A NEW PAPER FOR CARSON.

Next week another newspaper
will be published liz this city, ard
its proprictors will call upon the
business men to contribute to its
support In most towns Of 1000
inhabitants, one paper is deemed
quite sufficient to advertise the
wares Of business men. but in this
city people are so divided upon the
smallest questions that each clique
must be represented bv an organ
1t is claimed by many people
that each new paper that starts
weakens the ones already in the
field This is mistake. There
are numbers ef people in this city
vino take no papers at all, and it IS
for these people that a new paper
Is to be established. The North
American right to have an organ
belongs to every citizen and If the
numerous organs of his own town
do not suit him he has right to
jump in and start an organ OF his
own.
The APPEAL which is the oldest
newspaper in the county, has seen
these papers bud, bloom, ripe. rot
and disappear just as fast as the
cliques that plant them take some
new within and start on some new
tack.
We have heard several loud pro-
tests against the starting of another
paper in this already press-ridien
community. hut we fail to see why
there should be any complaint. \
man has as much right to start
paper as to open grocery store or
barber shop. The APPEAL would
like to see a paper started on every
block IN the city until everybody
had an organ.
There are several people in Car
son when they walk down the streets
in the morning feel sorry that they
have no newspaper in which they
can air grievances. These people
by all means should have their
newspaper rattle and play with it
while the mood lasts them.

The Occasional gives detailed
account Of the coalition made two
wears ago between Democrats and
Republicans by which Fair was to
give Jones his support at that time
to get Jones this year. The AP-
PEAL pointed out this business at
the time. We do not think. how
ever, that Jones is so fixed this
year that he can deliver the goods
with any certainty.

Some Of the old shell-back Dolly
Vardens insist on saying that the
Republican party Of Ormsby want
to keep the Chinese servautsin this
county, and that this is the reason
why they (thes. b. ID. vs. )proposeto
vote the Democratic ticket. These
men seem to forget that the
Democratic party stuck to its
100000 slaves until it was
thrashed out of it boots and had

1t is now asserted that Miss
Cleveland's novel which has
created such a peculiar sensation
in social semi-literary circles, was
never written by the Presidents

work, however, seems to show that
she admires it.

The recent election IN Groa

The recent election in Great
Britain resulted in popular ma
iority Of 272,SS2 for the Un;onists.
This is not SO much of a defeat for
Gladstone, after all. Under our
electoral system a party might
carry Presidential election in
spite Of such adverse majority of
the popular vote.

1T seems Ike a pity to shatter a belief

the story Of its vanity
1t is true that when the peacock
hoists his tail and struts around it looks
as if he was trying to show off, and all
the women folks say Just look at the
vain thing The truth is that the pea
cock rarely, if ever exhibits his magnif-
cent tail except when courtimg. A male
pigeon swclls out his chest aud raises his
neck-feathers, while barnyard rooster
seeks for dainty morsels for the hens and
clucks complimentary clucks. The pea
cock takes different style, that's all.

Crime Waves.

Sometimes a great wave of crime passes
over the land. This was the case about
the wear 1850 when there was a general
epidemic of burglaries. For some time
the Annual Register devoted a special
paragraph in its index to burglarieS, an
unpleasant feature which has now happily
disappeared. 1t began with a burglary
and murder at Frimley, where one Mr.
Hollcst, an elderly clergyman, was cruel
" killed. He was awakened in the night
and saw two figures, with their faces Gov
cred with Grape, standing at the bottom
of the bed. He at first thought it was
his two sons indulging in practical joke
and he rebuked them for their untmely
and unreasonable conduct He was soon
undeccived, and while he was offering a
gallant resistance he was wounded by
of the burglars. 1t is remarkable that IN
the excitement of the time, and for some
hours afterward, he did not even feel the
wound But when the surgeon came to
examine it he perceived that it soon must
prove fatal. Two men were executed loI
the crime. One man, who was accepted
as approyer, was a man who had beer
the loudcst in proclaming his innocence
before the magistrates and the most sAll
full in cross-examining the witnesses
The effect Of his evidence was to impl
cate other men, including one who ha'
been acquitted of the Frimley murder, u
other burgarics, and broke up gam
which had been the terror Of Surrey an
Sussex. Az tie Year Rouad.

Like the light clouds on summers dav.
Only boy.
Only loving and trusting heart
That throbs and strains for long life's

That Yields in love to the gentle touch
OF one who will ehde not overmueh.
Only boy,
Only an earnest and longing soul
Through which wild fancies and wishes roll,
Peering from out those eager eyes
Az the untried world that around them lies.
Only a boy:
Only the germ Of some unknown gain
To a world that wavers twix joy and pain,
Tell me of better gift who can,
To give to the world than an honest man.
Only boy,
Only man with a sadiened face,
Bearing Of grief and sin the trace,
Craving love that might cleanse the stain
Of the old thoughts that will come again
Only a boy
Only spirit that scars at last

Hardened, but faithful saddened, but true,

the question. Where is my Rita. You
have taken her from me-my beautiful
cAild. Mr. Clark was 50 astonishcd for
moment that he could not speak.
After recovering somewhat from his
surprise, he endcavored to question her
but could get no ineligible answer. and
after some little delay left tue asylum.
The interview, however prcycd on his
mind, and ON his return home he commu-
nicated to his wife the strange interview
She, with womans quick perception, at
once jumped to a conclusion. which sue
ceeding events proved to be correct. It
was finally arranged between them that
Rita should be taken with them to the
asylum and Mrs. Clark's theory tested.
Accordingly on the prctcnse. Of an excur-
sion the three took the train one day and
arriving at Pueblo proceeded at once to
the asylum. After a slight delay they
were shown into the crazy woman's room.
Al first She did not see the girl, then in
looking at her visitors She suddenly dis
covered her and with a cry that was
hardly human in its intensity She throw
herself upon her screaming: Rita, my
Rtaw hugging and kissing her and
crying at the same time, the tears, proba-
bly, the first shed for years, rolling her
checks. The frightened girl endeavored
at first to disengage herself but at re-
assuring sign from Mrs Clark submitted

With considerable difficulty they tore
themselves away from her, and. making
a solemn promise to return the next day,
they departed On the following morn

presence, she seemed only to see Rita,
who, having been instructed by her fos-

Feeling satisfied that her suspicious were

which frequent visits were made to-the

qsfle wrole cruel history was told by her,

was easily secured, the Clarks agreeing to
care for her, and she was taken to the
pleasant Denver home, where she entirely

The King ot Bavaria keeps carefully

doings than any of the visible monarchs
Of Europe King Ludwg's latest &c
centricity is remarkable even for him;

b MS sofTfary walks in the BavaTlan
Alps he encountered an amiable OK,
which barred the way and refused to
allow his ma ,esty to pass. Fora bovine
subject to make himself so unpleasansly
conspicuous was not to be endured
wherefore the king seized a pank
which happened to be at hand, and
placing himself in position of attack,
as with bayonet, he prepared to charge.
Then. Of course, the surly OK sheered
oil and allowed the King TO pass, and he
was so pleased with his own exploit that
he had himself photographed in the at
titude Of charging.
