TRIUMPH OF THE TENNESSEE POSTMISTRESS.-
The nomination OF Judge G. W. Foore to be
postmaster at Jackson, Tenn, has been with
drawn. and Mrs. Voolfolk the present incum-
bent, has been reappOinted. Politicians repre-
sented that Mrs. voolfolk did not contribute
to the republican campaign fund last year; that
she had two democrats employed, and that she
was an appointee OF Congressma Atkins. By
this representation they got Foote nominated.
St natOr Jackson showed the President the re-
ce1pt for Mrs. Woolfolk's campaign contrioI-
ton, convinced him that the two democrats
We're sons OF the lady. and that Atkins had
nothing to do with her appointment TIE
President at once Withdrew Foote and reap
pointed the lady, who Will be confirmed.

A GOOD OLD VERMONT CUSTOM.

Clara Belle has been up in Vermont,
where the people are all pious, and
while there she attended a rural we'd
ding. After describing the scenes and
incidents connected with the cereino-
nies. she says OF the subsequent pro-
ceedings "A Eountiful, If not preten-
tious, supper followed, aud then came
the eames-old fashioned kissing games,
copenhagen, post.otiice and torteits.
The city girls held oil while, hut see
ing that their coyness was not well re-
eeived, made martyrs OF themselves,
and generally liked 1t. l think l OBJ
served a fact that is not generally
known in kissing, that for the most
electrical results, Que kIsser should be a
blonde and the other brunette, repre-
sentng the opposite poles OF battery.
Certainly, the kisses between persons oi
the same complexion looked and sound
ed mechanically and perfunctery, while
those by coDtrasted couples we're fiery,
spirited and harmonIously explosive.
However, after several hours Of diver
sions largely osculatory, there went to
bed most thoroughly kissed bride
Her scarlet lips looked swollen with the
ordeal OF long and earnest kisses, for
she had been smacked over and over by
every man and woman in the party.
She had borne the treatment with gooi
hunor. and no married life was ever be-
gun with a nerrier frolIc. But the
erowning exploit was an observance OF
the old Vermont custom OF tucklng up
the happy couple III bed. Hall an hour
after they had retired we burglarized
their bed chamber, and tnrned the light
OF half dozen lamps on them. We
saw sight that proved womans su-
perior fortitude The bridegroom
turned red and white by turns, aud
was completely habbergasted ; but the
bride, though her face lay rosy enough
on the snowy pillow, was quite self
possessed She had dressed herself IN a
dainty new nght.dress, with shlrrlngs
over the shoulders and on the bishop
sleeves, and may have derived her
courage from previous view OF herself
in the glass Very lovely she was, and
very prettily careful to keep herself
covered just enough hut not so much
as TO hide the yoke OF that charming
night gown. The ceremony consisted
Of tucking in the bedclothes all round,
and so closely and violently that the
new man and wife were well shaken to-
gether. Then We left them.

The placer age of Montana is passing away
the quartz is about commencing in earn
est, and within the coming five years the
yield Of the precious metal in Montana.
says the Salt Lake Tribune, will attract
the attention of the mining and CONNER
cial world to its in a way which
will make a TRANSPORTATION of that coun-
try. The significance of Butte as . min
ing district il already acknowledged,
though what has already been performed
aud discovered there is but as q wave
compared to all the pillows of the sea. At
Marysville, some % miles beyond Helena.
Is the grandest surface showing OF ore In
the known world in the Drum Lumond
mine, owned by Thomas Cruise. All around
the Drum Lnmond are magnificent minss,
like the BeImond Il Gloster, and tho
region has not been half ~prnspected.
Back Of Helena 10 miles is Red Mountain,
where for miles silver-bearing lodges are
thicker than blaekberries. In another
direction, a few miles away from Helena,
are the celebrated Alta. Montana and
Gregory mines. At Sheridan is o magnif-
cent gold property; at Bowlder there are
several exceedingly rich gold mines; be-
vond Bannock are fine mines, and in many
other districts are well-established prop
critics, while in every direction new dis
covsries are being made daily.

Isn't it about time for our businessmen
to take active and united measures to sup
press the circulation Of mutilated coins ?
Everywhere on the Coast bankers and mer-
chants refuse to take them except at great
discount. This debased money is appar-
emily shipped to this point by wholesale.
aud every day the stock is increasing.
Unless something is done it will soon COM
prise half OF the circulating medium on
the Range. Let there be some under
standing between our business men with q
view OF driving this illegal currency from
the market. Counterfeit halves and dol
lars are also becoming very numerous, and
our people take them as good-naturedly as
did the Mormons the clothing certificates
for g~reenbacks during the war. A severe
penalty is attached for debasing the one
and passing the other, but this don't APP
pear to have any terrors for the rascals
who make a living by it. Let the commu-
nifty put its heavy foot down or both, and
we will soon get rid Of them.

