OF my gentle Jenny Gray;
But never can forget the day,
When with Jenny by my side,
We talked Of love aud happiness-
When she would be my bride.
Chorus:-Hush! the banjo! toll the bell
I'm vciy cad to-day;
cannot look, SO let me weep.
For my gentle Jenny Gray.
OF my Jenny had the sweetest face,
And eyes of sparkling jet,
With lips like new born roses;
She was my darling ret.
But death, be called one morning
And stole my love away,
And left me lonely, weeping
For my gentle Jenny Gray.
Chorus Hush the banjo! &c.
Down in the grave they've laid her,
Close 10y my cabin door;
A rude stone marks the spot
Where she sleeps to wake no more.
While at her grave I'm weeping,
At close Of every day,
fancy she's but sleeping,
And not dead d-my Jenny Gray.

A WILD NEGRO IN LouIsIANA.-A naked
wild negro has teen seen several times near
Magnolia and Chatswa, In. He was first
discovered two weeks ago BY a white man
named Magnolia, seated upon fallen tree,
eating pine cones. On being approached he
ceased to eat, threw himself on all-fours, and
ran until he managed to get out Of sight
When next seen it was eight miles below,
near the railroad station, at Chatawa. Every
effort to get him to talk to any one, even OF
his own color, failed, and, on being approach
ed, he fed away rapidly. until he was seen
No more He manifests no savage or brutal
qualities, but seems to entertain an absolute
dread of intercourse with human beings. He
appeared to be about twenty five years of age,
we'll built, and healthy. His finger nails have
grown to an enormous length, resembling the
claws of some Wild feline animal. 1t is be-
lieved that he was originally runaway, and
that he has for years lived in the woods and
swamps. and is not aware Of the emancipation
of his race.

correspondent of the Sacramento Union
gives us the following with regard to
the proposed raising Of Hon C. E. De
Longs mission to higher grade:
Talking of appropriations, reminds
me that Sumner, two or three days since,
took it into his head 10 do the handsome
thing by the Pacific coast, 10 Offering
an amendment to the Diplomatic Appro-
priation bill, to v hieh the Senate agreed,
by which the salary of our Minister 10
Japan is raised to $l0, 900 per annua ;
the effect beicE to raise that mission
from the grade of Minister Resident 70
that of Envoy Extraordinary and Min
lister Plenipotentiary. His reasons we're
two-fold: first, the high price of living
at Yokohama; aud second, that our
Minister should rank equally with rep
resentatives of other foreign Powers.

for bis vigilance, ability and effective
services in the Oneida case, aud in the

One of our reporters last evening
learned the following particulars Of a
strange affair that occurred on Third
street during the early part of the even
ing. II appears that a gentleman was
walking ieisurely along Third street,
smoking cigar, and, doubtless, won
dering when the times we're going to
become better, when he was met by q
woman who, without addressing a word
to him, dealt him tremendous slap,
and then, inserting her hand into his
pocket, took out pocketbooh or purse
and walked away, and, before the man
had recovered his presence of mind,
had disappeared. The gentleman said
there was $500 in the purse, and that be
bad no idea who the woman was who
attacked and robbed him, but our in
formant declared that be did not act
like a man that had been robbed by an
unknown person, and imagined that the
story was invented to shield little do

There is decidedly a sensation among

lottery scheme aud parties who have
been selling tickets since it has become
kno wn that the matter was to be brought
before the Grand Jury Of the new NUM-
cipal Court. Judge Stanley's language
in his charge o.day, is understood as
pointing directly at the Library Lottery,
where be says: 1.-THE act to prohibit
lotteries, raffles, gift enterprises and
other schemes of hks character, spprov'
ed April "a, 1861" makes it my duty to
give its provisions specially in charge
TO every Grand Jury TO inquire into all
violations of the same, and after citing
its provisions concludes 1.-THE act
stands upon the Statute book unrepealed
and is as much the law of the land as
any other statute. Ifyou find that any
of its provisions have been violated, you
are TO take such action as is required
OF you oy law, as IN all otnet cases OF
violation of the criminal law, regardless
of the purpose Of inducing such viola
ton, or the character of the persons Of
Tending" A nearly all the specie and

the tickets and are liable to pay the
buyers $50 each 70: every ticket sold !;

hail from the western part Of the State.
Now. with respectful Difference to the

the name of our townsman, Len. Wines,

financial, political and social record is
well known throughout the State, and is
just such a record as the people of Me-

While you are in error in giving it to
be understood that the APPEAL has ex
pressed any preference for any one of
the several candidates in western Ne
vada for donors at the hands of the Re-

all you say regarding the fitness of Mr.,
Wines for the position to which he as
pires. We believe that such selection
would strengthen the ticket and be an
act of justice to the party in eastern

The Attempted Murder 1t Coriune.
From the Corinne Reporter, July 81

From the Corinne Reporter, July 2
Orson Hyde Elliott of this city made
q deadly assault: on o. D. Huyck, editor
aud one of the proprietors Of this paper,
last evening at o. clock, in front of his
(Eliio,t's) house. True to the instincts
of the trescherous creed which he some
times pretends to deny, this rofian at
tackled Mr.. Huyck in the most brutal
and cowardly manner. Not with notice
of his purpose, but AS one prepared like
all of bis clan in Utah, to do the assas-
sins work. He approached Mr.. Huyck,
who was passing ut the time, and with
out warning struck him on the head
several times, and thus knocked him
down, after which the coward followed
the PROSTATE man with kicks and blows.
Mr.. Huyck has had no quarrel with
Elliott, and though q man suffering
with great inSrmiry of body, Elliott
knew that it was only by the towards
advantage that be could succeed IN his
to kill a mao whom he has
reason to fear-for Huyck
hates the skulking villain who would do
such work as Elliott has been doing in
Corinne We have reason to believe
that the roffian's anger arose from the
fact that the splendid American flag
formerly lent to this Office and BY acct
dent in his possession, was about to be
reclaimed by the Government.
