opening for profitable investment lies
in the lands situated on the banks of
Bayou Plaquemine, Lower Grand
River and Bayou Sorrel in this parish.
Some of those lands were cleared
before the war and yielded big crops
of sugar. To-day they are specially
adapted for rice plantations.

A Sensation Caused by the Due lie
Chartres-Basis for Prclimina-

Mortgage or Sell all National

BY Telegraph to the Sentinel
PARIS, October 21.-Much sensation Is
caused by the Duo De Chartres, at a mill
tary dinner at Eureux, proposing a toast
to France and her Government. and to the
President OF the Republic. Legitimists
consider that this indicates an acceptance
by him of the Republic. The Duke in his
speech said, SIN America, where I passed
part OF my youth, it was customary to
give such a loyal toast before all Others"
PANAMA, October 21.-Lima dates are to
September 25th. United States Minister
Christiancy has drawn up the following
basis for preliminaries Of peace. Chill,
Peru and Bolivia will each elect three
Commissioners to discuss the conditions
Of the peace, and to meet on the Peruvian
territory occupied by the CHILEAN army.
The United States Minister is taking part
In the conference as a friendly mediator.
The cultivation Of tobacco is now free in
Chill. Six millions in paper money have
been authorized to be issued by the Gillian
treasury.
The Bolivian Congress has sanctioned a
law authorizing the Executive to mortgage
or sell all national property, and the mu-
inequalities are also authorized to proceed
in the same way, with the consent of the
Government. The proceeds Of such sales
are to be applied to the payment Of the ex.
penses Of the war.
General Dana has been deprived OF his
rights as a Bolivian citizen. His inapti'
tude and cowardice having brought upon
the country humiliation and dishonor.

Truckee Republican: All communities
are dependent upon those who have pluck
and energy. Towns are built up by pluck;
they are sustained after being built by
pluck and they will go down when men
possessing pluck leave them. An enter
prising plucky man to a town is what a
queen bee is to a swarm of bees. Yet
there is a feeling of envy among many
nowadays against such men, especially
when they begin to possess and enjoy what
their enterprise wins for them. A man
with money nowadays is not very popu-
lar with those having nothing. The fell
lows who have spent their money foolishly
and their time prodigally, don't seem to
like their neighbor who has done differ
entity. Wealth is an unpopular thing, but
it is pretty good to have, and without the
men who possess it and have energy
enough to use it, these fellows who are
envious of them would starve.

The Democratic Meeting at Austin
Addressed by Dennis and Clunfe
Cassidy at Candelarfa-DemO.
crat Feeling Good.
fBy Telegraph to the sentinel.I


Especial to the Sentinel
AUSTIN, October 21.-Major ]. Hancock
Dennis was introduced to his old friends
en- masse at the International Hotel last
evening. The Major settled down to bust
ness, and gave US one Of his happy
speeches. His comparison Of the candi-
dates for Congress was deep and well
turned-showing what Daggett had done,
and what Cassidy would do If elected.
Garfeld's record for the country's good,
and for the good Of this coast particularly,
was scored to a chipher. Hancock was
shown to have saved the country once, and
would do it again for, to use the speak
er's words, Garfield stood about as much
show Of being elected as a Chinaman run
ming for the Presidency Of a Miners
Union.
Major Dennis was followed by General
Thomas J. Clunie Of Sacramento, the bril-
liant star thus far Of the campaign in this
section. The grand eloquence Of this gen.
tleman has never been equalled in this
county. The force and sublimity Of his
arguments was such as to set the biased
conscience Of the blacklist sinner to witch
ing, with strange thoughts of truth re-
vealed. His superb eulogy Of Hancock.
and his explanation of the gratitude and
homage due from the nation to the hero Of
Gettysburg, compared with the nefarious
official record Of Garfield, as proven by the
official report Of the Republican Poland
Committee, showed c~onclusively that the
speakers heart and soul was in his good
work. He explained how Indiana would
redeem herself on election day. He said
there would then be no unpopular Lam
ders, nor no four Democratic papers work
ing against the election Of Hancock. The
Democracy Of Nevada will have much to
thank General Clunie for on November I'd,
and his convincing proofs will make q last
ing impression wherever unfolded.
Major Dennis and General Clunie leave
for Battle Mountain tonight.
C~ANpELARIA, October 20.-Hon. George

We Recommend 1t.

We have frequently urged upon our
candidates for the Legislature, says the
Reno Gazette, the necessity for emphatic
ally defining their position oil the sena-
torial question. We believe 1t would add
greatly to their strength to come out fat
footed against Sharon; as it stands now
they labor under all the disadvantage OF
indecision and receive no compensating
benefits. To do so will in no way reflect
upon their devotion to the Republican
party. Mr.. Sharon in no sense represents
that party, and there are plenty Of other
candidates that are doing more for the
party than he is. There is nothing gained
by silence on this question.

