When saw Il yellow vlsaged Frenchman
VIM his vretched arm in sling, come, ac-
..onrpanied By his wife, his wife's two sisters,
a two brothers and friend of the family, to
this hospital this morning, says to myself,
-avs [: cold Teller, have got the best of yoN!
81" are Just entering upon the experience OF
hospital patient; yortr little old anatomy is
W. in the pickle, as it were; gOu have the de
irats of the operating table to come; you are
=. novice, a grecny, or, as might say, IAN i'm

Slice YOU NV and take stitches in your old yell

p..s better. somehow, than the correct thing,

Awhile ago, as passed through the glass en-
rl,,l corridor, yonder, | saw the poor devil

CARSON DELEGATION.
Wy dining room was the scene of pleasant
son,;pn yesterday afternoon. (My meals are
,.iycl in my chambcr} A modest knock was
heard at my door, and behind the knock as
a., ne kuuchcr were the iaint sounds of
.auH.ng feet AS ia CAREFUL ,rreading army.
I'm "a moment stood face to face with as val
.lut IL quartette OF Carsonitea as ever smelt
,lg.-ncush In advance Was my old friend,
col. e. d. Crittenden, looking fresh as
s-hoo!boy, despite the honest grizzIe of his
bard Following him. came Col \. c. Ellis,
,f thc Ormsby Bar, Mr.. r. f. Kelly, Secre
tlr< ii the Justice Mining Company, and Mr..
David Magce, now of the Lick House. This
,,a> v:o of the pleasantest as II was also the
most numerous invasion of home folk that |
lmvu experienced. There are some incidents
Tins, VA are not so sure about. Somehow
The, sem shadowy and dreamlike. Not so
This cas-. Here were four as substantial, real,
ic,h-lnd-blood neighbors and towneys as NOR
tai eye might look on. To be sure they do |
not all still live i'll Carson; but that is more
their misfortune than their fault. They made |
me feel quite a man and brother, once more. |
Col. Hills, understood him to say, would re-
turn home to-day, A pleasant journey to |
him Wish he had taken Inc with him.

The whales belly) | shall leave these not I'M
pleasant quarters for brief soiourn at the
Palace. Then, home. | don't want to ex-
.hangc places with that yellow skinned
1renchman yonder, Poor fellow, hope he
nay pull through as cleverly as did. He
night as well joke about it, though! Crying
md groaning wont help it any.
ALL SORTS.
! Was about to say that | was afraid my
eadcrs, ayo,and even my most favoring and
charitable critics would begin to discover that
am just the least bit egotistical But, when
come t" think of the matter, cannot see
shy they should think so. What have | ever
aid about myself save in the way of testi-
nony! don't suppose there is one man in /
hundred that thinks | wrote these letters.
