How 10 learn to swim.

Every boy and girl should learn t.
swim. A writer in the AmericaI
Agrjeuhurist offers the following sug-
gestions, by obedience to which the
art of swimming may be readily ac-
CURED:
When I was a boy I learned TO swim
by means of a swiming-board. This
is the safest method possible. Il
corks are used they may slip from
around the breast down beneateh ting
body, throwing the head below Ne
surface, and putting the wearef in
danger of drowning.
Some country boys get two blad-
ders and then tie them together with
a short cord and use these as supports.
They are the most dangerous things
possible for a boy to have.
The board is perfectly safe. and one
may learn to swim in a very shcrt time
10y using me-. It should be over four
fee: long, over a foot wide and two
inches thick, white pine or cedar
To use it, a boy wadts into the ws>
ter up to his shoulders, then taking
hold ufthe end Of the board he pushes
IL before him toward the bank, aud
not into deeper water-sprines for
ward with his feet aud throws himself
fat npon the water.
The movement carries him along a
few feet. He then draws up both his
legs at the same time, keeping the
knees as far apart as possible and
then strikes out with both feet, not
straight backward, but sideways, just
as a frog does.
Tie stroke is made slowly and is
repeated agau, drawing up the legs
and steadily. The board
keeps the head above water. When
the leg stroke has been learned, one
hand is taken from the board and the
stroke learned. or the chin may be
rested on the board while the stroke
is taken with both hands.
This is a very good plan, as it COM
pels the swimmer to keep his hands
the water which he should al
ways do. By-and-by the board may
De pushed ahead, and the young
WINNER may swim after it, and al
ways keeping it within reach. When a
humber Of boys go to swim they
always have two or three of
hese boards with them for use in case
If any accident.

ONLY WOMAN.

Only q woman, shrivelled and old,
The prey Of t~he.'w.rds, and the prey Of the
Geld!
Cheeks that are shruEken,
Eyes that are sunken,
Lips that were never o'erbold
Only a woman, forsaken and poor,
Asking an aim at the bronze church door.
Hark TO the organl roll upon roll,
The wsve Of It's music 90 over the souls
Silks rustic past her
Thicker and faster;
The great bell ceases it's toll.
Pain would she enter, but not for the poor
Swingeth wide open the bronze churcL door.
Only a woman--Waitlng alone,
Icily cold on an ice cold throne.
What do they care for her,
Aiumbling a prayer for her,
Giving 10 bread but a stone.
Under gold laces their naughty hearts beat,
BIocking the woes Of their kin in the street.
Only a woman In the older days
Hope carrOlled 70 her happiest lays;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her,
Somebody crowned her with praise ;
Somebody faced up the battles of life,
Strong for Ter sake who was mother or wife.
Somebody lies with q tress Of her hair
Light on his heart where the death shad-
Ows ere ;
Somebody waits for her,
Opening the gates for her,
Giving delight for despair.
Only a woman-nevermore poor
Dead in the SNOW at the bronze church door.

Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1878-12-19

Between Jimmy, at Fishes CONNECTION
cry. and the typos there has always existed
a cordial feeling. Jimmy appreciates the
good qualities Of the boys, and they have
had on divers occasions cause to recipro-
cate. They were placed under additional
obligations yesterday by the receipt of q
Christmas cake, which was unanimously
declared to be one Of the finest ever seen
by any of the SENTISEL's attaches. II
bears evidence Of Kohler's skill, and is
frosted and ornamented in the highest
style Of the art. 1t is surrounded by a
border Of vines and flowers, while in the
center stands q vase containing q beautiful
bouquet. At the foot Of the vase are cooling
turtle doves, and the words "a Merry
Christmas to the SENTINEL" form q circle
around it. Three swans, with gracefully
arched nccks, occupy positions outside OF
this circle. 1t is worth the time Of any
one desiring to invest in Christmas cakes
to call and examine it.

The Richmond Refinery will be in opera
ton about Friday.
The arch Of the Metamoras is being re-
paired.
G. II. Cook, formerly Of Tuscarora, has
taken charge Of the Parker House Restau-
rant.
A blacksmith, formerly employed at
Crowell's shop, named Thomas Kennedy,
has been missing since Saturday last.
The large blower at the Richmond was
put in operation yesterday. 1t worked az
well as before the fire, aud evidently suf-
fered no damage from it.
Wagon and blacksmith shops are kept
constantly employed building aud repair
ing. A fine coal wagon, for Sadler, has
just been finished at Browns.
Immense quantities Of toys and holiday
goods nave been brought to Eureka during
the past few days. As usual, where there
is competition the prices are low.
The new boiler at the Eureka still re-
mains in the position it has lain for some
days. 1t will BIO put in place early next
week.
The Constellation troupe were to have
returned yesterday, but failed to put in
their appearance. They will. appear on
Monday evening next.
The sum of Si4,SS9 81 has been for
warded by the County Treasurer TO the
State Treasurer, at Carson, being the semi
annual settlement.
Through some oversight the invitations
to the Eureka Social Club were not de-
livered until yesterday, although their ball
comes of tonight.

The Eur.ka Amateurs.

Thu arrangements for a performance by
the Eureka amateurs have been completed,
and 1t will be given at the Opera House ON
Christmas night. The hest local talent
has lesn engaged, among them a number
Of the disciples Of Blackstone, which will
lend additional interest to the entertain
ment. 1t will opep with the pleasing
drama Of don Cesar de Bazan," to be
followed by an olio. consisting Of ballads.
recitations, etc, by prominent ladies and
gentlemen Of our town, the whole to con-
clude with a slide-splitting farce. Harry
Collins deserves no little praise for the en-
ergetic manner in which he has labored to
bring the matter to a successful issue, and
we have no doubt his efforts will be re-
warded by a crowded house.

We are in receipt Of q note from the

days awaiting the Endorsement by Governor
Bradley of the requisition for his man.
The Sheriff is sanguine that he has the

will be on his way to Cheyenne with the
prisoner. We give Mr.. Patrick's note pre-
