AN ENGLISH LADY MURDERED IN
New ZEALAND.-New Zealand news
papers to hand by the last mail con-
tain details Of the murder of Miss
Mary Beatrice Dobie, daughter of
the late Major II. N. Dobie, of the
Madras Army, by a Maori at Taran-
aki, New Zealand, on the 25th of
November. Miss Dobie, who was
&c years of age, formerly resided at
Irthington, Cumberland, with her
mother and sisters. At the time of
the murder she was staying with
her brother-in-law, Major Goring,
along with her mother. On the after
loon ofthe 25th of November, Miss
Dobie had gone out for a walk to-
wards TIE Ngamu, and as she did not
return a search party was organiz-
ed and bonfires were lighted along
the coast line. The body was found
40 yards off the main road. The
throat was cut from ear to ear, and
life was extinct Near the body was
a bunch of wild flowers, evidently
gathered by the deceased. The
ground showed traces of a desperate
struggle, and the flax bushes were
despatched with blood. The spot
is a very lonely one, about 100 yards
from an uninhabited house at TIE
Ngamu. An inquest was held, at
which evidence was given duplicating
a Maori named Tuhi, who subsequent
ly confessed to the crime. Miss Do
bic, who was well known in Auck-
land, had gone to the place where
she lost her life for the purpose of
~sketching Ngamu Bay. She was an
ardent admirer of New,,Zealand scene
~, and many Of her sketches have
appeared in the Graphic.-ISmes.

The worthy admiral here got very abu.
sIve, and to calm him / showed him a
Winchester repeating rife, but he would
not look at it, although I assured him that
1t bred Ii rounds, and that each Russian
carried six.
MY lntormant's opinions are not valuable
on their intrinsic merits, but they are not
without importance as showing the views
with regard to probable hostilities held by
the leading military officers 10 China.
These officers are sometimes. as in this case,
bluff, manly fellows, whose conversation
has an honest sign of healthy patriotism.
but they are invariably ignorant and
unteachable in time of peace. And if
shere can be degrees in ignorance so dense
as to be absolutely inconceivable in men
who have earst to hear, the most conservative
and stupid are the same Human men whose
readiness to die and ability to serve
their country are so much Wanted by my
friend the Admiral. Among them, OF
course, there are notable exceptions, such
as Kwo Sung-sao, the late Ambassador to
England, and the different members of the
great governing family of Tseng, but, as a
rule, Human men, gentle and simple, are
ignorant to a degree and invariably rude to
strangers and foreigners. No foreigner has
Shown himself inside the walls OF Chang
Shafoo, the capital of Human, since the
Treaty of Tietsin was ratified 20 years ago
without having his head broken, and even
at this moment Englishmen only travel in
the province at the risk of their lives. And
Just as the common people are ignorant and
boisterous 10 their acts, 80 Human officials
are rude and bo;sterous in their opinions,
and if any section of them should ever be-
come the guiding spirits of this nation,
as appears not at all improbable, and be
allowed to override the councils of men
like Prince Kung and LII Hung Chang,
they are certain to adopt a spirited for
eign policy that can only end in disaster.
The moral of the whole of this letter is
one that | have again and again had occa-
sion to draw-viz., that China's strength as
at present. developed for the purpose of
war, is much over estimated. Even Colo
mel Gordon himself, who returned to China
expecting to find q wonderful change in
the country from which he had been absent
20 years. and who had during that time
read of Chinese arsenals, fleets, t%orpedoes,
and foreign drilled troops, had a rude
waking up, and had TO confess that the
new China,he had heard of was after all
the old China.he knew, with a little veneer.

Aliens Benefit Tonight.

