An AstNnished Conductor.

"Get aboard, old limpy,'' said pert
conductor to an aged, plainly dressed
man, standing on the platform, wait
ing for the signal to depart; get
aboard, old impy, or you'll be left"
At the signal, the old gentleman
quietly stepped aboard and took seat
by himself. When the conductor in
taking up the tickets, came to him,
and demanded his fare, he replied:
81 do not pay fare on this road"
"Then I will put you off at the next
station"
The conductor passed on and pass
enger who had seen the transaction,
said to him:
did you know that old gentle
man?"
mo, [ did not"
"Well, it is Mr.. -, the president
of this road"
The conductor changed color, and
bit his lips, but went on and finished
taking up tickets. As soon as he had
done he returned to ''old limpy," and
said:
"Sir, I resign my station as con-
ductor."
"Sit down here. young man. I do
not wish to harm you, but we run
this road for profit, and to aceommo-
date the public; and we make it an
invariable rule to treat every person
with perfect civility, whatever garb
he wears, or whatever infrmity he
suffers. This rule is imperative upon
every one of our employees. | shall
not remove you for what you have
done, but it must not be repeated"
This is a true story. The "old
limpy" was the Hon. Erastus Corn
ing, of New York, who has been dead
now for over ten years. He was a
member of Congress for eight years,
and one of the leading railroad capi-
talists Of the United States.
That conductor never addressed an
other passenger as ''old limpy."
1t is unsafe as we'll as ungentle-
manly to be impolite to the poorest
looking stranger. Many a boy has
started on the straight road to sue
cess by gentlemanly conduct, while
others have made dismal failure
because they were rude and impolite.

Hiram Sibley, of Rochester, N. Y,

world. He owns more than hun

formerly known as the ''Sullivant

in Cayuga Co., N. " $500 acres.
Farmer Sibley" is not, however, a
typical son of the soil, having long
been identified with great commercial
enterprises, and working harder with
his head than with his hands. He
organized and was for over fifteen
years president of the Western Union
Telegraph Co., and has also had ex-
tensive railroad interests. He is now

Sudden and Violent.

The change from the summer to the
fall season is so sudden and violent here
in the West that few can get through
the winter months without having a
cough or cold Of more or less severity
fastened upon them. The seeds of
that dread disease consumption are
usually sown in one of these much
dreaded months. Browns Expector-
ant is a sure cure for the most violent
coughs and colds, and will arrest con-
sumption if taken in time.

That Startling. Crash.

There came an awful sound, which
shook Eureka, Friday night between 0 and
10 o'clock, as an earthquake. There were
all sorts of coniectures about the origin Of
it. Some thought hat q real earthquake
had occurred; some thought a house had
tumbled down, while others thought it
must have been an explosion. Everybody
was inquiring about it for a day or 80, and it
was finally given up as q conundrum, too
hard to answer. If nothing more had
been heard about the terrific sound in a
week or ten days longer it might have
grown into the belief that the majority of
the people of Eureka were drunk, or had
been struck with IN hallucination- which
ia worse. There is nothing which escapes
the ear of the quid nunc OF a healthy
paper, however, and the whole mystery is
in the mind Of our reporter now, ready to
be explained with all the attendant sem
sational facts. But it was the grand
finale of q strictly social affair, and he
puts the strings on himself, offering only
this apology, that if he should tell every
thing he knows or hears about what trans
pires in the social world he might long for
a veritable earthquake to take him and
swallow him up, so hot would his neigh
borhood be.

TnSeRrOrH'a Rich Ores.

