Mr.. Bancroft, the historian, used to
tell the story OF another kind OF slip
of the tongue During holiday launf
in Switzerland, Sir Paul Hunter was
lost News flies swiftly ami gathers
as It goes. 1t was soon said that guides
were away up in the mountains to hnd
a missing man. Somebody had seen or
heard signals of distress. Lady Hun.
ter, safe in the hotel. began to tremble
for her husband. But his predieament
was not so desperate, after all. He was
discovered and given the necessary
help and guidance for his descent.
Late in the evening he returned alone
to the hamlet as If nothing had hap
pened. Wishing to avoid notice and
questions from inquisitive persons, he
had sent his guides away. But as he
passed through the waiting crowd OF
travellers, Lady Hunter ran to meet
him.
f"Oh, Paul." she cried, II am SO glad
to see you back! Where have you
been? Some silly man has lost himself
in the mountains, and ! feared II
might have been you"
The others smiled at the slip OF the
tongue, but the silly" man was pleased
with her kindly consideration for his
welfare, although the literal construc.
ton of her sentence was by no means
complimentary.
Some comical slips of the tongue are
due to doubtful or insufficient informa-
ton. There may be lack OF important
knowledge of the person addressed

Ono of the Parisian Queens Creates .

The scene Is Mentone, q resort for
consumptive people, bnt which be-
comes fashionable. since a few MEN,
bers OF the light squadron OF the army
Of beauty have decided that Cannes
was stuck up, Nice dusty and vulgar,
Monte Carlo good en- passant only, and
that Mentone would do better than
any other place as the headquarters on
the blue coast. Lame de Pougy was
the first to start the movement when
she fitted up at Mentone the dxintiest
OF the villas, which is always en- fete,
and looks every evening like an en-
chanted bower. She felt like the queen
OF the place, and behaved as such till
the day of the battle of the flowers
came, when she expected to be crowned
by her admiring subjects. She arrived
last on the scene, SO as not to mar the
effect; she appeared standing, driving
tandem, her carnage completely hid
den under thick bower of carnations,
roses and hyacinths, she herself be-
ing got up as bunch Of lilacs of
different shades, from the deep reddish
Charles X. to the palest Persian, and
then pure white
A murmur Of delight received her,
and her vanity was almost satisfied;
but, how it happened nobody knows,
at the distribution Of banners she re.
ceived the smallest and most insignifi-
cant one. The superb beauty took II
with grin; then, pulling from her
hair diamond pin, which held two
punches of lilacs, she pricked the satin
and tore a big hole in it, then handed
the rag to her groom, with whisper
The man broke the golden handle in
two, and threw the whole on the
grou i'd. After this the tandem wal
turned around and the offended beauty
drove home.
Till now the story is not extraordi
nary, but the point comes with the
worthy mayor Of Mentone, at the same
time president Of the committee Of the
battle, who few minutes later drove
to the enchanted bower, insisted or
seeing the fairy of the place, ant
actually asked to be forgiven for an in
voluntary and much-deplored error
but the punches Of lilac nodded merci

Liane, after having shown the door t.
the inconsolable dignitary, declared
that she was leaving Mentone on tn,

ASaasAT RUSSIAN GENERAL.
He Disobeysd Order. But Won Splendid
Victory.

Victory.
We read OF many brave sayings Of
men who have borne arms and fought
for their country, but it is not very
often that such are quoted Of the
Russian soldiery. The following is one
told Of the great Russian general Sou
worrow. It-seems that while major
in command Of q few small ontposts in
sight Of an enemy that was daily grow
ing stronger in numbers, he begged
permission of his superior officer to at
tack them, fully confident OF his sue
cess, and he even went so far as to
pledge his life on the issue. The COM
mander-in-chief thought 1t rash and
impracticable in view Of the enemy's
greater numbers, and forbade the at
tempt Souworrow, foreseeing that de-
lay only increased the danger, and
more and more threatened his posi-
tion, gathered his officers Ground him,
and by coaxipg and fattery succeeded
in working them up to such a pitch
that they readily agreed to the attack.
They mustered one Thousand strong
after embracing all the outposts un-
der his command, and the enemy,
numbering five thousand, never
dreamed that a force of one thousand
men would attack. them. They were
taken by surprise at night, and Sou
worrow obtained a decisive victory II
was then he wrote his famous report:
"As soldier, deserve death for DISC
beying orders; as a Russian, have
done my duty-the enemy is no more.
The commander-in-chief, upon receiving
the report was thunderstruck, though
highly pleased; but, in doubt as to how
to treat the matter, sent the report,
with statement Of the affair, to the
empress. Her majesty was grateful,
however, and immediately returned
the following answer, addressed TO
Souworrow "As q soldier, leave you

A NEW TAX BILL.

