brious picture of a couple of towns in
Stanislaus county:
Still the work of dismantling $50 TO
to speak the once flourishing towns Of
Tuoiumne and Paradise continues. 1t
Is hard to tell which of the two places
now wears the most gloomy and dis
NAL appearance. Once they were
rivals, struggling for the lead In trldc
and wealth; now each is only shadow
Of its former self. Their ~wrangling
and heart-burnings have ceased. The
greater portion Of their inhabitants,
aud even houses. now swell the num-
bers Mt tho new town OF Modesto. As
one walks through the now quiet
streets of Tuolumnc. he misses the
familiar c%ountenances of many who
once met his gaze. Even the buildings
no longer occupy their former places.
Parts of whole blocks have diSap-
pearcd here n business house gone,
there another, causing the streets to
present much tho appearance of 4
cross cut saw with the i'anges broken.

Tom MnKuiro
returned from the Atlantic States yes
terday in charge Of n minstrel troupe,
with which lie intends to inaugurate a
new scason at the Opera House. 1t
was generally thought that his mana
gerial lite had been brought to a close,
but lie seems fSsolyed to continue it
until the end of his earthly lease. The
effect of closing the underground me-
lodcon dtns OH kearny street will re-
suit In n large accession of business to
the second-class houses, and If Mcguire
reduces his prices to q reasonable rate
he may do very well during the winter
months. The melodeon cellar proprie-
tors intend to make q desperate fight
before %succumbing to the law. If these
establishments arc permanently closed
three hundred men and women Will
be thrown out of employment. They
arc principally those who have driftcd
down through drink from tho higher
to the lowest strata Of professional
life, and 1t will be almost impossible
for them to procure fresh engagements.
Tie Walking Women.
The two walking women, who have
been walking for $500 aside, continued
their pedestrianism until early ycster,
day morning, when the contortionist
gave in, after having kept Oh her feet
for ~sixty-three hours. A large amount
of money was staked on the result, the
loser being the favorite of the fancy.
George IEoEe,
the notorious desperate, who within
the Inst two years has been allowed to
commit all the crimes in the calendar
with perfect impunity, has been AT
length brought to trial. If public
attention had not been so pointedly
directed to him, and the public press
made such 4 clamor about the favor lie
received, it is pretty certain that the
officers OF the law would have done
little to insure his conviction. As 1t Is
he "went up" on the charge Of assault
to do bodily harm.

8 DAY.

The President Of the United States
and the Governor Of Nevada have Issued
their usual Recommendation to the
people, setting apart tomorrow as the
traditional day to observe as an occa-
sion Of Thanksgiving and praise to the
great Author of tho Universe for his
manifold mercios to W., his unworthy
children. BY many this good day will
be observed in the truo spirit intended,
appropriate to It's observance and In
accordance with time honored custom,
assembling In their accustomed places
of worship and devoutly joining with
their brethren In heartfelt thank'giv-
Ing and prayer to God. Others again
and by far the largest class-will re-
gard 1t as simply q time honored hol-
iday ; a day Of recreation and relief
from the usual life routine Of business
cares and labor; n day Of social home
pleasures and family reunion.
Gathered together In the home circle
around the annual feast of turkey,
plum pudding and other good things,
will be those who thus meet each other
but once n year. The brother from
his business in the city, the sister from
her new home In the country, the
grand children, the old parents, there
they sit happily and thankfully side
by side Are there mono missing? Is
there 10 vacant chair? ALI! this Ia n
kindly. soul warming old custom, be-
queathed to us by II genial old an
cestors, and the true and appropriate
observance Of Thanksgiving Day, ever
retains with 1t happy, cheering mem
cries Of past joys, and we'll remem-
bered friends and scenes Of other days.
1t Is an evil man. evideatly, who
has to always.be getting down OIL his
knees and asking pardon Of God for
the many wickednesseS he Is contin-
ually committing, yet 1t is a good man
who does his best to act right in this
world and IA duly thankful for the
blessings he ever enjoys. Doubly
blessed Is he who truly loves his fellow
wan. Then, let even US here In the
land Of sagebrush, DO duly thankful
for what blessings and favors of Prov
idence fall to our portion; that we
are blessed with a pure, free atmos-
phere, consequent good health and
strength, and that IL young commu
nifty and State fiourishes ~ well rs the
best. Starvation and want abide not
among US, but there Is food, clothing
aud comfort for all ; all are rewarded
with that just degree Of prosperity at
tcndant upon well directed endeavor.

day, one hundred and one years ago, was
