He Chews Fine.Cut Now.

That delightful article, rhubarb,
which the small boy with a rusty ton
gue and bad breath is compelled to
swallow, is now put up in compressed
cakes, strongly resembling plug tobac-
CO. Yesterday a father sen his son
down to the drug store to procure
some of that delightful article. The
young hopeful had often been told by
his p~aternal ancestor that if he should
ever catch him using tobacco in any
form that he would whip him within
an inch of his life, a restriction that had
compelled him to chew on the sly.
The boy done his errand, and on his
return home dove down in his pocket,
and sorted out of the miscellaneous
collection contained therein, the oblong
shaped piece of rhubarb, and handed
it over to his "dad." The old gentle
man took it to the light, looked it over,
smelled of it, and then, seeming pos
sessed with a new idea, stepped to the
place where a good sized rawhide was
kept on file. There was weeping and
wailing, and that bad boy had his
jacket tanned until there was no dust
left in it. AS the blows came shower
ing down he realized his fatal blunder
in confounding his plug of black-strap
with the rhubarb package. He chews
fiue-cut now,

Hun. n Ghinaman.

On Sunday last a party of Italians
gathered at Alpha, attracted thither by
the inducement held out by the Rail-
road Company of half fare to Eureka
and the circus. They managed to put
in a very lively day, whisky and fight
ing occupying most of their time. Just
before the arrival of the passenger
train one of their number claimed to
have lost a watch, and suspicion fall
ing upon a Chinaman, they organized
a lynching party. A rope was pro
cured, fastened around the poor dew
IFS neck, and he was hoisted up to a
telegraph pole. After choking him
until he was black in the face, he was
lowered, but failing to give any infor-
nation in regard to the ticker, the
amusement was repeated. No confess
sion was extorted, and they finally
desisted, leaving the Celestial to crawl
off more dead than alive. On getting
aboard the passenger train, they start
ed to run it, threatening to put Con-
ductor Kicker off, but Ed. is not the
kind of a man to be easily bluffed; in
consequence of which fact the party of
roughs became as quiet as lambs and
talked no more fight during the trip.

A RlOOdless Battle,

Our reporter, in company with a
hundred spectators, Witnessed a lively
bout at fisticuffs Sunday evening on
Buel street, in the rear of a prominent
saloon. Two men came out of the
back door, apparently on amicable
terms, when suddenly, and without
shaking hands, according to the rules
of the prize ring, they struck out and
administered to each other some very
heavy blows. The smaller of the two
seemed the sturdier, and c~linching
with his antagonist threw him to the
ground, himself On top, and began the
apparently pleasing task of chewing
off the big mans ear. By this time
the under man succeeded in struggling
to his feet, and by a well directed kick
landed the amateur cannibal clear
across the street. The latter in turn
got up, and the two stood about ten
feet apart, each striking u at an i'm.
aginary adversary, and daring each
other to come IN. This lasted for
about ten min utes, much to the disgust
of the crowd and the reporter, all of
whom were thirsting for gore and a
thrilling sensation. A law abiding cit
izen propounded the conundrum,
Where is the officers" and at the
mention of hat dread term, both of
the principals turned pale, and started
down the street in the same direction.
Whether they renewed hostilities in a
more quiet spot we failed to learn, but
as no dead bodies were found in town
afterward, we surmise that they de-
ciared a truce, and concluded that grim
war was not exactly their forte.

Reunion of the Miners.

The Enterprise of the 18th says :
The miners of this city, Gold Hill and
Silver City, turned out in strong force
yesterday afternoon on the occasion OF
their annual reunion. The members of
the three Unions marched in procession
through the principal streets of this
city and Gold Hill, and presented a
good, solid appearance. The majority
are men in the prime of life, and even
those beyond middle age have a rug.
ged and hardy look. In the procession
were three bands of music, and at the
head were carried the Stars
and Stripes and banners of the
Union. The music, the banners and
the long line of marching men gave an
appearance of life and hustle to the
town and attracted throngs of specta-
tors everywhere. AT the hall many
speeches were made and casts drunk,
the sentiments of which were calculat-
ed to keep alive in the breasts of menu
bers a proper feeling of brotherly re
gard, and to inspire all to faithfully
labor for the welfare of che ~organiza-

Thriyes In Confnement.

