Great Tasks.
The present administration has
some big jobs on hand. It must
-suppress polygamy; the star route
fellows must. be. punished; the
South American muddle must, be
disposed of; the fuss with the Eu
ropean powers atid the rest of
mankind over Lesseps canal
scheme must be fixed up; the riv
al stalwart leaders" must be given
inei "tnacnine must must nave
all the bearings oiled; and while
all this is being done, people that
know all about how it should be
done, must be listened to. The
hardest task is ' to effectually sit
down on Blaine. That's a job
that must be sub let.
TnE dividends from the Nevada
mines for 1881 were $1,194,000,
while the assessments amounted to
$3,039,000. The gross yield of the
state were 89,505,000 for the year.
The small dividend took one-ninth
of this amount. The expense ab
sorbed all the rest, and also the
large assessments upon tbo un
fortunate stockholders.
.-It is reported that among .re
cent archaeological researches in
Egypt a statue of Potiphar's wife
has-been exhumed. It is further
stated, .simply as an opinion, that
if the the.statuc at all resembles
the original, Joseph was perfectly
justified in his action.
