HOTEL ARRIVALS,

BUCELEY'> VARIETY TRoUPE.-To-
night Bnckley's Variety Troupe will
make their first appearance at the Car
son Theater and will perform here
three nights. This troupe is the most
complete on this Coast, and embraces
among its performers many leading
stars. For nearly three months this
troupe has been performing in Viz
ginia City to crowded houses nightly,
ana now they have concluded to give
our people taste of their quality.
BY referring to a list Of their adyer-
tised performers, the reader will SEQ
that there is no lack of names of ac-
knowiedged ability, and they will fur
thermore perceive that there is no in
tantlon on the part of the management
to give q first-class show without hay
ing goodly number of performers.
The orchestra of this company is COM
plete; everything connected with it
nfat Class, Or course our little theater
viii be crowded to its utmost capacity,
and those who wish to secure seats can
dose without extra charge.
ASoTHERCHANGE.-Thepl place lately |
occupied by c, s. Mott as a cigar store
IS being torn down, and that portion
Of tho barber shop to the south of it |
heretofore occupied as a boot black |
stand Is also being cut out, the whole |
room formerly occupied by Mott there
by being widsned and a nice little bar
room is to be made Of it, which we I'M
derstand is to be conducted by Will

plished mixologist and agreeable gen.

HUMBOLDT BEEyEs. Travellers PASSING
over the Central Pacific Railroad throurb
humboldt county have, 50 far as we have
ascertained, invariably formed the opin-
ion that the country is desert waste.
incapable Of supporting anything larger
than lizard or horned frog. This con-
clusion is reached from the fact the rail-
road travels the sandy plain, which skirts
the humboldt river from the Big Mead
ows, near the Sink. to Humboldt Wells.
The mountains and foothills, however.
produce nutritious grasses. on which
cattle wax fat. and even the plains in
many places are covered with white SAGE.
which furnishes excellent winter pastur-
age. But in the valleys north grass is
abundant, and large herds of cattle range
In that direction. From these herds San
francisco draws a great part of its winter
beet supply. To illustrate the extent of
this business We give the following fig
tires furnished County Assessor Buckner
by II. l.. Clapp, the train dispatcher
at this station, from the company books.
During the cattle shipping season ending
last March there were shipped from this
station Goo cars Of cattle, which, at an
average of Is head to the car, makes in |
round numbers L., 600 head Of beef cat |
tie. Besides these there were q number |
OF carloads shipped from from Point,
MIL City and humboldt House which |
would probably swell the whole number
shipped last winter from this county TO
San Francisco to 1000 head. At S25
per head. which is under rather than
over the average price Of such cattle. the
business omounts to nearly S400, 00o.--

How Gas IL Made.

1t is very easy to make gas, but it cost

is n sort of gas catcChlsm, which conveys
good deal of important eight on this sub
ject:
"IIow do they make gas:'
First, they put about two bushels of btu
mlnous coal in a long alright retort. Thi.
retori is heated red hot, when the gas bursts
out of il, rs YOU see it burst out of soft Goa
when on the parlor fire. The gas, as j
leaves the coal, is very impure"
How do they purity it?'
First while not II is run off into another
building; then il is forced through long. per
pendicular pipes surrounded with cold wa,

tar condenses from ii and runs down To tDc
bottom of the perpendicular boiler, halt tuli

streams of cold water aIe spurlei through

nasHEUL MANS EXPERIENCE.


Few there are who pass through life
without experience strange or sad,
As saw years ago,
When called gay young lad.
In little country village, once,
To a party did go;
Many folks were present there,
Yet few whom | did know.
Soon we all did join in sport,
And by substituting brass,
| thought might succeed at once,
To win some fair young lass.
/ made myself as social,
And jovial as / could,
To attract the girls attention,
determined that would.
| met fair young damsel,
Who's name / will not tell;
She was the gayest there that night
thought she was the belle.
| spoke to her in gentle words,
As my heart went pittypat;
But courage ! did summon up,
And down by her ] sat.
hardly knew just what to say,
But strove to tell some story;
When her attention did gain,
/ felt all hunkydory.
felt I'd he happy man,
And lead happy life,
IF gay young lass like this,
Would just become my wife.
] thought she was the queen Of girls,
That handsome, fair, young elf;
7 Thought she'd be the source of Joy,
"You know how It's yourself"
I asked if / could see her home,
Kind sir" says she, you may"
We started off, she took the lead,
did not know the way
We logged along the muddy street,
On my arm she did pull;
The throbbing heart within my breast
Felt large as Il pound of wool.
We walked up to the cottage door,
Says she, any home is here;
The light is out and all is still,
They're not within fear"
Thinks ] If this be only so;
II the folks are all away,
III go in and sit awhile,
And be " lord OF all survey"
thought she'd soon become my bride,
AS gave an anxious sigh;
I thought she'd be my fair young wife,
But "'twas all in my eye"
We stepped inside the parlor door;
Out stepped man in his gown,
The lady smiled at me and said,
This is my husband, Mr. Brown"
4 sad emotion then felt
Overcome was | with fear:
When quickly did turn about,
And walked off on my ear.

Don't use too much brass,
Or you'll come out AS did then,
