MORNING APPEAL.
SLANG.

In the Elko weekly Post we find the follow
ing editorial which meets such hearty en-
dorsements OF our sentiments that we repro
duce it entire: - The fecundity of the coast
in compromising slang phrases IS proverblal,
and our quaint sayings, coined III the brains
of our mixed population, and in an atmos-
phere unpurifed by woman's presence, are
usually more emphatic than refined, though
in general expressive enough. These slang
phrases and terms are by degrees being en-
grated upon our own language by their con-
slant use in newspaper literature, usually III
the reportorial columns, but too often crop
ping out in the more pretentious editorial
In fact, ma ority of the press writers seem
to have come to the conclusion that, unless
an article is more or less seasoned with slang
it lacks piquancy, and the public do not APP
preciate it. Well perhaps in the last respect
they are correct they have raised the spirit,
and do not know how to lay it down they
have by their extravaganza, created taste
to which they must minister or fail. But
they mistake coarseness for wit, and are mud
dying Tue CURRENT OI our pam hChAolI' II
must needs be when the feet of the priests
are soiled that the people drink impure water
Within few days those vile slang phrases,
"mash," - masher" and even . mashst :"
have been so paraded in the columns Of some
of our exchang es, that one almost turns away
in disgust There are thousand quaint, out
landish terms in daily use that sometimes
really expressive, but this senseIess and vuI-
gar term can be traced to no source, and has
neither sense nor wit to recommend it. Wash
ington Irving, whose quiet and pungent wit
was like the facets Of diamond, sparkling
and pure, bat incapable of rejecting cloud,
said once that he he never wrote line that
he would blot out. Would it not be well for
some of our journalistic wits to study the
Knickerbocher History or Woolf7rts Roost.
The press should be source of refinement,
and not hotbed of slang.

Wheatland, June 23.-This morning Miss
Hezlep WAS informed for the first time Of the
cause of her supposed sickness by DR., Melton.
She told the doctor that she did not believe
that she had the brain fever, as she was for
merry told, but something else the case.
After some time Dr. Melton asked her if she
knew anything about the outrage. She replied
that she did not For the last three nights
she has had a dream which is as follows: She
thought that she saw two persons-a man with
a broad brim hat, and another person which
she cannot describe-come into her bedroom
dnring the night and strike her over the head
with some weapon. She also says that in her
dream she thought that one OF the persons
pushed her down in the bed. There are three
finger marks on her body-on the breast
which would go to indicate that her supposed
dream Will turn out that it was reality instead
Of vision. 1t is hoped that snch will be the
case, as it will help a great deal to clear up
the mystery.
Miss Dunn was brought into town this ev-
ening to her parents house. She had to be
supported by pillows. 1t is hoped that both
of the girls will get along all right and be able
to be out soon.

ANOTHER MURDER NEAR WuEArLAND, -
The dispatches contain the following particu

about ten miles from Wheatland, the victim
being a Mrs. McCullem, a Canadian woman:
"A tramp came to the house and finding that
she was alone, asked her for something to eat
While she was preparing it for him he made
an assault on her person, She made des
perate resistance, but without success, after
which he made his eacape. She was in del
icate condition, and the excitement that she
underwent and the brutal treatment she re
ceived had a terrible effect on her. When
found it was thought she was in dying con
dition. On Friday last she gave birth to
dead child, and on Saturday she died. Mr.,
McCullem is engaged in the drover business
and was absent in the mountains when the
outrage was committed

presented by the Memphis Opera
Club at the Memphis Theater last
night to a fair audience, and in very
acceptable manner The attendance
was largely reduced owing to the an
cry condition of the clements, the
rain, hail and thunderstorm interfer-
ing materially to prevent many from
going. The opera was neatly and
artistically rendered, the costumes
being new and fresh, and contributing
largely to the pleasure afforded. Miss
Kate Harman, in the leading role Of
Marie, was the central star, acquit-
ting herself NEST creditably through
out. She dressed in exquisite taste
acted cxcellently, and sang beautifully
her efforts enlisting enthusiasm
especially in the solos and Duets
Mr.. McClintock performed we'll
though his voice was rather light, and
at times appeared hardly equal to the
demands of the occasion. The cho-
rusos were all effectively rendered
and contributed much to the success
of the performance, while the orches.
ira was all that could be desired.

