A VOICE FROM A SMALL TAX.
PAYER,

IA E.Ets
For as wealthy and prosperous a
community as Eureka, the public
buildings are a shame and disgrace.
IL is a matter of just pride to be able to
point to a full Treasury and a clean
balance sheet. but the mere fact that
we are out of debt, and in receipt of a
royal revenue, does not fortify the po-
sitlon of those who denounce all pub
lie improvements, and in "A miser-like
spirit, accumulate coin for the sake of
gloatlng owe a lot OF fat money bags.
This is not econmony, but parsimony
-retrenchinent run mad. Leaving
the question of Court house out of the
discussion, a glance at the other coun-
ty buildings viii convince one that we
are correct in our views. The hos
pital Is entirely inadequate to the
wants or comfort of the INDECENT sick.
1t l. crowded at times bey ODd its ca
pacity and with the exception OF a few
dollars expended on furniture during
the last six weeks, has not been i'm
proved or renovated for years. The
jail is "A dirty hole, badly ventilated
and Insecure, costing more in repairs
to damages inflicted by the occupants
than would suffice to reconstruct IL.
The school-house is a re proach to any
enlightened community. The chill
dren crowd the departments, and many
are denied the privileges of the institu-
ton from the fact that The accoinmo-
dations are of such a character as to
affect their health. Visitors from
abroad sneer at our provisions for the
rising generation, and denounce Is as
barbArians. In other matters, where
The public welfare is concerned, we are
just as derelict. What other town of
the pretensious OF the Base Range NE
tropolis would suffer calmly and
meekly under such an iniiiction as the
foul trench that occupies the faicest
ana most eligible portion of Eureka ?
WHAT people would abide this pest
lential drain, and daily sniff the vile
odors arising from its depths, without
taking some action in the matter +?
Whenever the subject is preached, we
are always confronted with h crush
ing statement that the big tax payers
oppose any improvements. OF course
that settles ali opposition at once. If
they 10 not approve of any steps that
would remedy the evil, the money
worshiping spirit that is the maiu-
spring OF our action. %recoils at once,
and we submit to their DEGREES with.
out a murmur. /, for one, pray that
they may accumulate sufficient wealth
to enable them, or induce them to de
part for more congeniaI climes, where
a standard of civilization obtains more
suited to their tastes. In the mean
time it is the duty of every one who
has any pride in his dwelling place, or
interest in the town, to agitaIate and
demand that a portion OF the coin that
lies idle in the Treasury vaults should
he judicioIsiy expended on substantial
and needed Improvements.

Battle with "a Cat.

Mrs. Little, a lady residing near the
Richmond works, had a battle royal
with an Infatuated cat yesterday. The
feline had been a domestic pet, raised
in The family, and up till yesterday one
of the tamest of creatures. The lady
was in the act OF stroking it, when it
flew upon her with great ferocity
biting and scratching and exhibiting
all the fury OF a Wild beast. Her
screa ms attracted the attention of Mr..
Young, who was passing At the time,
and Fastening to the Rescue, lac sue
ceeded in heating off the beast, and
finally killing il. Mrs. Little was bitten
in The arms and hands, and the excite
ment of the encounter made her quite
i'll. Mr.. Young WAS also the recipient
of several bites aud scratches. Ii is b.
be hoped that no bad effects Will FOL
low the wounds.

Lambert Moliuelli, in company with
Aleck Bersanti, IS the fortunate posses
sor of a coal mine, situated neal Fish
Creek, eight miles from Pages ranch.
A shaft has been sunk to the depth of
10 fees, and a vein six inches thick en-
countered at the bottom. The coal
found is of good quality, burns readily,
gives out great heat, and is consumed
to a white ash. A force of three men
are constantly employed, and will
soon start a drift off into the mount
ain. 1t is the opinion of all who have
examined the property. that a good
sized and paying deposit will eventual
ly be uncovered. Ii such should
prove the case, it will be a bonanza &c

Last night the curtain fell for the last time
upon the most magnificent of all conceptions,
which will be remembered by those VIII ) SAY it
long after many Of the incidents OF the day are
forgotten.
The Naiad Queen is at once imposing and sub
lime and for parity and cIevating tendencies,
well as for artistic and bewidering effects,
its equal has never been seen iii this country
It is something that makes everyone better
who secs it. 1t dlsgusts the spectator
with human solfshnoss aud inspires
love for the good and the
beautiful. The foundations upon which the
whole thing IS built are faith, hope and chart
ty, and the mechanical appliances made by the
French artists to illustrate the mysterious
workings OF the fairy powers who reward the
good and punish the bad are simply wonderful.
Arthur q. Mcknight will long be remembered
by our people, not only for his rare mag
nanmity in affording 800 youth of this city
the most valuable and important culture for
three months, free of expense TO thoul, but for
giving us the grandest entertainment ever seen
