Eureka Sentinel.


The late grand jury in White Fine
indicted A V. Hoyt, of the Cherry
Greek Independent, for libel. The IN
dictment was found at the instance OF
Senator H. A. Comins, of that county.
Hoyt, through his paper, had accused
Comins of being "bribe taker
Comins, being man of family, would
prefer not to kill anybody if he could
avoid it. Hence he had resource to
legal means against the Cherry Creek
editor. Mr.. Hoyt was arrested and
brought into Hamilton. After some
little delay he gave bonds and was re-
leased. The trial is set for the latter
part of the present month. Z. l..
Lansing will appear for Senator Comins,
and w. w. Bishop for the accused.
Uuder the law of this State libel is
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of
not to exceed 81 900. The case prom
ises to be one that will excite very gen.
eral interest in Eastern Nevada.

A BLACK HILLS JURY.

At a recent murder trial in Dead
wood, where the evidence was over
whelmingly conclusive as to the guilt
of the accused, and public opinion
unanimous for summary punishment,
the jury astonished the lawyers and
spectators present, and almost petri6ed
the judge, by their verdict of mot
guilty" Upon recovering his COM
posure, His Honor said, 81 have
practiced law for twenty-eight years
and have been interested in criminal
cases of all kinds, but l never yet
witnessed so disgraceful spectacle as
this. Were l tried upon criminal
charge, l would prefer a jury of Piegan

Then, turning to the clerk, he ordered
that the names of the jurymen be
recorded, and requested they be not
again drawn so long as he presided.

About 40 Southern refugees, men,
women and children, arrived in st.
Louis from Kansas yesterday, and left
on the steamer Howard last evening
for their former homes in Warren
county, Mississippi. They gave an un-
favorable account of their reception
and treatment in Kansas, and expressed
much pleasure at being able to return.
They were abundantly supplied with
all necessaries for their trip down the

Last night an explosion of gas in
Stanton shaft in the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Co. 8 mine, severely
burned Martin Corcorap. AT midnight,
while the men were brushing out an
accumulation of gas in the lower vein,
it came in contact with blower"
causing terrific explosion. A large
force of men were driving the tunnel at
the time and eight of them were badly
burned, the majority, it is thought,
fatally. The mine was set on fire, and
soon 600 feet of solid coal was burning
furiously. To extinguish the flames the
mine had to be flooded.

extremely doubtful but an appeal will
be taken. The case is so clear that no

heaven, based ON the statement in Rev.
Citations that the angels measured the
city with the reed 10000 furlongs.
The length, the breadth, and the height
OF it are equal. Taking eight furiongs
to equal mile, he comes to the follow
ing conclusions; "The heavenly city
will be 1900 miles in each of it's dimen-
sions, which will accommodate all the
people of all the world with separate
apartments. There win be precisely
80 quintillion, 54l quadrillion, l66 tril-

there win remain over 240 quadrillions
Of mansions unoccupied, to be occupied

! THE custom of shaving the beard was
enforced by Alexander of Macedon,
not for the sake of fashion, but for a
practical end. He knew that the sol
diers of India, when they encountered
their foes, had the habit of grasping
them by the beard, and so he ordered
his soldiers to shave. Afterward
shaving was practiced in the Mace
DOMAIN army, and then among Greek
citizens. The Romans initiated the
Greeks in the practice, as they did in
many other things. and spread it to the
different European nations yet barbara.
In the middle Ages, at the time of the
Renaissance, shaving was introduced,
and the habit was retained, though
classicism gave place to romanticism,
and that, in its turn, was replaced by
realism. The beard was a score of
trouble to Peter the Great, who, stimuli
taneously with the introduction of his
great reforms in Russia, tried to induce
his people to initiate the shaving
nations. This innovation was resisted
by his subjects with the utmost
persistence, and they preferred to pay
a heavy fine rather than suffer disfgure-
ment, as they believed, Of the immage
of God. To the Russians Of olden
times the beard was a symbol of
liberty. In several countries of West
ern Europe and in the United States
the beard was restored to honor only
about twenty years ago, but even yet
the majority of men respect the custom
introduced by Alexander the Great.
