Monument and Turf.


Full in the midst Of these gray bounds
A lordly stone upswells;
The scroll, that thrice its bulk surrounds,
The passing stranger tells
or what renowned hne be came,
Who meath the marble lies,
What deeds be wrought Of mark and fame
That live when mortal dies,
And deep is grsvea how high his worth
Was priced, how widely known,
What honors crowned him frou his birth.
What grief had raised the stone
Yet be sleeps calmly on beneath,
Where Silence mocks at Fame;
Nor hceds the pomp made over death,
This hlaEon Of his name.
Some PAGES of and thou wilt see
A grave Of simple show,
As lowly and re,ired IS be
Had been who rests below;
High rank and riches kept AfAr,
While they enjoyed their dAy,
The high and low-whAt sooiAl bar
MSy now divide their elayi
No honors mark the poor mans tomb,
This green, secluded spot
Yet still the pAnsys purple bloom
Proclaims him not forgot;
No craven stone reclaes above
To mourn the humble dead,
But womAn's grief and ehildren's love
pelew the hAllowed bed.
Nor here is any rroord hung
OF lineage and race,
The turf alone tells whence be sprung,
Who h.ls this nArrow space
His virtues slumher with his dust,
Unrecked Of and unknown;
But God. in Whom rSPosed his trust,
Receives Him Tor HIS own.

Learning the Sky.

It is a strange thing how little in gen
eral people know about the sky. II Is
the part of creation in which nature has
done more for the sake Of pleasing man,
more for the sole and evident purpose
of talking to him and teaching him, than
in any other of her works, and Il is Just
the part in which we least attend 10 her.
There are not many of her other works
i'm which some more material or essential
purpose than the mere pleasing of man
is not answered in every part of their
organization but every essential pur-
pose of the sky might. rs far rs we
know, he answered, il once in three days
or thereabouts, great. black, ugly rain
cloud was broken mp over the blue, and
everything else well watered, and so left
blue again until the next time, with
perhaps Aim of morning and evening
mist for dew. But instead Of this, there
is not moment of produce scene after
scene, picture after picture, glory after
glory, working still upon such exquisite
and constant principles of the most per-
feet beauty that il is quite certain il il
all done for MS. intended for our per-
petual pleasure by the Great Being who
made all, all worlds.

The Siberian newspapers complain OF
the large number of .convicts sent TO
their country. The chief population OF
the towns belong 10 that obiechonable
class. Political convicts, however, are
said 10 be valuable acquisition On
the low lands, on the other hand, there
are many villages in which the number
of convicts distributed over the settle
ment does not exceed one per cent. oJ
the whole population. Still the vlilagerS
are much afflicted with the vagaoond
element of thieves who have run away
from their stations IL rs dangerous to
approach them, since some OF the peas
ants in the villages are in close connee-
ton with them and harbor them, or, II
that is not possible, pass them on TO an
other village.

The GuIIeIess gypsy.

A CRANKY oolored man, by industry
and economy, managed to save UP quite
sum Of money by hauIing water. with
which he purchased fine farm. A few
days ago a number of wandering gypsies
visited his farm for the purpose OF telling
fortunes. They told the colored man
and his wife that they were destined TO
become the king and queen OF all their
race in America, and all that was neces-
sAry to bring this about was to deposit
their valuables in the hands of an aged
gypsy woman for safe keeping. This
the people finally did, and the result lis
that they are about $500 oat, and no
nearer royalty than when fusnishing

The lit Of two eyes from book,
A glance-but some glances are heaven ,
To such eyes us given
To crcs Paradise in look.
Just face IN the lamplight;

But hearts have been broken, tbs said,
And white steel turned red

But what has earth better 20 sigh for

An ingenious but simple mechanical
expedient has been adopted in Glasgow
for scattering the crowd that usually
assemblies at fire. Attached to the
engine is small hose, which is under
charge of ole OF the fremen. He be-
gins operations as if he were trying to
water small space around the engine,
but he gradually enlarges the circle
until the retreating crowd gives-ample
room. This clear space is kept open
till the police arrive and form Gordon.

A Chnrknred HONEYMOON.

A Young, enterprising shipmaster,
Captain John Carter, Jr., OF Manches-
ter-by- -the-sea, Mass, arrived home n
few weeks ago from voyage to East
India. While his ship was being re-
loaded Mt New York he went to Man
chester to make flying visit TO his
friends. and 10 secure shipmate OF n
different sex and of a higher order.
The nuptial hour was appointed when
the young and amiable Miss Haskell
was to unite her heart and fortunes with
the captain, but they were reminded OF
the old adage, There's many slip,
etc. by n telegram from New York stat
ing that his ship was seized by breach
committed against one of the inter
national laws. Without moments
delay the captain proceeded to New
York, gave satisfactory explanation,
then returned 10 Manchester, to remain
only long enough to secure his bride.
He hastily applied at the office OF the
town clerk % procure the necessary
" certificate" when he was informed
that the clerk was performing Jury duty
in distant town. The undlsmayed
captain was determined not 10 lose his
bride or to delay his ship, but TO prove
10 the world that where there is will
there is "a way" so had meeting called

EARNED and equipped, as the law
directs" secured the prize and took the
first train for New York. The twain
were soon condded to the tender mercies
of the briny deep. Nothing more was
heard from them until the arrival OF a
telegram from England this week, saying
that the Hattie G. Hall was found dis
masted and abandoned. The fearful
anxiety Of the parents and friends OF the
bride and groom can be better imagined
than described. Telegrams we're flashed
here and there without bringing one
word concerning the fate OF either
officers or crew, but in Wednesday,
Journal the following welcome news
from London was read: THE crew OF

ITEMS.

