But the mainstays of Chincoteague are oysters
and fish, especially the former. The Chinco-
league oyster is celebrity, though not native
to its waters. The seed oysters are procured
from the Potomac and planted in the shallow
waters of the bay, where they are permitted to
remain two years, when they are taken up and
marketed. A reason given for not allowing
them to remain longer is the fact that after
that time they are attacked by a little animal
which the oystermen term ''screw- driver"
This pest bores through the shell of the oyster
and causes it's death.
This season the oysters from this section are
not in nearly as good condition as usual, They
have lost none of the flavor that causes them to
be held in such high esteem but the unusually
high tides Of the fall and winter, thus far, have
prevented them from attaining the plumpness
and fineness WHICH epicures prize SO highly
The shipments. consequently have not been
very large; in fact, little is being done in the
Oysterng line here at this time
THE TOWN OF CHINCoTEAGUE
contains 1000 Inhabitants nearly all of whom
live by oystering, fishing and cunning They
are plain, hosptable people, ever ready to do a
favor for strangers, and moderate in their
charges for services rendered as boatmen or as
assistants to gunners. The town contains a
number of stores, all OF which appear to do a
thriving business. To those who are fond of
sporting. or who are in search of pleasant re-
creation. whethersby driving or sailing, Chinco-
league offers good many temptations Quite
large number OF persons resort to 1t during
the summer months, ano more will when the
railroad accommodations are improved as they
undoubtedly will be within few years.
EASTERN SHORE OF VIRGINIA.
ChincOteague belongs to what is known as the
Eastern Shore of Virginia. the three counties
comprising which are located at the extreme
southern end of the peninsula. The railroad
has not yet penetrated the counties named, and
hence comparatively little is known Of them,
though they abound in historical Incidents OF
the most interesting character. One of these
days this comparatively unknown territory will
have the locomotive and telegraph, and we shall
then learn to know more of it's true character.
AS far as have been able to learn from those
who have visited 1t, it is almost paradise: at
all events the equal OF any other part of the pen

! fish and game.

How a Dry Goods Clerk Nearly
Gave Himself Away.
Yesterday afternoon a young lady, who
has not resided long enough in Eureka to
be very generally known or to be recog-
nized by the outlines of her figure (Which
is trim and pretty, went into one of our
we'll known dry goods houses heavily
yelled, for the purpose of selecting a pair
of gloves. In the store named there is a
very handsome clerk, the handsomest of
the craft probably in business here, not
barring even the handles in the grocery
trade. While walking about for the box
of gloves in demand, our h. c. remarked
casually, in a very seductive tone: 81
think l have seen you BEFORE This
rather startled the young lady, who did
not know what to say, and she only num-
bled back from under her veil something
which nobody could understand, and
which probably was not meant to convey
any particular reply. MOI at all put out,
or even suspecting that his mind was &C.
cupied upon a case Of mistaken identity,
he pursued his investigation thus. owe
had a nice time last night, didn't we?
Wasn't the music good, though" The
reply to this second query was not clearer
or more pertinent than the first. In ex-
aiming the gloves the lady found non to
suit her, but was urged to take a certain
pair which our h. c. thought would be just
the thing for the fair purchaser. mo"
she demonstrated, "I don't like them at
ALL" ooh, yes you do" he said, "Clara
got a pair just like them" The young
lady left, and when she entered an adjoin-
ing store In search Of gloves she wore no

