COunty's loss.
TAYLOR, White Pine Co., New,
Jan. 6, 1885.
EDITOR SENTINEL: As / promised in my
last, some more notes from our little
burg,I have to send the unpleasant with the
pleasant. The Monitor Mining Company
paid of all its miners on the Sd instant up
TO date, and laid all hands off, with the ex-
ception OF twelye-eleven in the mine and
one drill sharpener. As the mill is run
by water power, they had to shut it down
Tor the Winter season; 80 it throws some
men in our midst out of employment, who
are on the work if they could get it.. OF
course, in our camp as we'll as all other
mining camps, we have the barkeeper's
assistant, who is all the time looking for
work, and prays not to find it. The
wouid-be gambler is here also.
The Argus Mining C~ompany's mill and
mine is still running, the death Of Mr..
Aultman not affecting anything here,
although be was q half owner in the prop
erty. On account of the heavy discount
on silver the manager here was forced to
lower wages fifty cents per day-from 81
to 50 so, at the same TIM assuring his
men If silver went up and the mine
could afford it, he would put wages back
to its old standard Of 81.
The thief who stole Mr.. Ragsdsle's horse
from Robinson, l fear, has got out Of the
country with 1t. Everybody here is sorry,
rs Mr.. Ragsdale is blind. He must be q
good one to steal a blind mans horse.
l learned from parties who visited Silver
Park that the company who bonded the
mines from Mr.. Felix has failed to comply
with their agreement, or. in other words,
1t fell through. l also learned that Mr..
Felix is glad, as he has a better offer from
other parties. / am also told his mines
look first class, there being lots Of ore in
every drift and cut.
We learned by the last stage that our
Courthouse at Hamilton is burned down.
What White Pine county has TO show for
her $50, 900 debt now, we cannot imagine.
Perhaps we will now get our county seat
in a more central locality. Yours. etc.,
JACK,

SINGLE FLOWER AND LEAF.

The tree grows to the size of an ordinary
forest tree. 1t is found wild along the
southern Mississippi, but it is hardy. The
name, like the beautiful tree itself, is
one we had not TO borrow from Europe.
"Catalpa'' is the native name, given to the
tree by tie Indians of Carolina. In fall and
winter it is covered with shower of long
seed pods. From this it is sometimes called
the cigar tree.
1t may be propagated either by seed or
cuttings. Not only is it such handsome
tree but it is of use beside. The timber
makes a choice wood for cabinet work and
other purposes. 1t is Of a very fine texture,
and takes a brilliant polish. Whether it will
grow satisfactorily in the far northwest,
however, we believe has never yet been
entirely settled The experiment should be
tried.
Another fine ornamental tree is the Turkish
horse chestnut. 1t Is a handsome grower,
blossoms in much the same way as the
catalpa, but, unlike that, the wood has no
special value.

Facts OF Interest.

The Medical Journal states that q few
handfuls Of common salt thrown daily into
closets, and an occasional handful into wash
basins goes far toward counteracting tho
noxious effects Of the omnipresent sewer gas.
Few people are aware that, when they find
Q wall paper that suits them precisely, by
having 1t properly varnishei they can render
1t almost time proof 1t can be washed
when it becomes dingy, and it will last for
many years.
The White Cross army In an association
for promoting moral purity among men. In
an address delivered at one of its meetings
DIR. De Costa laid stress on the fact that
most people eat too much. From that they
are led ON to drink too much in order to
stimulate them to bear the heavy load Of in
digestible food Gluttony leads to drunken
ness and tnencs to all other sins and vices.
The terrible sickness which devastated
Plymouth, Pa, has been finally decided to
be typhoid fever. Plymouth was only q
little country place, yet there were nearly
LOCO cases Of the fever A frightful per-
centage of those attacked died. The town is
destitute, and the public has been largely
drawn on for its support during the epidemic
And the origin Of all this misery Is directly
traceable to filth, cesspools, and want OF
drainage.
An entomolog.st has reported having found
724 species Of noxious insects In the trees,
shrubs and plants of the New York parks
last year. These include the cotton worm Of
the south, the wood borers Of the west, the
sugar cane beetle, many species unknown to
the entomologist, and some entirely new
species Tbs most destructive insects to the
trees are the bag worm, the tent and web
caterpllars, the scale insect the coccus and
the elm beetle. OF these insects seven bushels
Of cocoons and egg moses were removed.

A Powder Ball.

