CARSON CITY, March 81, 1879.
EDTToRs SENTINEL: 1t is related of q
medical student, who was under examina-
ton by the college professors, that when
asked to define the word "create," be re-
piled, mnch at less and with some hesita-
ton /:
"Create 2ACreate means to make out OF
nothing, good proctor"
"If that he the case. s1id his dirni9ed grace,
Then | will create thee, u doetvr."
This sarcastic reply, you will see the ap-
plication of before finishing the perusal Of
this letter, for, verify, there is nothing in
it. However, as ! still linger at the Capt.
tai, and, like some other refugees have on
special inducements to return home to my
constituents, I will devote awhile in tell
ing Of the lawmakers, lawyers and lobby,
who all contributed so much to its tempo
rary and transitory prosperity, and, as
some are so unkind as to say, much at the
expense of the people of the State.
Although many Of our visitors left inn
mediately after the close Of the session,
yet they did not all leave at once. for their
r. II. passes held good for several days,
and SO they departed gradually and by de-
| grees-like lawyers go to h~eaven-thus
letting down the business activity Of our
city by easy gradations, to its normal con-
dition of sleepy, dreamy Incidence. There
is no denying the fact that we are o
relocated to a sweet repose. The natural
causes, of this simmering down, are
still further augmented by the anticipated
dismissal of the working force at the Mint,
which will, after the first of April, CON
sist only of the official staff, until future
appropriations by Congress enable it to re-
sumo operations.
ADJUSTMENTS
Languish, in consequence Of the causes
mentioned, and the presence Of the Lenten
season, which tends to keep at home the
religious part Of the community. Theatre
cal troupes stop with us for a night or two,
but depart without profit. Even the
Florences, in the mighty Dollar with
its mirtll- provoking satire upon the de-
generacy of the modern legislator, failed
to draw but one fair house. This week we
had the Eliza Weathersby's ~Froliques'
for two nights; the first night saw a mod.
crate house, but the second was a s'beg-
carly array Of empty boxes and benches,
and they apparently played for their own
amusement, or else just to keep their hand
in. They seemed to enjoy it, however,
as they are the j~olliest people we have had
on our stage this season, and joke and jest
each other throughout the entire perform
| ance with an abandon that is of itself in
fectious, and sure to keep a house in good
humUr.
Dancing, too, is on the ware, the last
party by the Au Fait Club being thinly
attended, but then it was much more ami
mated than previous ones, being princi-
pally attended by its own members, who
are all experts in the 'sGlide," that intri-
cate dance which caused the members from
abroad so much humiliation and so many
horrid nightmares-when, finding that
they couldn't make their feet glide, they
retired to the saloon, where their noses
glowed and their cheeks tingled as they
confessed the rusty condition Of their knee
hinges. l mean no offense to said men,

only glide home, with depressed spirits

| part of the admiring audience in the gal
lery, and took in the scene from an artistic
standpoint only.
Then they started from their places.
Moved with violence, changed in hue.
Caught each other with wild grilnaces,
Half invisible to the view.
Wheeling with precipitate PAGES
To the melody, till they flow
Hair, and eyes. and limbs. and faces,
Twisted hard in fierce embraces,
Like to Furies, like to Graces,
Dashed together in binding dew"
