The Mormon Percheron Horse.

The Mormon Percheron Horse.
The great demand for heavy draft orsea
has stimulated the importation of this
breed, and extensive studs are established
for breeding. There are three breeds OF
heavy horses which have been imported TO,
this purpose, viz. 4: Tho English draf I
horse, the Clydesdale from Scotland and
the Norman Percheron. The last two are the
most numerous, and the contest for suprem.
acy between these two breeds has been
warm and still increases. The name Nor

is claimed that this class of horses compose
the breeding stock Of oil the north ana west
parts of France, varying in size but all
heavy horses, the lighter being used in
their native country for stage, omnibus or
other work requiring action and so ne
speed as we'll as strength and endurance.
This class of horses has been the domin-
ant breed of the country for nearly LOCO
years. and are the defendants of the wal
horses of the Franks, greatly improved
after the Norman conquest and later, re-
celylng. it is claimed by some, cross of
Arabian Llood.
These horses range in weight from / 400
to 1000 pounds, and have great action for
their size. They are rather taller and more
rangy than the other draft breeds. They
seem to impress their character on the COM
mon stock of this country, as is attested
from the sale quite frequently by unscru-
pulous dealers of half or three quarter bred
Nornans. as pure h-et..
The prevailing color is gray with very
few black, bay and chestnut. The first i'm

SPRING
4 Bit Of Philosophy on Female
Attire,

AttfrG.
A sweet consolation is being enjoyed now
by the fair sex, that Lenten season is
over. They are now released from the
obligation to "mortify the flesh" in the
matter Of attire. The modistes, milliners
and other caterers to feminine taste for
adornment, are displaying their Spring
goods and fashions in full bloom, and
deplorable indeed must be the disposition
of the lady who can make q tour of the
shops without learning anew that life is
we'll worth living. The occasion is not,
however, one Of unmixed 10y. Not many
purses can respond to all demands made
by delighted eyes, and even the owners of
the few that can are to be profoundly
pitied, for the most Industrious dressing,
by a who can give her entire time
to 1t, cannot find place for all the pretty
things that are offered. The men who pay
the bills may not be in a proper frame OF
mind to appreciate the difference IN this
respect between now and 20 years ago, but
to other men-to the bachelors who can
enjoy the spectacle of a parlor full of we'll
dressed women without suffering any OF the
responsibilities-the improvement in femi-
nine decoration is as wonderful as it is
delightful. 1t is true. too, although
pateYfamilias cannot be made to believe
it, that a discreet woman can now dress
handsomely at a far less cost than she
could have done in the days when there
was but little variety in materials, and
when the range of accessories was so linn
tied that a very small shop could include
all. Instead of grooming over the Spring
openings, the sensible family man will in
vite his wife and daughters to visit them
all and improve their taste by seeing all
that can be seen, so that when the inevita-
BILE purchases are made they will bring
with them ct least the consolation that
the new attire will be worth all that it costs.

STOPPED HIS PAPER.
How Horace Greeley was Grieved
to Have the Tribune STOPPED.

to Have the Tribune stopped.
Nowadays, when a subscriber gets so
mad because an editor differs with him on
some trivial question that he discontinues
his subscription and "stops his paper"
we remind him Of a good anecdote of the
late Horace Greeley, the w%ell-known editor
of the New York Tribune. Passing down
Newspaper Row, in New York City, one
morning, he met one of his readers, who
exclaimed
"Mr. Greeley, after the article you pub
lished this morning, l intend to stop my
paper"
"Oh. no." said Mr.. Greeley, 'don't do
that"
Eyes, sir, my mind is made up. 1 shall
stop the paper"
But the angry subscriber was not to be
appeased and they separated. Late in the
afternoon the two met again, when Mr..
Greeley remarked:
"Mr. Thompson, l am very glad you did
not carry out your threat this morning"
"What do you mean 2"
"Why, you said you were going to stop
my paper" ,
had my paper stopped"
"You are surely mistaken; I have just
come from there and the press was rum
ming and business was booming"
"Sir," said Thompson, pompously, 81
meant I intended to stop my subscription
to your paper"
ooh, thunder !" rejoined Greeley, 81
thought you were going to stop the run
ming Of my paper, and knock me out Of a
living. My friend, let me tell you some-
thing. One man is just one drop Of water
in the ocean. You didn't set the machinery
of this world in motion, and when you are
underneath the ground things upon the
surface will wag on the same as ever"

