F1REMENs MEErING.-The fremen of the
various Carson companies will meet at 3
o'clock on Sunday afternoon at the Curry En-
CINE House for the purpose of discussing the
proposition of forming regular Fire Depart
ment with Chief Engineer, assistants, etc.
We are too much of an outsider to be entitled
to any voice but we have right to hope,
and we do hope, that these self-sacrifcing
citizens may do the wisest thing suggested
and submit themselves to organization and
discipline.

MINERS UNION PICNIC.

To-day at Uncle Tread's Pleasure Grounds
| will be held the grand picnic of the season
| the picnic of the Miners Unions of Virginia
City and Gold Hill. Our little city will be
full of life and gayety and the participants
will have such time as one remembers for a
lifetime The Chronicle of last evening re-
ferring to this merry making says: 1.-The
regular annual Miners Union Picnic will take
place tomorrow at Treadways Ranch, Carson.
OF course this is to be the picnic of the sea-
soma picnic which will completely dwarf all
other similar affairs which have gone before.
Times are flush, stocks are up, and there is a
general feeling of jubilation all along the
lode. The result should be to swell the at
tendance at the Miners Union picnic beyond
all previous proportions. The preparations
for the comfort of the guests, and the preser-
walton of good order, have been made very
extensive, and the plans for good time will
be thoroughly carried out The prizes to be
contested for are very costly and sufficiently
numerous to allow everybody to bring back a
trophy. The train will leave the depot at 8
clock IN the morning, sharp.
HANDSOME ALL ROUND-The Monarch
Saloon, Mike Gregovichs place, is a very
handsome and very attractive resort. Moth
ing could be neater or handsomer than the
beautiful bar with its bright glasses and silver
ware. Mike has a small billiard table in the
part of his saloon devoted to that game, which
is one of the most superb pieces of that kind
of furniture we have ever seem Such
place, thus furnished, deserves to be literally
patronized, as this saloon is, we are glad to
say.
HALF-MILE RACE.-There is to be a half
mile race to-day at the Agricultural Society's
track between two mares, "Flora" and
"Gipsy," for purse of 81 ,0O0-the winner
to own both horses. The match excites much
interest and will be largely attended.
Music AT BOWERS MANs1oN.-The National |
Guard Band will accompany the excursion
train on Sunday next. During the day they |
will enliven the scene at Bowers Mansion |
with delightful instrumental music.

PANTS" ENTERPRISE.

An enterprising man is sure to find favor
with the press. 1t is because of his untiring
energy and intelligent enterprise that Pant
lind of the Ormsby House is so popular with
the journalists of Western Nevada. The
Virginia City Stage, catching the inspiration
of "Pant's enterprise, says: Pantlind,
of the Ormsby House, Carson, is a wide
awake, go-ahead, get-up -anddust kind of a
man. He sees that they will shortly have
very lively times in Carson, and has therefore
leased the White House, which will be fitted
up in grand style and thrown open to the
public about the LIST of October. he will
then have two of the best hotels in the State,
with facilities for accommodating any number
of guests We wish him the success his en-
terprise merits"

THE ENPOyERlsEIED WIND.
A. l.. Rowe

1t has been truly said, "That the
mind rs well as the body demands its
proper food" And the mind that is
deprived of its requisite food, like the
body, is impoverished. The mind is
naturally inclined to seek for knowI,
edge, and would develop itself if al.
lowed To subsist on the food which was
intended for its development. But
when it is deprived of this, and al.
loned to indulge in debauchery, licen-
tinusnc,s, or other lewd principles, il
will become lauguid and debased, and
the mind may be led so far astray that
its nature becomes perverted. If the
body is deprived of that which is nee
es>ary for Its sustenance for long
period, all relish is lost for the diet
that is essentially necessary for its sus-
tenauce. So it is with the mind, if it
has been deprived of its proper food,
it loses all relish for sound matter
which is calculated to expand and de-
velop it. The impoverished mind
may be greatly improved, if permit
mitteh to have free access to litera
ture, of the proper kind such as our
school books and other authentic
books calculated to lead us in the right
path. and to promote cur peace and
happiness hereafter. We me often
tempted with things that cause us to
violate the principle of morality when
our minds become impoverished and
the more it is depressed the greater
the temptation is to do evil.
The nature of the mind in many re-
spects is analogous to the body for
if the body is fed on fine delicacles
and deprived of that food which is cal
culated to strengthen, it loses all rel
ish for strong diet; so it is with the
mind, if permitted to subsist on such
reading us novels and other triaing
reading, it loses relish for that which
is necessary for its development. We
should not indulge in reading of this
kind for we reap no benefit from it.
But the mental qualities which have
been referred to. constituting an act
i've and attentive mind should he care
fully cultivated by all who desire their
mental improvement. The man who
has cultivated them with adequate
care, habitually exercises a process of
mind which is equally source of i'm
provement and Of refined enjoyment

that will undoubtedly be followed by
some of our Successors. As il is an
indisputable fact that our followers are
governed by our actions, it is of the
greatest importance that We should act
to promote their happiness and pros
perity. That we should work to pro-
mote the peace and happiness of those
who are to trace Onr footsteps in the
sands of time, is sacred duty we
shOuld endeavOr to perform. And
whenever we deviate from the right
path and lead reckless life, we are
doing something which is. not only
calculated 10 destroy oar happiness but
the happiness and peace of our follow
ers. Therefore, let us strive to attain
a bright name while living, and it will

WE ONLY BEGIN TO LIVE WHEN We
DIE.
From the Rambler.

From the Rambler.
This paradox is worthy of a due
consideration, for it is that upon which
depends the welfare and prosperity of
future generations. The example we
set while living will be initiated by our
successors; and if we perform any
great and good deeds, which merit
some eulogy, while We are living, they
will be extoled by the rising genera
lions and our influence will continue
to grow instead of being diminished.
No man has ever lived and passed off
the stage of life without exerting an
influence. 1t matters not what course
he has pursued, his name does not fol-
low him to the tomb, and there re-
main forever in obScuritv. AS soon as
his body is placed in the cold and
silent grave, his name yields a greater
influence upon his followers.
Men are of varied dispositions. And
each and every man successfully imi-
tates his predecessor who has led a
course of life that is agreeable to his
nature. We see examples of this all
around us. We notice those who are
ambitious to follow in the footsteps of
Demosthenes and Cicero, who have
long since died, and are yet immortal.
And we notice those, who have de-
sire to become famous as great war.

And as we WELD such influence af
ter death, it is of the utmost import
ance, that we should direct our minds
n the right channel, and strive to fol
'low the right course through life, thai
we may SIT bright example for the
rising generations. If we abandon
ourselves to worldly appetites, and lead
a dissolute course, we set an example

EDUCATION.
From the Rambler.

From the Rambler.
The word education is so often used
that we hear it without due cOnsidera-
ton of its vast meaning. AS gene
rally understood, education consists of
going to school a certain length of
line, where a number of books are
committed to memory, and then the
work is finished. Is education ever
complete? | think not. A knowledge
of hooks is not education. 1t is only
an Introduction, at most, that prepares
us for further advancement IN knOwl-
edge. 1t is of great value in different
ways. II is a continuous source of
pleasure, for we can read the interest
ing books and newspapers, and under
stand them. Education, besides be-
ing a source of pleasure is the means
by which we may obtain great wealth.
1t is a treasure of which all should he
proud. And the schools of learning
should be better cared for in this
country. A good education makes us
companions with the greatest writers.
1t is through education that we can
understand the writings of Shake
speare, Hume, Voltaire and other
great writers. A thorough education
makes us the better acquainted with
the world in which we live.
