In that small plot of land are the graves of my

my two brothers-Wiiliam, who died in child
hood, and Benjamin-and of her who was my
precious wife from the year 1889 to the year
1S4l, and OF her who, from the year 1S47 to
year 1870, was the life and comfort of my home

Names of Cigars.

From the brunswick (Ga) Times
"What people don't know about the various
names applied to cigars would fill book"
said a Newcastle street cigar dealer yesterday
morning. ~ have heard men laud Perfectos
to the skies, as though the word perfectos was
a name or a quality name. Again have heard
man assert that Perfecto was not Perfecto
because it was altogether different in flavor
from Perfecto he smoked some time before
How absurd he was will be plain to you if you
understand properly the signiication of cigar
names. The word perfectos is used to desig-
nate the peculiar shape Of such cigars. Work.
men get more for making them than
for making others, as it is not so
easy to roll the material into the per-
fecto shape. For this reason Perfecto would
necessarily cost more than q cigar of the same
material but less difficult to make But as far
as the word goes IL is used only to indicate the
shape Of the cigar. Besides words used to
designate the shape we have words which refer
to size. Such words are finas, grandes. OF the
terms applied to shapes. may cite Trabucos,
Londres, Conchas, Reina Victorias, Pantatelas
Regalias-these words being plurals. The
language, you see, is Spanish, and the names
were first applied by the Cubans. Words which
indicate size and shape are Infantes applied to
tiny cigars; Princesses and Elegantes. Com
binations OF size and shape names give such
names as Conchas Finas. Conchas Speciales
Londres 0randes, so that in two words you
have the shape and size indicated.

Propriety in New England.
From the Philadelphia Press

There is no place where more eccentric ideas
Of propriety are found than in New England.
Take bathing as an illustration. At Crescent
Beach and other popular resorts in the neigh
borhood Of Boston on any fine summer day you
will find plenty Of female excursionists who
are their own lighthouses, 80 to speak. That
is to say, these fair but economical creatures
bring long waterproofs with them, and putting
them on, disrobe unobtrusively beneath them
on the open beach. Beneath their ordinary
clothing they usually wear their bathing suits
down to the shore and are finally seen to emerge
from the protecting mackintoshes fully equipped
for plunge into the ocean. When they come
out they put on the mackintoshes again, drop
the wet garments beneath them, and having
reassued in like manner their everyday garb,
become once more visible

Strong Resolutions Receied.

st. Louis, Nov. 27.-At the Sill
yer Convention this morning Dele.
gate Morse OF Colorado introduced
the following.
Resolved, That Senators and
Representatives in Congress are
hereby requested to establish a
unit for the coinage of silver with
the South American States that
shall make silver coin pass current
on par with gold in All Americas OF
the Western Hemisphere; that
they also be requested to open ne
gotiations with the Congress of AL
Americas, now in session, for the
building Of q railroad from the
United States and through the
States of South America.
The following resolution was Of
fered by Representative Jacks of
California. 1t was received with
cheers and referred under the rule ::
WHEREAS, Wall street and East
ern bondholders are now actually
ut work striving to elect Speaker
for the approaching Congress whose
record is entirely opposed to the
silver interests; Whereas, Repre-
sentatives in Congress should be
servants of the people; Whereas,
This great Convention shows the
unanimity OF pablo opinion in the
Western and Southern States and
Territories in favor of more coinage
of silver; therefore be it
Resolred. that the Western and
Southern Representatives in Con-
gress be requested to support some
friend of silver for the Speakership
of the present House OF Representa-
tives, and that their failure to do
so will be betrayal OF the people
warranting their political death.

THANKSGIVING.

Today the majority of the people
OF the United States. Carson in
cluded will fill themselves up with
turkey, cranberry sauce and wine
and otherwise enjoy themselves.
The people of this State have
about as many reasons for being
thankful as any other State in the
Union.
The Mint is coming, silver ia adj
vancing and there is no legislature
IN session.
The croakers are talking things
down and looking solemn, but the
croakers do not run Nevada any
more.
We have big irrigation schemes
afoot, our mines are yielding well
and our cattle and agricultural in
dustry is holding its own.
A man who has lived in this
State and enjoyed nothing but the
climate has much more to be thank
full than had he lived in the East
and been worth million.
There is better outlook for US
this year than last and since that
time Carson real estate has advanced
about twenty per cent.
With a good health, a mild Win
ter and clear conscience, any man
can be thankful.
The APPEAL is also glad to an
ncunce that the poor of this city
have been amply provided with
turkeys and wood to roast them
with by private charity.
The names OF the donors are not |
mentioned here as they are persons
who give for the sake OF giving and
net for the sake OF publicly psrading
their generosity.
There will be no APPEAL issued
from this office tomorrow.
