Not content with their own confusion of ideas on the subject they have been consulting "the best legal authority in the state" and the re sult is confusion worse confounded. The official acts of a defuclo officer are valid. This has never been disputed by any leal authority. The Hon. Thos. H. Wells is a te facto Judge; nobody will dispute thut. Therefore his offi. cial acts a such are valid. The above is simple, brief, and plain, and may therefore be objectionable to some who affect to think that nothing straight forward and honest can be strict ly legsl. They are the gentlemen who prove beyond question thavo ajid two do not nmke fout; that water runs up hill of its own accord; or that, generally speaking, "whatever is, is wrong." They succeed in eliciting the admiration of fools, the yawp of the empty-headed is a song of praise to them; yet notwith standing their crushing criticisms the world goes right along without a bobble and the price of silver continues to rise. BI LLION TAXES. Simultaneously with the rise in the price of silver comes the first announce ment of a considerable bullion tax paid by Pioche mines for some years. The Key Group of mines which paid this tax, have been continuously worked for the past eleven years. The present owner has continued their development on a limited scale, but steadily, for six years, putting into the work many thousands of dollars in hard cash. May he get more than even, is the wish of the Kucoril). ALL HONOR TO THEM. To Senator Jones is, says the Haw thorne Bulletin, due the honor and credit of the passage of the silver bill more than to any other one man, and while wedded to free coinage he con sented to temporarily yield his demand, by the acceptance of the next best thing. The bill does not stand in the way of free coinage, but thus far has had the effect of refuting the assertions of the gold men and demonstrating the truth of I the arguments of the Nevada Senators and member of Congress. As the proof of the pudding is in eating it, so also has the truth of the arguments cf the advo cates of silver been shown by the actual state of the silver and agricultural mar ket. As goes silver, so goes the price of produce. The gratitude of the people, goldites excepted, goes out to Nevada's .Senators and Congress man in greater meaauro than to all others, while Nevada ns exclaim, "Well done, thou good and faithful servants." At a joint meeting of the Modesto and Turlock Irrigation Directors, held Sat urday last at Modesto, it was decided to build a joint dam ninety feet high in the Tuolumne river, 1800 feet above the Whcatnn dam, for the use of both die trivia. Litigation with M. A. Wheaton was compromised by the payment of $3.1,000, the Turlock District paying $32,500 and the Modesto District $2,500. . r. rosi: .luage shatter has given his written findings of facts and ju ment in the celebrated case of Sharon vs. Sharon. His findings of fact and decis ion are brief and plain. He finds Mrs, lerry never was the wife of the late William Sharon, and therefore is not eu titled to any interest in the estate whicl he left. The great water suit of P. N. Marker and others against J. W. Yowell and 540 other defenpants, was dismissed in the District Court at Winnemucca the other day the act under which the suit was brought having lieen declared unconsti tutiocal. I he Orleans (N. Y.)

It is believed that the Secre tary is on a very important mission that of examining into the condition of the Northwest coast defenses, owing to the Behring Sea complications. A man in Portland, t Wash, i cently swallowed a leech while drinking from a hose. It took hold at once and for some days nothing could dislodge its hold. An old army surgeon was consult' ed who settled the case effectually. He put the patient to bed and kept him full of whisky for three days, when the leech got soaked and let go its grasp. The third annual session of the Grand Council of the Catholic Ladies' Aid So' ciety convened at Santa Cruz Monday. The Secretary's report showed 2,071 charitable visits recorded.

Some of the heaviest Mexican capital ists have organized a company to pur chase and work the Cerro Colorado gold mine in Chihuahua, and in the Bacto pella Batopila mining district.

While working on the southern exten sion oi the U. r, Hallway system near Clover Valley, in this (Lincoln) County aliout the 1st. of this month I observed a very large hard swelling on the leg of one of my horses. It was apparently caused by a kick from another animal. Five or six applications of Trib in the course of two days completely cured the swelling, I and the horse is as ''good as new," The remainder of the "0 cent bottle was used successfully hy a number of railroad workers to cure sore arms, sprained mus cles, etc, until it did fifty dollars worth of good.

If a lamp wick is trimmed by shears, cutting it across just below the charred part, one end will almost certainly be left higher than the other. In such a case the wick cannot be turned up euough to give much light, because the higher end of it will begin to smoke befpr tim re mainder of it gives out one quarter of the light which it should. If the wick is cut straight across the flame will be irregular. This kind of a flame is caused by inequal ities of combustion at the sides and encs of the wick. To cut a wick exactly square across is almost impossible, even if it were bait; and a flame with a low cec ter and a tall, flariog, smoky horn on each end is bad flame. It is bad for the lamp chimneys and for the eyes. No lamp which has such a flame is properly trimmed.. If one tries to avoid the hor ned flame by rounding off the ends of the wick, an imperfect flame will result. This flame may not crack chimneys, but it will not give out light. It shows an qonest attempt to trim the lamp properly but an unsuccessful one. To secure a good flame, the lamptrimmer should be instructed to turn the wick up until about one-eight of an inch projects above the brass sheath. Next, let him take off the charred portion. Let this be done with the forefinger and thumb. Cutting with shears, besides the mis chiefs already set forth, will take off more than is necessary. Rubbing off the charred portion with the back of a knife, or a blunt edge of any kind, will generally leave fibers, which will cause an uneven light. With the finger and thumb just enough can be taken off, and taken off smoothly. All that will not easily break off is good, sound wick, no matter how black it may be. After pinching off the burned portion of the wick, take just as little off the corners of it as a sharp pair of shears will take hold of and cut. Theca-is always more danger that too much will be taken off than too little. But if just the right quanity is removed, and the cuts on the corners are made at the same angle, the lamps will give out a broad, white flame. To trim a new wick, turn the wick down until the loose and unraveled end projects from the brass sheath, and light it before the oil fills it. It will quicklp burn down to the sheath, leaving a straight edge, and can then be trimmed as directed above. The end can as well be burned down to the sheath before the wick, if put into the oil. Scientific Press. A JUMPING OKA S. The Strange and Biddei Lies Behind It -Caraon raised. i Force Til at Gravely Ki Carson Appeal: An Appeal reporter was shown a peculiar bean in the Arling ton House "lobby" last night that would surprise many white men and completely drive an Indian's brain through the top of his hat. It was about the size of a large pea, and of a dirt color on one side with a light green formation on the other, in the center of which was a brown spot, showing that it had been broken off of a similar formation. The peculiarity is this: When placed in the palm of either hand it begins to struggle and roll, as if prompted to get off, and finally begins to jump until it succeeds in doing so. When taken between the thumb and forefinger a perceptive throbbing can be felt inside, and it can even be heard when placed close to the ear. It operates in the hands of some people better than in others, but if given a moment or two it will work for any one, It was in the possession of Harry Haight, a commercial tourist from San Francisco, who claims that it gets on a regular tear if placed on the hand of a drinking man. As a test it was tried on a "well-known and respected citizen" happening along at that time, and the moment it struck his hand there was a slight tremor from east to wept, as if it was gathering its energies. All of sudden it cave a Hiu and landed by the Chinese laundary across the street. It if) known as the Mexican jumping bean, and the strange motive power cn not be accounted for.