Steamship HyIton Castle-will
Not Obey the Mandate OF the
County Committee.
fBy Telegraph to the sentinel.I
SAN Francisco, October 21.-Last night,
a mar named George Wheeler, went to the
City Prison and said he had killed his
sister-in-law, Adele Tillson, at No. %
Kearney street. The officers went to the
place and found the body of a girl packed
away in a trunk. According to Wheeler's
story he had been intimate with Adele for
some time, his wife knowing their rela-
tons. The family had been living in
Cisco, but some days ago Wheeler and
Adele came to San Francisco and took
rooms as man and wife. At Cisco, Adele
got acquainted with a man named Geo. W.
Peckham, and they became intimate, and
Wheeler says criminally 30. Five days
ago Peckham followed Adele from Cisco
and took q room in the same house.
Wheeler became jealous, and he says he
made up his mind, rather than have Adele
leave him for Peckham, he would kill her.
Yesterday afternoon the girl told Wheeler
she was going to leave him, and left the
house to visit a friend. She returned soon
after, however, for her clothes, and while
in the room Wheeler strangled her to
death, by placing one hand over her mouth
and choking her with the other. So quiet
ly was all this done that the occupants,
rooms on either side, heard or knew moth
ing OF the affair. He then packed the
hndv in q 4r1pk and ohort1- afkar uyapf 10
the ~station-house and confessed the deed.
Peckham, the lover of Adele, says he has
been trying for some time to get Adele
away from Wheeler, and finally she had
agreed to leave him.
A dispatch from Victoria, British Column
bia, says the British steamship Hylton
Castle, Baumann, master, laden with 300
tons OF Washington coal, for the Califor-
mia market, struck a reef about eight
miles south Of the harbor, at IL o'clock
last night, during a dense fog. At last
accounts she was in q dangerous condition.
The Democratic County Committee have
resolved not to obey the mandate Of the
State Central Committee, to take certain
nominees for legislative and judicial Off
GERS, and substitute others named by the
State Committee on the county ticket.
The County Committee say they will run
their own ticket, which will be the cause
OF two straight Democratic tickets in the
field.
Mrs. Ralston was to-day appointed guar
dian Of her three children by the Probate
Court, in place of A. J. Ralston. The lat
ter was given five days to fle an account
of his guardianship.
There were no further arrests to-day for
false registration, but a batch of 81 addi-
tional complaints was received from the
New City Hall, and warrants are nov be-
ing made out for the arrest Of the parties.
According to the returns furnished

PooI-selling Last Night-A Fine
Day I'm Prospeetive-Much Inter-
est Manifested.
The Eureka Jockey Club have done we'll
in offering big purses. They have sue
ceeded thereby in bringing some tirst-class
racers from Sacramento and the western
part Of Nevada. OF course, the old-time
boys and horses fight shy of these animals
with records" because they want to use
their coin for the benefit Of this section.
Judging by the pool-selling at Hintz &
Cella's saloon last night. Sooner is still the
~fayorite in the mile and repeat race, al
though the horse Snowden rallied at the
last selling. Sooner is acclimated; his
staying qualities cannot be questioned.
Snowden has been in this State just about
long enough to get a touch Of Base Range
pneumonia, and it may tell on the noble
animal. He has q good record, but a
change of climate is tough on horses,
though it may benefit a consumptive shoe
maker.
The mile and repeat is the first race, and
will be called at 2 P. NJ. sharp, as, ii there
should be trouble, etc., it would be late
before the days sport is over. As before
stated, for the above race in the start Of
pool-sellirg last night Sooner was first
choice; towards the last Snowden took the
lead, but Sooner sold not much behind;
Euchre was third, and Red Jacket last.
THE DASH.
Six owners Of as many horses signified
their willingness to enter for the quarter
mile dash if the Mormon horse"
Tom Benton, stays out. They are
afraid Of him. The matter is not set
tied but the chances are that if Tom
Benton or any other horse stays, or
walks off, at least four horses will be en-
tered for this race. The management have
left the opening tor entries to be made up
to IL o'clock NJ. to-day.
THE FooT RAcE
Will come off last, but will keep the crowd.
The Pottsville boys are backing Jimmy
O'Brien, and he was informed last night
by a committee that if he lost the raae he
had better charter Sooner, and make for
Bull Creek on A No. 1 time, or prepare to
die. Jimmy will do his best, for he has a
hard man to beat kennedy, and he knows
it. Entries are also open to this race up
to IL M. to-day.
1t will be a lively afternoon at the Will
lows, and if the weather is pleasant, as it
BODIES at this writing, there will be a large
crowd in attendance.
