A Great Victory.

Our dispatches this morning contain
news that is Of profound and cheerful in
,rest to the people of the Pacific Coast,
and specially to us of Nevada. There was
serious apprehension that the enemies OF
silver would accomplish their purpose to
repesl the coinage law, by which 1000, 900
Of silver are coined monthly. Had they
scceeded, mining in this State. which is
lsnguishing just now, would have received
a blow from which it would have been hard
10 recover. The silver interest is already
handicapped at every turn, and the repeal
Of the coinage law would have been
not unlike the last straw which broke the
cancels back. A private dispatch from
Representative Cassidy (which he marked
personal" but which we use TO this ex-
tent nevertheless1 says it was the hardest
fight Of the session. This can be readily
understood by those who have kept the
run Of affairs and have observed the power
Of the combinations made to practically
dsmonetize the precious metal in which
we Of Nevada are most interested. To
withstand the opposition seemed like un-
d~ertsking to fight q windmill. The gentle
men who made the fight for us are emit.
tied 10 the thanks and recognition of their
constituency.

its almost incredible yield in the past, and
its i~ncalculsble possibilities for the future,
as nothing more than a barren waste, If
you please, still it is inevitable that it will
be the transcontinenta roadbed OF the
future. Immediate and cheapened trans
portation is becoming more and more
necessary as the competition now raging
grows closer and sharper. That there will
be any decrease in the competition cannot
be expected, for the Pacific, Coast expand
ing rapidly in all its industries, mining,
farming and manufactures, will demand
continually cheaper and cheaper freights
and fares, which will have to be provided.
Existing roads must come down in
their rates very soon; il not, their holding
out under the old cinch system will only
hasten the contamination that is earnestly
prayed for.
OUR ADVANTAGE.
When the road in built, it will, OF course,
not be with any reference to us, but we
will nevertheless derive the greatest bene-
fit. With a railroad running through
Nevada, by either of the points indicated,
it is safe to say that within IL months
after it got well under way the popula-
ton of the State would be doubled. With
the greatly reduced cost of machinery and
mining supplies and the ease of commune
cation with the outside world, consequent
upon the building of such q road, in
cheapened freights and fares, all the mines
now worked at a profit would become each
q bonanza; while many mines now aban-
doned would be opened again and devel-
oped with enormous gain. Millions OF
tons OF now valueless ore could be meas
ured on the dump as SO much net coin.
The ranches and pasture lands OF Nevada
would increase in value a hundred per
cent almost at once. The spell of depres-
sion now ~shrouding Nevada would be re-
moved and in its stead would come a uni
versal boom. The whole State would
spring into "bonanza" such as has made
its individual camps, at various epochs,
since $50, the wonders of the mining world.
This is not speculation; but, considering
possibilities, there is no fancy wild enough
to sketch the limits of Nevada's prosper
ity and growth under the magic influence
of the railroad or railroads that
will u~nfetter our industries and
cheer the hearts of our brave people.
And to complete the happy picture when
the elevating, banging, laundering boom
comes, Eureka will be on top. Without
consulting us, the money kings will have
to give us life again-a life more substan-
tial than we have ever realized before.
But, not to be ungrateful for favors not
intended, it is proper to give the assurance
to anybody interested in the railroad we
crave, that not a mile of track can be built
in Nevada that will not ultimately prove a
bonanza investment.

At any rate, ID is not altogether specula-
ton to say that a big fight is imminent
again between the U. P. and O. P. with
the D. G. R. G.. on the side. From such a
contest we can suffer no harm, and 1t
may do us very substantial good. A prom
inent gentleman in business in Eureka, in
discussing this matter with a representa-
tive of the SENTINEL yesterday, said that
he held his real estate in this camp TO be
worth so per cent more on account of the
prospect OF q railroad through Nevada
than ii would be worth without such q
prospect. at is bound TO come to us
sooner or later" he said, land its coming
is only a question of time. We have the
territory that the road has got to pass
over" In answer to q question as to what
THE ROUTE WILL BE
OF the future trans-Nevada road. he said
it cannot pass by US further of than 100
miles south, while it may be forced, for
the sake of economy in construction, to
come almost to our doors. He spoke OF
the pass through Quinn Canyon, in Nye
county, opposite Reveille, as the most dis.
taut point, about 100 miles south, and OF
Railroad Canyons through which, where
the Diamond range runs down into Hunt
ington Valley, there ia a natural, easy bed
for grading. This is about 40 miles north
from Eureka. and it would have to be
built by Andy Loucks' ranch, which is
only O few miles out of town.

