Dosste, of North Bloomfield, was at the county seat yesterday talking politics and things with his numerous friends down this way.

Tho Truckee Republican says: “Mr. Lonkey, it is said, is in trouble about cutting timber on government land. This is *but the beginpving of other cases that will be brought to the courts. The boycott is pronounced by some as being unlawful. Perhaps the appropriating of timber upon lands that belong to the government may be unlawful. Let the law go on.” Hundreds of sections of public land in various parts of the county have been unlawfully stripped of the timber that once ornamented them, but in. many cases the offenders will yet be brought to account for doing it. a Sunday’s Races. Quite a large number of people went to Glenbrook Park Sunday to see the horse races, of which there were twoand both of them interesting. One event was the best twoin three mile trot between Dan Baker’s and Wm, Cole’s animals. Cole’s won, the first heat in 3:11. Baker’s took the next two heats and the race in 3:61 and 3:3.

The mind-reading portion of the entertainment was marvelous, giving the utmost satisfaction to the audience. The second part of the program was as well executed as by any mediums that have been here in years. There is a general desire on the part of thepublic to have Mr. .

Finely Illustrated. Frank Leslie’s Sunday Magazine for June, 1886, is especially noticeable for its numerous illustrations, some of which are exceptionaliy beautiful. The Luray Cave, in Page county, Va., is the subject of several fine cuts. A beautiful picture is a reproduction of a painting by Augustin Lhardy, entitled ‘‘Preparations for a Day in the Country”’ ; and a numter-of contrasted scenes on the two rivers, the Rhine and the Hudson, give some idea of the beauty of these two famous’ streams. An antiquarian interest attaches to the article on the first edition of the ‘‘Pilgrim’s Progress,” with reproduction of its quaint engravings and a facsimile of the text. A beautiful reproduction of one of Giacomelli’s bird pictures shows the helmet-crested humming-bird and its nest. Many other beautiful pictures fill the number, while the literary portion is up to the high level of this favorite. family magazine. Published by Mrs, Frank Leslie, 53, 55 and 57 Park Place, New York. Don’t Believe It. The Sacramento Record-Union of Saturday says: ‘‘The Italian laborers sent to Truckee to replace the Chinese in handling wood, are not having a very pleasant time, as for some reason the other laborers there refuse to work with them, and are reported to be to somé extent anti-Italian as: well as anti-Chinese.” o Piano Tuning..

Louttit quietly remarked, ‘‘That’s the size of it.” The fact is that Louttit was born ina stable at New Orleans. He is a self-made man. He is of medium stature, but powerfully built. The muscles of his arms stand out in great. cords, and are asfirmasa club. He gained a vote in a peculiar way in his race for Congress. There was a blacksmith in the upper part of the district who sneered ‘at the idea of the lawyer candidate. having ‘served at the trade.’”’? He thought it was a political trick. When Louttit got to the blacksmith’s town he walked down to the shop, and, without saying who he was, pulled off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and went to work with the bighammer. The blacksmith had heard the candidate was coming, but stood back and watched the performance in astonishment. After Louttit had got in some of his est licks,” the blacksmith walked over and felt of his powerful arm. Fully satisfied, he walked back to the forge, saying, “It’s all right; that gets my vote.”’ oo——_—sh Louis Dean, a Roop county, Nev., stock grower, has succeeded in capturing 70 head of wild horses which have been, running in the mountains for many years, and which are the descendants of some fine stock turned out in that country by Hon.
