comprises great
tracts that only need irrigation to pro-
duce fruitful crops, and while the output
may aggregate less in value than the
mining yield for many years, yet there
is permanence to the pursuit that will
turn the tide Of wealth toward that
State instead of away from il.
1t is Q noticeable fact that the finan-
ces Of Nevada are in better shape to-day
than those Of any other State in the
Union. In many Of the counties there
is more money than is needed in the
County Treasury. and the mercantile
failures make the smallest item in the
Dun or Bradstreet sts.-Mining and
Scientific Press.

Many people think that Jonathan
Bassett, who died recently, was the
first ossifed man. He may have been
the first on exhibition, but not the
first on record. In the Museum oil
Natural History at Dublin is the skele-
ton OF a native OF South Ireland who
was ossifed during his lifetime, living
in that condition for years. His Attic
ton came on in a peculiar manner.
One night after a carousal he slept out
in a field. Soon thereafter his joints
began to stiffen. He could not arise
nor sit down unattended. Neither
could he bend his body, and when
placed upright resembled stone. His
teeth and jaws became joined into a
solid bone. He lost his sight and the
use OF his tongue, and for years was
kept alive by nourishment artificially
administered. Doctors could do moth
ing for him, and when he died they
preserved the strange skeleton or
mummy, which is now on exhibition.

THEN AND NOW.


A Washington dispatch of May 7 says
Senator Lodge introduced an amend.
ment to the Tariff bill in the Senate,
providing 'that as against Great Brit.
ain or any Of her colonies a duty double
the amount imposed in the proposed
Tariff bill shall be levied and q duty Of
IS per cent on all articles on the free
list, such duties to continue until Great
Britain shall assent to take part in an
international agreement with the United
States for the coinage and use Of silver"
This is the same gentleman who, in a
speech in Boston, Mass, about Q year
ago, declared that the Republican party
stood IS . bulwark against the free coin.

organization he was proud to be found
assisting in defending the Notifications
raised by that party against the enact
ment Of such q measure. The wisest
thing this Lodge can do is to 60 into
some vast wilderness and seek some
boundless contiguity Of shade, where the
sound Of his voice for silver will never
reach as more.

leaving only five pounds of hair in the
harness. He commenced his work in
California, but finding even a poor
quality OF hair scarce at a dollar a
pound, and learning OF the bands OF
wild horses in Nevada, he moved to
Cottonwood, in the East Range, and
there devoted two months to lassoing
the untamed steeds Of the mountains,
and selecting from their flowing names
and unkempt tails the longest, strong
est hairs. When the hundred pounds
had been gathered he set to work on
his arduous task.

The Populists Of Topeka, Kansas, are
rejoicing over the discovery Of q docu-
ment that was found there recently.
and which they propose using as a cam
paign document in the coming election in
that State this Fall. The story runs that
ct . recent meeting Of the State Board
Of Agriculture in Topeka, Hon. Daniel
Needham of Boston, who is q prominent
capitalist Of the latter city, was invited
to deliver an address. He selected as
his topic "The Relation Of Western Ag-
~riculturs to the East" No one suspect
ed that he would drift into Populistic
theory, and only the members OF the
Board heard the address. IL was
not published, and it was laid away in
the archives Of the department. The
new Secretary gave it to the State
Printer along with other matter which
the Board directed should 60 into the
quarterly report just issued. The State
Printer, being q leading Populist, and
recognising . good thing when he sees il,
held . council Of war with his associates,
and after an examination Of the docu-
ment decided that it ought to be used In
the campaign, and the result is that tens
Of thousands Of copies will be distrib-
uted over the State during the next few
weeks.
Mr.. Needham's discussion Of the inan-
ciAl legislation by the present Congress
touched q responsive chord in the hearts
Of Kansas Populists. Reviewing the
conditions for the past two years. he
said:
"a good watchword for America is.
mo d~ictation in finance or civil policy
from the ancient aristocracies which we
have outgrown.' Leaving the Govern
ment and coming directly to the people,
. solution Of present business conditions
might be found in the departure of the
people from the simplicity of the faith
ers. As evidence Of this l could cite
columns Of our daily papers, which are
filled with entertainments by men Of
high business and social position; the
daily suicide Of educated and cultivated
men, the sequel of whose death, by their
W record. is ~chargeable to extravagant
habits and wasteful expenditures; the
so per cent more bankruptcy this year
recorded by the commercial agencies of
the country over those Of last year; the
corporations as well as individuals that
have found their way by hundreds into
the hands of receivers, which has made
the times appear to threaten almost ami
versal bankruptcy. The horoscope OF
the politician discovered that the pro-
duction and use of American silver in
the currency Of the country was the
cause of this calamity"

the OREGON ELEcrIos.

An election will be held in Oregon,
June 4tb, for State and county officers,
two Congressman and members Of the
Legislature. There are three tickets in
the field, the Republican. Democratic
and Populist. In 1892 there we're 49,
49l votes polled in the State. of these
Harrison received 35,002; Cleveland,
Ia, 243 and Weaver, d, 965. One Weaver
e~lector, who was indorsed by the Dem
ocrats, was elected, and the Republicans
elected the other three by q plurality Of
S,037. This year the Republicans and
Democrats have fused in most populous
counties in the State, but there has been
NO fusion, so far, on the State ticket.
The Legislature to be chosen on the
| 6rst Monday in June will elect . United
States Senator to succeed Joseph N.
Dolph, whose term will expire on March
3, 1895. Mr.. Dolph has heretofore been

zion company in Oregon, and, doubtless,

The success Of the Populist ticket in
Oregon is not probable in consequence
of the opposition Of the corporations,
which are numerous and powerful in
the State. II is stated, however, that
the people, especially in the sgricultu-
raj counties, have abandoned the old
parties. and that the OBJECTIONS in the
rural districts will offset corporation
influence in the railroad and river towns.
