Sunday morning last, at nine, Dan McGinty
dressed so fine,
When along came Pat McCann-and says;

On his back he got poor Dan-to climb the ladder
Until he 'dvery nearly reached the top:
But for fear he'd lose his hve-just as sure as
Dan let 20 % lis hold, not thinking Of the drop!
CHORUS.
Down went McGlnty to the bottom Of the

Although he won his five, he was more dead

with kicks and bruises on his face from such a
fearful fall
Dressed in his best sunday clothes.

But McGinty gave the doctors surprise
For he soon began TO shout: SAY, ye black
guards let me out!m
Though his head was twice its ordinary size
Bound to see his wife and child, with delight ne
Ne wall walked f| along m as proud as John, the
Great;
In the sidewalk was a hole to receive load Of
coal
McGinty never saw until too latei
CHORUS.
Down went McGinty to the bottom of the

The driver Of the cart gave the load Of coal

II took an honr n half TO dig MeGinty from
the coal,
Dressed IN his best Sunday clothes.
When they dug McGinty out, loud for ven

And the driver Of the cart he then did spy
II picked up half brick and he hit aim such
lick
That ii caused tumefaotion OF his eye.
Then he kicked up such fuss that the cope got

They arrested Dan for being very drunk;
And .,ext morn the judge did say mo fine

But six months you'll sleep upon prison

A Sad Death.

On Tuesday afternoon, Lulu,
the seven-year-old daughter of
Geo. W. Kitzmeyer, was taken ill
with typhoid pneumonia, and died
yesterday afternoon.
The child was only sick thirty
hours, and was stricken so heavily
with the disease that the physic-
ians gave up all hope a few hours
after she was taken i'll.
She was a favorite child, and
the sympathy of the community
is universal with the stricken
parents, whose Christmas cup has
thus been embittered by death.

At the Wrong Time.

Every year some actor reaches
this city about Christmas time and
gets very bad house. AS a rule
it is some excellent fellow who de-
serves better run of luck. This
time it was Mr.. Lindsay an actor
of splendid reputation and who
gives very conscientious, pains
taking performance.
He played Ingomar in splendid
shape to poor house Tuesday
night, giving as good a perform
ance as he would have given to
crowded house. This stamps him
as a man whom the public can de-
pend upon. He was to have
played Damon and Pythias last
evening but there being several
Christmas trees and a ball in the
city Mr.. Piper decided to postpone
it until next Monday night.
Mr.. Lindsay is a Knight of Pyth-
las in high standing, and Ormsby
Lodge No 4 is endeavoring to help
him in securing a good house to
witness the dramatic rendition of
an incident on which the Pythian
order was founded. His Damon
is his greatest character and
those who witness it will see a
magnificent piece of genuine act

ing.

The Oroville Mercury is respon-
sible for the following: A certain
young man in town has a pair oil
white mice, and when he goes
calling on the young ladies he has
a habit Of taking them with him
in his pocket-they are nice things
to play with He engages the
young lady in conversation and
when she is quite interested he
slips, unseen, one of the mice onto
the floor. OF course the young
man calls the young lady's atten-
ton to the mouse, and it being
we'll educated does the rest. In
this way the naughty fellow has
been able to judge the compare
tive size of the Orovile girls feet,
end he says they are as large as
these found anywhere.

SANTA CLAUS.
His Liking for Carson and its

Ever since the place was first
settled by the whites. Christmas
has been celebrated here With
great ecEat.
| When the old fellow is arrang
ing for his December tour he re-
marks:
"No matter what happens, 1
must take in Carson, even if I
have to leave out Virginia City
and Hawthorne. +"
This is why the cid fellow gen
orally strikes this town about IL
O'Clock, leaving the balance of the
world to be taken care of later, at
about three or four in the morn
ing.
People here make a practice of
| buying presents, no matter what
they cost.
AS long as some people can get
credit they buy even if it breaks
the dealer.
A Christmas gift-giving spirit
seems to pervade the air about
this time year.
About three days before Christ
mas the farmers come in and try
hard to sell turkeys at 20 cents a
pound. Nobody wants them.
The day before Christmas, how
ever, everybody livens up to the
idea that it is time to buy, and
then they raid the markets for
birds at 80 cents a pound.
BY that time the old farmers
have gone back to the country
Disguised, and then the Wells
Fargo company are beginning to
get the high-priced California
turkeys in, which are snapped up
like hot cakes on a frosty morn
ing.
There never was q time heard
Of when a Carsonite hesitated in
buying high-priced Christmas
presents. When a Carson man
starts in to celebrate he goes the
whole hog and calls for the pedi-
gree of the hog.
There never was a time that a
child in Carson had to go without
a present OF some kind.
Carson children are always well
provided for on Christmas, and
they don't require any newspaper |
relief fund.
The APPEAL regrets to say that |
considerable more drinking is
done to the memory of the birth
OF Christ, than is absolutely neces-
sary to preserve the ideas Of
Christianity in Ormsby county.
Egg Nog is made in too large
quantities here in days like these.
Ii the saloon keepers would mix
up a little of the stuff in a COM
mon punch bowl instead Of manu-
'acturing it in the family wash
tub, the town would be Just as
we'll off in the morning.
On one or two occasions we
nave know men to try to break
'he egg.no cornor, but never
seemed to make much Roadway.
Some people think that the ,
thinking Of egg-nog is all there is
n Christmas, and sometimes this
dea clings to them several DAYS
Afterwards.
This is a day for everybody to
lrown their feelings Of sorrow,
bride, anomosity etc, and take on ;
peace-on earth good-will-to men :
ceiling for the balance of the
week.
In another year there will be
smother Christmas and the same
dea can be again carried out pro-
'ably with different people. :

,aper tomorrow.
