The SEyTIsEL some time ago proposed
an excursion to Battle Mountain to meet
General Grant on his way East. The sug-
restion vas received With favor by all
clssses Of our people. and there is at least
. likelihood that the plan will be adopted
and carried out. The SENTINEL now has
another suggestion to offer on the same
subject. II is that q non partisan public
meeting be held at an early day TO
appoint . committee to take charge Of.
and make all necessary arrangements for
the excursion. As will be seen by q dis
patch to the SENTINEL, the General yester-
dsy informed . delegation Of Nevadans
Who waited upon him that he would not
reach Nevada until the latter part Of Oc'o-
Der. II therefore follows that We viii have
ample time to mature our contemplated
demonstration. But the committee should
he appointed at once, as the undertaking
will most probably involve more or less
correspondence. We would therefore sug-
gess . meeting Of citizens at the Court
house to-morrow evening.

An Incident Of the Milk Creek Fight.

In all the history of warfare in which
the American savage has taken part the
mutilation of the dead bodies of his foes
has been a custom which has been very
seldom deviated from. Particularly has
this been the case where persons, not
soldiers, have been SO unfortunate as to
die at their hands. In the recent Indian
war the troops which fell on the field OF
battle have been mutilated in horrible
manner and the late battle at Milk
Creek and at the White River Agency
have not been exceptions to the general
rule. One exception, however, is to be
noted, and that is the case OF Major
Thornburgh, who was killed by the In. !.
dians in their charge at the outbreak OF
the present Ute trouble. Instead OF
treating his body as they did the bodies
of the other soldiers, they exhibited
marked respect toward it, laying it out
carefully and placing in one hand the
photograph of an Indian, who, day OF
two previous to the outbreak, haa
shared in the hospitality of the MAJOR.
This incident is worth mention, as show
ino that the Indians, though mutilating
the dead, occasionally show the exist
ence of some feeling or; regard 1or the
remains of foe.

Leaning Towers in Great Britain.

The most remarkable leaning tower
insGreat Britain is that of Caerphilly
Castle, Glamorganshire. Being but be
tween seventy and eighty feet high, it is
eleven feet out of the perpendicular.
The castle of which the tower forms a part
was built about 1921. and the canting of
the tower is said to have been caused by
an explosion of hot liquid metal used by
the occupants of the castle to pour on
the heads of their enemies at siege
which took place in 1926. There are
also leaning towers at Bridgenorth
Castle, in Shropshire, and at Corfe
Castle, in Dorsetshire, both caused by
the use Of gunpowder during the civil
war between King Charles and his Par
lament.
Of churches with crooked spires, the
most noteworthy is the famous one at
Chesterfield, in Derbyshire. 1t leans
six feet toward the south, and four feet
four inches towards the west, and its
height is 230 feet. So peculiar is the
distorted appearance of this steeple that
it is said to appear falling towards the
spectator from whatever point he ap-
proaches it. There are several tradi-
tions extant respecting this singular
architectural deformity. One is that the
builder, native of Chesterfield, having
agreed to erect church, did SO, finish
ing the tower without adding a spire.
The authorities of the town, not being
satisfied with the structure, appealed to
the Attorney-General, who gave his
opinion that the spire was as much a
part of the church as the tower. and
that consequently the builder must finish
his contractby its addition. The sub
iect was, however, fully discussed at a
meeting of the Institute of British Archi-
tects in January, 1855, and it was ascer-
tanned that the oak planks on which the
framework of the spire rests are much
decayed on one side, which is sufficient
to cause the divergence from the per-
pendicular. The timbers also have the
appearance of having been used in a
green and unseasoned condition. The
action of the sun upon the spire would
therefore cause it to become crooked
and this may account for the distortion
without attributing it to design.-Chans
bers's Journal.

