VALENTINES.
A GrOwIer Puts Himself In the Way
TO be Hum Over.

10 D6 nun OtCEs
The following communication, however
just the sentimentor strong sense it ex-
presses, serves merely to show those who
'kick against the pricks" will never die:
EUREKA, Feb. "a, 1884.
Ed. SENTINEL: II is now q week and day
since the country was flooded with valen-
%entines, just about long enough to bring
their contents to the surface. l have
heard bitterest things said, and some of
the s%illiest speeches. too, in consequence of
I'll ese vicious missives, that humans can
we'll be thought capable Of. But 30 long
as young and ove.stricken youths are in
the world. the sentimental folly of St.
Valentines Day will be in existence. 1t
has survived many hundred years of
abuse and torture and unhappy conse-
quences, and to-day is as great an institu-
ton for the venting of love-sick complaints
and cowardly malice az it ever was. And
yet the source of the custom by which the
day is now noted was an heroic old priest,
who never had a loye-match in his life,
and was beheaded some 16 centuries ago
by the Romans for a deed purely of
humanity. Thus queerly do things como
about, and q good old man is unwittingly
the cause Of a custom which is as much
devoted to the circulation Of inhuman
libels as to amatory declarations.

A well known gentleman Of Eureka,
who left here some time ago, has been
for a long time on the Pacific Coast away
from his relatives, and. for some reason
or other, has declined to communicate
with them any more. The SENTINEL has
received several letters in regard to him
and has sent bis address to his friends.
He has, we judge, from further correspond
ence with them, refused to take their let
tiers out of the P~ostofice and has ignored
communication from this office. Yester-
day we received other letters stating that
his father had died and that his presence
at home is needed in the settlement Of a
considerable estate. of which he inherits a
part. We suspect that this news will
bring him out OF his shell.

Jay.Eye-see I'm Double HARNESS..

Milwaukee Sentinel: On Thursday the
famous little %trotter. Jay-Eye-See, was
hitched to the pole with Ellen Sprague
and driven about Racine by Edward
Bither. 1t is the first time the animal has
been in harness since last Fall. No per.
son, to look at the horse as he was being
driven along that day, would imagine thai
he was the fastest in the world. He is q
very small and inferior looking animal a,
a distance, but upon close inspection the
fine points can be seen at q glance. Bither
says the wonder is in perfect health and
condition. Next season, if everything is
right, he will drive Jay-Eye-See one mile
in less than 2:10. One gentleman who
stood on the street and observed Bither
drive by with the team, wanted to know
what little plug that was on the left hand
slider" He was almost paralyzed when in.
formed that he could not purchase that
plug for 500, 900, and that it was Jay-Eye.

A Suggestion.

By request from a respectable source. we
make the proposition that the guests in
vited to the Masquerade ball Monday night,
instead of excepting a hospitality gratis,
pay something. which may be sent East
gested that each holder of an invitation
pay ST so. making So for each couple.
The people of Eureka have accepted charity
and have been relieved by the generosity
of strangers, and it appears to us that the
sggestion to respond is we'll timed and
~commendable. The few gentlemen who
started the masquerade proposed in the be-
ginning and propose now to bear all the
expense of the entertainment among
themselves. Cannot theg great majority of
those who attend merely as their guests
make the sacrifice Of 81 so each in the
cause of homeless. destitute humanity?

The ..San Framciscan.'

The first num- Der OF this weekly ap-
peared last Saturday. In shape and size
il is a counterpart of the Argonaut.
Among its contributors are a number of
strong popular writers, notably Joseph L.
Goodman, Arthur McEwen and Thomas E.
Flynn, proprietors, and Thomas Fitch and
r. M. Daggett. 1t seems to take its first
steps in the attitude of challenge to Frank
Pixley. With this gentleman two of the
contributors to the San Franciscan, Arthur
McEwen and Tom Fitch, have had sharp
tits, which. it is quite likely, will be re-
peated. The new paper is entirely jour-
nalistic both in makeup and in the charac-
ter of its articles.

A BOyis Freak.

Yesterday morning, between 9 and 10
o'clock, spectators on the west side of Main
street were amused by the antics OF three
boys who had climbed to the top Of Rich
mond Hill and, at a headlong gait, were
coming down the slope on a ridge of crusty
snow. About every 20 yards they would
have to stop, for fear of descending like
rockets into the big ditch, hundreds OF
feet below; and in order to stop they had
to tumble down and roll. There is moth.
ing but boyishness that makes boys do
such crazy things; or, to use the words OF
a representative of the grand philosophi-
cal nation" of which Bismarck is the
head, f'they do il to relieve them selves OF
a superabundance Of vitality"

A Dog Returns TO His VOmft, n
Woman 10 Her shame.


