ton Of our population as unciyilized
barbarians, who don't know enough to
go into the house when it rains, or
who never dress comfortable in win
ter, sleep in warm places, and get
plenty to eat, are excessively mis-
taken. They are in good healthy order
and condition, and the women have
the latest, Quietest, jolliest babies in
creation. They toll not, neither do
they spin, to any great extent, except
by way Of exercise in prospecting for
more grub. Fish, pine-nuts, roots,
mushrooms, and other native products
of the country contribute to their
stomach supplies, and for variety they
come to town and eat up the refuse
thrown out Of fruit stores, n chop
wood, lug water, or do up similar
chores for the sake Of good lunch Of
white mans grub-eold or warm, they
are not particular-or few bits and
quarters to play poker with. As to
clothing, the Piute warrior manages
to pick up or otherwise acquire plenty
of old cast-of articles of dress about
town, and so does his squaw. And they
always pile on pretty much all the
clothes they can pick up in cold wealth
er, irrespective of quality, fashion or
beauty. The squaws all have rabbit
skin cloaks. and the warrior finds the
blanket he sleeps in good, as well as
stylish. to wear during the day. AS to
sleeping places, their "campOodies,"
built of sticks. bark, old mats, hides,
rags and other things, are not alto
"ether handsome. but they never freeze
inside, a little fire built in the middle

complexion. One day is just as good
IA another with them; they never
bother with going to church Sundays,
and are particularly reckless rs to
whether school keeps or not. They
are free from the vices of the pale-face;
they get along we'll without stealing,
swearing. cutting. shooting, or SANDER
ing their neighbors, and new get
drunk aud disorderly, but so home ut
night. and don't lay around loose on
the sidewalk and get put In the station
house. They are much more virtuous
than white folks, therefore happier.
Color EyrEILED.-A well dressed
and we'll bred little mulatto boy, son
of Mr.. Billiard, a taxpayer Of ormsby
County, says the Appeal Of this morn
ing. was admitted by order Of a ma
jority Of the Board Of School Directors,
10 the Carson District School. He at
tended the primary department for
one week, and ut the expiration ofthat
time he was notified to quit, and he
accordingly left. The Board of Direc-
tors was composed Of Henry y.
Rhoades, Esq. Geo. Chedic, Esq. and
NJ. G.. Gardner, Esq. Rhoades and
Chedic are Republicans and Gardner
is 4 Democrat. The boy was admitted
TO the school by authority Of Rhoades
ard Chedic. Mr.. Chedic discovered a
few days ago that the State law would
not permit the colored boy to attend q
school where white children were, and
he ~thereupon yielded to the pressure
OF certain thin skinned advisers and
notified Rhoades that lie could no
longer stand by him in keeping the lad
in school. The appeal properly files
its objections, and quotes pertinent eN-
tracts from the School Act and the
Civil Rights bill in support of its posi-
ton.
SWINGING AROUND THE CIRCLE
a person taking the cars at Gold Hill,
bound for Carson, during the first half
dozen miles or so, in which he passes
around American Flat, steers in every
direction-completely ''boNes the COM
pass We may say. At first starting
ont lie goes southwark, then winds
away to the westward, then by degrees
around to the south again, then to the
east, and finally to the north anu even
the westward of north, which culmiila-
ton of circle swinging is reached just
before arriving at the big tunnel near
the lower end of the Hat. After pass
In" through the tunnel, the road
swings away to the right, until the
original southerly direction is resumed.
Necessarily. on 80 crooked piece oi
road, the ears have to go rather SLOW,
and in case of accidentally falling on
the train, II a fellow could not run faSt
enough to catch up with the rear car,
all he has to do Is to cut across hill or
hollow and head off the train. Pretty
good time, however. is made on the
lower end of the road, where 1t Is
straighter.