MoIineiIi vs.. Ryiand.

When Dick Ryland took the contract to
build the Courthouse he employed Lam
bert Molinelli to keep certain accounts Of
extra work, etc. Dick claims to have set
tied with him in full a long time since.
Lambert says there was an unpaid balance
OF $3.50. The parties disagreeing, q suit
was brought in Judge Harmon's Court to
determine the matter. A jury was called
to weigh the facts. Judge Cole and
General Kittrell appeard for Moli-
nelli, and George W.. Baker for Ryland.
One item OF testimony is TO the effect
that Ryland gave Molinelli $50 on or about
election day. Lambert construed this sum
as election money, aud Ryland thinks it
was a payment out of his own private
funds. General Kittrell enlarged on this
circumstance in an attempt to show that
Uncle Jimmy Fair had a sack in the last
cam paign. Perish the thought Every
body knows that Uncle Jimmy is no such
man as that. The mighty uprising
Of the great American people in
the last election in Nevada must not be
attributed TO basely sordid motives OF this
kind. General Kittrells intimation that
money was used has shocked the whole
community and created q profound sen
sation' in political circles. The jury
brought in a verdict for but $40 in favor
Of Molinelli, thus sitting down with en-
phasis on the vile i~nsinuation Of the ex-
Attorney General.

i'm the Record OfLast Saturday.


Word comes up from Silver Reef that
Jimmy Clark and one Cleary have been
amusing themselves riding through the
Mormon settlement of Leeds shooting
into houses as they dashed through the
town on their horses. Clark is a bad Egg,
and his brother was killed in Silver Reef
about a year and half ago, and the Refers
have been expecting to hear Of Jimmy's
death at n moment, for he is always
seeking a quarrel. The Clark family,
while residing in Phoebe, was looked upon
as a bad breed, father and sons packing
weapons all the while.
Spring Valley was visited by q shower Of
frogs the other day, n the amphibious
animals OF the genus ''Rana" poured down
in torrents for half an hour. After the
shower the ground was covered with frogs,
and the ranchers out there have been in
dulging in fresh meat ever since.
o. X, Wescoatt has been busy the past
week in making surveys Of the Tempest,
Iron and other mines here, and also in re-
surveying the Bristol townsite and laying
off a millsite south Of town, as it is the
intention of Gilmer q Co. to put up q
furnace at no distant date.
Members of the Miners Union OF Silver
Reef who we're arrested and tried by the
Court at Beaver, and are now out on
bonds, working in the vicinity Of Phoebe.
will bear in mind that they are expected
to be in Beaver before the 7th day OF Sep

The old-time game Of draw" has been
having q rather heavy run the past week,
a good many of the boys butting their
heads against the charmer and getting 1t
in the back Of the neck.
The Woods & Mccullough mine. out
near what is known as Bailey Station.
will probably change owners at IN early
day. Messrs. Woods q Mccullough are
now in Salt Lake City attending to the
business.
Scrip OF Lincoln County now commands
a very fair price. Paper that could not be

Hostile Apaches-Efc.
Especial to the SENTINEL

San FRAYcIsco, Aug. 23.-The Stock
Exchange to-day publishes an interview
with Mark L. Mcdonald with regard TO a
road between Benicia and Santa Rosa. He
says there is no doubt Jay Gould is NOV
ing to get a complete system across the
continent. His Wabash road carries him
from Detroit and Toledo, or Lake Erie, to
Council Bluffs on the Missouri; then be
has the Union Pacific to Ogden, or the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe to Denver and
beyond. He is undoubtedly the moving
spirit Of the Mormon Church, which are
connecting Salt Lake with every corner Of
Utah. To connect the Eastern system
with that Of Utah will be the work OF a
year in case any act of the Union Pacific
makes 1t necessary. He says Gould is not
in the Union Pacific o to any extent.
Vanderbilt has the largest interest, and is
pushing the road to Oregon. The Wabash
and Texas systems are taking Gould's at
teDtion. When Le gets to Utah he will
either move on to California or join some
OF the other lines. Mr.. Mcdonald posi-
lively asserts that the California Central il
a separate affair, and has not yet enlisted
Gouid's cooperation. He says Gould has
not made any alliance as yet west of Utah.
The Union Pacific has bought the Nevada
Central, and it will doubtless be extended,
but with what purpose they have not told.
There is sure to be one or two more roads
through soon.

o~utraging her person. The City Marshal
before daylight arrested the culprit, who
was taken to the home of the parents and
identified by the child. All this occurred
before the public became aware of the
