Tho motit peculiar sightseers are the spe cialists, who come to tbe newspaper offices uii'lt r the impression that a sort of local Cook's tourist business is curried on in them. They want to see the last things any one in tin world would expect to lie called for. ltecriit demands in one office were: One by u demure looking little woman, who had an insatiable desire for witnessing surgical clinics. She hud seen them in half the capi tals of Europe, and must see them here. ts!i did not care for the "dead house," though women often ask to lie taken to that. A man just in from London cu'.li-d for a list of collectors of bugs. The cily editor told him that the only etom .log'ical rhaisodist he know was Hairy Edwards, whereupon the Englishman pro duced a list of about thirty bug collectors with tho remark '"that he knew that was net one-tenth the whole number of eminent cd lectors in town." Another man came from New Orleans "to be taken among the choss players," another to investigate the tene ments, aiiofher to look through the coin tt.-l-lections.

Xo Siphon Lake Tahoe. S. It. Mathewson, an expert civil engineer, has been looking over the situation in.thss stale relating to practical irrigation of unre claimed land. Tho Reno Gazette reports him as saying that he believes there is enough water in Lake Tahoe to irrigate 1,000,000 acres, or all of the available land in western Nevada. But he doesn't believe in running a tunnel four or five miles to tap the lake, lie believes that the water can lie taken out of the lake with an iron siphon, and at ono twentieth of the expense. The siphon need not le more than a mile and a half long. The difference in tu elevation of Lake Taboe and Carson valley being somewhat more than 400 feet, tho power generated would to equal to not less than 00,000 horse power. This same principle could be applied ne t only to Carson valley, but to Truckee Mead ows, Mason valley and all other valleys la tho vicinity. By a series of cheek valve mo tions the water, could be taken out of the 6iphon anywhere between the highest point on the laki and the lowest in the valley. By the use of this enormous water pressure all kinds of manufacturing establishments couM be started, and the land of sand and sage brush might not only be made to bloom and blossom, but be covered with manufacturing; villages as in New England. Mr. Mathew son says it is only a question of timo when something of this kind will be done to re claim all our Nevada land. Virginia City Enterprise. A Bafe Reference. Lady Have you references?

Henry Ward IJeec tier's Pipes. The liberality of the Rev. Henry Ward Boechor's mind is illustrated by the follow ing: He never smoked tobacco himself, but of ien presented his friends with a pipe. He was always very particular in the choice of tho design, and tried to find one that would Buit tho profession cr taste of the recipient. For instance, for a lover of the turf he would buy a pipe with a race horse carved thereon, or for a friend w ho loved dogs, he would select a handsomely carved head of a Newfoundland or some other breed. He also had a great fancy for amber, that beautiful mineral so highly prized by smokers, and never failed buy n fine Secimen whenever he saw it. New York Evening Sun.

