Another departure.

We regret to announce the fact that our
fellow townsman, Frank Doutrick, is about
to shake the business and hue-dust Of Eu-
reka from his feet, and return to his old
love-hotel keeping. He has sold to Mr..
o. M. Paris his interest in the wholesale
and retail grocery establishment of T. R.
Hutchinson & Co., and will shortly take
his departure for Las Vegas. New Mexico,
where he will show the natives how to run
a hrst-class hotel. BY our exchanges We
learn that the tide OF travel through Las
Vegas into southwestern New Mexico and
Arizona, is unprecedented in the history Of
any western town, and Mr.. Doutrick hav-
ing secured the largest and most conven-
lent hotel, will be sure to do the major part
OF the business in his line. He will go to
California to visit his family, and will call
here some time in January as he journeys
East. He has our best wishes for his sue
ceea.

MORRIS a. LEVY.
They Advertise a Line of Goods
Which are Suitable for Holiday
Presents.

The dry goods emporium Of Morris &
Levy shines out in all its glory Of
bright-colored silks, rich satins, soft
v%elvets, elegant sealskin sacques, dolmans,
ulsters and cloaks, since the return Of Mr..
J. Morris from the Bay. While there he
purchased and shipped every day as he OBJ
served the articles he wanted for the .Eure-
ka trade, and the goods are still arriving
in quantities best suited for handling. Tn-
der the tasteful arrangement and artistic
parade of goods, the store is worth a visit
every day in the week for those who love
to look upon magnificent harmony.
Pyramids and towers of the best cloths
manufactured rise to the high ceiling upon
every hand; laces move with the slightest
breath Of air from their loops of ribbon;
tiny gloves lie snugly in their silk-lined
receptacles, and the entire establishment
is in accord with ~neatness and formality.
Messrs. Morris & Levy have reason to
be proud of the high encomiums with
which they are every day greeted for their
beautiful and systematic establishment,
and the way in which they do business.
Here in Eureka the Yankee style of swap
is not much in favor, and the ''one-price
cash system" which these gentlemen have
advertised, and which they live up to, is
sure to be received favorably.
Our readers should drop INTO the above
establishment and feast their eyes, even il
they do not wish to purchase.

GRADED.
A New Feature in Our Public
schools.

schools.
Professor G. ]. Scanland is about to in
augurate q system OF advancing scholars
from one grade OF studies to another in
our schools, which will surely be Of
great benefit to the students. The full ar
rangements are not satisfactorily stipu-
lated and planned as yet, but they will be
shortly, and we believe, il carried out,
will tend to keep many scholars here who
are now sent away for the benefit Of graded
courses Of study.
Since Superintendent Scanland took
charge Of our schools we have had oppor-
tunities Of learning the remarkable progress
made by scholars, and the extreme and
earnest care Of the teachers to perform
their respective duties with the fullest con-
scientiousness. Our corps Of teachers
have no superiors in Nevada, and their
methods Of instruction in all branches of
mathematics and literature are of the very
best for growing minds; they are up to as
high a standard here. to-day, as elsewhere,
and Eureka has reason to be proud Of this,
their home institution. The popularity Of
our public school is acknowledged; con-
tains upon the various rolls upwards Of
800 names; is now in q most ~fiourishing
condition and gaining daily.
When the plans are perfected we shall
be pleased to inform our readers Of the va
rious steps toward the topmost round in
the ladder of Eureka's public school.

A WOuid-bc Boy Husband I'm n
Last Ditch.

