Prominent gentlemen In the western
portion Of the State are making an organ
issd effort 10 give the forthcoming book Of
the late Harry Mishels an extensive sale
far the benefit Of his most estimable widow
and little ones. A thorough canvass is to
be made Of all parts Of the State. The
idea IL . good one, the object more than
meritorious. and we sincerely hope that
the effort will far exceed the authorizations
Of those who projected it. Last nights
mail brought us the following circular let
tor, which fully sets forth the aims ana
scope OF the scheme. We hope Tho local
committee will meet early and act promptly.
II agreeable TO other members Of the COM
mittee, We would suggest a meeting OF the
Eureka canvassers at 7:90 O'Clock this even

woRKINGMEN IN POLITICS.
From the 8. r. State.
II ia both right and natural that the
Workinemen. feeling the pressure OF hard
times. should resort 10 organized political
action. But in order to make that action
sdective. 1t must be wisely directed and
aim 1t practical ends. What the Work
ingmen can do politically Tor the better
ment Of their material condition is to
unite their strength in an effort to secure
honest and economical government, munich
pal, State and National. and the repeal OF
unequal and oppressive legislation Of every
kind.
CAPITAL
From the Reno Gazette.
It seems to us that the better way 70 dis
pose o. such matters would be to send con-
demned murderers to the State Prison for
confinement and execution. and that the
custom Of publishing the sickening details
in newspapers be stopped. The boys Of
the country, and the boy men, whose minds
have mover gotten above the fighting age,
read and study every move and every
horror which can be crammed into the
papers, and they are far from being profted
thereby.
rHE RIGHT SPIRIT.
From the Enterprise.
We are certain that no one stopped TO
think Yesterday whether il was the grave
Of : VRiop or : Confederate soldier that
was being gsflaadsl. The only thought
was. thai sou4e Americans who were true
enough to prlnciple TO offer their lives in
defense Of II. had q Last, hero in the wilds,
given up their life struggles.

Jusr now the Grant movement does not
seem to be booming As vigorously as for
merly. Hayes is being mentioned in .
quiet way. and Sherman stock appears to
be rising in the Presidential market. In
the meantime the friends Of Blaine and
Conkling are not idle. Still the SENTINEL
believes Grant will be the Republican
nominee. Republican politicians seem to
realize that with the General at the head
Of their ticket they stand the best chance
Of success. This feeling we doubt not will
make him the candidate. But Grant him
self may object. He is not apt to banker
after . forlorn hope. II he has studied the
situation he must know that even with his
great personal popularity the battle is by
NO means certain. Figured from any pof.
sible standpoint. the odds are more than
two to one that the Democrats will elect
! he next President.

Pine. that he will not turn up to defend his

Couldn't Fool Him.

A gentleman called his servant one
day and informed him ne wished him
to learn the names OF the books in the
Bible. "Now," said he, II will tell you
she first one, and during the day will
ask you what it is. to see if you remem-
Der; it is Genesis" Later in the day
Bob was called, but he could not re-
member what it was. "Now," said his
master, Il have way to impress it on
your mind so you cannot forget it.
Now, Bob, we have an old horse in the
stable. What do we call it?" Jenny"
Correct. And we have little girl in
the kitchen; what do you call herr"
isis" every well; now put the two to-
gether and you have Jenny-Sis-Gen-
esis: 7 think you can remember it I'M
til tomorrow" ''Yah! yah Yes, sab"
The next morning Bob was summoned
to appear before his master. "Good
morning, Bob; can you give me the
name of the first book in the Bible this
morning?" eyes, sab, sure" "Well,
what is it?" 'Yahl yah! Can't fool
dis chicken dis morning on DAFT is

Imp0i tant il True.

A Pennsylvania paper tells of a cat
which caught young rat and swallowed
it whole. The next morning it was
heard squealing in the stomach Of poor
pussy, who was trying to eject it from
the premises. When the mail closed
that evening she had not yet succeeded,
the rat still keeping up rumpus in the
interior.
A Louisiana paper says a woman
"set' hen on some eggs in q field,
and when they were hatched four little
alligators appeared among the chickens
They followed the old hen as doeilely
as their half-brothers and sisters-the
chickens and seemed entirely uncon-
scious of any difference. tits supposed
that an alligator deposited the eggs in
the hens nest.

The Two Knew Everything.

Once, in travelling, the Rev. Dr. Bled-
soc was exceedingly annoyed by a
pedantic bore who forced himself upon
him and made great parade OF his
shallow learning. The doctor bore it
as long as he could, and at
length, looking at him gravely, said:
My friend, you and [ know all there is
to be known" How is that?" said the
man, pleased with what he considered
a very complimentary association.

everything except that you are a fool,
and I know that"

OUR LITTLE FOLKS.

Epitaph Kitten.
Here lies-by death smitten-
My pretty young kitten,
To molder away in the dust.
0! had she lived longer,
She might have been stronger,
And died-somewhat older-we trust.
Had she grown up to cathood,
Then many a cat would
Have mourned in the deepest of woe.
Let the curtain be drawn to-
We hope size has gone to
The land to which other cats go.

A Wife's Love that Stood the Test.

A singular affair has just occurred
in this city. A sewing machine
agent by name, Pendleton, thought
he wonld test the affections of his
wife. He accordingly went up to
an upper story of his residence and
opened the window. He then tied
a stout rope under his arms, fasten.
ed one end to something in the
room and stepped out of the window.
He then made noise which attract
ed his wite's attention. She came
aud beheld the perilous predicament
which he was in. She felt the need
of doing something at once to save
her husband. In Der excitement
she seized a knife and cut the rope.
The result was that he Was precipi.

appear, he escaped serious injury,
