OF the recent fire in Bodie the Standard of
Wednesday says:
Last Tuesday night week, after the Stan
dard had gone to press, the citizens of our
town were startled from their beds by an
alarm of fire. On reaching the scene of the
confagratIon the restaurant, bakery and lOdg-
| ing house of Sam Chung, on King street, was
found enveloped in flames, By energetic eff
forts and the tearing down of two or three
buildings between Chung's house and ellison
& Barber's store, the progress of the fire was
stopped with the destruction of the building
| where it first originated The wind was blow
ing a strong gale from the south at the time,
and our citizens may be thankful that no fur
Their damage resulted. The building which
was consumed was valued at S10,O 600, and was
insured for s. 900. The fire originated from
a defective stoveppe in the roof of the kitchen.
This accident should act as warning to our
citizens and cause them to take necessary pre-
caution to guard against fire in the future.
Defective stovepipes should be looked after
rigidly, and no precaution neglected to insure
against the recurrence of a like accident
which, should the town again be unfortunate
enough to be visited with, must result more

No Sour HOUSE WANTED. The Bodie
Standard is disposed to resent recent state
ment in the MORNING APPEAL to the effect
that there was a soup-house to be opened in
that thriving camp. Says the Standard:
White Horse Adams has not visited Bodie:
he did not venture as far as Aurora in search
of beef cattle, and was little disappointed in
not being able to secure a drove, hence re-
ported hard times in Bodie. Jessie Summers
purchased the drove that Adams was after;
he does not think soup-house necessary;
says there is coin to pay for beef here, when
it retails at eight cents by the side.
We are sorry to have subjected Mr. Adams
to this fusilade at the hands of our sensitive
contemporary. In no offensive spirit We would
remind the Standard that itself justified, in a
measure, the conclusion that the times were
very hard and distressful there by warning
people from repairing to that camp before the
weather should have moderated and outdoor
work be more generally underway At all
events, the MORNING APPEAL has no DISPOSE
ton to say any disparaging word of Bodie or
any other town or district. 1t is but Justice
to Mr.. Adams to say that the statements
charged to him came to our reporter at sec
ond hand. Perhaps it is proper that we should
say that we were quite unwarranted in making
use of his name.

Jusr1FIEs THE Acr.-Speaking of the re-
cent tragedy at Lone Pine the Inyo indie
pendent says that the killing of the ruffians
by the citizens |'caused no regret or surprise.
as point had been reached in a long lane
where turn must come, and where all had
began to look for it. " For months and wears
that country has been the hot bed of despera-
does, and man-slayers have stalked abroad
with perfect impunity, striking right and left
in daylight and darkness, and when the farce
of a trial was gone through with the usual
''not guilty" was the termination of such
trials and the murderer was turned loose upon
society again. The only wonder is that the
law-abiding citizens did not long before take
vengence in their own hands and mete out
justice to the vile wretches of that county.
The terrible, swift and sure manner in which
this last bach of assassins met their fate will
have satisfactory effect, it is to be hoped, on
the bands of thieves, cut Threats and robbers
which infest the fair county of Inyo, and
although we are no advocates of mob law,
still when the proper authorities are power
less to enforce the laws and protect citizens,
little judicious hanging now and then helps
wonderfully to keep the bravo in wholesome
fear of an outraged community.

Loved and Lost.

An, Maud, II Is true you have Sedded
The widower over the way:
For the sake of the gold in his Golfers,
Though his head is both wtthered and gray.
To be mistress Of lands in the country,
To be mistress Of hol ses In town,
To queen 1t in fashions poor pageant,
You have bartered your womanhoods croYn
That pearls and diamonds might glIsten
In the soft silken curls of your hair,
That the form that is haunting my visions
Might be decked out In satins most rare,
That the dear little hand that you pledged me
Night toy with the mil ionaire's gold,
You have turned from the friends Of your child
hood,
You have broken your promise of old.
You have broken the VOWS that you uttered
One sum inner eve years long ago,
When the heart that you gave me was pureF
Than the winters first mantle of snow;
When the eyes that met mine frank and foa-
.' less
Held nothing of guile or deceit,
And the smile Of your red lips beguiled me,
And held me slave at you feet.
And yet. Maud, they say you're unhappy;
That your spirit has never know rest;
That the gold in the millionaire's Golfers
Cannot Danish remorse from your breast;
That you sigh for the love that you sighted,
For the love that was honest and true,
For the heart that through years Of enstrsnco
ment
Has ever been faithful to you.
The years have been long since you left Iae
In anguish aud deepest despair,
And time has his signet imprinted
On the once glossy curls of my hair
The eyes that were bright have grown dim
Maud;
The heart sad that once was SO gay;
And you've learned when too late. Maud, *
value
The love you flung lightly away.

REVEE4 ENCE TO AGE,

The wise man says, "the hoary head is a
crown of glory when found in the ways of
righteousness" And SO it ought to be es-
teemed. But, somehow or other, it does
really seem that even matured old age does
not command that respect from the young
now which it once did. Even grown-up
children nowadays, often speak of parents,
that should be revered, as the old man."
and ''the old woman" little imagining how
it shocks the moral sense of those whose
better nature and more refined sensabiH-
ties revolt at such impiety, such unflial
ways. Among certain of the ancients,
want of reverence to parents was accounted
among the greatest of crimes, while lack of
veneration even to the stranger who had
grown old, was attributed to lack of breed
ing. And so it should be in this our day,
fast as the age is reported to be. Would
that all our youth might be taught this les
son, and bow reverently to age!

Do NOT be too fast in making up your
mind how to vote on the Southern Rail
road two million appropriation. Cincin-
natl has an immense debt already, and
taxation is heavy. But we are in for the
Southern Railroad to such an extent that
every move now must be a sensible one.
Between now and the day of election the
matter will be thoroughly canvassed. II
any better scheme be devised or a
way out of the difficulty be shown with
out seriously impairing what is already
expended, it may be advisable to vote
down the proposed appropriation. In the
absence of any other practical scheme ii
will perhaps be better to vote the money
now asked. The whole question is in a
very unsatisfactory shape, but with the
Indebtedness already incurred on account
of the Southern Railroad the work must
not now be brought to standstill.

some corrections. 1t sums up the situa-
ton there briefly in these words: "In
reality, on the State debt question, there
are only two parties. One, which may
be called the bondholding party, has the
misfortune to be identified with un-
Escupulous rings which make merchan-
disc of the State credit. The other repre-
sents that large and growing class which,
painfully recognizing the suffering
and hardships of the people, favor a post
ponement of any settlement until their
condition is improved; or, if settlement
is to be effected, say by the next Legisla-
ture, that it shall be an equitable one,
and not one-sided arrangement where
the bondholder shall virtually dictate
the terms, and be preferred creditor.
Doubtless there are outsnd-out repudi-
ationists in the State, and their number
has been increased by the exposure of
ring rascaiity and villainy, but this ele-
ment will not control the party in the,
coming campaign. The large class we
have referred to above will run the ma
chine this time, will control the Demo-
cratic State Convention, and will elect
the next Governor"
