ED. SENTINEL: In these times Of n
eral dizziness it helps all sorts of ways to
strike it," Now, in Taylor, since things
look so well lard they are looking always
better, this camp has been growing every
other way, especially in political import
ance. 1t looks now as though right here
where but a little while ago nothing but
dust-hued ssgebrush and unattractive
float greeted the eye of the prospector-we
are more than likely to be honored with a
County Convention. Hamilton's glory
seems to have faded much, and it is, az
you see, a great deal harder to recapture
glory than to be glorited for the first
time. From what l i hear reliably from the
county seat there is a lively possibility,
not to say a strong probability, that
Treasure Hill and vicinity will yet shine
again as though all the lightning Of mines
had struck e. N. Robinson's monument at
once. But this will have to be demon.

busted mining camp has as hard a time
to regain its reputation as q woman who

Not to be too much Of a physicist in ex-
tending the argument further, / may say
1t is vastly easier TO get hurt than to get
we'll. l once saw a learned man stare 80
hard that it seemed his spectacles would
be pushed of by the gaze he INDUCED him
self in. He thought, and, maybe, thinks
80 yet, that all of US humans came from
the so-called original pair. the notorious
Adam and Eve. An ignoramus asked him
if he thought the negro came from the
loins Of our common parents just named.
He said yes, but the race had been sub
jected to ages OF physical debasement and
moral degradation which had at last
marked the colored citizen, causing his
personal appearance to be what it is now.
The ignoramus (myself) then asked the
philosopher il he thought the negro,
placed under elevating influences for any
number Of years, could be brought back
up TO the high standard OF moral and physi-
cal beauty from which he had fallen. Then
came that prolonged and vacant stare that
| have referred to. He was broken up by
the question; but he answered: There is
no man 80 wise but he will make a fool OF
himself in this way. He said: Il can
only assert the principle of nature that TO
do any injury is easy, but to obliterate its
effect is not" So here l am back from
my wanderings-brought around the circle
to the point that Taylor, in its bloom, can
probably capture a County Convention,
while Hamilton, with all its departed glory
to back it, can't. And if, as l expect, the
Democratic Convention meets here, our
glory will be all the greater.

any other camp.
