Mr.. Bishop Gordon has received car
load Of the Monitor Seeders manufac-

Monitor sows all kinds of grain and
seed. 1t has every thing that can recon-
mend it to the farmer. Among other
things we might note is its perfectly ac-
curatc feed guage, its wind proof scat
terer, its reliable grass-seed attachment,
its perfectly accurate land measure, etc.
The wheels have the proper gather, as
those placed ON the best carriage or bug

makes it of easy draught, and does not
add any to its cost. The following war

WEARY WOMEN.

Nothing is more reprehensible and thor
oughIy wrong than the idea that woman
fulflls her duty by doing an amount of work
that is far beyond her strength. She not only
does not fulfill her duty. but she signally
fails in it, but the failure is truly deploTable.
There can be no sadder sight than that OF a
broken down, overworked wife and mother
"a woman who is tired all her life through.
If the woman of the household cannot be ac-
complished by order, system, and moderate
work, without the necessity of wearing,
heart-breaking toil-tOil that is never ended
and never jegun-without making life a
treadmil of labor, then, for the sake of hu-
maniJy, let the work go on. Better TO live
in the midst of disorder than that order
should be purchased at so high price-the
cost Of health, strength, happiness, and all
that makes existence eEdurable- The wO-
man who spends her life in unnecessary Ia
Dor, is by this very labor untitled for the
highest duties of home. She should be the
haven of rest to which both husband and
children turn for peace and refreshment.
She should be the careful adviser and guide
of the one, the tender, confident helpmate of
the other. How is it possible for woman
exhausted in body, as natural consequence
in mind also. to perform either of these offices?
No, it is not possible, the constant strain is
too great. Nature gives way beneath it.
She loses health and spirits and hOpefulness
and more than all her youth-the last that a
woman should allow to slip from her; for,
no matter how old she is in years, she should
be young in heart and feeling, for the youth
of age is sometimes more attractive than
youth itself. To the overwOrked woman this
green old age is out of question old age
comes on her sere and yellow before its time.
Her disposition is ruined, her temper soured,
her very nature is changed Toy the burden
which, being too heavy to carry, is dragged
along as long as wearied feet and tired hands
can do their part Even her affections are
blunted, and she becomes merely a machine,
"a woman without the time to train and
guide her children as only a mother can, a
wife without time to sympathize with and
cheer her husband, woman so overworked
during the day that when night comes hel
sole thought and most intense longing is foI
the rest and sleep that very probably will
not come and, even if il should, that she is
too tired tie enjoy. Better by far let every

standing on the brink of the precipice
throwing of his cloak
''No, no, General ~ cried the grenadiers
with one voice "you mustn't run such a risk
as that. Let one of us go instead your life
is worth more than all of ours put together. %
''N1y soldiers are my children" answered
Macdonald quietly, ''and no father grudges
/ his own life to save his SON.
The soldiers knew better than to make any
more objections. They obeyed in silence,
and the General was swinging in mid-air,
down, down, till he vanished at last into the
/ darkness of the cold, black depth below.
! Then every man drew long breath, and
all eyes were strained to watch for the first
/ sign Of his appearance, for they knew well
/ that he never would come back without the
! boy, and that the chance was terribly against
/ him.
/ Meanwhile Macdonald, having landed safe
/ ly at the foot of the precipice, was looking
anxiously around in search of Pierre; but the
/ beating of the drum had ceased, and he had
nothing to guide him.
pierre :" shouted he, at the top of his
/ voice, "where are you, my boy -
"HeTe, General 2" answered a weak voice
/ so faint that he conld barely distinguish it,
/ And there, sure enough, was the little fel
/ lows curly head half buried in mound OF
snow, which alone had saved him from being
/ dashed to pieces against the rocks as he fell.
( Macdonald made for him at once and al
! though he sank waist-deep at every step
reached the spot at last.
"All right now, my brave boy" said the
] General cheerily. Put your arms round my
neck and hold tight; We'll have you out OF
this in a minute
The child tried TO obey, but his stitched
fingers had lost all their strength; and ever
when Macdonald himself clasped the tiny
arms about his neck their hold gave way di
rectly.
What was to be done? \ few minutes
more, and the numbng colds of that disma
place would make the rescuer as powerless
as him whom he came to rescue. But Gen
Macdonald was,not the man to be so easily
beaten. Tearing off his sash and knottinl
one end of it to the rope he bound Pierre anC
himself firmly together with the other, and
then gave the signal to draw up.
And when the two came swinging up int
the daylight once more, and the soldiers saw
their pet still alive and unhurt, cheer upor
cheer rang out, rolling far back along tn,
line, till the very mountains themselve:
seemed to be rejoicing
'We've been under fire and snow toceth
er," said Macdonald, chatting the boys cold
hands tenderly, ''and nothing shall part Us
two after this, so long as we both live"
And the General kept his word. Years Ia
ter, when tine great wars were all over, there
might be seen walking in the garden of 2
quiet country house in the south of France a

once been the famous Marshal Macdonald

sion,' which the captain at once assured
them was the case.
The captains story was, that while lying
in the Thames at London, waiting for a re-
turn coasting freight he had visited all the
warehouses where he was likely to find any
goods for the Isle of Wight, when one of the
warehOusemen said:
'Isle of Wight-dO you know the place,
and also Newport 90
The captain replied that he knew both,
and almost every man in the town.
''Weli, then you may know this man," and
the black ieathern pOrtmanteau was pro-
duced.
'Oh, yes said the captain 81 know him
well, and have goods for him on board the
schooner. 1 will take charge, and pay any
thing there may be for warehousing."
The warehOuseman made a small charge
said he did not know how the trunk came
there, but that he was glad to be rid of it :;
and the captain carried it off, and in due
time it arrived at its proper destination, as
described.
Now. " said my father to the senior part
ner, take this key and open the trunk.

