GAMMA. youngest daughter of Reuben and
Hannah Fl. EVeritt aged years, / month and
20 days.
Ohropcled thus is the death Of frail little
flower, too pure tor earth. One who has suffered
all that human could bear, and whose spirit has
taken it's flight from earth to dwell forever in the
presence of Him who gave and who hath taken
away. Close attention has woven the golden
cords OF love too closely AROUND the little treas.
ure for even death to sever. From her bright
home III Heaven her angel spirit hovers around
those who loved her most. Her idoliZed memory
still lives in the hearts of father mother brothers
and sisters, and by them and friends che is still
beloved.
Beloved by all who knew her, mourned by
large circle OF friends to the bereaved family,
though the loss be irreparable, may it tend to
draw the loving hearts of many upwards to her
delightful dwelling place.
Soon shall we meet again
Meier never to sever
Soon will peace wreath it's chain
Round US forever.

were fired, and one soldier and one negro were

they retreated after the fies. volley The negroes
walked up and down the streets cursing the

It is now twenty flour hours since the riot. and
our authorities have not made, or attempted
to make, the first arrest. The negro leaders are

There is strong probability OF the fight being

THE TRUCKEE CITY AND CARSON
WAGON ROAD.

With regard TO this much mooted
rrojec, the Truckee Tribune of Nov. 90,
says:
The report Of the engineer. Mr.. Hoadley,
OF the Truckee and Carson City Wagon
Road has been handed US for inspection.
The engineers report is upon the route
primarily proposed, but he is of the opinion
that shorter route with trihe heavier grade
over which a road can be built at much less
cost exists. The fetal length of road to be
built is little over seventeen miles; COM
ruencing at point on the Hot Springs road
and striking the road from Carson City to the
Gienbrook at some point on the divide be-
tween those places, thus making the total
length Of the road in the neighborhood of
,hirty-fve miles. The estimated cast is
ST Ssh. The estimate is made with reference
% a good road Of sixteen feet roadway. The
heaviest grade Is twelve inches to the rod.
The distance saved to the Walker river mines
ard those of Southern Nevada. and the set
Elements in Alpine county Is some forty
miles. We think that the building of a road
ever this or some route in the vicinity is ad-
visab!e and we trust our citizens viii imme-
iiate.y take steps to incorporate company
ard commence the work.
We are not as hopeful with regard 10
the construction of this road as we
were led TO be by the understanding
which we got about its feasibility last
spring when the matter was so much
discussed heresboui; but il is very Ger
tain tba; if this project can be carried
10 completion that it will prove of i'll :
mense benefit 70 Carson and Truckee
City. We believe our citizens should
give this subject their very serious
consideration and cooperate, az far as
may be, with the citizens of Truekee.

THE OLD TURNPIKE.

We hear NO more the changing hoof,
And the stage coach rafting by,
For the steam king rules the travel werld,
And the old pike 3 left to die.
The grave creeps o'es the flinty path,
And the stealthy daises steal
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
No more the weary stager breads
The toll ofthe coming morn
No more the bustling landlord runs
At the sound of the echoing horn;
For the dust lies still upon the road,
And the bright eyed children play
Where once the Gathering hoof and wheel
Ratified along the way.
No more we hear the crankling whip
And the strong wheels rumbling sound;
But ah ! the water drives us on,
And an iron horse is found
The coach stands rustling in the yard,
The horse has sought the plough;
We have spanned the world with an iron
rail,
And the steam king rules us now.
The old turnpike is pike no more;
Wide open stands the gate;
We have made US a road for our horses to
stride,
And we ride at flying gate.
We have filled the valleys and levelled the
hills,
And tunnelled the mountains side,
And round the rough crag' S dizzy verge
Fearlessly now We ride.
On-on-on-wi,h haught front,
A puff, a shrek, and bound:
While the tardy echoes wake too late
To echo back the sound;
And the old pike road is left alone
And the stagers seek the plough:
We have circled the earth with an iron rail,
Aud the steam king rules US now.

This, we have reason TO think, was

is told that when Paine was imprisoned
in Paris, by order of Robespierre, a
man was sent round each morning TO
mark cross on the cell door of the
prisoners who were doomed to execu

door stood open as he passed, and the

Presently, before the executioner came,
the door was closed, and Paine was
saved, to write the second part Of the

ANEEICAS GIRLS AS AN AID TO EMi

AMERICAN GIRLS AS AN AID TO EMi
GRAFTON. A European letter. writer
says of American girls in Europe: ! do
not wish to undervalue English beauty,
which is most satisfactory and endur'
ing, but most of which VIII wash. But
confess that American beauty from
New York to New Orleans has spoiled
my eyes for any other. fear you do not
half appreciate them at home Here the
admire aud envy ,hem-that is, the men
admire, and the women envy. On the
Continent they rave about them. Half a
dozen American bellies send a whole
German town distracted. II is not only
their beauty aud grace, but their wit,
spirit. and happy audaci'y. The contl-
mental customs favor their triumphs.
No girl over there ever dares TO say her
soul is her owu-let alone her body.
An American girl, on the contrary, as
serts her freedom, goes wherever she
pleases, talks with every one she cares
| TO talk with, says du to n German at
the first introduction, and orders him
about just-just as she would do at
LONE. He is overw helmed and astound-
ed, but all the more delighted. He tells
Ills friends that the beautiful girl he
waltzed with said du TO him, aud told
sim TO bring her glass of water, which
sets them all crazy TO be introduced TO
her, hear her say da to them, and be
made water. carriers likewise. Next day
the whole town is talking about her
and staring at her. the women are in a
rage; but the result is the conviction
that America must be Il great country,
increased emigration, and the conse-
quent progress Of civilization.
