Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1882-02-26

\ singular incident disturbed the
eGuanimity Of the Times editorial stiff
on Monday last. The Times boasts of
its accuracy and care in revising proofs.
and certainly it is not often caught nap
ping. In the Monday morning edition
of the paper full report was given of
the speech delivered on the preceding
Saturday by Sir Vernon Harcourt, and
what was the horror of the sub-editor at
discovering, after half the edition was
printed, that 4 drunken or malicious
compositor had interpolated two lines
of his own, in addition to the "copy"
given him, in the middle of Sir Vernon
Harcourt's speech. The Interpolation
was the vilest and most filthy ribaldry
that the imagination of an impure mind
could possibly conceive How on earth
the matter escaped the proof readers
and was permitted to be stereOtyped is
a mystery. When the affir was dis
covered the Walter presses were at
once stopped and the offensive lines de-
leted, but this was not done before the
early newspaper trains had carried off
all the country edition, and good por-
ton Of the papers intended for the me-
tropolis had been distributed. AS COM
pared with the cheaper London dailies,
the Times has not an enormous circula-
laton. l believe now that about TO-
600 copies are printed every day. The
management was intensely mortified at
the unfortunate occurrence, and has
spent many hundreds of pounIs-I may
say thousands-in trying to stop the
sale of the edition. Those consigned to
distant places were stopped by telegraph
before they could be distributed, and
agents were sent in every direction to
buy up any papers in circulation. The
first price offered was half a crown per
copy, but price ran up, as some specuIa-
tors got hold of a quantity, and finally
as much as two guineas $50 5O) per
copy was paid.-Co1r. Philadelphia TEL

1t seems the sufferers from the Mich
igan fire are not yet out Of their
troubles. Hay is required for their
cattle, and more provisions for the pee
pie, while as spring approaches grain
will be required to sow their spring
crops. They have managed to pull
through the winter without many ar
ticl"~ which they needed, but there is
good deal Of sickness among them
growing out Of their needy condition.

A good baptist paper in the East tells
the following: Tommy was a little
rogue, whom his mother he'd hard work
to manage. Their house in the coun-

and crept under the house. Presently

A HighlY-Fiuished Girl.


A day or two ago a Brooklyn girl re-
irnPd home from a male and female
harding school with her degree of B.

siderable bangness on the top row of

lew thing in gum chewers' row, any

The father contemplated her for a
moment in silence, and then told her
who had moved in the neighborhood
during her absence.
'.Do they hook behind or are they
frogged in front?" she demanded.
They were about her age, he respond

Awful Warning,

At one of the Thomas concerts at Chi.
cago, the electric lights suddenly went
out. leaving the audience in perfect
darkness for a few minutes. This was
thought glorious by some of the young
couples present, and over in the south
east corner of section B some one was
heard to say in q suppressed undertone:
'Je-wliillikens, Susie, what the deuce
have You got in your mouth?" Just
then the light blazed up again, and q
young man was noticed holding his
hand over his mouth. A stream of blood
was trickling through his fingers. and
the expression on his face touched the
Observers heart. His girl took some-
thing cut of her mouth and put it in
her pocket, looking panied and guilty.
She led him quietly to the door, and
they passed out. Young ladies should
not wear their hairpins in their mouths.
1t is not the place for them, and q
wound in the side of the jaw, made by
coming suddenly and painfully in con-
tact with a cruel two-pointed hairpin at
a time when his heart is set on q mo-
ment of ecstatic bliss. might result in a
