Tickle Grass.

In a week or so the tickle grass
will be getting in its work here in
Carson. The grass was imported
here some years ago by some luna
tic who thought it was ornamental.
1t is fair to look upon before it
heads after which hell is nowhere.
When you see a woman walking
along the street in about week or
ten days, looking as if she wanted
to cannibalize somebody, you may
bet high that her stockings are full
of tickle grass. The fine rains this
season has been just the business
for tickle grass, and the crop this
year will be far ahead Of any pre-
vious yield. If the Sheriff would
set the prisoners in the county jail
moving down the grass it would
save the taxpayers great annoyance.
There is about week left to work

Sunday Concerts.

New YORK, July 19th.-The
Herald says: The number and the
energy of the protests made yester.
day from all classes of the people
against the attempt of the Sabbath
Committee to stop Sunday concerts
in the Park evidently surprised the
committee. They could not say
what action the committee could
take against the decision of
Gen. Veile, one of the Park Com
missioners, who is not in favor of
the concerts. He says: The Ger
man papers, l see, are exulting over
the first step in breaking down the
odious American Sunday observ-
ances. We will soon be having the
Sunday scenes on the prater in Vi
emma and the Champs Elysees in
Paris repeated in Central Park,
which will then be nothing but
second Coney Island, under the
municipal patronage. Mark my
word, if the Anglo American idea
of Sunday keeping and Sabbath is
done away with there is destroyed
the greatest safeguad against the
encroachments of capitalists and
monopolists upon the rights Of the
people. Manufacturing mills and
railroads will be run on Sundays
and the workmen will be compelled
to labor on that day as on the other
six days of the week"

New York, July ia Penn
sylvania paper in trying to create
a sensation out of our rotten IN
tel1igence methods, employed Mrs.
Eliza A. Conner, formerly writer
for the Cincinnati Commercial, to
visit doubtful Offices under the pre-
text of hiring girls for immoral pur-
poses, her adventures being re-
ported with startling headlines in
the Pennsylvania paper. The case
came into court this morning on
the complaint of the Mayors chief
clerk, who caused Rosa H. Under
hill, keeper Of an intelligence office
on Sixth avenue, to be arrested.
Mrs. Conner appeared as chief wit
ness and charged Mrs. Underhill
With agreeing to furnish two Eng
lish girls for immoral purposes.
The charge was denied by Mrs.
Uuderhill, who told different
story about the manner in which
she was approached by Mrs. Con-
ner. She said she went out for a
policeman and Mrs. Conner, sus-
pecting her purpose, left precip-
itately. The case looks like a
strained effort to create journal
istic sensation at the expense of
decency and excites considerable

Chinese Taflers and BARRIERS.

Chinese Tailors and BARRIERS.
New YORK, July 19.-The only
Chinese barber shop in New York
is on the top floor of No. II Mott
street. The barber rejoices in the
name of I'll Chow, and is in pos
session of lucrative business. At
No. 10 Pell street is the shop Of
Wing Lung, tailor and draper. He
has long had the monopoly Of sup
plying the almond-eyed heather
with his blouses, pctticoats and
trousers, and has amassed a COM
potency. He is a shrewd fellow,
and to prevent competition, has in
variably refused to take apprentices,
no matter how large bonus. Ow-
ing to the high price Of the orly
Chinese tailor, among population
of some 1900 of the race, nothing
but expensive wearing apparel is
made by him. The Chinese tailor
in his native land is paid at the
rate of thirty cents per day, that
being the highest wages paid for
manual or skilled labor. Wing
Lung gets here at the rate OF ST.
per day for nice work.

The harvest dance is just
what is needed to liven up ag-
riculture in Nevada. No State
ever became thoroughly agricultu-
raj without the harvest dance has
been introduced. The ordinary
dances of the Eau Fait" and En-
tire Nous" parties may do for the
fashionable world, but your horny
listed farmer wants something more
exhilerating.
The writer we'll remembers the
harvest dance in old Nebraska.
He was induced to attend enc and
never attended another, as the
sport seemed too lively for a man of
retiring habits. It was two miles
from Milikin's Corners, near
Brownsville, and people came there
from a radius of ten miles. The
merry harvesters began to shuttle
over the boards about 8 o'clock and
at nine the affair livened up. An
Otoe county harvester was going
through the balance to the right"
figure, when Crete county rancher
hit him just under the ear and
knocked him into the next set.
The dance went on all the same,
however, for when the insensible
man was taken out and laid on the
grass to cool, wall-fower hard by
waltzed right into the set and
swung the girl, who embraced her
partner with a bewitching smile, as
if nothing had happened. After
the set another lot Of corn juice was
circulated and a couple of men
we're thrown through . window.
Two wall-aowers, however, were on
deck Immediately and took the two
girls through the figures, and all
was as merry as a marriage bell.
At midnightsupper was announced,
and there being fewer women
then men something had to be done.
1t was done at once. Five men

dragged out, and all done in an or.
derby and quite way. While there
were fights here and there, there
was no general row and the COM
pany, as rule, were well behaved.
Just as the writer was escorting
a plump Gage county girl to the
table a two hundred pound har-
vester leaped toward him and
threw his right arm back with a
crank and lever motion. It looked

coming our way, when the fiddler
laid his hand on the harvester's
arm and said:
Hold on, the sexes are even;
you'll linda girl over there"
The man lowered his battering
ram, and allowed the writer to live
on.
It is the rule 1T harvest dances
that when there are a dozen or so
more men than women, the surplus
men are Knocked out and sent to the
rear after they have had a dance or
two. The harvester who was ad-
vancing upon our head gear, had
made a miscount and overlooked
the fact that there was no neces-
sity, under the rules, of crushing
another man. These were the
blithe and merry harvest dances
Of Nebraska, celebrating the reap
ing of the golden grain and the
garnering of surplus men, and Ne
vada will never be looked upon as
an agricultural district of the first
class until she gives the harvest
dance fair trial.
