A man can carry. plug of this whisky
in his pocket, and when thirsty can pull
it out, dissolve chip of it in a tumbler
of water, or else take "chaw," as he
would of tobacco. 1t would be especial
ly valuable over the present liquid, as it
would save leakage. During battles the
whisky carried by armies for medicine or
stimulents, has been lost at the time
when needed most by the barrels or YES
sells being riddled by bullets. The boxes
containing solid whisky might be shat
tered, but during or after the battle the
cakes could easily be gathered up unin-
jured. Even if the article were never
manufactured at all, Mr.. Peterman's in
vention is valuable in the wonderful i'm
provement it makes in the distilling OF
liquid whisky. In very short time he
expects to be ready to show the world
the value of all his inventions. Nearly
all his machinery is patented, but the
article itselfis notnow, but soon will be,
patented.
Mr.. Peterman has made. his models

boilers and stills, curved the pipes-and
followed them out inside. He has

a model; hence he had to do it himself

thing Nice.
We are in receipt of the following letter
from Mrs. Francis Casey, Oberlin, o.
which may interest some Of our readers:
regarding proper and remuneratiye work for
women. Silk culture, poultry raising and
many other things have been we'll venti-
lated, and the result has not doubt been
very successful. But there are many
ladies who cannot raise silk worms, or
follow any employment of this kind. So
to this class l wish to introduce what to
me was entirely q new field. Some three
month since my uncle from Albany, N. Y,
was visiting us. We were speaking of
plated ware, in the manufacture of which
he is engaged, and to crafty my curiosity
he made a plating machine and replated
our knives, forks, spoons and casters.
The machine only cost 81 and did
the work perfectly. Some of our
n~eighbors saw what we had plated
and asked me to do some plating for them
| have since worked % days and cleared
S95 As. At almost every house I got from
So to So worth of plating to do and such
work is most all profit. This work is as
pleasant for ladies as gentlemen. 1 am
making a large cabinet, and to any of your
readers who will send me a small piece of
stone ore, shells, or old coins, / will send
them complete directions for making and
using a plating machine like mine that
will plate gold, silver and nickel. My OBJ
ject is to get as varied a collection of speci.
mems from as many parts of the world as
possible.

ASSESSOR ACT DECISION.
A Synopsis Of the Judgment of the
Court.

The SENTINEL is indebted to Hon. @. F.
Bicknell, Clerk, for the following synopsis
Of the decision of the Supreme Court Of
Nevada in the case Of The People ex. rel.
j. V. b. Perry vs.. The Board Of County
Commissioners of Eureka county: in
other words, the judgment Of the Court as
to the constitutionality of the bill passed
by the last Nevada Legislature extending
the term OF the Assessors of the several
counties Of the State two years, up to Jan.
l, 1887.
CARSON, New, Sept. 29.-The Court de-
cides the Assessor Act unconstitutional.
The Assessors is declared one of the "neces-
sary offices" mentioned in section 80, arti-
Gle 4, of the State constitution, and al
though created by the Legislature, it must
be filled by election by the people as
others; and that the extension of the term
Of the present incumbents is an abridge-
ment of the rights of the people; that the
Legislature may make provisional appoint
ments, in emergency, as in the White Pine
case, but not extend beyond the next gen.
eral election. @. f. BICKNELL.
Section 80, referred to in the dispatch,
reads as follows:
The Legislature shall provide for the
election by the people OF a Clerk of the
Supreme Court, County Clerks, County
Recorders, 4 Il II 4 # District
Attorneys, Sheriffs, County Surveyors,
Public Administrator and other NEoEs-
sARY OFFICERS, # 4 4
The argument in favor of the law was
that the Assessors office is not a consti-
t%utional office. but created by, and entirely
under the control Of, the Legislature.
The Court holds that while it is an office
created by the Legislature it falls under
the constitutional provision just quoted,
as a necessary Office"
The White Pine case cited by the Court
is that of Clarke vs. Irwin in Fifth Ne
vada Reports, which was a case brought
by the Attorney General (R. M. Clarke
against the Sheriff Of White Pine county
to test his title to the Office. White Pine
county had just been created, and in the
Act creating it, the several county officers
had been appointed and among them
Irwin, defendant, in that case, and had re-
ceived their commissions from the Gov
ernor. The case Of the Sheriff wa a test
case for all the officers of the county
holding by legislative appointment. The
Supreme Court evidently looked upon
this as n of emergency.
The case was argued before the Su-
preme Court by E. r. CARRIER, Esq, for
the State, and r. M. Clarke and Hon. Geo.
W. Baker for the County Com missioners.
1t will be, Of course, understood that
the Commissioners were without interest
in the suit either way and sumbitted the
case to test the law for their own guidance
in the premises.

who has hitherto borne a good reputation.

Girl with q Nose.

