A UNIQUE PARISIAN ENTERTAIN
NIENT

The fashionably fast people of the French
capital have had great treat in the Ridotto
given at Count d'Osmond's residence on the
Boulevard Maillot. The Count is very
wealthy man, celebrated for his artistic tastes,
separated from his wife, and living entirely
among fashionable fast men and women.
The fete he has just given eclipsed everything
that his extravaganza and hospitable magma
ton had heretofore invented. Over six hun
dred guests were present, and some of the
most celebrated men in France could not re-
sist the temptation to take part in the gave
ties of the Ridotto. Even Due Decazes, Count
Moltke and Baron Adolphe de Rothschild put
on the Nanetian gown when they learned
that Gounod, Gustave Dore, Carolus Duran,
Gustave Nadaud, Sarah Bernard, Marie He'll
bron, Schneider, Pasca, Montaland and many
others would all be there.
The letters of invitation were exchanged at
the entrance for little cdrtOnnetS, which the
guests were requested to we.r in a conspicu-
Gus manner, like horse race ticket. Every
cart0nnet had a number on it, and the first
part of the entertainment consisted in the
drawing of these numbers by special com
mission, which had charge of the regulation
of the proceedings.
To every number on the pink cartonnets
for ladies was drawn another on the white
ones for gentlemen, and the two persons bear
ing the corresponding numbers were thus
coupled for the evening. This was done with
a view to break the ice at the very start and
avoid all formal introductions.
The fete was not merely a masked ball, but
a concert, of a strictly burlesque character,
of course, but with absolute exclusion of
everything already known in the way of
songs and music. Before the supper, which
is described as having been a gastronomic
saturnalia, rosiere was crowned
The name of her who was to be the Queen
of Chastity on that occasion was drawn from
a golden urn containing the names of all
ladies present Oddly enough, this lot fell
upon Suzanne LAGER, that famous veteran of
the cafe chantant and vaudeville sta e. She |
was crowned with orange blossoms and re-
ceived dowry of 100000 francs in all sorts |
of repudiated and defaulted foreign bonds,
including not few American securities

DAGGETT.

The MoRSING APPEAL, with all it's diff
dence, sometimes takes liberties. 1t has taken
the liberty of scolding Brother Daggett for
some of his lesser delinquenc!es, as becomes
its character of great moral teacher and
ethical disciprinarian. 1t is now about to take
another liberty 1t is the liberty of referring
to Daggett in his newly acquired attitude OF a
candidate for Congress. A very solid Re-
publican in all his convictions and sentiments,
ends, aims, ambitions and purposes is Dag
gett. Republicanism in Nevada is so init
mately associated with his name that to men,
ton is to awaken the brightest glories and
most sacred memories of our partys achieve
ments. His renown needs no mention in the
Congressional Directory to give it luster
Grant lent his illustrious name to the party
in 1868, and indicated the victories of his
sword Daggett lends his name to the party
in 1873, that it may avail to vindicate the
splendid victories of his pen. He will be
elected to Congress by such a sweeping
majority as will revive the memories of the
war, restore to the party its ancient prestige
and impart new life and hope and courage
to the Republi cans of Nevada.

GENERAL COMMON.

''Once a captain, always a captain; so says
the old proverb General Common was the
preference of the MORNING APPEAL for the
nomination for Governor upon the Republican
ticket He went before the Convention at
Eureka and was defeated. His successful
competitor is worthy to win the laurelsof such
a victory After his defeat the General called
upon the writer at his hotel in Eureka Scr
row for the unlucky outcome was expressed
upon our side 'EYou did your part, said
the General, 'and nobody but myself is to
blame" The county of Eureka is associated
with Lincoln and White Pine in judicial
District. The candidates for the Republican
nomination for Judge were Sabin and Daven-
port. On the morning of Thursday before
the Convention was ready to proceed to bust
ness. the Eureka delegation got together and
resolved to give an undivided support to Con
nor Also they pledged themselves to support
Davenport When the Lincoln delegation
(Sabins supporters), learned that the Eureka
delegation were pledged against their man T"r
Judge, they went TO Common and notified him
that unless he procured enough votes from
Eureka to help Sabin to secure his nonlna-
ton, they would vote against him. 81 can
not do this with honor" replied the old SOL
der. "You will be defeated, then, was the
reply $50 be it" answered the General; and
so he was, defeated because he entertained
too high a sense of honor to do a thing which
he did not believe was right-defeated by
three votes, only. The MORNING APPEAL has
had no purpose but TO secure to the Republi-
can party the strongest available materials for
its ticket. 1t believed i'll Counor strength be-
cause Of the glories which cluster about his
name. 1t is proud of hun In his honorable
defeat There is more true satisfaction IN
turn of fortune, thus brought about, with all
its adversities, than i'll any victory gained
through less honorable and courageous
course. Conner deserves his high name. He
is every inch a soldier. No reverse can wiring
from him unmanly complaints; no misfortune
can sour him against his party; no dlsappolnt-
ments can cast him down or impair for one
moment the purity of his loftypatrlotism; no

swerve him from a hope and purpose to " de
feat the rebel Democracy" Henry Kinlead
has won the prize. He has done so honora-
by and like a man. Common bears with him
within the privacy of his stainless life an
honor which is above the allurements Of office.
Let us rejoice that there are such high
minded men as these within our ranks-Kin-
kead to wear the laurels of victory, Conner
to wear the aurels Of honorable defeat

kINKEAD.

