THE ASSAULT ON CLARKE.

The assault made on Sunday evening last
ON the person of Tom Clarke, in Virginia City,
was a deliberate and eowardly attempt at
assassination. Public opinion lays this out
rage at the door of the Mechanics Union. 1t
is not probable that the Union as body en-
dorse such rufianly proceedings, but it is GER
tain that'soneiof its members were engaged
in it. There is now nothing left for the
Unien to do but to clear it's hands of the
bloody business by ferreting out the mon who
attempted to kill Clarke and turning them
over to justice. If the Union consider that
they have not been properly treated by the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad Company, their
cause will only be weakened by such criminal
methods of redress and if they propose to
sustain their standing, they should sift this
matter to the bottom. If they fail to do this
the crime will be laid at their door No or
ganization. however strong, can afford to place
itself in direct antagonism with legal au-
thority.

A new paper has reached the APPEAL Office,
called the Morning Rustter. 1t bears no mark
by which the reader can determine whether it
ia printed in England or Australia. The fol
lowing item, however, shows that unmistaka-
die:
The Morning R,.stier has it's opinion Of
three lively city dsilies that would allow a
fancy calico ball within a stones throw of the
office windows, without giving their readers a
benefit of their experiences en- the eventful
night. We wouldn't blame EN- and Kate if
they would chop on such low sheets.

1t is pleasing to know that the San Fran
cisco pedestrians have come to grief. After
tramping about 800 miles apiece, they find
that they have been allowed to pay their own
expenses, whils the exchequer of Charles
Locke, Of the Bush Street Theatre is enriched
as usual Mark Thall, the cats paw of Locke
and the figure head of the affair, has departed
for the East. The pedestrians have no one to
blame but themselves They knew the char
acters of both Locke and Thall, and had bee,

THR SENATORIAL ELECTION.

Commenting upon the programme Of GER
tain political wire pullers to foist Bill Sharon
upon the people of Nevada as United States
Senator for an other term, the Siloer State re-
marks: The Carson APPEAL recently sug
gestsd to the party managers the propriety of
giving the people an opportunity to express
their choice fer United States Senator If
both parties act on that suggestion, all the
man that can be employed on the new road to
Bode, will not re elect William Sharon to the
Senate. That vote can only affect the vote of
Lyon, Ormsby, Douglas and Esmeralda coun
ties, whose representation i'll the Legislature
cannot be increased in consequence of imported
voters Let men who will abide by their
pledges be nominated by both parties for the
Legislature, with The understanding that they
will vote, if necessary, regardless of party.
for some respectable citizen of the State, and
defeat the California millionaire at whatever
cost. That men can DE found who will abide
by their pledges, was proved year ago by
three of the representatives from Humboldt,
who never swerved from the line of their duty
on the railroad or any other question that
came before the Legislature. If the people
during the excitement incident to the Presi
Dental campaign, follow in the wake of po-
litical strikers, who are furnished money to
manipulate conventions and purchase votes,
Sharon, if he desires it, can purchase the Sen
atorship from Nevada for another term. On
the other hand, if the decent and unpurchasa
bic men of both parties com bine against Sharon
the State will not bedisgraced by again return
ing him to the United States Senate.

