a SAD Case.

James L. Durant. the carrier of
the Enterprise, has finally gone
crazy, and the loss of his reason
draws forth the following kindly
notice from the journal:
For more than twenty years
poor Jimmy has toiled in the heat
Of Summer and the biting blasts OF
Winter, packing the morning paper
along the mountain sides, through
the streets Of the city and down
every rocky little canyon where a
reader could be found. No man in
Nevada has faced greater hardship
or fought it longer or more bravely.
He deserves better fate.
1t is also humiliating to reflect
that enough money was owing him
from thousands of people whom he
has served to have made him indie
pendent years ago and perhaps have
averted the calamity which has just
overtaken him.

Tom Hood punning list of APP

Guided "A Cursory History Of
Swearing A work with that title
is now announced in London. It
is quaint, scholarly little volume,
and it is authority for the asser-
ton that when man says Il don t
care a DAM he is not swearing at
all. but merely quoting the Duke
Of Wellington, who invented the
expression and introduced its use.
It appears that there used to be a
coin in India of infinite small
value. called dam, and that is
what the man ''doesn care. SO,
too, according to the author of the
book, the phrase, Don't care a
a curse" is not at all what it APP
pears to be-namely, a milder form
of the Iron Dukes oath, but mere
ly the equivalent Of Don't care a
cress' the word curse" being an
old form Of ''cress.'
When we read this book the sad
reflection comes over US that the
time we have put in heaping what
we supposed was good reliable pro
family upon delinquent subscribers
and dead beat advertisers, was not
swearing at all. but a mere monkey

A NEW COMPET1SG

Railroad.


Railroad.
A contract has been let to J. w
Smith, of Oakland, CAL. to build and
equip $50 miles of railroad running
East from Oakland for So, 600, 600
The Oakland Times speaking Of
this new road, which will give Ne
yada the benefit of competition.
| says:
Over FIVE miles Of track, begin
ming at the Bay, in Oakland, have
been laid, and during next month
Mr.. Smith, will resume track-lay-
ing and believes that he will have
the road built and equipped to
Walnut Creek-a distance of thir-
ty-fve miles-t this Summer. The
road will yass through much of the
richest agricultural and fruit lands
of California and will open up the
mining belt in Tuolumne and Mono
counties, besides giving access to
the pine forests Of the Sierra Ne
vada mountains. The route chosen
is through Alameda and Contra
Costa counties, along the Live err
more Valley, through San Joaquin
and Stanislaus counties, thence into
Tuolumne county. Then after
passing Bodie and crossing the
Sierra, the road will be extended
eastward through Nevada, Utah
and Wyoming to Denver.
Mr.. Smith informed the reporter
that it was the intention of the
company to construct suitable
wharves and piers and establish
steam ferry between San Francisco
and the terminal point Of the road
in this city, during this Summer
He remarked that he had been re-
peatedly asked if the public were
expected to contribute to the build
ing of the road, and had always re
piled that although the people of
San Francisco, Oakland and Berke-
ley could well afford to donate
money enough to construct it en-
tire, it was not the intention of the
company to ask for donations or to
sell the stock below its face value
on small payments, as had been
done by the so-called People $ Rail:

that limited amount of the bonds

:" Baron Rudolph"

The Opera House was well filled
last evening to witness Mr.. George
S. Knight as Baron Rudolph"
He enacts the role Of tramp in a
studious, painstaking style, and in
PRODUCES a hundred and one little
clever bits Of acting which are very
realistic and would anywhere be
well appreciated. Mrs. Knight as
the Widow Eastwood is full of
life and vivacity, and her acting,
dressing and singing placed the
audience upon the most amiable
terms with her. Her dressing was
something which approaches, if not
actually reaches the gorgeous. and
something which is well calculated
to cause fresh raid upon the
millinery shops. The piece was
carefully mounted and the princi-
pals were well supported. Mr..
Knight claims to be the only actor
in German dialect who has mastered
the various idiosyncrasies Of speech
which are adopted by Germans
from different parts of the Father
land, and we believe that he can
substantiate the claim. Tonight
Otto " will be given.

