CmmF engineer Aenscal. OF the
Nicaraguan canal company. who has
just returned from Nicaragua 10 WASH
iugton, reports shat several important
improvements have been made In tho
route heretofore contemplated for that
enterprise. The following is 4 sum-
mary Of the results Of his personal In
vestigation ..and surveys: During the
past few months through the division
into lake Nicaragua Of the head waters
Of the Rio Grande, now falling into the
Pacific. an excellent surface drainage
Ia secured, and the Lagas route will be
substituted for the line Of the canal
instead OF the Rio del Medic route.
This will reduce the estimate for labor
three million dollars. II was found
that from the mouth OF the San Carlos
river on the Atlantic slope and falling
into the San Juan, river the canal can
be excavated almost In n direct line to
Greyton, n distance Of thirty-ive miles,
thus shortening the canal Is originally
located seven miles, without increasing
the depth of,the cuttings, and reducing
the estimate four million dollars. An
examination Of the locality shows the
probability that one dam across San
Juan river, OF hfty-three feet In height.
will be made above the mouth OF San
Carlos. The effect will be to make an
uninterrupted navigation Of the river
San Juan TO the lake, q distance Of
s~ixty-three miles, thence by lake Nicar-
aqua, hfty-six miles, to Virgin bay,
making q total Of N hundred and
nineteen miles Of unimpeded naviga-
ton and actual canalization, ON the
east coast, as before stated, Of thirty
Eve miles, and on the west coast Of
seventeen miles, having sever lift locks
on each, Of fifteen feet, and a tide lock
Of nine feet ut Brito. The estimated
cost approximately, as thus improv-
ed in location, will not exceed
forty-ive million dollars, exclusive Of
contingent expenses for surveys. super
vision OF labor and interest on money;
and rs an offset the concession granted
by the government Of Nicaragua con-
tains grants Of several thousand square
miles Of valuable land.

NARROW GAUGE RAILROADS.

EDITOR APPEAL: Never has there been a
time in the history of railroad building when
capital has been 80 eager to 6nd investment
in narrow gauge roads. Capitalists find that
these roads are not only more cheaply CON
structed and operated, that they can attain
with greater ease and less expense than with
the broad gauge, but that they pay better
interest on the investment.
Here in Nevada we require more and cheap
er facilities of transportation in the develope-
ment of our vast resources The Topography
of our broad, open country is suggestive of
railroads in every direction. We have plenty
of business for such roads. We have all the
brains and enterprise necessary to project,
and the muscle to build these roads, but we
have not the capital; that lies in Eastern vaults
awaiting our invitation. We want narrow
gauge roads everywhere; they are the peoples
highways. They can only successfully COM
pete with the broad guage monsters that have
so long drained the life blood of Nevada. They
are the only natural remedy fer railroad ex-
tortion and domination. Let us encourage
the narrow gauge boom.
Any community or company that can show
a practical route, and the probabilities of
permanent paying business for a narrow guage
road can attain the capital to build it. More
over, capitalists are now not only willing, but
prefer that the people forming local compa-
MES, should have and keep an interest in bus
mess and management of the road They
argue very properly that the people having an
interest in the road will afford it every protec-
ton it may need. Theirs is the true policy;
make the people friends instead of enemies to
the road, and no harm can come to it through
adverse legislation or prejudiced juries. The
expense of buying and bulldozing Legislatures,
of keeping legion of lobbyists and of estab-
fishing and substituting newspapers to deceive
or insult the people, is species of railroad
ethics which they propose to entirely ignore.
We want railroads of this kind in every part
of the State, and very soon We may have mar.
row gauge outlets east and west to the Waters
of the Atlantic and Pacific. When this shall
have been accomplished, Nevada will prosper.

IT does not look as though the land agitat n
was dying out in Ireland. A late edition of
the Irish World states that Chevalier O'Clery
who lately undertook to put down Mr.. Par
nell by mob violence, has by this time found
out what the people Of Wexford think about
his hiring ronghs to pelt Mr.. Parnell with rot
tea eggs. The Chevalier wanted to go to Par
Lament, but Parnell, before starting on his
American tour, had denounced him for the
treacherous course he had adopted in the last
session in regard to Irish questions. O'Clery
determined to have his revenge, and the dis
graceful scene at Enniscorthy was the result
of this determination. The election has just
taken place, and O'Clery, d" the man who
squelched Parnell,' has been defeated by an
overwhelming majority, receiving beggarly
vote of 457 as against 1919 given to the can
didate supported by Parnell.

THE FATAL TRAPEZE.

