NOTES AND QUERIES.

that he will not be able to assist us for day
or TWO, inasmuch his he is going to visit the
city which stands propped upon stills cu
from the sides of the Sierra, over the great
caverns of the Big Bonanza. Now what
makes people whose lives are cast in this pleas
ant and peaceful vale go to such an upheaved
aggregation of discomfort as Virginia City
that high place of sin and depravity faunt its
banners in the sun and heave it's ungodliness
into the circumambient air. We good people
of the quiet lowlands should never venture
into that atmosphere of depravity without a
most urgent demand-such as the collection
of an overdue bill or call to visit the uncon-
verted We feel the force of these reflections
all the more when we think of the deprivation
put upon our readers by the absentation Of
our chief of staff. 80. Yesterday there came
into the APPEAL Office very polite young
gentleman bearing basket, the same contain
ing a very bounteous Offering of wedding cake
and wine, all being accompanied by the
compliments of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. ". Rich
ards, and q written injunction to "drink
hearty" It was with glow of satisfaction
that we accepted this peace offering, and as
the generous wine was finding its quick des-
tination there was many very hearty wish
that Mr.. Richards and his bride might live to
celebrate their golden wedding and attend the
marriage feast of their happy grand; but
perhaps the wines got in this Notist's head,
and is causing him to anticipate. This new
made wife, we have no doubt, is very happy,
as she has every reason to be; and as to him,
he is justly proud of his sweet little bride and
is bravely conscious that Richards himself
again. Some days since in these Ms and
Qs we mentioned the fact that certain enter
prising ladies had a thought of establishing
here kindergarten school. 1t is with much
pleasure that we announce herewith that the
project has arrived at the dimensions of
fixed fact The school will be opened; and
when we say that its protector is Miss Bah
cock and that her efforts have been seconded
by her devoted and energetic partner, Miss
Clapp, those who honor these triles with a
reading will be assuree that the kindergarten
will be complete and gratifying success. We |
attempted something in the way of an expla
nation of the nature af this kind of school |
the other day. We will only add, further,
that the kindergarten bears the same relation
to schools where book studies are taught that
primary school does to grammar school,
grammar school to an academy, and an acad
envy to college. The object and endeavor
is to train the mind to think and to observe
manners toward one another and those by
whom they are surrounded. No child over
six years of age is expected, we believe-tho'
we are not sure on this point The plan is
an admirable one. 1t has been adopted in all
the cities Of the East and finds great favor
among all classes. By this method the little
people have the advantage of getting the right
kind of start before they are launched into
their school days. We congratulate our S
friends that these ladies have been encour- {
aged to venture upon this very important I'M
dertaking. A man of the wilderness came 6
into this Office with his honest but stealthy c
tread yesterday and, after taking steady
look at this Querist, made it known that he
would be greatly accommodated if he could S
have newspaper from g Samp-sisco," con-
tanning an account of "Prick- ems pew q
nal A moments study and the light .
cleaned upon us. Our red friend desired to +
acquaint himself with the particulars of the f
inal obsequies over the mortal remains of the c.
ate Mormon seer, prophet and revelator. So u
We overhauled the waste basket and accom- =,
nodated him. This betokens advancement Il
nd the awakening of an enlightened spirit
n the minds of the sons of the soil. But
here was no mournfulness in this red mans T
manner, and we take it that he was more ii
urious than grief stricken. ...... Again we
efer the reader to the pleasant fact of the o'
ociable at Mr. Bender's this evening 1t is ~
to dwell upon the charming fea- h;
ures of this reunion. All the best people, {"
ii the best ice-cream, all the best lemonade, If
nd the best cheer and joity this side of the IA IA
terra will be there-and all are invited