not; all know is that l put it there, but un-
der protest at the time"
The portmanteau was opened, and the
parcei found with all its seals intact. The
captain was dismissed for the night, with
charge to call at the bank the next day, and
father returned to his bed the happiest man
in the world.
The next day, in purely self-defence, the
story had to De told all around the town, so
as to silence the gOssippcrs. The captain
called at the bank the next day and received
as a reward sum beyond his expectations,
and which found the schooner a new suit of
{ sails.
How the pOrtmanteau came to be trans
ferred from the boot of the coach to the
warehouse was never explained, which 1

EVERYDAY HEROIsM. of the Life
Saving Stations on the California coast has
been officially named the "Maggy Geddes d"
a little girl of that name in San Antonio,
aged nine years, seeing playmate fall in the
miIl-race, leaped in with great skill and cool
ness and after desperate struggle succeed
ed in swimming with her ashore
Another little girl, year younger, in one
of the ew England towns, sprang into the
river a few weeks ago, and rescued her baby
brother from drowning, carrying him in her
arms through the swift current, which reach
ed her chin.
Now, it was a graceful act of recognition
to real heroism for the Government to give
the name of little Maggy Geddes to a Life
Saving Station, and it is right that these lit
tie heroines should be held up as examples
Of unselfish devotion to other girls and boys:
always provided that the right lesson is
drawn from the story.
Not many men, and very few children, ever
have the chance to save another life at the
risk of their own. Such supreme opportuni-
ties come but seldom. But every child should
remember that just as much unselfshneSs,
devotion and cool presence of mind can be
shown in the little incessant matters of every
day as go to make up some one great heroic
deed
In Gods eve. it is not the size nor the dra-
matte effect of the action which counts, but
its motive
Many young girl patiently bearing for
years the cares of disorganized household.
or the peevishness of an invalid parent, or
brother or sister; many boy, bringing in
domitable cheerfulness and love to the help
of his tired MOTHER is entitled to more admi-
ration and respect, and is just as heroic, as

There is in Philadelphia
a clearinghouse that began
a good many years ago to
do a peculiar business. 1t
marked goods in plain fig
ures, and described them in
plain letters its prices were
absolute, its descriptions
were true. People had full
knowledge of what they
were buying there, and yet
if afterward they we're sorry
they had bought, they could
go back the next day and
exchange for something else,
or, if they liked, get their
money back. 1t was a safe
place to get clothes it was
a safe place to leave money.
People liked that house.
1t grew, and grew, and
grew, until it became a
great house. To-day it is
the largest clearinghouse
anywhere ; and it keeps up
the old practices no secrets
about what its clothes are
made of, one price, and
the money back if the buy
er wants it. OF course, it
uses all grades of cloths
that are worth using, and
makes all grades of cloth
ing that are worth making;
for it serves all sorts of peo-
pie.
Those at all familiar with
Philadelphia already know
that we are speaking of
OAK HALL, the original of
the WANAMAKER STORES.
There has been great i'm
!! provement in ready-made
clothing in nineteen years
and OAK HALL has taken
the lead equally in econ
omy, reliability, and rapid
ity of production ; in the
quality of finished work
and in the development of
a method of business hav-
ing for its first object the
satisfaction of customers.
1t IS worth your while to
know that you, whoever and
wherever you are, can get
your clothing to better ad-
vantage there than any
where else. If too far
away to go, write. You
will receive in reply samples
of cloths, and prices of
ready-made suits from them,
with a diagram and instruc-
tions for measuring. The
rest is plain.

Hours AND MINUTEs.-Why is one hour
divided into sixty minutes ? and each minute
again into sixty seconds ? Why not divide
our time like we do our money, by tens,
counting ten, OF fifty or one hundred minutes
to an hour. This question was asked 10y an
intelligent boy a few days since and the
answer given him may botn interest and in
struct other young people. The answer is
this We have sixty divisions on the dials of
our clocks and watches, because the old
, Greek astronomer, Hipparchus, who lived in
/ the second century before Christ, accepted
I the Babylonian system of reckoning time,
/ that system being seXigesimai. The BabylO-
mans were acquainted with the decimal sys-
! TEN; but for common and practical purposes,
| they counted 10y sossi and sari, the sOSsos,
representing sixty, and the Saros, sixty times
sixty, is thirty-siX hundred From Hippar-
/ chus that mode of reckoning found its way
/ into the works of Ptoemy, about $50 A. D.,
and hence was carried down the stream OF
science and civilization, and found the way
to our dial plates OF our clocks and watches

Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1880-09-30

Mr.. T. s. Douglas is announced in this
mornings SENTINEL as a candidate for the
Assembly. He will submit his name, Of
course, to the Republican County Conven-
ton, of which party he has been q consist
ent, active and influential member from
the earliest history of that organization.
Mr.. Douglas has been a resident of Eureka
for eleven years, and is well and favorably
known to all Of our people. He is intelli-
gent and wide-awake, and would make an
excellent membe Of the Legislature. He
is popular withal, and would make a strong
run before the people. Tommy Douglas,
as the head Of fire matters in times past.
has been of great value to the community,
and should not be forgotten by those he
has served. He has also been one of the
main spokes in the Republican wheel in
this section of the State during his long
residence in our midst. He is a member
of the Republican State Central Commit
tee, and is particularly anxious to secure a
strong and acceptable Legislative ticket.
Hence he has determined to yield to the
solicitations Of his friends, and allow the
use of his name. The convention to as
semble to-day could do no wiser thing than
place him on the ticket. But is not likely
that he is on the estate" and it is more
than likely that he will get left.
