PERSONAL AND IMPERsoNAL.

1t has been rumored during the past few
days that Hon. A. A. Sargent, ex-senator,
and Hon. Newton Booth, present Senator
from California, have accepted an invitation
from the Republican State Central Committee
of Nevada to stump this State, and that they
have accepted the invitation. The people
will gladly improve the opportunity of hear
ing these able expounders of RepubEcanism
w. A. Skidmore, mining expert, will be
among the arrivals in Carson this morning by
the lightning express. Mr.. S. is booked for
BOdie this morning.
Our information as to the time of the Re
publican rally, to be addressed by Messrs.
Lewis and WOodburn, was incorrect, but our
informant must shoulder the blame The
meeting will be on the evening of the 24th
INST, instead of the 10Th, and will probably
be held in the Carson Opera House.
Tho sun opened strong yesterday morning,
taking its cue, probably, from the stock
board. The day was a beautiful one, and it
came as a sort of spirit elevator after the
storm of Monday. Nothing better for rails
ing the human mind above the groveling asso-
Citations of margins than sunshiny weather.
Mr.. Ryan, manager of the boarding house
destroyed by fire at Glenbrook, Monday
morning last, was in Carson yesterday. Mr..
r: who is a Republican candidate for the
Assembly in Douglas county, was at Genoa
on Monday, where he first heard of the Glen |
brook fire.

THE "CITIZENS'" MEETING.

The Carson Theater was well filled las
night on the occasion of the ''Citizens' meet
ing, the Carson Brass Band having success
fully PLAYED two or three invitation pieces Al
an outside attraction. Had it not been free
show the efforts of the band would have pro
badly made difference of $75 in the receipts
of the house SO much for the music
Capt. B. H. Meder was made President OF
the meeting, and after explaining the object
thereof, Geo B. Hill was elected Secretary
and c. NJ Davis Sergeant-at Arms.
Next in order was the selection of a NOM
mating committee, and over this was the
usual skirmishing in motions. 1t was first
proposed to appoint committee of fifty; then
an amendment was offered reducing the num-
Der to thirty, when injudicious but zeal
Gus Democrat proposed an amendment to the
amendment to the effect that the Democrats
appoint eleven and the Republicans like
number. At this point the Chairman stated
positively that he would not put this part of
the motion. Following there was some cross
firing, but finally committee of six, consist
ing of an equal number of both factions, was
appointed to select committee of twenty two
to nominate county ticket for Ormsby.
This committee, consisting of o. K. Stamp
ley, VIM. Garrard and Alex Leport, of the
Democratic wing, and VIM. Pearson, D. 81.
Lentz and VIM. Carey, of the Republican
side of the house, retired to the dressing room
of the theater to 'make up" for the second
part, the medley portion of the entertain
ment While the committee was absent the
band played Columbia the Gem of the
Notion, (this we obtained from a musical
sharp at our Lefty which was appropriately
followed by dirge, and this by something
less funeral. The balance of the wait was
filed ia with very temperate remarks by the
editor of the Carson Tribune and Captain |
Meder
The committee returned in due time, sub
hitting list of twenty-five names as Nom
mating Committee, and the report was adopt
3D. 1t was then moved and carried that the
committee meet in the District Court-ro
Thursday, at 10 o'clock A. M, to make nom
nations, and that a mass meeting, to ratify
aid nominations, be held in the Carson The
tier on Friday evening next.
Col. T. w. w. Davies followed with grimly
humorous speech, the band played Hail to
he Something, and this funniest of meetings
diourned

NEXT REPUBLICAN RALLY.

The people can furnish no excuse for igno
rance of the issues involved in the present
campaign, especially from the Republican
standpoint, for the opportunity is offered Of
hearing Republican doctrines fully and ably
discussed from the rostrum. The next Re
publican rally in Carson will be held at the
Carson Theater, on next Monday night,
when the people will be addressed by Hon.
R. H. Taylor-Bob, for Shorthand Hon. NJ
A. Murphy, Republican candidate for Attor-
ney General. Nearly all of our citizens have
heard Judge Taylor, and it is hardly neces-
sary to remind them that he is one of the
most entertaining and convincing political
speakers in Nevada Mr. Murphy, we be-
lieve, is unknown to most of the readers of
the MORNING APPEAL as connected with the
hastings, but all know his earnest fealty to
the cause of Repnblicanism, and all will be
anxious to hear him on the approaching occa
sion.