A. girl presented her nose to a surgeon
for improvement. II is very conspicuous,
and u~ndeniably destructive of the beauty
which her face would otherwise have pos
sessed. She said that she had read about
his Strengthening out and reforming a
nose that was f1attened and askew, and
she wanted him to take a section out of
her Romsn feature, thus transforming it
into q Grecian one. She had q pretty
clear notion, too, as to how the operation
could be performed; and he had to admit
that the plan was entirely feasible-that
her masculine beak might be altered into
a feminine bill, with only a scar across it
to mark the point where some of the SUI
perfuous material had been removed.
But he did not feel justified in carving
human faces for such a purpose, and had
to decline the job. She vowed, however,
that she would find q surgeon to do it if it
cost five thousand dollars Ex.
This is the first case of the sort on rec
ord. Enlargement Of the nose is easy.

Wood PetrifactiOns.

EUREKA, New, sept. 20 1864
ED. SENTINEL: l notice in your issue
under this date an inquiry from George
F. Kunz, Esq, of Tiffany's, New York, in
reference to the petrified forests of the
West. The plains and hills of Wyoming
are prolific in fossilized woods, especially
in the hills skirting the southern banks of
the North Platte between Forts Laramie
and Fetterman, although in specimens Of
no magnitude. The same features exist
in the Big Horn Mountains. In Colorado,
probably, the largest and finest Of the pine
species occur in Grand county, upon the
western slopes OF the Sierra Madre. Pet
rifed palms are found from near Golden
City, Col, all the way northwards along
the foothills across the great plains, and
penetrating beyond even the Greater Black
Hills. The pine tree specimens found in
Grand county are oftentimes two feet in
diameter. / was not aware that wood

The Democracy OF Eureka meet this
morning at 10 o'clock in convention at the
Opera House. The first thing that will
have to be considered is the resolution
adopted by the convention two years ago,
that no proxies shall be admitted. This
we do not consider binding, but ii is
something wholesome in its suggestive
ness. As many delegates as possible
should attend in person. We have full
confidence that the body Of representative
men who assemble to-day will appreciate
the importance and responsibility OF their
action. The paramount object should be
10 nominate for each office the best and
most available man for it. In all cases
consider that the nomination is n thing
and the election another; therefore, for
the sake of Democratic success let the
convention put forward men who will be
acceptable to the people. This is tho cri-
erlou suggested by reason and experience.
Inc Democracy have No. l material,
aud 1t Is expected that the convention will
Gull the very best Of it for their ticket.
They can name the winning men, and we
believe they will do 30. Above all, let
men put aside any personal feeling that
mey may have as candidates or as friends
70 candidates. Let ii be held in mind
mat the convention is of Democrats whose
ua'y is first to Democracy. Let harmony
and good will prevail, and whatever the
result shall be. let there be no ~malcontents
VI s0reheads. Some competitors must
ses left" Whoever they may be, it is
usediess to say that, having taken their
in the fight, they will take their
@Sdlclne like men. Do this, gentlemen,
Ana the Democratic victory in Eureka
'Ouosy OF two years ago will be repeated
On The 4th Of next November.

can nominee. The Democrats needn't go
far to find a man to give the Black Chief
all he can attend to-. The gentleman we
refer to is J. N. Hill. He is not an aspir-
ant for the honor of downing the Swarthy
Giant, but he says if his friends want to
nominate him he will accept and take of
his coat for the struggle. Gentlemen Of
the convention, you will make no mistake
in nominating Hill. II will strengthen
your ticket, and he will be the next

RACING.
Many Old-Time Records Put I'm the
Shade

This has been a remarkable year on the
American turf. In trotting to harness
2:10 has been beaten. In pacing to har-
ness, with a running mate, 2:06 has been
discounted, and there have been several
running records made that beat anything
in the history Of the turf. At the Sacra-
mento State Fair, on the 10Th inst, a mile
dash for two-year-olds was won by Alta in
the very low time of 1:42k. This is the
best two-year-old time ever made on the
continent and it ~justifies the claim of the
Chronicle that California is the best eli
mate in the world for the thoroughbred
horse. A similar race at Sheepshead
Bay, New York, on the Goth, was won by
Elizabeth, defeating barefoot (two-year-
olds) in 1:43A. The Sacramento time
was l 4 seconds better. 1t is not much by
comparison with even so small a section of
time as is taken up by the average earth
quake's motion, but as has been well re-
marked by the witty "Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table" it is the fractions of a
second That tell between the first-class
horses. The better time of the Sacra-
mento horse amounts to a defeat of the New
YORK nlly DY ABOUT 63 feet, n that ls q
good deal in a mile dash. 1t is not only
the best mile ever run by a 2-year-old in
America, but it has only been beaten once
this year by a horse Of any age, and that
only by a quarter of a ~second-say 12h
feet.
Another very spirited race was won at
Sheepshead Bay, IN the 18th inst, between
Miss Woodford and Drake Carter-the
latter Of the stable Of Pierre Lorillard.
The distance was two and one-half miles,
and the FLY won by 10 lengths in 1884.
On Saturday, days after this russell, Miss
Woodford ran a two-mile and repeat race
| over the same track, making the first heat
in 1888 and the second in 1914. When,
nearly 20 years ago, Harry Bassett made a
two-mile dash in 1888, it was thought by
| turfmen the best that any horse could ever
accomplish for that distance. 1t had been
beaten before this last race, but in q
single dash, and for q second heat, Miss
Woolford's time is not only the best ever
made, but probably the best that ever will
be made, unless we can get a California
| horse to do it.