The recent visit of the Davene troupe in
this city is fresh in the minds of Carsvnites
who will read with interest," mingled with hor-
ror, the following account Of an accident to
one of the members, which is taken from
Philadel .,hia special to the Chicago Times of
a recent date:
8" AT the performance this afternoon of the
circus, while the great audience were breath
essly watching the feats of the wonderful
Davene family, consisting of one man and
three women, VIII. We're going through the
trapeze acts, Miss Lucy Davene, who had just
launched herself from pedestal twenty feet
high to make swinging leap and be caught
in the arms of her father, who hung head
downward fifty feet away, was seen to quit
he hold on the bar of the flying trapeze, and
fall with sckening thud to the ground be-
low. Men groaned and women shrieked and
hid their faces for All instant. The poor girl
lay stretched ont upon the ground like one
dead, save for slight tremor of her limbs
1t was only for an instant, and then stalwart
athlete gathered her in his arms as he might
baby, and ran with her all limp and senseless,
int the adjoining tent from which the per-
formers enter the ring. MY God my child.
ny child! let ME down. came a cry from tho
lips Of a woman in fashy tights and blonde
wig, who hung by her feet from high trapeze
and who in turn held by his feet Davene, who
was to have caught the girl if the leap had
been successfully performed. The woman for
got that she was circus performer, and that
10000 eyes were upon her. and only remem-
bered that she was mother. Daveme drop
ped to the ground, and his wife freed herself
in . short time aud followed him, and both al
most flew after the swift gymnast who carried
the bleeding girl out of the sight of the horri-
fed audience. Several physicians in the au-
dience fastened behind the curtain, and the
show went on. But just behind the curtain
which separated the unemployed performers
from the public, on rude, stuffed tick, used
for tumblers to allght on in their leaps lay the
unconscious girl, presenting sight which
made old shownaen turn away sick and shud-
der. Her blonde wig was gone, and her brown
hair, dripping with ice water, was brushed
back from her face, from which every particle
of color had fed. Her eyes were closed, and
her breath came in short, quick gasps On
her left temple great blue lump, nearly as
big as mans fist, had raised up. and to this
one of the physicians was holding a lump of
ice. On the back of her head there was cash
from which the blood flowed freely until it was
staunched by another physician. Lucy is a
slight thing, and as she lay there in her ring
costume, which was soiled and bloody, she
looked like mere child, broken and dying.
The mother sobbed wildly, and, talking in
coherently, bent over the girl, bathing her
head in ice water, while Davene was running
around like one distracted. The girl, who is
about eighteen, was finally taken home, and
will die from her injuries The accident
Was due to carelessness in the placing of the |
safety net. ~, '.'..@' ''''@ .'. "+

WHY THE CARSON MINT is To BE
CLOSED.

From the general tenor of the replies given
to Daggstt's questions relative to the Carson
Mint, there is but little doubt but that the in
stitution will be closed at the end of the fiscal
year save as an assay Office. Director Burch'
ard states that the reason for its closing is be-
cause 10 little bullion is received. From July
LIST 1879 to April LIST 1880, but 3OS, 600 ounces
Of silver bullion was received. That is but
little over q months supply if the Mint was
run to its full capacity. He further states
that the Department is willing to pay the same
price for bullion at Carson as at San Fran
cisco. If this be true the responsibility Of
closing the Mint rests with the nine owners
of Virginia City. Since. the LIST of January
nearly 81, 0O0, 900 Of bullion has gone directly
past the Mint to San Francisco from the Com
stock and thousands Of dollars passes by every
day from other districts. Here is q Mint fully
equipped with tho best machinery, in the CEN
ter of the biggest silver region in the world,
lying idle because the men who have picked
mp colossal fortunes in Nevada do not care to
send it their bullion. In the light of these
facts pefhaps Mr.. Daggett would do better to
address his questions to the mine owners of
the Comstock than the Secretary of the De-
partment at Washington. The Bonanza firm
have refinery in San Francisco and the
saving they effect there is the milk in the

DEATHS BLUNDER.

The carven doors were open;
The sexton tded the bell;
And the light from the Gothic windows
Like sh Uttered rainboas fell,
As through the porch OF splendid cfurch
Crept little beggar Nell.
Low sinking in the shadow,
Beside the pulpit stair,
She little casket
Brought to the house OF prayer;
And a sorrowing band Of the rich and grand
Gather in silence there.
She heard the mournful music;
She heard the preacher say
1.-The Lord, who gave your treasure
Hath taken sIer away.
Be sure nv friends for the wisest ends
God worketh. Let us pray.

While every head was bowed;
Through fragrant, snow.whte flowers
She saw snow white shtouf,
And golden hair, and face most fair;
And she knet and wept aloud
Forth from among the mourners
Came the father of the dead;
He raj, ed the little beggar,
And wenderinsly, said:
"What strange child weeps for her who sleeps
With lilies round her head"
"Why, Death has made bunder;
Twas me he meant F." she cried.

And there seems to be no room for me-
Though they say the world is wide
