MONTGOMERY QUEENS 30

MONTGOMERY QUEENS Boss
SHOW COMING. Montgomery
Queen, that p. II. Barnum of the
West, has set his gigantic combina-
ton show in motion for the sum-
mer, and his agents will ere long be
posting their bills hereabouts. He
commences the season of 1875 with
a combination of animal curiosities
that, for variety and superiority,
has never been excelled by any one
Snowman in the United States, and
we much doubt if the combined
caravans of the country could more
than equal it. We speak knowing
ly, having recently attended this
great menagerie and circus in San
Francisco. Giraffe, lions, and baby
lions, trick elephant, tigers, and
other noble beasts too numerous to
mention, and the finest collection of
birds we have ever seen anywhere,
form a part of the exhibition. In
the circus ring, we found Mr.. Chas.
Fish, the champion bareback trick
rider of Europe, and now see that
Queen has effected an engagement
with the eminent Jas. Robinson, his
two sons, seven horses, trained but
falo, monkey and dog-in them
selves a host. Robinson is acknow-
lodged the champion rider of Amer
lea, and will contest the champion
ship of the world with Mr.. Fish.
We shall give due notice of Queens
coming, and can assure our readers
that Queen has adopted the right
name for his immense collection.
1t is the "boss" show of the United
States.

A SAD CASE.-This morning we
interviewed one John Jones, a poor
old cripple of some go years of age.
He was sitting in front of Fletcher
& VOLTS furniture store. In con-
versation he said that he had worked
in the Crown Point mine, but that
he had been stricken with paralysis,
and was then slowly recovering. He
said that in few weeks he expected
to be all right once more, and able
to go to work, but that his wife and
grand daughter had accused him of
laziness and had rendered his home
very hell. The poor old man (he
is over sixty years of age) told his
tale with tears in his eyes, and
seemed to feel his situation keenly.
A job wagon drove up and took
him on board, bound for the County
Hospital. Such is life.-Gotd HILL

THE SPELLING SCHOOL. - The
spelling school on Friday night
attracted a large number of the
scholars of the public school, and
quite number Of outsiders as
spectators. The latter, with one or
two exceptions, did not participate
in the contest for the prize, fearing
to pit the experience of years ont of
school against the fresh memories
of youth. Prof. Cromwell called
the school to order, and Mrs. J. M.
McGinnis, Mr.. Gorham and j. w.
Grier, were selected as Judges.
Miss Ella Jones and Master Willie
Henry were then appointed cap
tains, and in rotation selected their
respective coadjutors. We must
commend each for the confidence
displayed in choosing principally
those of their own sex, as if it was a
preconcerted contest between the
boys and girls of the school. When
the class was arranged, skirmish
began on words of two syllables.
Sloop (misspelled sl0up) brought
down the first victim, and lilac
(liloc, lyloc, lille and lylac) four
more; gnaw and sluice, dropped
two more. Gangrene, annual,
rheum, incite, consecrate, transcend
ed, bewray, claimant, anice, and
gist, narrowed the strife down to the
two chiefs. The contest between
these two was sharp and quite
lengthy, but finally Master Henry
retired from the field on dissyllable,
leaving out an "l," which Miss
Jones picked up, and won the prize
"a handsome silver brick. She
was loudly applauded by her fellow
scholars, and blushingly received
the token of victory from the hands
of Esquire Grier, who presented it
in brief and neatly delivered
speech. We cannot refrain from
complimenting the school as a
whole on the aptness displayed, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Cromwell on the
evidence thus given of their success
as instructors. Mr.. c. announced
at the close that there would be
another trial next week for the
citizens 1--WE will announce the date
hereafter), the proceeds to be do
mated to some charitable object.
The idea is good one, and we hope
to see it successfully carried out.

