Nevada a Bonanza of Beef.
 From the Territorial Enterprise.l


 Since last Tuesday ffty-eight carloads of beef cattle have been sent over to California. The stranger passing through State is apt to put it down dreary desert waste
 There is indeed preponderance of desert
 seen along the line of the Central Pacific
 railroad but even what appears to be desert to the uninitiatedis is land that produces white sage and nutritious wild grasses. Little of our best valley country is seen by those pass ing through the State by rail. Almost every where on the hill, which to the eye of the stranger appear brown and sterile, is found growing the native bunch grass. Not only is this bunch grass very nutritious while green and growing, but also when ripe and apparently dead. It bears great quantity of seed resembling millet, which, . fat tener of cattle and horses, is said to be supe- rior to barley. Before the whites came to the country, from this seed came the whole bread supply of the Piute Indians. Mixed with the oily seeds of the wild sunfower, cakes were made of the bunch grass seed that were perfectly satisfying to the untu-
 tored Piute palate.
 Remarkable Preservat1on.-SR
 5sss From the Lafayette Qnd.) Dispatch NEE SThe other day the body of David Kurtz, which had been buried for several years, was
 taken up for reinterment in the new cemete- ". The face of the dead was fresh and ifeliko as when laid away. In addition to
 this, a startling feature of the case, and one that has filled the friends with horror ever since, is the fact that the right arm of the dead man, which when inferred was known to have rested folded across his breast, was found to be turned back and rested under the small of the back, leaving the impression that possibly he might have been buried alive What adds to this theory is the cir cumstances that attended MT. Kurtzs death. One day, feeling unwell, Kurtz took dose of morphine. His family became alarmed, summoned physician, who gave him some medicine-not knowing that he had taken morphine-and went away. Kurtz died. After burial little daughter of Kurtz dreamed that her father had been buried alive, and so viVidly was the fact impressed on her mind that to satisfy her the body was disinterred two days later. At that time the body was found to be just as it was when buried, the arms folded across the breast, &c. Last week daughter of the dead man died at Indianapolis, and was brought here for burial Is was found impossible to place her beside the remains of her father, and it was decided to take up the body of the latter and place it in 8 new lot. In this way the discovery was made leading to the belief of premature burial.

 The ups and downs of prices to-day were incon- siderable and unworthy of special notice. At one time quotations were pretty firm, at another sus- picfously weak and betwixt and between times so muddled up that nobody exactly kuew whether it was better to be bull or a bear. Some bits of news of rather doubtful integrity were flying about It is reported that the Jersey Central officers have been enJoined from passing over any more securi- ties to the Reading company. The inference is that the Jersey Central dividend, due December 1, will not be paid The bears to-day say that neither will the coming Lake Shore dividend be paidr see. ing that the road has not made money enough with which to pay it, and that the Nickel Plate line has been Tor months past something worse than mill stone about its neck.

 Simultaneously with the Rev. A. R. Eagan's taking charge of the West Granby Methodist church in April last, increased religious interest began and has contineud unto the present time. He has spoken for the master with all boldness. He has not said word in justification of the distillery business, and yet distillers admit that what he says is true. He has advocated from the first what is called Christian holiness. " Not a few of his church members accept the doctrine and govern themselves ac- cordingly. On Tuesday, December 2nd, there will be begun, to continue four days, so-called holiness convention, par from out of town, viz: Revs. J. Gill, of Boston, Mass; J. A. Wood, of Attleboro, Mnss; B. W. Gorham, of Sea Cliff, N. Y.; H. N. Brown, of Norwich, Conn.,, and J. N. Short, of Cambridge, Mass; also a 1ayman of prominence, Deacon George Morse, of Putnam, Conn. It is expected that all per sons of the town and vicinity attending the sessions, beginning at 10:30 a. m, at 2:30 and 7:15 D. m., will provide for themselves.
 We understand that the Methodist society is painting the parsonage within and with out. The church edifce is also being re- painted. About fifty persons of that parish have assumed to lead a religious life since spring, of whom about twenty-five have join ed the church on probation. Indeed, by its fruit, the Eagsn tree is agood tree, and quite likely to be coveted by more than one Me thodist parish in due time.
 HOn December there is to be 8 Sunday school convention, one session. beginning at half-past one p. h., at the Congregational church of this place, under the auspices of Hall and Roberts, the State Sunday school men, of West Hartford.
 The so-called Professor" Hammond has opened singing school at West Granby. The schools are had every Friday and Satur- day evenings.
 The majority of this town concede with great reluctance the defeat of NIT. Blaine. The Plumed Knights men hardly know what to do with their helmets, their togas and torches. The minority are simply serene They constitute one great garden of blooming sunhowers An excellent suggestion by someone that ex-Governor IngersoH would grace President Cleveland's Cabinet.