Some six weeks ago Chas. Fisk,
while on a visit to Murphy's Camp,
CAL, procured a number OF handsome
specimens, and among the curiosities
that he brought back with him on his
return was a tarantulas nest, and occu-
pant, a healthy and ugly specimen of
the spider species. Clay Simms, to
whom it was donated, removed it from
the nest, and transferred it TO a four
ounce vial, where it has remained aver
since, and at the present writing is as
lively as on the day of its capture. II

rious d~elicacies offered, and is as COM
bative as a game cock, striking its
fangs at the fingers of anyone handling
its glass prison house. How long it
will exist in confinement is not possi-
BILE to tell, but it looks as if it thrived
in its circumscribed quarters. 1t is a
lovely pet, and as pretty as adevil-fish.

THE CIRCUS.

b streets of Eureka Yesterday
morning presented a lively appearance.
The sidewalks were thronged with
crowds of sight.seers, and every avail
able perch and balcony was appropri-
ated by the fair sex, all anxious to wit
ness the grand parade promised by the
proprietors of the grand circus. The
pageant proved as attractive and mer-
itorious as was expected. The process
sion was headed by the golden band
chariot, drawn by five span of gray
horses. Following this came the herd
of elephants, arrayed in trappings of
gold and velvet. In the rear was about
40 wagons containing wild birds and
beasts. The carnival characters were
laughable features, and the turnout ok
celled that of Montgomery Queens,
last year. The tents were pitched on
the vacant ground to the south of the
Richmond, and with the side shows
and stables and dining rooms, filled all
the available space. The afternoon
performance was largely attended, and
IN the evening the tents were crowded.
The show gave excellent satisfaction,
and embraced many new and daring
feats. The riding act of William Dut-
ton was graceful, and drew arne ap-
plause. Messrs. Hawley and Fore
paugh's /" flying in the air" was a dar.
ing act. John Hart and Tom Barry, as
clowns, filled up all waste spots in
time by their brilliant witticisms.
Mile Burdeau in an equestrian act was
very clever. John Ajax, the timber
man, had evidently been run through
a fish bone machine. Frank Melville,
in his b~are-backed equestrian act, re.
ceived hearty plaudits. The perform
ing elephants were n of the great
features, and manifested wonderful in
stinct under the mahipulations of A.
Forepaugh, Jr. The entire entertain
ment WAS satisfactory. The strongest
feature of the outfit is the menagerie,
and an hour can be passed very pleas
antly examining the collection. A per-
Torrance will be given both this after
noon and evening.

New IHoisIing works.

The Hoosac Company has been re-
organized on a solid financial basis,
and the directors have authorized Mr..
Wermuth to make all the necessary
arrangements to thoroughly prospect
and develop the property. He will
leave for San Francisco about the first
OF next week, for the purpose of pur-
chasing machinery for hosting works,
etc. The Hoosac is a grand old mine,
and under Superintendent Wermuth's
management will undoubtedly become
N of the best properties in the dis
trict.

tame TO the Circus.

We knew it. Bets were offered and
not taken that Eugene Blair would
come to the circus. Sure enough Sun
day nights stage brought him, and he
and Bony Immediately left for the
tenting grounds. The elephants cap
tured him and he was as happy as a
school boy all day yesterday. We
tried to get some information from him
in regard to the Hillside mine, but
finally gave up in despair and con-
cluded to wait until Forepaugh left
town. We are little doubtful of ac-
complishing it sven then, as the boys
say that it is two to one that Eugene
follows it off. We noticed one fact, that
our old friend was looking robust and
healthy, and evidently mining agrees
with him.

A Group of solid Men.

