Shenandoah ohap;sr Of Peace.

For more than a hunlredy years the Shen-
andoah Valley has been famous for its rich
productions. In describing it some writer
has said that the fertile earth seems Ia
hsve orept down FROM the submits Of two
lofty mountain ranges, about fifty miles
apart, stripping these great elevations OF
theirvegetstioh aud usefulness, and leaving
them gauut ala grim sentinels over the
wealth that had lei, them" During the
late "unpleasantness' this valley was the
scene Of several terrible battles Il was a
granary for the Southern army, and hence
the attempts made for its possession. The
names ofSheilds and Early and Sheridan
snd Stoncwall jackson are connected With
the contests in these heroic fields, Sheridan
was sent there with orders 70 destroy every
thing in the valley. The work Of destruc-
ton was thoroughly done, but DOW we are
told ihat these same fields are brown with
the fresh-plowed earth, or yellow with the
stubble of the gathered grain. Peace has
restored all that had been laid waste by the
rayages Of war

MORNING APPEAL


In Reno, Nevada, there are two
good Republican papers, the
Journal and the Gazette. One is
published in the morning and one
in the evening. and the city cannot
support any more papers at present.
Some time ago . paper called the
.Plsindealer was started by DR..
Hogan, q skillful physician, an &C.
complished gentleman and a logical
writer. The Plaindealer, it is said,
never paid the expense Of public4-
ton. The publisher admitted that
he did not run paper to make
money, but to lay before the public
his views on the question of paper
currency. While not benefitting
himself in the slightest degree, he
worked great injury to the other
papers in the city by cutting down
advertising rates to almost nothing.
Recently At . meeting of the Board
Of County Commissioners the regu-
lsr papers put in their bids for the
county printing. DR.. Hogan
agreed to do the work for $50 q
year and the Gazette, the next low
est bid, for 500 and the Commits
sioners realizing that the work could
not be done at $50 without loss
quite properly enough declined to
award the low bid, not wishing
to-encourage that sort of oompe-
tItion against papers which have for
years been building up and adver-
Using gratuitously the resources of
Washoe county.
