THE MELvILLEs.
The Opera Troupe Take - the Com.
stock by Storm.

u opera Troupe n es the Com.
stock by Storm.
From the Virginia City papers we learn
that the Emily Melville Opera Troupe has
created a furore in that city, and although
the great assure may for the time-being be
dead, there is a veritable boom in amuse-
ments, and the bouffers have struck a
bonanza. The Chronicle says Of the sec
ond evenings performance Of the Com
pany: 1.-THE largest audience seen in the
Opera House for months packed it last
night. Even the aisles were crowded. The
Royal MILDLY was the attraction. The
opera Is full Of incident and movement,
and has many funny situations. The music
Is sparkling. the scenery was good,
and the costuming Of the characters
rich and tasteful. Frequently the stage
was quite gorgeous as 6 spectacle" The
Chronicle then gives q lengthy and most
favorable criticism OF the opera and con-
cludos by saying that the MILDLY was a
tremendous success" The Enterprise
says 1.-THE second appearance Of
the Melville Company, last night,
received the ovation Of another house
crowded from top to bottom. Genee's spec
tacular comic opera, The Royal MILDLY
was the piece presented, and delighted
everyone present. 1t ia one OF the best
operas Of that character now on the stage,
and its beautiful melodies at times reach
this score Of a grand opera" The Enter
prise goes into ecstasies over the singing
and performance, and gives the company a
most flattering notice.
The troupe will open in "The Royal
MILDLY" here, and we promise the public
the finest treat ever given in q thsater In
Eureka.

A Series of Lectures.

We understand that Rev. O. b. Craw-
ford, rector Of st. James Episcopal
Church, has in contemplation a series OF
lectures. to be delivered on Sunday even
ing in place Of the regular sermon. 1t is
not yet fully decided upon what subject
the lectures will be given but they will
doubtless treat upon historical events con-
nected with the early rise Of the Church.
Mr.. Crawford is well known as a speaker,
and his ability will insure to the public an
entertainment rarely afforded. 1t is q
matter worthy OF encouragement, and
should receive the hearty support OF the
entire community. Whenever the subject
Is fully decided upon, which will be within
q few days, notice will be duly given.

Ruby and Dunder berg.

The Ruby and Dunderberg smelter has
been in steady operation for the pvst three
months upon ores from the companys
mines. The employees Of the company are
now engaged in preparing another furnace,
SO that when the one now in use requires
repairing, they need not shut down for that
purpose. They have sufficient coal on
hand to last two weeks, without the aid Of
coke, which they use to a considerable ex-
tent. The ores. Of which they have 800
tons at the furnace, carry a low percentage
Of lead, and in consequence the average
bullion yield h only about three tons per
week. The company's mines are In q very
prosperous condition, and give promise Of
an unlimited supply Of low grade ore. The
ore taken from the 700-foot level during
the last week varied in value from 10
ounces silver and half an ounce gold, to 80
ounces silver and 5 ounces gold per ton.
The Superintendent informs us that IL ia
the intention of the company TO continue
working and developing the property.

Bodie Free Press: A short, squatty
man. with a sharp eye. bullying nose and
wearing a Johnny han~d-me-down" suit
Of clothes, dumped himself into the
Parole Saloon last evening and str uck the
bar mid ships. 81 Ryan knew he was Q Mill
Greek millionaire, and greeted him as such.
The M. @. m. pulled out Of his pocket "a
specimen" "Just struck this yesterday
in the bottom of the shaft; have a whole
lot Of 1t; ledge four teet wide; made q test
to-day; assays $500 per ton, put II in your
cabinet; I've given you zoe feet in the

more but don't want to show up" remarked
the millionaire, as he set his mouth for q
drink. Ryan eyed the piece OF rock and
then glanced at the subject before him. II
also have a specimen" remarked the
mixologist, reaching for a large club with
q bad end. And as he swung 1t around
the millionaire was unfortunate enough to
get it across the head. 81 have q better
specimen thar this, but 1t is too big for
you," added Ryan. But the Mill Greek
man was outside before he could make
another dash.

A Printers Funeral sermon.

The following eloquent tribute was read
over the grave Of Arminius Kearns, q prin-
ter who died at San Jose, Cal, recently:
"Old friends, here's one for remembrance.
Think you not that as we, the craft, have
this day borne you from our midst to the
silent, lonely city Of the dead, we recognize
that we have laid away one Of the truest,
purest, warmest-hearted friends that ever
sailed with us Town the isle Of life? Think
you not that, with the moisture Of the
heavens over US, we, too, are shedding
silent tears that the chase of u compan-
ionship is broken; that the lines of our
being must henceforth run apart; that your
presence is no longer q copy among us;
that FOUR thoughtful, though pleasant,
face no longer ilumes or cheers our
midstp And think you not, in this parting
tribute. we, who have known you longest
and best, do not temper our grief with the
reflection that in the eternity to which you
have gone, the pains, the sorrows, the dis
appointments which were yours-not
earned, but a heritage-are over, and that,
though the little space between US be
ever SO slight, it encompasses a freedom
and a Joy that was never yours? Old
friend, rest on There Is no more night
work. Day has dawned. The sod above
your grave will not be greener than the
memories you have left behind you. The
rose and violet that will blossom beside the
stone that marks your resting place will
give no sweeter perfume than the fragrant
place you held in the column Of our af-
f~ectionate regard. The clouds that must
forever hide you from our gaze but hint
the bourne from whence no traveller re-
turns, and to which all Of US must soon
bear you company. Kearns, we shall miss
you-the light Of other days. Keep the
form open; we are all soon dead"

Di.agreeabre women.

