A RARE SIGHT.-The magnificent planet
Jupiter is now rapidly approaching that po-
sition in relation to the Earth and Sun, in
which it presents its finest aspect to US
Being one of the superior planets, which re-
volye in orbits exterior to the Earth, it is of
course nearer the earth in opposition than in
conjunction by the distance across the
Earth's orbit, viz: two hundred millions of
miles. Beside this, it shines all nigh,, ris-
ing about sunset, and blotted out by the
dawn while yet several degrees from its set
ting. Jupiter now shines with brightness
unequalled among the stars, except by Ve-
nus when near her inferior conjunction This
may be owing not merely to the superior
size of his disc, but also to the high reflect
ing power of his surface. At seven o'clock
in the evening, he will be seen in the East
about fifteen to twenty degrees above the
horizon. Being, save only the Moon, the
largest object in the heavens, no one can
mistake him. Jupiter is about fourteen
hundred times as large as the Earth, and her
distance is from four hundred million to six
hundred million miles, according to, the po-
sition which these planets may have in their
respective orbits.

THE OH FEvER.-They are having what is
called the oil fever in western Pennsylvania,
and the search for mineral oil is pursued
with nearly as much excitement as the search
for gold at Pixies Peak Crawford county
supposes itself to be situated over a vast
subterranean reservoir of petroleum, or rock
oil, which will be a source of unbounded
wealth for generations to come Locations
where the oil shows in the wells are selling
at great prices, and people are boring and
pumping for oil in all directions. In some
places, if accounts may be trusted the en-
terprise pays we'll Near Titusville great
reservoir of this oil has been tapped, and in
another place oil is raised from well by a
hand pump at the rate of fifteen gallons per
hour

THE CENTRAL RAILRoAD.-We condepse the
following from the Grass Valley National:
The California Central Railroad is de-
signed to connect Folsom with Marysville,
and is now graded to within one and a half
miles of Lincoln, point upon Auburn Ra-
vine twenty miles from Marysville, fourteen
miles from Auburn, and thirty-one' miles
from Grass Valley. The road to reach Lin
cola, swerves some two miles from its or
iginal survey, and taking a direct line from
that place to Marysyiile, crosses Bear River
some four or Eve miles below Johnsen's.-
Hands are now busily employed in laying
the track from Folsom, and it is confidently
expected that early in March the cars will
be running to Lincoln, and the road thrown
open for trade by the lst of April The
building of this road is due to the untiring
energy, perseverance and peculiar railroad
talent of Col. c. A. Wilson, the Pioneer pro
jector of railroads 10 California; and the
stock, with the exception of some $4,000,
owned in Marysville, belongs exclusively to
him. To extend this road towards Nevada,
a company has been formed by Col Judah,
the we'll known civil engineer, E. Mclean,
]. L. Trask and others, of San Francisco,
under the title of the "California Eastern
Extension Railroad Company" They are
now, with over two miles of the road al
ready graded, quietly pushing it forward
with some fifty hands; and simultaneously
with the opening of the California Central
road they will also open this road to point
at or near Gold Hill-thus bringing Grass
Valley, by the lst of April, to within twen-
ty-four miles of railroad connection with
Sacramento.

THE GREAT EAsTEKN.-The London Times
pronounces this mammoth steamship to be
a stupendous failure. Her immense size
excludes her from almost every important
port in the world: the celebrated harbor of
Sidney would be unable to receive her, and
she would not be able to approach Calcutta,
to say nothing of New York, Boston or other
great American ports, or her inability to
enter the St. Lawrence The utmost speed
which she can realize under full steam and
such breeze as would permit her fore and
aft sails to be set, cannot exceed Isl knots
while her average speed, allowing for an or
binary rate of head and fair winds, will not
exceed ten miles an hour. Her consumption
of coal is three hundred tons per day. and
the long voyage to Australia cannot be made
without stopping for fuel, while in case OF
disaster, there are few places in the world
capable of affording her suitable shelter to
refit; added to all of which her daily ex-
penses, whether idle or employed, are enor-
nous.
If the conclusion of the Times be correct,
the world will have to lament the failure Of
magnificent experiment. Some small souls
on this side of the water may exuIt, instead
of lamenting. Success is their God, anG
they should not, perhaps, be blamed for es-
fering to it the cheap tribute of derisive
laughter.

INTERESTING TO LADEEs.-Husbands have
always exacted the inauisftive and indelicate
privilege of opening and suspiciously per-
using letters directed to their wives. We
have long hoped to Know thet some one in
authority, some judge or postmaster largely
imbued with a truly noble appreciation of
the rights of women, would decide that a
husband cannot, in the light of enlightea-
ment, vindicate his desire to insist upon
knowing who his wife is writing to, who is
writing to his wife, what is written to his
wife and what his wife writes. Our expec-
tation is realized-brilliantly realized. The
glorious duty was allotted to Holt, Postmas-
ter General of the United States Of America.
Holt is greater than major general-he is
q gentleman, and ION the female side, related
to all the live beauty of the nation This
good and loveable man says that if a wife
does not wish her husband to take her let
ters out of the post office, it will be abhor-
rent to law and insulting to the christian
civilization of the age, for the husband to
demand the delivery to him of such letters.

The SOCIETY ISLANDS AND THEIR ORANGE
TRADE.-Since the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia, large trade in oranges has sprung
up between that country and the Society Is
lands, where this delicious fruit grows in
great profusion. Most of the oranges come
from three islands of the group-Tahiti
(where the French have garrson,) Hua-
hina and Roeta. About FIVE million oranges
are annually exported, for which about seven
dollars and half per thousand is paid, de-
livered on board ship. The trade is in the
hands of few foreign merchants at Papute,
in Tahiti, who take foreign goods in exchange
for fruit, which is gathered and brought to
them by the natives. The oranges are passed
down from the trees by youngsters, and
gathered by women into baskets made of the
leaves of the cocoanut tree, and taken thence
to the place at which the vessel is lying to
receive them. There they are placed in
long thatched house, and when collected in
sufficient numbers, are wrapped in leaves by
the women. A smart woman will wrap
1000 oranges day by which she can earn
about eighty cents. The fruit grows luxur-
iantly in every direction, in valleys and ra-
vines which run from the seaside up the
steep mountains. The oranges grow wild,
but the trees are claimed in districts by diff
fersnt natives, through hereditary descent.
Before the California trade gave a special
value to the fruit, it was free as water and
almost as common. The natives formerly
made an intoxicating liquor, called orange
rum,- fron, it, but this practice is now given
up. Fhe orange season commences in Feb
ruary and ends in September, during which
time the trees may be seen at once in the
various stages of blossoming, green and
half yellow, and ripe fruit. In the spring
time the fruit is picked green; in the summer
half yellow, and in the fall ripe, those being
the conditions in which they are found by
experience to keep best for exportation.-
california consumes nearly the whole crop
of fruit.

CRINoLINE ON SHfpBoARD.-Bayard Taylor