A so-called 'bal poudre" lately took place
in the town hall in Brighton. All the guests
appeared with powdered hair, the gentlemen
In the usual evening dress, only with white
waistcoats and a white flower In their but
tonholes The hostess. Ms. Cooper, wore
black velvet with old lace and d.amonds, her
daughter white satin dress embroidered
with beads, the waist fastened with old
fashioned clasps, Among the dresses a nut
brown velvet costume with amber colored
satin tablier and black Chantilly lace excited
very great admiration. The :abiier wes
folded in squares, with bouquets Of
buttercup intervening, where the lines
crossed, IL ended with large pun
round the bottom. The bodice and
train were 10th made Of velvet, trimmed
with splendid lace, and garland Of butter
cups went across the bosom Another
charming toilet consisted Of a sapphire blue
satin skirt, deusely embroidered with real
amber beads, a tunic and waist of net inter
woven with gold threads, and a blue velvet
train. To this, turquoise ornaments and
white feathers in the hair. A dark blue
tulle costume with plush side breadth, which,
like the waist, was covered with blush steel
heads, YVES very original. A white tulle
toilette with large silver butterflies as trim
mings was greatly admired. White was
again the predominant color among the
dresses worn by the young ladies.

This valuable edible Is not grown to the
extent 1t ought to be. The southern method
Of culture Is usually considered the best. It
IL described as follows In The Southern Cul-
hvator and Dixie Farmer:
II have made no failure In the last ten
years in getting q good crop. Dry, sandy
soil, with clay or graveiy subsoil. Break 8
to 10 inches during winter. Use the follow
ing compost: $50 cart loads woods mold or
fence scrapings, 15 bushels cotton seed, 800
pounds Carolina phosphate, and 200 pounds
kainit. Lay of rows 81 feet wide put CON-
post in the drill and run q small plow
through compost in the drill, mixing It and
the soil well. Ridge with a good turning
plow three or four burrows to the row, drag
with light drag and plant on fresh made
row; plant as early In the season ns possible,
the sooner the better; place plants 90 inches
apart In the drill. Cultivate twice with cot
ton plow. Clean out all grass and weeds,
and hill up when vines reach the bottom Of
the ridge Several times / have reached 400
bushels per acre, and made no failure. The
quantity of compost above Ia for one acre"
In the north, at least In many parts, IL Is
now about the time for setting out the sweet
potato plants. Later In the season, when
they root at the joints, hoe handle should
be run under the vines to tear them loose.
Tho Nansemond Is recommended as the best
variety.

Superb Trimming.

A handsome dress of black satin rhadams
was lately trimmed in way that attracted
general admiration. The trimming was
woven fabric Of mingled jet and steel. The
steel was not Of the old-fashioned. glittering
polished kind, but rather Of the dull shade
known as steel blue. It was woven into
lcose-mashed network Of large beads. Upon
tie network were large drops Of brilliant jet
beads. The trimming was about two and
half inches wide. 1t formed cuffs and TRIM
ming down the front Of the basque, was laid
down the whole edge Of the long overskirt at
the SIDE and made dashes of brightness here
and there upon the drapery. Every time
the lady moved this superb trimming twin
kled light moonlight upon the water. Being
Of the dull blue rather than the polished
knife and fork steel, it was not painful to
the eyes, but was simply brilliant without
being binding.

BARNUM'S PRIZE BABY.
The Winner OF 500 and q Gold Badge
Turns Up Unexpectedly.


London TRUTH
The real name Of Perugini the tenor IL
Chatterton. He proves Wordsworth's say
ing that the child is the father Of the man.
He is, in a plastic sense, a mas culine beauty,
and at the age of years and months won
first prizs at Barnum's baby show 1t was
awarded him by jury OF twelve ladies' who
all kissed and caressei him He retains
vivid recollection Of the ordeal The prize
was 800 and gold badge.
When Barnum sailed last for Europe Per-
ugini was in the same steamer. Meeting
him on deck, the famous Snowman put his
hands in his pockets, planted himself firmly
on his feet, stared at the tenor, and said:
"Well / guess this amt the first time I've
met your "No, Mr.. Barnum, it is not ]
am curious to see il you can remember
where the meeting was" Mr.. Barnum
thought and thought. "Perugini Peru
gini," he cogitated II have ssen the name
in operate advertisement, but can not as
sociate ii with the face, which somehow
know well. Are you an Italianr NO"
"Well, then what were you called origin
allyi" "Chatterton." That's it! You're
the prize baby" YES, Mr.. Barnum, 1t is
to you owe my earliest success" $50 it is;
and I'm proud to hear you acknowledge 1t.
few days later an attempt was made to
get up concert on board Barnum came
to ask Perugni TO be tenor vocalist The
singer, who was not well, needed to be
pressed. Said Barnum: 'If you don't shake
off that cold and sing. I'll tell how you were
the hero of the baby exhibition" "For
Heavens sake don't Keep silent about it,
and you shall have the song. But you must
be my sponsor" Barnum, therefore, on the
-
place set apart for the singers leading the
handsome young tenor, anu said: Ladies
and gentleman: Allow me to present to you
Sig. Perugini, whose first appearance in pub
lie took place under my auspices, under
what circum ,tances you need not ask, for /
don't mean to tell you" Barnum told Peru
gini that he was the liquid eyed Juvenile he
remembers him, plus a inustache. He has
just the face and figure Of the "beau jeune
premier" and voice sweet enough to melt
the hearts Of obdurape coquettes.

