| bles is upon us, and the rising genera
ton are deep in the mysteries of
''taws," "chinas," "purys," 'agates,"
Crystals" "keeps," and "fen steal
ings." While passing along Main
street, last evening, a SENTINEL re
porter's attention VAS attracted to a
crowd of men who were watching an
interesting game of marbles between
two boys. One of the boys appeared
to be much more skillful than his OPP
ponent-the good player being like
wise several years the junior Of the
poor player, and much his inferior in
size. They were playing 1.-TWO up"
when we approached; but the larger
boy got excited and increased the
stakes to ~''three-upo Still his luck
did not turn, and he bantered the little
fellow to go 'four-up." The small boy
hesitated, when the larger boy said:
81 see one thing a. stickin' out mighty
plain; either I've got TO bust you, or
you've got to bust me. There amt no
halfway aboutthis thing" The small
boy wouldn't be dared, and put up the
four marbles. Luck remained with
him ard he gathered in the other fell
lows marbles as rapidly as four bit
pieces are snaked in at a circus ticket
wagon. In a short time the larger
boys sack was dragged" clean; and,
as his last marble was picked up, his
jaw dropped aud he whined out: II
don't mind losin' the marbles, but TO
be busted by a little whitfet what amt
out OF the first reader yit, is what
makes me wish the earth would open
and swallow the world and everybody
in it but me-"
FROM AUsTIN.-Our portly friend,
A. f. shannon, Deputy United States
Collector of Internal Revenue, whose
habitat is under the shadow of Mount
Prometheus, otherwise Austin, is in
town on official business. He came
| over on the stage which left Austin on
Tuesday; but did not arrive here till
two o'clock yesterday morning, the
stage having lost its way on the desert
or been detained at the Willows wait
ing for the connecting stage from Bel
mont. Mr.. shannon will start for
home, via Palisade, by to morrow
mornings tram. He says the grub of
Eureka don't agree with him and he
wants to get back to Austin in time for
the Republican County Convention, be-
fore which body he will be a candidate
for the nomination for County Clerk.
WHY NUT?-In his minutes of abe
naturalization of aliens, yesterday,
County Clerk Harmon by mistake put
down John Murphy as a native of
Italy. intead of Ireland, which latter
country the applicant gave as his
birthplace. A bysiander called the at
tention of Rufus to the error, and he
tRufus) replied: "They've got a
Frenchman named Mcmahon, and /
don't see why there can't just as we'll
be an Italian named Murphy" The
Judge is correct; for there is a soft
Italian sound about the name Of Muir
ply; and we don't see why an Italian
can't just as well be named Murphy as
not, il he happened to be born in
Ireland.
SAT on HIM Oar citizens may
probably remember that distinguished
individual, Red handed Mike, who
honored the Base Range with his pres
eucs. Michael went from here to
the Com~tocls where he came To grief,
AZ va learn from an item in the NIr-
ginia Chronicle, which states that Mike
went down t o Silver City, last Sunday,
! where he got into a saloon row in
which some obscure pugilist knocked
hin downand sat ON him. The Chron.
! icie says: It's Il great pity that a man
with such a name should be obliged to
submit to such treatment from the
hands of ordinary people. Mike
struck n hard hearted crowd when he
came up on the Comstock.n
a BoY.-C. l.. Broy dropped in at
about midnight last night TO tell us
that the O'Neil Survey had again
come to the front with a born
boy. Charlie is the author of the diff
fculty, and he feels as proud as though
he had been nominated by both par
ties for all of the Offices in the county.
Both mother and child were doing well
ut latest accounts. Charlie consider
ately brought along a supply of cham
payne, which was quickly disposed OF
in bumpers to the health and long life
Of the new conner.
MANHATTAN IN DEMAND.-A gentle
nan recently from Austin informs US
that over one thousand shares of the
Manhattan stock, in small lots, were
purchased bv residents OF that town
last week. There must be upwards OF
5000 shares of this stock held by small
outside holders in the little town of
Austin, which shows that the Austin
ties not only have money with which
to BUY stocks, but that they have an
abiding faith in the leading mines in
their district.

ted to citizenship in the Sixth District
Court, before His Honor, f. w. Cole:
