of the blanket, the latter being SO
heavily water-laden that he failed to
notice the loss of the midget for whose
safety he abandoned that for which so
many a man sacrifices his earthly and
eternal happiness.
At the point where Mr. Chartz landed
he found q number Of other men who
had saved themselves from the burning
/ ship, all of whom had lost the results of
their weary years Of hard labor and de-
privations in the mines of California.
The subject of this sketch had not
been on the beach more than five min
utes before the body of woman, clad
in an apple-green dress, whom he recog-
nized as the wife of Mr.. Given, was
washed ashore. The men at once began
to dig grave with their hands in the
sand in which to consign the remains
of the poor woman as decently as the |
circumstances would permit, and each !
retained portion Of the green dress as |
memento. While the digging of the
grave was in progress one of the party |
observed the body of an infant being
brought in by the surf It was found to
be alive, and recognized by Mr.. Chartz
as the child which was placed in his
charge by Mr.. Given, a fact which he
impaired to his fellow sufferers, and the
little waif was tenderly looked after.
Among the rescued party was a divine
who christened the child q Ella Oceani-
Gus Given" The survivors of the ILL
fated steamer remained at ManzaniIio
until the steamship st. Louis, from
Panama, arrived there and returned
hem to San Francisco.
When Mr.. Given, who was also never
heard of again, placed his little girl into
he custody of Mr.. Chartz, he acquaint-
"a him with the address of the child's
grandmother, resident of San Fran
lscO, and upon his arrival in that city
Re visited the bereaved old lady, whose
anne has escaped the memory of the
ritter, and gave the child into her GUS

owever: that he would be allowed to
iopt little Ella after he had attended

The stock display was meager one

been discreditable to Western county

the first day two of the principal races
were failures, single horse in each

repeated on "Wednesday, when Bald

for forfeit. On the third day of the
Fair, when the writer visited it, there

not one worth mentioning. These plain
and unpalatable facts are given in no

instead of offering obstacles to the sue
cess of the Fair, has given it all the
assistance possible in the way of gratui-
tous advertising. Many causes have
contributed to make our State Fair
failure, few of which may be enum-
Grated: The dull times may be set
down as the primary cause. Next
comes the States inability to get up a
creditable exhibition within itself.
Without assistance from California we
can do but little in the way of giving a
State exhibition, and California this
year refused, except in half-hearted
manner toward the Pavilion part of the
show, to come to our relief. Eastern
Nevada has no interest in our State
Fair, as shown by the conspicuous alb