The Boss Snake Story,

From the PlttSburg Dispatch.
While Priscilla Martin, of Scrogg's
Neck, was busting the book case last
summer a ST axe brought in a mouth
full of daisies and set them in a glass
of water that was standing on the
window sill. 1t afterward made
friends with the family and did va
rious lrious things about the place.
1t returns every summer and is al
ways welcome. 1t goes down the
well and fastens the bucket on when
ever off the rope, and it hangs from a
beam by it's tail and holds the leath-
er bag that the young man of the
house pounds back and forward with
his knuckles. Last week when they
were mailing lot of ice-cream for a
Sunday school picnic, the snake beat
TIE eggs with its tail, and it did it
better and about fifty times faster
than it could have been done in the

Organization.

The opposition to the denomination
of Governor Ireland is growing very
rapidly now in all parts of the state
Many men who have heretofore stood
by his excellency are falling rapidly
away from him. AS his acts and pub
lie career are held up in the light of
a liberal and candid criticism, the
utter weakness of the man and fault
mess of his policy become apparent.
This is not a circumstance to gather
the people about him in ever increas-
ing strength. The hurrah stage of his
candidacy has passed, and people are
now asking upon what grounds this
denomination is asked. The reply has
not been satisfactory. It's not enough
to say that custom prescribes, that be-
cause a man has had one term, there
fore he must have two, without any
reference whatever to the character of
the administration he has given the
people. The people know nothing of
the finesse of such rules. They
do not understand the subtleness of

Courtship in Alameda County.

ETOll tll6 Dali fTduClSCO Jail.
A story from Haywards, Alameda
county, where romances flourish like
the bay, recites that Peter Mussen is
chicken peddler, and that he loves
the widow Wrider, who lives on the
mountain road, not far from Hay
wards. She is a buxom dame of &c
ears, and the pedd!er has courted her
bravely, but she would and she would
not, until the amorous chicken mer-
chant nearly went out of
his mind, such as it is. He
did the next best thing, and
sought the fair of a San Francisco
clairvoyant. As may be readily be-
lieved, the prophecies was ready
enough with solution of the difficult
ty. Her declaration was that Mrs.
Wr1der was desperately in love with
a man with side-whiske MuSse1's
cheeks are as bare as "a pumpkin, so
he borrowed a side whiskered mask
and shotgun, and skulked down by
the widows house one Sunday even
ing recently. He list.n d outside the
door, and when he l.eard Mrs. Wri-
der tell her childi"a to go to
bed, he smashed the hree windows
and broke open the q or. Then he
fired charge of bllt shot through
the ceiling and departed, leaving his
mask behind him. His intention was
to personate the supposed side-whis-
kered object of the widows affections
in order to disgust her with her by.
pothetically hairy-faced lover. He
was arrested and tried before Justice
Austin, at Haywards, and on his trial
he swore that Mrs. Wrider had given
him powder in his tea some time be-
fore he adopted his novel means of
cutting out his hated rival. He was
sent to the county Jail for six months.
Mrs. Wrider denies that she ever gave
him any powder.

