W AsHOK

The following lines, received by a
gentleman, resident Of Gold Hill, from
a school girl in Wisconsin, fifteen
years Of age, we are kindly permitted
to publish. The vivid conception of
earthquake horrors in n so young Is
quite remarkable, considering that she
has never been here to experience
them:
oh. magic ame OF Western splendor,
Wild Nevada ring your cry;
Chain that tyrant- none defend her,
Sweeping In It's glory by.
Hundreds tremble at her footstep, .
None would greet her savage form
Ruddy cheeks with terror ~blanching,
Rushing from their Ate forlorn.
Hear the shrieks OF dying hundreds,
Hear the totterfng houses fhn;
On your knees, oh, Wild Nevada.
Pray for God 10 spare them an.
Swallowed up In terra frma,
Oh, thy grave how rough to be-
Yesterday those hearts were happy,
Now they've won eternity.
Pause q moment, mighty Nation,
God forbid such fAte be thine;
Pray to spare that conflagration,
Ending lives before their time.
Spare 1t. God OF Heavens, spare 1t
Leave = shadow OF the past.
Gold be thine. death to the winner,
Endless days can't always last.
Methinks l hear the angels saying
Bitter always with the sweet;
Bitter means those earthquakes swaying,
Tumbling, lettering at thy feet.
Sweet was COLDS alluring passion
You have tasted this you'll W
Gamble not bat pray for shelter,
Earth ne'er knew u perfect home.

GRAND LODGE |. o. 0. F.-rhe an
nual session of the Nevada Grand
Lodge l. o. o. F. commences at Nir-
ginia OIL the It'll June and lasts three
days, closing on the 9th with the grand
installation. 1t is rather unfortunate
that this should 10 the very day select
ed for the LAYING Of the cornerstone OF
the State Capitol at Carson. Not only
will the OddFellows be precluded from
attending, but also many Masons who
belong TO that Order. The installation
dsy Is the most interesting Of all. Post
poning the laying of the cornerstone
one day would give the Odd Fellows
and Masons an equal show, and Satur-
day would be q o satisfactory
convenient day with most everybody.
ANYHOW, we should think the Commit-
tee might have selected some other
more propitious day than Friday

The Hon. Benjamin +. Trimble,
a Solicitor Of this Court, announced
the death of General Robert E. Lee,
in an eloquent and feeling speech
and moved, in behalf Of the bar and
the community at large, that in re-
spect to his great worth and unsul.
lied fame in all the periods Of his
remarkable life, this COURT should
adjourn until the usual hour to.
morrow morning.
The Court cheerfully acquiesced
in the motion to adjourn, remark
ing that 1t seemed eminently proper
that this respect should DO shown
to the memory of Gen. Lee, on &C.
count of his unqesliOned greatness,
his pre.eminent virtues as q noble

the United States be accepted the

kept green in the memory of, and

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.-An
old Chinese proverb says; "Do
not stop in q cucumber field to tie
thy shoe" The meaning is very
plain. Some one will be likely to
fancy that you are stealing fruit.
Always remember the injunction,
"Abstain from all appearance OF
evil" Do not stop under the So
loon porch to rest yourself, how.
ever shady the trees may be, oil
however easy the chairs. Some
one may fancy you are a common
lounger there, and so your good
name be furnished. Don't 60 to 4
liquor.saloon to get a glass Of
lemonade, however refreshing il
would seem to you. Rather buy
your lemons and prepare the cool
ing beverage at your home, wher'
others may share it with you
probably, too, at no greater ex
pense than your single glass woult
cost you. Somebody seeing yo'
drinking at the bar, will be sure Il
tell the story, and will not be par
ticular to state that you werl
drinking only lemonade. Then
too, if you are careless about tn
appearance of evil you will sool
grow equally careless abou
the evil elf.-lYoung People
Helper.

that the German soldiers are not

TIE city presented q most SOM
bre appearance on yesterday. Every
house along Washington street was
draped in mourning for the illus
trious dead, whose demise was an
nOuncel in the night dispatches of
the 18th inst. Az fart we went
on the rear streets we saw sombre
black draping the doors and gal
leries Of every house. A deep
gloom was settled upon every face
and all seem to think and feel thai
no ordinary calamity had befallen
the country. At II o'clock NJ,
the Court Houre bell commenced
to toll, which was the signal for the
citizens meeting at the Opera
House, called for the purpose Of
expressing some tribute to the
memory of General Lee. The
meeting was largely offended, every
prominent gentleman In the city
being present. The soldiers, sur
vivors Of the Confederate armies
were all out to express their deer
regret at the death of him who had
led them through many hard fought
battles. Gov. Humphreys, the gal
liant old commander Of Ole Of the
best Brigades in the army of North
ern Virginia, presided.
Appropriate speeches were de-
livered by Judge Trimble and Mr.
Booth. Elsewhere, in our paper
we present the resolutions adopted
by the meeting, the substance and
sentiment of which find a hearty
endorsement by every Southern
man In our city.
