A BEAUTIFUL PRESENT.

Last evening in the guards quarters at the
| Nevada State Prison, the members of the
guard presented to their Captain R. Command
a very beautiful medal or remembrance in the
shape of large Maltese cross of gold and
black enamel. 1t is very deliberately chased
and handsomely lettered-the letters being of
black enamel, A pin, fashioned after cuff
pin and hinged to the top of the cross carries
the word Captain, in ornate Roman letters
Then on each of the fanges or faces of the
cross the words Nevada State Prison Guard.
In the center of the cross, in circle is very
clever design, representing a prison guard
near his box on the top of the wall, and a
sun burst behind him This is done with
really artistic hand On the back of the cross
are the words, "Presented to Capt. r. Con
nand by the Guards Jan. l, 1873" Mr.. Moger
of the force presented the cross in a neat speech
and the captain who was taken entirely by
surprise was very greatly moved, and too
thankful for utterance. It is a splendid pres
ent most worthily bestowed; for the captain is
not only of the best Of officers but one Of the
most deserving of gentlemen. The medal IS
the workmanship of Butch Of Virginia City
and reflects great credit on his handcraft

TRAIN ITEMS.

We noticed yesterday morning in the
smokin. car large, stern looking man seated
by the stove in the impressive attitude of
John Sharp, who attracted our attention by
the bold and commanding manner he ordered
the news boy to bring him paper and asked
sternly chow much" We inquired about
him Ed Stonehill told US his name was c.
Kendell of California and that he once re
sided in White Pine We think we have
heard his name before
Two sleepers came up yesterday morning
Mrs. Nye, Judges Mesick and Lewis were
among the passengers.
Notwithstanding the storm the morning
express was only fifteen minutes late. Men
are engaged clearing the track and switches
all along the line
The snow pillow was out yesterday.
Senator Baker of Eureka left last evening
for the bay Crit. Thornton and Judge
Seeley came down from Virginia bound for
the same port. Bill Leete and Put the
vetaran bus driver of the Comstock were
among the passengers both en- route for
Arizona.
The southern stage connected with the
train last night despite the storm. Excellent
time. Con reports the roads the worst he
ever saw.

A Coon SUBJECT.-One Of the members of
the Virginia Relief Committee told us Of an
application lately received which is not bad,
considering the state of the stock market. A
woman came to the Committee rooms and
begged for relief. The usual questions were
asked. Among others, Have you any ready
moneys" ooh, yes" was the reply, Il have
thirty dollars month" "Well, what do
you do with that? he queried, ''Why, I
keep that, she naively replied, ''to pay the
assessments on my stocks The Committee
man told her he thought she was hardly a
proper subject for relief, and that hopest
female retired feeling that the greatest injus-
tice had been done her, quite indignant, in
fact. Oh, the cruelty of that Committee man.
WAC needs relief as much as a regular assess
ment payer!

THE AMATEUR EMBARRASSMENT.

We do not believe it necessary to say any
thing to our discriminating readers (and all
the readers of the MORNING APPEAL are of
that description) to induce them to attend the
entertainment proposed by the amateurs
whose names are found in the programme
elsewhere printed. perusal of the pro
gramme itself is enough We note that Mr.
Laughton and Mr.. Harry Whitney are cast
for the overture. That means that Charley
Laughton will play the violin and that Mr.
| Whitney will accompany him upon the piano.
! Nobody in Carson need be told how delight
full performer Mr.. Laughton is. Doubtless
he is the best ameteur violinist on the coast;
certainly he is the best in Nevada. Mr..
Whitney is very accomplished young gen
tleman; and his piano playing is spoken Of in
the warmest terms by excellent judges of mu
steal matters The quartette by Mrs. Howe
and Mrs Bender and Messrs Mason and
Scoville will be very charming. nrs, Howe
has very sweet soprano voice; aud all who
recollect the performance Of the Oratorio of
Esther will call to mind the excellence and
evident culture of Mrs BenderS very pure
contralto Mr.. Masons splendid tenor and
Mr. Scoville's full, sonorous baritone &ave
been heard from choir and rostrum 50 lften
and met with 50 much applause that We need
but to mention their names to assure our
readers, in advance, of the certain excellence
of the rendition of The Homestead on the
Hill We are glad to note that Miss Stella 4
Gates, who has a very decided talent pub
lie performances, will sing a solo We may
all be sure that Mr. Scovile vii do Trow-
bridges ''vagabond' in admirable fashion.
His little trick dog is the cutest OF the cute;
and being prayerful little animal his efforts
in behalf of the church are singulaGly appro-
pirate. Miss Celina Beer, one Of the more
recent acquisitions to the society OF our little
city is said to be a magnificent pianist. That
she is to play solo we are glad to know
The whole to conclude with the Boston Dip

cert will be splendid success, rain or shine.

January, 1879, by making the silver
dollar of 4l2h grains the legal stand
ard for the payment Of all debts and
measures of commercial operations
in the United States, it is the duty of

making his appearance was knocked
in the head and left insensib!e. He,
however, recovered after some time
and made his escape. His family al
so escaped, almost naked, to the
woods. The mutineers then released
the convicts and altogether number
ed nearly 200, armed with rifles. The
following day the mutineers commit
ted the most incredible excuses in the
way of wanton killing, burning and
sacking. Next day the mutineers
left the place carrying off all public
funds and much private property.
They burned all the public proper
ty and number of stores, in fact the
best part of the town is in ashes. The
streets were strewn with dead bodies
of the killed. Most of the killed
were soldiers who had been shooting
each other indiscriminately. 1t is es.
timated that at least fifty people were
killed. Many dead and wounded
were burned in the building. The
hospital burned with five wounded
men in it.
Commander Rodgers says it was
the intention of the mutineers to cap.

suggesting fine anchorage under
guns of the fort. He then went te

ton ofaflairs. Commodore Rodgers
took the mutineers on board of hi,

where his presence was much appre
ciated by the Gillian authorities.

tenn of commercial travelling or SELL
ing goods by sample is still discussed
and causing quite a futter among
those interested. One traveller says
he thinks the abolition of commercial
travelling would be suicidal for New
York, as other cities will then make
moro strenuous efforts to get the trade
and good travellers will seek those
cities for aud obtain employment
Being known to customers they will
be able to get the trade as we'll for

The London Pau MGN Gazette in
discussing our silver bill takes this
rational view of the question:
Now, if the contemplated monetary
legislation Of the United States is in
tended to restore the American silver
dollar from a mere money of account
to its appropriate place in the coinage,
this legislation is not only defensible,
but even highly commendable on
many grounds, upon which it is need
less here to dwell with technical de-
tails. Suffice it that neither domestic
nor foreign creditor would have q
right to complain, inasmuch as the
implied computation Of values In all
contracts where the reverse 10 not ex.
pressly declared is alb initi0 and as q
matter Of course the silver dollar.
The Treasury being unable to use
both precious metals concurrently and
as might be found most convenient,
the enormous transactions consequent
upon the resumption Of specie pay
ment by SO great commercial COM
munity would undoubtedly 60 far to-
wards readjusting the proper rela-
tions between gold and silver, which
have lately been SO unaccountably
perturbed, to the prejudice of the lat
ter metal. The public at large and
the worlds commerce could not be
otherwise than benefited by such .
readjustment, and the loss, if any,
would fall upon certain rings Of spec.
ulstors.