Assemblyman Flanagan has intro
duced bill to provide revenue for the
support of the State Government and
70 repeal certain relating thereto.
IT extends The 4 for assessing live
stock BY giving tho Assessor author
ity to make the assessment on any
calandar day of the year, thus lessen
ing the opportunity for owners OF
transient stock, such as cattle and
sheep to evade taxation. 1t also pro-
vides that live stock driven here from
other States shall be liable to the
same tax as stock which have win
tered in Nevada, Notwithstanding the
tax on such stock may have been
paid in other States. Live stock
driven here for commercial purposes
are, however. under the provisions OF
the bill, exempt from this rule.
It has been the custom for Califor-
MIA sheep owners to drive their flocks
into Nevada and Summer them here.
The taxes on these flocks were paid.
or claimed to have been paid, in Cal
ifornia before they were driven here.
They fatten on the grasses. and dam
age the roads in Nevada, yet do not
contribute cent to support the State
or county Governments. As the OBJ
iect OF the bill is to make them do so
there should not be any objection to
it's passage.

BECK OF WASHOE.

In yesterday mornings session, Mr.
Beck, one Of the members from Was
hoe county, made a speech in behalf
OF proposition to consolidate Washoe
Ormsby and Storey. His talk was
not wholly for the measure, for it was
such i'll considered legislation that its
introduction was considered as merely
one Of Beck's jokes. 1t was to give him
a chance to make an onslaught on the
bill, one Of the provisions Of which
segregated a portion OF Washoe
county, and attached it to Ormsby. In
the course Of his speech he made
fierce onslaught on the APPEAL, and
stated that it was called the Morning
Screw Driver" in this county, and that
it's editor stood on a mountain back OF
the Holstein Ranch each day and
shouted to the people Of Washoe,
Come over here ye sons Of upright
eousness, bunko steerers and robbers
and join u.s."
Now this statement is not true, for
We only called on the solid yeomanry
Of the South end Of the county to come
in, the farmers, husbandmen and
taxpayers, who have been for twenty
years kicking at our doors by petition,
and we never extended any invitation
to Mr.. Beck or any Of his associates to
come into Ormsby. The bill shows
that We left Reno out Of the proposed
change entirely. and would not have
the town in Ormsby il it were offered
us on Q platter.
Nor will We reply to Mr.. Beck by
telling the public what he is called in
Reno, as the courtesies Of debate be.
tween q newspaper and an honorable
gentlemen on the floor Of the House,
forbids such referance and such
argument would be both unfair and
illogical.
What we most desire to call Mr..
Beck's attention to however, is the re-
cord he made on the same proposition
in 1871. He was member of the
Legislature in that session and on the
23rd day Of February INTRODUCED As
sembly Bill 226, IAN act to amend an
act to create counties and establish
boundaries thereof" The bill pro-
vided that portion Of Washoe should

most the identical territory sought to
he added now to Ormsby.
Mr.. Beck worked hard for the bill
and on the 2Sth, day Of February he
passed it in the House by vote OF 26
TO 10 and on the roll call is the name OF
Mr.. Hogan, who also voted Tor It.
The bill went to the Senate and there
lacked but one vote of passage.
Thus we see Mr.. Beck in 1895 fight
ing a measure which he introduced
and strenuously supported in 1871.
Mr. Beck will no doubt admit this
record an true. 1t ia fact is true. but
not one whit truer than the statement
made in these column recently, that
Reno had for years attempted to steal
our public buildings. Yet this as
sertion which every taxpayer in Ne
yada knows to be fact, was denied
in open debate on the tiohr OF the
House by the Washoe delegation.
Mr. Beck to be consistent should
come out squarely to day and say :;
Gentlemen 1 favored annexing a
portion of Washoe to Ormsby in 1871
and I cannot consistently oppose
now"