EDUCATED TAsrE.-How astonish

EDUCATED TASTE.--HOw aStoniSh
ed one becomes as he takes a retrospective
view of the uneducated taste of the ancients,
and traces observingly year by year the in
delible footprints that Progress has left down
the avenue of Time noting each mile stone
on whose lettered surface she has flung aside
her uncouth garments only to don new ones
more BETTING her rapid strides toward per-
feet refinement and perfect civilization;
when in dreamy reverie the nature-lover
watches her magic wand as she rolls the old,
questionable years from under the swift
moving wheels of her golden chariot and
points triumphantly to the unborn centuries
of the future The whole world follows in
her train-casting off the old and putting on
the new. In no particular is this constant
progression more noticeable than in the adop-
ton of dress and drink. The Dry Monopole
and La Perle de la Cuvee is, for instance. the
latest and grandest achievement of educated
taste in the production of champagne. To
the connoisseur it is the wine par excellence,
nectar fit for the gods, and something that can
only be had at the new and elegant saloon of
Dr. Spaulding, So South Street, Virginia
City, the sole agency for Nevada. Our i'm
bibulating editor has just put bottle of it
behind his shirt studs, and sits at our elbow

doubling our salary every two minutes, and

THE gray broncho from whose
hurricane deck the genial Howard
Hill distributes the Enterprise and
TIMES, played his master sad trick
on Friday morning. While stop
ping at Lower Gold Hill, with his
rider dismounted, old gray took to
his heels and the hills, and calling
at the New York House, swung
around Dayton, and finally brought
up in Sutro. His irate master, dur
ing the chase, only got near enough
to get one shot at him, but plunked
that one into his flank, which only
served to quicken old gray's speed.
The papers being in the saddle, their
delivery to subscribers depended on
the capture of the runaway, which
satisfactorily explains the delay of
Friday morning. Hill is now
having an anchor made for that
broncho.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Lyman j. Ray drops Dead over
his Sluices.

Again VIC dlO CdllCu dROh W
chronicle one of those painful and
unhappy events, which so suddenly
and unexpectedly envelops COM
munity in sadness. Death, from
lingering and painful illness, fore
shadows its coming and prepares
all for its grim harvest, but when
the dreaded conqueror comes
stealthily, unannounced, unexpect-
ed, and with sudden swoop of his
dismal wings, strikes down the
healthy and vigorous, his coming
sends chill of terror though the
veins of those he leaves behind.
And it was thus that the announce
ment of the death of Mr.. Ray came
upon our city at an early hour of
Friday morning. The first intima-
ton had of the affair was about half
past six O'Clock in the morning,
when Mr.. John Dunlap went down
to where deceased and himself had
been at work (the fiume opposite
McCone's foundry, and found Mr..
Rays dead body lying across the
fume, The body was on its right
side, the hands crossed, and the face
partially in the water. The corpse
was still warm, and it was evident
that death had ensued but few
moments before. Deceased was
hard working man, and took little
care of his health. At times he
would complain of shortness of
breath, and death is supposed to
have been caused by congestion of
the lungs or heart disease. A Jury
was empaneled by Coroner Lev
ersee, and the testimony of Mr..
Dunlap, Mr.. Jas. Allen, and DR..
Zabriskie taken. The testimony
leaves no doubt that the unfortunate
man died from natural causes, and
the Jury rendered verdict accord
ingly. Mr.. Ray was an old pioneer,
having been on the coast since 1850,
and having mined in this and Storey
counties most of the time for twelve
or thirteen years. He was native
Ct Vermont, and about 80 years of
age. He was member in good
standing of Amity Lodge No. 4,
F. & A. NJ, and was very highly
esteemed by those who knew him,
as man of sterling worth and in
tegrity of character. What more
honorable epitaph can be inscribed
to the memory of man by his
fellows than that which is written
on the hearts of those who knew
Mr.. Ray" He was an honest man."
After the inquest, his brother
Masons took charge OF the remains,
and will to-day, at 2 o'clock P. NJ,
read the Masonic funeral rites over
the body, in Masonic Hall, after
which Rev. Mr.. Hurd, of Virginia,
will deliver a funeral sermon and
officiate at the grave. Deceased was
unmarried, and his only relative
here, we believe, is a brother, work
ing in the Douglas mill.
