At last the country is satisfied that
Republican disasters can happen in States
where Democrats do not wear red shirts.
Won't Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Chandler
let us have a chance to try the thing
over again in Maine and New HamP-
shire, so that we can make it unanimous!
There will be a few contested seats in
the Forty-eighth Congress; they will be
decided on their merits, and not in &C
cordance with Republican precedents.
The half breeds see no hope for the
Republican party except in putting down
tk~,stalwart faction-''driviug it out OF
power everywhere and hurrying it out OF
sight" The stalwarts see no chance Tor
the party to have a future until the half
breeds are similarly suppressed. Thus
the wave of harmony rolls on.

THE ANIMUS.

The SENTINEL yesterday placed the
nnblic behind the scenes where they
MIGHT view the hidden spring by which
the Enterprise Observation-Disclosures article
OF Wednesday was shot into publication.
That article contained the following red
hot appeal to the press OF the State;
eve call upon the journalists OF Ne
yada to express their opinions on TINS
subiect. One Of their number, Whatever
have been his faults, was shot dow IN
malice for simply doing his duty. Inc
n~oitIcal mpa is over; and let 1t be
horne in mind that it was on the eve OF
the election that James Anderson was
slain. The excitement attending the
close of the campaign obscured all the
circumstances OF this tragedy. The slayer
and his victim. belonged to the Repu0ll-
can party. There are, therefore, no
~polltlcs in the matter. Both Democratic
and Republican journals can unite IN de
pouuc!ng this infamous attempt to tram
ple Justice under loot in Eureka County.
Nevada cannot well endure this shame.
The victim Of this dire tragedy was one
who had a 1 national reputation.
Now, the press OF Nevada have re-
spsct for the law OF the land and are
disposed to uphold regularly made judi
cial decisions. and they know, from read
ing the local exchanges, which is a part
OF the regular business, a good deal that

Cannibals and Cork Legs.

Great results are expected from an
experiment recently tried by the Ameri-
can Missionary Society. Last fall they
sent as missionary to the cannibalislands
brother who had lost both arms and
both legs in a railroad accident. He
was provided with cork limbs, and his
voice being in good condition it was be-
!1eved he could get in his work with the
heather as well as though he was a
whole man. The idea was to slow the
cunnibals to kill him and eat him, be-
heving that the heather would see the
error OF their ways and swear off on
human flesh. A report has been
received which is very encouraging. 1t
seems that the cannibals killed the good
missionary, and cut off his arms and legs
for sort of stew, or "boyaw," thus
falling directly into the trap set for them
by the Missionary Society The mission
airy stationed at the nexttown, who fur
nlshes the society with the data, saysitwas
tbs most laughable thing he ever wit
messed, to see the heather chew ON those
cork limbs. They boiled them all day
and all night, keeping up a sort of a
go-as-you-please walk around, or fresh
meat dance, and giving a sacred concert
about like our national Whoop it up,
Liza jane" and when they stuck
fork into the boiling limbs, and found
that the "meat" seemed water soaked,
they set the table and sounded the loud
timbrel for breakfast. The surviving
missionary says he shall never forget
the look of pain on the face of buck
cannibal, as he bit into the elbow joint
of the late lamented and struck a brass
hinge. He picked it out as an American
would pick buckshot out of piece Of
venison, and laid it beside his plate In
an distracted manner, and began to
chew on the cork elbow. Any person
who has ever tried to draw cork out of
beer bottle with his teeth can realize
the feelings of these cannibals as they
tried to draw sustenance from the
remains of the cork man. They were
saddened, and it is safe to say they are
incensed against the Missionary Society.
Whether they will conclude that all
Americans have become tough, and quit
trying to masticate them, is not known,
though that is the object sought to be
attained by the society. One of the
cannibals said he knew, when those
legs and arms would not stay under
water when they were boiling, and had
to be loaded down with stones, that the
meat wasn't right, but his wife told him
"some pork would, bile So" The expert
ment is worth following up, and we sup
pose hereafter there will be great de-
mand for men with cork arms and legs
to be sent as missionaries. After few
such experiences the cannibals may see
the error of their ways and become
Christians, and eat dog sausage and
Limberg cheese.-Peck's Sun.

AIligatOrs as Pets.

81 have some peculiar customers, ,"
the keeper of bird and pet-anlmal
store in Fulton street said. "There ATE
some ladies that purchase nothing but
white rats. I once asked one what she
did with them. She blushed little and
said she let them sleep on her pillow
with her. She 4ohdled them and taught
them little tricks. I have had quite
demand for young alligators recently.
Most Of the purchasers, curiously enough,
are ladies. You wouldn't think there
was anything particularly likeable in an
alligator, with mouth running nearly
half the length ct his body, out some
ladies think }, Ihate seen them throw
bits OF meat into an aquarium containing

What is Money.

A few weeks ago two gentlemen came
into my Office and put before me five
dollar national bank note. They re-
marked that they had agreed to abide
By my decision, and they asked me this
simple question els this money ?"
Certainly it is money" replied and
one man went off in triumph, and one
was sad. Perhaps the disappointed man
had presumed that I would say: "No,
it is not money, because it is not gold
or silver Now, gentlemen, was my
reply right or wrong? Let us settle
this point before we enlarge upon the
uses of money through the operations of
a national bank. And though am well
aware that it is hard to find ten men
who will agree to precise definitions up
on this subject, yet ! will venture this !:
Money is a measure of value, and a
medium of exchange.
While it may not be wealth, it is that
which distributes wealth. While it may
not be capital, it is that which employs
capital, In short, it is the measure of a
value and the medium of an exchange
Let me illustrate in a more familiar way
/ toss before you nickel five cent piece.
LOU Sdy tlldt ID luOuSN, dll you IL
right, because it measures the value of
five apples. Or show you postage
stamp set in tin frame, such as we
we're once obliged TO use, and ygu say
this stamp is also money. But I may
contend that postage stamp is not
money; but you will reply that if a
stamp will buy apples, then it is money,
for it becomes the measure of value
and the medium of exchange.
A hundred years ago, Indian corn was
used for money ); it bought goods and
paid debts.
T The old minister, III my native city,
was paid his salary part in paper money,
part in corn money and part in hard:
wood money. The corn was used at a
fixed price per bushel, and the wood al
SO much for cord. They paid debts,
they were measures of value and me.