to Think About.
The following a%necdote concerning Bob
Ingersoll, from the Franklin (Ind.) Jeffer-
sonian Of Feb. 2, we find floating around.
The incident referred to is said to have &C.
Cured a few days prior to its relation.
A denial from the great infdel will now
be in order: Bob took it into his head to
pay a visit to Henry Slade, the celebrated
slate-writing medium. Ingersoll purchased
a double slate, and tying it together pro-
ceeded to Mr.. SHADES residence, who, be-
ing acquainted with him, asked him if he
wished to get a communication. THAT
is what I came for" said Bob, placing the
slate on the table and covering it with his
arms to prevent Mr.. s. from touching it.
"Mr. Ingersoll," said Slade, 'you do not
believe in a future state-how can you
have a message sent from that world 7"
''Never mind" said Bob, II want to test
your skill in this matter, and if you are
successful I may perhaps change my opin.
ion." They sat down, n at each end OF
a long dining-table. Presently Mr.. Inger-
soil placed his ear to the slate and said he
heard some scratching going on, and in a
few moments Slade told him to open the
slate. He did so, and to his establishment
found the inside leaves of the slate covered
with writing. ''Good heavens y he ex-
claimed, "this is my brothers writing, and
signed by him. Where did it come from
who wrote it?' ''That," said Mr.. s.,

to you for this beautiful test; there is
much room for thought here" And, taking
up the slate, he wished him good morning.

DR.. Holmes lately returned to Virginia
CITY from a two weeks visit to Coloma,
CAL, his old.time mining camp, and gave
the Enterprise data for the following:
Coloma is the spot where gold was first
discovered In California, but its glory as
a place of mines has long since departed.
It Is now a place Of orchards and vine
Yards. Although surrounded by snowy
mountains, snow seldom falls in Coloma.
There grow the fig and the almond tree,
and there flowers bloom every month in
the year. The people live in the vine
empowered cottages, till their gardens,
train their vines, prune their trees, and
are happy, giving no thought to under
ground wealth that lies deeper than a hill
Of potatoes. The only miners now seen
about Coloma are Chinese. Under the
orchards and gardens is still a considerable
amount Of ground that the pick has never
disturbed. The Chinese occasionally get
upon leads of gravel that run into these,
and the high prices they are willing to pay
for q small strip Of garden or orchard
shows that they lind the ground product
i've. One man has year after year dis
posed Of sides Of his orchard. and only the
other day sold for $500 the ground on
which stood four apple trees.

Thanks,

The Austin Band, having completed
their return visit to their friends Of the
Union Guard Band, left this morning for
home. They are a party of gentlemen and
first-rate musicians. In their company
are several ladies, also, of fine musical
talent and culture. At their performance
IN Eureka they had no such an audience
as their merits entitled them to, but their
greeting on the Hill was an overwhelming
success-an ovation. This is gratifying,
for the Lander Band treated Il boys
royalty in Austin. Our guests request the
SENTINEL to return their heartfelt thanks
to the Union Guard Band, and to the peo-
Pile of Ruby Hill generally, for the kind
and hospitable reception rendered them.
Mr.. Samuel King, manager for the Austin
Band, says that If his party had been so
many officers from the Capital, at Wash
ington, they could not have been treated
better. This we can appreciate. Tor
neighbors on the Hill are whole'souled
folks, and whatever they undertake they
do heartily and well. A safe trip home
and good luck to our Austin friends.

OLD BRAD. WINSLOW.
He is Found Nude and Dead in Line
now
Elko Independent.


Brad. Winslow, an old Comstock miner,
who for several years past has been fol-
lowing his calling at Tuscarora, had lately
shown evidences of alteration OF mind,
and on the 18th of April left that camp,
coming toward this place on foot. Be-
tween the above date and thel 18th he was
seen several times on the road between
Tuscarcra and what is known as Eagle
Rock, seventeen miles out on the Elko
stage road. When the fact of his apparent
aimless wanderings became known in Tus-
carora, M. ]. Hatch started in the direc-
ton designated, to search for him, with
the view of bringing him back to camp.
After a f~ruitless search during the 10Th
and 10th, Hatch was joined by Grimes and
Shaffer of Tuscarora, and on the following
day the object of their search was found
about three-quarters of a mile northeast OF
Eagle Rock, dead; the body was stripped
of clothing; the jugular vein on the left
side of the neck severed, also the veins OF
Che wrists. No clothing or weapons OF
any kind were found with or near the
body, and the party were in doubt as to
how the wounds were inflicted. The ind
ing of the clothes may, however, solve the
mystery. The remains we're conveyed to
Tuscarora at once and given a decent bur-
ial. Winslow is said to have been an hon
est and industrious man, but had been
drinking to excess Of late.
