Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-06-12
NOTES AND QUERIES.

Is so far away. Under the benign ana frucGl-
fyifu influences of this delightful weather our
fellow bankrupts inger in large and lazy
SQUADS about the outer edge of sidewalks and
there spin Herculean yarns about their e1-
periences Says the Barrister, & recollect,
Sir in Marysville, many years ago, of seeing
the thermometer stand for days and days at
4 hundred and ten degrees, Fahrenheit, in
the shade" The complimentary murnur of
wonderment went round, i'll q somewhat
feeble but still quite audible tone. Well,
| tell you what it is, gentlemen, says the
Federal official, would very much prefer the
experience of a hundred and ten in the shade
III Carson, to ninety III San Francisco.
Why Z" queried the Land Office man,
" Because the oppressveness Of ninety IN
San Francisco, double discounts the heat of
hundred and ten in Carson, was the re-
spouse. 50 1t is the altitude. That settled
it. Altitude and Electricity and magnetism
are your thoroughbred knockdowners This
kind of droning talk became very monoto-
nous, at length. Then uprose William Riley,
the Scribe, ana says William, says he, ire
peating John Phoenix well constructed fable,)
"When | lived at Bidwels Bar | saw the
thermometer stand for three weeks at one
hundred and eighty seven i'll the shade, dur
ing which time the hens laid hard boiled
eggs" " That is fact, exclaimed the man
with the Iron Jaw, " for l have one of those
eggs in my possession at this time" "And,
gentlemen" began this last speaker, " | re-
member" - but here the crowd by a sinful
taneous movement folded their tents like the
Arabs and left the man with the Iron Jaw
with his anecdote still sticking in him, with
dim and dismal prospect of delivery. Some
how great stories sweat out of the human
reservoir, as il were; and hot weather breeds
EN- as it breeds comlier as we'll as less pleas
ing things We think we can understand
now why it is that the natives of the torrid
zone have so great proneness to falsehood
1t takes an effort--a constant effort ike that
which is the evident and gratifying reward Of
the MORNING APPEAL to tell the truth; and
when Sirius reigns it is hard to make the |
requisite exertion. We ascribe our own ca
pacty for answering truthfulness to the |
cooler temperature of the moderate zone ope
rating upon natural gift for rectitude and |
probity of very high order. We are merely |
calling attention, with embarrassing diff
dence and painful backwardness, to ques-
ton in physiology and true inwardness. We
think we can understand what it was that
made it impossible for the Father of his
Country to utter an untruth. Probably
he had never been vaccinated 1t is greatly
to be regretted that our play-goers were
denied ali opportunity to hear the Troubadors
There was some misunderstanding with re-
card to the hall. The Carson Guards have
the place engaged regularly, for Monday
night drills. Ii was enormously represented
to the IrOubadors management, that the
Guards would not give way We understand
that, on the contrary, they were quite willing
to give up the hall for that occasion--ast
night being the only one that these artists
could be here. Our Virginia contemporaries
and all those who have seen these people are
very enthusiastic in their praise A special
party OF ladies and gentlemen went to Reno =
last evening to witness the performance given {
lneTt ny Lhls troupe. " men there Is
chance for first class entertainment here it i
IS great pity that any misunderstanding :
should prevent our having the chance turn in I
our favor. 1t did our heart welcome I
boon, yesterday, to look upon the judiciously {
form of our very estimable and .
