The APPEAL feels safe in wishing
everybody. those who patronize the
APPEAL, and those who do not, a
very happy new year, and all that
it implies.
!. Everybody in Carson ought to
feel = little better of at the begin

ness in this city has certainly been
better than for some years before
real estate has advanced, and all
business men agree that their books
when submitted to their annual bal
ancing will make a better showing
On the credit side Of the ledger than
in 1886. -
The senseless political turmoil
which shook this county in 1886
was happily absent in 1887, and
everybody feels the beneficial eff
fects of the change. Carson is to-
day on solid business footing. and
there is no reason why each sue
ceeding year will not be better than
the last. All We need here is con-
cert of action and faith in our own
capacities and resources. -.

It is aston ishing 10 think how many miles oi road in the West and Northwest are liable to be showed up any day. The St. Paul road has over 2.00O miles of prairie road, the Northern Pacific nearly 1. 900. the Manitoba road 600, the Northwestern over l. 000 and the north and south roads, such as the Minneapolis 6 St Louis, are in con- stant danger.
 "The Northern Pacific trains in winter carry an immense chest in the baggage car solidly packed with food, that will last a snowed-in train for a week, and fuel enough, if used economically, to keep the passengers warm, but I have seen it so cold that a person would almost freeze and stand right over car stove. The coldest place for a train to be showed in at is between Mandan. Dak., and the Bad Lands, just east of the Little Missouri.

A FAMOUS WOMAN.
Miss Maria Mitchell, tho Astronome
 and Her areer.

Miss Maria Mitchell, tho Astronomer,
 and Her c areer.
 A New England bank cashier at tho beginning of the century thought there was something better for his girl than absorption in fashionable society and prospe cting for aa gligible husband; {; so he bought a tele-cope and other as- tronOmical insrun and fitted up modest observajOrr a his home. The daughter Maria N ohell, soon took an interest iu WI ing the panets and stars. and when she was eleven years old she made an accurate record of a lunar eclipse. That was nearly sixty years ago, and from that time until recently her business has been the study of astronomy, mathematical and observational. From the age of eighteen to thirty-eight she was the li- brarian of Nantucket, and during that time her n ghts were largely given 10 the telescope In 1S47 she discovered a comet and did the remarkable work of
 establishing it's orbit. for which she re- ceived the gold medal from the King of Denmark She was the first dis coverer of seven other comets, and when she went to Europe she was the honored guest of Sir John Herschel, Sir George Airy and other famous astronomers. When Vassar College was established in 1865 she was made the professor of astronomy. She did not marry because she believed that might interfere with her study of astronomy. She is now, at the age of seventy, still professor at Vassar, her resignation on account of age having been refused. She has received the degree of IL. D. from three different institutions, and is regarded with re. spect by the world of science.
 Her career has been. one to be proud of As worker in a department of science, her life has been useful to the world, and as teacher she has given inspiration for a prof table life to scores of young women. She would have been noble character under any conditions, but there is q little doubt that the foresight of her father in giving a bent 10 her mind is respon- sible for much of her success. Just as in the case ofDarwin. the almost acci- dental opportunity to go on the Beagle voyage was the foundation of his great work One of the purposes of a school is to give the young nina an opportu- nity to find the best work. but it is plain that this purpose is defeated. as a rule. Boys are forced by circum- stances into something, but girls are left to fall into the conventional life through lack of opportunity to deter mine on career. All girls are not fitted for astronomy, as, happily, Miss Mitchell was, but most are capable of more serious work than they ever do, if they were only given proper start. 1MiLOGuEse Sentinel.

 Really, it was too bad. E Igar was going out 10 play soldier H. slipped on the steps and twisted his ankle.
 My little lad must go to bed and get we'll" said Mamma Gates.
 "Boo-hoor' howled Eddy.
 Uncle Caspar looked up from his paper and smiled.
 T don't want to go to bed; want to go and be a soldier" sobbed poor Edgar.
 But, if your ankle is not bathed and put to bed, you will be very lame tomorrow"
 q don't care." whined Eddy; q don't want to go to bed.'
 T thought you were playing sol- dier." sail Uncle Caspar
 Yes, sirI'
 Well, what does soldier do?"
 Edgar looked up puzzled. He marches, and he drums" t" Eddy looked at his drum, and began to cry agaln.
 ''Is that all he does?"
 He don't have to go to bed. :" whined Eddy.
 But sometimes he gets hurt badly. He is shot in battle. Then what does he doP Does he howl and cry?"
 Now Uncle Caspar was an old sol- dier, whom E Idly admired very much.
 "No-o-o! guess not Idon't know" :" said the boy.
 No. He goes 10 inc hospital. There he is as brave as when he drums and marches.
 Edgar wiped his eyes. and looked eagerly at his uncle. ''Is going to bed and not crying being good soldier?' he asked.
 Yes. my boy, that's the bravest part of it. Now let me be the ambu- lance-thats a wagon, you know and take you to the hospital"
 Uncle Casper picked Eddy up in his arms. and carried him gently to his chamber.
 Now I'm going 10 be a good sol dier," said the boy, with smile. He did not vince when his uncle felt of the sore ankle, and bound it up.
 That's brave lad, Eddy" said his uncle. Now play it does not hurt, and go to sleep"
 Half an hour later Edgar was dreaming. He looked like brave little corporal taking his rest.
 Uncle Casper hung up Eddy's flag and gun where he could see them when he walked. The drum, with the soldier cap and belt upon it. was placed on the bed.
 Edgar limped down stairs the next day, and went into camp on the sofa. He whinel and complained no more. He had learned the lesson that a brave boy is patient in suffering. -C Bell. is Our Little Ones.

