THE BROWNS.

The following article appeared in
the Hopkinsville Mercury, of Octo-
Der, 1858:
"A remarkable exhibition took
place in our amphitheatre on the last
day of the fair; one perhaps never be-
fore witnessed at any fair in the I'M
ion, and which would have been a
noticeable feature at any exhibition
in the wOrld.--Ten brothers named
Brown, all fine looking fellows, with
a strongly marked family likeness,
with long flowing boards, dressed in
similar apparel, and mounted OH ten
superb gray chargers, which they
rode in splendid style, entered the
amphiLheatre and dashed around the
arena as gracefully and as fearlessly
as a cayalcadc of Bedouins chasing a
flying foe over the desert. They
twined and entertained in every va
riety Of graceful ovolutions. Now in
heightened line, now whirling in in
tersecting circles, now laundering all
abreast in one unbroken line, who's,
front seemed as impregnable as II
Macedonian phalanx, and whose aG-
vance was as steady and as imposing
as an approaching billow Of the
ocean. The excitement was intense,
unbounded and universal, and the
spectators chccred long and loudly,
while showers of bouquets rained
from the hands of beauty on tie
gallant horsemcn.
At the call of the marshal, they
refined up in the presence Of theirven-
cradle mother, who was looking with
tears of joy and pride on her array
of gallant SONS, and, on behalf of the
association, Maj. n. L. Gray present
ed her with silver goblet, accom-
panied by some very beautiful, touch
ing and appropriate remarks. The
eldest Brown is aged forty, the young
est, twenty years. Their names are
Andrew Julien, Absalom, Gravenor
S, Augustus w., Robert s., William,
John A. f., Thomas f., Robert s.,
and Milton d. All but three live in
this county, and all but one in this
State. They are all farmers and
traders and steady, thrifty, respecta-
BILE men. That day was the fret
time for fifteen years since thay had
all met, and an affecting meeting il
was, both to them and all who beheld
it:
when, soon or late, they reach that coat,

THE PRESENT LEGISLATURES

For many years past the people
of Nevada have been somewhat
accustomed to see their Legislature
roundly abused by the press. There
can be no question regarding the
pro priety of this abuse in several
well-remembered instances.
The present Legislature has been
alluded to as a rather quiet, stupid
crowd, by good many people who
are too thoughtless to investigate.
We do not believe a better select
ed material as a whole, was eyer
gathered in this State. It is doing
more actual work and making less
windy display over it than any pre-
vious Legislature ever assembled.
1t should be born in mind that
the best representative of the peo-
pie is not always the man who in
dulges in the most noise and dis
play on the floor.
There is but little time now wasted
in speaking and those who have
had anything to say, present the
matter briefly and to the point and
sit down.
The public often stamp as non
entity many a long headed man
who does quiet and effective work
for the taxpayers in the recesscs OF
q committee room and goes back
home to find that some windy
mouther is rcaping all the credit
from his county.
Again the work Of a Legislative
body cannot be estimated in the
numbers Of bills passed. 1t is of
ten better measure by the amount
of bills shelved. and in picking out
of the general rubbish that which
fills pablic rsluir-n.lts.
We believe til It. ~: general rule
the legislative session which pro
produces the least wrangling and
oratorv is the one least troubled
with suspicious Of jobbery and the
turning of the wheels of legislation
from private interest. We believe
that when their body adjourns, the
taxpayers, who carefully investi-
gate the work, will be satisfied with
their selection of material they
made last Fall, and those connected
with the session If 1885 will stand
q pretty COOL show Of being back
in their seats in 1887.