The rain, Oh, how it did rain on Sunday
night; and the rain, Oh, how it seems to have
a weakness for raiuing. 1.-The rain it raineth
every day"
1t is Jones of Empire who says that the
sand drifted fearfully ON Saturday night.
With Hank Monk at Carson and Jones at the
other end of the line we seem likely to be
able to keep up communications with the in
terror as well as the exterior, the flaments as
well as the elements
1t is surprising, considering the urgency of
the cry for 'more mud" how little of il there
Is forthcoming, even after our abundant rains.
The fact is Carson has more &c sand than
mud-which might be construed into meaning
that she has more courage than money.

Gradually we are getting our cutters and
sewers and grades and drains, and cross-walks
and all the surface appurtenances of our little
city into shape, comeliness and coherency Il
is no very easy task to do. The top Of this
sod is mainly loam Underneath the loan Is
something very like what they call adobe land,
and more frequently occurs the hard pan and
cement-like soil which is a conglomerate of al
kaline salts clayey earth, gravel, sand, and a
sediment of very tough and lasting texture.
SO the loan is easily sluiced off by freshets
such as always come on us when consldera-
BILE fall of snow is followed by a sudden thaw
or down pouring immediate torrent of warm
rain. And these are the chief reasons why it
is difficult to keep our north and south trend
ING streets in repair. They are washy and
unstable. But many years of hard battling
with the mountain streams and currents,
storms, gusts, floods and showers have brought
a valuable experience; and so, in one way and
another, we have got our streets in pretty good
repair. Indeed, a walk abroad in almost any
direction where there is enough drainage to
carry off the surplus water, even, IN fact,
where the sewage is imperfect, will demon
strate the superior quality of our highways
and byways. Still there is great deal to do
This is so mild winter that mountain travel,
generally stopped by the elements at this sea-
son of the year, is now prosecuted uninter-
ruptedly in all directions; and Lake Bigler
and Bodie are almost as accessible now as in
July. In fact, where insurmountabe obsta-
cles do not exist, the present season is more
favorable to freighting by teams than the heat
and drouth of summer. And this reminds US
to congratulate our fellow citizens of Carson
upon the very profitable and promising cur
rent of trade, Boulevard, that continues to
flow through our streets and places of bust
ness. As to our Streets we are glad to see so
many evidences of the competency of Mr. st.
Clair to fulfill the office to which he has been
appointed We trust that the Town Fathers
may see fit to authorize him, in good time, to
construct under the surface OF Carson street,
a commOdieus common sewer. Nothing that
we can think of is more needed to complete
the general system of our municipal plans,
looking to health, cleanliness and outward
appearances.

TIE HURDY-HOUSE ON WHEELS.

If men are. changed with the changing Of
days and dates and times, so indeed are mems
houses changed and moved about, just as the
houses of the snail, the turtle and the crab
are moved. Also houses take on new charac-
tiers, occupations and employments, shelter
new tenants, hear new secrets, new laughter,
new signs, witness new births and deaths, and
hold between their walls the strange, eventful
histories of men and women and children.
Now, time was when a certain man built a
certain house; and after it was builded certain
other men with musical instruments in their
hands and certain yonng women of the house
of Terpsichore went in there, and while the
one class did fiddle the other did dance; and
when men waltzed up to the bar to drench
their bowels with wine and strong drink,
they invited the young women; and so men
said it was hurdy house, meaning that
therein was heard sound of moderate and
inexpensive revelry by night as of barrel
organ or hurdy -gurdy. Also men and
women herded there, which is like unto joke
or jestful pun. Well, as time moved on, the
hurdy house reformed Its reformation was
as if the seraglio of the Grand Turk were sud
denly to be transformed into theological
seminary; for when the herds of herding
hurdles moved out, the organizers of the Car
son Public Library were seen and heard to
moveFin. The scene of the Olympian games
became an academic grove! And now under
the inspiration of our enterprising townsman,
Mr.. John G. Fox, the said structure has
taken to itself wheels and is moved away. 1t
will grace the old Frisbie corner. No longer
the sheltering place of a library, it will re-
lapse into its former condition of worldliness
so far as to become the dwelling place of busy
business and the resort of the eager, the
hungry and, perhaps the saltatory and the
bibulous. We saw it yesterday prepared to
take its Earring journey. 1t came along
grudgingly but with the steady progress of
Fate 1t will be magnificent architectural or

FOR BODIE.

Yesterday there arrived from Gold Hill one
of Mr.. Geo. Elders splendid draught teams
(of eighteen animals) bringing part of the
timbers, frame work and appurtenaces of a
| quartz mill belonging to Mr.. Chamberlain of
that place 1t is intended for Bodie. Though
small, this establishment seems to be very
complete one The mill, so far as it goes,
has all the most approved appliances and a
part of the establishment is boarding house.
This will be shipped along with the rest of
the wood work, etc. The appearance of this
big turn out on Carson street, created no lit
tie stir among the side walk iterati and curb
stone critics The fact that Bodie is so &C
cessible over the Aurora wagon road at this
season of the year indicates one of the more
notable features of this exceptional season.
Also it is evident that the faith in the future
prosperity of Bodie is in nowise abated.
The funeral services over the remains of
the wife of our much bereaved friend Mr..
Kelly were conducted at the church by Rev.
Mr.. Jenny, assisted by Rev. Messrs. Eastman
and Foote. The choir, composed of Mrs.
Howe, Miss HodgEinson, Messrs. Mason and
Scoville, sang the beautiful chants of the bur
ial service very sweetly. At the grave, Bishop
Whitaker read the final impressive words. The
funeral was quite numerouslyd attende, and
the sympathy felt for Mr.. Kelly is very sin
cere and very general .......