Tusoarora Mining News. The ores Of
Tuscarora District are rich in silver and
easily milled. A statement Of superin'
tendent Price Of the Navajo mine. pub
lished in these columns last Thursday,
gave the average battery assay for FIVE
months Of the ores from that mine s201 81
per ton, which were worked up to 02h per
cent OF the assay value. The Argenta ore
vein varies from six to eighteen inches in
width and carries a large amoun of ruby
silver. Assays ranging as high as Sl2,O0O
to the ton have been received from il, and
the average assay of the entire vein is esti-
mated at 5000 per ton. And every mine
in the district that has ore. or has pro-
duced ore, can boast Of the same richness.
The late Prof. W. Frank Stewart always
had great faith in the permanency and ex-
tent of the ores OF this district, and he
often remarked that he expected the future
would prove Tuscarora to be the best
mining district in the State of Nevada.
From present appearances his expectations
are to DO realised,

yesterday to hear that he had met with an
other serious accident. He had so far re-
covered from tho mishap which befel him
some time ago at the Skating Rink as to
begin to feel quite strong again. He had
put aside his orutches, and yesterday, sup
porting himself on a stout cane, he walked
M the street as far as the Richmond
works. On his way back he was walking
down q declivity from the Stag pile into
Spring street when he slipped. In trying
to recover his balance he pressed down
upon the leg, the muscles of which had
been terr~ibly,Druised by the previous fall.
It gave way under the weight, and no fell
down, breaking his leg above the knee.
He lay for a while PROSTATE and helpless,
and there is no telling how much Longer
he would have suffered alone on the frozen

assistance. A man, Il stout, brawny fellow
came along while Mr.. Hinckley lay suffer,

THE OVERLAND TELEGRAPH.
when IL was Constructed and Other
Interesting Details.


EUREKA, New, Jan. 16, 1888.
ED. SENTINEL: There has been quite a
controversy going on for the last day or
two about the construction Of the overland
telegraph line, the date of the enterprise,
| the managers of it, etc. If you have any
| definite information on the subject, you
would do several of your subscribers a
favor by publishing it. Very respectfully,
Tom, DICK AND HARRY.
In response to Thomas, Richard and
Henry we publish the following extract
from "The Telegraph in America" which
is authority in such matters:
"In the Winter of 1860. j. II. Wade, the
agent of tho Western Union Telegraph
Company, arrived in San Francisco and
preached the idea of an overland telegraph
between the Pacific and Atlantic States.
In a few weeks the Northern Telegraph
Company, whose ines extended from
Marysville to Yreka, under the manage
ment Of J. M. Hubbard; the Atlantic &
Pacific Telegraph Company, whose lines
extended from San Jose to Los Angeles,
under the management of James Street,
and the Placervilie d Humboldt Tele-
graph Company, who's lines extended
from Placerville to Virginia City, Nevada,
under the management of f. A.. Bee, were
merged into the California State Tele-
graph Company, with a united capital Of
81 ,250, 600, with the following officers:
President, H. W. Carpenter; Vice-Presi-
dent, J. Mora Moss; Secretary, E. s. Mil
Ter: Treasurer, r. d. Brewster; General
superintendent, James Gamble; Assistant
Superintendent, George S. Ladd."
AS soon as the project of a line to the
eastern seaboard took form an application
was made to the Legislature to construct
the western section. This was regarded
with favor, aud on April OF, 1860, 500, 600
was granted for that purpose. Acting on
the plan of the Eastern company, an or
ganization was effected for tho con-
struction of the overland line, with a
capital of 81, $50, COO, and named the
Overland Telegraph Company The
shares were promptly taken by the share
holders Of the California State Telegraph
Company, and its President, Secretary
and Treasurer became the officers OF the
new company. James Street was made
general agent, J. NJ. Hubbard Superin-
tendent of Construction and James Gam
BILE General Superintendent. Mr.. Gamble
limo was built in two sections, starting
from Carson City and Salt Lake, and was
finished Oct. 26, 1861. On its completion
the Overland Telegraph Company was
merged into the California State Tele-
graph Company Nov. 6, 1861, with a
united capital of 50, 500, 000. In April,
1862, George S. Ladd was elected Score
tary of the company"

An Economical View.

Senator Foley of Eureka has introduced
a bill for the compilation of the statutes
of Nevada, requiring the Supreme Judges
of the State and the Clerk of the Court to
do the work without additional compensa-
ton. Mr.. Foley claims this measure to
be in the interest of economy, and a saw
ing to the State of 81, 500 asked by a bill
already proposed. He claims that the
Judges and Clerk have sufficient time to
do this work, and that they are amply
remunerated by the State to do this service.
