NOTES AND QUERIES.

ing, for the MORNING APPEAL, through this
Ouerist, to do justice to the subject matter OF
the great Circus. Time flies, and on to-
morrow this vast attraction will fill the eyes
Of all beholders and awaken admiration
among all classes, sexes and conditions. II
we could easily grappie with this tremendous
theme it wouldn't be as replete with astound-
;nos as no doubt it is. Moreover, the matter
from an anticipative standpoint is just trife
stale We confess no superior stock of full
blown ad ectives in any newspaper office but
We admit that our well assorted catalogue OF
those useful and expressive parts of speech
has already been well nigh exhausted in pres
erce of this most strenuous and exacting sub
iect. Also the bills, those lmitless expanses
of printers paper, ink and wood cuts, are not
these interlarded with the most gorgeous cpl
thets and most comprehensive adJectlves,
adverbs and nounsl How, indeed, shall one
poor pen impart a correct idea OF the vastltude
OF six playful elephants-each beast as big as
woodshed and as frolicsome as an enlarged
kitten? And the lions and tigers of the jun
giles, what remains to be said save to report
in mechanical fashion the jargon Of the books
and the natural historian? AS to monkeys,
Mr.. Darwin has attended to their case in a
manner which leaves no trifing. If what he
maintains is true, it would be simply egotism
and vain Boosting to glorify those agile rela-
tives of the human family. And SO on and
SO on, ad infnitum All the press speak in
the very highest terms of Mr.. Forepaughs
show They say it is all it is advertised to
be. That is saying great deal-more than
gets honestly said for the majority of shows.
In fact the repute of this combined menagerle
and circus is that it IS (next to Barnum's
monster show, the most extensive and COM
prehensive in the United States. Let's all

kers and all the household and freehold. Not
TO 90 the circus is to slide back into the
shades OF barbarism ...... With the taking
down of the circus tents and the clearing up
of its debris come the welcome foreshadow
ings OF the ever welcome opera Carson has
never had an opera season. There have been
some very acceptable presentations of operate
gems upon our stage, but never full opera
with chorus, full libretfo, etc. The Rlchlngs-
Barnard troupe will give two of the most de-
sirable selections-Martha and II Troyatore
1t is needless to say anything in praise of
this troupe-thev come here with first class
reputation and fresh from most successful
season in Virginia City. We congratulate
our townspeople upon the opportunity to take
in a musical treat. The opportunity to Sc
cure reserved seats has doubtless been availed
Of There was q prosecution, conviction
and fning yesterday in Justice Wlthereus
Court - the offense being violation
of the game law, and the offender being
certain dealer in clothing. He had bought
duck of an Indian, contrary to law; and so he
vas hauled up before the magistrate afore-
said and mulcted in the sum of $50. We are

is a better or more effective earnest OF what Is
in store for all violators OF the game law than
lust such prompt prosecutions and summary
convictions as this. Ii the Game and Fish
Club will but keep on in this direction they
will soon cause the existing statute to be res
pected as no game law of this State ever was
before. The interest in the great fandango
still continues Still there is sufficient leisure

no little skill in the playing Of this game.
