SAWED THE WRONG TREEs.-Yes-
terday q Carson lady who had been
visiting the Comstock returned to her
home, and was somewhat astonished to
find that most of her cottonwood trees
had been shorn Of their top branches,
and in one Of the remaining trees was
man vigorously at work with saw.
The lady took great pride in her trees,
and is 8 strong opponent of the theory
that the tops Of trees must be sawed Off
every spring to keep them healthy.
She was at first speechless with indig-
nation, but On recovering her breath
ordered the man down in a style which
admitted Of no argument. When he
reached the ground he explained that
he had been ordered to cut the trees by
a man who had directed him to the
spot. An Investigation showed that the
trees ordered cut were next door, and
the primer had made mistake in the
locality of the premises. After some
argument the lady was convinced that
pruning was the best thing for the
trees, and, becoming reconciled to the
theory, accepted the situation and paid
the man for his work.

A NEW RACE TRACK.
ONE TO BE BUILT AT TREADWAY PARK
AN ADDITIONAL ATTRACTION
FOR PICNICS.

Messrs. HalEinan and SWeeny propose,
during the present summer, to build q
mile race track at Treadway's Park, for
the benefit of horemen generally and
the picnic parties which come to Car
son annually on their excursions.
! THE OLD TRACK
Has always been looked upon as bad
location, and few people except mono
maniacs on the subject of horse-racing,
| like to go halt way to the State Prison
| to see trotting exhibitions. The dis
lance and the dust com bine to make
the track unpopular, and borsemen, as
q rule, have never liked the location.
THE NEW TRACK
VIII be built on the level field where
the s!arp-shooters have their targets
erected. It will be one mile in extent,
and by surrounding the 2G0-yard range
need in no way interfere with rifle
shooting, except when races are being
run. The level ground makes it ex-
tremely well adapted for a race-track,
and il will require but very little labor
to make it perfectly available. Not
unfrequently, when picnic parties cone
down from the C0mstock, a race is an
nounced at the old track for the same
day, and those who attend the picnic
and the race are obliged to divide the
day III such manner that they have
the full benefit OF neither the picnic nor
the race. By combining the two both
entertainments can be seen, as it is eX-
pressed in the circus bills, "Under one
tent"
SPEED PROGRAMMES
VIII be arranged for each picnic. Theo-
dore Winters, Of California, who has
been consulted in the matter, has
agreed to bring his horses up when
ever q purse Of $500 is offered. Matt.
Caravan, of Gold Hill, will also be on
hand, and half a dozen fast runners or
trotters can be secured at a weeks
notice. Mes3rs. Mailman and SWeoney
will furnish the purses, and already
numbers Of public-spirited Carson citi-
Zens have pledged themselves to con-
tribute to the building of the track and
the erection of suitable stands. A picnic
and horse race combined ought to draw
a big crowd, and the larger tie influx
from abroad the bigger the benefit for
Carson.

Carson has an old Indian who must be
possessed of the most wonderful appetite
imaginable. The APPEAL reporter has met
him two Or three times daily within the
past few years, aad at every meeting the
Indian tells him what grawing he has in
the stomach from the pangs of hunger. In
one respect this aboriginal gourmand has
partaken of the peculiar charae eristics of
his white brother, and that is. he can
sstrike" man for quarter Of a dollar, Or
a dime, with Chesterfieldian grace.

Fruit Stains.

In the season of fruits, the napkins
used at table, and often the handker-
chiefs and other articles, will become
stained. Those who have access to a
good drugstore can procure bottle
CT Javelle water. If the stains are wet
with this before the articles are put in
to the wash, they will be completely
removed. Those who cannot get Ja,
velle water can make solution u
chloride of lime. Four ounces of the
chloride of lime is to be put into a
quart of water, in a bottle, and after
thorough shaking allow the dregs to
settle. The clear liquid will remove
the stains as readily as Javelle water,
but in using this, one precaution must
be observed. Be careful to thoroughly
rinse the article to which this solution
has been applied, in clear water before
bringing it in contact with soap. When
Javelle water is used, this precaution
is not necessary; but with the chloride
Of lime liquid it is, or the articles will
become very harsh and stiff.

