Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-10-12

of resentful entanglements and malignant sus
picions ever heard of Now we know a mar
(by sight) who would make frst-class villain
He may be the honestest man in the Great
Basin, but his hair grows very black and very
low down on his forehead; his eyes look al
you with cold, steady, cruel glare from un-
der black, bushy eyebrows there is an IN
natural lump on his rear hind quarter which
suggests great big dragon pistol Though it
may be nothing more harmful than meer-
schaum pipe and tobacco bag), and he lives
on a street wherein are said to have been seen
some midnight scoundrels of the amalgam-
stealing sort We think we could make the
blood of some susceptible people run up and
down their spinal column in a very cold streak
by following up the lead of this First Villain
and serving him up with all the possible gar
nishments of melodramatic fendishness. And
oh, the deep drained dregs of depicting devil
ment deposited during the diurnal dispense
lions of demoralized Senate and Assembly
Fancy the ford fulminatlons and fiery flavor
ings of a fostering lobby; follow through the
temptations, vexations and twistifcations of
Special Committee, braced and screwed to-
gether and stayed and counter stayed in the
interest of worldiness and sinful ambition the
possible hero, the Young Heir Law, limited
at above What might one expect to see left
of him, his virtue, his cleanliness, his purity,
his wallet and his good clothes Oh! but the
are here my fellow fabricators; are
here Just as the weeds and the housefies are;
Just as passions and loves and hates are every
where just as there are little sins and big
sins, holy aspirations and sordid aims, grand
eur and meanness, splendor and squalor
and always where men and women
FATHER together and scheme and strive and
push and struggle and live and die Shall
mischief maker come among us and set us by
he ears or shall our own Novel be carefully |
guarded so that it may not hurt where |
t should only amuse so it will en-
ertain for harmless hour, and not embit-
er for all future days; so it shall emulate the
;entle satirist and not copy after the cruel
PRACTICES of the vivisector We shall see
What the days may bring FORTH but this is
lot prospectus nor yet promise. We have
he right of speculation in our own resources
nd it is our affair if what we venture is lost
..... What makes boy always slam door2
omethingi in the peroration way may be annihi
lted by an untimely slam and an accompany
1g jump and thump and screech. Boys
idn't used to be SO bad when you and 1 were
oys-did they, neighbor2 When we went
ut of door we held the latch with thoughtful
ripe until the exit was fully made, and then
le final closing was done with charming
entleness. Then we (all of us) moved on
'ward our well-ordered amusements with a
I'm and steadyp pace; and we never screeched!
here were never any dirty faces then, never i
ny torn jackets, never any letters in the
ostofice. No boy ever played hockey then,
Or stole apples nortraded jack knives. When
oys wanted to go a swimming they used to =
