Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1863-12-07

T"It was noble sight," says ARENAS
Ward, "to see our several mothers, (Betsey
James and mine) with their clothes pinned
up behind, bilin' soap and aboosin.. the
nabers." 1t is sight equally instructive and
elevating to sit on the top of tall fence, and
with calm and serene mind behold our
Virginia cotemporariesc boiling the soap
kettle of the Taxation Question, and abusing
each other like fshwomen. Mild terms Of
censurey ordinary sarcasm, and all such
"tufts of grass" are cast aside, and the solid
boulders of personal abuse are resorted to.
Into this wordy war our modest and dignihed
friend of the Carson Independent did
smilingly sail, when forthwith did Old
Veracity, of the Bulletin, hit him paster
over the mug, that knocked the mild eulogiSt
of Lo parfaitmeat froid. 1t hurls bomb at
the Pi-Ute, in the shape Of key Of lager,
which levels that confessed bibber of swipes,
and maketh him to hoist the white rag Of
truce, and cry "pe-unk." Behold ye snowy
banner:
I'VE go to lager beer Saloons when we feel 80
disposed, and generally find there very good
class of citizens If this is something the world
should know-let the world know it The Bal
lstiR may-if il SO desires-ascertain, by inquiry,
even the amount OF beer we drink daily or weekly.
And we can assure that very bitter sheet, that IL
this was all with which we had to reproach our
self, we should never experience pang ofregret
(Oh, Lord! The Major has been doing
something awful! Out with it, old fellow
can honest confession is good for the
SOUL"
1--WE should be glad to see it niquor) all dipap'
pear from the land, and lager beer substituted ID
its stead lu the latter, there Is nothing delete
rious or injurious to the system. IL cohtalhs out
an intiuitismal proportion Of alcohol1too small
in quantity TO do any serious injury. We ADVISE
no man 10 drink 1t is better that he should mol
drink either spirtuouS or malt liquuSs. But II he
will do So we advise him, by all means, 10 urink
lager beer. The Bulletin can say, with truth
and give the important information to its readers,
if it desires tO-that the editor of the lHdePtndeHt
drinks lager beer, but no raiSky-"
Quit it all, Major, if you can. Ifyou must
drink, however, take to whisky, and die the
death of the noble souls you so feelingly
eulogise; but remember John Bigler and his
ignominy, and don't go through on lager
Else, if there be on earth some lovely sheet
Of water, which geographers call Lake Craw-
ford, behold, the people who knew it by that
name, shall know 1t no more forever. Con-
slider, moreover, that when the sentimental
mind succumbs to lager, it becomes maudlin
and all unfit to combat in fierce, rude thrusts
and blows of gizzard-piercing and head
breaking sarcasm and abuse, like those dealt
by the rough scribes of Virginia. Thy lager
fuddled head will not move their compassion,
for, according to Woods Digest, " drunken
ness is NO excuse for crime" We never
drink; we never quarrel; and whether mines
ought to be taxed or not, we calmly hold the
tenor of our way, unassailing and unassailed'
like unto the bald eagle Of liberty sitting on
a stake and rider fence, watching fight
among the turkey buzzards. "The press is
the lever that moves the world" and all that
sort of thing, and it is also the bellows that
blows great deal Of wind. The dearly be-
loved people will settle all these great Con-
stitutional questions in their own way, Tor
will think they do so, which is just as well.)