Wave on, delicious days of shower and shine,
Cool, cloudy mOrnS. and nOOntides white
and warm,
And even that melt in azure hyaline-
Wave to midSummer's long, Lethean calm.
For all the woods are shrill with stress of
song,
Where soft wings fiutter down to new-built
nests,
And turbulent sweet sounds are heard day
long,
AS of innumerable marriage feasts.
The flame of flower is bright along the plain,
The hills are dim beneath pile, brOOding
skies;
And, like kiss that thrills through every
vein,
The warm wind odor laden, stirs and signs.
Murmuring like music heard afar by night
FIR I'M boats becalmed on Star-illumlnated
streams,
Sad as the memory of lost delight,
Sweet as the voices that are heard i'll dreams
Wave, syren days, and break the spell that
WringS,
The burdened breast with underlined regret.
Hayward desires and vain imaginingS,
The nameless longing and the idle fret.
Wave on! We wake the love that tempts and
flies;
And where love is, thence peace departs full
soon;
But, ali, how sweet love is, cen though it dies
With thy last roses, o, enchantreSS June!

A Tramp Hero.

From the Cleveland Herald.
When Lake Shore conductor finds
tramp stealing ride on his train
he kicks the turnpike treader gently
and with consideration, for a recent
incident that happened to train 5,
west bound. near Delta, few nights
ago, has taught him that a tramp
may be hero in disguise. The team
of drunken farmer had attempted
to walk home on the railroad track,
and one horse had fallen through a
bridge near Delta, and was stalled
there with a broken leg. No. 5, heav-
lily Ioaded with passengers, was al
most due. The tramp ran with a
speed born of many watchdog chases
talk the station agent, secured a red
light, hurried down the track and
stopped the train just in time to pre-
vent an accident. The tramp not
only got free ride that night, but
was offered prominent position on
the road. Now the road is lined
with tramps on the lookout for bro
ken legged horses fast in bridges.

PEERY-MERCIER.

An interesting society event yester-
day was the marriage of Mr.. James
Peery, a prominent citizen of Austin,
to Miss Armantine j. MERCER. now of
this city, but formerly OF New Or
leans. The ceremony took place in
the presence of few friends of the
parties, at the Alta Vista Institute,
in which Miss Mercier, who has ac-
quired fine reputation as vocalist,
was the teacher of singing the past
year, during which she has made a
host of admiring friends.
After the nuptial ceremonies which
were very gracefully conducted
by DIR. Goodwin, the happy
pair and their friends partook
of some choice refreshments, prepared
for the occasion by Mrs. Kirby, the
accomplished principal of the insti-
tute, who acted as special hostess, and
was assisted at the table by the Mis-
ses Swearingen and others OF Miss
Mercier's immediate associates in the
| school. Many were the warm wishes
expressed for the happiness of the
newly welded couple, notable among
which was the following sentiment
voiced for them on behalf of the
whole company:
May life e'er prove bright warm sea
OF Joys that never perish,
| While DER il glideS loves bark as free
AS thoughts OF you we cherish.
| Among the many handsome bridal
presents were specially notable the
following:
Gold bracelets, from Mrs. Henry
Bier, (aunt of the bride) of New
Orleans.
Gold chain and locket, from the
mother of the bride.
Silver clrd-receiver, from Miss
Stella Jack son, of Austin.
Diamond earrings, from the bride
groom.
Elegant fan. from Mrs. Mary Bous-
egner, of New Orleans.
Cologne set, from Miss Birdie
Swearingen, of Austin.
Silver castor, from Miss Gertrude
SwearingeD, of Austin.
Silver card-receiver, and vases,
from Mr.. and Mrs. Il. IL. Kirby.
Beautiful lace fichu, from Miss
Begley.
Gold necklace, from Mrs. Mercier.
Silver pitcher and waiter, from Miss
Tullie FoIts, of Austin.
Beautiful cream colored pin cush-
ion, hanL painted, by Miss Mamie
Begley, of Austin.
Fine celluloid toilet set by the
brides father, DR.. Mercier, of New
Orleans.
Gold napkin ring by Mr.. Peery, IA
ther of the groom.
Jewelry case, ETC., by the the groom,
and other articles from young lady
friends.
A fine repast was spread for the
party, at the Austin house, where a
still wider circle of friends of the
bride and groom assembled to pay
them their compliments, and thus
happily ended the nuptual festivi ties
of the day. The couple left by pri-
vate conveyance for a two months
trip to the bridegroom's rancho in
Blanco county, from which they will
return to make their home in Austin.
