w. M. Wilson, who has just arrived
at Phoebe from Hike, furnishes the
following items to the Record:
The tide OF emigration from Oregon
still sets southwa ward to Arizona, and
large numbers pass through daily.
TIE herds of cattle that accompany
them have made grass a scare article
around Pahranagat this summer. Mr..
Gossett reports renewed activity in
Groom District. He leaves on to-mor-
rows stage for Eureka, to meet Mr..
Dennison, the new Superintendent,
who is about to take charge OF the
management. Resting Springs is at
tracing a good deal of attention in
that section at present. The following
parties left Hike for that place last
Monday: John O'Brien. G. G. Brad
ley, Thomas Damer. John Toms and
August Cook. j. b. Osborne, former
Superintendent of the Groom Mining
Company, has purchased some valua-
BILE mining property at Resting
Springs and means to develop it.
Last Monday night Maggie Kelly and
Kitty Leroy, two stars at the Alham-
bra theater in Virginia City, INDUCED
in a lively fight in the green room after
the performance was over, and used
each other up so badly that they will
probably not make their appearance
for some time. The fracus grew out OF
professional jealousies and some
trouble about the sale of wine and the
commissions attached. Both girls are
dancers, and appear upon the stage
together in a double clog performance
in which the somewhat volnptuous
Maggie appeared at a disadvantage
when contrasted with the more deli
cate and !ight-limbed Kitty, who can
kick several inches higher than any
in the theater. Hence the
trouble. During the fracus Harry
Lorraine, the stage manager, got a new
suit of store clothes spoiled by a bottle
of black varnish which "a thrown by
the gentle Kitty at her antagonist.
Last Saturday afternoon, Constable
Jack Noble and Frank Miller, of Sill
yer City, while attempting to serve an
attachment on some property belong
ing to Greeley French, were set upon
by Mrs. French, who knocked, Miller
down with a rock, hit the constable in
the back of the head and tore off the
lapel of his coat The officer. in self
defense, struck the irate female with a
hammer which he had in his hand to
tack the attachment up. After his wife
had retired from the contest, French
attacked the officer, who drew his re-
vOlver to use as a club, when it was
di>charged-the ball passing through
French's neck, intlicting a painful
wound. The Times says the whole
affair will be ~judicially investigated.
Last Sunday evening, a Chinaman
was shot AT Austin, by another celes-
tial named jim Lee. The shot was
fired through a window, the ball strik
ing the unfortunate mans eye and
lodging in the head. 1t is not eX
pecIed that he will o Jim Lee
was arrested.

BRYANT'S HISTORY OF THE
UNITED STATES.

Of histories of the United States there
is no end, but there are none which
have attained the result of the recent
work of William Cullent Bryant. 1t
commences with an epitome of what is
known or surmised concerning pre-
historic man, which is followed by a
chapter on the Mound Builders, the
pre- historic race of this hemisphere.
The next chapter treats of the North
mems discovery, the first full account
given in any popular work of the loss
and discovery of the New World by
the Scandinavian mariners. This
chapter is very full and complete and
will be read with great interest, as it
completely eclipses the DINNER re
cords of other works concerning the
prehistoric people of the Western
Hemisphere. The next chapter re-
lates to the voyages westward made
before Columbus sailed, and is full OF
new and interesting matter. AS an ev-
idence of the pains taken to give us the
latest Information, we may cite the ac-
count given of the Chinese claim to the
discovery of America, which, though
it has been known for a long time to
Orienta! scholars, will undoubtedly be
new to most readers. The succeeding
details of pre-. Columbian discovery are
of great interest.
The story of the first settlement of
these shores by English, French,
Spanish and Dutch adventures, is full
ofinterest. The strange circumstances
and the efforts to establish new en-
pires in America, afford abundant ma
terial for the imagination of the reader
to work n 1t is truly a magnificent
work, and if the quality of the volume
now issued is sustained by its succes
sors, the whole work may fairly claim
to be regarded as the most successful
achievement in the literary annals OF
America.
The value of such a work to the
American people can not be e~xaggerat-
ed; and we can not but hope that the
enterprise of the publishers will be
rewarded by q sale worthy of so grand
an undertaking. 1t should be remem-
bered by our readers that the work is
for sale only by subscription. All in
quiries regarding it may be addressed
to the agent for Eureka-Alphonse
Hawkes., box 40.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN DOCU.
MEN rs.

