a Band Of Goats l..

A band of between 700 and 800
goats arrived from San Bernardino
county last Wednesday. The own
er, Jno. S. Harris, will keep them
between here and Reno until after
the fair, when he will move on to
Lassen county. Many Of this lot are
direct importations from Asia, where
Mr.. Harris went himself to obtain
good stock. The trip this far has
been difficult and hard. While pass
ing through Bloody Caf1on, west Of
Mono Lake, men and animals expe-
rienced great hardships, and in
Smiths Valley many of the goats
ate rattle weed and suffered in the
same manner as horses when they
are ratified. Since arriving here,
they have almost completely recov-
cared. These goat have taken more
premiums than any others in the U.
8. The owner has sample of hair
from a buck which he lost which is
seventeen inches long. He has also
made the largest shipment of mohair
ever made from America. There is q
growing demand for this article in
various directions and the raising Of
thoroughb bred Angoras is fast becom.
ing an important item of our ma
tional resources. The quantities OF
mohsir used in making the hair for
French dolls is said to be very great;
all the better class of ships bunting
is also made from the same material,
besides the numerous uses to which
it is put in the manufacture of wear
ing apparel. Mr.. Harris claims to
be the only person who ever went to
ASIA for the express purpose of i'm
porting thoroughbred goats, and has
now a band composed Principally of
defendants of animals which ran in
the hills of Angora until they were
brought to California by Mr.. Harris.

pamphlet on the use and misuse OF
musical talent in which he takes
strong grounds against the modern
taste for musical athletics. The new
system will in reality be but 10 renew.
al of the best features Of the music
of the past. Old airs will receive
attention under old names. Simple
instruments will be used such as are
within the reach of all. According
to the theory of Mr.. Haynes anyone
who is not muslcally lame may play
the jewsharp, but the most sensitive
and active tympsnum will not enable
its possessor to become a performer
on an expensive piano unless the tai
ent is supported by an abundance Of
sordid wealth the accumulation Of
which units by the habits engend-
cred, for the true appreciation of the
bhsutiful in music. Music answers
its highest purpose when it contrib
utes to the pleasure Of the masses and
not when difficult performance graf.
lies the vanity of 8 few. The high
est order in the new scale will con-
sist of the melodies in which the
people with natural tastes take de-
light. These melodies will stand to
what is now known as classical mu-
SIC in the same relation that the
romping play Of children does to the
performances of the over trained
athletes in circus. From the latter
where pleasure results 1t is intense
but of short duration, and on the
whole not beneficial, while the plays
in which every one joins confer both
pleasure and benefit not to few but
to all, not momentarily but continu-
aly if desired. The FIRST regular
meeting of the society was held last
evening when Mr.. Higgins exhibited
a violin made from a cigar boz upon
which he played some simple melo-
Edies with fine effect. This violin Is
the first of a series IF Improvements
by the which the society intends to
supply music for the million and also
teach the million that the grand OBJ
ject of music is to please the hearers
and not the performers. A vote Of
thanks was rendered Mr.. Higgins for
his industry in preparing the instru-
ment in trim for the meeting, and
after congratulations on the auspic-
ious beginning the Fl. 81. FL. adjourn
ed to meet next Friday evening.

volved IN litigation with outside
claimants. If Lang could revoke it
by will there is no reason why he
could not do so by parole. If it was
his so absolutely that he could dis
pose of it by will, it would undoubt-
eddy be liabe tor his debts. One OBJ
lect of this regulation was to prevent
this, and to secure it to such person
as he nigh desire. We think the
decree of the Orphans Court was
right. Decree affirmed and appeal
dismissed at the cost of appellent.

Of tOothache and suffered great pain

come loosened and diseased. Blood

A society for the proper cultivation
of musical taste, has been formed by
Haynes, Higgins, and Hackett. They
have adopted as the name OF the
society triplet of the common in

principles of the advanced apostles
of aesthetic music 1t will be their aim
to so simplify the art that its enjoy

are loved by those who have not &C

Blow Up a Dam.

The story is that parties from the
Humboldt meadows near Lovelock's,
went down to the old Horace Greedy
mill at the mouth OF the lake, and
blew up the dam the other day. The
water is now slowly spreading over
White Plains ten miles or so below
the dam. There is green feed now
all over there. Notwithstanding the
removal of the dam the water in the
lake is still rising and is backing up
on the ranches along the north side.
The farmers claim that the timbers
rotted out, and that no one blew it
up at all.--Reno Gazette.

Important Decision.

Chief Justice Sharswood, of Pitts
burgh, Pa, rendered q decision re.
Gently, in the Supreme Court, of in
terest to the Ancient Order of United
Workmen and similar Orders. c..
f. Lang, deceased, in his will, left a
beneficiary certificate to a different
person than the the one named in
the certificate issued by the Lodge.
The rules OF the Order forbid the
change, except upon notice and pay
ment of fee of fifty cents. This he
omitted, and Judge Hawkins decid-
ed that he had no power to change
beneficiaries except in strict compli-
aLce with the rules of the Order.
Justice Sharswood says: "The APP
preparation by Lang of moneys pay
able at his death on beneficiary
certificate could be revoked by him
only in the mode appointed in the
regulations adopted by the Grand
Lodge of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen. They had the unques.
toned right to make such regulation.
No doubt 1t was adopted with view
to prevent the Lodge from being in

Important Discovery,

Professors La Conte and Rising,
from the University Of California,
have been making a scientific exam

bedrock of the State Prison yard.
Prot. La Copte says it is one Of the

made. The tracks of the mastadon
are found in the SANE trail as those
of the man. Their report will be
very nteresting.--R Reno Gazette.
Our Dayton artist, c. f. Peterson,
