THE L County Time

THE LION Couaty Times maintains
that poll taxes for 1897 must be paid
this year and that the poll tax due
next year must be paid at that time
IN other words, that a person cannot
pay the two years poll tax in 1898.
From our reading of the law of 1897
we must differ with the Times. The
law plainly says that, III the appli-
CAN'T for registration has not paid his
poll tag, or POLL TAXES, il Shall be
lawful for him to pay them to the
Registry Agent, aud receive the re-
ceipt therefor, This poll tax law is
no doubt intended as a prerequisite
to the right TO vote, and if the Reg
istry Agent is authorized to issue two
1ars receipts to man, surely that
man is entitled to vote. OF oourse
tie law is the result of shrewd DO
iitical trick, and the Silver Party
legislators who voted for it should
put their little heads ia brine, but,
nevertheless, it is the law,

A HEBREW COLONY
Will Settj, in Lyon County Dur
inc the Present Month.

Inc HTSb SucctSStui dbteulpb W 1Oi-
onzing the lands of Nevada was
consummatcd in San Francisco last
week. For some time NJ. Conn and
T. r. Hofer OF Carson have been
working on pan 70 get large
pumber OF families 20 come to Neva
da and settle on the Wymore ranch,
which they proposed to cut up into
small places that could be titled by a
small family, says the Carson News.
Recently n Hebrew colonist wrote to
Governor Sadler, asking what the
outlook was in Nevada, aud COIN
and Hofer grasped the opportunity
and were soon in communication with
the colonists. The details were com
peted last week and signatures of II
families were secured There will,
however, be two or three more before
tley arrive, and in al the party will
consist of about $50 people.
These people will arrive in Nevada
n KIT month. 1t is the intention of
the colonists to plant 400 acres in
grain this year yet, and until 1898
has become firmly established on the
calendar the place will be run to a
certain extent the Incorporation pa
pers being already filed
The property consists of $500 acres
of the finest land ia this section of
Nevada, about 900 acres Of which are
under cultivation, with all the water
that ever could be wanted and some
good buildings, and the colonists will
at once commence the erection of res
flences.
The land is near the town of Well
ington, in Lyon county. Great guam
titles of fruit are now raised or the
land, and the colonists will pay con
siderable attention to this industry.
While the terms given the colony
are not made public, it is understood
they are liberal. The people who are
coming to be citizens of Nevada are
from Tulare and Contra Costa coun-
ties, where they have kept up the
fight for living several years with
Indifferent success. Most of them
had to pay 800 an acre for the land
and this sum is prohibitive for the
man who has to borrow money. Wa
ter has been scarce with them and
crops were failure.
Some of the difficulties encoun-
tered by the Carson men in endesv-
oring to induce California people to
locate in this State were aggravat-
ing. The general idea seemed to be
fiat Nevada was nothing but alkali
and sand. They thought that fruit
and grain wore brought in from some
outside source and simply labeled
here. One man asked if it was true
that we had 90 feet of snow here in
the Winter? Such questions were
asked by intelligent men, and they
will find in N evada hearty welcome,
rich soil, and q climate unsurpassed.
This is really the best news the
State has had for some time, for it
needs but start TO turn the tide of
immigration this way, and popula-
tion is the one essential thing for our
future welfare

place, if | state here, that long before
the expedition arrived at Jamaica, an
error, the fatal effects of which were
felt in all our future operations, had
been committed. Though the point of
attack was kept a profound secret from
the troops, there was hardly coffee
house i'll Kingston in which the views
of the English government were not
openly discussed,--not as a subject Of
conjecture, but as 4 truth, of which no
doubt could be entertained. How this
matter first got abroad, various rumors
have been in circulation; but | believe
the truth to be as follows. The con-
quest of New Orleans was from the first
the grand object, for the attainment of
which our expedition was fitted out.
The capture Of Burlington, and the
landing at Baltimore, with the whole
series Of operations in the Chesapeake,
were undertaken simply as blinds, to
divert the attention of the American
government from the district really
threatened; and so anxious were min
listers to effect this, and that though a
general rendezvous, at Jamaica, of the
invading army, had been long planned
out, not hint of the matter was drop
ped to the naval officer commanding
there, till the forces, both from Eng
land and the Potomac, were ready to
set sail. 1t happily occurred, however,
that in the interval, the Admiral ON
the Jamaica station died, and the dis
patches designed for him put into the
hands Of the senior captain. That
gentleman, with singular absence of
all common prudence, opened these
dispatches in the presence of Jew
merchant; and, like a perfect simple
ton, informed him of their contents.
An opportunity so favorable Of earning
a rich reward, the son of Israel could
not permit to pass. He fitted out
fast sailing schooner without delay, and
dispatched them to the enemy. Nor
was he satisfied with this. The pro-
jected inroad became, through his in
strumentality, a matter of universal
discussion; and the American governor
OF Florida learned, from a thousand
different quarters, that he was in dam
ger. The information was not wasted
upon him. He set himself instantly
to work, raising men, planning out for
tifications, laying in stores, and making
other preparations to receive us; and
so diligent was he in the prosecution
of his task, that the means of defense
got together, were such as we found
ourselves quite unable to overcome.
The name of the naval officer to whose
womanish garrulity SO much mischief
is attributable, l do not choose to re-
cord; but the fact itselfis too generally
known to make me at all scrupulous
about repeating it. But l will not
break through my established rule, by
entering, even lightly, into the politics
Of the war; let me rather go OH at once
with my own personal narrative.

