THAT ENTIRE NOUS RECEPTION.
A TART sR1rLKR IN EXPLANATION.

city went up to Virginia on special invitation
to attend an Entire Nous party, at which tn
German was to be produced as the mail
feature of the entertainment. The manne
in which the guests were received Tor rattle
not received) and treated by their hosts die
not reflect great credit on the Virginians. Ii
fact, number of the Carsonites who attended
the German" felt so much annoyed anC
hurt by the indifference with which they were
treated and the embarrassing lack of cour
teous attention that they had to put up with
during the whole affair that, in the absence
of everything like explanation, several
of them have determined never to
accept an invitation from the Entire Nous
Among Ourselves] Club again. Apropos
of this affair we have been shown and al
lowed to publish letter received here yes
terday, by a gentleman of Carson from a
friend of his in Virginia City. The writer
has delicate appreciation of the courtesies
and amenities of polite usage, and evidently
is greatly annoyed for himself and the gen.
eral membership of the Entire Nous Club that
there should have been any direliction in
duty to their guests. But the letter speaks
plainly enough for itself:
VIRGINIA, New, March II, 1879.

nan talk of getting up testimonial for the
olOred usher.
These are rather unfavorable notices of the |
srty given by the German Club" last
Wednesday evening. AS I happen to be a
lember of this club, and, as like nearly all |
he members, l feel aggrieved at the action of
he self-constituted Committee on Invitations |
nd Reception, l would like to explain our |
tuation in the premises, hoping that you
ill take it upon yourself to make q similar
kplanation to any of the Carson gentlemen
18th whom you may have opportunity to dis
lss the matter. The failure to make pro-
sion for carriages at the depot to convey
lr visitors through the muddy streets, the
eglect of the extraordinary Committee to
AXE any effort themselves to entertain our
tests or to introduce them to other men,
,rs of the club; the banquet of weak lemon
le which, under their supervision, was
rived I'D as the refreshment of the evening;
I'd several other things too disgusting to
ention, formed a display of prodigal frugal
anu Wtut Vi dtt6ublOu was nOb OllS |
dependent of our sanction but was of ma
re to mortify and insult us. When /
Y us, mean to include all members of the
ub except the Committee of Five, which
IS entirely self constituted. In fact, we
d no notification that any strangers would
present, nor were we apprised of their
essence in Virginia until they made their
pearance in the hall. Were it not for fear {
being classed, by gentlemen in your town S
whom entertain the highest regard and /
eem, with a parcel of idiots, l should re-
lin silent and allow, myself no feeling in 7
is matter, for do not believe that in all Z
,tice and courtesy our club, as an organiza- 8
n, can be held blamable for the presump- Z
JUS and i'll advised conduct of few of its T
mbers." O
We do not know tha4 re are fully author
d, or that it is necessary to give the name
the author of this rather sharp epistle, but /"
is not one of the kind who shrink from the q
of their utterances. Il
ADDITIONAL SrAGEs.-Frank Cluggage, the t.
prietor of the Bodie stage line, will in all
liability put on additional coaches by the y
of next month So we shall have two h.
% running out of this town to Bodie The n,
v line will be run by way of Bridgeport, al
rtening the distance between ten and n,
I've miles, while the old line will continue
AXE in Aurora as heretofore.
