The defense also held that from r.he fact that the prosecution failed to prove that the accused voted for a member of Con stress in 1S7j, the United States Circuit Court was without any jurisdiction in the matter. These points were argued by Gen. Clark and Jonas Seely for the defense, and United States District Attorney Varian for the prosecution, until 5 o'clock in the evening. The court then reserved its decision until 7 o'clock. TEE RILINU OF THE COURT. On opening the session in the evening the Court remarked that, it had not taken the pains to review all the points raised by the I defense from the fact that they had been suf ficiently argued and disposed of during the trial. On all points in which the Court was in doubt, as much care as the time would per mit had been occupied. The Court held that the prosecution after making a negative state ment, the support of the allegation by any shadow of testimony was legally held to cast the burden of proof upon the defendant. The defense in all such cases as the present one must prove that it had been registered and was legally entitled to vote in the United States. It would be absurd to hold anything less. The defense had failed to produce any such proof. The m.ttion for new trial was therefore denied. On motion for an arrest of Daggett incidentally remarked that hedespised " Say, Hank, did you see Biil at. Carson ? ' " Saw-him-this morning," drawled Monk " Did he say he was comin' up soon ? " Said he'd be up to-morrow." Sure ?" " Sure ! " They went up the hi'l, when Hank said . " Wonder what Bill that feller meant ? " " What Bill did you tnen?" asked a pas sender. " Way-bill," qnoth Monk. AS A FAMILY DISTURBER Hank ranks high. One day, seeing a lady leaning over a front gate, whose husband he knew to be at the Like, ke walked over and the following conversation took place : " When did yon git dewu from the Lake 1" " I haven't been there this Beason." " Why, I thought sure I saw you yesterday afternoon, rilin' out with your husband. Guess 'twas some other woman." In less than half an hour the wernan was on her way to the Like in a private conveyance to overhaul her lord. There was an awful row, and she finally found that Hank had given her one of his dreadful " joshes." He has played this little joke on half a dtizen women in Carson and on two occasions there came very uear being divorce suits. Hank talks with such au air of seriousness that the most suspicious can not doubt him. BIS JOSE ON MRS. DAGGETT.

Burke, Jr., Recorder of Mammoth Mining District, is in the city. He speaks in the highest terms of the district, and thinks when Spring opens it will boom. Tue Cakson Reform Ci.rn. There was a very interesting entertainment given at Moore t Parkor's hail last evening by the judgment the Court held that it had strictly followed the law in refusing to admit the tes timony of the accused as to his registration, as the law is explicit in requiring a certified copy of a registration as the only proof al lowed to show a naturalization. As far as the jurisdiction of the Court was concerned the law had made a special provision for such eases. It also held that any illegal vote deposited on a day of election in which a member of Congress may be elected is sufficient to con- ' stitute an offense against the United States j Government. The record of the poll book ! showed that the defendant had cast a vote on B;ich a day. The motion for arrest of judg ment was overruled. THE SEXTtXCS. The defendant was then ordered to stand up and receive his sentence. Mr. Parkinson here rose to his feet and stood leaning back upon his cane. The court 'then addressed him : You have been charged with two offcusi s false legist ratin and ilieg.-J voting. Y. have been granted every indulgence by th court, and yon have had ample time to pre pare your defense. Yoti have been couvietei by a jury which you accepted to try the case Have you anj-thirsg to say why sentence should not be passed. Mr. Parkinson I have much to say, bu don't propose to say it.

He has done his whole duty as required by law. Mr. Parkinson here sprang up and remarked, "Judge, for God sake spare me and sentence me ; don't lecture me this way, but sentence me at once. " Here the defendant walked up and down the room terribly agitated for several minutes, producing quite a sensation in the court. The (Mark Twain) S. J. H jdokinson.

You see the horses know the second a greenhorn gits hold, and they're liable to jump clean over the flume in a holy minute. Don't tell any body I let you drive, I'd git discharged the same day. Grant promised secrecy, hardly realizing that if Hank should leave the company an in- digt. ation meeting would result in Carson itu mediately. REFUSED TO DRINK. One day when asked to drink at the top of the grade he replied with a fine show of sup pressed indignation : " I don't drink, s.r." A few minutes later he was in the saloon surrounding a good horn. " Thought jou didn't drink." " I'm drickiu' to keep my mad down." OF FIGS : hvil r'in if t 1 a first, R fcnuse it h u tik"; vMwi.