Remarkable Mechanical Accuracy.
New York gan

An interesting comparison in the mechan-
ical work of past and present times is pre-
sented In the claim made by James Watt,
namely, that he had attained remarkable
accuracy in boring cylinder Of steam en-
gine and fitting its piston 90 closely that
@the thickness Of q half crown could not be
introduced between them," and the fact
that standard gauges ara now made that
show errors Of 1-lOO. 200 OF an inch, and
work Is positively exactly to $50. 600 of an
inch.
Such accurats work Il not, however,
generally necessary, except in the construc-
tion OF gauges, the standard gauges being
the means provided for keeping or produc-
ing within proper, useful and practicable
bounds thousands Of pieces of the same sizs
and shape, In which oftentimes certain
amount Of variation is allowed, both plus
and minus. A certain amount Of looseness
Is to be allowed, for in.tancc. in the it OF
journals and bearings, toe amount to be
determined accorl ng to the length and siss
OF the journal: hut this variation Is to bs

MALE FLY.

Both sexes have perfect wings, and the
males are nearly as numerous as the females.
The difference in shape appears in the pic
Eure. The female has a small, roundish
light-colored spot just back Of the eyes,
which Is either obscure or wanting in the
male. The fly has eleven joints. The at
tackled wheat stem does not swell-only
solidifes.
Farmers will want to be on the lookout for
this new pest Its learned name Is isosoma
uigrum, or black isosoma. The good done
by "book farming" and agricultural colleges
will ut length begin to dawn upon the most
benighted old hunks of ruralist when the
results of such work as this done by Prof.
Cook begin to soak into his skull The pro-
fessor's suggestions for getting rid Of the pest
are as follows:
As the insects are In the straw from The
date Of cutting till the following May, It
becomes very apparent that by cutting tho
wheat high, In which case nearly all the In
sects viii remain in the stubble, and then
burning the latter all these will be de-
stroyed In case there Is much green vege-
tation, 1t would be better to cut the stubble
low before burning. II short pieces Of the
straw are found in the grain, these should
be cleaned out and burned. From expert
ments made in the laboratory, by burying
the straws In sand, and the insects still COM
ing out, doubt II plowing under will prove
q very thorough remedy. As these have
good, fully-developed wings. rotation of
crops would not serve as well to protect
against this insect

DRESS OF EMBROIDERED cHAMBERY.

Accordingly we present them with a very
pretty pattern for an embroider cham
berry gown The robe comes in patterns, in
all the popular colors. The patterns have
four and a half yards of embroidery with
edging to match. The skirt is finished on
the bottom with narrow, plated rufile,
and three rows of the wide fiouncing are
gathered upon the right side o. the skirt
below a pulled section of the overskirt.
The ample back drapery is looped upon the
back Of the basque in imitation of polon-
aise, and the long tunic front is trimmed
with revers Of the founcing The jacket
is trimmed, as shown in the plate, with the
embroidered edging, with standing collar
and cuffs en- suite.
A straw hat IS trimmed to match the
dress. The parasol is of the same color.
Hats and parasols very generally match the
color Of the costume this summer Many
have parasol and a hat to go with each
costume.

A Strawberry Pest.

Growers Of Strawberries are considerably
agitated over the depredations Of a weevil,
which has brought destruction to thousands
Of the vines on large farms. Prof. Riley,
the entomologist Of the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, will visit Staten Island
expressly to study the habits of the new pest,
and then try and suggest means for its sup
preston. The strawberry weevil, as it Is
called, threatens to put a stop to strawberry
growing near New York unless speedily sup
pressed. 1t first appeared last year on Staten
Island. 1t punctures the flower stem, and
prevents the vine from fruiting. Later In
the season the weevil destroys the entire
plant. The insect buries itself near the root
and next year myriads Of its progeny ap-
pear. It has migrated across the Staten
Island sound and appeared In New Jersey,
promising to destroy valuable acres of straw
berry plants there. No one yet knows its cor
rect name or its habits.
