Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1878-03-19

Judging from the fiutter that charac-
terizes feminine circles, the busy notes
of preparation signaled forth by the
hum of the sewing machine in almost
every household, the constant calls
upon u resident dressmakers, and
the fact that there has been immense
sales of Merimac prints at the dry
goods stores ever since the
ment of the calico hop, we are led to
believe that there will be a large at
tendance at the hall this evening.
whether in calico or silks we will
wager that the aggregation of famale
loveliness will be immense, and we
warn all the old bachelors that the old
trulsm, d" Beauty unadorned is adorned
the most" will be proved again to
night. Sweet simplicity is a very
dangerous garb for the ladies to mas
querade In, especially when assumed
for the purpose OF b~ewildering and
captivating the opposite sex, and this
is one OF those occasions in which they
delight to fascinate without the aid of
rich costumes M brilliant a~dornInents.
Outside of the pleasures and allure
fnents promised, the event is one well
worthy OF patronage. 1t is a disgrace
tn us that the only literary resort we
can boast of should be allowed to Ian
guish and die a natural death for want
of encouragement. Placed under care
ful superintendence and fostered by
our public spirited men, it should
grow and become a means of culture
to the community. Still further, ac-
cess TO the library should be made free
TO all who desire to take advantage of
it. Every hour spent in the room is a
cigilizing Influence that results in a
direct benefit To the country at large,
aud the habits formed and strength
ened by these institutions are Of meal
cuIable advantage both to the individ-
ual and the masses. The interest once
awakened, the library could be
made the nucleus of a literary and de-
batting society, and a course of lectures
could be given under its auspices that
would broaden our knowledge and
contribute to our enlightenment on
many OF the great questions that are
agitating the nineteenth century. All
it needs is a movement in that direc.
ton by those who profess to be the
leaders, and if they are lukewarm or
decline on a plea that their material
interests engross them. they should
abdicate in favor of those who have
the welfare OF the town at heart. and
do not look upon the Base Range as

To the end, the festival and hop to

elder, Rev. w. C. Gray. This being
his first visit to our little town, he was
greeted by an unusually large audi
ence. The choir, which consists of Is
vocalists. and the accompaniment of an
organ and two flutes, makes an i'm
pressive and ~elevating feature of the
services, and we can safely say that it
Is not surpassed in the State.
After the conclusion OF the services,
the sacrament of the Lords Supper
was administered.
A prize fight occurred on the Hill

London ring, and witnessed by an EN-.
thusiastic assemblage. The combat.
ants were of about the same weight,
although presenting a marked differ
ence in stature. Seconds and bottle
holders were appointed; the men
stripped to the buff and sailed in. It
was a holly contested battle, lasting an
hour and a half, during which time Is
rounds were fought, and ended by the
taller party throwing up the sponge.
There was no money pending on the
result. the men fighting for glory. At
the conclusion all hands adjourned to
a neighbOring saloon and held high
revel by way of celebrating the amuse.

it impossible for the locomotive at

MT. YESuYII1s.

Should an eruption occur in this volca-
no, and cause the destruction of one-half
of the inhabitants who live in the vicini-
ty, the remainder who barely escape with
their lives, Immediately move back upon
the half cooled lava, and there live in
constant fear of another eruption, fool
ishly fancying that the only tenantable
portion of the earth rests within the
shadow of the great volcano. This fair
ly illustrates the force of habit, and the
persistency with which people cling to
opinions when once formed. For ex-
ample, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
cOvery cures incipient consumption
coughs, colds, and all affections of the
liver .and blood, yet some still depend
upon physicians and remedies that have
naught but repeated failures to which
they can refer. And although DR..
Pierce's Favorits Prescription is sold
under positive guarantee to cure these
weaknesses peculiar to women, and not
withstanding that thousands of women
bear testimony to its efficacy, and the
truth of all statements made concerning
it, many yet submit to the use of caustic
and the knife. Again, DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, no larger
than mustard seeds, will positively cure
constipation, where it is dependent up
on dyspepsia or torpid liver; yet some
still depend for relief upon the "blue
pill" or huge doses of drastic cathartie
medicine. In the face of such facts, can
we wonder at the blindness Of the pool
Italians?

Across my face, Sir,

And wait to find, Sir,

With manly courage, be it yea or nay.
