A True BILL.

The Appeal raps some of the Carson
GROWERS over the knuckles, and. says that
while nearly every business man and me-
chanic complains about hard times, a min
strel troupe Of so men, not one Of whom
contributes a dollar to the State, or States,
come to town with a blare Of trumpets,
pocket some hundreds OF dollars, and 60
off to bleed some other poverty stricken
place. OF course, people must have u
ment, but if people can afford to spend
their dollars for that kind Of amusement
they have no reason to growl about dull
times. We have no complaint to make OF
a good entertainment, but we do complain
OF people, who can spend their money for
such shows, and when a bill is presented,
complain of hard times and put off pay
ment. We are by no means so poor as we
try to make ourselves out, and our growls
come with bad grace.

waiting only to be aroused by the sound Of
the dinner bell. Out upon the sidewalk
not a soul was to be discovered, save a SOL
itary Shoshone squaw, perched upon a pile
of Eureka Consolidated bullion, and a
Chinaman pacing the street and holding to
the breeze a white handkerchief for the
wind to dry-which reminded one Of a
flag of truce, but with whom he was Offer

Howa town could be more peaceful / could

excellent water-power here will some time
be utilized for milling and manufacturing

a bonanza to the owners other mines, Of
precious metals, may be discovered, and
the rough, barren and shrubless palisades,

gold and silver. But one thing can be said
OF its inhabitants-they are sociable, affa-
BILE and pleasant.

AN UNwELCOME GUEST.
A Granger Who Would Submit ia
No Nonsense.


One night recently the proprietor Of
Cosby's Hotel, st Louis, detected a gas
leak and traced it to room No. 2, occu-
pied by a countryman. The proprietor rap
ped up the occupant, who, however,
could not be made to understand about the
gas, and would not allow the proprietor to
come into the room. The latter was urgent,
and his rural guest, who, as it afterward
transpired, had a couple OF hundred dollars
with him, soon grew alarmed at his eviden.
intention to get in. He was totally devoid
of the sense of smell, and had been accus-
toned only to candles, and could not un-
derstand what the landlord was talking
about, and finally becoming persuaded that
the intention was to rob him, he first warn
ed the landlord and then fired seven shots
in rapid succession in theSdirection of the
landlords voice, each bullet going through
the door. By the time the firing ceased
the landlord was down stairs. Arguing
that the ledger was probably now out Of
ammunition, he persuaded the night clerk
to go up and explain matters. The night
clerk listened at the door and thought
he heard the boarder loading UP He
knocked gently, then skipped to one side.
In answer to the fierce WHO'S there" the
clerk commenced a mild suggestion about
turning off the gas. but the bullets began
to rain in so thick and fast, that, following
the example of his employer, he hastily took
refuge below. A couple OF police officers
next appeared, and opened up conversation
with the belligerent relative to the escape
of gas. Their overture being met by threats,
the door was broken open, and the coun-
tryman was discovered sitting on the bed
without his apparel reloading his navy re-
volver. He at once claimed the protection
Of the officers, and complained that the
hotel people had been trying all night to
break into his room. He was much sur
prised to find nobody had been hurt and
was very much Disguised when the gas was
explained to him. He protested his deter
mination whenever he went to a tavern
again to take a candle with him.

SharOn's shake.

Senator Sharon gave his Nevada con stit-
uents the cold shake in his reception to
General Grant. Lieutenant Governor
Adams and wife, Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
Mackay, Mr.. and Mrs. j. G.. Fair and Mr..
and Mrs. H. NJ. Yerington comprise the
list Of Nevadans who received invitations.
But the Senator may be excused on
on the ground that he has no use for Ne
vadans. except for voting purposes. The
truth is that he is not a citizen Of Nevada,
and has no feeling in common with the
people OF this State. Jewett Adams was
invited simply because he happened to be
sojourning at the Palace. The Bonanza
Kings were remembered for stock and po-
litical reasons.

HOW TO ACT AND BEHAVE.
Always offer ladies the right arm.

Always offer ladies the right arm.
Ladies do not talk across the street.
Walk around a ladies' train; do not step
across it.
Much underscoring in a letter is mean
iugless and vulgar.
In bowling, the inclination Of the head is
alone necessary.
The we'll bred are always free from pre-
tence or superciliousness.
A gentleman walking with a lady returns
q bow made to her.
Nothing is more vulgar than fnery and
jewelry out of place.
1t is the place Of the one introduced to
make the first remark.
The custom of sending flowers to funerals
is growing in disfavor.
Don't keep flowers from your friends
coffin. Give them now.
Never pass an acquaintance without a sal
utation Of recognition.
The true gentlewoman causes all to feel
perfectly at ease in her presence.
More thar three in one family should
never accept a general invitation.
A hostess should command silence among
her guests during the performance ofmusic.
A gentleman should not shake hands
with a lady until she has made the first
movement.
Gentlemen are not expected to take their
hats off when driving; to incline the head
is sufficient.
1t is a false notion to suppose that Q
gentleman may not leave a lady until re-
lieved by som one else.
Airy fabrics are suitable for balls; richly
trimmed silk should be worn only by those
who don't dance.
Under his parents roof a young gentle
man should never devote an entire evening
to but one or two ladies.
A married lady extends her hand to a
stranger brought to her home by q friend
as an evidence Of cordial welcome.
In a marriage ceremony the bride stands
at the groom's left. so that when they u
to leave she may take his right arm.
