A HAPPY NEW YEAR .

We have preached a bit ola sermon, (Which
the writer fatters himself will dovetail itself
intothe chinks of the occasion) ,inanother place.
This leaves us nothing to do but TO repeat
the agreeable commonplaces Of the day. We
believe we have all fetched through the most
disastrous year that we shall see for gener-
alton; we believe that the newborn year will
bring such prosperity to the the state as We
have not enjoyed since 1872; and so, in greet
ing our readers with the compliments Of the
season, we do so with an unusual degree Of
confidence in the realization of the wish i'm
piled thereby. Perhaps, however, after all,
we had as well Jumped all this in the always
fresh and hearty, although somewhat hack
neyed hail, of 4 HAPPY New YEAR.

4 CHRISTMAS CAROUSAL.
1t RESULTS IN A ROW, AND THE DEATH OF ONE
OF THE PARTIES.

On Christmas eve party Of c0nvlvlaL spir-
its gathered at the Carson Brewery, where
they played cards and drank beer for awile,
in the best of humour, when one Of the party,
Mr. Berggans, an att&che of the brewery &C
cused another employee of the institution,
named Fred Neifer, of cheating. Considera-
bic beer and other liquors Of more quarrel
inspiring nature had been consumed, and the
result of the accusation was a clinch and a
tussle Neifer was thrown to the floor by
Berggans and was given black eye, and in
return Bercgans was bitten in the hand. The
belligerents were then separated and nothing
more was thought of the quarrel, with the
exception that Neifer lost his place at the
brewery. On Thursday last Briggans expe-
rienced considerable pain in the hGnd and
arm where he was bitten, yet sought no med
ical advice. On Friday morning his arm was
greatly swollen, still he neglected the same,
and only when the pain became intolerable,
on Friday night, did he call in the aid of a
physician but by that time his case had as
sumed such malignant form, that medical
science could do him no more good He
died yesterday morning at about 9 o'clock,
suffering greatly. He was an Alsatian, IS
years of age and unmarried. \ Coroner's in
quest will be held.

THE LATE FIRE IN THE HILLs.-The illu-
mination in the hills surrounding this city
caused much speculation in the inquiring
minds of Carsonites, No definite conclusion
was at the time arrived at, and very likely the
Carson mind would have been puzzled to the
end of time had not an old settler volunteered
the information that the lighting of these
fires was occasioned by the marriage of a
gay mahala to young indian of patrician
blood The entering of the state of wedlock
among the Washoe tribe has been an unus-
ual occurrence of late years, and when a
promising young buck has sufficient pluck to
try the experiment, the hills are always illu-
minated in this manner, doing homage to
his courage.

Harry Seamen were down from the Lake yes

Il Fatal Explosion.

That it is as dangerous to sleep oyer q
toy shop as over powder magazine was
shown one evening in Paris recently
when small stock of ammunition for
drawing-rcom pistols exploded in the
Rue Beranger with such force that it
brought to the ground house inhabited
by over 100 persons. The terror which
the explosion caused in the immediate
neighborhood was immense; and the au-
dlence in the rroisieme Theatre Franco
is, waiting for the curtain to rise, rushed
from the house in alarm. The ground
floor of the house was toy shop and
mandatory owned by man named
Blanchon. Above the shop there were
twenty-eight rooms, all of which were
tenanted. the total number of occupants
being ninty-two; besides the Maison
Blanchon itself, which employed sixty
workmen and women The explosion
took place, luckily, at the Paris dinner
time, about eight o'clock, SO that most
of the people were away. At half past
nine clock followed second explosion
bringing down the walls of the con,isu
Gus houses. This caused another panic
tor the moment. Many OF the women
had tainted from fright, and were brought
down in the arms OF the fremen Others
tore up their sheets and blankets and
made ropes to descend with. One poor
old man who had been paralyzed for years
was rescued just as the floor of his room

A Regiment Marching Through Naples.

A regiment Of infantry was coming
down the straaa. If I do not describe
this regiment as the poorest regiment
in the world, it is because it was precisely
like every other body of Italian soldicrv
that J have seen. The men were small,
spindle-legged, and slouchy. One might
have taken them for raw recruits if their
BADLY fitted white duck uniforms had not
shown signs of venteran service. AS they
wheeled into the Chiatamone, each man
trudging along at his own gait, they look
ed like flock of sheep. The bobbing
mass recalled to my mind-by that law
OF contraries which makes one thing sug.
gest another totally different-the com
pact, grand swing of the New York sew
enth regiment as it swept up Broadway
the morning it returned from Penn
sylvania at the close OF the draft riots in
1868. If the National guard had shuff1ed
by in the loose Garlbaidian fashion New
York would not have slept with so keen
sense of security as it did that July
night. The room directly under mine
was occupied by young English LADY,
VINO attracted by the roll of the drums,
stepped outon her balcony lust as the
head of the column reached the hotel. In
her innocent desire to witness a military
display she propably had no anticipation
of'the tender fusilade she would have to
undergo.
That the colonel should give the fair
stranger half furtivc salute, in which
he cut nothing in two with his sabre. was
we'll enough; but that was no reason why
every mothers son in each platoon should
look up at the balcony as he passed, and
then turn and glance back at her over his
shoulder. This singular military evolution
which cannot find set down anywhere
in Hardee's tactics, was performed by
every man in the regiment. That these
1000 or 1900 warriors refrained from

Margaret Preston has beautiful,

the fellow who died Of broken heart.
for his love was another mans wife.
Broke his heart when he was twenty
three, and died forty-seven years after
ward, at the ripe old age of seventy years.
A tough old cartilage, this masculine

it all to pieces in poetry and want to die
in sonnet, and yet be as careful of his
health and live on as long and persisten--
~ as though he was Justice of the
Supreme Court and never intended to
die. We probably misjudge Petrarch,

than heartache. Still we may have felt a
little badly about it. Margaret Preston
