Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-06-05
NOTES AND QUERIES.

We were reminded of the pliocine era
yesterday, by the presence here of that rem
nanl of an age of the purest and best, D.
Otherwise Addison, P NJ of Virginia City.
He bears his years with surprising aptitude
and solemnity We are reminded by seeing
him that in a less beautiful age they made
postmasters of different stuff; men who
looked less like a respectable postage stamp
than he ; men who had no sticky side for
letters, as it were men who were of the
stiff attributes of a post mOrtem gaunt and
hungry men, who were late at their mails
men who had been dropped and stamped and
had no wafer to get along in this world.
Hangs to it, does the old gentleman; and
looks dreadful well for Federal office
holder, 1t is needless to say that we are
very glad to wrestle with his honest palm
He is welcome to Elsinore g.. Our old
friend Mr. Rose is in from Bodie He has a
good opinion of that district Persons IA
miliar with the history and workings of the
V. & r. Railway, will remember Mr.. Rose
with pleasure The pillar of cloud of
smoke which doomed up ON our southern
horizon on Sunday was the sign and token OF
the fire which consumed Mr.. Averills barn,
on the lower Clear Greek road Some agri-
cultural implements were burned There
was a modicum Of insurance on the premi-
SEES June is doing remarkably we'll for a
Young, unaccustOmed month. 1t really
takes or a summerish fashion as If 1t were
used to the sage brush and had had long ex-
perience of the rabbt-weed and grease
wood We feel like offering it the welcome
of an old-timer We wish, involmtarily,
that it had some jobwork or some advertis-
Using to do and to pay for; but we
are not disposed either to withhold the
gratuitous need of praise or visit it with any
of the harsh possibilities of malversation of
the editorial office Indeed, we think that
June, considering its homage and mexperl-
.nce, should be treated with quite as much
consideration as if it were as ripe as October
or as vrtuous us February .. The mails
were detained on Sunday by cave i'll one of
the tunnels of the Central Pacific Railroad
But We noticed that the engineers and con-
ductors took the accident with all the calm |
philosophy Of a train dispatcher, and that |
there seemed to be a Christianlike resignation |
to their fate on the part of the telegraph ope
ratOrs. The human mind accommodates it
self to the straits of circumstances with great
;llacrity and a surprising aptitude. ...,. We
noticed Senator Sharon and some friends of
hir steering lakewards yesterday. The Sugar
pine point of the observation is in the inter

Thumb seemed to enjoy the summer breeze
on Sunday When he had quit small
discussion and had been stood up along
side a handsome little boy of six,
he said he was three feet fonr We think he
lrevaricated. 1t seems cruel to deny few
inches to as helpless a celebrity as Mr..
5trattOn, but We would sell him short We
hink he is disposed to brag of his hight and
o give himself more inches than Gunter
would stand We are personally responsible
