OF the fifteen criminals brought up
before the Grand Jury this morning. as
may be seen BY the report In our local
columns, one was for murder. q for
abduction. three for opium smoking. and
ten for burglary. These ten cases Of
burglary were represented by young
men and boys Of various ages. and their
offenses were committed in Virginia
City. A long moral lecture might Be
written on this, one that would set pa.
rents and good citizens to thinking more
deeply than eve upon what to do with
our young men; how best to keep them
employed and out Of mischief and bad
company and influences. Why should
they take to burglary with such facility
and evident preference 2 Bot we have
neither room mol time. just at present.
for such a lecture. Perhaps II need not
bs written, but let every parent and eiti.

ploymsnt for our young men than bur-

italian investigation.
Eureka Ssntinsi. Aug. 81.

EUska Ssafinsf, Aug. u.
Since his arrival In Eureka the italian
Consul has proceeded quietly and sys.
tematically in his endsavors to get at
the bottom OF the Fish Greek affair.
Both sides have been patiently heard,
and to bis credit be il said that the Ital.
ians have NO better idea as regards his
opinion than has the Sherifrs posse.
The Consul is evidently possessed Of q
judicial mind and proposes to judge the
case purely upon Its merits. So long 90
such Q course 10 pursued he will have
the hearty cooperation Of the Sentinel.
An interview was held between Sheriff
KYLE and the Consul and Vice Consul
last evening. In Lambert Molinslli's
Office, In which the whole affair
vas freely discussed. The Consul
said hs was simply acting under
instructions from the Italian Minister at
Washington, aud was DESTROYS Of getting
the whole truth. The Sheriff stated bis
case plainly and forcibly. and while ex.
pressing regret for the serious AFFAIR.
claimed that under the circumstances
his officers could not have acted dif5sr-
emily. Tho interview was . pleasant
and social o throughout. and served to
bring about a better feeling a. regards
the unfortunate Occurrences. Today the
Consul will advise the officers Of the
Coal Burners Association to desist from
further acts Of violence. and to abide by
the decision Of the recognized officers
Of the Law. This guarantees that no
further trouble will be had. He will
leave for San Francisco tomorrow
morning.

What Stanley 10 Doing.
Liserpooi Poet.


We have received the following i'm.
portant particulars with respect TO the
movements Of q. NJ. Stanley, the African
explorer. from Q correspondent whose
sources Of information are thoroughly
Trustworthy About nine months ago
Mr.. Stanley suddenly departed for the
east coast OF Africa. He afterward
turned up at Zanzibar. In . chartered
steamer, but NO one could understand
with what object the distinguished trav.
sler bad gone there. some supposing
that be had gone for the purpose OF
ascending one or two small rivers. Now.
advices have been received that Stanley
sailed from Gibraltar for the west coast
Of Africa three weeks ago. having come
through the Suez canal In this chartered
steamer. full Of carriers. The object OF
this journey to the east coast 10 there
fore now disclosed-namely. to display
the great desideratum Of carriers, and no
doubt he has all the men who accom-.
panied him in his last journey through
the heart Of Africa. Having left Glib
raltar three weeks ago. Stanley has now
steamed down the west coast Of Africa
direct to the Congo. with the intention
Of opening up the mighty river from the
west coast. A steamer laden with goods
has been dispatched from Antwerp within
tho last month. under the patronage Of
the King OF the Bslgisns. The steamer.
which will remain ct the Congo till Mr..
SANKEY'S arrival. has on board two or
three steam barges In sections. which
confirms the superstition that It IL Stan.
ley's intention to ascend the Congo, Car.
rying these sections piecemsal round the
Gellala Falls. We wish him all success.
He Is doing q great work for the open.
ing up OF commerce |; and although the
Belgians have taken tho lead, We have
no fear that own English merchants
will lag behind when the way has been
opened up. This country IL onc more
deeply indebted to the King Of the Bel.
gians for the energy be has displayed In
connection with such an important
movement.

rnE Blo BEAR HUNT.

All the mighty hunters OF this section
within q radius OF q hundred miles have
agreed to concentrate upon q big bear
hunt. to take place on the 18th OF this
month in Sierra valley. The big bear
they are going to hunt Is "0ld Brin."
a huge old grizzly well known to tho
hunting fraternity for years past. His
residence Is also well known. and there
will be NO trouble at all in finding him.
although there might possibly DO some
trouble a~ftsrward. Numerous hunters
have taken q shot at him. and be Is sup
posed to have about a peck Of bullets
slowed away under his tough old hide.
He has been trapped several times. but
the total destruction Of the trap has
always indicated that old Brin had been
there. He In turn contrived to entrap
one hunter some years ago. and sent
him to the happy hunting grounds with
his head crushed like q walnut. The
weight Of this champion bear Is vari.
ously estimated at from $500 pounds to
1900 tons, the latter estimate coming
from those who have happened to be his
nearest ye-witnssses. The unconquered
old beast fears neither dog, man nor the
devil. but the aat has gone forth that be
must be extsrminsted aud effectually
squslched forever. The representative
hunters from tho Coms,ock who will
participate in the great hunt are men
who have fought the toughest Of the old
stock bears. and INDUCED 10 many q des-
perats bout with the tiger. Il will bs q
refreshing variety to them to tackle Old
l,rin. Unless the old fellow Is sick or
otherwise out Of tune. be might perhaps
give his scheming antagonists u little
more sport than they anticipate.
