TLUMS AND COTTON -HALLS.
Nest to a snru-euoiifjh watch and chain in
importance and self satisfaction to a boy is his
first black uyo. There is something about its
history and possession which rises above the
humble level of warts and gum boils and places
it in near relationship to the distinguishing
and all absorbing eminence of a dislocated toe
or a broken arm actually carried in a sling.
There is a glory about it; and its possessor has
the right to take upon himself the airs and
attitudes of the heroicals. He is as one who
has returnod with honorable scars from the
perilous edze of battle. We have known a
sporadic case of the rheumatics to confer some
thing of this exacting honor of invalidity upon
doserring boy. Hut a black eye is of the
legitimate laurels of renown. A boy is no
longor to be suspected of being girlish or milk
soppy, once he is thus adorned. It is the
next best thing to a mustache Well, after
all, it U an ill wind that blows nobody any
ood. Yesterday we were lamenting the dam
age done to our fruit trees by the gale of the
d.-iy and night before; but when we come to
mv with what an impartial hand the balls
have been stripped from the cotton-wood trees,
our sense of bereavement is mollified and we
begirt to feel a new trustfulness in the wisdom
and ways of Providence. For it is cotton
wood balls that breed cotton; and when Cot
tonwood cotton gets to floating about the air
we begin to feel like yielding to the too gen
eral prejudice against that quick growing and
handsome shade tree. It is all vory well to
maintain a high and magnificent contempt for
the Cottonwood, and talk loftily of the elm
and the inaplo, the black walnut and the box
elder; but where would have been our shaded
walks and our abundant verdure if, instead of I
availing ourselves of what is hardiest we had
chosen to be treeless until our streets and
door-yards had come to be flecked with the
choicer shadings of these more slowly growing
natives of the forests of the far, unsympathis
ing East 1 Let's stick to the sharers of our
earlier hardships and disadvantages. Mean
time if we would plant the cleaner but tender
locust, the slow-growing elm or the maple, let
us do so decently; remembering that it is far
easier to forfeit old friendships than to gain
new ones. There is as much reliable friend
ship in a tree that takes kindly to the climate
and grows green in spite of wind and weather
as thero is in some of the more pretentious
growths of this world of wars, women and
whimsevs. . . .Here and there a vagrant flight
of snow-flakes yesterday reminded us of the
nearness of the surly Sierra. Somehow we
seem to carry on our small husbandries here
subject to the constant risk of such visitations
of snow and ice as are said to be a standing
menace to the dwellers uuder the shadow of
the Alps. Agriculture and the raising of fruit
are surely carried on in these altitudes at what
the mercantiles know as the ''owners risk."
But we do hope not very hopefully, but as a
matter of prayerful duty that the threatened
''black frost " of whoso coming we seem to be
warned by these fleecy harbingers may be in
definitely postponed. Hut the temperature
of the early morning is that of "a nipping and
an eager air." If, however, we get cleverly
over the center, as it were, weathering tho
weather, may wo not look for larger and more
abundant crops than in any previous year
since Nevada became a State? In his in
structive and reassuring article in the North
American Review, Ralph Waldo Emerson
says: "In ignorant ages it was common to
vaunt tho human superiority by underrating
the instinct of other animals; but a better
discernment finds that the difference is only
of less and more. Experiment shows that the I
bird and the dog reason as the hunter does,
that all the animals show the same good sense
in their humble walk that the man who is their
enemy or friend does; and if it be in smaller
measure, yet it is not diminished, as his often
is, by freak and folly." Verily do we behevo
what the great and good philosopher thus
hints at. We do believe that those two dojjs
which make such a racket whenover any
stranger comes within the gates have their
small supply of reason. Else why do they
como to the door instead of trying to gain en
tsance to tho honso through its walls; and
why doth that small, guilty looking, wiry,
horrid dog tuck his tail under his body and
shy off when yon mother-hen bristles up at
him? The rogue! When his master or mistress
is not nigh he is as bold as a lion in presence
of that hen, and will disputo with her the path
or scramble with her for scraps of bread and
meat. But ho knows his conscience tells
him that any annoyance on his part toward
that hen and her brood will not be tolerated
by the powers that be; and so ho affects a hu
mility and pretends to a terror which are not
native to him. This argues, nay it shows,
reason and design tho reason of the prevari
cator and the design of the uncandid. We
are acquainted with a canary-bird who is one
of the self-made individuals of our times! He
has been provided with a toy bell inside of
his cago. Nobody told him it was a bell or
that it would ring; and yet he rings it with as
much regularity and skill as if he had the ed
ucation of a collegiate. He comes almost up
to the standard of our lamented friend, Mr.