BAD DOGS.
They Prove & "TnOrn ia tl.e Flesh

They Prove 81 '.ThOrn ia tlse Flesh
to u Very GOOd Man.
The dogs in Eureka seemed to have some
special spite yesterday against our good
Parson Crawford of the Episcopal Church.
He had started out, dressed in severe
black, to call upon his lady parishioners,
and went to the Postoffice first to inquire
for his mail. AS he stepped inside of the
door a huge black Newfoundland dog
dashed upon him and bit him in several
places about the legs, and, worse than that
a good deal, rent his best pants in great
gashes. The reverend gentleman, as be-
comes a patient Christian, made as little
to-do about the unpleasantness as possible
and returned to the rectory, whittier he
summoned a tailor to mend the irreproach-
able brooches so cruelty torn, in order that
he might issue forth again to his holy
visitations. He had not gone far on his
journeyings, however, so bad was the
blood of the canine species, in fact he had
barely trod the sidewalk north Of the
Courthouse, when o "pet" Of a dog, a
little tootsie wootsie of q black-and-tan
that was mincing along at the heels Of its
mistress, went for those same clerical
pants again. This was too much for the
flesh to endure, and the Parson made a
vigorous swipe at tho little pop-eyed beast
with his cane. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that. in his overtaxed and nervous state.
he missed the pet of a thing, which ran
away yelping all the same as though all its
ribs had been crushed by the blow. The
only physical harm was lone to the cane,
which went in two and danced around the
street as crazy as the frightened dog. So
far the tribulation of the good man was
great, but his cup was filed to the brim
when the feminine proprietor Of the
precious little yelping brute turned upon
him and exhausted all the "terms Of en-
dearment' in her vocabulary on his de-
voted head because of his soaring her dog.
Altogether, it was q bad day that the par
son had with bad dogs, but now that it is
all over he can console himself that he did
not fare worse and that his disagreeable ex-
perience is one of those things, like the
sight of a monster, that it will be pleasant
for him to recall hereafter, perhaps, and
to philosophize upon. We're he not OF the
cloth that eschews such means of distrac-
ton, it would be in order possibly to sug-
gest that he join with the gay and festive
throng tonight and throw off any gnaw-
ing thoughts that may still linger to dis
turb him, and seek whatever Of consola-
ton there is to be had at the "kickers'"
hall.

We are authorized to state that the
ladies of the Episcopal Church have made
up their minds to give a festival on the Goth
inst. They have given themselves time
for elaborate preparation, and between
now and the date proposed they will DO as
busy as bees to see if they cannot get up
the most complete and agreeable enter
tainmept of the sort ever devised in Eu-
reka. Their last festival was quite enjoy
able and had some very pretty features to
commend it to the public, but 1t was
necessary to gather up in haste and many
things were left out that would have added
to its success. The entertainment pro-
posed for the 26th, however, is going to be
something memorable in the history. OF
social affairs on the Base Range. Time has
been taken to map out and plan the whole
affair from beginning 20 end, in all its de-
tails, and no expense will be spared TO
make of 1t an historical mark in the camp,
to which people will refer as travellers on a
journey across the desert all events from
the time they spent at the oasis where
they rested and were refreshed.

QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
The Amende Honorable for Any
Little Inaccuracies of Ours.

n Amende Honorable for Any
Little Inaccuracies of Ours.
We are credibly informed hat the Pres
ident of the Richmond Mining Company
OF Nevada, whom we, in a complimentary
article OH Wednesday, designated as the
philanthropist Of the Base Range, at the
opening of Justice Harmon's Court yester-
day morning rose to a question of privi-
lege and took occasion to in
strong terms upon the SENT1NEL's article
of day before yesterday, and accused us of
endeavoring to influence the Justice in the
grand larceny case now being heard by
him. How" it is possible for any one to
believe that we could in any way by any
article influence a man like Justice Of the
Peace Harmon in a criminal hearing like
the present is beyond our reckoning. The
article was not written with any such in
%tention, nor could it have by any posi-
bility any such effect. In fact, we have
no luminosity against the men who stand
charged with the crime of stealing ore,
and so far as they are concerned we sin
cerely trust that they can prove their in
nocence. We have not in any way ex-
pressed any opinion as to their guilt Or
innocence, nor do we intend to do so, as
that is a .matter at present solely within
the province of Justice Harmon. But we
do claim the right, and intend to exercise
it, to publish what we deem proper in con-
nection with the current events of the day
in our community. If in so doing we are
led to comment upon the philanthropio
position occupied by as prominent a gen.
tleman as the President and counsel of the
Richmond Mining Company of Nevada,
when he himself states that he occupies
that position without remuneration, be-
cause he does not like to see the power of
a corporation used to Cypress poor men,
we must be excused if we are led to doubt
in these piping political times the entire
sincerity of such protestations. We earn
estly hope that this philanthropic feeling
will grow upon the learned gentleman,
and we would rejoice sincerely to know
that hereafter when any poor man in our
community who is in trouble wishes a
learned and wise counselor that the hon
orable gentleman will hold himself in
readiness to take his part without fee or
remuneration. How the gentleman can
reconcile his statement yesterday as this
question of priviloge-that neither him
self, Mr.. Cheney, nor Mr.. Beatty is an
attorney for or in the employ of the Rich
mond Company-passes our comprehen-
sion, for, unless we are much mistaken,
in the last trial between the Albion and
Richmond Companies, in Judge Rives'
Court, Mr.. Wren and Mr.. Cheney certain
ly took a very active part, and Mr.. Beatty
a passive part, as attorneys or counsel for
the Richmond Company. 1t is possible,
however, that the President of the Rich
mond Company of Nevada, in his philan-
thropic zeal, may have retained Messrs.
Wren, Cheney and Beatty to d~efendsthese
two men before Justice Harmon. IfBuch
is the case, we can only say, all honor to
that gentleman, for his well known philan-
thropy has indeed taken a practical shape.

