We are gratified to welcome back to
our city our distinguished fellow citi-
zen. Gen. John b. Hood, who returns
from q tour through Texas. where he
had the pleasure and pride OF attending
the recent reunion OF the veterans OF the
Hood Brigade at Waco. We have read
with great interest and qualification the
full report OF the proceedings at this re-
union, and especially the speeches OF
Gen. Hood and of Cen. Logan, OF Vir-
einia, which were in the highest tone
patriotic.
Gen. Hood, during his recent visit,
traversed large portion OF the State
OF Texas, and he reports that he never
saw H6er crops. more abundant and
profitable harvests, or greater activity
end hopefulness pervading all classes
of that thriving and growing State.
Some time since the city authorities OF
st. Louis proposed to levy special
license tax on all practicing attorneys
Of $50 per annum. Whereupon the Sec
rotary of the Bar Association addressed
letters to the mayors of the different
Northern cities inquiring II such tax
was imposed by their respective mu'
nicipal governments. The mayors OF
New York, Chicago, Cincinnati and
Philadelphia replied that no such tax
was imposed, and the mayor OF Louis
Vile said that such an one had been
exacted in that city, but was declared
unconstitutional. This question has been
tested here, and decided otherwise. we
believe, yet it is subject that needs
revisal at the hands of our city govern,
ment. There should be no tax on labor
whether professional or mechanical,
The other day a gentleman. engaged In
a manufacturing business giving EN-.

wrote to one ofour city papers claiming
that his license taxes, on himself and
his employees. were so heavy as to com.

doning his enterprise. This Is all wrong
grievously wrong, and it should be i'm

The Sawtelle Troupe finished their
weeks engagement at Bigelow's Hall
last evening, on which occasion the
play of Uncle Toms Cabin was given.
The rendering of that celebrated
piece passed off very smoothly, and
gave fair satisfaction. A mistake that
most of the travelling troupes make,
and one that has been very plainly
proven during the weeks perform
ance, is the too ambitious flights of
the theatrical compares who favor us
with a visit. Our citizens are cosmo-
politan, ard the population - drawn
from all quarters of the globe. Very
few OF h theater goers among us but
what have at some former time wit
messed the performance of the stand
ard dramas, comedies, etc, in the
cities, with all the accessories of mag
nificent scenery, elegant costumes, and
the realistic illusions that obtain on
metropolitan boards, and when they
attend the Hall in Eureka, the con-
trast is SO glazing. n the actors So
much below the ordinary standard,
that the most uniavorable comparisons
arc drawn. The attempt. to play such
pieces as East Lynne, Camille, Uncle
Toms Cabin, Rip Van Wrinkle. etc.
scarcely rise above 4 burlesque OF
those standard dramas. Mr.. Sawtelle
is an actor of considerable ability, aud
carries the burden of the organization
on his shoulders. One or two others
of the Company are fair, but the bal
ance OF the troupe have evidently mis-
taken their vocation. or course, one
must not expect hat the actors and
actresses will rival the stock company
at the California Theater, but if they
will persist in producing plays SO
much above their capacity, they mus
ex pect unfsvorable criticism, and
what Is more to the Point, slim houses.
We venture to say that il light com
edies, ~farces, ETC., had comprised the
programme during the season, the re-
suits to the treasury of the company
would have been much more salts

WHITE PINE ITEMS.

The subjoined items are from the
News of yesterday:
We notice that the stock of the Star
mine at Cherry Creek has been placed
on the California Board. 1t evidently
feels uneasy among the wild animals
that are turned loose there every after
noon. This we judge by its founder
ing about like a fish out of water,
ranging from 81 to $40. The mine has
60 200 shares, with a large body OF
high grade ore in sight.
We learn that an important strike
was made a few days ago in the lower
workings of the Jennie A mine, which
fully sets at rest the uncertainty under
which the management has been
laboring for some time in regard to
continuation and enlargement of the
vein in the depth.
We would call the attention of the
County Commissioners to the fact
that by the removal of Messrs. Liddle
and Pardy, the Board Of School Trust
ees is left without a quorum.