 We're going skating. Susie Barnes and l." said Mamie as she walked slowly through the house. But l don't know as I want to go."
 "Why Mamie! On such beautiful day." said her aunt. Il thought you liked to go skating"
 .'Yes, so l do," said Mamie, "but mamma says I've got to wear my old shoes and they're such clumsy old things I can't bear to-
 The whine in her voice became a growl before she had finished speak ing and somehow the growl seemed to have something to do with her fore head; for if was wrinkled before, it was fairly tied up into knot now.
 Have you ever noticed how, when little girls or boys get into bad tenn per, the bad temper seems to go all over them? The dancing feet move sullenly, the dimpled hands are not ready for doing little loving deeds for any body. The light goes out of the pretty bri ght eyes and the lips go down at the corners. and the dimples 70 dear! they surely go up into the forehead. for you have seen how it will be marked and scanned. never did like dimples in the forehead, did youP
 And the little ripple of laugh is gone, and what whine and whimper and growl have taken its place! Yes. you can easily see that the whole boy or girl is wrapped in that ugly tenn per.
 What a pity! thought Aunt Carrie, as Mamie sulked and fretted. First . it was because of the shoes, but she could not keep on all the time about one pair of shoes, so she soon found something else to grumble at
 .I wonder why Susie doesn't come. I think it's too bad of her to keep me waiting like this. We ought to have been off half an hour ago. The best part of the day is going.

A Baby's Adventure.

Some time ago an English lady who was living at Kingston. Jamaica, took passage on homeward-b vessel, taking her two months old infant with her. A large, strong, active monkey which was on board took a violent fancy for the child. The monkey would sit all day long watching the mother as she rocked and fondled her little one, and follow her from place to place. Several times the animal tried unsuccessfully to get the baby.
 One beautiful afternoon distant sail attracted the attention of all on board, and the captain politely of fered his glass to the lady. She placed her baby on the sofa, and had just raised the glass to her eyes. when a cry was heard. Turning quickly. she be- held sailor in pursuit of the monkey, which had grasped the infant firmly with one arm. and was nimbly climb ing the shrouds. The mother tainted as the animal reached the top of the mainmast.
 The captain was at ms Wlts enu- He feared if he sent sailor in pursuit the monkey would drop the baby, and escape by leaping from mast to mast. The child in the meanwhile was heard to cry, but the fear that the monkey was hurting it was dispeled by seeing the animal initiate the motions of the mother, dandling, soothing. and en. deavoring to hush it to sleep.
 After trying in many ways to lure the animal down. the captain finally ordered the men below, and concealed himself on the deck. In a moment tc his great joy. he saw the monkey care- fully descending. Reaching the deck. it looked cautiously around, advanced to the sofa, and placed the baby upon it.
 The captain restored the frightened infant to it's mother, who was soon sat. isfied that her darling had escaped in, jury. -Harper's Yo's'g Psoplf-

 Sweet Margery! Had the liquid tongues of soaring larks, Or cen a thrush's 1ft and sober flute, I'd join the birds that Phoebus bright salute, And hymn my Love, who at her lattice harks. She is the sun that brightest shines, to me

 So sure am she doth distain me not, Iris passing strange my passion neer was told. Yet am dumb when the rare face see

PARENTAL DISCIPLINE.
The Stern and Heroic Act of a Patriotic
 American Father.

American Father.
 In the light of modern devotion to liberty, one feels inclined to doubt whether rhe Spartan mother who counseled her son 10 return from bat tie "with his shield or upon it'' showed more heroism than many another patriot who may not attain to world wide fame. To cap her words there lies ready at hand the equally-stern act of an American father.
 During the Mexican war. a question arose whether a regiment of volun- teers. under General Johnston, should not disband before the end of their specified six months service unless they should re-enlist for further period. The matter was put to vote. and the majority being in favor of dis banding the regiment was at once broken up. Only few of the men re- enlisted in another regiment. Many of the soldiers who were thus relieved from serv- ice went home merely for short furlough, intending to return to the ranks after their energies had been re- cuperated by domestic life One of them, a brave but rather careless young man, the son of famous Texan patriot, sought his home with the rest.
 Full of joy at the sight of familiar ground, he was hastening from the beach at Galveston to his father S house. when he noticed the old gentle man regarding him from the front porch. When the young soldier had approached within speaking distance the father, in tones unexpectedly se- we're. ordered him to halt.
 "What are you doing here, sirp Your six months are not up"
 No. father; but the regiment has disbanded and the men have gone home I thought would come and see you, and then go back"
 Has General Johnston come home?"
 No, sir
 "Then go back. You can't come in here. "
 The son returned on a schooner, and was in time to join the army in it's at tack on Monterey. Kouth'S Compan- ion.
