contain sun pearls of some of our most
distinguished characters, who are able
to travel on their shape, or who arc
renowned for their good looks. There
is Bob Graves, Superintendent of the
Empire,-oue Of the best looking men
on this coast. There is Miss Alice
Kingsbury, leaning in most lovely atti-
tude on the shoulder Of another lovely
actress. Then there is a case fastened
against the wall of Blacks building, to
your left, which holds among other
specimens of Clem's art, a card con-
tanning pictures of Judge Baldwin,
Stephen Gage, and Rev. Mr. Earle, Rev.
Mr.. Martin, Mccullough, the actor, and
one or two other notables. But one
main and grand feature Of Col. Suffer-
ley's gallery, is the number and variety
of pictures he has on eIhibition-dupli-
Gates of any of which may be purchased
of His I%ntelligency, H. G. Blasdel.
We understand that our beloved Gov
ernor has o new shadow of his splendid
c%ountenance cast at Sutterley's every
time he deigns to visit Virginia. Here
he is, in all styles, all cases and sizes
from the smallest Photographic conden-
sation up to a full landscape view. He
is presented looking at you with intense
serenity, and anon he appears in the
pleasing form of q modest profile, that
glances to one side that he may not
flush at the admiring gaze of-well,
this style is in the most convenient form
for popular purchase. The next time
His Iutelligeucy comes up here he
should have his picture taken in full
he sitting with pen in hand, signing the
mine tax bill; Tom Wells, his Private
Secretary, on his right, in a perspective,
and Senator Welty on his left. The
simple words: "Aproved, Fl. G. Blais-
dell, Governor" underneath the picture
frame, would be all the inscription re-
CURED. If that photography could some
how be "taken" in the picture, it would
be an achievement of art that would
make the picture doubly acceptable to
the people of Nevada.
This reminds US that the late Gov
ernor Briggs, of Massachusetts,, was
pestered with applications for "sits"
by daguerrean artists, during the early
part of his Executive incumbency; and
some o~ficious %janitor officer Of the State
House procured several dozen Of his
"~likenesses" and adorned every State
officers room and every doorway Of the
capitol at Boston with one of the daguer-
reotypes. Old Woodbury., Of Taunton,
who was an iuveterate wag, improved
the license of the last day Of one session,
in the House, by bringing in a drawer
full of these pictures, which he had
upjustifably ordered to be collected in
the capitol; and he sent them up to the
| Speakers desk with protest against
their being posted all over the building.
Governor Briggs was terribly mortified
by the joke, and ever after entered q
veto on applications for a "sit." But
Governor Briggs was a really excellent,
intelligent and modest man. We do
not wish there should be any improper
differences from this ju%xtaposition OF
mention of two Executives.
Colonel sutterley has a fine set Of
| views of the Pacific Railroad, and Of
portions of the Dutch Flat track. His
rooms are elegantly fitted up ; and they
are really a great credit to Jul county.
If you desire to entertain a stranger,
take him to Sutterley's gallery, and let
him gaze upon the faces Of the Washoe
pioneers /; and buy q picture Of the Gov
ernor, in compensation for your visiting
rent. Sutterley's suite Of picture rooms
are not equaled in any respect as an
appointed Photographic gallery" this
side of San Francisco.
The Empire-Imperial will be ready
for service next month (; and our Gold
Killers out of proper sense of contrib.
utiug to their self respect as townsmen
should visit the building. The massive
timbers for the hosting gear make a
new and immense style Of frame. The
building is ~capacious enough to fulfill
all demands for space that the Compa-
mics can require in their hosting works
for all time. The carpenters wing is
larger than the Opera House at Virginia,
by nearly double Of size. The entire
building is being ceiled in the best nan
ner. The steam power is to be as a
thousand horses, by the mechanical rule.
We see by the Eastern religious jour
nails that Rev. Mr.. Earle reiterates his
intention of coming to this coast again
next year. Which reminds US when Mr..
Earle wentto Carson, and justasthe work
of his ministry there had become reviv-
ing, a report vas set in circulation by q
certain dignitary there to the effect that
the Reverend Revivalist had "broken
up two or three families" in the course
of his evangelist journeys. or course,
the effect Of this slander-for, with
what it implied, it was q gross SLAM
der,-was calculated to make many
good people suspicious Of the good
preacher. And some honest and sem
sible man who heard the charge from
the high libeller, went directly to Mr..
Earle and told him of the report. Mr..
Earle replied "Let me have on inter-
view with the man who is spreading
this report" And with some Of the
"brethren F" he called upon the afore-
said dignitary, and ut onco introduced
the subject thus: az understand you
