specimen of humanity, and although he
has been doing business here in Winnie

his bow. He has associated himself

A Mea utifnl Robe.

Yesterday afternoon we dropped into
the dressmaking establishment of Miss
Nellie Benson, and while there she ex-
hibited to us beautiful piece of lady's
work. 1t was carriage robe, which,
during the long evenings of the present
Winter, she has employed her leisure
hours upon. This carriage robe is two
and half yards long and very near two
yards wide, and is manufactured in
what the ladies call "African crochet"
work. and is in stripes of red, blue and
green, with numberless Gala lilies
worked thereon, and bordered with a
heavy fringe. Taken altogether, it is a
splendid piece Of workmanship, and as
one looks at it and considers the innum-
cradle stitches it must have taken to
complete it, and the great amount of
patience the lady must have taken to
accomplish such work of art, it is re-
ally astonishing Miss Benson would
do fine thing to send that robe to the
New Orleans Exposition, and there
show the women of the broad domain
Of this great Union that in Humboldt
county, Nevada, We have artistic talent
of the first order; and, besides, we think
such a beautiful article would richly
merit first-class premium. You that
are curious, call at the store of MISC
Benson, and see this pretty piece of ar.
tistic worth.
