3. III. IBarrett's New United Mon.
ster Railroad Shows.

This grandest and best of all
shows will exhibit at Carson City
on June 23rd, and promises to be
the greatest exhibition of its col
lossal kind ever given, and with a
grand galaxy of 200 famous stars,
lead by Mr.. James Robinson, the
Hero Bareback Horseman of the
the Earth, who has come forth
from retirement this year as a final
farewell to the arena, leaving lux
ury and excellence, under a salary
equalling princes ransom. While
we, as journalists, are not in the
habit of bestowing praise on shows
or exhibitions of any class, yet in
this instance VIC feel it incumbent
upon us to diverge upon our estab
lished rule and speak of the merits
Of S, H. Barrett's tented wonders.
This we do injustice, and in the
same feeling which always prompts
us to do the right-to laud the de-
serving and to expose the unworthy.
We know that in this instance we
speak of management that con-
ducts the largest show in the United
States in a manner so as to please
the most fastidious of either sex.
and to surprise the most stoical.
The great collection Of worl d S
wonders which this show brings
with it stands unrivaled in the his
tory of the show world. Its menag-
erie for instance, contains count
less cages of wild animals; its Mu-
scum world of Lying curiosities;
its ayiary has a most stupendcus
collection Of birds; its elevated
stage whole troupes Of frst-class
performers. In word, there are
more birds, beasts and reptiles
mammoth and mite) than are to
be found in any ten shows in the
world. Their arenic exercises, in
which 200 star performers take
part, is the climax of astounding
perfection. We repeat that, as a
whole, it is unequaled in the world.
No one can afford to miss it. It
will be here, remember, on
Tuesday, June %.

Reader.

The Plea ure of following Coed
Reader.
| A book which one picks up to
read for the first time is never SO
much enjoyed as one that has been
well worn, and tLumbed and Scared
all over with pencilings on the
margin by some previous reader.
A man who really enjoys books
takes no thought of the whiteness
of the page, or of the costliness Of
the binding, his eye is for the print
alone, and as he digests the matter
he records his ideas and conclusions
upon the margin with a pencil. 1t
has been our fortune to come across
a good many such books, where a
bright passage is underscored, q
clever thing encircled in. dashes
crescent moons. or a heavy line
marked down along side, together
with ordinations, criticisms and
remarks which throw new light on
every page.
\ keen witted, critical reader
who takes the pains to leave the
trail Of his brains over book de-
serves the thanks of all the dull
fellows who follow him, Every
dash Of his pencil is like a guide
board III some new country, point
ing the way to places which 4 rapid
and unobservant tourist might over
look. 1t has often occurred to us
that Q book publishing firm might
introduce a pleasing novelty in the
book trade, by printing book with
marginal notes by some clever
reader. giving his ideas Of what be
read. also good things underlined,
and striking passages marked so as
to attract attention. In the hurry
and rush Of business few men have
the leisure time to sit down and
thoroughly digest a book, but if
they could skim along and only
take in the good things, and pass
by the wearying and unintcrestins
passages, they would be willing to
pay double price for such works.
If any publishing house will print
such book they will certainly not
lose money on it.

Murder aud suicide.

New BEDFORD, Mass, June g.
Philip D. Slocomb was shot and
killed instantly in his store today
by Charles Foss. The murderer
then stepped into back room and
killed himself with the same
weapon.
Foss was a confirmed drunkard,
and had applied to Slocomb to ship
him to Hudson's Bay, as he wanted
to die if he could not be cured of
his bad habit. Slocomb had not
yet procured him berth, and it is
thought this delay so enraged Foss
as to prompt the deed.