Ned McSorley received last week a
photograph of a group of the promi-
nent citizens of Grass Valley, Cal, and
has had the picture framed. There are
many old residents of that locality liv-
ing in Eureka, VINO will be interested
in examining the same, and they will
recognize many familiar faces. The
most OF those whose portraits have
been p~erpetuated, belong to that class
known a. solid citizens, and the ag
gregated wealth of the gentlemen is
enormous, running up into the mil
lions. The picture can be seen at the

The cry OF fire aroused our citizens
from their SAUNDERS about 3 o'clock
yesterday morning, and the bright
glare of the flames showed that an ex-
tensive copiagration was in progress.
The locality proved to be in the nest of
wooden buildings on Buel street, north
of Bateman, and it had gained consid-
cradle Roadway before the water was
turned on. 1t was wonderful, taking
into account the early hour that the
alarm was given, to witness the rapid
ity with which the Fire Department
reached the scene, and the celebrity that
characterized them in eXtinguishing
b fire. 1t is another instance of the
town being saved a disastrous infic-
ton, the same being averted by the
efficiency and ability of the fire brig
ade. Fortunately no wind was blow
ing at the time, and in a few moments
the water done its work, and the dan
ger was over The fire originated in a
small dwelling house occupied by a
coIored man named Wesley Hemphill.
At the time of our arrival on the scene,
the flames were confined to the inter-
Tor OF that building. All rumors as to
its ~incendiary origin have 10 founda-
ton in fact, and the cause can prob
ably be attributed to a defective tove-
pipe. This house and one in the rear
were completely Quilted, and Mr..
Lock woods stable adjoining, was
somewhat damaged. Hemphill's
building was insured for 5000 in the

Messrs. w. p. Haskell & Co., since
their removal to their new and COM
modious warerooms, are enabled to
display their immense stock to consid-
cradle more advantage than in the
cramped and confused quarters where
they had heretofore done business.
Although not yet completely settled in
the new establishment, their splendid
assortment already looms up, and
when everything is set to rights they
will have the largest and handsomest
furniture house in the State. Besides
an elegant assortment of wall paper,
glass ware, paints, oils, etc., they are
in receipt, direct from Eastern manu-
facturers, of bedroom and parlor sets,
Office fittings. and furniture Of every
grade and style. Buying by the car
load, they receive it at this point before
it is put together, and employ skillful
and competent workmen to complete
it. BY this means, they get it at the
lowest freight rates and can undersell
San Francisco houses. The durable
Eastern woods, worked up into the
latest styles, are thus utilized, and the
Eureka public have the advantage of
choosing from the latest fashions. In
a few days the firm will have an exhi-
bition in their warerooms, samples of
every conceivable article necessary for
the wants of householders, and our
citizens are invited to make a visit of

ed the Fee.

from this point, a popular clergyman
was called on to perform the wedding
ceremony twice in one evening, max
ing w couples happy. Strange to
say in both Instances, the bridegrooms
Jailed to donate the customary fee. The
Reverend did not grumble at the omis-
sion, but he thinks it rather rough that
he should have TO settle with the Re-
corder for placing the marriages on
file in that office. 1t would raise 'Old
Nick" with his limited income if he
was rushed in the matrimonial line.

The Fire Alarm sunday Evening.

The Fire Alarm Sunday Evening.
There was a fire alarm Sunday wen
ing, and in one minute Main street was
the Understanding thoroughfare in
the country. The firemen were out
with their machines in a surprisingly
short space of time, but could find no
foe to battle. A reporter is supposed to
know everything, and, as we took a
commanding position On the Jackson
House corner, we were asked by 1323
excited individuals where that con-
fiagration was raging. We knew all
the time, but we impaired no informa-
ton, preferring to keep the item for the
benefit of the SENTINEL. The locality
was District Attorney Merrill's hat.
The origin of the flames is unknown,
and the sufferer is at a loss to account
for it. When first discovered, he was
at the Postoffice, and remarked to a
friend that it was a very warm night,
at the same time removing his tile to
wipe the perspiration from his brow.
To his great surprise, he found it in a

woodwork where he cast it. A stream

not, however, until the structure was
burned TO the floor. Unfortunately,

ticle, and it is a total loss. Damages,