When we were casting about for somebody
State Convention with a view to contesting
the rather arrogant assumption sometimes
entertained that the gubernatorial nomination
belonged to Storey, not unmindful of the
superb qualities of Henry Kinkead, we
thought we saw in General Conner and his
glorious record as a soldier such parts as
promised to awaken an enthusiasm i'll the
ranks of the people such as could not be
aroused by the names of any other man
within our borders. Not that we loved
Kinkead less but that we believed in Connors
strength more, did We thus proclaim the
preference of the MORNING APPEAL. Nobody
IL so popular as our nominee for Governor,
and nowhere is there a more pleasing and
deserving citizen. The State may well honor
such as he. He will bring to the Executive
Office rare business qualifications, polished
manners, and the instincts of thorough
gentleman. His nomination gives unqualified
satisfaction. He will make a magnificent
run, particularly in Storey, Ormsby, Washoe
and Humboldt. In every other county he
will receive the full support of his party, he
will gain In strength every day from now
until the day Of election, and what's best, he
will be the next Governor of the State, as
he was the first Treasurer of the Territory of
Nevada.

HON. C.. n. HARRIS.

An impression which does injustice to
Judge Harris has got abroad. 1t is the false
Impression that he sought for and failed to
obtain the nomination at the hands of the
Republican State Convention, of Attorney
General. The truth is, that the delegation
from Ormsby County, while it was ready to
lend him hearty support if he had asked
for it, were generously released from any
geographical" embarrassments by himself.
At no time during the sitting of the Conyen-
tiou, either while it was i'll the throes Of its
preliminary organization or after it had begun
upon its order of business, did the Judge once
mention his aspirations, if he had any. And
when the nomination of an Attorney General
was in order, he came to the delegation and
with characteristic generosity announced his
purpose of withholding his name He stood
by his friends like hero throughout and
exhibited his manly unselfshness in manner
not to be forgotten and never to be too highly
appauded He is a Republican of whom his
fellows may well be proud

HIS GEOGRAPHY.

BY mistake with regard to facts, Mr..
Hammond has been credited to Ormsby, The
truth is, as all who were present at the Con-
vention know, he was nominated for Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction as from Lander
it was understood, in advance, by the Ormshy
delegation that his geography should be
thus asserted. Senator Farrell in placing his
name before the Convention said distinctly
that all Lander asked for was Mr. Hammond S
nomination. We make this statement in

GRASSHOPPERS A gentleman from Sierra
Valley gives the Reno Journal the following
interesting account of the depredations COM
mitted by the grasshoppers in that valley ::
He says that over three-fourths of the crop
has been destroyed this year that while the
old ones are flying away and dying off they
have laid nyriads of eggs all over the valley,
thus ensurlng the visitation OF the plague
again next year. There is no use to try to
destroy the eggs, for they are so thick that
the united anG persistent efforts of every
farmer i'll the vallew would only result ia
killing very small portion of them. The
soil is full, and the eggs seem almost indie
structi0le. Water has been run over them,
but when the mud dries and cracks out will
come the little rascals after a little warm
weather, with gluttonous appeties. Fire will
kill them, but it will also destroy everything
else, and of course that is out Of the question
Nor could they hope to destroy enough to
prevent future depredations, for their powers
of increasing are marvellous. He has squeezed
some that were about to lay and has found all
the way from 20 to 100 eggs in them. They
fly in clouds, and at great distances some
times are very notional, and sometimes rise
and desert a place without any apparent
reason, only to alight on some spot probably
a hundred miles away. Sierra Valley was
visited by grasshoppers in 1859 and great de-
struction was wrought. After several years
they suddenly left, and were next heard of in
San Diego-S00 miles away. Many of the
farmers will not plant crops this next season,
but this will not effect the insects, as the
crops are always large and they do
not stand on ceremony. Property that would
this year hardly paid taxes. Nor can they
ook forward to change for the better In
TACT next year the plague promises to be !
worse, because the number of eggs laid are
infinitely greater than in an year before |
Thus is one of the prettiest and most fertile |
valleys made desolate. We sympathize with |
he farmers, and hope that the time is not far |
1ence when they will be freed from this per
'ecution.

Like hailstones the days drop from
the clouds of time to fall cold and drea-
ry into the fathomless past. The hopes
of Monday morning are the graves Of
night,
The new mound in the cemetery
marks Deaths bruises on the desolate
human heart. Many hearts Joy has
been dipped in sadness. Many are the
hearts darker than the newly made
grave, for the lamp of love is broken
and the hope of the future, gone. The
handsome boy, with his winning, win
some ways, whom none knew but to
love then the truth loving, honest,
proud, sensitive man. whose lips were
never known to retail gossip, or assist
in tearing another's good name to pieces
and last of all, the dear, genial suf-
ferer, suffering with a heroism, q pa
tience marvellous in its endurance,
beautiful to be remembered.
All, all, gone from us, hut the dear,
tired eyes, we believe, though closed on
earth, have opened within the pearly
gates of The New Jerusalem. Then we
should dry our eyes. If we only will,
death is not dread-tul..;;ssit is but the step
ping stone to the fruition of. the hearts
longings, only the sleeping here to AVA
ken there, the sinking to rest when
wearied with the labors of the day and
waking at Home, where, in the sun
shine of Our Fathers wondrous love
and of the dear ones who have gone be
fore, we shall find relighted the lamp Of
life and it will go no more out, neither
grow dim forever.
"How lovely, how sweet the repose of the tom
No ternpests are there; but the nightingale

And sing their sweet ehoruses ever.
Here the Traveller, worn with life's pilgrimage

Lays down his rude staff like one that is weary
And sweetly reposes forever"

All Diseases of the Blood,

If VEGETINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
many remedies, suffering for years, is it not con-
elusive proof, if you are sufferer, you can be
cured? Why is this medicine performing such
Circulating fluid. it can truly be called the
GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER. The great source
of disease originates in the blood; and no med
icine that does not act directly upon it, to purify
and renovate, has any just claim upon public
attention,
