The Castanets.

Away with dreams!
The round moon beams,
And the white pond lilies greet its CLEANS;
While the Gypsy frets with her castanets,
And laughs at her lovers passionate threats.
List hush be still
Yon moss-fringed rill
Does with el6n boat song thrill.
The Gypsy sways and her little hand plays;
While her starlit glances the lover craze.
A whisper soft
Sweeps grove and croft,
And the night winds wave a kiss aloft,
AS in dancing wiles the Gypsy smiles,
And the lovers frown her sweet voice beguiles.

Her forehead is narrow and high. Her eyes are

Cleveland is especially anxious to receive the
ladies who come to her house upon social and
not political basis. She has refused to join in
with the ruptures of some of. the Democratic
ladies over the triumph of the Democratic
party and that has given rise to- the story that
she is a Republican in sympathies. Yet, if
Republican ladies were to go to her to ask
her to condole with them over the defeat of
their party, they would meet with as little SYM
pathy. Miss Cleveland has said or done nothing
since her arrival here to warrant any story
about her political faith. She very much ad

White House by ignoring the subject of politics

our arrangements with one of the largest
wholesale houses in the world, to con-
stantly secure for us the best Of bargains
and the first selection Of new goods in
every instance.
Third-Ws propose adding a small liv-
ing profit TO every article we sell. WE

ton we will come out ahead. We

ticle in plain figures, 80 that every

sauarely treated, and served good goods at
low prices. BY SPECIAL FAVOR we
have been given inducements by O'Connor,

Of obtaining goods from their house.

The winnemucca Silver State says that
Mr.. Williams arrived in town Thursday

A Description Of Jesus Christ.

The following beautiful description Of
the person Of Jesus Christ was found in an
ancient manuscript, sent by Publius
Lentulus, President of Judes, TO the SEN
ate OF Rome:
There lives at this time in Judea q
man OF singular character, whose name Is
Jesus Christ. The barbarians esteem him
q prophet, but his followers adore him az
the immediate offspring Of the immortal
God. He is endowed with such unparal-
leled virtue as to call back the dead from
their graves, and to heal every kind Of
disease with q word or touch. His person
is tall and elegantly shaped, his aspect
aimable, reverend. His hair flows in those
beautiful shades which no united colors
can match, falling into graceful curls
before his ears and sgreeably COUGHING on
his shoulders. and parting on the top Of
his head like the head dress OF the sect OF
the Nszsrines. His forehead il large and
smooth; his cheeks without spot,
save that OF q lovely red; his
uose and mouth are formed with
exquisite symmetry; his beard is thick
aud suited TO the hair Of his head, reach
ing q little below his chin and parting in
the middle like q fork; his eyes are bright
clear and serene. He rebukes with ma
esty, counsels with mildness, invites with
the mos, tender and persuasive language
his whole address, whether in word or
deed, being elegant, grave. and character
istie Of so exalted 8 being. No man has
seen him laugh. but the whole world b.
holds him weep frequently, and SO persua-
Eiye are his tears that the multitude can
not withhold their tears from joining in
sympathy with him. He is very temper
ate, modest and wise. In short. whatever
this phenomenon may surn out in the
end, he seems a man. for excellent beauty
and Projections, every way surpsssing the
| children Of men,"

ners insists That Dur Leg
fslature should Amend the Law,
so as 90 Purify the Ballot.
EDITOR SENTINEL: / find that the Judi
cary Committee of our State Senate have
reported unfsvorably on the proposed
amendment TO our election law, a notice Of
which appeared in the SENTINEL several
days ago. More could not we'll be ex-
pected when a part, at least, Of the
composition Of that committee is con-
sidered. The reasons for the unfa-
vorable report have not been given,
but it is reasonable to presume that
the evident fact of the passage of some
such measure being likely to work badly,
as far as the reelection or the future poll
ticsl aspirations Of one certain member OF
that committee are concerned, was the first
and preponderating cause of the unfavora-
BILE report. We shall see by and by
whether or not q substitute shall be pro-
posed.
That something is necessary to be done
TO put q stop to as gross an abuse az ever
the freedom and purity Of the ballot was
subject to, is the opinion and desire of
every citizen worthy the name. In the
meantime l would fain draw the attention
OF some member Of the Legislature to an
act introduced in the present Assembly Of
California, bearing on the same sub
ject. 1t is, in substance, that a cur
tanned ~psssageway be constructed in
front and adjoining the polling booth
OF every voting precinct having on its
register over 100 voter; that but one voter
shall pass through said ~passsgewsy at a
time; that within the Enclosure q table be
placed with the various electoral tickets
upon it.
This arrangement would afford an oppor-
tunity to the voter Of selecting and de-
posting his ballot without being seen and
Swallowed" by the herders," and even
should he have accepted q "considera-
ton" or q present" he would have an
opportunity of voting for the men of his
choice without fear Of Interior conse-
quences, in the way Of q discharge from q
mine, q furnace or q store.
Il is to be hoped that some such a
measure as the foregoing will be incor-
porated into our election law by our Legis-
ture this Winter, and / respectfully call
the attention Of Messrs. Thoma, Godfrey,
Smith and Fasset to the necessity for it.
