when he went to bed was somewhat surprised
to find the place already occupied. He went
down stairs. and waking up the proprietor &C
quainted him with the fact that some snau
thorized person was sleeping in the room. Mr..
Sharp went up and found an old tramp com
posedly snoring between the sheets with most
Of his clothes on. When reused up and an
explanation demanded he said that he had
been put there for the night and that his bed
was paid for. He positively refused to move
and it required the services of the porter and
the night barkssper to accomplish the evic-
ten. He was dirty, horrible looking wretch
covered with rags and grease. sad how he
came in possession Of the yoon was a mystery
to the prsprietors of the hotel. It afterwards
transpired that the other three deliaeators of
negro scsentrisitiss had secured the key to the
room and smuggled the old fellow into the
apartment under philanthropio prstexts. For
the balance Of the night he paraded up and
down in front Of the hotel complaining bitterly
Of the tYrrany Of Carson landlords and the

TEXT BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS.

report relative to the text books to be used in
the public schools of Nevada
DErAKThlET OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, ]
OFFICE OF STATE BOARD OF EpUCATIoE,
Carson, New, Feb 10. 1880. }
The matter of the proposed changes in the
text books at present used in the public
schools of the State, especially as regards the
readers and arithmetic has been examined
by the State Board of Education with the ut
most care in all its bearings. 1t il not to he
denied that some of the books that We have
considered are superior to those of similar
kina now in use; but we have been unable
to devise any plan for the introduction of new
books that will not subject parents to sach
additional expense as they seem hardly able
to afford owing to the present depressed con
dition of business affairs throughout the State.
We feel confident, moreover, that an efficient
corps of teachers will employ successfully IN
the failure the readers and srithnstics that
they have probably used daring the last four
years, and that they will ehesrfully await the
arrival of a more suspicious season for making
the changes desired. In order to bridge over
the gap between the small and large arithme-
tics of Robinson's series, of which some teach
ers complain, we have recommended Robin
sons Rudimsnts, which may be used together
with the other two books of the series, OF t.
the exclusion of the First book, or not at ALL
AZ may be deemed best in the discretion of
the teacher.
The Rudinents will be rstailed by dealers
at 30 cents per copy The First Book of Rob
inson'a series will be retailsd hereafter At 40
cents, and the Complete Arithmetic at 81 80,
a reduction on the former of 10 cents and OH
tbs latter of 20 cents. Is will be understood
that ne books have been readoptsd, and that
all text books nextin use continue in use sub.
jecs to the action of the Board.
