New York. Sept. PA Herald spec
ial from St. Domingo. on the 18th, says
the insurgents have been totally defea-
ted. Marcia has regained Dais, and
Monte Cristo has been retaken. A
schooner containing communications
has been captured. Luperon has led
to Hayti.
The strike progresses among the Crls-
nins in the various shops on Warren.
MURRAY and Chambers streets and Col
lere Place. where ladies shoes are prln-
clpallv manufactured. About two hun
bred men thus far are on strike. II Is
rumored that three or four shops have
acceded to the demands Of the workmen.
The men allege that during the past
eighteen months the employers have
from time to time cut down prices, until
there has been q reduction OF from hve
to eleven cents per pair. Employers
promised to resume old rates, but now
refuse.
Senator Morton is still in town, watch
ing the financial situation with great in
terest.
A Tribune reporter called upon him
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to inquire
whether he had received any intimatlon
of further action by the President. The
Senator said he was not authorized to
speak for the President, or say he was
prepared to do more than he had done
He had thought when he left town on
Sunday night that the remedy adopted
would prove sufficient. Ifhe should be-
come convinced that it was not enough,
and that the panic was increasing. the
Senator thought he would de whatever
he could within the law to restore conf
dence.
Reyertlv johnson was OF the opinion
that the President was not authorized
to take money from the Treasury to de-
posit it in national banks. There were
also doubts about the legality Of pur-
chasing bonds no. yet due. 1t was
therefore difficult to devise way OF re-
lievine Wall street with money from the
Treasury. The President would do all
he could, but was very DESTROYS OF keep
ing within the letter Of the law.
Reporter-What effect do You think
the excitement of to-day, and particu-
larly the failure of Henry Clews i Co.
will have on General Grant?
Senator Morton-The failure OF Henry
Clcws will hit him the hardest of any
thing. Poor Henry, am sorry for him.
Reporter see the President has re-
turned to Long Branch to-day. Do you
expect him to come over tomorrow and
look after matters for himself?
Senator M.-No. I doubt if he will
come. As soon as he gets here he is at
once surrounded by crowd OF self
constituted advisers, and think he can
decide what to do as well away as here,

NARROW GUAGB PLAYED OUT.

Under the above heading the Eu'
reka Sentinel says:
As We predicted in yesterdays Sen
tiael. the Elko and Hamilton Mar
row Gauge is bursted. The dis
patches sent broadcast over the coun-
try on the 14th inst, announcing
that active operations had been In
aucurated, were manufactured ont
of whole cloth. Not a lick was struck
and as a result the subsidies are for
feited. Mr.. Tenant, of this place,
who was in Elko on the 18th the
last day of grace, informs US that
nothing was done further than to
throw mp the whole proJect IN dis-
gust. Aids from Elko and White
Pine counties is now out OF the ques-
ton. The six months allowed under
the law in which to commence the
grading having passed, the counties
are no longer liable for single dol
lar. This, of course, etfectually hills
the enterprise. If the projectors OF
the road could not make start with
the bonds of the two counties to back
them, it is not very likely that they
will attempt to do anything with
their own private funds. We hope
the people of Elko are now satisfied.
They have kept this section OF the
State out q railroad for the last three
years, and should now retire. Elko
is not the proper point, anyhow, for
q railroad to the southwark. Eureka
would supply two-thirds OF all the
business for such road. Our COM
mercial relations are chiefly with
San Francisco. The direct route
connecting at Palisads, is the only
road that should ever be built for
the accommodation of the people OF
Eureka. 1t is but eighty miles in
direct line to Palisade. To the same
point, around by Elko and down the
Central, the distance. approximately,
is one hundred and thirty five miles
thus making a difference in favor OF
the direct line of fifty-tive miles.
! The extra cost of transportation over
these additional and unnecessary fifty
five miles of road, operating as per-
petual tax on the business OF Eureka.
is proposition that no man who has
the welfare or this locality at heart
| should entertain for 4 moment. The
direct line is what the true interests
of Eureka demands, and this we will
have sooner or later. Elko, stand
| aside !! Palisade, to the front!

CRAZY IN THE HILLs.-A man named
Price, employed as herder on Rich
am s ranch, Smith Creek, became sud
denly demented three days since. and
stripping of his clothes took to the hills.
He was at once pursued, and being seen,
an effort was made to capture him, but
it was found impossible to overtake him,
even with the aid of a feet horse. Par
ties are still in search of him, but as it
is now three days since he left, it is
thought he has persisted ere this. Price
is q man about Is years of age and Of
sober habits, and no cause can be as
signed for the sudden loss Of his reason.
Mr.. BRIGHAM is putting forth every effort
to find him, dead or alive, and men
mounted on fleet horses, arc now scour-
ing the hills in the prosecution OF the
search. We get these particulars from
Mr.. J. W. Frakes. who expresses no sur
prise at the occurrence, as he says
''sheep- herders always 60 crazy"

BETTER WHISTLE THAN WHINE.

