The wretch confessed that he was the masked
highwayman who had stolen the bag of
guincas. Riding by a nearer way than was
known to the traveller, he had reached the
inn first. There he found a person in trade
waiting by appointment for the settlement Of
a bill. Not having enough money OF his own
about him TO pay the whole amount, Brunell
had made use OF one Of the stolen guneas, and
had only heard the traveller declare that his
money was marked after the tradesman had
left the house. To ask for the return of the
fatal guinea was more than he dared TO at

Col. Shaw's Lecture.

The forthcoming lecture, by Col
Shaw, ought to be a big success
just now there is great deal oil
interest being manifested in the
war, and all its historical memories
are being revived. The anger and
hard feeling of the conflict is oyer,
and now the survivors and their
descendants are anxious to learn
something Of the details.
The magazines are publishing
some splendid accounts Of the
great land and naval battles, and
these accounts are being read al
most with as much avidity as we're
the newspaper reports Of these
same battles the morning after the
event.
Col. Shaw, who served as a pri-
vate, and afterwards a commits
stoned officer, lectures with col
lossal map of the field of opera
tons. and his theme covers the
ground from Fort Sumpter to APP
pOmattox.
When an actual participant of
the scenes goes over the ground
with an audience and explains the
operations, it is sure to give a much
clearer idea to the listeners and OBJ
servers than any printed account.
Interspersed with the lecture will
be military music played by full
band. This, along with the map
and descriptions, will come the
martial music that stirred the blood
of the soldiers at Bull Run and
Shiloh, and the songs they sang
when when they entered Richmond
will be come up again.
The whole idea is a good one,
and will prove a money-making
proposition to its originator.
Col. Shaw will lecture in this
city before long. He delivered his
first lecture last evening in Vir-
ginia City to crowded house.

stewards Pamphlet.

The APPEAL is in receipt OF Sen
at0r Stewards Anti-Chincse Pam
phlet. Some months ago this Of
flee received u silver pamphlet from
Senator Stewart as did also the
rest of the Nevada papers. Tn.
work was not very thoroughly re
viewed from the fact that it was
printed in a San Francisco print
ing establishment and the Nevada
papers naturally agreed that the
work being San Francisco pro-
duct it should look to the Califor-
Mia press for its reviewing The
APPEAL believed in this doctrine
as it proposes to back the home
industry, and the home patronage
proposition to the utmost limit in
this State.
The Anti Chiuese pamphlet was
printed at the Reno Gazette Office
aud being Nevada product set up
by Nevada printers it comes within
the proper sage-brush scope. The
Senator disauisition against the
evils of Chinese labor, is an eX
haustive and able document and
handles the entire question with a
Dread and powerful scope. The
Senator stands square and strong on
the antl-Chlnese proposition and
gives Nevada the benefit OF an ar
gument that no prot Chinese logic
can refute.
The APPEAL hopes that the Sen
ator will incuicate his ideas into
the minds of some of the ex-leaders
Of the Republican party in Ormsby
county and see to it that they are
filled with the true gospel of right
eousness that they may tread the
right paths. They now grope in
error and like the heather in his
blindness bow down to the Pagan
idol.
The work should also be read by
everybody whether pro or anti-Chi
nese that those convinced of the
error of Coolie labor may be
strengthened in their belief and
that those who believe not, may be
convinced. The APPEAL hopes to
see the day come when the Senator
will say to his pro- Chinese friends
that they must fall in line, on the
right side or quit, bidding them be
gone something after the language
of Shakspear: Il love thee, but
never more be servitor Of mine.