JUDGE BUCKNER has prepared a
bill for the increased coinage of the
silver dollar, which he will introduce
on the first occasion, and have re-
ferred to the banking and currency
committee, of which he is chairman.
The bill is practically the same as the
one which was iavorably acted upon
by his committee in the last congress.
1t provides for minimum coinage of
S3,0OOOO0 a month, iustead Of $1,000.
900. as now required By law. The
secretary is to purchase the bullion at
market prices but whenever coined
silver and silver bullion shall be at par
in New York, he shall discontinue the
purchase of bullion, and thereafter it
shall be coined into STANDARD dollars
on the same terms as are now provided
for the coinage Of gold. The bill
stops the coinage Of trade dollars and
subsidiary coin. The bill Of the last
congress also contained a provision
for the exchange of the silver dollar
at the sub-treasury in New York and
at the Philadelphia mint for gold
but this section has been dropped out
of the present bill, as it was not con-
sidered advisable to put the two
measures into one bill.

Kansas City Times.
The influx of hundreds of negroes,
possessed with the Kansas idea, -
and the prospective arrival of thou.
sands more, have awakened the au-
thorities of Wyandotte to the necessity
of action looking to their present and
future wants. In accordance with
previous notice, largely-attended
meeting was held on Tuesday evening
at Dunning's Hall, which was called
to order by Rev. Il. NJ. Tunnel, and
fully equipped for work by the selee-
ton of Y. l.. Lane as chairman and
II. L. Alden as secretary. The meet
ing was addressed by Mayor Stockton.
Dan Williams, Judge Sharp, Rev.
Tunnel and others. After which the
following resolutions were introduced
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that the colored immi-
grants from the South, now among us,
and still to come, should be aided only
to such extent as they are unable to
help themselves, so long as they are
obliged to tarTy among us.
Resolved, That it would be very
unwise in these people to stay in the
towns already overcrowded with labor
ers as they are, and that it will, in our
Judgment, be unsafe for them to re-
main long in large companies.
Resolved, That we will do all we
can to aid them in continuing their
search for homes such of them as
are prepared to settle upon homesteads
to the newly-opened counties, and
those who cannot so on to the home
steads into the several neighborhoods
of the old-settled counties of Kansas.
Resolved, That we recognize that
onerous obligation to aid the thous-
ands of this people thrown upon our
hands as belonging equally to citizens
of the whole State and country, and
that We appeal confidently to our
fellow citizens everywhere for material
aid in their behalf.
Resolved, That a committee of FIVE
persons be appointed by this meeting
to carry out the views expressed in
this resolution.
Resolved, That we hereby call upon
the city council to pass at their eafli-
est practical time an ordinance to pro-
tect the health of our citizens from

from these emigrants
On motion, Major Stockton, Uoun-
Gilman Dan. Williams, 0. c. Palmer,

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The Re-
publican senators are more stalwart in
their politics than the Republican
members, and are preparing for max
ing the sectional issue as extreme as
possible in the debate, which is now
announced to begin without further
postponement tomorrow. The exc
dus of colored men from the South is
to be made much of. A resolution is
to be introduced requesting the Presi-
dent to direct Federal officers in the
States from which the negroes are
removing, and in the States where the
emigrants are settling, to give all the
information obtainable on the subject
of the exodus. The resolution will
possibly provide for the appointment
Of a committee to investigate the sub
ject. The character of the reports
that may be received from the Federal
officers will make them good campaign
documents. The resolution may not
be passed, but it will be fit to hang
speeches upon.