ALL FOR LOVE.
A Soldier Deserts to Marry His Captains
Cixfe

"A cuAhAoA DooSAeS - tA.-S
From the Davenport Qowa) Democrat.l
On the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pa
cific train going East last evening was a
Sergeant and two privates OF the 9th
United States Infantry, who had charge
of prisoner; and with them was an ell
derly and rather fine-looking man, Il
Mr.. Samuel Rice, who was the prison.
er's father. The soldiers were nOn-com-
initial as to the offense the prisoner had
committed, but the father, who stepped
to the platform of the car, told apassen-
ger the story of his sons crime. He
said that his son, who is "a years OF age,
went into the army two years ago,
against the protest of parents and friends,
and was made Second Sergeant OF his
company in a few months. About u
year ago the company was sent to Fort
Sarpy, Montana, and the Captains wife
came on there, accompanied by her sis
ter, young lady of Is years. 1t ap-
pears that the young Sergeant, Klce,
who is really a noble-looking fellow, and
this sister became acquainted somehow,
and fell in love with each other. How
they managed to meet each other and
reach such an intimate acquaintance,
circumstanced as they were, Mr.. Rice
didn't know, but they did more by
writing than in any other way. They
kept up secret correspondence for
weeks before they were detected; but at
last the Captains wife discovered what
was up, and in less than one week after
Mrs. Capt. King and her sister were on
their way to Cheyenne, from which
place the sister was sent to her
home near Northampton, Mass. That
was last fall; last May the command
was moved to fort near Helena, and
there young. Rice deserted, made his
way to Northampton, and married his
CAPTAINS sister-in-law, with whom he
fell in love at Fort Sarpy. The couple
were married some time before the
young couples friends knew any thing
about it-and it wouldn't have been
found out when it was but for a letter
from the Captain telling of young Rice's
desertion, expressing fears that he had
left for Massachusetts to see the girl,
who was infatuated with him, and de-
scribing the lover. Young Rice had OBJ
tanned employment in the vicinity. His
wife was watched, and she was seen
with him, and the description caused
his arrest as deserter. Then she told
her father that the arrested man was
her husband, and there was consterna-
ton and grief in the family. The father
of the wife did all he could to hasten
the taking of Rice to the West-and he
was first taken to Fort La Fayette, and
then started for the West with the Ser
geant and two soldiers. Mr.. Rice said
Lo bol;ovad tho prccee}inp was very lIn-
usual-and the officers on the island to-
day say it is, too. Mr.. Rice said that
his sons young wife was almost frantic
at first, but when he left she was calm
as any body The old man believed she
would be on her way West before long.
Mr.. Rice said that his son might be
severely dealt with, but there were in
fiuences at work which he thought
would secure the young soldiers release
before many months have passed.

Hotel Recipes.

SCRAMBLED EGGS.--Take nine parts
of eggs and one part of good old lard.
If suspicious of the health of any OF the
eggs, give them the benefit of the doubt
and put them in with the rest. Then
turn into skillet which has previously
held fried mackerel, and scramble them
with a potato-masher. Fry until tough
or thoroughly impregnated with the fish
oil and lard; add little of the uncooked
eggs which remain in the pan to give
them fresh appearance; set in place
to cool, and then serve.
STEAK.-Catch bull and cut off q
piece so near his horns that you can
smell powder. Pound in the morning
before people are out of bed; hang it up
in the sun to get tender, and fry for sup
per. Retry for breakfast. Fry again
for supper, and so on, ad lib, until the
steak gets discouraged. Cooked in this
manner it will provoke such flashes OF
intellect as we heard one morning, and
which we jot down as illustrative:
=. I'm only eating this for exercise"
/" Is this toughp"
Certainly it's tough,' was replied.
I'D like to have enough of this to
make target OF, J" ETC., ETC., etc.
Corn CAKEs.-Take unbolted oat-
meal, ten cups full; add one
slop-bucket full of water; two
spoonfuls Of coarse salt, and three
quarts Of buttermilk. Stir; cook
until they are black-and-tan, and
set in cool place until clammy. They
will be found to have tartness that no
other method can supply.
CoFFEE la Mer Atlantique.-Take a
good deal of water, and throw in coffee
grains, say handful, and some tex
tract Boil until it changes color
