THE EVENING NEWS.

sprung suas SomeS aiore summer mas
as many months in it as any other Sec
ton of the year; has March to begin
with, which in Washoe is usually
characterized by the cussedest weather
that ever did comfort the human race;
has May to end with, that brings the
dsises in Flowery and the n%ightingales
to Mount Davidson. Yes, sir; Spring
has arriv. tWejust ran to the window,
and looked out to see if it was going 10
snow. As we remarked, Spring is
here. 1t didn't come over the noun
taius by either route; it just naturally
settled down onto US from the cerulean
emporium that arches magnificantly-
where's ~ dictionary Of Poetical
quotations. Blessings, Heavens choicest
blessings on the mar who regu-
larily into our office, and gobbles our
hand-books, Of all sorts. As we
said, Spring, it is here. If il
is not, where is it? Is not the air balmy,
is not the going under foot getting to be
something you can venture on? Are
not the ladies coming out on the streets
in new styles and smiles and things?
What is all this? 1t is Spring. We met
Sol. Geller, of Washoe-aud Heaven
bless his really capacions heart, say
we-and Solomon saith: alt looks aw-
full pretty down on the Truckee owl
days" "Why is it?" we inquired.
"'Cause its Spring" said Solomon; "and
tell you" said he, This is a COAX on
his scriptural godfather, "that in all
my glory, with my new suit Of clothes
on, | was never arrayed like the lilies
of the T~ruckee." "why is it, We
asked. "Because it's Spring. said
Sol. Brier has gone down to Spring
Valley. We hope he won't be ar
rested. He's as innocent as any spring
gun that ever went off halt-cocked.
People meet one another to-day and say
with a most delightful heartiness of
emphasis: This is nice weather, amt
it," This is Spring !" Everybody
somehow feels as If the genial time had
been earned by the endurance OF a hard
old winter. Folks fairly chuckle, when
they bid you 'good-day' now Got II
right to do il. Brier is in Dayton by
this time. They have had Spring wealth
er in Dayton for several weeks. It's a
dry climate down there. Ben Hazeltine
always reminds US of that, when we so
down there. 4 friend of ours interrupts
us by remarking: "No Spring prices
for fuel yet" All in good time, Growl-
er. Can't expect roads on the
grade to dry up in a day, do you?
You don't want much wood now,
anyway. It's Spring. oh, this tickles
us nightly. Brier will be home, to-
night. His voice is like a barometer.
He's as cheerful nov as the cricket on
the hearth, and we knew on day before
yesterday, just from his sweet chirrup,
that Spring had Wonder if he'll
employ US TO write locals for him again,
when he goes down TO the banks OF the
Carson. Everybody is gay, on account
of the weather. Look at the nights;
once enjoy them. Moonlight until you
can't rest. Morg Miller and Lance
Nightingale and George Gibson are camp
ed out, in pursuit of N obdurate spring
duck. Hal. Clayton'S pack and all the
double-barrelled nostriled dogs in Car
son have been subpeued to attend the
chase. Treasurer Rhodes is keeping
Warm Springs all alone, while Morg
and Lance & Co. have q chance to stick
by the game. Can sleep out nights
now. Why? Cause its Spring. Ha
ha! Wonder if Brier will be back be-
fore the paper goes to press? Spring is
a good thing. Why not? Isn't 1t the
lime of budding hope, the figure Of
young youth when the system is full OF
sap-no, no, this won't do. Spring is
the time when nature is most beautiful,
NOS: tender; when the blades OF grass,
II you're where you can see EN-, are
devilishly yerdant; when consumptiveS
revive aud smallpox gets into circula-
ton, if you don't look out. But If you
drink lager beer and brandy together or
alternately, in Spring, it's as evil a
habit as can be practiced in any other
season. We saw this fact eSemplihed
this morning, in the case Of an
early drunk. Spring is the season to
sow. The gardens in Virginia are IN
fine order. What? no gardens in Vir-
GINA? You 60 down by the Gas works,
and circumnavigate round in that neigh
borhood a little, and you'll find half a
dozen neat cabbage-felds. Look at a
Bokkelen's Preside. Go out on Ameri-
can Flat. Lots of gardens in this coun-
ty. Raise everything in this county
but baled hay. That's q kind Of vege-
table that isn't loose enough for our
soil. ''Pioneer'' got in at IL noon to-
dsy, by Placerville route. Spring is
improving the roads; but can't reduce
the tolls. There's q big batch Of snow
on the northeast side Of Mount David
son. but il is getting skinned thinner
and thinner, mighty rapidly, every day.
We've got an engagement to take a
walk with u young lady, to the summit,
when that now is clean gone. we
sereuaded her last night, with a new
version Of
when the Spring time eomes. gentle Annie
Two dogs and one policeman inter-
rppted us. No souls for music,
the cussed brutes. The "Star"
threatened us with his sole, If we
didn't quit the neighborhood. One Of
the dogs took a piece out of our unmen-
tionabies. IL don't show when u
coat is on; but if it wasn't Spring wealth
ar the rent would mako us mighty
chilly. It's very pleasant weather OUT
IN now. bS"' N
that "Smoky Valley never was so pleas
ant" You go down Smoky to get to
Belmont. Lew. says there's "lots OF
Spring chickens arrived from Storey,
already" That's probably meant for
.tsarkasm." The German Festival Will
come of in this county, about the 10Th
of May. Brier will be there; and Will
sing an Aria for the occasion, at pre-
cisely half past 3 in the afternoon. de
will be dressed in Grecian costume.
His e.ymology will then be Verdi-Greece.
We are only running this item-eolumn
