Return Of the Excursionis,s.

The Union Guard Band returned from
their excursion yesterday afternoon, and
were received by the company in full uni
form at the depot. The body then re-
turned to town with flying colors, the
band d%iscoursing triumphant strains.
The excursionists had been absent eight
days, and during that time visited Pali-
SADIE, Battle Mountain, Austin, Carlin and
Winnemucca. All of these places accord
ed the Base Rangers a warm reception,
at Austin and Carlin it amounting to a
perfect ovation. Their entertainments
were all we'll attended, and financially and
unsteady the trip was a fatteripg success.
Last evening, Just before dark, the band
serenaded Alice Oates at the Jackson
House, rendering the deliciously sweet air
OF 1.-THE Rose OF Allendale" in the most
captivating and perfect The
little prima donna was so charmed by
the piece and music, that in her enthusi-
asm she flung one Of her gloves
from the porch to Professor Hendy, the
leader Of the band, a compliment which
that gentleman graciously acknowledged
by placing the dainty souvenir in his left
breast. The agent OF the troupe also in
vited the serenaders into the jackson
House saloon to show his appreciation Of
good music and the honor shown to Miss
Oates.
The members Of the band speak in glow
ing terms of the trip and their manager,
w. j. Penrose, who handled the party
throughout without causing a single COM
plant, making every possible arrangement
for comfort and enjoyment at each place
before the excursionists arrived. A dele.
cation from Elko waited upon Mr.. Penrose
at Pslisade to induce the band to visit that
place, but lack Of time prevented 1t.

ThespfMu Rumor,

A umo has gained currency that W.
E. Sheridan, the well known actor for some
time on this coast, on his return East
shortly, will drop in at Eureka and assist
Miss Clara Jean Walters in the production
OF a number Of her excellent plays at the
Opera House. Nearly all of the ANA
under the instruction of Miss Walters, and
these will find the lady one of the best
dramatic teachers in the profession. To
our young people it will offer a splendid
chance to study correct elocution, an ac-
complishment that is fully worth the
striving for. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Sheridan can be prevailed upon to
come to Eureka and appear on our boards
with Miss Walters.

rushed out on the stage and gave her cele-

There is a way with some Of the people
here on Main street to wet down their
floors and sweep the water on to the side
walks, and to put their ashes and live
Goals in the cellar. Now if they should
both be put on the sidewalk in the order
in which they are mentioned, or both be
put in the cellar in reverse order, il would
be better. Damages for broken limbs are
likely to be sued for before the present
season Of frost Is over, though it is still an
open question as q matter Of precedent
whether a man may tumble about and
break himself at some other persons ex-
pense. The old rule consequently re-
mains imperative, Let him who stand
eth take heed lest he fall" without any
reference to the intimation conveyed by
another axiom, THE wicked stand on

STRANGE STEPS.
Imprints ON the Rock that Resem-

Imprfnts IN the ROCK that Resem.
bic Human Feet
The fossil impressions on the floor Of the
quarry at the Nevada State Prison, at Car
son, are attracting considerable attention.
The Carson Index devotes three columns
to a description of them, from which we
extract the following:
Approaching near the artificial cliff q
series of wooden platforms, which extend
northeasterly and southwesterly, were
raised from their places and to our aston
ished vision were revealed apparently hui
man tracks proceeding from under the
rock and going southwesterly. Six or
eight of these mighty tracks, each not
much if any less than eighteen inches
long, with a stride between them from
heel to heel Of about two feet. The tracks
are precisely as though the feet were
clothed with moccasins. There are no dis
tinct outlines of the toes. But in every
particular the tracks indicate q biped with
feet having one other than human form
This series of tracks, as they progress in
the direction we have given, seem to end
only through the fact that the floor is not
intact, but had been excavated by the
workmen who probably did not discover
such fossils as they pursued their labors.
The tracks indicate great weight in the
physical structure Of the being who made
them, and a peculiar stiffness in the mud
or ooze upon and in which he trod. The
displacement Of the mud caused a +" bulge"
around the exterior outline Of the foot,
which is not far from an inch abve the
adjacent surface Of the floor. The depth
of the tracks, measured from the surface
Of the "bulge," is about two inches; in
some cases q little above. The displace-
ment or raising Of the original surface Ia
~perceptible to a distance Of six inches
from the outline of the foot. The forego-
ing particulars will indicate to scientific
persons the probable nature and consist
ency Of the ground or earth In which the
tracks were originally made.

This Opera last Night-A Large
House and n Satisfactory Enter
ainmeut

The attendance last night at the Opera
House was fully up TO that Of Monday,
and. as on that occasion, Ruby Hill was
largely represented, the Union Guard be-
ing conspicuous all over the house. Al
though the orchestra was somewhat Of an
Improvement on Monday night, we have
still to regret that 1t was not better than it
was. 30 much depends upon the accom-
psniments n instrumental aid in these
light operas that the slightest hitch in
these features mar the efforts OF the per-
formers and really renders q fair criticism
OF their singing impossible, We are glad
TO offer the assurance Of the management
mat the orchestra will be still further and
substantially improved this evening for
the rendition OF 1.-THE Little Duke" The
company Is unqualihedly first rate, and
we are pleased to think they are not likely
to be handicapped hereafter to such an
extent as formerly by an inefficient or
chestra. The GOODNESS of the theater did
no tend to add to the comfort OF either
the audience or the performers,
and 1t seems strange that o mat
ter so easily rectiAed should be
left unattended to. In spite of
all these drawbacks, however, Girofie
dirofia was well rendered, and q very
marked improvement In the chorus parts
was discernible. The opera Is an old one
and TEEN with effective choruses, the
most celebrated OF which is in the drinking
scene in the second act. Here, however,
the efforts OF the people on the stage were
sadly hindered by the ineffective orchestra,
and the gem Of the opera passed without an
encore. The acting throughout was re-
markably good. Miss Oates as usual ex-
hioitlng that charming v~ivacity and spirit
which makes her irresistible. Misses
SaiuWeii and Townsend ably supported
her, and the minor characters were all we'll
sustained. Mr.. Sturges confirmed the
favorable impression he has already created