AS was taking walk early in September
I noticed two little boys on their way to
school. The smaller one tumbled and fell,
and though he was not very much hurt, he
began to whine in a babyish way-not regu'
lar roaring boy cry, as though he were half
killed but a little, cross whine.
The older boy took his hand in kind and
fatherly way, and said:
ooh, never mind, Jimmy; don't whi'le it is
a great deal better to suhistle."
And he began in the merriest way, cheer,
full, boy-whistle.
Jimmy tried to join in the whistle.
81 can't whistle as nice as you, Charlie,
said he; "my lips won't pucker up good"
"Oh, that is because you have not got all
the whine out yet, )" said Charlie; "but you try
a minute, and the whistle will drive the whine
away"
So he did, and the last / saw or heard Of
the little fellows, they were whistling away as
earnestly as though that was the chief end of
life. 1 learned lesson which hope / shall
not soon forget, and it called out these few
lines, which way possibly cheer another wilmer
of mature years, as this class is by no means
confined to the children.
It is better to whistle than whine;
1t is better to laugh than to cry,
For though it be cloudy, the sun will soon shine
Across the blue, beautiful sky.
It is better to whistle than whine,
Oh! man with the sorrowful brow,
Let the words ofthe child scatter murmurs ofthnc
And gather his cheerfulness now.
It is better to whistle than to whine,
Poor mother! SO weary with care,
Thank God for the love and the peace that are thine
And the joy Of thy little ones share.
It is better to whistle than whne
Though troubles you find in your way,
Remember that wise little fellow of mine,
And whistle your whining away.
God bless that brave boy for the cheer
He brought to this sad heart of mine;
When tempted to murmur, that young voice hear,
at is better to whistle than whine!'

ssIS FATHER ON DECK ?"

A number of years ago Captain D. COM
manded a vessel sailing from Liverpool to
New York, and on the voyage he had all his
family with him on board the ship.
One night when all was quietly asleep,
there arose sudden squall of wind which
came sweeping over the water until it struck
the vessel and instantly threw her on her side,
tumbling and crashing everything that was
movable, and awaking the passengers to con-
sciousness that they were in imminent peril.
Every one on board was alarmed and
uneasy and some sprang from their berths
and began to dress, that they. might be ready
for the worst.
Captain D. had little girl on board, just
eight years old, who, Of course, awoke with
the rest.
"Whats the matter?" said the frightened
child.
They told her squall had struck the ship.
"Is father on deck ?" said she.

The little thing dropped herself on her pill
low again without fear, and in few mo-
mcnts was sleeping sweetly in spite of wind or
waves
Blessed child! How her confidence shames

room for fear.

storms and troubles and temptations. We

THE SMALL BOY OF MERGED RIVER.

Where the road between Merced and Smell
ing crosses the Merced river, that stream i
about two hundred yards in width, and even
at this season of the year, when the water is
quite low, it looks like dangerous and deer
stream to cross. A few days since a patent
medicine agent, travelling on horseback
through that section, came to the river, and
hesitated about attempting to ford it as he
saw the wide expanse Of rushing waters.
There is no bridge anywhere along there, SO
after some indccision he concluded to swim,
his horse across. Spying boy fishing in a
small boat tied to the bank, he said:
"Hello, bub!"
"Hello, yourself!'
"Can l get you to take my clothes across
the river in your boat"
81 rekin you kin, ifyou've got any SOAP
Call right; I'll give you quarter to take
over my clothes and this carpet sack to the
opposite shore"
TO this the boy nodded assent, the stranger
disrobed, turned over the carpet sack and the
habiliments to the juvenile, who padded out
into the stream, and mounted his horse, pre-
pared to swim the river and enjoy the luxury
of bath. With splash at every movement
the horse stepped into the stream, and walked
across-the water was nowhere more than
eighteen inches deep! To say that medicine
man, perched on the back of his horse, was q
man Of iniquity for the space of half an hour,
would hardly do justice to the occasion. There
were enough "dams" along the Merced thai
afternoon to supply hundred mill sites.

Mrs. McAfee, though but recently engaged as
contributor to the ENQUIRER, is we'll known in
the world of letters, having commenced her lite
rary career by writing for periodcalsin in 1862 and
having been remarkably successful in every effort.
J. Wood Davidson, in his "Liv,ng Writer'S Of the
South," published in 1869, says 'She is just past
twenty, and seems full of youthful aspiration, and
hopes, and life. She puts her impulses, feelings
and thoughts into literary forms with wonderful
facility" Her second publication, entitled "-4s
by Fire." novel of passion life, earnest, intense
and full of pathos, appeared in 1869, and was well
received by the public. The New York Round
Tuble spoke Of the volume as being all perpetual
splendor," and that the writer in her special de-
lineations of character, displays abundant capaci-
ty to excel.
The first number of the new volume will con-
tain the opening chapters Of thrilling and high
ly exciting story by Mrs. McAfee, being her latest
