expressed for the firm of Rice Peters They could no

The foregoing is from the Carson Tribune
of last evening. The reference to the failure
of Messrs. Rice & Peters is just and true.
There is widespread sympathy for those
gentlemen, and, as we said yesterday morning,
not any blame is cast upon them. The fur
Their reference to the concern which col
iapsed early in the year" doubtless is meant
for Kelly 4 Hofer. 1t seems to us that such
reflection is I'M Just, wantOn and cruel III the
extreme We do not believe that their fail
IRE was any the less the result of overwhelm-
ing disaster than the later one. We know
that these gentlemen and their friends feel
most deeply their misfortune we know they
are absolutely bankrupt and without any salv-
age from the wreck and we know that these
cutting illusions by our neighbor are most
keenly felt In this period of general ruin
and distress it seems to us that it is the better
and wiser as it certainly is the kindlier and
more generous part, to refrain from all such
harsh and damaging comments as these that
are INDUCED in by our neighbor across the
Square.

There is a free eating house on North B

hash are freely dispensed. The institution is
sustained by small contributions given by
business men, 1t is presided over by two
charitable ladies, Mrs. Beck and Mrs. Mat

charity would be productive of much relief,

THE Crown POINT BRIDGE. are in
formed by yesterdays Enterprise that work
men are still engaged on the bridge of the
Virginia and Tluckee Railroad Company over
the Crown Point ravine The sidewalk for
the accommodation of foot travellers is being
put down. 1t is being built about twelve feet
below the railroad track, and will be finished
to-day. At each end of the bridge notices
bearing the words Danger don't cross the
bridge" are placed conspicuously, but people
do not pay any attention to them. Several
persons have narrowly escaped being run over
by the cars, 1t is the intention to tade out
all the upper timbers, including the stringers,
straining- beams and braces. Many of the
stringers are twisted all out of shape, and the
snow and rain have caused some of them to
rot in their Joints. The timbers will be taken
off part at time, and as nothing can be done
upon the work except at night, 1t will take
nearly two months to finish the job.

The Most Formidable War Vessel Atioat

The Scientific american gives this 40.
count of the "Alarm," new war vessel
constructed by the Government:
We have also constructed one torpedo
| vessel which Is probable the most formids
BILE craft afloat (not excepting the Italian
ironclads with their 100 ton 9uns), and 10
time Of war will form the model for feet
of like steamers. This vessel 10 the Alarm,
and In the annexed eDgravings we represent
all that we are permitted to make publicly
known relative TO her construction.
The Alarm, We should premise by ex-
planning, does not fight according to any
established rules Of naval tactics. Having
sighted an enemy-ssy at night-ber com !.
pound engines drive her headlong at him
at the rate of fifteen knots an hour. As che
nears him, the immense electric light on
her bow flashes out it's glare, binding her
adversary to her own hull (which is already
sunk SO low that her deck 10 but three feet
above the sea), while displaying his every
proportion. The roar of Der Is inch gun, az
the attacked vessel, is followed by the
crash of the bow spar torpedo striking the
devoted craft thirteen feet below the water
line. Then, perhaps after a nom tary
check due to the torpedo recoil, the Alarm
plunges forward, driving her immense
ram into her adversary crushed side. As
che swings broadside on to her foe, another
torpedo spar shoots out from her side, and
another torpedo is exploded under the I'M
guarded bottom of the enemy; while the
machine guns on the torpedo boats rail
keep up deadly fire of thousands of bull
let's per minute, sweeping her opponents
decks. We need scarcely add that the
Alarm ia a dissgreeable craft for heavy
ironclad Zone like the Vanguard, for in
stance, which went down like shot on
being slightly rammed) to encounter. She
is well provided with defensive means.
Her length is 172 feet, of which 81 feet
is snout or ram; her beam is 81 feet 6 inches
and she draws III feet Of water, dis-
placing about 700 tons. She is built of
tn )roughly tested charcoal iron, aud on
case of rupture of both shells at any point,
it would still be impossible to fill the entire
ship with water. The side plating is not
thick, az it is not intended for armor, the
vessel as already explained, being almost
wholly submerged while in action.

The MOVEMENT FOR THE REVIVAL OF
THE GRFGoRIAN CHANT. - Recognizing
the religious simplicity aud beauty of the
Gregorlan Chant, and beholdipg the ne
elect into which it's study has fallen, q
number of the clergy and laity of New
1.-THE Society of St. Gregory" for the pur-
pose of fostering love for the chant, of
promoting its study, and of securing it's re.
admission into those churches whence it
has been wrongfully banished. As q revi-
val of the study ia fast taking place in
many countries in Europe, we feel en-
couraged to believe that under the auspices
of this society, approved as it is by most of
the members of the American hierarchy,
our country men will not be backward 10
giving it their serious attention. We are
told, in a circular sent Us by the founders
of st. Gregory Society, that the annual
subscription for membership of regular
members who are clergymeu, choir N asst
ers, organists, presidents of musical con-
servatOries or societies, is one dollar. For
men and boys, members of any church
choir, conservatory or musical society, and
for associate members, the annual sub
scription ia twenty-five cents. The chief
purpose for which the fund accruing from
the subscription of memb ers will be ex-
pended is the formation of q library.
Works both theoretical and practical on
the Gregoriau chant abound in Europe, of
which little is now known here. 1t is
desirable to have these books within the
reach Of all regular mem bers who desire to
make such studies of the Chant as are
necessary to secure it's proper execution.
Any one desiring to become a member may
DO SO by sending his name to Rev. Alfred
Young, C.S p. West Fifty ninth street, N.
Y. city, or to Rev. Ignatius Trug, o. S. B :,

4 GEoGRAPIcAL MAMA IN france.

It is amusing to see what q rage there is
at present among the French people for
perlectiDg themselves even in minute geo.
graphical kDowled e. 1t reminds one of
the mania for spelling bees which existed
not long since in the United States. New
geographical societies or associations are
IspriD ging up everywhere. They have got
it into their heads over here that one of the
causes of their reverses during the war
with Germany was the superior knowledge
OF the German generals and officers in geo
'grapby or topography, in which particular,
PC Is alleged, their own officers were Wofully
deficient. Among the Germans every com
niesiOned officer, it is said, was furnished
with detailed map of the whole field be-
tween Berlin and Paris, while among the
opposing armies they had only maps of
iaces beyond the Rhine, which were ut
rly useless, as the French never' crossed
Rhine, because compelled to receive the
eSnans at home.
an amusing incident, which at the same
sAae confirms what bas been said, is reIa
teE ot PFUssian officer who was made
Pl.soneE In France during the war. His
caPIoFs wished to bring him to the nearest
OO"n, Out on coming to q spot where the
road oranched eff in two directions they no
mTpges Knew which direction to take.

The frequency with which families that
have inherited wealth from some indus
trious, frugal father, disappear through
their extravaganza, recalls the Lancashire
proverb,-for the Iact is a familiar one in
England" Twice clogs, once boots" The
father wore clogs and saved money his
rich sons wore boots and spent it; then sons
took up the clogs again.
A similar social change is indicated by a
Scotch proverb, "The grandsire digs, the
father bigs, the con thigs." The GRANDPA
ther dug his way by hard work to a fortune;
the father built fine mansion, and brought
his son in luxury the son spent all, and
then took to rbieving.
