Uauesinth IN general are unnecessarily
agualed, fearing that Senator Dennis
and Colonel Shaw's suggestion 10 cut
the coming legislative session down TO
twenty or thirty days may he seriously
considered and acted upon. But he who
is acquainted with the common run of
the Nevada Legislatofhas no misgiving
that way. The Constitution of this
State provides that sixty days shall be
the maximum numberfsr regular ses-
sion of the Legislature, and that the
members will avail themselves of that
Constitutional hight should not be
doubted for a moment even by those
who do moi believe in the universal
cupidity OF mankind. The Pc, aitm
and sociafPteasure s,cf our State CAPT.
tai are allnrements not so easily relin-
9uished. They,bays proven so in the
past, and the body meeting here on the,
hrst Monday OF next honth will not be
an exception to the long established
rule. 1t is true, there will be not much
to do besides electing a. United States
Senator and Stale Paison Warden; but
what boots that? The Legislature will
remain in session sixty days, and on that
point you are safe to mark me down as
true prophet. Nearly all the rooms
Of The various hotels have been engaged
by our Law trainers and their friends for
period Of sixty days, which proves
rather conclu,iyely that they mean 10
moke stay of it.
On Saturday last a young lady Of
this town and we'll known here, ro-
manlically married man whom she
had seen for the first time only twenty
hours before. The story goes that sew.
eral months ago the brld.groo m, res
idenl Of San Francisco, inserted an ad
vertisemenl in a city paper under the
head of "wife wanled3' The Carson
ilady, spying the advertisement,
answered it ina spirit o. jest. A cor
respondence followed and con inued un-
Ill cupid fairly en,Angled the mi.chiev-
Gus Miss IN his meshes The groom is
said 10 be a sober, well-lo. DO business
man. The couple left '6s the Bay Sat
urday might, and ,there. was a large
crowd oi curious snes ~ the depot to
see them of. Everything is SO quiet
here that this episode has caused quite
a ripple OF amusing talk. ~
We have now a full-hrdGed amateur
dramatic orgaplzatiou, in winch is rep.
| resented almost every strata OF the Cap
ital's society, as well as every grade OF
our home dramatic talent. The best
can say for the organization at this
early Stage Of its existence, is that it
contains some OF the sweetest and pref.
test girls Of Carson. | am afraid
actresses are launching out too boldly
by presenting Richard Ill as their in.
troductory piece. II they do not make
lamenlable failure OF their essay
shall be pleasantly surprised. A young
journalistic and literary friend tells me
that he intends to crilicise the play as
if the performers were Professionals. II
he carries his threat into ex :culi ion, and
I'll trow he'll do it, he may expect the
"cut direct" from sources which now
greet him with smile. My advice to
tho,e aspirants for histrionic fame is TO
try something easier than a heavy
tragedy in which so v ny few profes-
| SIGNALS have been successful. FL pre-
dict that these amateurs will be SO dis
| gus,ed with themselves If they attempt
10 play Richard Ill, Pa the organ
! ization will at once dissolve amid wordy
Byrotechnics. But advice isa thrown
away here, foe'thc egoIism that pre-
neales the soul Of the Carsonite whose
lips have just been moistened at the
dangerous fountain, is at once sub.
timely ridiculou, and refreshing.
Apropos. it appears after all that
Warden Bells re election is a surer
thing than the election Of any Of his
l,competi,ors to the State Prison Warden
ship. 1t is mooted that he will convert
about $4,000 of the--appropriasion
made Two years ago Tor the support Of
his institution, into the SAFE Treasury,
thus demonstrating more PRACTICAL
