Witness-No; of course not. Coun-

Kinder sorter in front. Counsel
Then there was no difficulty in seeing

What do You mean by kinder sorter
in front? Witness-Well, you know
l mean just what I say-kinder sorter
in front. The Court-Explain your
self more clearly, so the Court and
Jury may comprehend your meaning
of "kinder sorter in 'front.'" Witness
May it please your Honor, l mean
just what l have stated-kinder sorter

voice peculiar to himself-Y-e-s, that
-will-do. The testimony being con-
elusive, the case went to the jury,
who, after a brief absence, anne in
with q verdict Of "Not guilty" 1t
Is, therefore. decided that when a man
carries his pistol "kinder sorter in
'front.'" in the State of Arkansas, he can
rock along with lmpunity.
PpER's OPERA HoUsE.-The bur-
lesque extravaganza entitled "Gamal-
zaman was again produced at this
theater last night. The support was
better than OH the previous evening,
and all the principal characters were
rendered admirably. Mile. Bonfanti
and Mons. Novissimo performed their
dances, poses aud pirouettes in q man.
ner that could not fail to excite the
admiration Of all present. Nine.
Marzetti and Mile. Lehman performed
their parts excellently, and Miss Sue
Robinson and Miss Katy Wilson acted
the Prince and Badoura charmingly,
and frequently called forth hearty
peals of applause from the audience.
4 goodly number of ladies were
present, and all seemed highly pleased
with the entertainment. There Will
doubtless be many more in attendance
this evening. The most desirable seats
car be secured without extra charge.
The AI.HAMBRA.-This little theater
is getting to be a popular place Of re-
sort for the boys" We have noticed
10 ladies present any evening as yet.
IL is not 4 very desirable place for
ladies. 1t is not arranged for their &C
commodation. The seats are placed
too closely. Tobacco smoke, too, Is
generally offensive to ladies, and
smoking Is sometimes INDUCED in
freely during the performance. We
cannot recommend it as 4 suitable
place Of resort for ladies. We have
heard no complaint, however, on the
part of the male attendants Of this pop
ular theater. They seem to think they
have seen as much Us they could rca-
sonably ask for the money they paid.
The "Can-can" Is having q big run at
Virginia. 1t is being rendered nightly.
Az Iowa preacher holds forth on Sundays
in u big billiard SALOON, gets his auditors in
humor by opening with a treat instead Of 4
hymn, aud retires with applause by again
calling for the whisky all round when he
winds up lis sermon.-Carson appeal
That's the kind Of preacher John
Farn!lam says he heard at Cheyenne,
sitting aside of q tamarack limb, with
his bar close by. The preaching was
very popular at Cheyenne, and Farm
ham and his travelling friends attended
every time, and joined in the "ameu"
whenever the preacher said: "Simon
says wig-wag.' Bet yer life
BILII.IARD MNrcu.-A match game
of billiards will be played this evening
at the Washoe Exchange Billiard Sa-
loon, Virginia. The match is between
Geo. G. Currie and Billy Brimacomb-
four ball carom game-l,0N points for
$l25 and the champion cue. Bets to
near g, 900, VIC are Informed, have al
ready been taken OH the outside. 1t
seems to be the generally CONCEDED
opinion among billiard sharps that the
game will be very close between the
two players.
ApEIrlu CLUE-LEcTURE.-Hon. A.
y. Fisher will deliver u lecture before
the Adelphi Club, this evening, at the
Methodist Church. Subject-"Educa-
ton" The public is respectfully in
vited to attend. Admission free. Doors
open ut az T.. NJ. Lecture to COM
mence at 5. Thus proclaimeth the
Carson lppeal ofthis morning. Brother
Fisher Is q talkist-and charming"
Is the subject. 4 good many people
in and around Carson should go and
learn something.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. As the
weather and the roads between Gold
Hill and Piper's Opera House have
been very d~isagreeable since the new
season commenced, Mr.. Piper has con-
cluded to give q grand matinee OIL Sat-
urday afternoon, commencing at two
O'Clock, with a fine bill Of perform
ances. People in Gold Hill and Silver
City, who cannot 60 to the theater of
evenings. will have an opportunity to
90 in the day time tomorrow afternoon.
TIE WAsHoE SoNesrERs.-our Cho-
raj Society will attend the grand ball
in San Francisco tonight, and to-mor-
row morning they will go up to Sacra-
mento. In the evening they are to
give q concert for the benefit Of the
Howard Benevolent Society. When
they get home here again, we shall so
to see and hear them when next they
meet to sing; and we shall then know
whether they have learnt anything
new.
DEMoRAIIzED. = The Geographic
wires, posts, batteries, and perhaps the
operators, are just in about as poor and
demoralized 4 condition, this whole
week, as we have known them since
we have lived in Gold Hill. There
seems to be n sort of don't-care-a-dam-
atiycness about the whole telegraphtc
arrangement between here anu San
Francisco, which is not creditable.
Enough to make Satan swear.
CHANGE OF STAGE TIME.-The stages
will hereafter leave Wells, Fargo 81
Co.'S office, in Virginia, at S O'Clock
p. NJ, connecting at Reno with the
trains going east and west therefrom.
A sleeping car will be in waiting for
