A Little Girls Sacrifice.
BURNING HER TOYS TO TRY TO KEl

HER SICK PARENTS FROM FREEZING.
A telegram from Kingston, N. Y,
February 9th, says: Away back in the
widest part of this country, among the
mountains and forests of the sparsely
settled town of Hardenburg, q place it
takes week to communicate with, not
far from the little hamlet of Inverwood,
and near the place where the Rev. J, G.
Beecher, brother of Henry Ward
Beecher, breaches, lives little Nellie o.
born, child of six years. Her father
and mother were both suddenly stricken
with fever, being unable to leave their
bed. Living in an isolated place, far
from neighbors, and being scantily sup
piled with tho necessaries of life at this
severe and inclement season, with snow
lying three or four feet deep every
where, the situation may be imagined.
Little Nellie did what she could to alle-
viate their sufferings:. in every way. It
was bitter cold, their rude little house
offered poor resistance to the winds, the
bed. covering was not abundant, the
supply of fire-wood finally gave out.
The little girl took her wooden play
things and tried to keep the fire going
with them. Then she kneeled by the
couch of her sick mother and prayed {:
please, dear Lord, send big. good
man to help u.s." Help came in the
person of James McGavitt, lumber
man of the mountains, who found the
family in the condition stated, and af-
forded prompt relief. Little Nellie be-
came sick with the fever afterward.
Assistance has now been offered by q
charitable lady of Irvington, whose
sympathy was excited by the child's
sacrifice of her toys.
A Galveston candidate, who be-
came very affectionate with c0l0red vo-
tiers during election, told an influential
daakey during an outburst of election
excitement;
II would rather ten times over take
the hand of an honest colored man than
that of a white loafer."

Free Advertising.

Let every man who publishes news
paper in Nevada beware of the wiles OF
cheap advertising agencies. The sew
ing machine vultures, and the carriage
corrnorants are now making their sum-
mers raid. During the past week the
APPEAL has had half dozen offers from
manufacturing firms wanting to pay for
advertising in trade. One proposition
is to insert a double cut of a wagon made
at Racine, Wis, for a due bill $50.
The due bill accompanied by SO cash
will purchase a wagon from Mitchell
Sears & Co marked $3.50. The wagon
really costs about $50 to make and is
sold for 500. The publisher who ac-
cepts the advertisement pays good
price for the goods in cash and throws
in $50 worth ofadvertising. The swind-
ling sewing machine agencies seek to
secure free advertising in the same un-
business like plan.

Nevada Grass.

The flying correspondents who pass
through Nevada write it down as vast
stretch of sagebrush and alkali. Now
the truth is that in Carson and Eagle
valley there are streams as clear and
fields as green and inviting as ever
flashed under a California sun and al
falfa that sways in the .Washoe
yephyrs" is as luxuriant and succulant
as any cut in the valley of the Sacra-
mento. Yesterday Rail received an
invoice Of twelve moving machines,
nine of which have already been taken
by farmers not dozen miles from Car
son. Now it isn't likely that farmers
would put up money for mowers if
they had nothing but sagebrush and
alkali to harvest Bluegrass and alfalfa
grows richer and stronger In Nevada
soil than anywhere on the coast, with
proper irrigation.

Should be StODDed.

When Spring opened the birds made
themselves at home on the capitol square.
Robins and orioles scampered over the
grass and futtered in the trees scarcely
taking any notice of the passers by, but
of late it is rare thing to see bird in
the square, from the fact that they
have been pestered to death by boys,
who catch them in trap-cages and stone
them whenever an opportunity offers.
The birds should be made to feel at
home in the square and the boys should
be made to realize that they must
stop molesting the birds or suffer the
consequences.

Mob Law ut Lewis.

