DEER.

The Elko Independent of Monday has the
following information of interest to hunters:
We are informed by the railroad boys that
the deer are more numerous along the line OF
the road, than has been known for years, the
trains frequently soaring them up from their
lairs close to the track. AS the freight train
from the east, couple of days ago, reached q
certain point eight miles west of this place,
and near Molene, it flushed herd of the
beauties numbering some % or 80 heac. The
bottom land at the point referred to, is fenced
in and the bluffs rising abruptly on the other
side Of the road, the innocents were hemmed
in on both sides, and as the train approached,
Hoped off leisurely down the track The engi-
neer couldn't resist the temptation to pull the
throttle little wider open than the register
under q strict construction of the regulations,
and as the train shot forward, the herd in
creased its pace, and finally got down to its
level best before reaching place of exit 1t
was an exciting unique, and very pretty race,
but they didn't appear to have been badly
for the east bound train found
them within pistol shot of the track only
short time after Our valient nimrods have
now chance to display their skill and powers
of endurance by bagging few venison's.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S SHAWLS.

Queens are sometimes strange bodies. Mary
heretics, especially heretical Old men and
women. Queen Bess has queenly passion
for the dignities of spinsterhood. She was
the grandest old maid known to history Elk
Queen Isabel of Spain has a quenchless pas
sion for old lace. Her collection of these
flmy fabrics is the largest in Europe. Queen
Nictoria's greed for the accumulation of shawls
has long been notorious. She has perfect
store house for these beautiful articles of
female gear. But where she gets 'em is the
question. A writer in London magazine
deals with the subject as follows II am not
naturally inquisitive, and not altogether,
hope, exempt from that morbid curiosity
which takes an interest in every detail con-
nected with the royal family; but still should
like to know here the Queen gets her India
shawls from. l don't mean from what cstab-
hshment in Regent street or Waterloo place,
for doubt if she ever bought one anywhere;
bat l should like to hear how she comes by
the thousands which she evidently has on
hand. 1hey do not form Part OF the tribute
pail to her as Empress of India, because she
has always possessed the same superfuity of
this article, some specimens of which she is
nevertheless always giving away. [ don't
think that any girl of high rank has been
married in England for the past quarter of
century who has not had shawl from the
Queen. 1t always stands at the head of the
list of presents published by the Morning
Post: From the Queen-a beautiful India
shawl " These shawls have for some time
been joke in English high life; it being
shrewdy suspected that her Majesty, whose
presents are of the most frugal order, has some
mode of getting consignments at very low
figures. But it is fair to add that the shawls |
are extremely handsome, and could not be
bought under a high price.

CONKLING.

Among the dispatches which came yester-
day is the following
New York, December GA Washington
special to the Tribune says Senator Conkling
made a movement to day which indicates that
he is determined still to Garry the war into
Africa" On the Commerce Committee, of
which he is chairman, the only Republican
who voted for the Presidents nominations
was Burnside. In the Encouragement of the
Committee, however, it appears that Burnside
is removed from the Commerce and placed
upon the Post-office Committee, while Jones
of Nevada, one of the bitterest opponent of
the Administration, takes Burnside's place on
the Commerce Committee. This leaves the
Commerce Committee with five anti-Adminis-
tration Republicans and four Democrats. 1t is
to this Committee which all nominations re-
lating to customs revenue, including collec-
tors of ports and consuls, besides large class
of other officers, like steamboat inspectors,
are referred.
Here and elsewhere the MORNING APPEAL
has remarked that the way toward the success
full issue of battle-either of law or arms-is
through the rough and perilous course of war.
A very ordinary man with the unnatural and
extraordinary strength of the Presidency in
his hand has attempted to set up Temple of
Goodness wherein squats mock and repulsive
idol of Purity. The religion which finds ex-
preston out of the mouth of this idol Through
It's worshippers) is All mems depravity. The
world has been afflicted with the warts and
boils Of impurity until Hayes
like poultice comes,
To heal the blows of sound.
Conkling is man of inordinate pride. 1t
is splendid exhibition of popular liking, that
in this harsh and self-assertive age of scorn-
full manhood, the people of New York have
rallied as they have to Conklings imperial
standard. He waves his orifamme more like
feudal baron than democratic chieftan
There is in his manner more of Norman blood
than simple faith This is the present Amer-
can statesman who is 'Fsans peur ct sans re

JOE SMITH.

