song, in character. of "Fireman's
Darling" was received with
enthusiasm, and Marsh's descriptive
song Of "Good VIII" received Its due
need Of applause. Professor Slgnor
Farini unfortunately did not sing
"The Harp of Judah" but substituted
the beautiful ballad of "Sweet Spirit
Hear my Prayer" in its stead. Seno-
rita Garibaldl sang q sweet song which
was loudly encored, and In res
ponse she sang another sweet one
She has a melodious, pleasing voice,
although evidently somewhat embar-
rassed last evening. Charley Nc
Carthy's sweet ballads yer received
with high favor, and the duet of
"Thou art so Near and yet so Far"
by Signor Farini and himself was ap-
propriately given and received.
Charley has 4 sweet tenor voice, and
Farini q rich basso baritone. Professor
Sauers presided at the plano In his
usual excellent style. The Shoo-E1y
song and dance of Miss Sue Robinson
and Miss Grace Hazlett took the house
by storm. Altogether 1t vas a highly
pleasing aud satisfactory entertain
ment. '
JOHN SMITH IN TRoUBLE.-This fore
noon an individual who gives his name
as John Smith rode down through the
Devils Gate, horseback, without stop
ping to pay his toll-l21a cents. Mr..
Considinc, the gatekeeper, called to
him, but. he merely said "Ill pay
when l come back" In about an hour
or so John reappeared, and just before
he got to the gate he whipped up and
went past on 4 full run. Considine
sung out after him, but John didn't
care a d-n. He kept right on, never
looking back at all, otherwise he might
have seen that the toll man meant
business. Considlne got a horse and
started after him. not for the two bits,
but Just to teach John q lesson He
passed him by Il flank movement at the
Marysville mill, and came into Gold
Hill Just ahead of him. a short con-
versation with Constable Harkin caused
Johns arrest, and 4 subsequent inter-
view with Justice Cook eliminated In
John being charged $50 for his fun in
stead Of % cents. which the more leni-
ent toll ma originally wanted. The
last we saw of John he was about pay
ing a visit 10 the County Jail. all be-
cause he didu't happen to have $25
about him. The only thing he had to
say to the Judge by way Of apology
was that he had been through that gate
lots of times without paying. Never
when | was there" says Considine.
John rides a good horse, and looks Ike
q smart man. but he wasn't this time.
He should study honesty, policy and
arithmetic a little better hereafter.
PIuTE FoorrApS.--lf anybody sup
poses that the Piute element Of our
population is not observant, and eiNi-
Gus of the accomplishments of his pale
faced brethren, they are wOfully mis-
taken. Read the following. from the
Carson appeal: "A Chinaman named
All Fow, came up from Empire afoot
last evening about 4 o'clock, and when
he got just within sight Of town he
found himself captured by three Indi-
ans, two of whom held him whilst the
other one went through him. They
took what little money he had-about
two dollars-and then beat him unmer
cifully. and left him lying sepseless by
the side OF the railway. He got to
Chinatown. and there his wounds,
mainly about ~the head, were dressed.
So we learn from the night watchman,
sam Hodgkinson.
\ PRIZE FIGHT THAT DIDN'T COME
ORA pair of pugilistic individuals,
says the Carson Appeai, arranged to
have a ''mill" yesterday afternoon
down Oh \ vacant lot on the Warm
Springs road and started, followed by
an eNpectaut crowd, to the place des-
iSnated for the fiStic duel. Whether
they started with an insufficient amount
of '.sand." or whether they concluded
to "let Us have peace" before they got
there. i n question that Is yet to be
decided ; but when they reached the
| ground neither seemed willing to pro-
coed with the proposed controversy ;
and they ''came up smiling" to town
without having struck a blow. VI
course the crowd WAS greatly disguised.
The ALmAMBR,.-This irrepressible
center of fun and general dramatic
hilarity gave the usual good entertain
ment last evening, Notwithstanding a
rather slim audience. This, however,
was occasioned by the benefit Of Good
Will Hose, at Piper's Opera House,
proving 4 much more potent attraction.
Tonight the programme calls for q
full house. Just read what the great
chief, Add Weaver, with Nelly Vlning,
! Johnny Campbell, Chris. Mathews,
| Lizzie Worrell, William Painter, Ella
Stanley and the rest Of the company,
are going to DO.

GREAT LIGnT.-The Carson .1ppea!
says: The great fire at Dayton,
which place Is at least ten miles dis
tant from here on an air line, made a
light which was very distinctly visible
from our streets. So plain was 1t. in
fact. that 1t seemed as ii objects here
about were rendered considerably
more distinct than If the fire had not
made its sign in the sky"
