ARCADIA OF NEvADA.-Strangers

ARCADIA OF NEvADA.-StrangerS
visiting our city at this season of the
year are almost lost in admiration of
the artificial beauty afforded to their
view. Nature has not done much for
Carson, but the energy and taste of it's
residents have made it justly worthy
of the title of Arcadia of Nevada.
Notwithstanding that "Wiuter linger-
ing has chilled the lap of May" the
rich verdure of the trees, the blossoms
of the shrubs and pretty garden flow
ers contrast tremendously with the
white of the commOdious habitatlons
they partially conceal. Conspicuous
among these is the residence of DIR.
Sharp, at the west end of the city. n
miniature forest almost hides the
house, EMPOWERED with vines; while
groves, arches and Summer houses
display all the beauty of the sylvan
, scene. How refreshing in the parch-
ing heat it would be to recline on the
verdant grass beneath the outrageous
branches of such friendly trees. Nir-
gil must have dreamed of such a place
when he wrote: 'Recubans tn Tytere
patula sub tegmine fagi." The uni
ties are preserved, for the beauty of
the place is even exceeded by the
beauty of its fair denizens, Corydons
may be scarce, but we have Clori>eS,
Daphnes, Amandas, SabrinaS and
~SaccharissaS innumerable. Waller,
Sidney or Thompson never sang the
praises of fairer ladies than may be
seen here. \ visit to the Arcadia of
Nevada will resolve any doubt as to
whether this picture is overdrawn.

ENPENsIvE.-The pamphlet con-
tanning the account of the trial OF
Laura d. Fair is rather an expensive
luxury for these dull times. An an
terpri>ing youth was endeavOring to
organize a club for the purchase of one
this morning, in one of the State
offices, and succeeded in Obtaining
four subscribers; but owing to h i'm
pe~cunio>ity of the club, the book has

this paper. left yesterday for a visit to
Lake .'Boo-hoo.'' CHM has a decided
weakness for the ''pe-lucid" waters
