The old cabinet in Scribners for December
has the following encouraging words for the
lovers of art: There were never so many
artists and art-students in New York as there
are this winter The older mon who have
been here for years and the new men who
have Just come back from their studies, now
find in New York something of the "art-at-
mosphere" whose absence has been hitherto
deplored. A Munich master said not long
ago that in the course of twenty-five years
German art-students would be going to New
York to be taught painting. He based his
prediction upon the extraordinary ability of
the young Americans at work in Munich,
The Eureka Sentinel began its fourteenth
volume last Saturday. The sagacious manage
ment and judicious course gifts editor n-chief,
Mr.. Cassidy, have combined to make its opin-
ions respected and its dealings with questions
of public policy instructive and wise. We hope
the Sentinel may achieve long life and wide
spread influence.

THE LlLIPUTIANS

There never was, since the days of the

performance as that which will be offered to
the play-goers of Carson, this evening Here

folk who are in his train are like as if fairy
land had come again. These mites tackle the
eight-foot giant and bind him and whack his
head off, a la Jack of the beanstalk. To de-
scribe such show were an impertinence.
To doubt that every man, woman and child

see this show would be idiocy. Get you

E TWINS AND CIGARS.

Ordinarily there would not seem to be any
special connection between the fact of twins
and the purchase and presentation of a box of
cigars. But there would be no precedents if
there never were any innovations or expert
ments Nothing ventured nothing had. Mrs
George W. Kitzmeyer presented her leige
lord with a brace of babies on Sunday morn
ing. When they grow up past their A, B abs
they will be interested in learning the date.
1t was December 2, 1877, in the early part of
the day. The one which is not boy is a GIRL
and vice versa. Nothing could better prove
the capacity of Mr.. and Mrs. Kitzmeyer for
the duties of full and useful citizenship. The
census is thus handsomely augmented. As to
the cigars, Hon. Jacob Tobriner of the Sixth
Nevada Legislature brought them. That is to
say the good tidings and the Havanas. We
are very much gratifed. We wish EN- trip
let's, next pop. The usual custom is to afix
the remarks to the announcement. 1t is our
pleasure to reverse the order of exercise:
BORN
In Carson City, Nevada, Mrs. Geo. w Ktzmeyer, of
twins: boy and girl. Sunday December 2, 1877
P. S.-Mr. Kitzmeyer came into the AP-
PEAL office last evening and desired it to be
said that there was a mistake. The fact is,
it is only girl-not twin girls, but only just
one So this girl will have to stand for her
self and her brother too.

John G. Fox has returned from his bust
ness trip to San Francisco. On his shelves
and counters are already accommodating many
new books. Among these are handsome
editions of the poets, good number of
children's books, many volumes of stories,
and a further invoice of the seemingly ex-
haustless vest pocket series. Johns Holiday
goods are on the way-his new lots of Jew
elry, watches and silverware. The display
will be very fine.
IMPRov1NG.-On Saturday the condition of
Judge Beatty, senior, had so much improved
that his son felt justified in leaving his bed
side and returning home. He arrived here
on Sunday morning. The old gentleman is
made of sterling stuff and we are encouraged
to hope that he will weather the storm.
SAD NEws.-Mr. Otto GREENWOOD received
a telegram from San Francisco yesterday to
the effect that his father was seriously sick.
This announcement was soon afterwards fol-
lowed by another that he was dying. Thus
summoned, Mr.. Greenwood took the cars

Found DEAD.-The Carson Valley News
has the following account of the finding of
the dead body of an unknown man: A man
whose name was unknown to our informant
was found dead in an irrigating ditch in Lit
Antelope Valley few days since The &C
count that we have, is, that few days pre-
vious to the finding of the body, drunken
man had asked and was granted permission to
ride on load of hay being hauled in the di-
rection he desired to 90. After going some
distance the driver MISSED his passenger, and
went back, but found his companion too drunk
to travel. He then went back to his wagon,
got some blankets and covered him up and
went on, thinking that the fellow would soon
sober off and 60 on his way. A body, sup
posed to be that of the man alluded to has
been found in an irrigation ditch as above
stated with his head and shoulders under
water, and not far from the place where the
teamster describes having last seen him. We
have been unable to learn any name.

That statement in this part of the MORNING
APPEAL of day or two since to the effect
that some parties in New York (or some other
Eastern city, had telegraphed to the Carson
| CITY Savings Bank to know at what price
bonds of this State could be purchased, was
an instance of hitching the cart before the
horse. What was sought to be known was
what price the State authorities would pay for
Nevada bonds and how big a lot they would
take. The answer was that premium OF
eight percent would be paid and that at that
rate ten thousand dollars worth would be re
deemed. 1--WE believe this is correct, but we
hope it is not; for we should be glad of an
opportunity to be corrected and made the
needed amendment.)

ing the work Of breaking camp vas COM
menced aud all the lodges near the agency
buildings were moved TO one general camp
near the mouth Of the Little White Clay,
from which point the grand move WAS made
to-day. There does not appear the least
dissatisfaction among any Of the numerous
bands which have been stationed here, and
all are apparently happy at the idea of .
change. All day to-day Red Cloud agency
has been hustle and excitement. Every
available wagon has been loaded with goods
either by the tenders or the military. Two
companies Of the Sd cavalry, under COM
mand of Capt Lawson and Lieut. Cumming,
started on their long journey at noon, in
tending to go only a few miles, when they
will camp and await the movement of the
wagon trains, which will probably be under
full Roadway tomorrow. There is no an
ticipation Of trouble with the Indians on the
road, and, although it is getting late in the
fall, . good journey is expected. Nothing
OF an unusual nature has occurred since the
return ofthe delegation from Washington,
and had transportation been available, the
move would likely have been we'll under
Roadway ere this.
Two thousand head of cattle were deliv-
cred here to day by Messrs. j. w. Boster
e. Co, for issue to Indians on the road. The
same number will be delivered at Spotted
Tail tomorrow. The Indians of Spotted
Tail agency will not move for several days
yet; aud although some of the northern
bands made objections to the move At frat,
they appear to have %reconciled themselves
to it as inevitable. The officials do moi
fear any trouble from them, nor that they
may start for the north, az some say they
are apt to do. A. ID. Yates and J. w. Dear
the two traders at this agency, are moving
their entire stocks of goods along with the
Indians, and expect to put up temporary
stores wherever the winter camp may be

have particulars it appears that number
Of women were carried from the arbor to
tents, in very excited state, and that after
being placed in the tents where the children
were, these tragic scenes were enacted
Our latest information is that two of tho
children were killed almost instantly, while
the third one is alive, but with its back bro
ken and many other bodily injuries it is
expected to die. This place, Steele Hill,
was the scene of some ugly rioting during
camp-meeting there one year ago, and we
think it is now time for some legal proceed
ings to be instituted against somebody.