A citizen of Lewis writing under date
| of June 18th to the Eureka Sentinel thus
decribes an outrage which took place in
| the town. Between the hours of l and
IL O'Clock a mob came INFO town from
the Star and Grove mine, which is
about two and half miles distance from
Lewis, or Lower Town, as it is some
times called. The mob was headed by
George w. Boutwell,, Superintendent of
the Star and Grove mine, and his fore
man, Thomas G. Morgan, and shift
bosses Richard Scuba, Thomas Simons,
and Harry Edwards, the balance Of the
mob consisting of about 40 men, the
most of whom were miners. They march,
ed through the town to the company's
office, where they were armed with self
cooking pistols, and by order of the
leaders proceeded to the corner of Main
and South streets, where Mr.. Langdon
was building house, which Boutwell,
claimed to be on the company's ground.
The mob overpOwerd the officers, tore
down the building, and threw the lum-
Der bowman embankment and across the
railroad track. They then formed in
line and marched to house in the rear
of MarshalPs Hotel, which is the pro-
perty of George Lincoln and Matt Con-
nors. They began tearing this house
down over the owners heads. Mr.. Con-
nors, who is an ivalid, begged for time
to get out of the house, which was re-
luctantly granted. After the men got
out of the house it was completely torn
down and thrown in every direction,
they being SO eager to do their work
that they even removed the chips and
small pieces of plank, after which
they retired to the mines, or Upper
Town.

Nitrate OF soda i'm Nevada.

1t has been long believed that nitrate
of soda could be not found in America.
The Chronicle says:
Nitrate of soda, a chemical largely
used in the manufacture of explosives,
with a present market value of $75 per
ton, has recently been found in the
Humboldt district, twelve miles south
Of Lovelock's station, on the Central
Pacific railroad. The beds, so far I'M
covered, yield 60 per cent pure nitrate
of soda. A. Hebberling, a practical
chemist connected with the Carson
Mint, has just returned from a visit to
the soda deposits and reports favorably :.
The deposits were discovered by
Sine Barnes, who has been out prospect
ing with nothing but pair of blankets
and a mule. He reports valley sew
eral miles wide in which exists vast
fields of the nitrate of soda and noun.
tains of borax. There are several knobs
of the latter product hundred feet
high. The market value of the borax
is IL cents per pound. The C. & c.
road is pushing in tine direction of the
find, and a company of capitalists of this
city are organizing to work the fields.
It is believed, by some, that such a dis
covery is more valuable than the best
silver ledge In Nevada.

Senator William Gibson felt hungry

Dan Donovan's lunch stand, wrapprd

There was a sumptuous lunch spread
at the Opera House yesterday after
noon by the ladies Of the Presbyterian
Church. They called it lunch for
short but in reality it was big
square meal, such as men delight. to
master. The fame of the lunch spread
rapidly and there was large attend
ance. In the evening the hall was
filed with the friends of the church
and the affair was in all respects an en-
couraging success. The ladies who
managed the entertainment may feel
well satisfied with their work.

The Honest Prospector.

Some months ago several business
and professional men of Bodie organized
prospecting syndicate, with capital
of $3.50. The Free Press says that a
large and powerful horse, a fine buck
board, harness, tools, provisions, blank
cts, arms, ETC., were purchased, and
these together with well filled purse
placed i'm the hands of a chosen pros
pector and he at once moved upon the
rich mineral region of Inyo county.
After while the prospector drew on
the syndicate for more money, writing
from Big Pine. The money was sent,
but had scarcely reached its destination
when the trusted. prospector made an
other draft. This was repeated until
the syndicate was bankrupt, and then
the prospector became silent. Inquiry
about the horse, buck board and harness
revealed the fact that the -"honest'
prospector had esoaked'' them at Big
Pine and left for parts unknown, re-
marking as he left, that while he "didn't
regard the prospecting expedition as an
unqualified success, yet he had hades
sight of fun playing poker" The
horse, harness and blackboard were re-
deemed, and on Wednesday last Smith
& Stevens sold them at auction for 500.
A number of cases similar to the above
have occurred in this locality.

A PLEASANT CORPSE.
How . Nevada Newspaper Man IL Obliged

A journalist from the mountains who
was visiting in this city last week, says
the San Francisco Daily Report, was re-

porting shooting scrape in my paper

incipient pneumonia and would die in
short time anyhow. There was one
fellow, though, who had killed Ave or
six men within q few weeks, and l
wrote a leader in which I suggested
that the graveyard was filling up too
fast for new camp; that subscription
lists for funeral expenses were almost
too frequent; and that some folks ought
to drop on themselves and not be so
handy with their six-shOoter5. The
next day the fellow called on me and

And the places they took re just the same,
As on the theater boards at light,
With end men holding the left and right;
Bones, tassoon aud tamborine,

With the fellow that dealt the game,
