Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-01-14

The Cbartz case came up before the Board
again Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
ksrTRR FROM RICKAK's BRoTHah.
The first subject for consideration was a
letter from the brother of Rickar The letter
stated in substance that the writer had inten-
dsd to have appeared personally before the
Board to oppose the pardon of Chartz, but
circumstances prevented. 1t urged that NO
pardon should be granted. The letter, which
was addressed to the Governor, Was read by
the Board and handed to Mr.. Woodburn,
who asked leave to make few remarks.

Long Words ami Abundant Adjec-

The auth or's English is not of the
XII. 4 that suffers by an almixture Of q
few French phrases. 1t is bad enough
not to admit OF being easily made
worse. She is one of those who de-
light in long words and an abundance
of adiectives. She tells Low little
girl brought basket OF peaches; che
calls them 8 large, heavy, deep red and
pale green balls She wishes to say
that wife who was kept by her hus-
band without money was greatly en-
barrassed; she writes that "she felt
keeply the dilemmas which impecuni.
osity entails" What fine mixture-a
bit of logic, bit of law, and a word OF
Latin origin in seven syllables! The
heroine goes to Ceylon. One night
she looked thoughtfully at the thick
foliage, undistinguishable in the gloam-
ing. Cleaning" by the way, we
venture to inform the author, does not
mean the darkness OF tropical night.
Tue breeze waited her acrid odors.
There was faint murmur as of wings,
and of living things. The wings APP
parently belonged to things that were
dead. There were strange sounds OF
musical instruments. with weirdness
in them that soothed the spirit. Now
we come to the climax of fine writing
I" 1t seemed as if all these sounds com
bined to produce a somnolent effect.

Bits Of Fashion.

Cherry and black are the favorite
colors for trimming hats for the coun.
try and seaside. These hats have wide
dropping brims, which may be shaped
to please individual taste.
Among the pretty garden party dress
es recently sent to Saratoga, was u COM
bination of peacock-blue satin and
ivory white surah, figured with morn
ing glories and green leaves.
The 'seashore' is the name Of new
hat which is intended to make the
wearer look like nereid. The lining
is of water green, and the ribbon which
is tied about the crown is dotted with
shells.
A social philosopher asks if the Ia
dies whose NJ mes constantly appear in
the society journals lists of guests at
fetes, sea side resorts. hotels, and wa
tering- places have any children or any
husbands.
A new trimming for seaside and
country hats is shown in the shape of q
full wreath of natural grasses. Ii is
not affected by salt air or dampness,
and is at once durable and stylish hat
trimming.
At no place are all girls-except
Southern girls-so reckless with their
complexions as at the seashore. The
proof of their having been out of town
is the Drowned compilations that they
bring back with them.
Formerly people went to the seashore
to rect from the excitement of the
pleasures of city life during the winter.
Now they simply bring to an end the
city entertainments at q given time, pack
their trunks and resume the giddy mo-
ton of the seaside.
Every one at this season wears what
soever she chooses and that is most be-
| coming to her. She may be enveloped
in the rich productions and creations
of fashionable dressmakers, or she may
wear simple fabric, prettily made and
neatly trimmed; however inexpensive,
it Goes not matter, if it is stylish and
becoming to the wearer. Those who
have fondness for white wear knot
of ribbon or spray of flowers attached
here and there to relieve the same
| ness.

Every girl Of spirit should learn to
swim, if good chance were allowed to
her. Then we should hear of fewer
fatal boat.upsets and bathing disasters,
and no mother would fear to leap from
q burning steam boat to save her little
child. Let any vigorous-minded girl
look into New York Free Swimming
Bath, on "Girls' Day." as described
and illustrated in the September ST.
Nicholas, and see two hundred restless
young specimens of her sex diving,
playing tag splashing, shouting,
and having, in all sorts of ways, the
liyeliest kind of fun, and she would at
once become an enthusiast in swim
ming. Besides, to say nothing of the
health it gains, the exercise is one Of
the best for Strengthening the lungs.
and for securing that symmetrical de-
velopment of body which nature in
tends, and Of which no ore should be
defrauded.

Writing OF the JudgeS Of sue v. ~
Supreme Court, . correspondent sayg
that Chief Justice, l4r. Waite. Is nos inn
posing looking, but he has strong
cast OF countenance, without q glean
of merriment. Judge Clifford has q
rosy, benevolent face, and his large
white neckcloth sets off the somberneGs
of his silk gown. Mr.. Justice Clifford
has the most exalted idea Of the court,
ranking it next to heaven. He would
readily pass for bishop, and never
tolerates anything bordering on liberty.
Judge Swayne is portly. and has IN in
tellectual head and face. Judge Field
is grizzly blonde, but endowed with
becoming gravity when on the bencE.
Judge Miller has large, ponderou1
frame, and il the embodiment OF legal
lore and the responsibilities Of his high
Office. Judge Strong is the saint Of
the court. He has spare form and
refined face of an ascetic; he Is mem-
Der of the Presby terian Church, rigid
observer Of his religious duties, .
strong temperance man, and q model
husband and father. Judge Bradley u
of short stature, scholarly and very
courteous. He looks very wise and
very severe while on the bench. Judge
Hunt, before he was paralyzed and in
capacitated for work, looked too refined,
too high. bred and courtly for the rigid
and exacting duties of the court. Lighs
behavior, .jests, or profanity would
shock him as they would sensitive
woman. Judge HARLAN las q boyiate
smooth face. full of good humor and
kindness. He maintains majestic
gravity during an argument.

him as ''.tall and stoop.shouldered,

The Massachusetts Legislature last
winter passed what is known as the
"screen law" which permits licensing
boards in towns and cities to order all
screens, curtains, stained glass, etc., to
be removed from the windows OF sa-
looms. 1t has been put into execution
in several places, and some Of the
dealers say that tie loss Of custom has
amounted to fully fifty per cent OF the
former trade, and not few assert that
they will be compelled to leave the
business. One of the drinkers says.
according to the Cambridge Tribune:
"Do you suppose l can go into sa-
