NOTES AND QUERIES.

COO air from the mountain tops, ana the
earth surrepders itself to the freshening in
duences of something quite near of kin to
freshness The change is desirable one
The burning sun of our dry summer makes
welcome this recuperative GOODNESS. Very
soon. under the influence of the favoring
night air, hidden springs will begin to flow
anew, even before the autumnal rains shall
have replenished them Gathering clouds
and southern breezes attest the uneasy state
Of the weather and bring us welcome assur-
ance that the needed change is not to be long
deferred. Mother Earth is athirst The sur
prising phenomenon which greets the eye on
all sides is the persistent prosperity of the
sage brush and its companion weeds and
shrubs. Never any season so dry but this all
pervading hardy plant grows green and sturdy
and rank. We know some vigorous new
patches of it which have come up and grown
in verdure and strength, despite the long
continued drouth. Also the rabbit
fourisheth and begins to haunt its flaming
yellow banner in the wind. Meantime all
trees of years roofing are as vigorous and
full of life as if they had been watered by re-
freshing showers, week by week. But rain
is the great need. Health requires good
drenching-for health and comfort-all born
Of cleanliness-are consumed by " the useful
trouble" which comes to us in showers of
water and hail and snow Tighten your
weather strained roofs, neighbors and friends;
for when the storms do come they will find
where the cracks and crannies and loose shin
giles are. We shall have in three weeks time
or less an equinoxial storm, and with it
plenteous dispensaton at the hands of Jupi-
ter Pluvius. We know whereof we speak,
and make no mere loose prognostic in i'm
parting the solid and unequivocal informa-
ton. . Our new County Treasurer, Mr..
James Fraser, was busy yesterday preparing
to enter upon the duties of his Office. He
will be fully indicted to-day, we believe -.
Messrs. Moore & Parker are going to bring
in from their mine enough of the coal to
make fair test of its gas-producing quail
ties at the Carson gas works. Cap n Frank
Halls pet lamb was the .cynosure of all eyes
at the Theater Saloon yesterday. 1t is very
black lamb, excepting where it is a white one
which is III spots. The fleece suggests pre- |
vius condition, so tightly does it curl. There
is very great development of tail which is
very club-like, also woody. Has penchant
for ripe Bartlett pears, has this lamb
and there is a convenient pile of that pleas
ant fruit hard by, at the stand of the Broth
ers Perasich. But for the. well timed warn
ing voice of this watchful scribe, that lambs
stomach would have been dangerously over
laden with that expensive fodder, yesterday
No thanks, gentlemen, we merely did our
duty as a citizen. ..... When you make
clothing store your loafng place and eat ap-
pies there, fling your cores and Feelings on
the chairs and other sitting places, without.
There is remote percentage of chance that
some sitter will thereby be brought to need
q new pair of pantaloons of Boskcovitch or
Joe Platt or some other person in
the ready made way. We were reminded
TO say this by seeing Commissioner Willis
throw the remains of pear into chair in

never saw a better shot; but is this the
proper course for county father to pursue?

ali events he will be half of mine host Yves.
George will be the other half. They will be {
quite as near the State Prison as any man S
may conveniently and safely domicile himself; {
but the baths will be equally near on the !,
other side OF EN-, and they will stand pat in

nights, fairly patronized these dull times, is !,
IN earnest of what we are disposed to do u
oward sustaining the lyric drama, 1t may a
2e set down that the patronage thus bestowed P
IS the minimum; for these are our hardest
times. Always a good showdown, Carson
has done very well indeed by these trouba- O
doris. 1t is to be said, in dead earnrst, that O
he Richings Bernard troupe have earned the D
7ery highest opinions of our music loving folk fl
and it would be difficult to find anywhere Il
IN this coast more discriminating conlmu- :,
lity (of its numbers) than this. Most decid-
dly this is a musical people. So we take
leasure in saying to our contemporaries ev- II

God word to this first class troupe. Possibly k
