In n Hurry.

A private letter FROM San Francisco
makes some reference to the big suit.
The writer is an outside friend of the
Eureka. He says: sour side and the
Court were fully agreed on hurrying
up the proceedings. The Richmond
was disposed to move along more
leisurely." We may add that the at
torneys of the Eureka did not avail
themselves of their privilege under
the agreement to introduce witnesses
in rebuttal. which is another indication
that they we're in a hurry.

THE MYSTERY OF MURRY CREEK

lFrem the White Pine News of Saturday.
Every traveller who during the past
six years has rode over the route lead
ing from Hunter toward the eastern
portion of White Pine county, has no.
ticed during the summer months the
well-cultivated garden on hurry
Creek. which beautiful stream flows
into Steptoe Valley. Generally. a little
old, dried up Frenchman could be seen
working in this garden late and early,
who could talk no language Ineligible
to any one, and to whom no commits
sion of lunacy would refuse a diploma
to Woodbridge. He had squatted on
about two acres of land and Enclosed it
with a neat and close sagebrIsh fence,
built thereon a little stone hut, fur.
nislied with little round PORTFOLIOS
near the roof. The land belonged to u
neigbboring farmer, but as the little
old Frenchmsn was i~notfensive and
did the farmer no material injury, he
was allowed to cultivate his garden
year at er year unmolested. When
travellers or residents of the neighbor-
ing town of Mineral City wanted vege-
tables the old man understood 1.-TWO
bits" or ''six bits" and furnished the
crispest of lettuce and the most succn.
lent radishes in exchange. And so
year after year passed away, and the
little crazy F~renchman'' became a
fixture on hurry Greek.
But a few non tbs g a terrible ira.
gedy occurred at Mineral City. a few
miles this side of the two acre farm of
Little F%renchy," and after he had
! seen a number of excited men pass
from Ward and other points in buggies
and on horseback, and not under
standing what AL this wild commo-
ton meant. he finally ventured up the
road to town, and there he saw the
cause of all the excitement, which was
no less than the CHASTITY corpse of
Matt. Gleason. who had that day been
cruelty murdered by John Roach.
Gleason. during his life time. had done
some kind act that endeared him to
the little Frenchman, and when he be-
held his dead body, he grew wild and
demonstrative at the sight, aud after
dropping on his knees and uttering
some mysterious incantations over the
l~ifeless body of his former friend, he
departed from the house and from that
moment has not been seer or heard of.
The little two-acre farm has gone to
ruin and decay, the fence has fallen
down, and owls and bats inhabit the
little stone hut, but where the little
crazy Frenchman has drifLed to no one
knows.

How They Stormed Lauderss
Capital.

Thursdays Rereiiie has the follow
ing concerning the arrival in Austin of
a couple of well-known Base Rangers:
"John Dennis and Tom Laspeyere ar
rived from Eureka about 5 o'clock last
evening. They came in a beautiful
carriage, which was studded all over
with solid silver m%ounlings and pure
gold buttons. and which bore on one
side the family crest OF Laspeyere aud
on the other the armorial bearings OF
Dennis. 1t was drawn by two milk
white steeds in harness of white kid,
mounted with silver. The outfit was
met at tie summit by a brass and
quadrille band and a delegation of the
Safety Committee, and escorted to the
pest-llouse. where sumptuous apart
ments had been provided for the dis
tinguished visitors. After performing
their ablutions and refreshing their in
ner man at all the bars in town, the
pilgrims from the Base Range went
around town shaking hands with old
friends. 1t Is nearly three years since
Mr.. Dennis was in Austin, and though
he was readily recognized by all his
old friends, many who bad not seer
him in the interval remarked a great
change for the better in his appear
ance. lie has grown stout and portly,
and numbers of acquaintance re-
marked that they had never seen him
looking so we'll. He attributes his
gain in flesh to the ~fattening qualities
of the arsenic in the fumes from the
Eureka smelling furnaces. Mr.. Dem
mis- WAS for a long time a resident OF
Austin, and was formerly n of the
proprietors of the ReUeiite, and. know
ing nearly every body here. he feels
like anything but a stranger in Austin.
We believe this is Mr.. Laspeyere's first
visit to this town. They are only out
on a little pleasure trip, and have no
evil designs on anybody; so hat the
police surveillance being exercised
over them Is thrown away"

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 2G.

A MURpERoUs SEA FLoWER.-One of the
exquisite wonders of the sea is called the
opeiet, and is about as large as the German
aster, looking, indeed, very much like one.
Imagine very large double aster, with great
many long petals Of light green color, glossy
as satin and each one tipped with rose COLOR
These lovely petals do not llo quietly 10 thelr
places, but wave about on the water, while the
opeiet clings to rock. How innocent ana
lovely it looks % its rocky bed Who would
suspect that it would cat anything grosser than
dew or sunlight? But those beautiful waving
arms, as YOU call them, have use besides look
ing pretty; they have to provide for large,
open mouth, which is hidden down deep
among them-so hidden that one can scarcely
find it. Well do they perform their duty, tor
the instant a foolish little fish touches one OF
the rosy tips lie is struck with poison as fatal
to him as lightning. lle Immediately becomes
numb, and 10 4 moment stops struggling, and
then the other arms wrap themselves around
him, and he is drawn into the huge, greedy
mouth, and is seen no more. Then the lovely
arms unclose and wave again in the water
