A TOAST TO THE SENTINEL.
In response tothiS toast u representa-
tive of the SENTINEL. who was present.
made IA few appropriate remarks. This
gentleman alluded to the early history
of Eureka District, and cited the fact
that at Il time when the problem of the
ores of this section was considered
doubtful, if net altogether problemati-
cal, the mutual friend of those present
appeared upon the scene and actually
wrought out a success which had con
tributcd upwards of four millions an
nually to the wealth of the world.
The speaker. therefore, thought that
the testimonial, which was IA very
magnificent one, was most wOrthilv
bestowed. lie vent on to argue that
only for h perseverance,, ingenuity
and skill of Mr.. McG;ee the
town OF Eureka would not, to
date, have amounted to very
much, and adducea the facts. which
we're properly elucidatcd, that the
present prosperity of the district was
mainly due to the Richmond Com
pany under its present able manage
incnt. There were many other fcIicit-
Gus speeches made, but a want of space
warns us to cut cur report short here.
1t was certainly Il very agreeable occa-
sion, and one which will long be re-
membcred by those who were present.

driving a lucrative business in their
disposal of IL curious Chinese orna-
ment, in the shape of a plant, consist
ing of cluster of Dubious roots grow
ing in il small dish filled with pebbles.
When properly taken care OF they form
Il very pretty ornaments; but most of
people, i'll their anxiety to nourish the
fragile plant, kill it by applying too
much water. The leaves of the plant
are of Il bright green, ensitorlm in
shape, and i'll many respects similar to
the meadow lily of the Eastern States.