In a small, dark sleeping apartment no,
many blocks from the SENTINEL building,
there came near being enacted a terrible
tragedy but a few mornings ago. The
leading character is a young man who, at
the tint when the Good Templsrs Of Eu-
reka were in their most h~ourishing condi-
ton. formed the acquaintance of a lady
who was pronounced by over-oficious rel
atlves OF the interested parties to be either
" too good :" or too bad " for the young
sprig, and he withered under the scorch-
ing lashes. The young lady too, on the
night preceding the event to which we re-
fer, in the language of the hero of this
narrative, burned him up for taking
the matter so meekly. But he STAYED with
1T and argued his case until about 4 O'Clock
A. NJ, when he gave it up; slid nome and
crawled up to his room with murderous in
tent. His mother heard the young man
slip into the house and up stairs, but knew
nothing OF his future intentions; her own
mind was made up the minute he entered
the door; she would learn him to stay out,
making love to that hussy. The conse-
quence was the matronly woman was up at
5:15, and was noiselessly creeping to the
head of the stairs and towards her boys
room with a bucketful OF ice water, to
pour into his face as a gentle reminder
that it was time to arise. Very gently was
access gained to the young mans apart
ment, and the scene which met the
mothers gaze was enough to make
her fly hastily, screaming as she
went down stairs. But the pur-
pose Of her visit was so fully i'm
pressed upon her mind that she forgot to
duck the water in bis face. The house
hold and a couple of neighbors responded
to the calls. They entered the little gloomy
room. Everything was in order except the
high-posted bedstead, which was run out
into the center Of the room, and around
one Of the posts at the head of the bed was
a stout cord, and as the eyes of the witness
es followed the length of that cord, they
saw that the other end Of it held the head
OF the unfortunate young man. Hislower
limbs were cinched up with straps, I'M
til he resembled a spread eagle, thus to
avoid the possibility OF recovering from
the drop. He had been slowly struggling,
but upon being cut down, with proper re-
storatives, he was soon able to be around.
He has been upon the street for a couple
of days and only complains of a sore
throat, has it well done up in flannel, and
says: Bad cold, you know; ahem."

A RemarkabIe woman.

A Boston paper gives an account of a re-
markable woman born in Wellfieet, Massa-
chusetts, and now ninety-three years old.
When she was but twenty-four years old,
having two children. her husband was
brought home to her from his wrecked YES
sci an invalid for life. He saw nothing but
restitution staring him and his family in
the face. Then it was that her wonderful
energy was equal to the occasion. She
started a store, very small at first, but its
profits gradually increased, and she says
that many a day she has taken in over 500.
For ffty-nine years she made monthly Wis
its to Boston in small boats to r~eplenish
her stock. For fifty years she took care OF
her husband, who was not able to dress
himself. She educated her two boys, and
| started them in business. She also adopt
ed, clothed, fed, educated and placed in
good positions in the world twenty orphan
boys aud girls, besides visiting and taking
care Of the sick at all hours Of the day and
night.

what Mackey Told n Graphic Re
Orter About the Old Lode.

The New York Graphic is a live paper,
and for the past year or 80 has been taking
a deep interest in mining affairs. Quite
naturally, it sent a reporter to interview
Mr.. Mackay on the ~latter's arrival in New
York last week. This is what they got out
Of him
"There is nothing new that i can say
concerning Comstock mines further than
to add. that all that men and machinery
can accomplish is now being done in their
development. 1t is as impossible for me
to say what the result will be as it would
be for me to tell the price Of New York
Central or other stocks a year hence"
"But you can give me some little de-
tails connected with the situation in Con-
solidated Virginia, Sierra Nevada and the
other mines, can you not, Mr.. Mackay ?
There is a great deal Of curiosity and much
interest manifested in the East to know
just how matters stand out there, and
coming from you the information would
nave much weight"
II have only to repeat" replied Mr..
Mackay, "that there is nothing new. The
Graphic is just as we'll informed on the
subject as !. am hopeful, and that is all
l care to say. l don't wish to mislead or
confuse, and were l to talk much l would
be misconstrued and blamed, as l have been
80 often before. Time will tell all"

Following is a true incident which hap
pened at Lowestoft, in Suffolk, England.
A simple countrman was following to the
grave, with many heavy signs and floods
of tears, a young wife to whom he had
been devotedly attached. At the end of
the funeral service he wrung his hands,
tore his hair, and was ready to throw him
self upon the coffin, exclaiming that he
could not survive her. A buxom damsel
of the same parish whose Christian name
was Patience was standing by, and on her
the honest farmer had, before his mar
riage, often cast a wistful look. Seeing
him SO agitated, and grieving so much for
the loss of his spouse, she said to him in a
very tender tone, "John, John, have pa
t~ience!' He tnrned round with streaming
eyes, and, seeing who had addressed him
replied in a fit Of ecstacy, "Egad, and SO
l will, my lass, tomorrow, il thou wilt
have me!'' She was agreeable" in every
sense of the word. They have been mar
ried for the last six years, and are as hap.
