ABOUT, GRANT. BY JonN L. SWIFT. Boston;
Lee, Shepherd & Co. Washington J. ID. Free, jr.
The life OF General GRANT is closely inter
woven with that OF the war to crush rebellion,
and tho civil service OF the country for eight
years subsequently. Since 1876 lie has been
subject to u series Of ovaions in the Old World
and AT home such as has never fallen to tile lot
OF man. He Is sustained with much fervor for
denomination by his party for tho Presidency,
all Of which gives especial interest at this
time to tho record Of his life. Tho people are
anxious to read of him, aud hence he now has
more lives than cat. The above title repre-
scnts n very neat little volume which contains
a Diief history of the warrior statesman,
iaminally but truthlully written. 1t is n
modest but very truthful history.
The Appetons' New Handy Volume Series
presents the public with very interesting
sketch Of the great singers from Faustina Bor-
dOni, to Henrietta SontNg including a part of
two centuries, from the pen Of George T.
Ferris. Also a neat compendium edition of
the life and letters of Lord Macauay, by
Charles II. Jones.
The American Health Primer, published
by Presley & Blakiston, Philadelphia, affords
u very interesting little volume on brain
work aud oycrwork, which is Of rare value to
the student or professional man of close appli-
cation to brain work. This paper is from the
pen Of DR.. IL. G. Wood, chief professor of
nervous diseases in the University of Penn

Reducing Expenses.

Silver State: In several counties in Ne
vada the conventions Of both parties
adopted resolutions favoring the reduction
Of the expenses of the State Government.
Last summer the Silver State, Eureka SEN
tinel and other papers discussed the SUBJ
ject at considerable length, and it was
generally conceded, in view Of the falling
off in revenue from the taxes on the pro-
ceeds OF the mines, that it is not only ad-
yisable, but necessary, to reduce the ex-
penses of the government. As this can
only be accomplished by legislation, and
perhaps amendments to the Constitution,
the members the next Legislature will
have an opportunity to distinguish them
selves in devising measures of economy.
Our county conventions failed to instruct
the legislative nominees to support such
measures, but it is nevertheless their duty
to do so. 1t is quite probable that the
State Treasury will be about empty when
the Legislature adjourns, and that the
State will have to borrow money or in
crease the rate of taxation within q year.
People are so carried away by the Presi-
DENTAL contest that they arc apt to lose
sight Of State affairs altogether, though
local matters are at least Of as much i'm
p~ortance to the people of Nevada as ma
tional affairs.

ssHanda Up.o

Bodie Standard-News An ancient mari
ner, with q flowing white beard, q silver
watch in his right vest pocket, a pair Of
eye glasses attached to q watch cord about
his neck and terminating In his left vest
pocket, and . small purse containing $3.50
in his flank pocket, was "hooHng" 1t from
Aurora to Bodie yesterday, and when about
midway between the old Del Monte mill
and Sunshine he met three respectable
looking men tramping down the canyon.
One OF the respectable looking tramps
called for the ancient mariners watch.
He replied that he had none. The respect
able looking tramp called for his purse,
which the ancient mariner passed out.
The respectable looking tramp took ont the
change, tossed the purse into the creek,
and handed the ancient mariner a half
dollar with the remark I'VE are going
across the mountains and need q little
money; you are going to Bodie where you
can make o raise; four bits will give you
two drinks at Sunshine and o two-bit meal
in Bodie. Good day, sir" and the parties
pursued their respective journeys. The
ancient mariner got his two drinks at Sum
shine and took supper at the U. s. Bakery
in Bodie. The face Of one Of the robbers
was quite familiar to the ancient mariner,
who was doubtless also well known to the
robber.