James Dealey's Australian magpie. That ex
traordinary and most gifted bird, second only
to Barnaby Rudge's Raven, knew this writer
as well as he knew his own voice. That ho
met us with a tone and note of defiant raillery
it not ot uetracnon is not me puim. iiui
we maintain is his intelligence, his reason.
We always suspected that he drank to excess
and on the sly. It is our theory (he is dead
and gone and leaves no relatives whose feel
ings may be hurt by the discussion), that he
used to help himself out of the uncorked bot
tles in the morning while the Chinaman was
setting tho bar to rights. Possibly he and
the Mongol being neighbors, as it were, un
derstand th'n matutinal dissipation and mutu
ally winked at it. At all events, we have
reason to believe that Mag would never have
got into that fatal mortar-bed if he had n't
been indulging too freely in the cup which in
itiates. And the very fact that he did drink,
taking Byron's theory, establishes the indub
itability of his reflective powers. Says his
Lordship: "Man being a reasoning creature
must get drunk." If this deduction be true,
then, the magpie, having got drunk must
have been a reasoning creature. The logi
cians have set terms in which they 1 ecogni.e
the legitimacy of this method of dealim; with
analagous propositions .... We note that Joe
Jefferson the incomparable actor has arrived
m San Francisco from the East. Is it too
much to hope that he will visit Carson before
he leaves the Pacific Coast ?
"THE WONDERS OF NEVADA."
CHIPS
No letter mail reached here yesterday
from the California side. It's clear that
'somebody '8 blundered." Just where to
place the blame for this bit of negligence, for
such it is, is what puzzles us. Wish we knew,
for then we might ease a troubled mind by
unloading a choice lot of denunciation on the
head of the true malefactor. Are almost dos-
erate enough to address a few lines, full of
the tenderest of gusli peculiar to the Era of
Good Feeling, to Daddy Key
Since the writing of the above we have
earned that the Carson letter pouch wa3 car
ried past this place, and was returned by the
10 o'clock local train from Virginia. No more
of this, Mr. Route Agent, if you please.
Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Cordis, who spent sev
eral months of the present year in Carson,
are sight-seeing in California. They have
just done the Ca.lav.int8 Big Trees, and at
present are at Yosemite.
The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of Ne
vada will meet at Virginia City on the 4ih
pros. We append a list of delegates from
Carson, in response to a links-eyed friend,
whose Odd Fellowship evidently needs
lightening up, as h" said he had forgotten
who the delegates were. From Carson Lodge
No. '-'0: P. Muleahy, George Tuny, M. L.
Greenlaw , Jacob Mulier, H. H. Bonce, Eu
gene Pier-e, Thos. YVtlls, J. L. Beam, Alex
Leport. From Capital Lodge No. Geo. W.
Bryant, M. W. Starling, D. G. Kitzineyer, J
H. Martin, V. T. Koeler.
Gov. Bradley went up to Virginia City yes
terday, "just to see de boys, my sou."
Three passengers yesterday by tho Aurora
stage, one for Bodie and two for Aurora.
Just by way of weather variety we had
some Know yesterday. As a real snow storm
it wiia a melancholy failure, an abortive at
tempt, as it were. But as an opportunity to
anathematize the numerous author of "The
Beautiful Snow" it was glorious. And how
we enjoyed it! By the way, another claimant
to the authorship of this abomination turned
up recently. He was a tramp, was beating
his way over the Central Pacific, and was
nearly killed. He lives, however, to repent
his claim. But of the weather: The wind
was blowing nearly all of yesterday dismally,
putting the most amiable in ugly humor,
parching up vegetation, and behaving gener
ally in a reprehensible manner.
