Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-09-04
NOTES AND QUERIES.

yesterday afternoon. On the top and sides
was marked in stencil the legend 16 Cavalry
Musketoons. There was no suppressing a
thought of war and fierce alarums and the
neighing of battle steeds One thought of
mounted troopers riding fast, and the hot
tramp of midnight marching squadrons, and
of the charge of old Barclay of Wry
ton Tllys line
And his Walloon ancers."
But our bustling friend John Merle informed
us that it was box of ammunition for breech
leaders, and so the romance of the thing van
ished all at once. But the fact remains that
the Colonel's stock and store of hardware is
the most carefully selected of any in Nevada,
also that his sheet iron, copper and tln-ware
workshop is the best conducted in all these
parts, and also, also, that he is one OF our
most exemplary and substantial fellow cltl-
zens, if General Tom Thumb did beat him
playing Casino Again do we commend
Doctor Butts for his cross walk construction
bureau He was directing his well assorted
energies yesterday toward the rehabilitation
of the crossing which guides the footsteps OF
the weary pedestrian as he meanders tr"m
Alex Leport's saloon over to Mason Bros. es-
tablishment on the opposite corner. When
Carson is finished Tin its system of adorn-
ments), the personal appearance $50 to speak,
of the town itself will be a monument
to this thoughtful and industrious benefactor.
Speaking of Mason's, it was reassuring
l. Itch fcnr1N
barley bag to it's place upon the well cobbed
pile of that cereal yesterday. Here and again
a healthy grunt, however, as is the manner
with many another old gentleman at his work.
But it is good for the digestive economy, is
this sack stacking By the way, no meagre
stock, that of the Masons. just one word
interpolated here for the gossips won't be out
of place: fellow citizen who came in from
the Lake yesterday informed us that he saw
Mrs. Geo. d. Pinney there. This, so far as
it is authentic land it comes very direct to us)
solves the question of that lady's whereabouts.
The bosom of reformation is busy IN and
about the Supreme Court-rooms. A stroll
ND and down the corridors and stairways OF
the Capitol yesterday fetched us face to face
with the cluttersome heaps and piles OF old
law rubbish which has been hauled out OF
rooms and off of tables and shelves and piled
up in the bench broom, preparatory to clean
sing of the walls and floors and carpets of the
chambers occupied by the Justices, 1t Is
surprising what heaps upon heaps OF plumber
Supreme Judge has to dig through and sink
upon and stope up into and blast to pieces in
order to get at an opinion as is an opinion.
Bv the time Judge Beatty and Charley Bick-
nell return from the East all this rubbish will
have been got back into the old cracks and
corners, and the places of last resort Will be
restored to a condition of orderliness. Judge
Hawley having gone below, Judge Leonard
has it all to himself-this housekeeping for
Justices sake. 800. Speaking of Justice, what
fortune lay there, oh habbergasted stocker
Why weren't you nimble enough to get in
again and resurrect your fortunes 10
return to the Capitol-it is worth ones while
to visit the Governors office If for nothing
else than to get that obliging gentleman, Sec
rotary Garrard, to show that monster cen
tennial map issued by the General Land Office
1t is probably the biggest and best map ever
constructed in this or any other country. 1t
shows every surveyed section of land in all
this vast Republic. 49,. Speaking Of tldlness
and square meals, also renovation and the
comfort of the inner man it is with feeling
of self-gratulation that the incoming lunch
eater or the early breakfasteer, or the earnest
and determined diner notes, as he steps into
the salon of the Frisbie restaurant, that the
deft hand of tasteful woman has been busy
at the work of renovation. The old walls
have been made bright and pleasant with a
clean, nice paper; the ceiling is as fresh as
dairy; the floor is like flower bed ESQ bright
is the new carpet), and the atmosphere OF the
place is as sweet as new moWn clover held.
We welcome Mrs. Frisbie back to the realms
Of Epicurus ,. As to some very tooth
some cheese placed before the fellow citizen
who betakes himself to the restaurant just
named, we suspect that it may be had OF
Reinstein & Gibson, family grocers, King
street. That's monstrous nice shop is that
grocery. Also baked beans in cans-they are
to be Endorsed by the judgmatical Yankee -.
Mr.. James Fraser was regularly indicted into
his office of County Treasurer, yesterday.