A disagreeable woman is like a vacuum;
there is no place for her in nature. She is
q parody upon herself. If there is a touch
OF beauty about her she gives those she
meets the sort Of a shock one would feel on
taking what appears to be wine, and is in
reality vinegar. Fortunately she is very
seldom beautiful, in the true sense of the
word. Nature does not lend itself to
shams. 1t is pitilessly exacting. Sweet
ness OF the face must result from sweetness
OF disposition. The face is not a mask,
but q mirror. 1t reveals everything with
terrible -ingenuousness. Availability is not
to be simulated to the observant eye. You
cannot stamp the marks, the lines, the
flowing curves Of the agreeable on your
face, unless you have the quality in your
breast. For this reason the disagreeable
is never really beautiful. Her fea-
lures, at their best, remind you of etch-
ings the effects have been "bit in" by
acids. The forms Of the disagreeable in
women are infinite, but the effects of all
are the same. In place of attraction there
is repulsion ; in place of love, pity-if not
scorn ; in place of happiness, sour discon-
tent. The disagreeable is irksome
to every created thing, including herself.
There is positively only one way to deal
with her-turn her into a joke.

Very Nasty Meas.

Record Union: As the Kalloch trial
drags its slow length along a series of very
dirty transactions is being developed. Both
the prosecution and the defense have
charged one another with hiring false wit
nesses, and the examinations already had
in these charges certainly justify the i'm
preston that thus far nobody has been
iibeled. 1t is conspicuously apparent that
perjury has been employed in the case,
though to what extent and in what interest
cannot as yet be clearly determined. There
appears in fact to be such an atmosphere
Of intrepid ~mendacity about the whole
case that il is impossible not to feel for the
Jury which Is called upon to decide 1t.

r AT TYPO.


Reported Sale of the Typo Con-
The Mining Outlook-Etc.
Typo, March 0, 1881.
EDITOR SENTINEL: 1t is rumored here
that Mr.. English has sold the Typo Con-
solidated Company's mining property
to Eastern capitalists. If this be true, l
hope the new company may give as entire
satisfaction as the former owners. A bet
ter company than the Typo Consolidated
never existed. All contracts entered into
by the managers were sacredly fulfilled,
and bills promptly paid each month,
which is more p~raiseworthy as the stock
could not be assessed should the COM
pany's expenses at any time exceed its
monthly proceeds. The property is second
to none in the State, if the Richmond and
Eureka Con. companies be excepted, and
when the Two G mine attains the depth
OF the mines belonging to the above men,
toned companies, it will compete favora-
bly, with them for the laurels Of being the
gem Of the Pacific Coast.
There are a number of other promising
claims in this district, among which are
the Page & Donnal, the Bed Rock, with a
three-foot ledge Of galena, the Luce 4
Dimick, and The Independence, which has
a well defined ledge Of high grade ore.
Reports come from Florence District that
the mines are looking we'll. All they de-
sire now is to have a mill erected in the
immediate vicinity to work their ores.
Business has been very dull here since
the Typo Con closed down their works.

The Capacity of q Horse.

For the purpose Of determining the
capacity Of q horse to undergo the priva-
tons incident to q state Of siege, a series
Of experiments has been made in Paris.
The result shows That q horse may hold
out for twenty-five days without any solid
nourishment, provided 1t Is supplied with
sufficient good drinking water; that q horse
can subsist on barley five days without
water; and. thirdly. that II q horse is well
fed for ten days, but insuficiently supplied
with water throughout this period, it will
not outlive the eleventh day. A horse
which had received no solid nourishment
for twelve days was nevertheless in q con
dition to draw a load Of 600 pounds on the
twelfth day OF his fast.

An Object or sympathy.

1t is to be regretted that there is no So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children in Eureka. Such an organize
ton would find an extensive field for labor
here. From time to time instances of
cruelty to the little ones have been brought
to our notice, but we have refrained from
giving publicity to them under the i'm
preston that the inhuman parents would
eventually realize their brutal conduct.
and stop it. Our sympathies have lately
been aroused, however, to such an extent
in behalf Of a toddling little child in Pow
erty Gulch that we cannot refrain from
drawing public attention to it, in the hope
Of enlisting the aid of some good people to
change the child's condition. The little
thing in question is about three years Of
age, and very pretty when it is washed,
which is very seldom. She was left in
care OF her present guardians by her
mother, who went to Cherry Creek some
months since to seek employment, promis-
ing to send remittances occasionally to pay
for the child's keeping. The mother has
evidently not been as successful as she
expected she would be, or has forgotten
her little one, as the remittances have been
few and far between. This failure to pro-
vide for the little girl has turned her guar
dams into tormentors, and the neighbors
inform us that she suffers the most shame
full treatment at the hands of her unnatural
foster parents. So revolving is the punish
ment at times melted out to the little crea-
ture that we are surprised the ~neighbors
have not put a stop to it ere this. 1t is an
outrage against common decency to allow
this helpless innocent little girl to remain
in her present position any longer. II
some good people will not take and pro-
vide for the little innocent, let our County
Commissioners investigate the matter, and
if necessary transfer her to the State Or