At The Gate Of The Texas Eden.
 [From Letter in the Louisville Courier-J our
 nall
 Travelling on the old Mckenzie trailfon the third day we stopped to lunch and water our horses at the fow-out of the Blanco Cor White) river, which flows through Bianco Canon for forty miles, and which, it should be remembered, is only the fresh water fork of the Brazos. We had halted at the gate of the Texas Eden, where the painter would have stood entranced, pencil and brush being all too tame to put in lines or color the grand landscape where earth and brush and hill and water and cloud and sky mingle into an in describable picture. The sun was shining brightly adown the valley and upon the mountain bluffs looming up hundreds of feet above the limpid stream flowing through the center of the canon. The grass, which was tinged with the autumn brown in the open valley, appeared in green plats and patches, in the ho1lows and under the shadows of the canon bluffs. Myriads of flowers, blooming and withered, cropped out from the hillock, rock-base and open prairie. Rare among them was the Texas star, five leaved flower, which heads to the north-a veritable flower magnet. Rare 1t IS, and growing still rarer as the rude hoof of horse and cattle continue to trample it out. The hardy towering cactus is everywhere. Nature made big effort in the spreading mouth of Blanco Canon. This canon is about forty five miles long, and widens from it's source like a wedge, until at it's mouth there are fifteen or sixteen miles of plain and brush and rich grasses. As we cross the crystal stream flowing over limestone and gus sum beds we follow the trail up over the bluff, where the fossil sea shells crop out on every bare surface, and there, stretching away to the far distance, we see and for the first time realize the extent of the ranges known as the ''Staked Plains" In the won derfully clear sunlight we see herds of cattle feeding, and away towards hill range some startled antelopes and are scampering off in alarm. This trail up the steep bluff over which we have just come has been beaten into a smooth path by the countless feet of buffalo and antelope and Indians for centu- ries. Here, where the savage in his primitive brutality once hunted the noble game, we now see cattle feeding undisturbed in the great range of the Kentucky Cattle Raising company. The buffalo have departed, but in their place have come short-horn cattle, showing the peaceful marriage between the wild cattle of the West with the thoroughbreds of the bluegrass of Ken tucky

A RARE AUToMATON.

Schenectady,s Mechanical Marvel Which Is To AstOnish The World. From the Troy Standard.]
 Nicholas TheIan, of Schenectady, black smith by trade, is now engaged on piece of automatic work which will be completed in
 another week, and which is really wonderful in construction. By the aid of ninety four small limitations of human beings, the move ments of which are regulated by machinery,
 MT. Thelan portrays the closing scenes in the life and death of Christ The cabinet is of light weight, and could be easily transported
 iron one place to another. The machinery
 is in the lower part. There are nine com
 partments in the upper cabinet, the doors of
 which open in rotation and disclose the pro
 gressive scenes of the passion. In the lower
 part are keys similar to those in a large or
 gan. In front of these and 8 little above
 is large roller, operated by cog-wheels and
 rope Attached to the rope is a heavy
 weight, which, after being raised, is allowed
 to descend, and the machinery is set in mo-
 tion. The roller, on which are small pieces
 of wood placed at intervals, turns slowly, and
 each piece in it's turn comes in contact with
 8 key. A wire leads from each key to sepa-
 rate compartment in the cabinet, and when
 the pieces of wood on the roller strike the
 keys, the compartments open and the mute display begins. When the machinery is first
 placed in motion a curtain rises in the front of the cabinet and Christ and his apostles are discovered sitting at the last supper. It is the moment when Judas, half arising, leans toward his master and says: FELord, is it I2' The curtain falls, doors near it open, and the Saviour is seen in prayer, an angel lowering near by; close at hand, the apostles lie in different attitudes of repose. The third scene opens upon the garden where Judas betrayed the Savior. The picture is DOT trayed by nineteen figures, six being soldiers. Following this the apostles slowly pass through the corridor of Pontius Pilates palace, but when they are in front of the audience, door opens above them, the Saviour appears and blesses them. At the same time Peter, in shame, turns his head away. When the procession is first seen Satan's head shows above the cabinet. It fixes it's gaze on Peter for instant, and then turns to Judas, and does not remove it's eyes until the figure disappears. The fifth scene represents the scourging of Jesus, seven figures taking part. In the following Jesus is crowned; in this there also seven figures. Then comes the courtroom scene, where Jesus is sentenced to be crucifed. Here Pontius Pilate is seated on the throne listening to the message from his wife. The the cross between two thieves. Near by is a troop of Roman soldiers with their leader on horseback. The ninth and last scene rep resents the ascension, shown by twelve fig ures. .sA2::@z- -
