NOTES AND QUERIES.

SO Worried with stocks, the cares OF State
and the Turko-Russian war as to lead us away
from the calmer thoughts of secular and re-
ligious literary pursuits But we check the
onward sweep of this worldly drift to note
that Brother Jenvey's "Plain Talk Is
timely, and that he deals with the prevailing
spirit of apathy in a manner which ought to
arouse the torpid and give courage and assur-
ance to the perplexed and doubling. He tells
us that eve are each and all our brother
keeper" The local elucidator is fain to
acknowledge the truthfulness of this assever-
alton in his own case. A timely extract from
The Parishioner, of Pikesville, Indiana, lets
us know the true meaning and significance of
the much misunderstood word Catholic. To
repudiate the term and Danish it from the
creed is, we are told, to unchurch ourselves.
Parson Foote has some well-directed hints to
communicates; and Bro. Kelly favors us with
a recital of the Holy Days of May. In the
local items list we find the following interest
ING statement: 1.-The annual election of our
Vestry was held in the church Easter Mon
day The Treasurers report was received.
The election resulted in the choice of Mr.. IL.
F. Rice as Senior Warden, Mr.. S. d. King
Junior Warden, Messrs. d. A. Bender, H.
G. Parker H. B. Bostwick, W. p, Mcintosh,
T. A. Hawley, M. c. Gardner and E. W.
Hillver as Vestrymen for the ensuing year
There were not enough of the Nestrymen
elected to form quorum for the organization
of the Vestry at that time, so meeting OF
the Vestry was called for the evening of
April Ia, at which time Mr. H. F. Rice was
elected Treasurer and Mr.. S. d. King Sec
rotary of the Nestry. $500 In late number
of the Truckee Republican the information Is
given that "Moody & Huntington propose to
run daily line of stages to Tahoe City, con-
Meeting with steamers that ply regularly be-
tween there and Glenbrook, where Benton's
line of stages will leave for Carson and Vir-
ginia Cities, making this direct and most
desirable route for both tourists and travellers.
The road to Tahoe from Truckee is in splen
did condition, and the most careful drivers
are employed by this firm. The steamers
have been remedeled and refurnished and
will make the distance with great dispatch
between points on the Lake" The very
lightest mention in well regulated and con-
scientiously edited newspaper like the
MORNING APPEAL sutfices to bring on the
most momentous results. Our botanical
essay of yesterday morning, Chat relating to
the intrinsic value of flower and garden
seeds), caused large influx of eager Gus
toners into Williss Agricultural and Horti
cultural Sody water Emporium. One China
man with paper bag full of Long Orange
carrot seeds attracted universal admiration.
Also we noticed Farmer Treadway inspecting
with critic eye Orlandos bean-bag We
thought We observed that few samples of
this character of seed found their way,
quietly into the Farmers pocket But We
make no damaging accusation. Far from 1t
. That well-seasoned piece of law leather,
the case of Treadway agt. Wilder, which
dates back to the old red sandstone period,
has Just been revived by a decision in the
Supreme Court 1t goes back for another
(the XLVth, We think) trial in the District
Court 1t bids fair to get itself a name
among the caetSes celebreS hardly second to the
great Mule Case itself . The Treadway-
Wilder case aforesaid is the only one recently
decided that We could learn of yesterday upon
inquiry of Hon Charles Bicknell, the Clerk |
of the said Court. That is to say, the Court
is still mulling and stewing, i'll a judicial land
no doubt judicious) way, over the cases of
Huff and Harrington, lately argued. Even |
the BARRIERS complain of the dulness of the |
times. "You see, says Mr. Muller, "the
transient population is much diminished, and |
then our resident customers find it con-
venient to practice the economy of a weekly, |
in place of a tri-weekly, shave" So it hap
pens that the ceverly- lettered mug with it's
brush and its soap, stand idly in its pigeon
hole six days out of the seven, restful and
lazy-grown Still there is a sort of pleasant
fascination about the operation of an ably
conducted clipping of the too long neglected
hair To watch, in the glass, with one eye
(while the other is closed against accidents),
the working of the busy shears; to experience
the playful tickle of the vagrant ships of hair
as they cling with new and startling fond
ness to ones nose aud cheek; to feel the skill
full fingers as they separate the departing
locks; to experience the cooling relief of the
artist breath as he blows the small shear
ings out of the back of your neck, in swiftly
eddying swirl into your armpit; and at last to
be reassured of the operators friendship by
sozzle and shower from the up
ended bottle of perfumed water with which
he seems to anoint your head as with sort
IF etherealized pepper sauce, this is as CRATE
.ul a procedure as one may frugally enjoy
;hese DAYS of doubt, depression and collapse.
Oh there is many pleasure left to us yet,
f we will but look in the direction where the
sun breaks through the clouds, and if we will
out take unto ourselves the pleasant measure
If the lesser comforts by which we are sur
'ounded and which, unless we unwlsely for
get or relinquish them, are still and always
will be within our reach.
