THE CAABRIASs.-Introduce to the Nevadals
by friend Bausman of the Hydraulic Press,
whose reputation as a judge of music stands un-
rivalled in this vicinity, the Cambrians under
such auspices came with a flourish of trumpets
before Nevada audience on Wednesday night.
The programme was entirely new, particularly
the Welsh song, and called forth any number Of
cheers for the Joneses. The house was good
one, indeed first rate one, for the fame of the
Joneses had preceded them several days.
Welsh music, if we are to believe English crit
les, is extraordinary. That heard at the Metro
politan on Wednesday night, was, VIC know, and
that was Welsh music without doubt, as we
never heard anything like it before nor do We
mean to experience the like again. 1t is too
captivating altogether, produces too many yeils
of delight from the crowd, makes the ladies
look about earnestly for friends for company in
their enjoyment, and SO completely surfeits an
audience that the next troupe of minstrels, even
the English Opera Troupe, will be pronounced
bore and sell in advance of a performance.
As a proprietor of stock in a theatre, had we
known the wonderful gifts of the .Cambrians
before they came, we should have stipulated for
them to have come just after We had disposed of
it, and as citizen of Nevada we regret that
the enhancing minstrels had not staid. away
till every other troupe had played before them.
We are sorry and disappointed. The audience
generally, however, do not sympathze with us
in an extraordinary degree. They like good
thing In season or out of season. Their only
regret is that the song of "Threc Blind Mice"
was omitted Otherwise the entertainment is
regarded complete.

That BRIDGE on Pine street parted with two
of its bents by the persuasion of the swollen wa
ters of Dear Creek, ON Monday. As it now
stands it presents the appearance of very long
span with the arch, supposed to be necessary to
beauty ard strength, at the top, reversed. As
a consequence those interested in horse flesh have
determined the bridge to be unsafe and have fen
ced the road up at each end. Foot travellers
are permitted still to walk the planks at their
own risk.
The Pine street Bridge was always an insight
ly structure, outragiug the sense of the sublime
and beautiful by its architectural blundcrs. 1t
was erected in 1854, and has outlived the eXpcc-
tati1ns OF all workers in wood who saw it in Its
youth and strength. 1t was built by the low
est bidder, of course
There is an important suggestion we wish to
make in this connection. 1t must occur to every
one that fanother bridge is to be erected on the
site the oh one, it ought to be undertaken
soon while the oil bridge remains for seat
fold as thereby considerable expense will be
saved. If new bridge is not contemplated
the road shoud be permanently closed against
.cams to insure the lives and property Of citi-
zens; and the people living on the ether side
of Deer Greek will be muci; obliged To the town
for whose gorcrnnent they contribute if thc
old thing is left them for a foot bridge, for
which purpose it may answer several years.
Since the above wis pat in type We learn
from some of the City Trustees that it is pro
posed to erecta new and substantial bridge on
OF near the site of the old one. The trustees
wisely regard bridge al that point al this time
a public necessity, and arc taking steps TO pro
cure the necessary Information relative to the
kind of bridge that ought to be built and ths
cost of the 1t is proposed to obtain an
act of the Legislature authorizing the lcvyiae
of special tax for the purpose. small tax
on property within the corporate limits of the
city will suffice to construct a bridge that
woald be credit to the place. We know OF
no better or more equitable mode Of procuring
the necessary means than the proposed. Il
the residents within the city limits living on
the other side of d eer Creek are to remain con
tributors to the support of the city government
they must be supplied with bridge to rcacl
their homes and property. at the city expense
There is another important fact . be taken in
to consideration in this matter Of building a ncv
bridge. 1t is the only way left us to get out o
town or into it without paying toll. The PINE
street bridge viii give travellers access TO th'
county road between this city and Grass Valley

LET LOUISIANA LOOK OUT FOR HER SUGAR.-A
complied statement, of Mr.. Champonicr, of the
sugar crop of Louisiana, shows 'that the total
product of that state, from 1884 tc 1858 inclu-
sive, period of twenty-five years. was 1914
70g hogSheads, valued atS2iS, l39, 200 and that
of this quantity the Atlantic ports took 1,4S5,-
653 hogsheads, and the Western States 2,3l4,-
454 hocsheads" 1t should be remembered that
the sugar crop of Louisiana is fully protected by
4 duty on foreign sugars oftwenty per cent,
and should she secede her great crop would be
brought into direct competition with the sugar
crop OF the West India islands, with which she
has never yet been able to compete without such
protection Under such circumstances can she
afford to sacrifice by secession such great and
important interest, and lay her plantations waste
at the ..beck and bid' of South Carolina?

"On the opposite wall hang the contributions
of ]. Chew, of San Francisco. These are also
most creditable specimens of the Photographic
art. Among them is life size head and bust
of Senator Broderick-probably the most per

HIGH PRICE OF FUEI.-Western New York is

most extensive coal region on the continent.
That frewood should there command a higher
price than in California, may seem rather singn-
lar; yet, according to the Lockport Advertiser.
hard wood was recently selling in that town for
seven dollars per cord. Such facts as these
should teach US to be wisely economical with our
splendid mountain forests, and to permit no use
less destruction of them. We should remember
they are the heritage of those to come after us,
and all waste is direct and palpable wrong to
our children.-.Sde. Bee.

The SToRx The easterly storm of Satar-
day was one of the seYerest which has been
experienced for many years, and caused one
OF the most terrible shpwrecks which has oc-
cured on the Atlantic Coast for years. The
ship Maritnaa was driven on the rocks near
Boston Light, and totally lost, involving the
destruction of twenty seven lives. Considera,
BILE damage was done in New York City, par,
ticui,rly along the river fronts. where the tide
inundated the cellars, and even overaowed the
piers destroying considerable quantities OF
goods and rendering the places untenable.-
The parks in the City suffered in their trees
and foliage the grounds were quilted by the
heavy rain foods, and some of the Railroads
leading into the City had extensive damage
done to their tracks The Sound steamers
were compelled to make a harbor anu wall
for the subsistence of the gale. They mostly
arrived on Monday afternoon, and report two
or three vessels ashore in the Sound. The
pilot boats report the gale as very severe out
side, and some of them lost sails and spars.-
The grounds of the Geenwood Cemetry were
also considerably damaged. Our telegraph
reports indicate that the storm has been IN
usually severe elsewhere, especially in the
Chesapeake Bay.
