now evident thai the Imprisonment Of Par

The place around her is enchanted;
Sweetly she pauses, troubled, haunted.
For all the cir seems full OF Love-
Music of billing and of cooling,
Music Of little winged things wooing
Around her, under, and above.
With rosy ears and tingling fingers,
Like Venus mid her doves she fingers.
Her bosom rich with honied things
The gladness round her has no measure,
The warm air palpitates for pleasure.
Troubled by white and waving wings.
What filter time to creep and WOO her, =.
When hight and sound and love thrill throuas

Stirring her gentle blood like wine,--
All geutlo things that round her hover
Conspire, o happy, happy, lover.
To honey her sweet mouth for thine.

The old house OF Mount was q commodious but
ugly house. 1t was not even 80 old as 1t ought TO

picturesque remains Of antiquity. and that was IN
the back of the house, and did not show. The only

THE NORMAL SCHOOL Fuss.

Charles Allen, Principal of the State
Normal School of California at San Jose,
started in recently to prosecute one of
the lady teachers and drive her ont
OF the institution on the most trivial
charges. He arraigned her for being a
"romp." But the most disastrous mis-
sile he hurled at her pretty head was
that she had been oversportive and asked
her class of girls a co%nundrum. 1t does
not appear in the published testimony
whether they had been long enough on
the coast to answer it; but she did give
them al old gag-"Why can't a locomo-
tive sit down" The schoolmarm would
not put up with any f~oolishness. She
kicked over a big hornets nest and set
the singing insects about his ears in the
shape Of a libel suit. School teaching is
a most worthy profession, but it has its
vulnerable points. That the ~pedagogue
is not unlikely to degenerate into a crank
is only too true. And the worst feature
of the puerile s~quabbles that they some-
times indulge themselves with is, that
they suffer only in the lowered estimate of
the community, while the young people,
whose destinies they have in hand, be-
come demoralized and look upon their
instructors with contempt.

From Mr.. Robt. 8. Conley, formerly

cipal mine Of Tuscarora, was attached and
closed down. Since the suspension Of work

oun rINANCEs AGAIN.

1t has been the object Of the articles
on State finances published in the SEN
rrNEL to bring the matter up for consid-
Grafton. The question of our future
solvency is of extreme Importance. : The
issue should be squarely looked at. This
paper has been in no way spiteful with
anybody in discussing the question. That
any party is to blame for the condition
that we find ourselves in has not been
brought into the discussion. This forms
no essential part of the business, and 1t
ought to be clear that personalities are
trivial in a matter of mere facts and
figures. The Reno Journal has informed
itself. and from the information obtained
takes a more cheerful view OF the sltua-
ton than ever. 1t is certainly gratifying
for us to concede that the showing OF
figures made by our esteemed contem-
porary takes off a little Of the blue that
darkens our outlook into the coming few
years. But granting all that the journal
argues for, still the SENTINEL has uttered
anything but nonsense" To take the
kernel right out of the discussion, sup
pose it be allowed, without discussion,
that when the Legislature meets,
Jan. l, 1888, the State of Nevada
will have a borrowing margin left
of 1896. 600. The Journal claims this
magnificent sun for a refuge. And
GRANT also that at the time mentioned
there will be 5000, 900 in the State Treas
urv. Now. the State, with the retrench-
mcnts made by the last Legislature, EVIL
IDENTIFY cannot be maintained on S2OO,0OO
q year, to say nothing of the lump that
the Legislature will take out of this sum
for its own expenditures, say $50, 600. In
any event, by Jan. /, 1884, the residuum
of borrowing power will be materially
less than $l35, 900. Put it for that time
at $75,0 900. And so IN annually. As
before, the SENTINEL reiterates that we
are surely and rapidly enough in all con-
science reaching the end of the rope.
This conclusion is inevitable, if we pre-
sumo that our resources are not dimin-
ished. Twenty-eight million dollars is
a paltry aggregate of taxable values to
run a State Government on any way you
look at it. If we should strike some bo-
nanzas we will be rich and happy again
while the boom lasts. But such specu-
lation Is barred. And the serious ques-
ton recurs, what are we going to do
about it?

MONTANA.
Descriptive Letter From an Occa'
siOnal Correspondent.

Descriptive Letter From an Occa'
sionaI Correspondent.
This whole country north Of the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads, Ida
no as we'll as Montana, was terra incognita
to me. Until 1 had come here and seen it,
l had no conception Of it whatever. l
knew it by its place on the map, and that
was ALL. 1t is so different from Nevada.
1t is a land of mountains and interesting
valleys, but the mountains are, for the
most part, covered with dark forests OF
pine, while in the valleys you find none OF
the Internal sagebrush and alkali and sand
that prevail in Nevada. The whole coun-
try, even to the SUBMITS Of the mountains,
is covered with a fertile soil. Much Of it
is too high for agriculture, but for stock
grazing it is unsurpassed. For irrigation
there are thousands of streams which af-
ford all the water needed. Deer Lodge, the
place from which I write, is situated 40
miles north of Butte, and is n Of the
Oldest towns in Montana. 1t is the pro-
posed terminus of the Utah Northern
RAILROAD, and only nine miles from the
line of the Northern Pacific Road. Until
last Winter Deer Lodge County had been
the leading county of the Territory. Sill
yer Bow County, in which Butte is stu
ated, was, during the last Legislature,
wholly organized out OF Deer Lodge.
The latter is now the third
in wealth and population. There are five
or six other towns in the county, this be-
ing the county seat. 1t is a place Of about
1000 inhabitants. 1t has three hotels, one
of which, the McBurney House, sets q
better table than any hotel l remember in
| Nevada, and charges only 81 q week for
board. There are two colleges here, one
| Catholic and one Protestant. Both are
quite respectable brick buildings, much
larger than the Elko University. The
United States Territorial Prison is here,
and the Insane Asylum is in the country
about seven miles from town. Deer Lodge
is situated in a beautiful valley 80. or 40
miles long and 10 or IL miles wide. Most
OF the farms are fenced and a great por-
ton of the land is cultivated. / know Of
| no valley in Nevada in which there are so
many well improved farms. / nave rented
a real nice house here with six rooms in it
for $l2 a month. Wood is SIS a cord, -four
| S. per 100 pounds, beef from 6 to IL cents
a pound, potatoes X cents a pound now,
though they are usually sold at three
quarters of a cent. This Fall a great
many were frozen before they could be
dug, hence the raise in price. On the
whole, 1 have never in any country seen a
more prosperous people. Everybody is
doing we'll. All the old timers are either
rich or in a fair way to become SO. The
railroads and the Butte mines will do
something great for Montana during the
next few years. At any rate, / shall not
soon hunt for a better country.

THE NINTH MAssACHUsErTs.

This crack regiment of militia, on
their way to Yorktown lately to take
part in the Centennial celebration, got
on a craze and thought that the rebellion
had come again. They took whatever
they wanted from the citizens of Rich
mond, insulted ladies on the streets and
behaved ~shamefully in every respect.
This is not what was to be expected
from Massachusetts,, the parent of great
moral ideas. While we condole with
this old and honorable commonwealth in
her disgrace, we have to shake hands
with Texas that she had no cowboys at
the Centennial of Corvallis downfall.
