Wizardry Of WoIseiey.

w tAoI ~ ~ VvSsO~SJ
The loss of an eye years ago once
stood Lord Wolseley in good stead. 1t
seemed impossible to get any informa-
ton Of the enemy's strength and the
forces under the command Of Arab
Pasha. At length an Arab was caught
near one Of the outposts. Naturally ex-
pecting that he would be able to give
a good deal of information, he was
taken before Lord Wolseley, who ques-
toned him. The man, however, refus-
ed to speak.
ut is no use your refusing to an
swer me-" he said to the man. II am
a wizard, and at a single word I can
destroy you and your masters. To
prove this to you l will take out my
eye, throw it up in the air, catch it,
and put 1t back into my head"
Suiting the action to the word, Lord
Wolseley removed his glass eye, threw
it into the air, caught It, and put It
back again into the empty socket. That
! demonstration was sufficient to convert
the Arab. He capitulated without fur
Their demur, and the information he
gave led to Arabs defeat.

DIRECT VOTE FOB
UNITED STATES sENATo1

For the first time in the history Of
Nevada the people will, by virtue Of
an agreement now existing between
the Republican and Democratic parties,
vote direct for United States senator
and their choice will be ratified by the
joint session Of the legislature. The
agreement provides that the names Of
Newlands and Flanagan will appear on
the ballots and the state convention Of
each party has solemnly pledged ito
legislative nominees to vote for the
one receiving the largest number Of
votes, irrespective of party. The peo-
pie will, therefore, choose the senator
and the legislature at the joint session
of the two houses will simply ratify the
choice.
The plan is legally in operation in
Oregon and something similar is pro.
vided by the statutes Of Illinois, Miss
issippi and n or more of the other
states.

Short Circulars for WALKING.

Though the long skirt is had has
been for a year past the fashionable
skirt, considered from the viewpoint
OF the woman who usually goes about
In carriage and also in the opinion
of her sister who walks more frequent.
ly than she rides, It is not a suitable
skirt for shopping or long journeys.
Moreover the American winter is not
one to which the practice of wearing
long skirt for walking purposes is
well adapted. and while the majority
OF the fair sex intend to keep abreast
OF the clinging effects demanded by
the fashions of the hour the majority
will be content to wear them I'm a
modified form. Hence the short, cir.
cular skirt will undoubtedly be the
popular walking skirt of the autumn
and winter. No woman or tailor can
truthfully predict at this moment what
the spring will bring forth.
