RENO GOSSIP.
AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM LIVELY TOWN
OLD KIT. ON THE WAR PATH-PERSoNAL,
COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL.
RENO, May 4, 1880.

hardly think you will be adverse to giving
space in your columns to few items of inter
est regarding the progressive city of Reno.
THE CULTURE OF BOSTON.
| l noticed not long ago that the APPEAL felt
a tri0e put out because the Boston excursion
lists paid this city visit and passed by Carson
without taking the slightest notice OF it. For
a time the idea of having so much culture
scattered through the city gave immense sat
isfaction to US, but am frank 10 confess at
this late hour that when We came to think the
matter over We haven't got so very much to
| brag of. The crowd was composed of some o!
! the worst old fogy and sloucny looking people
| | ever saw. They were rich specimens Of the
unprogressive and innocent representatives of
the staid old New England State of Massa-
| chuset,s. If you strip a turtle of his she'll and
turn him loose in the world he will look and
| act very ill at ease. 4 Boston man or woman
| reminds very much of the turtle above
| mentioned When Gen. kittrell got up in his
waggish way aud made speech in favor OF
| the Chinese the audience knew it all
stupendous joke, but old fellow in the
Boston party Judge somebody followed
kittrell, endorsed everything he said and
went way beyond him. 1t was immeasurably
lauSha5le and the Remedies enjoyed the Joke
immensely.
KITTRELL ON CHAMBERLAIN.
Old Kit gave US another circus here last
week in conducting suit for damages against
the R. Z. Railroad Company. Bill Chamber
lain, the man who keeps the Railroad Hotel,
went on the stand to testify for the company,
as he doubtless felt bound to do, as the cor
poration possesses him completely as posi-
ble Kit got hold of Chamberlain cross eA-
animation and it was rare spor' 10 see him
toss the witness about like loose hay on the
point of pitch fork. Chamberlain in not the
most popular man in town and the audience,
which was large and promiscuous, enieved it
As only a Reno audience could. In his speech
h. alluded to Chamberlain something in this
style.
"The witness says the bell was rung and
the whistle blown before the engine struck its
victim. Was the whistle blown to warn the
man of impending danger! No! 1t was II
signal for Bill Chamberlain to warm over his
last nights coffee for the hungry wayfarer, to
yet his cartllaglous becfsteak and leaden bis
cult on the table for the migratory public at
six bits head"
The baliff was obliged to check the applause !
and Kittrell and Hayden won the salt against |
three lawyers, among them the redoubtable
Col. H. H. L. Barns. This reminds me of |
the man who wept when he heard the fire had |
wiped out the Depot Hotel
II thought you we're down on railroad eat
ing houses" said friend

At present Reno may fairly be considered
as the most thriving town in the State from a
business standpoint You may think am u
trle prejudiced, being resident, but you
can't show town in Nevada where there is
more money to the population than Beno.
Our business men are all live. hard working
fellows, and the fact ahat they came to the
,cratch after the fire shows the stuff they are
made Of Manning & Berry, John Cahlan,
James II. Kinkead, Roger johnson, T. V.