THE LAKE OF DEATH.
MYSTERY WHICH SURROUNDS TANGAN-
YIKI AND ITS INHABITANTS.
NO 80

The wanders of Africa would seem
to be without limit, according to the
reports of J. f. S. Moore, who has
been viewing some Of them, says the
Chicago Times-Herald. Mr.. Moore's
statements are backed by the Royal
Geographical Society, who sent him to
the dark continent. The results of his
researches border on the marvellous.
The scenes he witnessed are thrilling
in the extreme.
Mr.. Moore's object in visiting Africa
was to study the various normal Or
ganisms that had been found to exist
in that famous but mysterious lake
known to natives and Europeans as
Tanganyika. Not only has Mr.. Moore
found all that he sought, but so much
besides that the biologists and geolo-
gists are enthusiastic ever his discov-
cries.
Mr.. Moore, after pcrilous journey
ing, gained sight of that lake which
only SIX Europeans have ever looked
upon-Lake Rukwa. 1t was only
from distance that he saw it, to be
sure, but that was a good deal in it.
self, for only two Europeans ever
reached the shore and none have ever
foated upon its waters. OF all the
African lakes which are known to ci-
vilization, there is none SO surrounded
by mystery as Rukwa. Fatality seems
to attach to it, SO far as Europeans are
concerned, and the natives look upon
Il white man who strive; to reach it as
u foolish mortal, bent upon suicide.
Mr.. Moore has much the same idea
and gained entire satisfaction by view
ing the lake in perspective.
1t vas in Lake Tanganyika that Mr..
Moore made his most remarkable d.
coveries and incidentally solved what
has been mystery, and Il fearful one,
to both African and European. The
tradition in that section of Africa
which surrounds Tanganyika has
many tales of the prowess Of a gigan-
tic fish which would rush at the paddles
of canoe, drag them from the hands
of the wielders thereof, upset the ca
noe and by mere contact kill the strug
CLING humans who were cast into the
water.
For once modern experience verified
ancient tradition. Mr. Moore learned
that not only did this great fish exist,
but that it performed exactly those
deeds with which it was credited. The
solution OF the mystery is simple. The
big fish is an electric one. In smaller
form it is common in the South Amer
lean rivers, where swimmers hold it in
mortal terror. The African specimen,
however, is of Brobdingnagian proper
tions, and darts through the water at
terrific rate. The source of electric
ity, for electricity it certainly contains
seems to be in cells in the skin. These
give forth sufficient amount of elec-
trio fluid to stun a human being, pro-
vided the contact with the fish is at
all forcible or with any considerable
portion of the surface of the body.
From the great danger which is en-
tailed by cruising about in the vicini-
ty of such fish, it has been found i'm.
possible to catch a specimen, and the
knowledge which as been gained con.
cerning the fish is derived from one
that was cast upon the shore of the
lake by the waves that never cease
rolling.

VOYAGE FROM THE CHESAPEAKE TO
But besides taking part with my
comrades in these different pursuits, it
was a common custom with me to spend
whole days on shore, either seeking for
game in the woods, or loiterine about
the banks Of the river with my fishing
rod. No man who has not experienced
the irksomeness of a four months con-
finement on board 4 ship, can at all
comprehend the degree of qualification
which these solitary excursions afford
ed. On such occasions, the air always
appeared to blow with peculiar sweet
ness, and the noises produced by things
animate and inanimate about me were
all most musical. Every branch over
head was alive with birds, which made
the forest ring with their clear and va
ried notes; whilst the rustling breeze
through the foliage, the murmur the
large stream, broken in upon and varied
from time to time 10y the indistinct
cries Of the seamen, created altogether
harmony more exquisite than any
other to which the human ear can list
en-. Towards nightfall, in particular,
these sounds came upon me with pecu-
liar force Nor were the bleating of
sheep, or the lowing of cattle, which
met me as often as | ventured to any
distance from the boats, thrown away
| am not sure that l ever spent days
more perfectly to my own satisfaction
than those which were passed in soil
tude upon the banks of the Potomac.
Things continued thus with us dur
ing several weeks, the bocts rowing
daily to the beach, and bringing off
stores Of fresh water from wells which
had been dug there, and the horses
and some part of the artillery being
landed on an island in the river. But
at last signal was made for all parties
to repair to their respective vessels;
and on the evening of the 9th of Octo-
ber, the whole expedition was again
embarked. On the morning of the 7th
the anchors were raised, and Il fair
wind happening to blow, we stood in
magnificent array towards the Chesa-
peake. Having fairly entered it, Il
pause was made for the night; but on
the morrow we were again under sail,
with prows turned towards the capes,
and before dusk we had the satisfac-
tion to observe the mouth of the
James river open to our starboard
bow. Nor was this the only or the
most agreeable event which betcll us
that day. \ beautiful schooner, car
rying white flag at her main-topmast
head, shot after us from the Patuxent;
she overlook us just as we were pre-.
pairing to bring up for the night, and
great was the joy Of every man on
board when it appeared that she was
the bearer of the majority of the men
and officers who had been left behind
wounded at B|adensburg. Among the
individuals thus restored to the army
were Colonels Thornton and Wood,
