Red Tape.

In every department Of governmental
service there are still to be encountered
some disagreeable and awkward relics OF
ancient and useless forms and rules.
Something Of this red tape may be neces-
sary as a check on the ingenious devices
that are now and then concocted to make
inroads upon Uncle Sans Treasury; but
tho service can undoubtedly be simplifed
in many respects with safety, 80 as to les.
sen labor and promote the convenience Of
the public. For instance, II you want to
send $3.50 through the mail you must put
that sum In three orders Of $50 each.
This entails, In a busy office. q great deal
OF waste labor on the postmaster; and II
involves 40 much delay that II puts people
all out Of patience II their time 10 valuable.
1t looks a good deal like a farce, with the
funny business left out OF the play. And
the postofice order affair is but a small
piece OF tho yet cherished red tape, which.
at this practical age OF the country, Is
neither useful nor ornamental.

THE LATEST SENSATION.


DEAR SENTINEL: How good it was in
Shakespeare to make Hamlet say: "There
are things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
that are not known in our philosophy" 1t
is so comforting to fall back on this as
suranee, you know, when we can not ex-
plain or understand yhat we see and feel.
II skeptics question the truth Of what you
have experienced by means of the Eve
senses you can at least say: 'It 10 posi-
BILE, for Shakespeare has said So"
LIFTING"
I attended night before last q social re-
union given In honor Of a young lady, the
daughter OF o prominent lawyer, on
the occasion Of her return home
as q graduate from Mills Seminary.
I witnessed their somewhat singular, not
to say strange, performances, which seem
to be the popular amusement in vogue
lately among the young people, though the
elders relish the sport themselves. The
diversion Is mesmerism and lifting"
The lifting operation I cannot comprehend.
1t seems to be contrary to every law Of
nature and revelations OF science. 1t Is
this: A person lies down upon two chairs,
the head oil one and the feet on the other.

saw thus stretched out. She weighs 100
pounds. Eight persons, myself one of the
number. stood beside her; four on each
side. While one Of our number counted
three we all drew a long breath together,
mamma breathing long, too, with US, three
times. While the breathing went
on we held u five fingers
placed in the sides Of her body, but taking
them off at the end Of each breath. At the
third breathing, without any apparent
help from US, her body began to rise and
rose into the air as high IS the chandelier,
over six feet. The moment she took an
other breath, however, down she came
easily back to her place on the chairs. We
tried the same experiment repeatedly with
different persons aud We were successful
every time. Now, this ia just as / tell
you. I leave it to you to account for the
phenomenon. The freaks OF mesmerism
are old, though very entertaining. As l
have told you about the lifting" marvel

anything less wonderful. Yours,

A True story, Told for m Ben.
of Eastern Capital.

A True story, Told for the Ben.
n of Eastern Capital.
The following article, from the Reno
Journal, is so timely and SO just in its ex-
position of the mine management as it ap-
pears in Nevada, that IL ought TO be read
at home as well as abroad:
A mine is sold in some eastern city,
money raised to prosecute developments
and erect suitable machinery. OF course
the first thing is the selection Of a super
~intendent. In place Of sending some care
full business man who is interested 10 the
property ont to the mine, and have him
employ q miner who has learned the trade
by working at it, il is the custom to pick
up some pretty smart chap who happens
to be out Of employment, pay him two or
three times what o capable man could be
got for ON the ground, furnish him with
plenty OF money and send him out. He
arrives at the mine, and the first thing
he thinks OF Is to provide for his
personal comfort. He builds q
handsome residence, furnishes 1t in style,
pu releases a nice buggy and fine pair Of
horses, hires q foreman and bookkeeper
and now he is ready for business. All
this takes money and in most mining dis
tricts q good deal Of 1t. There may not be
ore enough in sight to keep a fve-stamp
mill running, but this k~id-gloyed superin-
tendent does nothing by halves-no little
prospecting trip for him. So he goes to
work and puts up anywhere from twenty
to forty stamps. We know OF n instance
in which a very large mill has been built
OF an enormous expense, and we have
been repeatedly told by miners from
the district that when the job was com-
menced not q pound of ore had ever
been seen in the. mine-in fact all the
mine there was consisted Of a hole about
fifteen feet deep full Of water. OF course
the mill is idle and likely to remain so.
There are mining operations going on in
several places IN this State under the di-
rection Of fancy superintendent that are
standing jokes among the miners Of the
sections where they are being done. The
effect of this needless waste Of money is
to condemn mining as a legitimate bust
ness at the centers Of capital. That there
have been a large number Of worthless
mines sold in the East; that millions of
dollars nave been. uselessly expended, is
not the fault Of the mines; but for the
want Of decent care in the purchase and
decent management afterwards.

Our Pleasant visitors.

EDITOR SENTINEL: The concert given
by the Union Guard Band in this place on
the 9th inst. deserves much more than a
passing notice. for 1t was a grand success
in every way. The instrumental music
and singing was perfection itself.
the only drawback being the smallness OF
the room for such q volume Of music.
The hall was densely crowded with the
citizens Of this and ne~ighboring places.
After the concert was over the room was
cleared for dancing. which was kept up
until the small hours Of morning. The
best Of order was maintained throughout.
The bands visit TO Palisade will long be
remembered as one Of the most agreeable
events in the history Of this place, and the
hope Is expressed by many that 1t may be
repeated. The very best wishes OF every
one go with them on their trip. Hun.

New Marriage Ceremony.

