ABOUT CUR DEAF, DUMB AND Blind
The Carson Appeal Of the 30th ult. says:
Last night Rev. 5. P. Kelly, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, left for
Oasland with two deaf mutes in his
charge. Their names are Joshua Willets
of Ormsby county land William Mcclure
OF Humboldt. Mcclure has been three
years at the Asylum there and Willets
two. Mr.. Kelly informed US yesterday
that he will endesvor while there to
make arrangements for the admission
into the Asylum of a lad named Shosf,
of Virginia City. The condition of our
deaf, dumb and blind wards is not a
credit to our State. Just as is the case
with our insane, We are obliged to de-
pend upon the sufferance of the Cali
fornis authorities or Of private Asylums
there. The Deaf, Dumb and Blind
Asylum at Oakland is a State institution
II is presided over by Professor Warning
wilkinson. The deaf, dumb and blind
children of this State are admitted there
at the rate of $500 per annum. If the
Asylum furnishes clothes, $50 extra is
charged. The inmates are taught to
read and write, and are instructed in
trades and gardening. The authorities
are very loath to admit our applicants
upon any terms. Now it seems to US
that We ought TO do better than this.
Nevada ought to take care of her own
insane, her own deaf and dumb and her
own blind. We have depended upon
California quite too long. These IN
fortunates could be taken care of here
with much less expense than in Califor-
nia-the cost of transportation taken
into considerations-and they could have
very much more attention bestowed upon
them here than there. We hope to see
something wise and effective done con-
corning these matters by the next Legis-
lsture.
CAMPAIGN FLAG.-We received letter
from Carson on Sunday last, giving an
accoun, of the unfuring of Democratic
campaign flag just received there from
the East, and hung out between the
State Capitol and Thomp. Winston
saloon. The size of the flag is twenty.
FIVE by twenty feet, manufactured in
Philadelphia at cost OF between two
and three hundred dollars. The ground
of the flag Is network, on which are
worked the words democracy and Re-
form with two banners worked under
these words. Under the banners is the
American shield, marked pride of Ameri
ca, 1876. On each side of the flag are
the portraits of Tilden and Hendricks
with the words. For President, Samue
j. Tilden, for Vice President, Thomas J
Hendricks. The letter also says tha
Ellis the nominee for Congress. is tn,
