Smile Whenever You,Can,


When ;hug~ don't 20 to suit you,
Aud the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in lrctting
But drive away that lrown;
Since life is oft pcrplcXmg,
'Tis much the wlscst plan
To bear all trials braycly,
And TO smile whenever you can.
Why should you dread tomorrow,
Aud thus despoil to-day?
For when you borrow trouble,
You always have to pay.
1t is good Old maxim
Which should often be preached;
Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached,
You might be spared much signing,
Ifyou want to keep in mind
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined,
There must be something wanting
Aud though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from your caskct
The precious je@e,-health.
And though you're strong and sturdy,
You, may have an empty purse;
Aud earth has many trials
Which | consider worsc
But whether JOY or sorrow
Fill up your mortal span,
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile whenever you eau.

PERSONALS.

Judge A NJ Hillhouse, of Eureka, was
registered yesterday at the Ormsby House.
He takes the stump for the Democratic side,
and we believe makes his first speech of the
campaign at Virginia City this evening. Col.
A. c. Ellis will speak at the same meeting.
c. c. Stevenson, one of the principal
owners in the South Standard mine, Bodie,
and the owner of other valuable mining pro-
perty there, went out on the Bodie stage yes
terday morning.
o. T. Barber, of ellison & Barber, was
among the arrivals by last evenings Southern
stage. Mr. B. came from Bodie, which place
he represents as hourishing. Business is
generally good, he says, and the mines of
Bodie never looked better.
Hon. Fl. K. Mitchell, widely known in
Nevada as successful member of the bar and
an unsuccessful politician-cause why he's
of the Democratic school-spent few hours
in Carson yesterday, and went to Virginia in
the evening.
Dick Guiberson, of Eureka, and Sergeant
alarms of our last State Senate, was also
here awhile yesterday, and he, too, went up
to the Comstock.
R. F. Pixley, late of Carson, but now a
dwelIer by the Golden Gate, was among the
up bound passengers by yesterdays lightning
express Bob looked healthy, and had the
appearance of man who had been "buying

CARSON OPERA HoUsE-sTRUCK OIL

BY advertisement in today's MORNING
APPEAL the reader is informed that Mr.. and
Mira. j. G. Williamson, supported by the first
class stock company of Baldwin's Theater,
San Francisco, will appear in the Carson
Opera House on next Monday night, the en-
gsgement being limited to one night. Mr..
and Mrs. Williamson will appear in their
dramatic specially of "Struck Oil" which
will be followed by the original California
sketch Of "The Chinese Question" the stars
appearing in the principal roles of both
pieces. 'FStruck Oil" which has been sue
cessfully played in the United States, Great
Britain and Ireland, India and the Australian
colonies, is the exclusive property of the Will
liamsOuS, having been written for them, we
believe, by Clay Greene, of San Francisco. 1t
is full of the jolliest of fun, is tempered with
the finest touches of pathos, and is, in short,
one of the greatest of modern dramatic sue
oesses Those who remember Jimmy Will
hanson as the low comedian of the California
Theater, to which position he succeeded John
T. Raymond as we'll as those who knew his
wife (Maggie Moore) in the old times of Cal
ifornia, need not be told that these very clever
performers improve all the opportunities
given them in ''Struck OIL and the after
piece. Comparisons are generally odiOus, but
there is more contagious fun in ten minutes
on the stage of Maggie Moore than in whole
engagement of Lottie. The Williamsons'
support embraces Messrs. Bishop, Robinson,
Bradley, Seymour, Hedley and Simpson, and
Mosdames Denim and Eberle, all old-time
favorites with Carsonites. The box sheet for
Mondays performance is now open, and we
advise our friends to lose no time in securing
seats, remembering that the management has
wisely adopted the rule of making no extra
charge for reserved seats.

AS TO THE COMING MEETINGS.

With the weight of State politics on one it
isn't surprising that minor matter, such as
the dates of political meetings, should creep
into these usually reliable columns in a
jumbled manner. So much for the intro
duction. Now to case in point We said
in yesterday paper that Messrs. Lewis and
Woodburn would speak here on next Monday
night They do no such thing, but they do
speak in the Carson Opera House on next
Thursday evening, and all else We said about
these gentlemen's ability to entertain and
instruct applies here, The Republican meet
ing for next Monday night, which every
patriot in and about Carson should and doubt
less will attend, will be addressed by Col
Bob Taylor, of Storey, and Hon. III. A
Murphy, Republican candidate for Attorney
General.

A Cubic Mile.

