TIE GREAT CARNIvAL To-NIGHr.-
This night the grand carnival mas
querade, inaugurated by Professor Fa-
RIM, and for which such elaborate and
extensive preparations have been made,
takes place al thletic Hsll, Virginia.
We visited the hall this morning, and
found q strong force Of workmen en-
ployed in completing the details of
decorations and trimmings for the oc-
casion. The ceiling is beautifully fin
ished up in red, white and blue, and
other gay colorS, while the walls are
also adorned with flags, mirrors, pic
lures, etc.,in luxurious profuSion. The
band Is tho best procurable. and the
music composed for this peculiar occa-
sion by Professor Pasmore Is said 10
be splendid. We have been favored
with a sight at several Of the choicest
costumes and masks, under promise OF
strict secresy. therefore we will not
anticipate, except in saying that there
will be some very rich as we'll as some
very funny arrangements in that line
among the thronged masquers of that
festive scene tonight. Those who fail
to be present will miss the greatest
t~erpsichorean treat Of the season.
MAGNIFICENT PREsENT.-On eXhib-
ition at Rosener's well-known dry
goods store, Virginia, is a magnificent
"point applique" lace shawl, to be
rallied for New Years Eve-neXt Sat
urday evening. 1t is put up at $500,
there being 100 shares at s. each.
Whoever may be the fortunate winner
of this rich prize will have a splendid
New Years present for themselves,
wife, sweetheart or lady friend. 1t IS
n very fine and elaborate piece Of
work, evidently taking somebody a
long. tedious time to make it, and is
well worthy the inspection of the Curl
Ous, or admirers Of beautiful work.
Over half the chances are already sold,
therefore the rattle is sure to take place
ut the time specified. Who will win
this $500 shawl for So?
The GATHERING OF Il CLANS
The various delegations Of Senators
and Assemblymen, to compose the
coming Legislature at Carson, are fast
gathering in from outside localities
Many are already gone to the State
CAPITAL, while others linger interest,
edly about the classic precincts of Nir-
cinia and Gold Hill. Most Of these
honorables look respectable and fully
up to the average of intelligence.
Their noses are also generally not
much roster than other peoples. On
the whole they look about rs well rs
the ordinary run of Nevada legislators.
But let us not anticipate; BY their
deeds shall WI know them best.
EGG-NoG.-On Christmas morning
the host of the Bank Exchange, in
Gold Hill, presented his usual annual
compliments to the editor of the NEWS
in the shape of a pitcher Of most deli
clous egg.nog. a bottle Of sold rye"
a bottle of ''apple jack" and n bottle
of golden sherry. We believe this Is
about the seventh Christmas that our
genial old Democratic friend has thus
COMMUNICATED us. May he live long
and prosper; and rs he still keeps the
best of beverages at the old Bank Ex-
change, our Republican and Demo-
cratic friends can know exactly where
to 60 for a good drink when they need
one
Jack SuEPpARp.-This indomitable
walker 1. stopping at Virginia for the
present, where he is AFFLICTED with the
fever. Jack finds these long walking
exploits Of his telling rather severely
upon his constitution. His walk OF
lilo hours at Virginia crippled him
with the rheumatism for n while, and
now this walk Of Jog hours at Carson
has given him a fever. Two such
walks within two or three weeks loi
each other are enough to kill the desil.
'ither one would be the death Of any
ordinary man.
