Oh! l wander to-day TO tho hills
Maggie.
To watch the scenes below.
W here the creek and the creaking old
mill, Maggie,
AS we used TO long ago.
The creek road is gone from the hill
Maggie,
Where irst the dasies sprung,
But the creakine old mill is still, Maggie,
Since you and | were young.
CHORUS:
But now we are aged & gray. Mnggie,
The trials Of life nearly done,
Let rs sing Of the days that are gone
Maggie,
Since you and were young.

Where the young and the gay aud the

In the polished white mansions Of stone,
Maggie,
Have each found place of rest,
It's built where the birds used to play
Maggie,
And join in the songs that were sung,
For we sang as gay as they, Maggie,
When You and | were young.
CHORUS:
But now we arc aged and gray, &c.
They say am feeble with age, Maggie,
My steps are less sptigbtIy than then,
Ny face is a welI-written page, Maggie,
But time alone was the pen.
They say We are aged and gray, Maggie,
AS sprays by the white breakers flung,
Rut 10 me you're as fair as you were,
Maggie,
When you and | were young.

PUBLIC SCHOOL MATTERS.

The State Board of Education yesterday is
sued and caused to be circulated the subjoineo
circular letter, relative to the educational in
interests of this State:
To THE SCHOOL OFFICERS AND TEACHERS on
NEVADA: You are hereby notified that the
Board of Education, at its meeting to-day,
prescribed the Pacific Coast Speller for use in
the Public Schools of this State, on and after
Sept. l, 1879.
The Publishers, A. L. Bancroft & Co.. ,
San Francisco have entered into an agree
ment to furnish pupils with said speller at ten
cents per copy during a period of six months
from the first day of September; after this,
at the Introductory price, twenty five cents
per copy.
The Board of Education, at its second reg
ular semi annual meeting, on the third Mon
day of next October, propose to discuss the
merits of all the text books now in use, with
reference to making any change therein that
they may deem essential to the welfare and
Improvement of the schools.
1t is proposed, especially, to substitute some
better book forthe Arithmetic in use, at pres
ent, and it will be a matter for consideration,
also, whether better reader can not be
found with which to replace Sheldons.
1t is the earnest desire of the Board of
Education that the teachers, school officers
and all others throughout the State who are in
terested in the cause of education, express
their views in this matter, whereby the most
practical results may be reached.
of the nature intimated,
suggestions of experienced and
thoughtful educators, will be heartily received
and carefully considered

OPERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT.

A very large and fashionable audience
enthusiastically welcomed the second appear
ance, within a month, of the Macauley Com
bination in their famous play of g Uncle
Danl." Without an approach to the slightest
degree of unmerited laudation, this drama is
one of the most meritorious ever presented to
an American audience. Every member of the
company enacts an interesting part. The piece
abounds from the beginning to the final ringing
down of the curtain, in the most exciting and
ludicrous situations. The sensational features,
of which the play is exceedingly prolific, are
not of the clap-trap style, but they are entire
ly new and of such character as will fascinate
beyond expression, the most critical and e1-
acting play-goer. In "Uncle DanT' Mr..
Macauley has a play that must by
reason of its extraordinary excellence and
his artistic personation of the principal
character, meet with unbounded success every
where. Miss Lizzie Timer as {" Clip" is in
comparable there is nothing strained or over
dome in the part she plays. Her acting is
string of artistic efforts admirably rendered

can not be too highly praised. In failing to
individualize the other members of this de-
serving company, it must not be supposed
that there is a solitary one who does not fully
and well carry out the part allotted to him or
her We trust that this will not be the
Macauley Combination s last visit to this city,
and in doing SO, We express the sentiment of
all Carson theatre-goers.

FRANK CHALATA, THE COUNTER
FEITER RECAPTURED.

Yesterday afternoon Sheriff George w.
Miller, of Humboldt county, brought to the
Jail to await trial before the United States
District Court, Frank Chalata, the Pole, who
was some time since caught in the act of max
ing counterfeit standard dollars, at Winnie
mucca, and who, while en- route for this place
in the custody of an officer, jumped off rail-
road train and made his escape. Immediately
after his escape Sheriff Miller started in pur-
suit of the fugitive, accompanied by small
band of Indians. The Sheriffs unreliable
aids soon gave out, and he was compelled to
prosecute the search alone He took the
route for Oregon, and during the early part
of last week he got on his mans track. On
Friday last he reached Rattlesnake, Oregon,
a point near the Nevada State line, when he
came within sight of Chalata. The latter, be-
lieving himself unseen, hid in underground,
where he laid himself fat upon the ground
Sheriff Miller circulated around that spot for
q while to get Chaiata off his guard and when
the proper time arrived, he ordered the fugi-
tive to surrender, which was done without
resistance. When captured the prisoner had
no arms or weapons of defense with him, or
Mr.. Miller might not have Jared so well.
Chalata is a very hard looking and determ-
ined character. While sitting in the Sheriff.
Office yesterday, he looked as if ne would like
to annihilate the whole human race. Sheriff
Miller has shown himself to be a brave and
intelligent officer in this case, which will no
doubt be generally recognized.

1T is important that the Fourth of July Fl
nance Committee report to his Excellency the
Governor, as early as possible before the end
of this week, whether or not they will be able
to collect sufficient funds to pay for the trans
portation and Subsistence of the Storey County
militia on the occasion of the Fourth of July
celebration here. Several of the Virginia mil
itary companies expect guests from other
points at or about that time, and, although
We speak unauthorizedly, we do not think
that the Governor would feel justified in
shouldering the responsibility of ordering the
troops to Carson, unless he can be assured
that there will be no financial difficulties at
tached to it. 1t is very essential that the Gov
ernor be advised upon this head at as early
day as practicable, and for that reason we take
the liberty of suggesting to the Committee to
make canvass of the town at once
