THE CHINESE NATIONAL FLOWER.

In the year 1873 there were many illusions made
in the papers, about wonderful flower from
China. Lovers of flowers were getting excited,
and were very anxious to procure plant The Vir-
GINA City New Territorial Enterprise speaks
thus, in article about the flower: .'The Chinese
plant them in season to have them bloom their
New Year. The bulbs are all brought from
China The Chinese say that there is but one
place in China where they grow wild and natural
ly The Chinese not only love the flower them
selves but are also pleased to see it growing III
the houses ofther employers. They say it will
only grow and blossom we'll for the good, and
have many superstitous notions III regard to it.
The Chinese laundrymen frequently present these
plants to their customers and at every visit after
they have seen them properly planted stop to trim
them and give them little attention. To for
bid the importation of these bulbs would probably
drive all the Cinnamon out of the country"
When the American Botanists saw this beauti-
full flower, they knew it to belong to the Narcis-
Sus family. Our cut exhibits one ofthese flowers.

How TO make Farmers Of the Boys.

r. "A New Jersey letter to the Examiner" lays the
blame at the door of shftless farmers for so many
farmers sons leaving agriculture for other pnr-
suits. He says:
THAT the fault OF all this lies with the parents
themselves is plain, from the fact that with the
thrifty farmers the number of sons who leave
home and forfeit their brth-rght is small indeed.
BY the sole use of an acre of ground, a pair os
horses which they can call their own, perhaps
the entire charge OF the poultry. they become in
ter esed and the farm is made to have attractions
for them. Let good agricultural books and papers
be furnished them, and their education be encour-
aged in every proper way; the waste places on
the farm be planted and made fruitful, and crook
ed fences be made straight. Let everything in
and about the garden be done decently. and the
front yard be kept in order and long before the sons
of these farmers become of age they will learn
/ that agriculture is the most certain source of
strength, wealth. and independence" a.,

a CABINET NOMINATION.

The telegraph informs us that President
Arthur yesterday sent to the Senate for
confirmation as Secretary Of the Treas
ury the name of Ex-Governor 4. ID.
Morgan of New York. OF course he
will be promptly confirmed. This noml'
nation makes clear several things in con
n~ection with the new Cabinet. 1t makesi 1T
clear that Conkling is not to be a men,
Der, and it is not likely that two men
will be selected from the same State. 1t
is made clear also that President Arthnr
has been guided by Conkling in the Sc
lection Of a Secretary of the Treasury.
Ex-Governor Morgan is not only q stall
wart, but a close personal and political
friend of the ex Senator. 1t VIII be re-
membered, in this connection, that Conk-
ling quarreled with the late President Gar
field because the latter did not give the
Trcasuryship to the State of New York.
Conkling claimed that the great wealth
and Importance of the Empire State de-
manded this distinction. But in reality
the claim was put forth in the interest OF
the Nail street bankers and money
changers.
Ono or two items of local concern are
likewise disposed of by the choice oil MIR.
Morgan. Senator Jones, of ours, will
not accept a place in the Cabinet, now
that the Treasuryship has been assigned
to New York. That was supposed to be
the sole position he would consent to
take. Hence Governor Kinkead will not
be called upon to appoint his successor.
This leaves Colonel Bishop and General
Clarke and ex-Congressman Woodburn
and the rest of the Republican Senate
rial aspirants, stalwart and half-breed, in
this State to take their chances before the
people in the regular way. While deeply
sympathizing with the gentlemen Of dis
appointed hopes We cannot but congratu-
late Governor Kinkead ON his escape
from the performance of a most disagree
able duty. His position, amid the pres
sure Of the friends Of the rival appli-
cants, would have been an embarrassing
one, had it fallen to his lot to name a
successor of Senator Jones. Shake,
Gov, shake, on your fortunate escape
from so dire n calamity.

A NERYY MAN.

