Tom Trainer is after the long term Com
missionership, and says so in a business
like fashion $50 in advanced in this
mornings SENTINEL. Mr.. Trainer is 9
Republi can, but that is no reason why we
should hesitate to be candid and say those
kindly things Of him that may be said
of him with truth and propriety. He is a
systematic man of business who has been
successful in managing his own affairs,
which is a fair guarantee Of his capacity
to attend to the affairs OF the county. He
has lived in Eureka a good many years,
and has made his way up by good, solid
hard work. He ia a man OF enterprise
and of wholesome views Of public policy.
and there will be no risk in trusting to
him the care Of the ~county's interests. His
reputation is spotless among his neighbors,
and he would be a Commissioner in whom
the taxpayers would have no risk to take.
Having such qualifications for the place,
he could not fail, should he be nominated,
to be considered with great favor at the
polls.

Bothered the Doctor,

Troy Press: DR.. McKosh is celebrated
for egotism, and the best of it is he is neve
conscious of it.
He has q broad Scotch accent, and tn,
habit of gnawing at the joint of his thumb
when busily thinking.
Some years ago he was lecturing before
the senior class in Princeton College. H,
had been discussing Leibnitz's view of thu
reason of evil, to the effect that mankind
was pnt upon the earth because there was
less evil here than elsewhere.
One of the seniors inquired, "Well
Doctor, why was the evil introduced into
the world ?"
"Ah !" said the Doctor, holding up bott
hands, "ye have asked the hardest question
in all Philosophy. Suckkrates tried to an,
swer it, and he failed; Kahnt attempted il
and made bad work of it; Leibnitz tried it
and he begged the whole question as I've
been tellin' ye; and l confess" (gnawing al
his thumb knuckle)' 81 don't know-what
to make of it my self"

Lancashire HumOr.

Ab~urly-looking orator of the popular sort
had mounted a table, and was addressing
a motley assembly of operatives in a frothy
speech anent some reigning question of the
day. A man in the background, wearing
a tall "stove-pipe" hat was gaping at the
speaker, and evidently enjoying the per.
plexity of a man behind him who was
lodging about to obtain a better view Of
the proceedings.
At last the man with the tall hat, after
being nudged and pinched, turned round
to his tormentor and said:-
"What dos't want to be at ?"
"Why, I connot see; thi hats i tn road"
said the other.
"Well, thae'd be a deal wur [worse of
still if ali TUX my hat off. Me yure's hair
16 inches lung, and it stonds straight up.
In fact, ah have to put my hat on to keep

Unfortunately Untrue.

Some time since a couple OF quacks resi-
dent in San Francisco advertised extern
sively that they had cured Gen. John Day,
formerly of this city, from deafness with
which he had been afflicted since early
boyhood. The report gave his many
friends here much pleasure. One par
ticular friend here wrote the General q
letter OF congratulation, and in reply the
latter said the report Of his cure was false
in all respects. Some IL years ago he
tried the quscks above referred to and
they gave a bit OF temporary relief, a very
brief relief, and since then he has again
been compelled to use his conversations
trumpet, a fact which will be greatly de-
plored here.-Carson Tribune.
Which goes to confirm what the Sen
rrNEL had to say recently in regard to
those quacks, who not only cruelty dupe.d
Gen. Day but are practicing. and will,
perhaps, always practice, their devilish
confidence tricks.

Introduction OF the BOca Conn
panY'a New Raar

The perfection of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production of the
"Pilsener Beer"-it is of the most beauti-
full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as if it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying a glass, its ap-
pearance is fully borne out by it's taste. It
Is delicate, with smart sm ack of hops and
malt, and leaves lingering flavor on the
tongue. One of its best qualities is its
lightness, causing no headache, even if
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to, if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and all orders
will be promptly executed by