Glass ball shooting promises to be a pop
ular amusement in Carson. Some of our
shot gun sports have recently laid in a supply
of glass balls, a trap has been made, and
practicing in this fashionable style of shooting
will now be introduced here. We suspect that
the Carson boys are preparing for a season of
rehearsals to be ready for a grand match on
or about July 4th.
There is evidently a scarcity of flowers in
Sacramento now, for some parties here sent
an order down there, the other day, and an
answer by telegraph came to this effect "Not
a flower to be had in Sacrameuto." Memorial
Day has undoubtedly exhausted the stocks of
the floral establishments there.
Monday's storm at Lake Bigler was the
hardest known there for years. No damage,
however, reported to property as far as we
have been able to learn. The Lake was so
rough that it was found impossible to tow
logs across from the west side, and conse
quently the mills of Yerington, Blias & Co.
were not running yesterday.
From Capt. Mathewson we learn that the
number of convicts at the State Prison is
one hundred and forty-six. Finnigan and
Harrington, the two latest arrivals, have been
put to work in the shoe shop.
Three bars of bullion from the Northern
Belle mine, aggregating $4.73L48 in value,
were received here yesterday.
Before us is a thirty-two page pamphlet,
"The Wonders of Nevada," intended as a
guide for tourists to the great silver mines of
the Comstock, the towns, lakes, and moun
tains of Western Nevada. It is printed by
Mr. Sutherland, of the Enterprise book and
job printing office, the reading matter being
furnished by " Dan De Quille." It is well
filled with facts and figures for visitors to
these parts. It contains descriptions of Reno,
Steamboat Springs, Carson City, and, in
brief, gives a satisfactory account of all points
of interest between Reno and Virginia City,
devoting about six descriptive pages to the
latter plaee. The description of Lake Bigler
is briefly but accurately given, embracing
Glenbrook, Shakspeare Rock,Rowland's, Cave
Rock, Yanks, Silver and Falling Leaf lakes,
Emerald and Camelian bays, Tah6e City
and McKinney's. The sketch of Carson is
historically correct, and is well written, but
the author has been too liberal in the matter
of population, giving us 7,000, which, to be
honest, is more than we are entitled to. "The
Wonders of Nevada" is a well printed pam
phlet, convenient as to size, contains much
useful information for parties " doing" this
part of tho world, and is furnished without
:nonev and without price. The " nutriment"
for the publisher must bo in advertisements.
Ten thousand copies will soon be issued,
which will afford advertisers a good chance to
get before the people.

HARDWARE,
Lively Times at Dayton. A friend from
Dayton reports a lively condition of things in
that portion of Lyon county. Two wood
drives are being taken out there, and the
wood-drivers are making it very jolly for
Dayton. Whisky flows freely, " keerds'' are
sought after, and Spring tights are in full
blossom. A wood-drive is an event in the
life of Dayton. A short anecdote probably
applies here : A whisky man, from Hopkins
creek, CaL, once made application to Tom
(iilligan, of Marysville, to purchase a supply
f liquors for his saloon. After the necessary
credentials had boen produced, and the goods
were sold and delivered, Tom enquired about
the mining prospects of Plumas generally, and
Hopkins creek particularly, as to the length
of the mining season, and asked other perti
nent questions. " Misther (Jilligan," said
the gentleman from the mountains, " 1 might
as well be frank wid ye. The mines is purty
well pled out. Hut tho b'ys clane up the
bed-rock when the wather gets law, about
August, an' then I got a party of hurdy-gurdies
over from Gibsonville, an' between the
girls an' me the b'ys haven't much left in two
weeks. Man aloive ! But business is rushin'
then, an' it would do yer heart good to see
the b'ys enjoyin' themselves." That bill of
goods got on the wrong side of Gilligan's
profit ami loss account, but ho always en
joyed the joke.
Salsbi'Ry's Troubadours. This comic
opera company, the best traveling, will appear
at the Carson Theater on Monday and Tues
day nights of next week, giving "Patchwork"
on tho first and tho "Brook" on the second
night. The Troubadours have recently re
turned from Australia, whero they played one
of the most successful engagements known for
years in the colonies. The business manager,
Mr. Crouse, has acted wisely in making no
extra charge for reserved seats, the result of
which will bo that the Troubadours will have
two ood houses here, which their merits and
seiitible management entitle them to.