INTERESTING SLAVE CAsB-Of case invov-
ing some novel points of law, Washington
dispatch says: In November, 1863, there died
in Chloet County, Arkassas, one Elisha
WOrthiHgtOn who had been before the war a
rich planter, whose wealth was estimated at
half million dollars. A short time after his
death suit was brought by Martha w. Mason,
a colored woman, to recover the sun of $780,
600 fr"m the administrators of the estate,
fer services alleged to have been rendered
said Worthngton for managing his hsuseh old
affairs for thirteen years. The plaintiff, in her
charge, set forth that she was the natural
daughter Of Worthington, her mother having
been a slave on one of his plantations that
her father, having no family of his own, treat
cd her as if she had been his lawful child, and
entrusted her almost exclusively with the
charge of his business matters that for all
this service Wsrthington had on many coca
sions promised to reward her handsomely in
his will, bat he died suddenly before carrying
cut his plans.
When ths case came to trial in Arkansas,
the jury bra ught in verdict for 81 200 for
the plaintiff. Senator Garland. of Arkansas,
who defended the suit, and now appears as
counsel for PLAINTIFF in error, excepted the
jury charge. In his brief he denies all the
material allegations Of Martha w. Mason as
to any contract or agreement or obligation Of
said Worthington to pay her any sum Of money
for so-called services, aud contends that her
manumissisn could only date from the appeal
or abrosation Of the State recognizing slavery
wherever she was resident at the time, and
that under the law of slavery existing in Ar
kansas, no right of family heirship, connec-
ton, descent or distribution could exist, and
any subsequent manumission or emancipation
under any law could not confer upon any
slave any such right. The Senator says in
concluding his brief: "Glving slave COM
pete and thorough education, embracing
music, drawing and dancing, did not free
slave under the Arkansas law, and that the
law of emancipation had to be pursued.
The case is likely to provoke anch comment
xad discussion.

Petty Worries.

What blessed thing it is that we can forget! To days troubles look large, but a week hence they will be forgotten and buried out of sight. Says one writer: If you keep book, and daily put down the things that worry you, and see what becomes of them, it would be benefit to you. You allow a thing to annoy you just as you allow fly to settle on you and plague; and you lose your temper Cor rather get it), for when men are surcharged with temper they are said to have lost it; and you justify your- selves for being thrown of your balance by causes which you do not trace out. But if you would see what it was that threw you off your balance before
 breakfast, and put it down in little
 book, and follow it up, and follow it
 out, and ascertain what becomes of it, you would see what fool you were in the matter. The art of forgetting is s
 blessed art, but the art of overl ookine is quite as important. And if we should take time to write down the origina progress and outcome of 8 few of oul troubles, it would make us so ashamed I of the fuss we make over them, that WI
 should be glad to drop such things, ant bury them at once in eternal forgetfui ness. Life is too short to be worn ou l in petty worries. frettings, hatred ant ] vexation.

Words of Wisdom.

He who thinks his place below him will be below his place.
 Good temper is, like summer day. the sweetner ot toil and soother of dis quietude. It sheds brightness over everything.
 It is to be doubted whether he will ever find the way to heaven who desires to go thither alone.
 False friends are like our shadow = keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.
 No man is born wise; but wisdom and virtue require tutor; though we can easily learn to be vicious without g master. Strong minds, like hardy evergreens, are most verdant in winter when feeble ones, like tender summer plants, are leafess.
 The modern majesty consists in work. What man can do is his greatest orna- ment, and he always consults his dignity by doing it.

Leaf shaped pieces are used to trim the border of basques.
 Plush is not effective in black, and velvet is preferred to it.
 Satin bows are worn at the throat with plush costumes. Both gowns and bonn cts are CT Y eavy this year.
 The materials strewn with small dots are called pointillis.
 The new chenille cords used for drap- ing are as thick as ropes.
 Olive green is the fashionable color in reception costumes.
 The hoods worn with the rich plush morning costumes are of lace.
 Jackets of cloth and velvet are worn in the street this winter.
 It is in the stuff and not in the cut of the gown that it's novelty must lie this year.
 One long looped bow at the back is preferred to any other fastening for bonnet strings.
 Cuffs turned over, like those worn by children, have been adopted by young ladies.
 Little birds are often perched on the knots of flowers that milliners send home with gowns. Basques of cheap brocade are made up to wear with wooden gowns left over from last year
 Bright Things are used in all plaitings that are in the least likely to fly upward and show their under side.
 New York dressmakers use the stock inet stuffs for making street jackets, with satin piping. and without any of the Jersey effect. Girls pilgrim suits are often made with a little cape, which is laid loosely around the shoulders and fastened in front by two tassels.