Nearly six tons of ore were shipped to

Kentuck mine that worked S240 per ton.
This mine has produced $500, 900, and at
one time was one of the best mines in this
district. The Mountain Boy mine, which
adjoins it, has produced over $500, 900,
and the Rose mine. also adjoining it, and
worked by the original locator, after whom
1t is named, has produced over $50, 900.

GUARD THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Republican Way of Warding
OF SectnrianisEl. q

OF SectarianisEl. .
The Enterprise and Carson Appeal, until
very recently, have rent TIE air with notes
of warning against the Democrats of Me-
vada for the fatal omission Of a plank in
their platform pledging themselves to keep
the church folk out of our free schools.
The following article from the Virginia
Chronicle may serve to explain why they
have let up crying wolf:
Is it in the interest Of uon-sectarian ed
u~cation (which they profess to adore) that
the Republicans continue to nominate par
sons for School superintendent and
Trustees? Rev. George R. Davis, an Epis-
copal clergyman (the father of the editor
of the Carson Appeal, and father-in-law Of
the editor of the v. Il T. Enterprise), has
been put up by the Ormsby Republicans
for School Trustee. The Washoe Repub-
licans on Saturday last nominated Rev.
W. r. Jenyey, an Episcopal clergyman and
brother-in-law of the editor and proprie-
tor of the Reno Gazette (Rep.), for County
Superintendent of Public Schools.
The first Republican who held the Office
OF State Superintendent of Public %Instruc-
ton was a Methodist minister-Rev. Mr..
Fisher. His Republican successor was an
Episcopal minister Rev. Mr.. Kelley. The
Republicans four years ago thought they
would change back to the old denomina-
ton fer luck and they nominated a Metho-
dist minister-Rev. Mr.. Hammond-to
succeed the Episcopal parson.
The Chronicle is not altogether accurate
in its statement. The Methodist and
Eplscopalian clergy are not the only ones
that have represented the Protestant cloth
at the head OF the School Department. A
Presbyterian parson, the Rev. White, pre-
coded Mr.. Fisher and enjoyed the first
opportunity at 'intiuence" nightmare
that caused the Enterprise and Appeal
sleeplessness until the recent conventions
at Carson and Reno.-ED. SENTINEL.
Judging by the past and current Repub-
lican nominations for offices connected
with the control Of the public schools,
that party is very plainly in favor
OF handing the schools over to the par
sons.
The Chronicle has nothing to say to the
d~isparagement of the personal character of
Rev. Mr.. Davis of Carson or Rev. Mr.. Jen-
vey of Reno. The first is an estimable old
gentleman, who worthily fulfls his sacred
duties as an Episcopal rector. The latter
was for several years associated with
Bishop Whitaker in church work in this
city, and is q gentleman whose life is a
model of what an Episcopal clergyman's
should be. But the hands of the clergy
should be kept off the public schools. Let
US have either one thing or the other
UNCONVENTIONAL schools, or schools in
which the instruction is purely secular.
All believers in purely secular schools,
who live i'm Washos and OrmSby Counties,
should, and no doubt will, vote against
Rev. Mr.. Davis and Rev. Mr.. Jenvey.