TI1E DREAD PLAGUE. COME OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ASIATIC CHOLERA. A New York riiynlrliaa Tell Where tit Danger I.les The Spread of the DImuc Hay lie Averted with Proper Care -In I860. "The first symptom of Asiatic cholera," says Dr. John C. Peters, "is mild diarrhoea, w ith or without vomiting. Tbe patient is likely to feel invigorated, as if purged by medicine, and many go about with little or no sign of sickness. In two or three days there is a violent explosion of tho disease. In a few Lours the patient may be in an almost helpless condition. In the early stages tbe putk'iit may attend to usual avocations, thus sowing or spreading the germs of the disease in many places. The germs are contained in the discharges from the stomach and bowels, and also probably from those of tbe kidneys. The possibilities and even tbe probabilities are that everything the patient handles will become contaminated and dangerous. A piece of bread handled or broken by such lerson and eaten by another will probably cause an attack, fruit, cake, anything in cholera times fruit and vegetables are gener ally considered dangerous, but only such are that have been handled by the afllicted per sons. "In 1806 I saw cases daily for many days and ate fruits and vegetables of all kinds, even cucumbers, and occasionally soft shell crabs. They were much less dangerous to me than a piece of bread or an apple touched by one of the patients. If I had contracted cholera, such a diet would have made it much worse and more dangerous. They could not produce cholera unless they were contamina ted by somebody diseased. I was very par ticular in keeping my hands clean. In 1S73 I carried my own towels in my pocket and would not use a basin in a house where there was a case of cholera. I had the water poured over my hands and wiped them with my own towels. "After the explosion of the disease the pa tient becomes very weak, and frequently goes into what is called collapse. The par tient is cold, almost pulseless, his features finchcd, tongue, nose and breath cold, and his hands, feet and fae probably blue. You can often tell a cholera patient many feet distant by the blue color of his skin. Singu larly enough, a proportion of the collapse cases recover, almost as many by mild treat ment as when the most energetic measures aie used. Dr. Smith's collapse cases at Swin burne Island seem to have donu remarkably, wll under hypodermic injections of brandy and u lit. cle carbolic acid mixed. The recov eries were quite astonishing, and as large in lioiort ion as by any other treatment. BTAMn.VG IT OUT. "There are mauy experienced men in the lo-.f.l board, like Drs. Janes, Day, Morris and fclh'-rs, who went through more than one epi (kmic. I think they served under Dr. Dal toa, who was president of the board of health in 1S0G. In that year 13,070 infected immi grants landed in Now York from twenty ei.;lit or more cholera ships, apon which 6W6 deaths had occurred at sea. Dr. Daltoa took control of every house is the city where cholera had entered, and raryly had. (l second c:;se aft. r the arrival of his inspectors, Fifty tcirsiaph stations were connected with the b: -filth eiiiee, and the whole police force aided the busy sanitary corps in giving the earliest inf-Tiu.-it io:i of suspicious cases. In less than two mouths tho wholo outbreak was stamped out and only lJot) deaths occurred. Previous to July 8 twenty-one cases of well marked cholera had terminated fatally. They oc curred in seventeen different streets, in eighteen different blocks and in nineteen dif ferent houses. The residences of the twenty o:ie fatal cases, together with ten other non fatal eases, were widely scattered over the city, and none of the thirty-one were discov ered to iia.o l)jion in any way dlec'tly ex-ixjj-ed to persons or things from quarantine or from the emigrant landing or depot. "Late in July, 1800, a tremendous outbreak of cholera occurred among IKK) workhouse people on Blaekwcll's Island. Dr. Frank H. Hamilton said he would stomp it out in ten days, and he did so. He drove all the in mates from their crowded rooms, ventilated and cleaned everything, improved the food, put guartls at tho closets to watch for any one who visited Ihem roorp thai) once a day, put cholera medicines jn the bands of trusty nnrses, and in a few days the epidemic was practically over, and in ten days all gons. But there were 173 deaths almost before Dr. Hamilton took charge. It was fearfully sud den. There were eight cases in seven days, and in two nights the inmates feH by the score. There are cases which came under my notice whpro a weaker person sickened and died before a strong person from whom tho disease was contracted showed any signs of it. New York Cor. Chicago Herald, Anecdote of Thaddeua Stevens. Someone asked Mr. Sherman about the particulars of the long contest for the speak ership of the house of representatives in 1S50 when ho was the Republican candidate. Mr. Sherman iave them, and then said: "I saw that I could not be elected and determined that some Republican should be. The house of representatives was divided politically into Republicans, Democrats and Americans. The Americans from the south refused to support me because I had recommended Helper's book a sort of Abolition pamphlet. I thought they would vote for Pennington, a Republican member from New Jersey, and found upon inquiry that they would do so. I therefore informed my friends that I was no longer a candidate, and asked them to vote foF Pennington. Two pf them for a time refused to give up my canvass. One of them was Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylva nia, "I watched the action of tho bolters anx iously, as tho election of Pennington depended upon their voting for him. However, both voted for him; t-jtovens in a very low tone of voice. When a vote was taken the next day in the houeo of representatives Stevens hod been ciubcrro?scd in his action by his state ment that he was 'going to vote for John Sherman till tho crack of doom.' Someone went up to him after he voted for Penning ton and said: 'See here, Stevens, I thought you v.xro going to vote for Sherman till the cre.tk of doom.' Stevens looked up -with a comical look and fiud. 'Well, I thought I heard it cracking.' " New York Tribune. I'owderly on His Muscle. General Master Workman Powderly is mild loolang and is gcr orally peacefully Inclined, lie doesn't permit any one to trample upon him, however. Powderly was a machinist. He was at work m a big machine shop at Serantcn, Pa., one day, when the superin tendent, who was also a member of the firm, insulted hiui grossly. The superintendent was a big man, much taller and heavier than Powderly. Tho latter 's muscles were in good shape, though. At one spring he reached tho superintendent's side. He grabbed his in sulter ly the cout collar and. that portion of Lis trousers technically known as thp slack, and throw him .artfully over and partially on top of n pila of iron. He was never after ward bothered by that superiut enden t. New Virv ... r.:. Fighting a Panther. Omaha Bee. Engineer James Markliam, of the H. & M., had a thrilling encounter with a pan tlier Sunday night between Mind en and Axtell. Mr. Markhain had a heavy freight train, and between the two places named some minor portions of the ma chinery got out of order and the train was stopped, lie and his fireman got out and were at work on both sWlcs of the locomotive. Just as they were com pleting the repairs, a terrible yell was heard, and before Mr. Markharn could turn, a large panther sprang upon him and buried his claws in the engineer's shoulder. The fireman came to the res cue and struck the brute over the head with a heavy wrench. This partially stunned the panther, who loosened his hold, but before cither hihu could take advantage of the situation he made a vicious leap for the fireman, burying one of his claws in the man's hip. Mr. Mark ham then pulled his revolver, and by a lucky shot hit the brute between the eyes. killing him instantly. Iioth men were badly hurt, and will be laid up for some time. The panther measared nearly six feet from his nose to the tip of his tail, and weighed about 200 pounds. Mr. Markharn lives near Hastings, to which city he was taken. This is the first panther killed in that vacinity for over two years. The pelt was sent to Omaha and will be given in to the hands of a taxidermist. Three Croyes.