The Postal Telegraph Bill.

WASHINGTON. May 12.-Now
that tho Tariff bill is out of the
way, there will be an effort to take
up the Postal Telegraph bill. The
bill as reported from the committee
| authorizes the Postmaster-General
| to advertise for bids for postal SER
vice by telegraph and accept the
lowest. It is believed that the
maximum rates under this will not
exceed on an average one-fourth of
the present rates. In maturing
the bill three objects have been
kept steadily in view; First, cheap
telegraphy, for the whole country
at the earliest possible moment;
second, to avoid extension Of the
Executive patronage and to secure
the United States against any re-
sponsibility and people against all
espionage Of any character over
telegraphic business; third, to
make the system not only self
sustaining, but a source OF revenue
to the Government. The first sec
ton of the bill makes all post
Offices in places where there Is
telegraph service postal telegraph
Offices; the second section fixes
maximum rates for messages OF
given length for specified distances
and provides for the method Of de;
livering messages; the third see
ton fixes the maximum rates that
may be charged newspapers and
commercial news organizations.
The fourth section provides for
the preparation and sale of tele-
graph stamps and stamped paper
of suitable denominations, and ex-
tends the criminal laws for the
protection of the postal system to
the the telegraph system of the
company contracting under the
Act. The fifth section provides
for adapting a moneyorder system
to the telegraphic system when
ever practicable. The sixth sec
ton provides that the Government
shall furnish Gin all postotfices
where the telegraph system is en-
ployed) office-room for employees
and the instruments and batteries
necessary for the performance Of
the service. The seventh section
provides for the consideration to be
paid the company.

(Communicated.)

Those who were not present al
the concert at the Methodist church
on Sunday evening last, missed one
of the choicest musical treats with
which Carson has ever been favored
The quartette consisted of Messes
Nellie and Fannie Parkinson and
Messrs. Edison and Hatch. Mrs
Dorsey rendered such exquisite
music that it seemed entirely be-
yond the capacity of a church organ
to produce such harmonious strains
Without making any invidious dis
tinction it is not too much to say
that the singing of Miss Nellie Par
kinson was all that could be desired;
and her voice was marvel Of sweet
ness, compass, meditation and cul-
tivation. Many prima donnas have
now worldwide regulations with
less claim to artistic merit. Had
the young lady been a stranger,
with foreign name, her singing
would already have made her the
" female - lion of the day. Merit
should be recognized at home as
we'll as abroad, and the success of a
person gives fame to the place Of
his or her residence. Miss Fannie
Parkinson sang sweetly, as she
always does. Ben Edsons solo
was splendidly rendered, and had
it been in a theater would have
surely been encored. His deep,
pure bass voice always always
awakes the echoes of sweet har-
mony. Mr.. Hatch sings as he
always does, and his sweet tenor
voice has been heard too often and
admired too much to need any COM
mendation at this late day. 1t was
a rare musical treat and much en-
joyed by those present. The reel
tations were very good, but the
musical treat took away all zest for
anything else.

A Plumber Outwitted.

It is very seldom a plumber gets
left but occasionally they meet
their match. The other day one OF
them was at work in a Carson resi-
dence when the lady Of the house
remarkably pretty woman said
Say, I want you to put on my
hose"
The plumber laid down his tools
and replied.
We'll, by jingo, I'll do it, and il
won t cost you cent.
All right, III be out in min
ute" And pretty soon she came
back with her husband who re
marked. Here are the couplings.
The plumber scratched his head
a moment but attended to the job
and when he brought in his bill
next day Of IS for fixing the hose
she reminded him, with merry
twinkle in her eye, that he had
agreed to do it for nothing. Then
he scratched his head again and
crossed the item out. He was
telling his mishap half an hour
later to friend and closed by say
ing
BY thunder, | thought she
wanted me to put on her stock

He says he belives that this is
the first time he ever got beat out