THE LADIES'! AID SOCIETY PARTY

The social party to take place this evening
under the management of the Ladies' Aid
Society, at the new Opera House, promises to
be a most enjoyable affair. The expense is Sc
slight that everybody can afford to go and for
get stocks, politics and troubles generally for
few hours. One dollar covers expenses: 30
cents admission, land 80 cents for your refresh
ing cup of coffee and delicious "home made
sandwiches; nothing in the way of extras will
be introduced to beguile the unwary. Go
and take your wife or sweetheart and be
merry. AS it is not dress parade, "nothing
to wear" will not be sufficient excuse for
staying at home.

A Beer Drinking Horse.
lLouisvirls courisr,Journai.,

It Is argued by those who desire an
excuse for using alcoholic stimulants
that it is q taste natural to man. and dis.
tinguishes man more than anything else
from the beast. DR.. Richardson, who
has himself tested the matter. INSERTS
that cats, dogs. horses, birds. and all
animals upon which he has made the
experiment. grow fond OF alcoholic
stimulant from frequent use. One in
stance which he relates Is OF a horse
which learned TO drink beer. He says /:
"0no DAY whom ! was riding in u hired
carriage near to Canterbury. tho horse
stopped short ct a wayside public house.
I asked the driver what that was for.
Tho horse said he. always stops here
for his beer |; he wouldn't go by on no
account /; you couldn't whip him by, sir.
till he has had his beer. His former
master taught him to drink beer. and in.
variably treated him to II at this house.
aud here he'll stop till he gets it, II
was the fact. A large tankard Of beer
was brought ont for that horse. aud lie
disposed OF the fluid with rs much relish
as his master. and then went on his
way. 'It's q shame added the driver.
but young fellows from London. who
like a joke, and who also like beer them
selves, will sometimes give him q lot and
make him very drunk. Then he is awk.
ward to drive. and bad for two or three
days afterwards. and We have to give
him more beer to keep him up. which

A proposition is pending before both
branches OF the Georgia Legislature, to
reward tho men who bore arms against
the nation in the war Of the rebellion.
II is proposed to e1emp, from State and
county taxation all Confederate soldiers
who were wounded in the service Of
treason. and II is understood that the
other rebellious States will follow the
example Of Georgia in this matter. The
expectation Of the South was to secure
such a victory for the Democrats at the
late election that the control OF Congress
would be in their hands. aud then to
grant pensions to Confederate soldiers,
to be paid out Of the National Treasury.
That scheme has failed. aud the Repub-
lican gains made have warned the South
that. for the present, at least, it is not
safe to attempt to divert the revenues Of
this nation into a channel which shall
reward treason at tbs expense Of the
loyalty Of the people.
As our Constitution now stands, the
State OF Georgia has a perfect right to
exempt these men from local taxation.
and the nation has no right to protest.
All the same. !. is an insult to the Gov
eminent Of the United States. and is
practically putting a premium on treason
in the future. II will be looked upon in
the North as u more warning Of what
may be expected II this generation Of
Southerners is ever allowed to gain
power again in the councils OF the nation.
IL Is q suggestive commentary upon the
policy Of cancellation" and proves
e~onelusively that the South OF to-day is
just the same in sentiment as the South
Of 1850. Treason is still held honor
able among the men whom we have
trisf to eonciliate. and very nearly
ruined ourselves in the attempt. Every
day vindieaies the policy OF General
Grants administration. and every day
renders 1t more probable that he will be
the next President Of the United States.

How a Hunter Saved His Life.

lCalveras Chronlcle.l
Ned Wallace. OF Jesus Maria. killed n
cougar the other day that measured
eight feet in length. Mr.. Wallace was
out hunting and during his search for
game fell on a couple Of young cougars.
He shot one Of the cubs dead and
wounded the other. The wounded one
set up q crying and whining that was
heard by its mother, and before Wallace
could reload his rifle he was startled by
q terrifying cry. He knew II came from
the female cougar. an animal that. when
aroused and enraged, has no superior
in strength. activity and ferocity. A
crash In the brush on the hillside above
him and q repetition Of the frightful
scream that sounded almost human,
warned Wallace OF his perilous situa-
ton. and he prepared to face the danger.
His rifle was empty. With tho utmost
celebrity he threw q handful Of powder
into the barrel and showed . bullet down
after II without the Formally Of enca.
sing the latter In q patch. As no hur.
riedly finished Gaping the weapon and
drew his hnife. the cougar was within
twenty feet Of him preparing for the
spring that would have probably cost
him his life. Quick as thought Wallace
leyelled his rifle and fired, the bullet
luckily striking the animal in the breast.
inficting a fatal wound. The cougar
leaped fully ten feet into the air and fell
dead ut wallace's feet. The skins Of
the cougar and her cub are on exhibi-
ton in Jesus Maria. That OF the full.
grown animal measures eight feet in
length.
