SAD END OF CELESTIAL. About two
years ago we'll to do young Chinaman named
All Cum, living ON Third street, became vic
tim of q sudden and romantic infatuation fer
y young woman who occupied the post of dish
washer in the Bradley House. He became
more and more devoted to his iaam0rata until
he finally determined to marry her. Despite
the fearful protestations of his friends and
relatives, he made preparations for tho we'd
ding, insisting that his life would never be .
happy one, unless he married the object OF
his choice. The pair were accordingly joined
at the Bradley House, the friends Of An Cum
declining even to be present at the ceremony.
The two went to house keeping after the glad
honey moon was over; from that time, the
course of the Celestial was steadily downward,
while he soon had every reason to repent of
his hasty and ill-advlsed step. The American
wsaan proved to be one of the worst Of her
class. One morning when he was too sleepy
to rise at o'clock and build a FIRE with the
thermometer below zero, she beat HIM
savagely over the head with a rolling pin, in
6icting such injuries that he was unable
to leave his bed for several weeks. For
the next year she covered him with
blows, repreaches and hard work
until the proud spirit of the man who, accus-
toned as he was to the luxuries of home in
the Chinese quarter of Carson, was utterly
broken down. Wasted in body and mind he
ging to be taken once more under the paren
tai roof The epistle which was shown yes
terday to the APPEAL reporter would melt
heart Of stone. The fond parents, yielding
most tender and peetical expressions, sent for
their hayward child. The meeting took place
in the presence Of the family and relatives
and was a scene calculated to move the heart
Of a chimpanzes. But it was too late The
cruel treatment the poor boy had received and
the overwhelming sense of remsrse was more
than he could brave and he died yesterday
with his head pillowea on his fathers bosom.
The American girl who was the asthoress of
his misfsrtunes left for Chicago last night with
her child. Poor All Cum, but for meeting
this brazen huzzy, might have grown up te
grace the best circles Of Chinese society.
HOUSE CLEANING. The APPEAL reporter is |
unable to 60 anywhere in Carson now with |
out meeting someone who wants the naiseries |
Of housekeeping spread before the public in |
garing type. Nearly all the houses in the |
city are now undergoing the process of reno
vation, and the most genial minded pleasal.,
man alive, who comes home and
inds the house upside down, is at once turned
nto 6end incarnate. As he enters the gate
lis eye rests upon heaps of household furni.
ure, old carpets, bedding and traps of every
description piled Unfortunately over the
avn, and the wife of his bosom looking like
Washoe squaw, standing in the midst. We
all to mind a young man from Rene who

nd spend day ct the family mansion. He
rived during the time set apart for the
'pring house cleaning. and was at once press
d into the service. 1t is considered the cor
ect thing to do this with company, and prac-
iced by the best people. If the President of
he United States were to call on Governor
linkead at such time, he would be set to
ork in tho back yard beating carpets 1t was
ne same with the Reno man. His girl was {

Dors and taking bedsteads to pieces, After {

but it could not be properly q
Indled without illustrations. O