We have received from the National
Executive Committee a large number
of campaign documents for distribu-
ton. Democrats from the country will
assist the cause by calling at this office
and getting as many as are required
for distribution in their respective sec
tons. Let any voter read the speech
of Hon. Samuel J.. Randall, upon the
results of the late Democratic House
Of Representatives, the Address Of the
Reform Committee of New York,
Facts for Independent Voters, Cover.
nor Tilden's Letter of Acceptance, the
testimony OF the New York Times up to
the period of Governor Tild.n's nomi.
ination for the Presidency, concerning
his record as a Reformer; the Speech
Of Col. Fred. A. COnkling upon the
Freedman's Bank Swindle, and other
documents exposing the corruption of
the party in power, and we are conf
fully, and with a mind free from pre-
judice, will hesitate a moment how to
cast his vote if he would have it tell in
favor of the correction of present
abuses and the placing Of the Govern
ment under the management OF those
who will administer it honestly and
faithfully, conducting it for the benefit
Of the people instead of using it as a
power to Cypress them. Extraordi-
nary efforts have been made. and with
considerable success in this section, to
extend the circulation of the New
York Times, the acknowledged ma.
tional campaign organ of the Republi-
can party, and we would especially
call the attention of our readers to the
little document entitled as Samuel j.
Tilden a Reformer?" The solution of
the connundrim is contained In the
document itself, which a compilation
of eulogistic articles and paragraphs
relating to the man whom that jour-
nal, owned, edited and controlled by
the n parties as at that time, can
not find words mean enough in the
English language to use in his villifi-
cation. All hat ia wanted to insure
the electoral vote of this State being
cast in favor of the reform candidates,
is a little effort upon the part of prom
inent Democrats to awaken the voters
to a realization of the present deplora-
BILE condition Of our national affairs
and the necessity for a radical change
in the executive department of the
Government. One of the best meth
DDS Of effecting this is by placing the
means Of information within their
reach in the shape of such publications
as those enumerated above. Let them
be distributed lavishly throughout the
country and the good effects will
evince themselves on the seventh Of
next month.

GOVERNOR HAYES AS A KNOW
NOTHING.

The following letter from Governor
Hayes Private Secretary was received
in our telegraphic dispatches yester.
day, with the volunteer statement of
the Western Union Telegraph Co.'s
news compiler that the Democratic
papers in the East were endeavoring to
make great capital out of it. 1t was
very wrong in u Democratic breth-
rem of the Eastern press to attempt to
turn against him anything written by
the Republican presidential candidate
or his authorized agent, and is a prece-
dent which we would scorn to follow.
We will herefore give the letter with
out comment, merely prefacins it with
the remark that the American Alliance
Is an order in the East, similar in
character to what is known as the
sCreecents'' on the Pacific coast, ak
cept, that instead Of restricting It's an
tagonism to those of the Catholic faith,
it takes broader grounds and excludes
from it's ranks all but native.born
American citizens;
COLUMBUS. Ohio, July 10, 1876.
DEAR SIR: Governor Hayes desires
me to acknowledge the receipt of your
valued favor of July, inclosing res
olutions of tho American Alliance,
and to say in reply that he is deeply
gratifed by this expression of conf
dence. The importance of carrying
the States of New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut in the approaching
canvass is fully recognized, and at the
proper time references will be given
you to committees for such aid and CO.
operation as to be advisable.
Very respectfully,
ALFRED e. LEE,
Secretary.

A THREE HANDED FIGHT.

The Congressional fight in the Sew
enth District, in Massachusetts, has as
sulned an interesting attitude. BY
our dispatches We learn that Judge e.
lockwood Hoar, ex-United States
Attorney General, has consented to
RIM as an Independent candidate
against Ben. Butler, the regular, or
irregular, nominee of the Republican
Convention. Judge Hoar represents
the blue blood element of his party,
which will rally to his support, while
the redoubtable hero of New Orleans
will corral the riffratf. In the g
time, John X. Tarbox, the Democratic
nominee, and the present Representa-
tive from that district, will distance
them both with the solid support of
his party vote; for which we say:
Bully for u native district.

War Taik by the European Press.
LONDON, Oct. 3.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Times comments on the excited tone
of the Russian and Hungarian press.
He says it is interesting to notice that
the organs of both the Russian and
Austrian Governments are exchang-
ing thirst of war. The Rother Lloyd
declares that Austria would have allies
in the conflict, and the st. Petersburg
Golos replies that Russia will no be
stopped even if she has no allies. The
tone of many of the leading organs of
Germany is strongly opposed to the
supposed ambitious designs OF Russia.
and they think Russia would recede
from war if Austria and Turkey ac-
copied her challenge. The Times cor
respondent remarks: "This opinion
was very general here some time ago
but recent events have somewhat mod
fled it and it il now thought that
Russia after her repeated threats
of war, might, If challenged, deem it
