prickly pears and wild currants, that
are sour enough to make o hog squealy
if the hog was foolish enough to take
any Of, them in It's mouth. Recently,

partner, James Daris, who now resides
in Elko, and makes -four for the inhabi-

A Vaquero's Feat.

Some of the boys, among them. a
vaquero,, were celebrating Christmas
yesterday in their own peculiar way.
The vaauero rode by doye-cote on
Third street and concluded to inspect
the stove. pipe, which projected several
feet above the roof. In his opinion the
easiest way to accomplish this was to
get down the pipe, so taking his RATA
in his hand he put spurs to his steed
and he rode on sgallop along the street,
threw the rope, which in an instant was
tightly drawn around. the pipe, and
ierked it from the bnilding. Deputy
Sheriff Davidson did not appreciate the
sport, and the vaquero,was arrested.

will say that, after we had some con-

the "Thistle Dew" we told him, at our"

not care for him,or his whisky, and hea
should get some one else to handle it;

hours with flying feet, until 4. o'clock

during the night to mar the harmony OF
the occasion, and the general verdict
was that a more enjoyable affair than
the bal masque never took place here
or elsewhere in Nevada.

THE MASQUERADE BALL.

The Motley Merry Makers Hold High
Carnival in Centennial Hall
The masquerade ball, given under the
auspices of Winnemucca Hose Co., No.
/, in Centennial Hall on Christmas Eve,
was among the pleasantest affairs of the
kind that ever came off in the county.
Quite large number of ladies and gem
tlemen appeared in costume, and the
seats were filed with spectators. The
hall was tastefuly decorated with flags,
pictures and evergreens, and seats were
arranged on the stage for spectators.
TILE. MUSIC.
A philosopher once said that what
we call soul is. that which animates.
In the associations of man, while in the
pursuit of happiness and pleasure,
music, with it's voluptuous swell,
breathes its harmonious strains, en-.
rapturing the senses with it's dulcet
measures. Tom. Moore, the gifted poet,
wrote:
'tfhe harp thai once through Tara's hall
The soul of music shed,
Now lies as mute on Tara's walls
AS if that soul had acd"
In the sense of it's implication, the
above is certainly a most beautiful ef
fusion of thoughtful feelings. but. as we
listened to the sweet concord OF sound,
and beheld the thrill of pleasure that
animated the assembled array of fair
ladies and brave men at Centennial
Hall on Christmas Eve, we could not
but realize that "the soul of music still
lives in our immediate surroundings,
and that
"Musies chords which sweled that night,
Sweet symphonies of pleasure spread.
The music on the occasion of the
Firemen's Ball was, rendered by Messrs.
John Cox, Sam. Bnckner, Geo Berk
and Jerry Nichols, who are,all entitled
to much credit.
John Cox is professor Of music of
high order, and, on the cornet, showed
that he was an artist worthy the en-
comium of the most searching critic,
and it afforded us great pleasure when
Gle oped the foodgate and let loose tide
OF streaming sweetness, which in state did ride
On the waved back of every swelling strain,
Rising and falling in pompous train;
And while he thas poured forth a constant
stream
OF flashing airs, he qualified. their zeal
With the cool epode OF. grayer note;
Now high, now low-music seemed poured
Into loose ecstacies.
Sam. Buckner, on the violin, should
be highly commended for the manner
in which
Gle lightly skirmished on each
String charged with flying touch
Quick volumes OF soft notes,
His ninble hands brought from each. vocal
thread
A wondrous. cheerfulness.
George Berk and Jerry Nichols, in
their respective parts, were worthy of
much praise, for
every smooth turn, every delicious stroke
Gave life to. some new grace"
But, after all
"Those precious mysteries that dwell,
In MuSc's rayished soul we dare not tell.
But whisper to the world