Bill Nye of the Laramie Boomerang has
invented a new marriage ceremony, the
concluding portion of which reads a. fol-
lows: Then as this Court has jined to-
gether let no man put asunder; bu. suffer
little children to come unto them, 30 help
you God"
This prayer for the multiplication Of the
race is the proper thing. II is much more
what II ought to be. however, than what
II is. Unless the prevailing sentiment In
modern marriages is badly Misunderstood,
the contracting parties would much pre-.
fer to have the invocation for divine aid enc
thus; "But suffer little children to CONF
unto US not, for Christ's sake"

A Man has his Wife Arrested ON
the Charge OF Adultery.

the Charge of Adultery.
About three weeks ago, says the Denver
Republican, a man named Kendall came
from st. Louis to this city, having about
81, 800 in cash with bin. He sought for a
suitable opportunity to invest in the sa-
loon business. and in his search Termed
the acquaintance of Harris, who subse-
quently, as has been seen, swore he did
not know him. Harris keeps a saloon on
Larimer street, near the bridge. On
Tuesday evening Kendall was in a restau-
rant on Blake street partaking Of his sup
per. Mrs. Harris came in and took q seat
near him, and soon managed to get into
conversation with him. She informed him
that she would not live with her husband
on account Of his cruelty: that she had
left him and had no place to stop that
night. Kendall said that his room was at
her disposal, and she accepted the offer.
About midnight she sent Kendall out into
the street upon some errand. When he
went out he was confronted by Harris, the
husband, and Detective Frank Pine. After
some delay Harris pretended to be ex-
ceedingly wrathy, and he proceeded to the
residence Of Judge Sopris, and had
q warrant issued for the arrest
Of Kendall and Mrs. Harris on the charge
of adultery. 1t was Their 2 O'Clock In the
morning. Constable Levy was also sroused
from his slumbers, and he made tho arrest.
The two prisoners were placed in the
County jail.
Kendall claims that he ia guiltless OF any
criminal act with Mrs. Harris, and that
the whole affair was q blackmailing scheme
from the inception to the dismissal, and
that he preferred to lose some money rather
than have such an unenviable notoriety
given him as would result from a criminal
trial Of this character. He has now only
q portion Of his money left, and whether
he has a more exalted opinion Of Denver
saloon-keeping and some Of their money
making practices or not. will be known
when he gives his grand opening or re-
turns to the region whence he came.

The approximations expressed in the
SENTINEL some two weeks ago seem to be
realized. An account is given elsewhere
OF an attack made upon q peaceful and
harmless citizen, who was quietly going
homo TO his family early in the evening.
That he escaped being robbed Of the few
silver pieces he had in his pocket 10 due to
an accident. Nor is it doing violence to
probability to presume that he might have
been killed in the struggle that he made to
retain the sum OF his days sales, So 10.
As has been said before in this paper.
there is no doubt that we have in Eureka
a number Of bad and desperate characters,
who have hitherto foraged merely as petty
thieves with the calculation OF bigger
game for their future raids. The
occurrences OF the last As hours
make this evident. The little thieves
have beer mostly locked MP as Migrants.
Thu holder and more determined rogues
have left the thoroughfares where they are
suspected and where they encounter num-
bers Of men together. They have with
drawn to the back streets, where any soli-
tary pedestrian Is liable to be knocked over
and robbed and possibly killed. Shall the
whole community be put in terror by a
handful OF abandoned and worthless
wretches2 Has it come TO such q pass that
O will not dare to GROSS the street
alone after nightfall; that children must
tremble for fear OF having the front door
burst open and confronted by the burglar
who has watched for the time when nc
defender Is at home, to rob the household?
The SENTINEL Is not an alarmist. nor is II
In favor Of lynch law; but 1t believes that
the town OF Eureka can better put up with
the lynching Of a cowardly garroter than
tolerate such another outrage as was per-
petrsted last night upon one OF the quiet
est citizens Of our town. One OF the
many worthless scoundrels that infest
Eureka at the present time strung up for a
scare-crow would have a mighty wholesome
effect In purging this neighborhood Of the
presence Of the rost.

HE STATUS OF THE NEeRo.-Sen.
ator Jones, of Nevada, will be read
out of the Republican party if he
gives utterance to many more such
sentiments as these, embodied in a
speech in the Senate:
We would not welcome Africans
mere. Their presence was not a
blessing to US, but an impeachment in
our way. The relations of the white
and colored races of the South were
now no nearer adjustment than they
were years ago. He would prophecy
that the African race would never be
permitted to dominate any State of
tue South. The experiment to that
end had been a dismal failure "a
failure, not because we have not
tried to make it success, but be.
cause laws away above human laws
have placed one race superior TO and
far above the other.
We clothed the African in Union
Glue, and the belief that he was one
day to be free was the candle-light
in his soul. But it is one thing to
aspire to be free, and another thing
to have intelligence and sterling
qualities of character that can main
tain free government.
Mr. Jones here expressed his be-
lief that, if left alone to maintain
the negro would gradu-
ally retrograde and 60 back to the
methods of his ancestors. This. be
added, may be here,a but I believe
it to be true.

The Republicans, in order to
gain two United States Senator's for
their party, are pushing the scheme
to organize Dakota as State and
admit 1t into the Union as such. But
there is strong pecuniary objection
being urged against it in some quar-
ters. Several banks in Maine, and
holders in other States Of bonds issu
ed by one of the counties in Dakota,
represent that "the people of Dakota
have not yet shown themselves capa-
bile of self government unrestrained
by Federal supervision" and they
therefore appeal to Congress not to
admit them into the. sisterhood of
States until they shall have learned
one of the qualifications of self-gov-
ernment-the dnty of paying honest
debts.
