MORNING APPEAL.
NOTES AND QUERIES.

schraA house in each of the two wards of the
city, the proposition was here and there idly
regarded as good seed wasted by being sown
on stony ground. But it seems to have
taken root, and pretty firm root, at that; and
so it comes about that at 6 o'clock this even
inc the BOARD of Trustees for this District
will open such bids as may have been offered
in compliance with their advertisement for
propositions to build one of the proposed
structures I'VE infer that the building
mentioned in late local item as being avail
able at the North end has been bargained for
or purchased, thus doing away with the
necessity for constructing a new house in that
quarter). When the new ward school houses
are once fairly occupied, people will wonder
how it was possible that we all got along
without them-sO great Will seem the CON
venience for teachers, parents and children.
1he bids must all be in tonight, recollect
$1,000. These are hot days, and we note that
the sprirkling cart, which goes round with
poster of the picnic of the Carson Turn Verein
cclspicuouely pasted upon its cerulean sides
is gratefully regarded by sweltering citizens
sitting With elevated feet under shady avn
ings, and followed no less gratefully by troops
OF ragged white boys and raggeder ragmuffins
of tie Washoe variety. And, indeed, it is
quite refreshing sight to see that gushful
squirt at its full tide and outpouring, and
even the premonitory driZzle or the final drips
are not BY any means to be despised Indeed
ore appreciates the condition of poor old
Dives, these scorching Moons, and feels like
asking that he might have here and there
wee sprinklihg from the tail piece of that or a
similar assuager of the dust. Speaking OF
the Turner'S and their picnic reminds US to
say that the same viii be, probably the most
rational and heartily enjoyed Of any like party !
OF the present season. The Germans are
built for enioyment-lots OF room--carrying |
capacity; and then they are bred TO it. They |
know how-and that's more'n half the battle. |
Thoreau says that the great mass of mankind
are not fashioned right to religion and that
it takes genius 70 capacitate a man for
god!iness Same with adult enjoyment,
We Yankees labor over it and are afraid
somebody wont think we are good enough to
60 any here, or well enough of in the sub
stantials TO dress as well as the next; and so
we are di5contented, nervous, uncertain
anxious, fUssy and uncomfortable
Also we are slaves to the proprieties and are
afraid of being caught doing something
natural. Now in Germany all mankind are
Ir,l e ~, |
cellar or a brewery. Especially in Bavaria
all distinctions are obliterated in presence OF
King Gambrinius. Lager is the great and
leyeler. And so NIynleer and
Fraulein, when they go for days junkating
sre never bit awkwardiy constrained by
any mawkish customs, but everything is !
hearty and full of cheer and healthful fun.
Moreover, nobody is ever the worse for it,
On the contrary all are very much better
And this is what makes us say what we do
say about the coming Turner's picnic. VIII
bet, in fact, that il Will be q very gratifying
success. . If We were to be personal we
should say that Mayor Belknap is among US,
