TURKS Selling sits Of the "Tfue
Cross"

SAANRs
Philadelphia Timesl
A party consisting of upward of
a dozen Turks have arrived here
from Jerusalem. Being in full
Eastern costume they create a fu-
rore among the newsboys and boot
blacks, who can find no comparison
for the turbans except a flour bag
with the open end rolled up out
wardly, the whole being painted in
all the primary colors. These Mus
selmen appear to have discovered
something akin to the philosophers
stone, for they intend selling bits of
the i" true cross " to credulous Chris
tians at the exhibition. They are
acting under the auspices Of the
Turkish Commission, and a confess
sion has lately been granted them
for the erection on the grounds of
a Turkish coffee house, in which
the uninitiated may, at a triding
expense, practice squatting cross
legged on mats, slipping coffee and
smoking opium ; also, Of a bazaar,
in which several barrels of bits of
the "true cross" together with
pieces of Lebanon cedar, woodrow
the Mount OF Olives and other ar
ticles from the Holy Land that will
find ready sale in a Christian coun-
try will be sold. Paper weights and
cutlery, the latter comprising speci-
mems Of the far-famed Oriental
cimetar, will also form prominent
features Of this bazaar.

An Arizona wife begged the Court
not to punish her husband for the
crime of bigamy, of which lie was con.
victed. "He loved me once, and was
kind" she said, with the tears running
in streams down her face, "and when
l 60 away to my lonely home it would
be my only earthly comfort to know
that he was free To seek for happiness
III he can efind it anywhere in this
world" When sentence was pro-
nounced, the stricken IN fell on
her knees before her husband, and
pacing her hands upon his arms asked
him TO forgive her ii she had ev,r done
anything,to chill his love tor her, and
to kiss her just as he would adead wife
whom he loved. The wretched man
seemed entirely overcome by these pit
iful appeals and his own fate, and
grasping her in his arms kissed her
over and over again, and when the Off
GERS drew him away she sank fainting
to the floor.

whose mine is located in Belmont,

/ know of no b3tter mode of obtaining
it thau addressing you. During the
latter part of last NoveIuber you stated
in your always newsy SENTINEL that
the stockholders would he made glad
by the presentation, on Christmas day,
OF a handsome present in the shape OF
the opening of "A fine bonanza in this
mine. A lew weeks later you stated
thar, owing to some unlocked fordraw-
buck, the gladdening OF the hearts of
the stockholders would necessarily be
deferred until New Years day, orthere-
abouts. Since then. although l have
carefully read each number of your
paper, not u word have | seen in re-
latiog to this mine; bur. ON the other
hand l have been notified through the
San Francisco papers of the declara-
ton of n or two 'lrisb dividends
since the promulgated promise of a
rich holiday present To El Dorado

1t would be gratifying to me, as well
as other stockholders, to even know
that work has been and is still being
done towards developing the FL Do
RADIO South mine. Can you give me
the desired information? H.

The items referred to by "H." were

duly credited to that paper. For the
last few months, however, we have
been furnished with no intelligence
concerning the working OF condition
of the mine from that source, and hay
ing no other means of Information. are

APPARENTLY MALIcious.-Ed. Kel-
ley, Of the Sitrer State, is being tried
in Carson for the violation of a United
States statute, in publishing an a''or-
tiontst's advertisement, which has APP
peared in a number of other papers in
the State, the proprietors of which
have not been molested. While we
regard that class Of advertisements as
subversive of the moral sentiment OF
the reading public and offer no Office
ton to the strict execution of the law
prohibiting their publication, we can
discern no good reason why Mr.. kel-
ley should have bee ! selected as the
solitary victim to expia;e the joint
offense of a dozen vioiators of the law
equally guilty with himself. To a per-
sou in the Base Range it looks very
much as though there was more mall
ice in the prosecution than a desire to
vindicaie the law.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE con.
TROLLER OF STATE.

We sre in receipt of the annual re-
port of the Controller of State for the
eleventh fiscal year, ending December
Slst, 1875. Evidently much care has
been devoted to the preparation of the
document, and to say that it is exhaus
tive hardly conveys an adequate on
ception of its completeness. The sta
tistical information is all presented in
the simplest form. We summarize
some of the most important points Of
the report, employing round numbers
for the sake of convenience:
The State for 1875 amount
ed to $56s,679 AZ. or this sum Storey
county paid in s2ls 900; Washoe. $685.
QUO; Eureka, $4,000; and Elko, $751;
goo. The total cost of the last Legisla-
ture was $4,000. The State debt, ac-
cording to the Controllers figures, is
1857 900. Assets in coin, currency and
Government bonds, 1871 900. There are
remaining unexpended in the Centen-
NAL Fund $l4.50O. County Assessors
consumed 1851 days in taking the
census of the State, at . total lost OF
