Some of the foreign papers are giy-
ing expression to some very lofty SEN
timents on the subject of the low
moral tone which, they allege, per-
vades the United States. The San
Francisco Bulletin in an article upon
the subject says: They talk of the
fall Of . Cabinet Minister by cor
ruption a. if such a circumstance
was . novelty in the history of
the world. There have been Cab

STEALIN6S.

While making a run up and down
the Comstock, last Wednesday, All En-
te,prfse reporter, with others, visited
the com hinat;on shaft of the North and
South Chapman mines. While there,
MIR. Fleming, one of the party, and
who is interested in these claims,
stepped to a small pine bush near by
and presented the reporter with a
string of beads, which was found fas-
tened around the neck Of the remains
of the squaw which were taken out of
the shaft on the LIST day of last January
when cleaning it out to resume sink
ing. The beads are strung i'm n triple
row on a buckskin string. They are
part blue, part white aud from one
third 70 one-half an inch in diameter.
In stringing them four or five blue
ones are first put on each string, then
about the same number of white ones
and so on. The body la found in the
shaft and in connection Herewith the
body of an Indian and a dog. 1t is evi-
dent that the bodies was thrown into
the shaft after death.
A note received by the Sflper State
from Charley Frazer, at Battle Noun
tain, says the Eagle mill in Lewis Dis
trict, is a complete success. 1t is now
running steadily, and turning out con-
| siderable bullion. A shipment of four
bars, valued at s 1850 was made by the
company, yesterday. MIR. McMasters,
the Superintendent, appears L under
stand his business thoroughly, and is
running the mill and mine i'm a thor
ough and business.like manner.
Feter Larkin, convicted of the mur
der Of Daniel Corcoran, was bro ught
before Judge Rising at Virginia City
last Tuesday to received the death sen
tence. His counsel asked for q post.
ponement until Saturday, the 18TH
which was granted. Larkin came into
court with a brisk step and a collected
manner-a little too cool to be natural.
He was dressed neatly in black, and
although his long confinement has
taken the color out of his face, ne
seems in good health.
The prisoner, J.. w. Rover, accused
of the murder of Sharp, may now be
seen daily in the District Court room,
atWinnemucca. Confinement appears.
to agree with him, and he is fieshier
than when arrested. He looks as un
concerned as anybody IN the Court
house, and laughs when the slightest
pr%ovocati0n to do sc occurs. A strang
er entering the Courtroom would
think he was a disinterested spectator.

A Wheat BROKER AbscOnded.
CHICAGO, April Z.
A sensation was produced on the
Board of Trade this morning when it
was discovered that Frank Cainblos, a
member of the board, had withdrawn
his account from the bank and had alb
seconded, leaving about five hundred
and fifty to six hundred thousand
bushels of wheat unprovlded for. He
has been a bull and bought largely
during the recent rise, so that his loss
on the whole amount is from two TO
three cents per bushel. The decline
which has occurred of late alarmed
him, and it is supposed he has gone to
California with what money he had.
The members who lost by this trans
action were obliged to throw a large
amount of wheat on the market which
occasioned a rapid decline.

WHAT CHEER INUNDATED.

EDS. HERALD.-Last Tuesday night
the little town of What Cheer situated
near the western outskirts Of Keokuk Co.,
was completely deluged. About mid
night the citizens were awakened by the
sound of rushing water, when it was dis
covered that a vast flood was rushing in
upon them from the hills and adjacent
country, which swelled so rapidly that
within a few moments after its discovery
it was surging through the open windows
from house to house throughout large
part of the town. Coming upon them in
their sleep and surprising them so sudden
ly, little opportunity was found to secure
property, clothing, bedding, household
furniture of every description, fences,
pumps, stables, out-houses, hogs, vegeta-
bles, groceries and lager beer, and the
terrified screams of women and children,
mingled and commingled with the roar of
the flood, and were tossed hither and
tither and swept out of sight. Just how
long the food lasted, we are not advised.
1t is reported that the water attained a
depth of three feet in dwellings and
stores and some were carried off their
foundation. The amount of damage has
not been estimated. Almost every family
has sustained more or less, generally more.
Happily no lives were lost. 1t is reported
that several horses came near drowning in
their stables, but were released in time to
escape.
What Cheer is situated at the base Of
two continuous lines of hills running par
allel to the north and east, in what might
be called an expanded gorge. Its pecul,
lar location makes it the outlet of all the
surplus water from a vast track of coun-
try lying to the north and east, and the
food is supposed to be due to the recent
heavy rains in that direction.
News in this end of the township are
scarce The heavy rains an intense heat
have Il decided tendency to make people
blue and cut Of sorts. We notice how
ever, that your correspondent Helper still
survives, anu sports as much dignity as a
"dry goose pond" BY the way, as we
can't sec who he helps we would suggest
that he hereafter subscribe himself
Cushioned, as being more significant
of his personal characteristics. G. S.
