ANXIoUs.-A great many or the
citizens of Eureka have formerly
lived on the Comstock, and when the
news of the terrible explosion got
uoised about yesterday, there was
great anxiety manifested to the
iull particulars. The extra lssneu
from the SENTINEL office was nluch
sought after and eagerly read.

CURIOUS DEPOSITS. In the Safe
mine, i'll New York Canyon, are found
curious accretions of quartz and
galena imbedded in spherical and OBJ
long masses Of tough clay. These
masses somewhat resemble cobble-
stones in shape, and on being broken
open, little nodules OF quartz are ex-
posed, some of the size of marbles
and others as large as an orange. On
breaking the quartz. the centre OF the
nodules is found to be composed of
brilliant galena ore, so lustrous as to
almost reflect the image of objects
placed before it. Such agglomerations
OF clay and ore-b, airing rocks are very
rare, and only occur in peculiar
form ,tions, like that in which this
mine is situated.

Some Suggestions.

The following communication has
been placed in our hands for publica-
ton
EDITOR SENTINEL; Let an outsider
make II lew suggestions in regard to-
the danger of fire and the waste of
water. In the FIRST place. would it not
be a wise move for the propertv-
holders to build another reservoir
abou the size of the present one? In
stead of wasting the water in washing
OIL houses and wagons, keep it. and
allow no more IT, be used in sprink-
ling IL streets. 1t a fire should occur
the subbly of water would then do
some good. COMMON SENSE.
We have heard this same PROPOSE
ton, relative to increasing the supply
OF water by the erection of another
reservoir, mooted by some of our
most enterprising business men. 1t
Is a good idea, and one that we should
be glad to see put into operation. If
a little o pressure could be OBJ
tanned i'll the meantime. that would
also be a good thing. Perhaps the
Commissioners can be induced to do
something in the premises III case the
town organization carries. All must
admit that every dollar expended in
rendering the town more secure
against the ravageS of tho flames is
money well spent.

THE FOURTH AT AUSTIN.-They are
having trouble at Austin about their
celebration. Father Maloney was
elected as orator, but opposition de-
veloping he peremp;orily resigned.
Mrs. y. II. Anderson, chosen to read
the Declaration OF Independence, also
declines. In his letter to the Com
mittee Father Maloney SAYS: Has the
opposition arisen from the fact of my
being a Catholic Priest or an Irish
man? If so, these gentlemen little
understand what liberty means, or
what it is they celebrate on the Fourth
of July. Their minds are so dlrk
That they cannot see beyond their
own shadows. Such men ought to
have been born in Guinea, Congo, or
Ashantee for they are a foul stain
upon the flag of this country, which
makes no distinction OF creed or ma
tionality. They ought to have been
born amid the darkness of serfdom,
for they cannot appreciate the bless
ingS which this great and free coun-
try has brought upon us all.

The CHARTER MEETING To-NIGHT. The
charter meeting tonight, if attended by citi-
zens honestly in favor of suggesting improve
ments to the Charter bill now before the State
Legislature, might be productive of some
good But the indications are unmistakable
that it is to be one of those old-fashioned
Tammany gatherings SO frequently drummed
up when political end is to be subseryed
or the wishes of the leaders are to be
carried out. The well-known drummers-up of
the slums of the wards have been active IN
securing large attendance, and & their sue.
cess should be as great as their efforts we
shall have gathering equal to the palmy
days of Tweed and his merry men. The
Offices will be the bone of contention The
object of the leaders of the movement is to
improve their own chances for Office rather
Ian to improve the proposed charter.

The American Carnival.

