Two Old piOchers.

We had a call yesterday from Geo.
Birdsall and Johnny Flaherty, two
old Piochers, who are en- route for the
Comstock. Flaterty resided here in
'72-3, since which time he has lived i'm
Utah and Phoebe. lie finds many old
acquaintance in Eureka, though the
the town has almost outgrOwn his
recollection of it. Birdsall went to
White Pine with the rush, and when
PIoche doomed up he pitched his tent
in that lively burg, and there lie re-
manned until he started on the present
trip. He was the Republican candi-
date last fall for Sheriff of Lincoln,
having been defeated by a small ma
jority. No man was better known on
the line of the Comstock in the early
days, say from go to "a, than George
Birdsall. He has been absent eight or
nine years in the wilds of the Great
East, but we imagine that he will still
find a host Of old friends to bid him
welcome to his former stamping
ground. These gentlemen report Pr
oche quiet, but with chance to come
to the front again when the Meadow
Valley puts in a new pump to assist
the Raymond IL Ely in Kidding the
mines of water.

Spanish stew.

Beefsteak q la Spanish and Spanish
stews are dishes that appeal to a Mex
leans stomach as being par excellence,
the highest achievement of the cooks
art, and are affected by a good many
Americans who have a penchant for
highly seasoned and spicy dishes.
The distinguishing and predominating
ingredient in a Spanish stew is
cayenne peppers, and n mouthful of
the savory mess makes a novi ce think
his throat and inn ards are on fire. Its
rather the cheese for the old-timers
to affect a liking for it and eXtol its APP
petiZing qualities. Two gentlemen
who ~patronize Walkers chop stand
and invariably eat in company, have
zach tried to Guido the other in their
calls for the compound, and have
cursed the cook for some time past be-.
cause he did not make it hot enough
to suit their palates, affeciedly adding
red pepper until they got il seasoned
up to the right pitch. The cook, after
a while, became rather tired of their
oft repeated growls, and concluded to
fix up a Spanish stew for their especial
benefit. He had it ready for their
dinner, and il came about a. near be-
ing the burning hot essence of tribula-
ton as was aver mixed up for the
comfort and cure of two grumblers.
The couple proceeded to occupy u
of the little rooms, incidentally telling
Billy that they would have to patron
ize some other stand if he did not
change cooks very Dor The dinner
was placed on the table, and they at
Both, after the first mouthful involun-
tarily ceased operations, and gazed in
each others eyes. John gasped out,
"now, that is something like a stew"
and Sam nodded assent. Neither dare
say anything about its being too
warm, and both desperately CONT
nued the meal, seeking temporary re-
lief between each mouthful by swal
lowing huge gulps of water. Walker
complained about its being the dryest
crowd he had ever waited on, and
wears that lie packed in W. buckets
of water to them before the meal was
over. The tears stood in their eyes
and trickled down their cheeks, but
they stuck to the stew like trojans
until they finished it, when John got
up aud swore that no combination of
birthstone, sulphur or hell fire ave
equalled the aforesaid dish. and as for
him, he was willing to leave the sea-
soning in the future to the cooks taste.
They don't grumble any more about
the want of pepper in their favorite
Spanish compound.

passing : pulley and returned to

he Is enabled to close all egress TO an
entrapped damsel. He asserts that it
Is but a friendly effort to establish So
cial relations between the exterior and
interior departments OF this v
stored mansion and pretends it will
be as efficient in capturing a rio;er as a
maiden, only he deprecates its ap-
plication to the rioters as a degradation
never contem plated. He is flattered
by the attention paid to his elevated
instep, his tapered off fingers and an
invitation to visit the railroad mag
mates and the police department. L
didn't think so well Of the last invita-
ton, but circumstances control in
these riotous times. i now leave it to
the candid men OF Eureka to say ii
this shall continue. AS sure as shoot
ing L would rather be banished to
Tybo or any other pent-up pandemo-
mum than to seek rest with such a
droll erratic genius. What matters if
he is as tender and affectionate as over
was my mother. when, with a Slipper
in u hand, she loosed my breeches
with the other? l beg you to take
him away before l go distracted. Why,
this very day, while great guns were
being fired with deadly effect into
dense crowds of poor starving, 90-cents
per day laborers; and troops were
charging in mad fury, and the mob
were hurting brick bats with a skill I'M
surpassed by any other than my own
dear countrymen; with the dead and
dying falling in all directions, Judge
Eleazar sat indifferent, drinking his
iagar, and just as brave and cool as
any home guard. l swear | won't
stand it. Think of an unmoved stone,
II you can, when, all around, the poor
man, with wife and children clinging
TO him, is being dispatched to that
other staying place where they hunger
not, neither thirst. God knows what
little sympathy is, or ought to be, ex-
tended to the agrarian communist, in
cendiary mobocrat, and Heaven is
aware how little is given and how
much commisseration is due to the
honest laborer, struggling to support
a family upon 80 cents per osy, while
these railroads enjoy tie bounty-the
immense subsidies of the nation. The
papers all speak of the non paying
condition of the roads, and assign this
as a reason of cutting down the wages
of their employees. And this is the
logic OF facts, that each and all may be
tortured and so construed in justiica-
ton of the most damnable wrongs
upon the masses. The roads are roll.
ing in wealth-watered wealth, stolen
wealth, wealth such as is not known
of life insurance officials-aud
laborers starving. The poor ask
for bread and are given lead. The
ask a redress OF wrongs and the
call upon the Government
to assist in shooting them to death in
the presence of their ba~re-footed but
beloved children. / cannot go on; you
know it all. Where are the lands and
where the hopes of the poor? The
lands are owned by railroad rings, and
heir hopes are in-Heaven. #%%