The Dramatic Club will make their
second appearance az the Opera House
this evening, at the benefit Of Charles
Allen, in the comedy entitled " Our Boys"
one Of H. J. Byron's most popular plays,
which has been produced throughout this
country and England with unbounded sue
cess, keeping the boards at a London
Theater for nearly a year and in New York
a little less than six months. The piece
abounds in droll humor. II does not
''star" in any particular character, but
divides the dialogue in a generous manner
throughout the cast, giving each individual
ample scope to do her or himself full
justice. The action is lively, and may en-
barrass our n~ew-beginners somewhat for
want of stage experience. but in the main
the play will be handsomely rendered, as
the rehearsals have shown careful study
and a thorough familiarity with the vari-
GUS parts. "Our Boys " will be a~ppropri-
ately mounted, and the accessories will be
as complete as they have been on the me-
tropolitan stage. The scenery, painted by
Mr.. Laycock expressly for the piece, is in
perfect harmony with his other artistic
work, and will OF itself afford q pleasing
sight. Although the ladies are not given
great latitude in dress, they will have an
opportunity to display their taste and skill
in makeup. All things considered, the
theater should be filled tonight In every
part, not alone on account OF the merits Of
the comedy, but also on account Of the
noble personal attributes OF the benefi-
clare, who has undertaken the generous
task OF instruoting our amateurs.

Range. They are confirmed by response
bic men, gentlemen from the South whose
word is to be relied upon, having yester-
day informed a reporter that there is the
greatest excitement over the new discov-
cries, and that it is the richest mineral
country known. Since Victories death
the whole country has been resorted to by
prospectors and thousands of locations are
being constantly made. The mountains
are full of mineral, and every man who
visits them becomes at once an enthusiast.
1t is confidently predicted that in the
spring there will be a rush for the noun
tains and one OF the greatest excitements
known"

A Favorable Report.

The London Mining Journal contains
Mr.. Richards weekly report ON the Rich
mond. He reports that the 900 north
west, on assure, has been drifted fourteen
feet; the ground is more favorable for ore
than it has been for some time. The 900
winze has been sunk ten feet, now down a
total depth Of seventy-two feet. The
ground in the bottom is much more favor
able for ore than 1t lhas been. The cham
bers are all looking well, and turning out
the usual quantity Of ore. The ore body
in the 700 has very much improved since
my last. A rise has been put up thirty
feet in good ore. with the top of the rise
all in good ore.

ON THE DowNwARD PATH.



Years ago, too many to count with feel
ings Of satisfaction, the local scribe of the
SENTINEL was a gawky country boy, whose
home was not many miles from Philadel-
phia. On an adjoining farm lived a
family composed of father, mother, and
a daughter just budding into ~girlhood.
No happier home existed amidst those val
leys, noted for loveliness Of scenery and
inhabitants whose uprightness is a house
hold word in the land. An only child, the
girl was naturally the pride Of her parents
hearts, while her lovely person and sweet
disposition endeared her to all. Pretty
Mabel, as she was called then, gradually
faded from the writer's memory after he
left the home of his childhood. and recol-
lection Of her was only recalled a few
weeks since, when, while walking through
the cemetery connected with the church
near which she lived, the names Of her
parents was noticed on the stones that
marked the last resting place of the dead.
Inquiry developed the fact that the girl
had been ruined by a Philadelphia physi-
clan, and had disappeared none knew where
or whittier. Her parents gray hairs had gone

stead had passed into the hands Of stran-

most as soon as told. Last night while
making a tour of the town in company
with some friends, the SENTINEL's local
dropped into one of the several places
where mirth and music are supposed to
reign supreme. A half-drunken spectator
was attempting to sing an old-time song,
and a woman near was sobbing bitterly.
81 cannot help it" she said apologetically,

question served to settle her identity. 1t
was pretty Mabel-pretty Mabel no longer,
q woman hardened in sin and vice, but
lost to the %hallowjng influences Of
days. The man who ruined her is to-
day a prominent physician in the Quaker
City, with a family proud Of his fame. He is
by gentlemen, admired by ladies
his victim is to-day the lowest of the low,
scorned by women, despised by men, and
yet they say there is a God of Justice.

Twenty-nine mines on the Comstock are
at present divided into 4,O21, 600 shares.
In 1870 the market value OF all the shares
in the twenty-nine mines was only a little
over 81, 900, 900. In January, 1875, they
they showed a market value OF less than
$40, 800, 900, They have since been rated
still lower. During the past two years,
with here and there an exception, values
have steadily tended downward. The de-
probation in the market value of 4,021 600
shares since September, 1878, is estimated
at 500, 900, 600.

The storm In California has delayed
trains the past few days and the train OF
the E. d P. road did not arrive until a late
hour, so that no mail was received last

therefore, make allowance for my short

An Old story.

