THE O OF rs.

An inquiry from Chss. W. Hyer ana
other old Eurekans at Elko. regarding the
date OF the last food in Eureka hss
| broueht before the mind Of the SENTINEL
historian q tide Of interesting "reminiscences
II Is the opinion Of Mr.. Hyer and his
friends that the last big flood occurred In
| Aneus,. ~, but by reference 10 the
| sxSrrsrL files we find they are mistaken;
that the food occurred during Augustl5th
and 10th OF '78, four years after the dis
sstrous food ., which fourteen lives were
los, and 9 quarter OF . million dollars
worth Of property was destroyed. The
floods Of '7S exceeded those Of IA In vol
ume OF water, but no lives we're lost. In
looking over she accounts Of the last floods,
the names are OF old timers, but very few
OF whom are LETT. "Some have gone to
lands far distant, and with strangers
made their homes; there are still some
few remaining who remind us oil the past"
Mos, Of them, however. have crossed into
the land OF silence.
The Richmond whistles announced the
appearance Of the torrent OF water 81
about $3.50 O'Clock Thursday evening.
August Is, '78. after four hours heavy
downpour Of rain. The widest excitement
ensued; men, women and children FASTENED
70 the high ground. taking with them
such small valuables as they could readily
grasp. The main current came down
Pinto Canyon and was swelled BY the
streams from the canyons Of old Prospect
Mountain, and by the time IL reached the
head Of Main street, had assumed huge
Dimensions and swept with Irresistible
force ell that came in the way.
Lamoureaux's blacksmith shop and
Stewards stable we're gone 10 q moment,
and hay. wagons, timber and debris were
soon hurting and tumbling in the seethipg
waters In their wild rush down Eureka's
streets.
The incidents OF this days food are
memorable. Men were rescued from
floating logs, sides Of houses and clinging
70 trunks. all bouncing along on the
waves amidst the widest confusion.
All the business houses on Main street
were flooded, and the total damage was
estimated a. about s63, 000. The damage
being done principally to goods stored in
cellars. Charles Lautenschlager, j. Van
derlieth, Haskell & Co., Mrs. Ashim,
Max Oberielder, Joe Harmon, Bonetti d
| Co., the San Francisco Brewery, Ennis
f''the Little Store around the Corner"),
Nose Adler, Lockwood & Remington,
Colerick. Goldstone & Berg, and Gilmer
& Salisbury were all losers above q thou
sand dollars and ranging up 10 $1,000
The SENTINEL Office also suffered, the job
office floor being covered with at least .
foot OF mud.
The next day three more floods came
tumbling down the canyon, causing con-
~sternstion, but did no further damage
beyond filling up cellars again that had
been cleaned ont partly since the day
before.

bis home in Ssusslito. Cal, Feb. 23, after
q brief illness. He was q native Of County
Glare, Ireland. where he was born about
fifty years ago. The following will give
an idea Of his pleasant style In the walks
Of poesv:
II sweethesrts we're sweethearts always,
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half SO pleasant
In the mingled draught Of life.
But the sweetheart has smiles aud bushes
When the wife has frowDs and signs,
And the wives have q wrathful glitter
For the glow Of the s~weetheart's eyes.
II lovers were lovers always,
The same 10 sweetheart and wife,
Who would change for q future Of Eden
The joys Of this oheokered life7
But husbands grow grave and silent,
And cares ON the anxious brow
Oft replace the sunshine that perished
At the words Of the marriage vow.
Happy is he.whose sweetheart
IL wife and sweetheart still
Whose voice, as Of old, can charm
Whose kiss, as of old, can thrill;
Who has plucked the rose. TO find ever
It's beauty and fragrance increase.
As the flush Of passion is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace
Who sees in the step Q lightness
Who finds in the form . grace;
Who reads an unsltered brightness
In the witchery Of the face.
Undimmed and unchanged. All happy
Is he, crowned with such Q life.
Who drinks the wife, pledging the sweet
heart.
And toasts in the sweetheart the wife.