An absconding debtor, who sloped
from Eureka in the hope of escaping
the unremitting and persistent impor-
tunities of his numerous creditors, was
interviewed at Palisdade on Thursday
morning by Deputy Sheriff Rabbits,
who induced him to proiong his visit
until he could effect a settlement with
the trusting friends he had left behind.
After considerable telegraphing, he
compromised his affairs by paying 90
cents on the dollar, and in conse-
quence of his reduced finances, took a
third-class passage on the eastward
bound train.

Two proprietors of rival livery

Corner Saloon the other evening dis
cussing the dull times and want of
customers, when one remarked: 81

"Did he die?" queried the other. "Die!

r ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
SAN FRANCISCO, August 3.
In the Ease Of the Eureka VS.. Rich
mond, this morning, Professor Whit
ney was put on the stan to testify as
to the quality of different metals and
ores and i'm what formation they are
found. The list Of additional wit
nesses called in the case were Reuben
Rickard and A. L. Titus. who were
called to testify as to titles. john NJ.
Williams, VIM. Dolan, w. ". Davis
and Professor Thos. Price testified as
experts on analysis. The case has
gone over until Monday next for ar
gument. The Court has allowed three
days at the outside to be occupied in
argument by both sides. The number
OF attorneys to speak and the length
Of time each be entitled to consume
within the three days has been agreed
between themselves. CARRIER and
Mesick argue for plaintiff aud Wilson
anu Wren for defendant, turn and turn
about. The Court want them to get
through in two days ii possible, but
will not give nor than three days. The
Court also wants counsel to state in
the beginning Of their arguments the
points upon which they are to speak
aud which they wish to establish.

tested in the result and, the impression
on the outside as we'll as on California
street appears To be that the Eureka has
made the best showing, notwiths,and-
ing the preponderance of testimony of
experts for the defendant. The ex-
pert testimony of the defendant makes
y much larger volume than that OF
plaintiff. But IL is the talk mons the
lookers-on that the Richmond experts
scattered badly on their theories,
lille the witnesses for the Eureka
were all agreed as To one immense
ledge passing through Ruby Hill. The
error in the Richmond map is also
thought by some to have been a seri
Gus mistake. Both sides OF the case
were tried carefully, but the
Eureka il admitted by all to have been
freest of blunders. These facts posi-
bly, induce the outside TO believe that
the latter has made the best showing,
How the Court will view these matters
is a very different thing, and 1t may
| readily be surmised hat the opinions
OF the judges are of more importance
to the litigants and public just now
than the views of the throng who have
been in attendance during the trial.
Both sides have their friends, though
the fact that Eureka is on the stock
board here, and better known to the
mining public, probably attracts the
largest following to That side of the
case. The Richmond side, however,
stands up manfully and is still conf
dent of winning. The belief is general
that the Court will render its decision
next week, probably Is early as Thurs
day.

The Meeting.

The meeting of 1.-Two two Johnny"
and his pal Burton. on the latter's re-
turn to the County Jail on Thursday
evening, was very affecting. The
many hardships, dangers and escapes
that these two scamps have undergone
in company, have established bonds of
friendship too strong to be broken by
any temporary separation, and it is
probable that their affection will en-
dure and grow, until, in loving COM
panionship, they wind their way Car
sonwards. Damon and Pythias will
find modern rivals in those traits for
which they were so justly celebrated.