Professor Bernstein, an eminent natu-
ralist, in Berlin, Germany, gives the fol-
lowing graphic description of one Ger
man geographical cubic mile Zone mile
equals 10, 126 yards) to illustrate the size
of our earth, which contains only 1862
such: Imagine box one mile each
way-long, wide, and deep-and let us
try to fill it up. Berlin is handy, we
throw it into our box. We go to Pots
dam, pick up all the villages on our
way also, and put all in. The bottom is
not covered yet We will take Paris,
with all her columns, towers, and
churches, which helps little, so we must
take London also. Vienna must go in,
too; and, not to disturb the peace, st.
Petersburg follows next All this stuff
lies at the bottom. We begin now to
take up all the cities, towns, villages,
forts, farms, everything that human
hands have built in Europe, and all the
ships floating on the sea. 1t helps moth
ing! We must go to old and new
worlds, throw in the pyramids of Egypt
and the railroads and factories of Amer
lea, and everything else made by men
in Asia, Africa, Australia, and Amer
ica--lo! our box is not half full yet !
We will shake up the things little to
make them even; and, as we are bound
to fill the box, let us see whether we can
not do it with people and lay them in
like behring's. One row will require
$4,000, and 1000 rows make one layer of
As, 000, 000-just enough for North Amer
leans. To make them feel more COM
Portable, we will put between each layer
bed of straw and leaves, say thirty feet
thick, which will take all the straw and
leaves in the world. Upon the Amer
leans we will lay 100000 of Austria
Hans and As, 900, 900 of Asiatics, another
layer. There are about SOC, 900, 900 more
Asiatics; thus we proceed until all the
rest of mankind are in-1 400, 000, 900, in
about thirty layers. The box is now
about half full, and it would require
about fifteen times that number of peo-
pie to fill it. What shall we do? Ami
mails, of course, are still left. Take the
whole animal creation, yet it is not full;
and all this is only one geographical
cubic mile, of which the earth contains
1862"

Editing a Newspaper.

There is scarcely an average American
who does not consider himself fitted by
nature to run a newspaper. He does not
attempt to run carpenter shop or q
church; he does not believe he could ar
que case in court or prescribe for a
man in sickness but when it comes to a
newspaper, he would like to take q hand
in that himself. We have been through
the mill so often that we know exactly
how the people feel OH this subject. Men
say to us, CHOW, if was running your
paper, would make it red hot on this
question" Heated journals burn the
fingers often of those who handle them,
and generally injure the cause they ad-
vocate. One man would show up the
inconsistencies Of his fellow journalists
and make him ridiculous by showing
that he once occupied different grounds
from that on which he now stands. Such
writer would fail on the start, for
readers understand that their sentiments
undergo constant change. IT may count
something to bring charges of change
ableness against an individual in public
life, but newspaper which has reflected
and perhaps aided to direct the current
of public thought, is never injured by
any such charge. s..
Some would publish another's editor
ials, not understanding that the senti-
ments of another would give no tone 10
his own paper. Apolitician would leave
out all the " silly stories" and fill the
paper with statistics and speeches Of
congressman. A lawyer would publish
full reports of the doings Of the courts
and the opinions of the Judges. A mer-
chant would elaborate the market re-
ports till they filed half the paper A
spooney whose tastes run to gossip and
millinery, would enlarge on the doings
of society and embalm in type the i'm
sipid droolings of sentimental softs.
These occasionally try their hands at
journalism, but they invariably fail, and
are compelled to content themselves
with criticisms on the existing state of
the press and with copious suggestions to
those who have made the business the
vocation of their lives. Let any Of these
e. ntlemen put his surplus capital in a
newspaper and try to run it himself and
he will soon learn how the ancient thing

The American Flamingo.

Mrs. Mary Treat writes in 81. Nicholas
for February: The American famingo,
with his gorgeous scarlet feathers is
superb fellow. He is very shy, and
peculiarly afraid of man. On account
of its fine apparel, it has been more
closely pursued than almost any other
bird. 1t does notfgo north like some of
the herons, but Audubon says it has
occasionally been seen in South Carolina.
Its constant home, however, is in the
southern part of Florida and along the
Gulf coast
Like the herons, the flamingoes are
sociable and live in focks. They have
webbed feet, which give them an advan-
tage over the herons in enabling them
to swim as well as to wade. ] have
never been able to get near enough to
these birds to gain any personal knowl-
edge of their habits.
The nest of the famingo is curious
affair; usually built in marshy, muddy
place, in the form of a mound. 1t is
made of sticks and grass and mud to the
height of twoor three feet, with hollow
in the middle to hold the eggs. The male
is said to assist in the construction of the
nest, but this is probably mere conjec-
ture, for l think no one living at the
present time has been able to get near
enough to these birds to watch their
habits, and their nests can be reached
only with great difficulty.
The female lays two white eggs about
the size of those of goose. 1t is said
that she sits astride the nest in an
ungainly fashion, and that the young,
as soon as they are Matched, take to the
water like young ducks.
If law only could be passed to pro
tect these birds, what grand sight the
waters of Florida would soon present
These great, brilliant, scarlet birds
dallying and playing in the water, OF
wading near the shore in quest of game
would be sight never to be forgotten
Can it be possible that Florida does no
care for such glorious creatures, ant
will 'allow, year after year, thes'
marauders from the North to kill then
without single protest? Un'ess some
thing is done for the protection of thes'
splendid creatures, they must soon be
come extinct; for their range is quit
limited, and / fear the boy and CIR
readers of to day, by the time they grov
to men and women, can only read Q
these as gorgeous birds Of the past"