The death by poison Of Mrs. Uhler,
whose brother about q year ago shot W.
H. Hayerstiek in New York City, is pretty
much what might have been expected
under the circumstances. The woman
seems to have been deserted on every side
and left to get on in life as best she might.
She made no apparent effort to provide
for herself, but gradually parted with her
possessions until starvation or suicide
seemed her only alternative.
The clearinghouse keeper in whose
rooms she died says she had eaten nothing
for q week, during which time she was
changed from a reasonably plump woman
almost into a skeleton. There are ele-
ments Of cruel pathos in the story OF this
unfortunate woman. Many there will be
who will draw a strong moral from 1.-THE
moral that all crime must have its punish
ment, and that Mrs. Uhler's sad and lonely
death Is the legitimate outcome OF her first
step Of wifely intidelity.
But there is another side to this matter.
II the woman had been moved by any but
the most blindly stubborn of determine
tlons, she might undoubtedly at this time
nave been living in comfort amid reputable
surroundings. Her brother. il will be re-
msmbered, quarreled with Haverstick and
Killed him beca use he interfered to prevent
yer from going West with her natural pro-
aector.
Alter that tragedy was over, she might
nave mad Q homo provided for her by her
brother 81 Reno or by her other relatives
IA San Francisco, who now declare that
'ne unfortunate repealed their
Uners OF aid. In the less conventional
west there are possibilities Of honestly
nylng down the mistakes of a past life.
Mrs. Uhler could have begun a new career
WIN the chances of regaining a decent
iesel' but after a few weeks spent IN this
sue Of the Rocky Mountains she turned
ner back upon her relations and was drawn
pack to New York by the fascination of the
shameful tragedy there, OF which she had
prayed the chief role. She preferred to
remain upon the scene OF her degradation
asd misery, where she had been the cause
u her husbands humiliation and a para
mour's death. This is purely a case of
woman's insane folly, persistent to the end.
mere is little to o n pity in the case,
ave the weakness Of mind which led her
70 take the first bad step which started her
us1nrally on a dangerous and shameful
after-life.

Afterwards the fire laddies had every
hose house ornamented in a similar be-
coming manner. The body OF the day
went off much as Sunday does in a mining
camp. The sun was coy and little crowds
everywhere could be seen taking in the COM
mon lnminary at the pores. In retired
"psrlors" there were bouts at piquet, crib,
wild hog, pool and billiards, etc. The
Hooks and Knicks' engine house was a
scene OF convivlslity from noon on. All
the fremen OF the three companies re-
paired thither during the day by agree
ment to discuss vital questions over q good
cold lunch and kegs OF beer. In the even

Birthday to pass without celebrating it in

The Balloting In 1880 and 1876.

The Republican National Convention
OF 1880 met in Chicago on Wednesday,
June 2. 1t was not till the following
Monday that ballotting begun. Twsn.
ty- eight ballots were taken on that day
and eight on the next. The two
leading LANES before the Convention
were those of Grant and Blaine.
GRANTS vote was 3Oi on the first ballot;
it reached its minirium-302-on the
twenty-iifth, reached its maximum--3l3
on the thirty-tifth, and closed with
the famous 3O6 on the last ballot.
Blaine started with 284 votes and did
not get more Than 285 on any subse-
quent ballot. There was no serious
break in his column until next to the
Iast-thirty- rty-hfth--ballot. On the thir
ty-fourth his vote was 275. On that bal.
lot, Garfield, for whom not more than two
votes appeared on any preceding count,
showed II votes. On the thirty-tifth
ballot Gartield's vote had jumped up to
$50 and Blaine's had dropped down to
81. On the next and last ballot the
former had 399-37S being necessary to
a choce--and the latter AZ.
The Convention of 1876 met in Gin
clnnatl on Wednesday, June IA. The
balloting began and ended on the third
day, Friday. There were seven ballots.
The leading men at the start were
Blaine, Morton of Indiana, and Bris-
tow. On the first ballot Blaine
received 2s5, Morton l25, and Bristow
l13. Conkling had so and Hayes 81.
Blaine's steadily increased to 3O8 on
the sixth and 35l on the seventh ballot,
while Morton's and Conkling's steadily
fell off on every ballot. The break to
Hayes began on the fifth ballot, when
he got 1O4 votes, which were increased
to ll3 on the sixth and 384 on the
seventh ballot.
A coincidence in the above is that
Blaine's vote on the first ballot in 1876
was 285, the same az the highest vote in
1880, but in 1876 his vote ran up to 35l,
about what 1t is supposed it will be at
the present convention on the first bal
lot
