Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1881-05-20

The Grass Valley Free Lance relates
the following: "The word Eslichens,'
now generally used by the newspapers
of this State, and which almost has leg
islative sanction, was first printed, as
applying to mining debris, in the Grass
Valley Union. The writer OF this para
graph was employed on that journal,
and che day got a. item from Jonatha Ii
Clark, of Nevada City, who at the time
resided at Wheatland. Jonathan was
in Grass Valley on business, on the
occasion referred to, and the reporter
.,t i1aliy asked him If he had any news
re, the valleys to relate. He replied
that there was nothing especially new,
but thai he had heard Wheatland
man say that the slickens had spread
very much over the Simpson bottoms,
near Marysville, during the late high
water. The item was printed, and from
it the word slickens goes into the
dictionary of the future"

A New York letter-wrlter has been
giving some "reminiscences OF Horace
Greeley. In late communication he
says: remember walking down Fifth
avenue one morning, when Greeley
overlook me. AS we came opposite
William B. Astor's house, he turned up
his thumb and asked: do you ever go
there, Sam" NO. | said, i never do;
it isn't safe for journalists to let million
aires furnish their dinners and patronize
Them He looked at me and said With
that never-to-be-forgotten draWi Of his:
sam, ! hate rich manv And he did.
He seldom, if ever, stuck his legs under
4 millionaire's mahogany"

MIR. GUS. WILLIAMS

sHe cannot try 10 speak with gravity,
But one perceives he wags an idle tongue;
He cannot try to look demure, but spite
Of all he does, be shows a daughters cheek;
He cannot even essay to walk sedate,
But in his very gait one sees a jest.

or orally to Congress upon matters relating
TO his department becomes no more member
OF Congress "than does the chaplain, or a con
teStant or his counsel, OF delegate" This Is
not new question, as the committee show

The Monroe Doctrine.

REPORT OF REPRESENTATIVE HILL.
Mr. Hill, OF Ohio, to whom was delegated the
task OF preparing report on the subject OF the
Monroe doctrine. has performed that duty and
submitted his conclusions TO the committee on
foreign affairs. The report In substance declares
that no European government or power should
be allowed TO construct or exercise control over
any canal built across the isthmus. Ii goes a
little beyond the Monroe doctrine, which ap-
piled only to political systems on this CONT
nent, but asserts that In view of our extensive
sea coast and our vast possessions on the Pacific
that any change OF navigation OF the two great
oceans Is question OF paramount interest TO the
people OF the Z. s.. and insists that no foreign
power shall control such interoceanic commu-
n1cattOn. 1t does recognize the right OF New
Grenada to Improve her own territory by any
sort OF enterprises in which she may wish to
engage. declares in favor OF canal open to the
commerce OF the world upon equal terms under
American control. 1t quoted Monroes mes
sage, Jenel sons letters, Mr.. Canning, who Was
secretary OF foreign affairs OF Great Britain at
the time Of the Monroe message, Lord
Brougham, and others 1t recites briefly the
doiDgs OF the holy alliance which led to the
PRONUNCIATION OF the Monroe message, recftes
the action OF Congress from 1925 to the present
time, quoted from Wheaton and President Vol.
sey OF Yale College, on International law: the
speeches OF Clay, Calhoun, Douglass Webster.
Cass, and other eminent statesmen on the sub
je6t- Accompanying the report Is q series of
resolutions which deny the right OF European
poWel6 to instruct or In any way control a
canal across the tsthmus OF Panama.

The District i'm Congress.

IL an opportunity is offered this afternoon,
Gen. Hunton Will call up the bill to provide for
a free bridge across the Potomac at or near
Georgetown. At the conference between the
House and Senate managers yesterday, the
differences between the Senate and House were
reconciled on this basis: The United States is
10 pay the present aqueduct bridge company,
not to exceed the sum OF $4,000,
In consideration of which the United
States is to be given IN undisputed title to the
present bridge, its piers and all its ehppurte
nances. 1t is agreed also 10 allow the Alexan.
drfa and Chesapeake canal TO maintain such
canal across the bridge, but said canal is never
to be an expense To the United States. Mr
Claf1fD, OF Mass. who Is interested TO some eY.
tent, told Mr. Neal, OF the District committee
today ne had no doubt the terms or the bill
Will prove acceptable to the bridge company
AS TO the Alexandria canal, Mr.. Neal thinks /,
will soon be abandoned as Improbable.

The Death Of Thoma. CarIyIc,

I'ho>. Carlyle, the veteran British historian
whose death is announced to day, was born a.
Ecalefechan Scotland, In 1875, entered the [ nj
versity OF Edinburgh at the age OF fourteen, and
was teacher at kirkcaldy when only Is, IN Il
school established By Edward Irving. HIS
father intended him as minister OF the Kirk
or scotland but he could not conscieatiously
subscribe the doctrines Of the church and 50
turned his attention to a literary career. He
mastered the German language and literature
he prefixed an essay on proportion
ard wrote the Life OF Scniler,S which
Which was published in 1925 L. He translated
Goethe's "Wiihclm Meister' and wrote bio
graphical essays on Flchte and Jeun Paul, and
1t was his labors mainly which called the at
tentioE OF the British public to German litera-
lutes; he married. Ia lS2G, Jane WEIGH. a
lineal descendant OF John Knox, and resided for
SIX years upon his Wife's estate In Dlmfrie-
shire. during which time he wrote continually
tie wrote several volumes OF tran5lations froGl
graphical Sketches for the Eainburgh
1884, and by his Industry ' SOD" ~
won for himself reputation as one OF the lead
ing literary men OF the times. He published IL
rapid succession his History OF the French
Revolution" Life Of Oliver Cromwell" Lite
OF John Sterling, and Life OF FREDERICK tn
Great" and followed them With numerous p3
says, reviews and miscellaneous p pampSlet5. Ii
became the rector OF Edinburgh University ~
ls66, but long before that time his reputatiou
as aUtl0r and historian had been firmly eStah
lished. He was thorough student: naturally s..
dentary and reclusive; cared nothing Tor am
companionship except that OF his books; blunt
and CutSpoken In his opinion of men and
things. and had very little regard for the feel
ings or opinions OF others. He was OF a rugged
nature and OF rough exterior. His hair was
Sti1, grilZled and 1r0W3y. eyebrows shaggy.
skin wrfnkied. and his voice was strong. and
his manners generally such as TO render tho5e
around him uncomfortable. In spite, however
of appearances, It is claimed by those who
knew him Intimately that his frozen manne.
could melt into tenderness, and that his rude
frankness OF opinion Was due TO his simplicity
OF nature. OF late years Mr. Carlyle has los
caste, the world having learned q good deaf
mere than he could teach, and was disposed TO
ignore what IL owed TO him as a teacher. Dur
ing the American civil war Carlyle was open in
the expression OF his opinion OF the overthrow
OF the republic, and thus added another to the
many errors previously exhibited In his
writings. His complete works, published in
1s69-.1, comprised thirty volumes besides
which there are three volumes of translations.
