Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1876-08-04

HzAr.-Yesterday Was a hot day.
When the mercury aspires man per-
spires. This assertion may be the re-
suit of heated imagination. For yes
terday we found no relief in cooling
drinks, nor juicy watermelon nor even in
the mellow mushiness of the musky can
taloup. Every Zone was in a melting
mood yesterday; even those hardened
souls that were insensible to the moon
light strains of the string band and
Bobby Stephens bugle, melted yester-
day and painted for the cool fountains
and shady groves of Panaca. Pity We
poor local who with pencil and paper
VANDERBILT around in ye fervid glare of
ye MONDAY sun in search of ye item that
cometh not. Even the Shoshones and
Piutes partake Of the general apathy
and placidly sleep with upturned faces
on the shady side of majestic sage tree.
OF what avail to the present searcher
after unknown truths is it to tell us
" Yes sir, We seen the time when you'd
have to take the middle of the street for
1t; when if you wanted drink you'd
have to wait your turn" Alack and
alas, We turn and turn and fondly return.
Reminding US OF former crowds maketh
not the present brighter. The faded
flags that feebly flap in the hot breeze
are suggestive of the broiling Centennial
Fourth, and in mercy to the sizzling stars
and sweltering stripes ought to be taken
down. If old Sol has no mercy on us
let US have at least due regard for our
q In Wa II al.
the association of circumstances that
make things pleasant or the reverse; how
nice for instance to see the number
ninety-hve on coin check payable to
our order, and yet how aggravating to
see those brazen little figures on the side
OF the mercury tube as they indicate
nlnety-6ve in the shade. Even the dogs
are still, and the inyigorating cry of
" hi-hi " as the Mormon cur runs up the
street fails to provoke a yelp of defiance;
" scream is iterated and reiterated
but the scream falls on listless ears
and the CONCEALED sweetness goes by un-
needed. Quite hot. yes indeed.
FrRE.-A fire took place yesterday af-
ternoon in a cabin near the back OF the
Catholic Church, mattrass and some
other things being burned before it was
extinguished. How it caught fire is not
known, as it was not occupied during the
day, the owner being away at work. He
returned from work shortly after the
fire was discovered.
PROPOSED AMENpMENT.-We publish
to-day proposed amendment and re.
vision OF the Constitution of the State
of Nevada, in which it is recommended
that electors at the Fall election for
members of the Legislature shall vote
for or against the calling of convention
for the purpose of revising the Constitu.
ton of the State of Nevada.
