SHER NAN ON THE FINANCES.

Sherman and the members OF the
Finance Committee was held this morn

far to become the basis Of such COM
promise between the moderate men on
both sides of current financial Questions
as will give the country settled finan-
cial policy. Sherman requested that his
remarks be treated as made in conf
dence, but information has been gained
to show that he placed before the Com.

agitation was suspended by the imitation
lists, be professed bis readiness to offer
two concessions-making greenbacks re-
ceivable for custom dues and providing
for the issue of certificates upon silver
bullion at no coinage value, under
proper restrictions. Sherman's osten-
sible Object in appearing before the Com
mittee was to protest against the repeal
of the Resumption Act, the House bill
for that purpose being before the Com
mittee. In his statement he showed

nothing remained to be done but legis-

millions of gold on hand free of encum-

Gates, and every prospect existed that
this sum could be raised to one hundred
millions. Tbs Silver bill he was now
inclined to regard as blessing in dis

making the proposal already outlined

NEVADA RAILROADS,


Eureka republican.
The coming season promises to be a
most important one for Nevada. At
present the real extent OF her many in.
terests is but very partially known. The
coming Summer BIDS fair to do much to
open them up. This is to be done
chiefly by the construction OF new rail-
roads. First. we will mention that, by
means of a private letter from one en-
gagged in railroading and in the secrets
"of the powers that be-" we are in
formed that the Central Pacific will COM
plete the projected Nevada Central Rail.
road as far as Austin this season. Such
was the determination reached through
the recent survey made from Battle
Mountain and at the conference Of Stan
ford and Crocker, Tuesday last, with the
Eastern magnates. The design is to
push the road directly on through the
heart of Nevada and utimatly to south.
ern connection. Another project which
is likely to be pushed to completion this
SEASON is the extension of the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad Boulevard, either
from Carson, rs the survey was origin
ally made, or from some point nearer
Virginia, as the Mound House. Should
the latter be selected. there will be a
short cut made before long from Vir-
ginia to some point on the Central
Pacific. thus completing the connec-
ton more directly with that road.
There are many crude speculations in
counection with this which nave not yet
assumed defiui.e shape, but which are
important. We may speak Of them
hereafter. By the foregoing the central
and western portions of Nevada will be
opened up. What OF ast'rn N~vada?

PERPETUAL MOTION ACCOMPLISHED -
A magnetic CLOCK, invented by Daniel
Darwbaugh, of Milltown. Cumberland
county, Pennsylvania, is sufficiently
remarkable to be worth description. The
magnetism Of the earth,, an inexhaust-
able source OF power. is made to oscil
late the pendulum; and the simplicity of
all the works gives an assurance of the
least possible friction. At q c-rtain
point the pendulum itself shut off mag
netic connection with the earth, and at
another point restore the connection.
thus securing the conditions necessary
to produce its oscillations. The works
are so ingenious and simple that it is no
wild assertion to make that, were it not
for the unavoidable wearing out caused
by even the smallest amount of friction,
the clock would run as long as the solid
earth endures. This clock is hung
against a broad partition, with all the
works exposed. subject to the Earrings OF
machinery and INSTRUCTIONS from dust
settling upon it. yet since March 1st.
1877, it has been running continuously
and uniformly, with only slight varia
tions, as tested by transit observations
at noon. / Harrisburg Telegraph.

An Austin man who recently returned
from visit to the East. IN speaking of
his journey on the cars, says that in trav-
cling over such long distance by rail-
road man has many opportunities of
observing the unpleasant features of
married life-of seeing sulky husbands
and petulant wives making public ex-
hibitions OF their cussedness. He says
that in the sleeper on the U. P. r. r
he occupied section in front of a mar
ried couple. The husband was trying
to read and his better half was contin-
ually asking him questions, which he
answered petulantly and with i'll humor.
Finally she said: "What road are we
on now, dear?" In reply, he said curtly
and in swapping tone: ~ P" OF
course dol" she exclaimed angrily. but
you needn't tell the whole car about it. u
And the Austin man says he cant fol
the life of him tell what she Was mad

Rev. DR.. Adams opened the services

evening, Geo. William Curtis, was in
troduced, and spoke over two hours on
the Life, character and writings of
William Cullen Bryant" In his early
days he was active In political life, but
his democracy never meant a rabble
nor mob. He never wrote an impure
line nor advocated measure which the
friends of good government could not
support. In those days, when Adams
was president, the present system Of
middlemen in politics did not prevail.
Adams was man of indomit able will,
energy and great capacity. He was
independent Of party. May we ever have
such a president, and one whose motto
shall be, that the serves his party best
who serves his country most" (Great
applause.) The speaker concluded his
Grafton with touching eulogy of the
deceased poet and patriot. A vote of
thanks was given him, after which
Bishop Potter pronounced the benedic-
tion. A grand reception at Frederic
De Paster's house to the presidential
party and other distinguished guests
was given after the services.
