look of Winuemucca briefly at this
writing. Quite number of new build.
ings are now being erected and prepar-
atoms are being made for the erection
OF others. Considerable inquiry is
made for lots, not only by strangers,
but by residents of different parts of the
county. There is a universal feeling iu
the community that an era Of prosperity
is at hand. None have any further
doubts or miSgivings as to the great
value of the Paradise mines. Where.
ever work Is being done in those mines
rich developments are made. and if
they continue to develop satisfactory

MEXICAN DOLLARS,

What Gov. Fall says About Them.
Last week John H. Bush, of Union.
vile. while on a visit to Tuscarora was
arrested upon the charge of passing
counterfeit Mexican dollars. He was
examined and discharged by the Federal
authorities. Mr.. Bush stated that the
few Mexican dollars in his possession
were received by him from John c..
Fall, of Unionviile. One of the sup.
posed-to.be counterfeit dollars was as
sayed in Tuscirora and found to con-
tain more silver than the standard
American dollar. Now Governor Fall
whose name was brought prominently
before the public in connection with
Mexican dollars. writes us as follows:
THE general impression is that
have been specializing in Mexican dol
lars; but such is not the case. For
many years Mexican dollars have been
purchased at a premium for shipment
to China. Cinnamon understand their
value and prefer them to trade dollars
or United States silver coin of any de-
nomination. The amount paid out
here at Unionville has been from $500
to l,0O0 a month. principally 10 China
men, who take them in preference to
American coin -

The trial of Mrs Dodson, Philip Vincent
and William Newcombe, charged with an
attempt to murder negro named James
Jones, was concluded at New Castle, Del, on
Wednesday, the jury bringing in a verdict of
not guilty. The negro was shown to be I'M
worthy of belief, and the reputation of the
prisoners was proved to be excellent. The
negro had undoubtedly been beaten and shot
and it is difficult to believe that he attempted
to take his own life. The case is still wrap
ped in mystery.
Miss Ella Hearn, who was shot by Miss
Lille Duer at Pocomoke City, the other day,
has jlst died from the effects of her injuries
The bullet from Miss Duer's revolver passed
into Miss Hearns mouth and lodged in her
neck. 1t was at first thought that the shoot
ing was accidental, but since Miss Duer's
flight, in male attire, the authorities have
been looking into the matter.
"A murderer in Delaware has been sen
fenced to pay fine of 81 900, to stand one
hour in the pillory, to receive sixty ashes
and to be imprisoned for life. H. G. Brown,
convicted of manslaughter in having wilfuly
wrecked train, whereby four lives were
lost, has been sentenced to pay fine of
$4,000 and to imprisonment for five years.

same with coal oil lanterns. We take them into
our barns and do not pay for the privilege
Therefore, although the risk is increased by the
use of steam threshers, the risk Is necessary and
insurance companies must accede to their use.
First-class Insurance companies now grant per-
mlts to use them without extra charge.
James Lee thought their use should not vitiate
policy, but there Is some additional risk and
we should pay for it.
George Z. Silver said Mr.. Archer expressed his
views. If companies allow coal oil lamps to go
into barns they should also allow steam thresh-
ers. Their use should not vitiate policy.
Johns II. Janney also agreed with Mr.. Archer,
and said that the time was coming when farmers
would not only thresh by steam, but have
steam engine to do their grinding, saw wood,
DC. There is not so much danger from steam
threshers as from people sleeping about barns
while threshing with horse powers. Insurance
companies can protect themselves by licensing
competent engineers. There is a little more
risk than from horse power, but not enough to
yitiate policy or to make 1t fair to pay more
for the risk.

cussion MIR. Lochary's farming operations, &C.,

Messrs. Moores James Lee and Hays, who re-
ported that they found everything in capital Or

hams were very superior and would do credit to
Kentucky blue grass man. Among them Is
Queen of Talbot, one of the finest pure Short
Horn cows in the State, and the imported bull
Lord Clan Charlie, remarkably fine animal
The stock cattle were well selected and bought
at a fair price. There was nothing the club could
complain of except that he had too much hay.
His corn crop was large and fine. Mr. Lee
thought the Durhams were as fine as any he had
ever seen in Kentucky or elsewhere.
Upon the suggestion of Mr.. g. e. Silver, a
statement was given by each member of the
yield of his corn crop, from which it appeared
that the fourteen active members present had
raised 1853 barrels of corn on 1877 acres, or an
average of about II 1-G barrels to the acre
The highest yield was 1511G barrels and the low

Stirring up Strife.

The promised speech of Senator Blaine on
the late Southern elections, was delivered in
the Senate on Wednesday. 1t abounded in
the old charges of fraud and intimidation of
the colored voters, and its object, it was
evident, was to stir up sectional hatred The
burden of his speech was that the Repubi-
cans have not more representatives in Con-
gress from the South, and he makes the pre-
posterous claim that the negroes of the South
are all Republicans, and therefore should
have more representatives than they have
He does not admit that any changes of opn-
ion have taken place among the colored
voters, but having once been Republicans
they all continue in that political faith
Mr.. Blaine said that if the Republicans had
what they were entitled to in the South the
Democrats would neither have the present
nor the next House of Representatives
Taking Mr.. Blaine's own arguments for what
they are worth, give TO Democrats represen-
tation according to their relative strength in
the North, and their majority both in this
and in the next House would be twice or
three times as much.
Senator Thurman replied to Mr.. Blaine,
and said that there was deliberately formed
purpose, under pretext that there was a solid
South, to create a solid North, to rule not
only the solid South, but to rule one-half
nearly, ifnot more, of the people of the North.
He laid bare Mr.. Blaine's specious pleading,
and referred to the fact that tie Republicans
have the vast machinery of superintendent
OF elections, marshals, supervisors, SC, paid
out of the treasury of the United States as
an answer to Mr.. Blaine's charge that the
negroes were intimidated.
Mr.. Lamar also replied to Mr. Blaine, and
pointed to the fact than one man in New
England exerted through the representation
of that section in the Senate as much power
rs twenty men in New York and other pop
ulous States, and warned Mr.. Blaine that
when he was complaining that one man in
some of the States of the South had as much
voice as two in some States of the North, he
was stirring up troubled waters.
The people of this country will scarcely be
deceived in regard to the object of Mr. Blaine
in stirring up sectional strife. They know
as well as he does, that when the entire
country is at peace there will be nothing left
for the Republican party to do, and when it
ceases to exist, Mr.. Blaine and other agita-
tors will be sent to the rear The country
wants peace and prosperity; and prosperi-
ty will not come until peace is permanently
established between all sections of our great
country

OLD FoLKs.-In the absence gilmore ex-
citing news, the papers have been looking
up centenarians, and several are reported to
have been found. 1t is singular fact, too,
that nearly all of these are aged colored indi-
viduals.
A Baltimore BsRetiu reporter has discov-
cred the Oldest man in the world. He is
colored man, named William Scott, living
in Baltimore, who claims to be 149 years old.
The old man says he was born in Calvert
county, Md; was captured by the Indians in
1775, but released through the instrumental
ty fhis master, Col. Hoskins. Subsequently
he was employed by General Howe, the Eng
lish General, who took him to England, where
he remained 33 years. Ofcourse he had often
seen General Washington, but he did not cor
roborate the Ratchet story. An old gentleman
named Disney, n years of age, informed the
reporter that he had known Scott since he
can remember, and his father always spoke
of Scott as man of middle age when he was
boy. Mr.. Disney expresses the fullest be-
lief in SCOTS great age.
