AUSTIN, New, March 1, 1881.
EDITOR SENTINEL: l have been lying
on my oars, so to speak, as a correspondent
for the past several months, eagerly search
ing for sufficient material to make up an
average letter but thus far without sue
cess. Now, however, since the honorable
gentlemen from Lander -Assemblymen
Smythe and Soule, in Carson assembled
have INDUCED in such an interesting, pol
ished and cultivated epithet-heaving de-
bate over the healthy, or otherwise con-
dition Of that part Of the anatomy Of the
latter named gentleman lying Immediately
below the belt and since the Hon.
Smythe has SO amazingly transcribed any
thing before heard in the legislative halls
Of our country in his effort to prove the
exact amount of "alki-lie" contained in
the "durthy stummuk" of the average
Assemblyman, and since there is to be a
bloody settlement on account Of the above
expose, presumably to take place about
Truckee or Jacobsville Immediately upon
the adjournment OF that august body of
which the contestants are members; and
since the Jews, for q time, at least, have
loosened their grip on the throat of Harris,
Lewis d Co ~, more recently known as
Lewis, Lowenthal, Joakinson, Marcuse q
Co., and have turned their attention to q
division Of the spoils in the prospective ;
and since the Nevada Central has cleared
the sum OF 50, 900 in the past year
and has moved its depot up town, it flashes
athwart the brain Of your humble pencil
pusher that by straining a point he might
be able to hash up a dish, thereby filling a
column or so, and, besides raking in his
commission, have the satisfaction of feel
ing that he has done his duty, in part, at |
least.
%LEcTURING LEGISLATORS.
The exchange Of heated words recently
between the Hons. Soule and Smythe in
the Assembly has been the theme Of con-
siderable argument and unlimited CONVEX
sation for the past two or three days. The
most reasonable conclusion as yet arrived
at seems to be that the Hon. ~Soule-know-
ing, as he must have known, that Smythe
had the sworn testimony Of G. W. Hinch-
cliffe, Secretary Of the Nevada Central, in
his possession to fully prove and substan-
tiate his (Smythe's) statement OF the fact
that the Nevada Central did, and does, dis
criminate in favor Of outlying points, such
as Grantsville, Belmont, etc., a fact which
is known to every one in this section, and
not denied by the railroad itself-did
nothing more nor less than allow his gen.
erous nature to Guido itself in his en-
deavor to benefit others as they had bene-
flied him, and this he believed TO be for
the best interest Of his constituency Of his
political faith in particular. In connection
with the above there seems to be universal
regret among all classes that such q scene
should have been allowed to have been
enacted in the legislative session, and as
from the latest reports it appears the mat
ter has either been dropped or amicably |
adjusted, it is to be hoped that no such
another exhibition of bad blood will again
take place in the gatherings Of our local
law-makers-at all events not SO il Lam
der's representatives are to be the actors.

The depot Of the Nevada Central has
been moved from Clifton Canyon up to the
terminus OF the Austin City Railway at
Nichols lumber yard, making it much
more convenient for merchants and its
patrons generally, besides bringing an ad-
ditional and gratifying increase to the
business Of our little city line. 1t is
rumored that in q few weeks the Austin
City Railway is to discard the present mule
power and be worked by q new tangled
grade engine. This will surely make us
nave the showing of being q ~city-disin-
corporated as we soon expect to be, to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
MILL SHUT DOWN.
The Manhattan mill has been shut down
for some time past, and this, with the
general falling off of business at this sea-
son Of the year, causes q more than usual
dullness in all matters of trade. However,
the mill will soon start up and bring us
back to our reliable standing Of life and
business.
THE MANHATTAN FIRE.
The Manhattan Silver Mining Company
met with q slight loss on last Friday even
ing in the destruction Of their North Star
hosting works, causing q loss Of 81, 1000,
partially covered by insurance, but lum-
Der and building material are already on the
ground, and that portion Of their extern
sive works will soon be in an improved
shape and better than ever.
THE INTERNATIONAL HOTEL
Has lately been thoroughly renovated and
overhauled throughout, making 1t as hne
q domicile for the entertainment and care
Of the weary cosmopolite as can be found
in several days travel. Besides its COM
fort-giving features, it is q credit to its
proprietors. Messrs. Crescengo d Gandolfo.
and displays their energy and public spir-
itedness. withal. And, as to home com
forts, we must say, that the restaurant OF
that prince Of eaters, Loustalot-which is
under the same r%oof--is the boss place for
q man to get anything he may call for
whether he knows what it is or not-from
q quartered clam to whale on the half-shell.
cLAMoRINa FOR ADJUSTMENTS.
While the Austin and Battle Mountain
line OF railroad was being built, we con-
soled ourselves with the idea that after its
completion we would never suffer for want
Of a~musements; that we would be
visited by any quantity OF travelling
theatrical troupes, etc. Alas, fond
hopes, how easily shattered. We
have had our railroad for twelve months
andsnot q single show, with the exception
of Coles circus, has visited us. We fiat
tered ourselves that we would have all the
best companies on the road when the rail-
road was finished, but now-well, we
/ won't be so particular, only give us a show.
Ave, a Niger show, a peep show, any kind
Of a show, only don't show US up. Blu
that reminds me; we are going to have a
show. The Reese River Minstrels, q new
and somewhat mysterious organization has
been formed. and are already out in bright
coiored handbills advertising a perform
ance to be given by them on Saturday
evening next. As the performers, how
ever, lave seen fit to disguise their identity,
