somathi.g about Il Princess.


Sarah Winnemucca, the heroic In
dian woman who has served thearmv
OF General Howard as guide and
scout, is member of the royal fam
lily Of Piute chief. Her influence
is said to be very great in her tribe
and among the friendly Indians.
Her great courage, her laithfuluess to
her promises to the whites, and her
valuable services, deserve more than
passing notice. Her history will
be a romantic episode in savage war
fare.
The above is from the Chicago Lo-
ter-Oceo", and is good sample Of the
guSh and romance the eastern press
wrap around the Indians The truth
about Sarah Winnemucca is that she
is drunken strumpet; her royal ia
ther is a dirty old beggar, whose royal
dignity would permit him to accept
cold grub oranypetty charity from the
whites. Sarah was caught trying to
smuggie arms and ammunition to the
Bannachs, she being in company
with a squaw man at the time, and
General Howard utilized her asa spy.
There is about as much heroism in
Sarah as there is in a coyote, and
about as much romance as III game
of seven-up for fun.

Lieut. T. W. Stone, Jr., who is in
charge Of the commissary department
of the expedition of Gen. Howard
against the Indians, i'll a private letter
says: "We are ragged and dirty,
burnt and tired, and forlorn looking
crowd. Have not been where pay
master could reach us, and whoever
has Il dollar is rich man. We are
living principally on bacon and brown
sugar.
y Democratic Congress says these
men are an incubus upon the Govern
ment. 1t is determined to cut their
numbers down from $4,000 to 10000,
and to increase their hardships by
doubling the work they are required
to perform. And yet this Congress
sends its rowing commissions broad
cast through the land, and supports
them in luxury and ease. We never

or OF their living upon bacon and

good enough for them. Their pockets
are never empty so long as there is
dollar in the public treasury The

THE CARSON OPERA HOUSE.

Work on our new theater is progressing
most encouragingly. The joists for the body
OF the building, as we'll as those under the
stage, have been laid, and the work of raising
the frame commenced yesterday. Everything
about the building has a substantial appear
ance, and all the contract details are being
carefully carried out under the supervision of
Mr J. 7. Preddey, gentleman of great ex-
perience i'll such matters. The theater proper
will be thirty-one fcct in hight in the clear,
and the seating capacity Of the building will
be between seven hundred and fifty and eight
hundred The dress circle, semi circular in
form, will comfortably hold two hundred and
fifty people, the seats being upholstered either
in velvet plush, or enamelled duck, the pre-
ference most likely to be given to the latter
The stage will be thirty one feet in depth by
forty -eight i'll width, the size, we believe, of
Piper's Opera House, with a space of nine
feet below, thus allowing ample space for
traps, etc. By this arrangement combina-
lions playing at Pipers can use the same
scenes in the Carson Opera House that are
used in the Virginia theater. Messrs. Miller
& Cook, the contractors, who are doing their
work faithfully and in every way satisfactorily,
have till next July 3Oth to complete the Opera
House but at the present encouraging rate
it is almost certain that the building will be
finished by the LIST of July, giving the Car
sonites an opportunity to assist in dedicating
their new Thespian temple by the " glorious
Fourth" If our people should conclude to
celebrate the coming national holiday in good
style, as they undoubtedly will, the Opera
House can be used for the literary exercises,
with an anniversary ball on the
night of the Fourth. We believe this is the
programme.

RAIL-HARDWARE EXTRAORDINARY

| We can understand how it is possible for
white lead to be regarded as among the things
which constitute hardware" for lead itself
| being metal is harder than some things that
are soft, while also being softer than some
things that are hard. But by what stretch
of the imagination linseed oil, turpentine,
putty and kerosene come to be ranked III this
category we are at a loss to guess. And yet
these must be 'hardware, elsewise Rail
would mt keep EN- and sell EN-. Just now
he is receiving these wares by the train load.
Cheaper than dirt is the price of such-at his
hands Of course china, stone and glass fab
RIGS are hardware; also lamps and chande-
iers; croquet-sets and refrigerators; waffle
irons and traps; grindstOnes and glmlets;
leather belts and corkscrews; scissors and sau-
sage machines, ETC., ETC. Rail is hardware
man. Hence these things, all these oils, all
these jugs and jiggers, door-mats, rubber
bands and Manila cordage, all, all are hard
ware things You've no idea until you price
EN-, how cheap they are selling, Got such
lots of EN-, that's the reason. Actually selling
at sacrifice-also moving machines, headers,
rakes and hoes, axes and crowbars in stacks
and windrows, and all so cheap that there's
no use a talkin'. With just the least little bit
of spending money you can go to Rails and
buy enough things to keep the house going
until after the hard times are all over. The
way to avoid Kearneyism and Millerism and
Spiritualism and all such dreadful visitations
is to go to Rails and buy some hardware.
just to look at the lots of things he is receiv
ing is almost as good as going to the world
fair at Paris, And there are George Tyrrell
and John Merle to set em up for you. They
are the only articles in the store-George and
John - that are not hardware. They are
jewelry!

LATE TRAIN-RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

broken, and died soon afterward. The lght-

Charleston and the Fair.

Charleston was poorly represented
at the Fair. She should have sent at
least thousand visitors and a large
number Of exhibits to Columbia. 1t
is to the interest Of the whole State for
Charleston and the back country to
be bound closely together; and when
ever an up-country paper speaks Of
the cxclusivencss Of Charleston, that
city is offended. We have on all occG-
sions defended Charleston from un-
warranted attacks, and hal Strivcn to
foster cordial relations between the
sections. But if Charleston refuses to
join the rest Of the State in State en-
tcrpriscs, or to show her wares at the
State Fair, she must expect to be
severely criticized. These arc the
days Of rapid transit and sharp conf
petition. Baltimore is almost as near
the up-country as Charleston. Charles
ton does comparatively no advertising
in the interior papers, and the consc-
lunbia can even give the names Of q
dozen Charleston firms. Charleston
must DO better than this. She must
advertise literally, and must moreover
snow, ny attending State Fairs and
S'atc meetings, that she is aware ofthc
existence OF considerable strip of
lahd outside Of the limits Of ST.
ihlllip's and ST. Michacls, tbot is
inhabited by civilized human beings.
otherwise, she herself may be for
