looking whelp, in all respects. The child who
called the woman "mother" could not hide its
beauty under its common clothes, and travel.
hardship and i'll treatment could not pale the
luster Of its black eyes. Presently the child
who was quite weary, laid its little head over
against its mothers shoulder and was about
to sleep, whenthe woman said: "Don't crowd
me" and pushed her away so rudely, that she
struck her head against the arm of the seat.
The child was evidently hurt both physically
and mentally, and though the tears stood in its
eyes it did not dare to set them at liberty for
fear doubtless, of a slap from the creature at
her side. The woman, after its cruelty to the
child, reached down and carressed the dog
which crouched at her feet. She smoothed the
ours dirty locks, and patted its head with
terms of endearment. This demonstration
was noticed by the child, and it seemed to feel
that it was beag robbed Of a portion, if no,

cried SO quietly, that the mother never noticed
it. In witnessing this scene, one could no.
but think that nature had made some sort of
mistake in allowing the mother to have been
born a woman, when all her inclinations and
affections stamped her as belonging to the
order of uuadrupeds
ExpLANAroRY-The masked ball given BY
the Davis Family on Friday evening was no,
a success owing to a misunderstanding regard
ing the tickets, which were not exposed 70,
sale until about O o'clock on Friday Afternoon
The printing Of the tickets was given to IA
newspaper Office which, having facilities for
job work, was obliged to send to Reno for the
work, and the tickets not arriving in time
none were sold, and the idea prevailed thai
the ball was not coming off. The consequence
was that the ball, which might have been
paying affair, was a failure financially. This
is to be much regretted, as the Davis Family
# musicians have established an excellent
reputation in this city and vicinity for their
fairness in business matters and prompt pay
nent of bills, and it was through no fault of
ais that the ball ended so disastrously. At
he suggestion of several citizens they propose
o give another masquerade at an early date,
md as there is every indication of healthy
evlval in the stock market, masquerade will
doubtless come quite apropos in d few weeks |
HARD CIDER AND LRArHER-A few days |

Court a few days later and described the mis-. |
laps of Carson Valley rancher who took |
land in the festivities The man was base |
nough to corrupt us with promise of barrel |

'apsr. Yesterday key of the cider arrived !
nd We are of the opinion that the Carson

een quite scarce in that section when the
ider was made. Not long after we received
leather medal from the lady who gave the
arty, which was about the size of dinner
late and very tastefully sewed with thread Of
hree colors. Although the intrinsic value
the jewelry in not much, the gaining in
1f1uence of the APPEAL in that sin blighted
ection of the city is taken by US as a hopeful
yn of the ultimate regeneration of the in
luitus.
How WE Would Do Ir-The Tribune
,eptions the names Of the leading men in
own and asks what the APPEAL would do
ithout their support. We are frank to ad-
lit tina. without the patronage Of these men
no choose to think that it pays to advertise
the APPEAL, we would close the Office up at
tort notice. exactly as the Tribune should
ave done weeks ago, when most of its ad.
srtising patronage was Withdrawn. We
ould do this instead Of attempting to run
ong by black mail; a repadiation of honest
sbts; refusal to pay printers wages for SER
ces rendered, or selling benefit tickets and
ocketing the money.
Mrs Hawking went out on the warpsth yes