The above organization met last evening
on Main street; elected officers, conferred
degrees, elevated and let down lin the
mud several distinguished members, and
otherwise deported themselves as becomes
the Order. Several speakers took the
stand, only to be sprawled in the mud by
a stream from the h~ose-nozzle or raised by
a Chinese bomb. One fanatical member
waived the Orders colors so vigorously
upon the street and sidewalks as to clean
out the entire crowd of spectators. Their
bonfires burned as majestically as did
those of the Republican ratificationists on
Monday night, and about the same quality
OF enthusiasm was manifest. A couple OF
''roughs," who e~ndeavored to break up the
meeting, got rather the worst Of it. They
attached a hose to the plug in front Of
Gulliford a. McKee's saloon, and one
turned on the water while the other stood
at the nozzle. The water came on with
full force, and the nozzle man went down
on his left ear. He couldn't handle the
thing, but he hung on, and the hose flung
him about as Multitude fips his bullwhip
buckskin cracker. Upon q wood pile,
down into the chips, out into the street,
and then into the open doors Of Louis
Ballich's saloon did that hose toss the linn
Der fireman and then he let go. The water
was turned off, but the two miscreants
will to-day receive their papers as men,
bers of the Infirmary.

A Good Crowd, and a food Race-
Upwards Of $500 Changed Hands
Evidences of ROusIng Races nj
the Jockey Clubs Grounds Thi,
Week.
Yesterday was a beautiful day for q rid
to the race track, and no less than twenty.
five or thirty carriages and buggies, to.
gether with many horsemen, availed them.
selves of the opportunity to run down and
see the quarter-mile race. A SENTINEL re.
porter accepted an invitation to ride down
in one Of Sweeney q Co.'s carriages, and
at the track found the horses already
warming up. Pool-selling was going on
at a brisk rate, running about even with
FL Captain and Dusty Bob as first choice,
DicF Ford second and Sorrel George last.
II the first choice took Ell Captain at $40,
the second choice would be Dusty Bob at
81 so but towards the last Bob was as
often first as Ell Captain, and then the lat
ter horse would be bid up even. Dick
Ford ran about four-ffths in the pools,
and Sorrel George about one-half and
dropped as low as two-ffths.
At about 3 o'clock p. M. the n Of
the horses were called up, each and every
n were up with their $50 their riders
we're selected, and the toss resulted in CIV
ing the little horse Dick Ford the inside,
Sorrel George next, Ell Captain No. 8, and
Dusty Bob the outside. Much scoring
was INDUCED in before a send-of was
given, and the whole troop came thunder
ing down the course, just ahead of q cloud
Of dust. They distanced the dust as they
crossed the scratch in front of the judges
stand; thence they Travelled faster than
the wind.
Contrary to all expectations, the little b..
6. Dick Ford, George Stitt owner, and with
a little Spaniard for o rider, came in, lead
ing the troop in fine style and amid ire
mendous cheering. We did not see a whip
used ON him at all, though his rider kept
a sharp lookout for Sorrel George, who
was close up in his rear all the way through
and was not a length behind at the last
jump over the line. Dusty Bob came home
well ON the outside and about half a length
behind George, while Ell Captain was a
full length in the rear Of all.
Best time, ~ ~seconds-by ]. G. Powell's
reckoning.
Speaking very mildly, the result was an
astonisher, even to the owner Of the win
ming horse himself.
From parties who were upon the starting
ground we learn that the efforts to get the
horses off together were Intellectual. One
man claims that Dick Ford and George
were both at the score under full Roadway
while Ell Captain was still headed up the
track, and when he was turned and going
over the score he was fully 40 feet in the
rear of Dick Ford.
Evidently there was some fault in the
starting, for there ID no doubt but that
either horse on the track to-day can beat
the time, 81 seconds. Ell Captain has made
the race in 26, and over the same sand.
This race had the effect to warm up the
blood of the horsemen, and will make
certain parties awake to an idea OF extra
exertion, if they expect to win anything
in the races of next Friday. Saturday and
Sunday.
Altogether the race of yesterday was
worth going down to see, even though no
one was financially interested.

AN IMPORTANT DUTY - DON'T
NEGLECT 1T.

To-day at @ o'clock P. M. the regis
tration books will close throughout the
county. The right of suffrage is one Of
the highest, and should be one Of the most
sacred privileges OF American citizenship.
Good government depends mainly on the
character of the men selected to admin
lister it. 1t is, therefore, incumbent upon
every good citizen to qualify himself to
participate in the selection OF those who
are to hold the reins Of government for
the ensuing term. To be prepared to do
this, registration must not be neglected,
and especially let every Democratic citizen
see to it that his name is properly enrolled
before the going down Of to-morrow's sun.
