Dcnison News,

''Stonewalp Jackson. the great Con-
federate general, was very pions man;
but he was not free from what the pres
ent age denounces as superstition. He
had taste for the mathematical prob
lens of the old astrologers, and was ia
miliar with the rules of "Zidkeil" for
casting "nativities" and calculating "di-
rections." II is historical fact that he
calculated his own nativity, and actually
mark ed the month of the very year he
lost his life as the period for the cuimin-
alton of chain OF fatal solar arcs in his
life, and this several years before the
breaking out OF the war.

There Is a divorce SUIT pending in 4
Brooklyn court, styled Trice against
Trice, the parties being of color, in con-
nec;ion with which there are some Gu
roius stories. Both sides claim decree,

ground OF the defendants uAhusbandllke

that when he married her the woman
had husband living in the interior OF

1865 . tall, sroud, black fellow from
Africa found his way to Brooklyn. He

great interest to the female members Of
the church, but he escaped all their
snares until the plaintiff in the present
suit, then a homely colored widow,
smiled upon him encouraglngly. He
married her, and she became a princess.
They lived together in harmony for
some years, and little prince was born,
who is still a resident of Brooklyn.
In the meantime the prince had be-

A CERTAIN SIGN.-It is pretty certain
proposition that any newspaper in this State
that hasn't placed itself on record in opposi-
ton to Sharon's candidacy for the United
States Senate, is waiting to be interviewed by
the bearer of the sack And it is by no
means creditabe to Nevada journalism that
so many of them are occupying that position.

The papers occupying this position, are
those who cannot command the legitimate
support of the people. Grass is short and
they must feed from the sack or pass out of

PIxLEY AS BUCKER.-The Truckee Re
publican draws the following pen picture of
the characteristics of Frank Pi1ley
Frank Pixley is an able man. He has a
thorough knowledge of affairs and he can
make known his opinion in manner that
never leaves one in doubt When he writes
he generally knows whereof he speaks. He is
a good citizen, and a lover of his country, but
he has the qualification Of bucking stiff legged
bigger than any mustang with public record.
He always has, or thinks he has, a protext,
and when he really turns loose he makes his
mule sick with envy before he lets up. We
have always been an admirer Of Pixley's
ability as writer, but admire him most as
bucker. We have read his writings, and we
have seen his buckings. The latter excels

CALIFORNIA HORTICULTURIsT. - We have
received the August number Of the California
Horticulturist, floral magazine edited by
Charles H. Shnn No man or woman who
loves flowers for their fragrance and beauty
should be without this valuable and interest
ing little periodical, edited by florist and
poet. The people Of the West have not
learned to love the beauties Of nature as they
should, and such periodical will lead them
in the right direction. The following bit of
descriptive from the pen of Mr.. shinn, is
quite enough to make one forget that his
stocks were all sold out just before the rise.
California needs more aquatic gardens, in
which the lovelest Of water plants may be at
home. Lily ponds are the type. Then, as
We begin to consider the subject. how the list
widens There are plants wholly aquatic,
with leaves which Goat and flowers which
sway; there are reeds and grasses, and count
less others to group in shallower water. We
may have Egyptian lotus and the classic pa
pyrus plants, if we will; fountains, rockwork,
winding paths, silver streams, singing AS they
move gently down the quiet lakes, where Ill
les float, where summer haunted isles are
sweet with murmurous bees, and rustic
bridges on which We may rest, and, looking
down, see the evanescent sparkle Of minnows
silver sides-these are the sylvan charms
which wish we might possess wherever there
are SIRENS and toiling men. Let us live with
the beauty of Natures wild gardens until her
method become ours also

NELSON. Adelaide Nelson the famous &C,
tress who recently died, began life as bar
maid. She grew up to be very beautiful and
acted in London but was never recognized as
a lady nor allowed to play in first class the
atres. She married a man named Lee who
WAS worth some six millions of dollars; and in
San Francisco had the pleasure of seeing the
aristocracy of the city grovel at her feet. At
a banquet given by the leading citizens, a
basket of rare flowers was presented to her,
At which she turned up her nose and remark
ed: IL prefer diamonds to flowers, they last
longer" After an immensely successful en-
gagenent, she was asked to play one night for
the benefit of the Orphans asylum, but re-
fused She was mean and avaricisus, and
many hard stories are told Of her bull dog
persistency in beating down tradesmen on ar
ticles of small value. As an actress she had
undoubted talent, and was considered the
most beautiful woman on the English stage.

The efforts of the Enterprise to read US out
Of the Republican party because we are op-
posed to eorruption and bribery comes with
very bad taste from the pen of man who in
1873 was compelled to leave Nevada for his
treacherous assaults upon the Repu blican
State ticket from the columns of Republican
newspaper. The APPEAL is by no means the
only stalwart paper that opposes Sharon, the
Reno Gazette and Journal oppose him en- the
same ground that the APPEAL opposes him.
Yet with these examples before it the Enter
prise directs its fire at the APPEAL alene Our
Comstock contemporary is owned by Bill
Sharon, and a scratch of his pen or a click of
his telegraph directs the plastic hand that de-
tends the back record and present intentions
of the man who has openly boasted that he
could buy up the vsters of Nevada with coin.
1t has also asserted that we have q pet can
didate and make out all the other candidates
a pack of scoundrels. We have never penned
wsrd against the personal or political integ
rity of Weodburn or Lewis, the other prsmi-
nent candidates against Sharon. We favor
Tritle as long as We believe he is the most
available weapon by which Sharon can be de-
feated. The moment We are convinced of the
superior strength Of Woodburn or Lewis our
support in that direction will be az hearty as
lies in cur power to make it, We deny that
Sharon is a good Republican. We're this
State Democratic, Sharon would be knocking
at the door Of Democratic Legislature for
the credentials which would enable him to
take a seat in the United States Senate If
Sharon will close up his sack and enter the
contest as the other aspirants are doing,
solely on merit, the APPEAL will be glad to
let the question drop from its columns and
let the people decide. That the Democratic
press depend upon the APPEAL for brains and
ideas is a compliment which we can hardly
accept The APPEAL is held in bondage to
nobody and it's editor will continue to express
his ideas regarding the use Of corruption
money in politics Let the Enterprise answer
these questions
If Sharon we're to 60 into bankruptcy to-
morrow would the Enterprise or any other
paper in the State support him!
Could he be elected without the use of coin2
Did he ever buy votes in Nevadai
What has he ever done for the Republican
party in the State of Nevada or in Washing