There is something to the thoughtful mind
very saddening in the picture which is pre-
sented when number of grown-up people
are seen preparing with solemn deliberateness
to enjoy themselves. Fun is something which
we usually regard as o thing that, to be real,
must be spontaneous yet the things which
make men laugh most are usually the result
of considerable forethought in others The
people who create the fun rarely enjoy it, and
hence, when we read Of the people who pre-
bare the pageants of Mardi Gras that will
amuse the Crescent City to-day, we cannot
help looking at them in the light Of martyrs
to public jollity. Societies that call them
selves amusing are seldom or never gay" says
Beranger. and the greatest of the French
balladists is high authority on the subject.
He was the soul of Partisan fun for quarter
of century but he always found his own
amusement to be best developed when, with
ga friend or two' he forgot care in his little
attic six stories high. But for the crowd who
can laugh and for whom all this Orleanistic
display is being made, perhaps enough
of the juice of enjoyment can be
expressed to send them into ecstasies.
Our correspondent from New Orleans gives
us little philosophy on the effect of races
upon the Mardi Gras He traces the influence
of the Teutonic blood putting barriers around
the frolicking of the Latins in New Orleans,
and shows how difficult it is for the wild
abandon of the Carnival to flourish in the mix
ture of peoples that make up our forty millions.
In Memphis we find that the Lord of Misrule

merry shake as in the regions of the sun fur

where the season of Shrovetide came with

Justice to the Nations Pensioners.

The corrupt Congress now so near its disso-
luton has displayed an amazing propensity
for straining at economical gnats and swallow
ing extravagant camels The former trait
finds an illustration in the action of the Senate
in so altering the Pension bill, now in the
hands of q conference committee of the House
and Senate, that should it become law, as it
at present stands, the brave fellows who were
disabled in the war for the Union and thrown,
through their helplessness on the government
for the bread they eat will be shamefully
cheated out of their just dues. BY the words
constant and Recommending" inserted
in the bill a soldier, though on his dying
bed, may be refused the degree of pen
sion to which he is entitled. He must
show that he received constant medical
attendance before receiving his pittance; and
the insertion of the word recommending
means that the soldier cannot obtain his PEN
sion from the time it is shown to be deserved,
but from the date the surgeon may happen to
recommend the same. The insertion of these
words in the bill was intended by the vir-
tuous Senators who suggested them to defraud
the soldiers in the interests of economy.
Could anything be more mean and pitiful?
The disabled soldiers of the nation deserve
and should receive the care and protection of
Congress, for the country has not forgotten
their services nor the debt of gratitude due
them. We hope, therefore, that the Confer
ence Committee will see to it that the bill is
reported and passed, shorn of the Objectionable
words to which we have called attention.

British Beams ana Yankee Notes.
Reckless as some American officials ara
proved, we find that our English cousins have
little cause to stand aghast in surprised aston
ishment at political profigacy as shown bv
Tammany and Credit Mobilier disclosures
The Liverpool Courier tells us that within
twenty years there has been expended upon
the British Navy one billion and forty-fiye
million dollars. As ON indication of how
part of this vast sum-larger by nearly fifty
million dollars than the French indemnity
has been drained from the exchequer, we are
told the prices paid for stores vary from twenty
to sixty per cent above market rates. To one
firm one hundred dollars per ton was paid for
building composite gunboat, while for
another precisely like it another firm received
one hundred and forty-eight dollars and sew
enty-fve cents per ton. For anchors and ca
bles alone the Grown paid over million Of
dollars in excess of market value

ment ships have been sold for the price their
timbers would have brought if sold for fire.
wood, and less than the iron would bring az
pig iron of the most inferior quality. In
twenty-seven investiglt tied cases the Admiralty
actually ''bought back the old copper from the
purchaser of ship at larger price than that
for which they had sold the ship itself, includ-
ing copper, costly engines and valuable
stores". It would take very sharp Yankee
fnanciering to equal such official jobbery. But
the British investigation proved that even as
high as five times the price of the ship had
been got back by favored buyers from the Adj
miralty for the old copper which formed part
of q purchase. As a parallel to the facility
with which Court House bills, which covered
the cost of acres of carpets and unlimited
building materials for the ''Boss' and his
friends, were passed by our municipal Board of
Audit, we may call attention to the admission
Of Admiral Berkeley, that as Junior Lord of
the Admiralty, he signed away vast sums of
money upon papers he knew nothing about
having been told that all he had to do was to
notice that certain names and ticks were upon
the documents he spent three hours day in
executing. From these revelations it seems
that John Bull may properly be advised to
pluck the beam from his own eyes before seri-
ously disturbing himself over the unpleasant
notes which offend the sight of Brother Jona-
than.
