from sorghum or corn-stalks. Professor
Collier is not visionary theorist, but
man whose scientific attainments are
backed by hard common sense. He is
familiar with the whole history of the
sorghum experiments of the past, which
failed chiefly because of lack of scientific
information as to the proper time for
cutting the cane. He has faith to believe
that in a very few years the success which
he has demonstrated as possible, will be
a solid reality, and that this country will
be exporting as much sugar as it now i'm
ports, the trifiing amount of 500, 100000
annually. The subject is one which can
not fail to receive the attention of farmers
everywhere.

Several republican papers are quite Sc
verely criticising the action of the State
Committee in calling an early convention,
and we confess that we were inclined to
think q later date would have been better,
until the Philadelphia Times and other
democratic sheets began 10 growl about
it, and then we came to the conclusion
that there must be wisdom in the action
of the committee. We have no patience
with the fault-fnding Gaping spirit in
the republican party, which is ever seek
ing for occasion to find fault with and i'm
pute dishonorable motives to our leaders.
With such men as Gen. Cameron, Grow,
Hartranft, Quay, Beaver, and hosts OF
other patriotic men, as active leaders,
there should be no firing in the rear. BY
following such advice and leadership in
the past, the republican organization has
been kept in better trim and has won
more substantial victories than any other
state in the Union. Such men have the
interests of the party at heart, and would
sincerely deprecate any action which
might imperil success, as much as any
others could.

In temperate and well-considerd arti-
Gle in condemnation of the 'counting
OUT fraud in Maine, the Richmond
State remarks that if the Virginia Can
vassing Board had taken advantage of all
the trifing mistakes and omissions which
occurred in the returns of the late cleo
ton, it would have been an easy matter
to count out enough of the 'Readjusters"
to give the "Funders'' majority in the
Legislature. "But they never once
thought of perpetrating crime of this
enOrmity." The officers who compose
the board knew that their own places
were at stake, and, i'll point of fact, they
have all, with one exception, been relegat-
ed oprivate life by the new Legislature, but
they knew that public sentiment would
not tolerate any qibbling over trihing
technicalities, and they accordingly gave
certificates to those persons who were
really elected. At the next election in
Virginia the returns will be canvassed by
board composed Of officers elected by
the ''Readjusters," and the thoughtful
Virginia Democrats are unwilling that
their bretheren in Maine should set pre-
cedent, which might be availed of when
the next contest takes place between the
''Readiusters" and 'Funders.'

RUMOR.

Sold to the &. II.
The Sacramento correspondent OF the
Enterprise says it is rumored that the Gen.
tral Pacific Railroad Company is about to
absorb the Virginia and Truckee Railroad
Following is what he says on the subject /:
By the way, there is a great deal OF earnest,
II subdued, talk in railroad circles here
about a proposed change in the ownership
OF your Virginia and Truckee Railroad.
1t is said beYe land in very high financial
qnarters} that for some weeks negotiations
have been pending between the owners Of
the Central Pacific and ID. O. Mills to trans
fer the little road to the big corporation.
The reasons given for the sale are that Mr..
Mills has materially increased his fortune
in the East during the past eight months;
that the business prospect in the East salts
him better than in the West; that the
| profits of the. road do not compensate, in
his estimation, for the care required in
managing the property, and more than all,
that the abuse and opposition Of a part of
your people, which stands out like a per-
petual threat aimed at him, has decided
him to seek more c%ongenial fields. Again,
steel rails have advanced SO much in price,

ordered last year for the southern extern
sion Of his road at an advance Of sec, 900
over their cost. On the other hand, the
Central Pacific Company can merge the
Virginia and Truckee Road into the Cen
trail Pacific, which will make it branch
OF the continental line, and take it out of
the power OF the State Legislature to legis-
late specially against it it eau dispense
with a great many officers and employees,
can remove the shops from Carson and do
their work at Wadsworth or Truckee can
revive the lumber interests OF Truckee and
withdraw for use on other roads its surplus
rolling stock Of the Virginia and Truckee.
The sale will effectually kill the contem-
plated extension of the road south, and will
be a heavy blow to my Bodie friends. | am
not very well posted, but it looks as though
the transfer can not help but be a heavy
blow upon. Carson, and the wood and lum-
Der interests Of that section.

A Eureka mining man, now in Boston,
writes us a private letter in which he pre-
diets the collapse Of the Leadville boom
before the summer is over. He calls at
tention to the fact that the Little Pittsburg
mine, which was, for a long time, the king
pin OF Colorado, has just received a bad
black eye, and argues that this is bound to
stay the tide Of capital SO long flowing into
the Leadville mines. He further tells us
that Eureka District is steadily gaining
ground in the East, and he is sanguine that
when Leadville ceases to draw, our turn
will come next. Let us hope 50. But
really there is 40 good reason why our turn
should not come ahead Of any mining Sec
ton on the globe. We have more and bet
ter mines here than can be shown by any
other mining district Of equal extent in
the civilized world.

Why the Work is not Col
memced.