AUTHORS AND OTHERS,

In our last we introduced the nam,

played by him with distinguished

Davenport was the best we have ever
seen, except Forrest, but his three
score years" had left him unequal Ia
the immense physical strain required
for the part. McCullough's attempt is
! mere murder-the creature of expen-
sive puifs and glazing advertising.
Conrad, who was elected first Mayor
OF the incorporated city, was the son
of Alderman Conrad of the Northern
Liberties, or Frankiord District, OF
Philadelphia. He was a finished
scholar. an eloquent lawyer, and a flu
ent writer. He was one of the county
judges for some terms, and associated
with Geo. w. Barton, afterward
drowned at San Francisco. They had
both fallen from grace, Conrad the
most finished, and Barton the most
polished advocate of the Philadelphia
bar, became confirmed inebriates, and
lost their first estate. The Washing
tonian" movement reformed Conrad,
who was elected Mayor of the city, and
1 have seen the gifted author of Ayl-
mere. the Broker of Bogota ETC., drilling
police squads in Independence square,
and directing his forces at fires. The
last time | remember to have seen him
vas delivering an address on the com.
pletion of the first Atlantic cable, in
which he used words to this effect /:
We are rejoicing today on the union
of the continents, but the day is not
far distant when the people of America
will say that daily steamers and the
Atlantic cable are the worst curses that
have fallen on the country. When u
children, taught the religion of our
fathers, and imbued with a veneration
for their morals, by quick and cheap
communication shall lose that mora
tone by foreign association. When
ambitious parents, sending their off
spring abroad to be taught at foreign
schools, shall be the means of carrying
back to our shores a tone of morals
subversive of the whole status of So
ciety, and the foundation on which
our whole structure has been erected"
The Judges reformation was not per-
manent, and his resolutions Of reform
but ropes of sand. and he died at an
early age. He was a handsome, light
haired man, of fiorid complexion, and
with the physique of a high liver. His

most successful of dramatic creations,

Hunting Party.

Aleck. Mckay, Alderman Haley,
Tom REILLY and John Baker returned
Friday evening from a very successful
hunt in the neighborhood of Shipley's
ranch. To listen to their stories as to
the amount of game brought down by
their unerring shotguns one would be-
lieve that they are all mighty hunters.
but there is some discrepancy i'm their
accounts. Aleck, the modest man OF
the party, swore to 43 ducks, and lis
rabbits. Tom REILLY figured the game
at 70 maliard and 2l3 long ears. Tom
Haley put the webfeet down at l42, and
the hares al something over 400, while
Baker makes affidavit to five wagon
loads, beside any quantity left to
spoil. Tom REILLY WAS the most fortu-
nate Of the party. While cautiously
crawling up to a little lake, half a
mile above Shipley's, he espied two
bears disporting themselves in II 9
pelucid waters. He gazed at the spec
tacle until his natural timidity over
came him, when he hastily retired to
camp for reintorcements. . nexplain-
ing to his comrades the nature of his
discovery they rushed frantically to
the scene, and arrived at the borders
Of the pond only to find that the game
had retired to some secret hiding
place, and their efforts to discover the
retreat was futile. An interview with
Tommy Haley will satisfy the most
skeptical of the truth of the above.
That gentleman by some supernatural
instinct was enabled to determine the
sex Of the bathers.

There are a few careless miners on
Ruby Hill who have not yet united
with the Union. The Union does moi
desire to be rash about the matter, and
above all 1t wishes 10 avoid precipitat'
ing trouble of any kind in the district.
With the ,iew of giving all non. union
men the utmost latitude, an official no
tice appears in this mornings SENTI.
MEL, extending the time for joining
the Union t. November 18th. New
comers. in the camp are allowed to get
in a full months work before being
required to join. The initiation fee is
IS, and the monthly dues 81. Any
member who gets sick Is allowed <12
per week, and in case of death $40 Is
set apart for funeral expenses. All of
the unions in the State have lately af-
filiated and consolidated. Members OF
the Union on Ruby Hill are equally
members of all other unions in the
State; that Is to say, that a miner leav
ing Ruby Hill for the Comstock can
enter the union there without the
trouble and expense of a second initia-
ton. In fact, union men are banded
together all over the State, n 1t is
their fixed purpose to stand or fall in q
body. The organization is the strong
est in the State. 1t Is also one Of the
very best and most charitable. A
union man receiving injuries In a mine
is no longer a burden to the company,
the union assuming all necessary ex-
penses. In this regard the organiza-
ton Is a great benefit to the companies.
All things considered, we cannot for
the life of us see why any miner work.
ing for wages should refuse to become
a member of a society that does SO
much for his protection and interest.
In many cases, we are told, 1t Is more
the result of negligence than anything
else. But this will not avail in the flu
ture. The order to take effect No
vember 18th means business, and it
will be enforced at all hazards. Mat
ter- are now running smoothly, and to
n possible trouble every miner
on Ruby Hill should become q men,