Miss Nellie Boyd will be remembered as
the "star" of a provincial troupe that
visited Eureka some months ago, and
succeeded in turning the heads of several
local Washers. The fair Nellie turns her
attention to the newspaper fraternity occa-
sionally, as will be seen by the following
from the Arizona Star. 1t is evident that
cocktails have an exhilarating effect in that
locality: I'VE really had a very pleasant
chat. She talked with the familiarity OF
an old friend, and made us feel so perfectly
at ease that we did not hesitate to branch
off ON subjects such as old acquaintance
would talk about. The interviewer and
artist left and old friends took their place.

The SENTINEL suggested to the teachers
some months ago the propriety Of having
q weekly roll OF honor containing the
names Of meritorious scholars printed.
The idea was adopted aud the rolls are now
q recognized institution. The scholars, Of
course, are ambitious TO have their names
appear, and thus they prove an incentive
and eonduee no little to regular attend
ance and discipline.

Railroad

II seems to be a settled fact that the Eu.
reka 4 Palisade railroad Is to be extended
south, and an agent Of the road Is re-
ported as being East procuring the neces-
sary stock and material. 1t is to be built
regardless Of the proposed Colorado road,
q fact that does not argue well for the
statement advanced by some that the Z. d
P. was managing the affairs Of the proposed
road.

True to promise a representative Of the

nounced to be held, but no members were

obtained. The next meeting will be held

Speaking OF the Ruby-Dunderberg the
last issue OF the London Mining
Journal says, 1.-THE progress indicated
in the managers weekly report and this
weeks telegram is most satisfactory, and a
steady improvement is manifested The
news that there are 1900 toni OF ore
ready for smelling effectually dissipates
any idea of the furnace shutting down for
want of ore. The new hosting machinery
was being rapidly erected over the Bull
whacker shaft"

A GOOD SHOWING.
Eureka Mines as Reported from
London.


Late foreign papers contain the follow
ing reports On Eureka mines
RUBY-DUNDERBERG.
The main shaft has been timbered 80
feet and sunk 8 feet total, 80 feet below
the 600 level. The 600 level has been adj
vanced 20 feet; total, 260 feet from the
shaft. A small seam Of good ore about
six inches wide was cut through during the
week.-Mrs. will be prosecuted further as
soon as practicable. A rise has been COM
menced on a small seam of ore at a point
40 feet north Of the north winze on the 500
level the ore is improving as it goes up,
and is now about two feet wide, of good
quality. The Wine at the end of the 500
level, south, still continues in good ore.
This promises to be the most extensive
ore body yet discovered, but it will not be
available until the 600 level is advanced to
and connected with the winze. Progress
this week, 10 feet total below the 500
level, 10 feet. We have not extracted any
ore from the stope above the 500 level,
south, this week, but a rise has been ex-
tended up in the ore 90 feet above tie s.efe.
A drift has been commenced from the west
crosscut on the 400 level to connect with
the rise from the stope above the 500 level
stulh. 1bC oOO uOt ufll has duNdIlCtu
II feet total from old works, SO feet-no
change. The 800 west crosscut has ad-
vanced Is feet total 800 feet from the
north drift from old incline. Have ship
ped only IS tons of ore this week, owing
to the bad state Of the roads. Have Al
men at work, and three tributers.
BULLwHAcKER.
After consulting with Mr.. Dowlen in re-
gard to the quality Of ore, and after TAX
ing several samples, we have considered it
advisable to commence work Immediately.
A small hosting engine has been our
chased from the Eureka Consolidated Com
pany, which will enable us to work to bet
ter advantage than heretofore. Iexpect to
have it in good working order in a week or
ten days, weather permitting.
A later telegram says The weeks run
Of the furnace was S., 800 from 1888 tons Of
ore, producing SO tons Of bullion. The
shipments for the week were 1919 tons. The
quantity Of ore at the furnace, dump, and
in the mine ready for extraction is 1000
tons.
THE RICHMOND.
Mr.. Richard closes his last report as fol-
lows Taking the mine on the whole,
there is a decided improvement; the ore
reserves have rather increased than d.
minished.