Why the Work is not Com.
menced.
Lately we have received several letters
from parties in the East, making inquiry
regarding the proposed big shaft Of the
Eureka Con. The following is a fair sam
pie:
New YORK, March Q, 1880.
ED. SENTINEL: Some months since it was
announced in your valuable journal that
the Eureka Consolidated had decided to
sink q big shaft to facilitate the develop
ment of the deep levels of that mine. Al
though we have scanned the columns Of the
SENTINEL closely, We have seen nothing re-
garding the Inauguration Of the work. Will
you have the kindness to inform us whether
the project has been abandoned or not? II
so, for what purpose2 If not trespassing
too much on your time we would be under
obligations to you, if you would furnish us
information OIL this subject.
Respectfully yours,
TURNER & JOHNSON.
Armed with the above epistle we sought
superintendent Read. We stated to him
very frankly that the failure to start the big
shaft was having q bad effect on this dis
trict abroad; that many people were liable
to draw the inference that the bottom had
fallen out Of the Eureka Con-, and that it
was for this reason that the proposed i'm
provement had not been undertaken.
Mr.. Read said he fully realized the force
OF our argument, and he proceeded to in
form us that it was in no wise the fault Of
the company that the shaft was not long
since started. 1t has been impossible thus
far to secure the surface ground desired.
His company, he said, had made what he
considered fair, even liberal, offers for the
requisite surface ground, but to no pur-
pose. Tue Eureka Consolidated, be con-
tinued, had fully determined to sink a new
shaft, and would begin work on 1t at the
earliest possible moment. The company had
an ample fund set apart for this identical
purpose, and was only too anxious to make
a start. He intimated that his company
had been discussing the propriety Of re-
sorting to the condemnation law, which
admits OF the appraisement and condemna-
ton Of private property for mining pur-
poses in cases like this, but he was not yet
prepared to say whether a proceeding of
this nature would be instituted. "But,"
remarked Mr.. Read in conclusion, lyon
can tell your Eastern readers, and all
who may feel an interest in the matter,
that We intend to sink that shaft just as
soon as we can make arrangements for
suitable surface land"

THE TIDE.
WhaI Cheap Fare is Doing To- this
Coast.

Yesterday was a low fare day On the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad-that is, for emf
grants. The train passing Palisade last
night carried II carloads Of passengers for
the Atlantic side. Among the rest there
were four car. loads of Chinese. The train
to pass tonight will be still heavier, num-
bering % cars. We learn that about 20
passengers were taken on at Winnemucca,
and all other stations furnish emigrants in
about the same ratio. If the low rates are
continued for a few months, the surplus
labor on this coast will be transferred to
the East. We have a pretty we'll authenti-
Gated rumor that the Central Pacific will
maintain low rates for emigrants for some
time to come, notwithstanding the combi-
nation with the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. Let the idle and unemployed
go; it win be all the better for those left
behind. And, above all things, let us hope
that the Chinese tide is not permitted to
flag.

pronounced them frst-class. Just now
some matters are taking shape in the East.
which il is as well should not be made pub
lie until finally consummated. The mines
never looked so well ds they do today, and
when milling facilities are provided there
is no doubt that Tenn pahute will become a
great bullion producer. 1t is among the
probabilities that pipes will be laid aud an
abundant supply Of water brought in this
season. This water question, or rather a
scarcity Of water for milling and domestic
pos has been one Of the greatest
drawbacks TO the place.
Mr.. Beatty has full charge OF the Wyan-

as above. Thinking it appropriate, in view
Of the present distressed condition Of Ire
land, he sends it to us with a request to

Give me three grains of corn, mother,
Only three grains Of Germ;
Twill keep the little life have
Till the coming of the morn.
1 am dying OF hunger and cold, mother,
/ am dying of hunger and cold;
And half the agony of such . death
Ny lips have never told.
1t has gnswed like q wolf at my breast,
mother,
A wolf that il fierce for blood
All the iive-long day and night, beside
A gnawing for lack of food.
/ dreamed Of bread, in my sleep, mother.
And the sight was heaven to see;
awoke with an eager and famlshing lip,
But you had no bread for me.
How could 1 look to You, mother,
How could / look to you
For bread to give your starving boy
When you are starving. too.
1 see the famine on your cheek,
And IN your eye so wild;
Ifelt it in your bony hand
AS you laid it on your child.
What has poor Ireland done, mother?
What has poor Ireland DONE,
That the world looks on to see her starve,
A perishing one by one?
Do the men of England care not, mother,
The great men and the high,
For the suffering sons of Erin's Isle,
Whether they live or Gle?
There is many a brave heart here. mother,
A dying for want and cold,
While only across the channel, mother,
Are many thai roll in gold.
There are rich and poor men there, mother.
With wondrous wealth to view.
And the bread they fling to their dogs to-
night
Would give life to me and you
The Queen has lands and gold, mother,
The Qneen has lands and gold,
While you are forced. on your empty breast,
skeleton babe to hold
A babe that is dying of want, mother,
AS l am dying now:
The CHASTITY look in your sunken eye,
And the famine upon your brow.
Come nearer to my side, mother,
Come nearer to my side,
And hold me fondly. as you held
My father when he died.
Quick. for / cannot see you, mother
My breath is almost gone;
Mother. dear mother, before I die
Give me three grains of corn.

An old line Democrat, Of Eureka, who
takes a lively interest in the Presidential

for publication. We may add that it has

strike a responsive chord in the hearts of

interview between a Democratic Committee
of New York city presumably a Tammany

old gentleman talked about the disorgan-
izer, Kelly, to that committee suits me to a
dot. He says. in substance, that Kelly be-
longs to the slums, and that he will have
nothing whatever to do with him. h Is
the true business, and if Tilden will con-
tinue to talk in this manner he will receive
the earnest support Of all decent men in
the Empire State, irrespective OF party, and
make himself absolutely invincible before
the people. "No compromise with Boss