General p. E. Conner is a man Of. iron
nerve He showed this quality in an
eminent degree while in the army in
dealing with the Mormons and hostile
Indians Of the plains. He is not less
brave in great enterprises involving the
investment of heavy sums of money.
About four years ago he organized and
incorporated the Eureka Tunnel Com
pany Of this district. Much of the
stock was either given to friends or sold
at nominal figures. No assessment was
ever levied. The General went on in
vesting his own private funds until he
had expended over $50, 600 in the driving
Of the great tunnel. He put it in 1000
feet almost wholly at his own expense.
His energy and enterprise have at last
been rewarded by the discovery Of one
of the largest ore bodies ever uncovered
in this State. If there is any man Oh
earth deserving of this lucky turn Of
Fortunes wheel, that man is Genera
Common. We sincerely congratulate hin
on his good fortune.

many Hall and Irving Hall were treated
exactly alike. The doctrine laid down
by the convention was that the Demo-
cratic party is big enough to contain all
who subscribe to Democratic principles.
Special organizations within the party
are to be discountenanced in the future.
Every one may have a hearing as a regu-
lar Democrat, but the hall nuisance is to
be abated. And we are told that this was
the work of Mr.. Tilden. If so, we say
good for Tilden. The rival halls and
factions have created quite mischief
enough in New York. The Democratic
party throughout the country is to be
congratulated that a decided step has
been taken in the direction of asserting
supreme control by the party over every
form of organization protesting allegi-
ance to it. A Democrat pure and SIM
pie is good enough. To be a member Of
Tammany, Irving or any other hall
should confer no additional weight OIL
insure no greater privileges or adyan-
tages in any partisan sense.

be taken to jeopardize 1t. They urge both
sides to keep out Of the Courts and politics,
and attempt a compromise. The represen.

REPUBLICAN DAVIS.

Every Democrat must hold Senator
David Davis in the most supreme con.
tempt. Claiming to be an Independent,
elected largely by Democratic votes, he
never fails to ''fall down" on the Demo-
Gratis ON every important occasion. He
has never yet voted with the Democrats
on any vital question. He resigned from
the Supreme Bench when the Electoral
Commission had been created, thereby
making the way clear for the theft of the
Presidency from Samuel j. Tilden. He
failed us again when a new Vice-Presi-
dent was to be chosen last month, and he
has in like manner failed us every time
that his vote would help the Republi-
cans and injure the Democrats. True,
he has occasionally voted with the Dem.
ocrats on questions of trifing political
significance. but this was only to keep up
a showing Of assumed independence. At
heart David Davis. is as much a Republi.
can as Jim Blaine. and as between the
two, and as a Democrat, we would
rather vote for Blaine than Davis for any
office within the gift of the people. The
SENTINEL cares nothing about the Repub.
licans having secured the Vice-Presi-
dency. There is nothing in it, except in
the improbable contingency Of the death
of President Arthur during his term,
which we all hope may not occur. 1t is
to the attitude before the country of the
monumental fence-straddler from Illinois,
Senator Davis, that we would direct at
tention. We only regret that the Demo-
cratic Senators, when it became apparent
that vice-P President Bayard was to be
dsposed, did not wheel into line and elect
al out and out Republican. The most
pronounced stalwart in the land would
have been preferable to David Davis.

Eureka has the fairest name abroad of
any town on the coast. 1t is nowhere
disputed that it is.the best town between
Salt Lake and Sau Francisco. Among
Nevada towns it is universally conceded
to OCCUPY the leading rank. This is
especially gratifying to y local pride,
and moro especially SO when we reflect
that 1t ia richly deserved. The Eureka
Of to-day, however, furnishes but all
imperfect idea of the Eureka OF three
years hence. Our prospects were never
30 bright as they are to-day. All along
II mineral belt, the most extensive in
the world. evidences OF inexhaustible
wealth and permanent progress and pros.
perity are to be seen on every hand. We
are no longer restricted to the mines of
Ruby Hill. The outlook Of Adams Hill,
Prospect Mouptain and IN to the south
ward as far as the Geddes 4 Bertrand at
Secret Canyon is especially and en-
phatically cheering. New and important
developments are the order Of the day
in alt directions throughout the district.
We have never had any boom. Neither
assessments nor e~xtraneous aid Of any
description have contributed to our ad.
vances. More than any other mining
district OF the Pacific Coast, Eureka has
grown up on it's own intrinsic merits.
1t has now reached that condition whore
outside assistance is not essential to its
further and continued growth. Our
mines have quietly moved along to a
point where they a take care Of them.
selves. We have hundreds of good mines
that are just about entering the
alive stage. The time is near at hand
when capitalists will be more anxious to
purchase than our miners will be to sell.
