ARrIsrIcAL AND ExPREs,IvE.-Charley
Livermore, the talented artist Of the
Goose Club at Virginia, has kindly pre-
sented US with a specimen copy Of his
great picture entitled the " Leap Year
Dream Of an Unfortunate Bachelor"
There lies the poor lonely devil cuddlsd
up in bed, hugging the counterpart,
and snoozing away earnestly with a
troubled expression playing about the
corners Of his mouth and nostrils, while
In his vision he sees himself With bare
head, and hair and coat tails straight
out behind, flying IS it were for dear
life, and leaping aero, the foot Of the
bed followed eagerly by a long file Of
young and interesting damsels with
huge waterfalls, relentlessly bent on
capturing and victimizing him, while
just overhead follows q plump little
winged Cupid in the air, with bow and
arrow Just ready to shoot him. We
doubt not that this fancy picture Is
simply the persoui6cation Of some one
Of Livermore's own sad dreams, but to
us such o dream or its most earnest
realization would have no terrors. We
are fully conscious Of our attractions,
and that II is leap year, therefore are
ready for all emergencies.
PRsrARs o Ir.-In view Of the an
nounced fact that the railroad company
may have to quit the transportation Of
freight across the Sierra, and concen-
trate their entire resources in tho way
Of locomotives aud rolling stock upon
the transportation Of railroad con-
struction material to the front before
the SHOWS Of next winter can have the
chance to cut them of, would it not be
well for some Of our teamsters or fast
freight aud passenger transportationists
to look a little to the Plzcsrrills route ?
It 10 no trick at all for the SHOWS on the
Bonner Lake summit to stop the cars,
as we see by the example Of last winter,
and a good line of sleds or other con-
yenient way Of transportation over the
Placerville route will be found to pay
well next winter.
BRIcE o HI YEw CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Hugh Kerrin Is Co. have completed a
kiln Of $50 1000 bricks for the now
Catholic Church on Taylor street, Viz
ginia, between Z and F streets. The
kiln will be fred neIt Sunday. About
$4,000 worth Of wood will DO required
to properly burn it. Besides this large
kiln, it will be necessary TO burn a Sec
ond and smaller one. The whole num-
Der required would have been burned
in one kiln, but that the contractor for
the building Of the church is making
such rapid progress with the stone base
ment that he will be ready for the brick
before the whole could be completed
and burned, aud it is important that
there be no delay now that the weather
can DO depended upon, rs late 10 the
fall it is liable to be more or less stormy
and u~nfavorsble.