Says the New York Sun of November 30:
The Baptist Ministers Conference investigated
the Mormon Bible on Monday, and the Rev.
DR.. P. B. Spear of Madison University told
stories about the boyhood of Joe Smith. He
was personally acquainted with the twelve
apostles of Joe Smith The entire gang of
apostles had been expelled from Christian
churches. On general training days in Pal
myra, n Y, Joe Smiths father sold cakes
and cider to the crowd. Joe was a white
headed tall gawky, who never said thing as
any one else would The old man was for
tune teller in a rough way. He used the palm
and lines in the hand to read character
From him Joe acquired the fortune telling
habit, When mere boy Joe got hold of a
stone that one of the nelghbors' children had
found. 1t was shaped like small child's foot
and had veins running through it. Putting
this stone into his hat and thrusting his face
into the hat so as to exclude all light, Joe de-
clared that he saw visions. The price Joe
usually received for his exercise of the gift of
second sight was ten or fifteen cents Joe
learned to read without teacher, and was
delighted with the history of Mohammedan-
ism
As to the finding by Joe Smith of the gol-
den plates with inscriptions, Mr. bingham,
who was on the Grand Jury in case in
tended finding of the plates were brought out,
told the speaker a strange story. Joe Smith
had told him that he (Joe) had begun the
story of the golden plates as "sell'' on his
(Joes) mother. Joe wore a long tow gown,
that was loose and reached to his feet. Some
times he wore tow pantaloons under the gown,
and sometimes he didn't Oftener he didn't
1t was his mothers habit to say to Joe on his
return from an expedition. "Well anything
been found ?" One day Joe said that he put
a lot of sand into his gown, and concealed it
by folding the edge of the gown over it. In
answer to the usual query, he said that he had
found golden Bible The mother wanted
to see it. ''No, it will kill you to look upon
it, Joe rejoined. The mother was credulous,
and so were the neighbors. Thus the story
arose, and Joe was too shrewd to contradict
5he story.
The Rev. DR.. Eddy read an essay on the
Mormon Bible. He held one up, saying
hat there are only six or eight in existence,
he thing having been suppressed. For a
similar one 5000 dollars was recently paid. |
It contained positive prohibition OF poly
amy. Years ago when the book was owned |
" friend, Benz Fordyce, in Scipio, n. Y,
he Mormons repeatedly sent messengers to
,uy it. To get rid of them, the friend had
-ven the book to the essayist. The only one
,ho had Joined the Mormons from his early
ome, Marion, Wayne county, n. Y, was
,idow of doubtful reputation, who was a
1ember of the Baptist Church.

FROZEN TO DEATH.

The Silver State of Thursday has the fol-
lowing account of the death of a well known
resident of Eastern Nevada by freezing: j.
S. Carmony, teeamster, was found dead in
Bull Run Basin on Saturday last. He had
been employed at the Blue Jacket, and when
operations had been suspended for the winter
had been discharged. On Thanksgiving Day
he had been enjoying himself with number
of friends, and had been drinking quite
freely. Friday morning he started to go
down the Basin to the Infdel mine, a distance
of four or five miles, accompanied by another
party, but they failed to reach the mine, and
on Saturday his dead body was found by a
man passing by, and it is supposed that he
died from the effects of the excessively cold
night of Friday. Our informant did not
know how the two men became separated,
but says the other man reached shelter in
safety. Carmony was well known in this
section by the name of Doc" and was a
native of the State Of Pennsylvania. He
had been on this coast upwards of twenty
years, and had hosts of friends. Parties
went out from Cornucopia on Sunday for the
purpose of bringing in the body aad burying
it there.

The Ice CRoP.-The Reno Gazette of
Thursday states the prospects of the ice crop
as follows: The ice season has commenced in
the mountains, and the crop bids fair to rival
that of last year, owing to the clear, cold
weather at present prevailing. At Prosser
creek, where the Summit Ice Company have
been located for years, the ice pond is covered
by six inches of ice, and in case the weather
holds as at present for few days, the first
crop will be harvested. At Camp 20, the PEG
pies Ice Company, which has made extensive
improvements during the past year, now has
four or five inches of good ice. A snow storm
just now would benefit everybody except the
ice man, and it would compel him to get out
his teams and scrape snow vigorously in
order to prevent the destruction of ice alerady
formed. The companies mentioned find their
trade constantly increasing, and will put up
large quantities this winter in view of the
demand. The rumor that COM
pany has been incorporated to manufacture
machine ice on the Comstock, does not
promise to interfere with the homemade |
article. About 10000 tons will be the COM
plement of the two companies for this season.

CATFISH IN THE HUMBOLDT, should
think that catfish would destroy the trout
wherever the two are put together. They
are going to try the experiment, it seems in
the Humboldt River The Silver State of
Thursday says Meacham & Blakeslee, of
Humboldt House, have imported lot of live
catfish from Suffer Slough near Sacramento,
and transplanted them in u slough of the
Humboldt near the Station, where it is ex-
pected they will propagate and thrive fully
as well as in the rivers of the Western States,
There is no apparent reason why catfish
should not do as well in the Humboldt as in
the Platte and other muddy streams where
they are naturally abundant.

A NUMBER OF FAcToRIKs BURNED AT
CLAYToN-THE FIRE SUPPOSED TO
I BE THE WORK OF AN INcHEDIARY, II
This morning about 4 o'clock the large
two and half story frams basket factory
belonging to Evans u Co., at Clayton,
was discovered TO be on fire. The wood
being dry and the building being filed
with infiamable matter, the flames spread
very rapidly and before anything could
be done the entire building was one sheet
Of fame. Almost adjoining the factory
was the wheeIwright shop Of j. G.. LofI
land, ann the blacksmith shop of q Mr.
Buckmaster. The flames of the burning
factory soon spread to the shops, and Ia
almost moment they were wrapped in
the embrace of the fiery elements.
The flames also extended to grocery
store, but before they made much heady
they were checked, and the building only
slightly damaged, but the contents were
damaged to such an extent in removing
them from the building that the loss will
be quite heavy.
The other building together with the
! contents were entirely destroyed. I he
loss will be quite heavy, and there is nc
insurance except on the machinery In the
basket factory. The fire is supposed to bt
the work Of an incendiary and it |.
strongly hinted by some that it was the
work Of tramps.
For some time the residents in the neigh
borhood were much alarmed, as it wa.
thought there would be a serious confa
