Carson, February II.

CARSON OFERA HoUsk.-Niek Of the Floods
was presented last evening for the benefit OF
the Carson Guards to a packed house. The
piece was very smoothly played. John Mack
as the ''Jibbenainosay" was excellent, and
presented some of hie scenes with telling eHec;.
Hub Parker as Ralph Stackpoe" put plenty
of vim into his role and was frequently ap
plauded. T. W.Duncan as Col. Tom Bruce
gave an excellent rendition of the character
Miss Dora Vansickles songs were delightfully."-
given and loudly encered. Miss Feilcle Cen
esy of Virginia City as ''Iillie Doe received
hearty recognition of her talent from the
audience The Indians were eostumed up to
the most approved style, and their war whoops
shook the building from pit to dome. The
tableaux. glowing with red and blue fire and
backed by the laundering of FIRE arms caused
the bows of the audience to get into state of
excitement bodering on acute insanity. The
closing tableau was SO well aDged that the
curtain fell amid storm of applause. The
orchestra under the leadership Of Mr.. Laugh
ton, furnished some very charming musical
selections. The first act of Richard III with
John Mack as ''Gloster," was pleasant sur.
prize. Mr. Mack's alocutlon showed to the
best advantage, and his acting was remarkably
good considering the role he sustained. The
| "Skidmors Guard" commanded by James q.
Chesley, made the hit of the evening.
| AEHoNRsr AND WILLING TRAMP "A yOnng
| man called at the house Of q citizen yesterday
and said that he was willing to do amy sort o!
! work for something to eat and a coat. He vas
robust, healthy young fellow and SO thinly
clad that it seemed almost impossible that he
could stand the chilling Winds of February.
II dent mind it in the day tune, he said
but l often sleep out at night almost any
where can lie down"
The lady gave him thick scat and meal
Of yictuals, saying that he Was welcome to bot b.
| After eating he asked to be allowed to split
some wood, saying that he would act leave the
place sntil he had given valae received for
what he had got.
Il have never received anything yet IN the
way of charity, and if cant split some wood
!
| ! VIII leave the coat On the steps
He was shown the wood pile and worked
for tso hours steadily, then thanking the lady
quite politely, walked away not knowing
where he could had rest for the night, 1T
seems pity that MAN so honest and deter
mined should be compelled to wander over the
State like vagabond seeking employment,