WASHINGTON.

CAPTAIN HowGATE has left Washington
leaving his family without a dollar, and !,
as nothing has been heard from him, it is
believed that he has fled the country with
his mistress
The presidents swollen gland is exceed
ingly painful, and the morning dressings
are quite tedious. He will not be given
solid food until his jaws are in condition
to properly masticate it. DR.. Hamilton
says the blood has not been poisoned.
Prayers for the sufferer are offered at the
central noon prayer-meeting in London.
PAYMAsrER-GENKRAL CUTTER, of the
United States Navy, having reached the
age of 62, retires from active service.
Secretary Hunt will appoint some one to
act in his place until the President is suf-
tciently recovered to determine on sue
cessor to Cutters position.
The president has suffered another
slight relapse. Attacks of vomiting re-
CURED, but it is given out that phlegm in
the throat, rather than weakness Of the
stomach, caused the disturbance. The
plan of removal to Long Branch is still
Kept in view. The patients condition is
still very critical.
Mr. GuITEAU continues to be favored
with menaces which, however impotent
in the working of real bodily harm to
him, can not be conducive to his self
complacency and repose of mind. A
postal-card from Iowa gives him this dtty
for his consolation:
"We wish we were thy night cap strings;
Around thy neck we'd glide,
And in an ecstasy of bliss
We'd choke thee till thee died.
IT has been decided to remove the pres
ident from the white house at the earliest
possible date, and the Tallapoosa will be
kept in readiness for brief trip to the
sea. Guiteau mas written to district attor-
ney Corkhill, announcing his regret that
he was not able to kill the president while
in church, thus securing his death without
suffering.
The secretary of state has report from
Consul Duncan at Smyrna, showing that
Mr.. Blaine has not yet entirely rescued
the American hog from foreign dsfavor.
MIR. Duncan says Turkey also catches
the contagion of porkophobia from France
and other European countries that have
followed her lead. and forbids the impor-
tation of American salted pork into the
Ottoman empire"

THE condition of affairs in what is
known as Egypt" in southern Illinois,
is exceedingly distressing. For an area
extending one hundred miles north
from Cairo, and from the Indiana state
line west to the Mississippi river, rich
and fertile farming country has bean
literally deprived Of many Of its usual
products. The long drouth dried up
the fields and the streams. The wheat
was almost q total failure, and the corn
has failed to mature, the young plants
dying before being half-grown. The
root crops are exceedingly meager'
The pastures are dried up. The cattle
are suffering for want Of food and wa
ter. The unfortunate people are IN
sad plight, and many of them will soon
need help from outside to keep from
starvation. Already they are selling
off their last horses and cattle, and
have but little left. Never before has
Southern Illinois been affected as now

THERE was nothing small in How
gates manner of doing business, if the
charges against him are true. When
the telegraph company presented a
bill, it is said that he always required
duplicate. The account was paid,
and corresponding amount was pock-

duplicate bill was altered, and both
were filed as vouchers. It is almost
Incredible that such transactions could
occur amid all the red tape that is re-

often conceals instead of preventing

sThrough the Weary Hours

Of many night made doubly long by its pro-
tracted agony the rheumatic sufferer tosses to
and fro on his sleepless couch, vanly praying for
that rest which only comes by fits and starts. His
malady is one which ordinary medicines too often
fail to relieve, but there is ample evidence to
prove that the efficient blood depurent. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, affords the rheumatic q re-
liable means of relief. Check the malady in its
incipient stages, when the first premonitory
twinges come on, With this agreeable medicine,
aud avoid years Of torture. Whatever be the
rationale of the active influence Of the Bi,ters
upon this malady, certain it is that no evidence
relating to its effects is more direct and positive
than that which relates to its action in cases Of
rheumatism Like all sterling remedies, however
it deserves protracted, systematic trial, and
should not be abandoned because not at once re.
medal. II is equally eficacious in dyspepsia, in
digestion and kindred diseases.

The German government will not
discourage emigration by placing tax
on food. The laborer in that country
is paid little enough, and to place a tax
upon flour, and wheat, and corn is but
taking so much from his wages to pour
into an already overhowing treasury.
