Strange Phenomena In California.

The people Of San Francisco, Sacramen
to, and the country generally, are much
puzzled by disappearance of a phenomenon
mia. Long after sunset of the 18th, and on
the early morning of the 18th ultimo, a
brilliant orange-red light llumined the
west, warming up the whole canopy of hea-
ven. Long after sunset the latter exhibi.
ton was witnessed, which was the cause of
the notice it acquired. So vivid was it in
Sacramento on the early morning Of the
18th, that the fire-bells were rung, and the
companies turned out, imagining that some
terrible confagration was raging in the out
skirts of the city. Some suggest that new
sun has started to warm us; others that we
are entangled in the luminous tail of some
comet;- some, again, talk of '.Northers
lights" Oregonians consider that it in
caused by the great fire now raging over
large tracts of their country. The .'Web-
Feet, /. c., the Oregonians, may be right;
all can say is that it must indeed be big
confiagration to affect us six hundred miles
distant. Tho tharmomoter stood 81 9 in
Sacramento the day preceding the prin ci-
pal exhibition; during its continuance in
the evening it stood at 7So.
Some fear that it has some unknown con-
nection with coming earthquakes. That it
is caused by some unusual condition of the
atmosphere is plain, but believe still that
old Sol in ut the bottom Of it, and that it is
his light that we arc bothering ourselves
about all tho time.

A Biz Nugget.
From tho San Francisco Bulletin, Aug. 81.

A. I. Parrish & Co. received this morn
ing, from Downierville, nugget Of gold
weighing one hundred and six pounds, be-
ing almost, if not quite, the largest ever
taken in this state, and within a few
pounds tho largest ever found in the modern
gold mining. The value is about S25, ,OOO
In the same find 3G7 65.1OO ounces were ob-
tanned in smaller nuggets from twenty-five
to seventy-tive ounces each; also one cake
of fine gold, retorted, weighing 1,18OA
ounces All these are now in MIR. Farrish's
hands. This extraordinary pile, $50, 900,
was obtained in one day by two men, from
tho Monumental Quartz Mino in Sierra
Bnttes, Sierra county, owned by w. A.
Parrish and others. William Farrish
writes that i'll two days ho would send as
much moro. The vein varies from ono to
three feet, and is filled with tlecomposed
quartz. Tho gold is obtained by sluicing,
using quicksilver to catch the fine par
ticles The tailings only go through All
arastm. The Sierra Buttcs and the Inde-
pendence Mine ore located on tho samo
mountain. 1t is only some two months
since Messrs. Parrish commenced work on
this mine and they have got in few feet
A week ago they sent down $1,000 rs tho
result Of two mems labor for eight or nino

rho Philadelphia Robbery-Forty Thou,
..'a'-t sand Dollars StDlen., -.
! From the North American, August 80.

Just as lightning sometimes strikes in
unexpected places, so did burglars make a
demonstration last Friday night. The op-
orator, must have been something OF an
artist in his line, but the opportunity pre-
sehted to him for the execution of.his profit
able task Was all that a Jack Sheppard could
have; desired, Is. As every Phihdelphian
knows, tho old Court Of Quarter Sessions
room adjoinS the Office Of Receiver Of Taxes.
OF late this building has often been opened
at nights. "A swarm Of bootblacks and other
itinerating urchins took possession of it ut
nights as place of lodging. On Friday it Was
filled as usual. Ehe boys say that at about
nIneOsclocl two men entered the place,
drove them oil out of it and proceeded at
once to secure the doors. The youngsters,
awed by this show of authority, lost no
time in putting between themselves and
the building in question n very considera-
ble distance. The parties ejecting them
were undoubtedly tho authors Of what
proved to be heavy robbery of funds in
the Tax Receivers safe. The thieves found
no difficulty in getting into the partioning
entry, and thence by side door opening
squarely into the Office of the Receiver. =
This accomplished, ,aud the lights SO shaded
that from the street their operations would
not be observed, the burglars cut away the
masonry from The big safe and threw back
tie bolts of it's doors, with what evidently
very much taxed their ingenuity or their
strength. They first collected all the Of
flee coats and busters belonging to the
clerks that were hanging around the room
and used them as means to deaden any
sound likely to betray them to passers-by.
The thieves then went to work on the iron
door of the vault with crowbars, two sof
which they left behind them. The bricks
along side of the iron keeper Of tho door
were forced out. and the bolt of the lock
broken. This afforded eI trance 10 the vault
containing the iron chest IN which were the
money, receipts of that day, A panel in
the door was cut out, but the hole not being
sufficiently large to admit the passage OF
the tin boxes containing the money, the
lock was smashed in, and then it was an
easy thing to abstract the f1nds.
This part of the wsrk must
have been done hurriediy,: as a number of
the checks and quantity Of the money
was on Saturday found lying around the
floor.
The plunder included SIS, 900 in cash and
between $4,000 and $25, 5000 in checks.
The safe was recently built for tho Office,
and was believed to be burgular proof.

"TWENTY YEARS."

Beg your pardon, old fellow. I think
I was dreaming just now, when you spoke;
Tho fact is, the musical clnk
or tho ice on your winc.goblct's brink
A chord OF my memory woke.
Aud stood in the pasture field, Where
Twenty summers ago had stood;
And heard III that sound, declare,
The clinkiny of balls ON the air
or the COWS coming home from the WOOL.
Then tho applr-blossonls shook on tho hill:
And the mullen stalks tined each lance; -.
Aud tho sun behind Rapalvc'smll
Was my uttcrmost west, and could thrill
Like the ultima thnlC OF romance.
Then my friend was hero, and then
My girl was an angel. III fine,

On the bottle whose seal You last broke. .

Discoveries In Rome.

An undertaking highly interesting to
archaeologists is about to be commenced
with the sanction of His Holiness, being
the clearance of the ancient monumental
facade of the Marcian Aqueduct from the
medieval Notifications and superstructures
of the Porta San Lorenzo.
\ The present Pope's predecessor, Gregory
XVI, authorized a similar operation at the
Porta Maggiorie, which resulted in the ex-
trication Of the magnificent facade and in
scriptions Of the Claudian Aqueduct from
rude towers and buttresses hastily thrown
up in remote and troublous times, and the
revelation of an interesting Roman tomb
under the rubbish, erected to tho memory
of the wealthy baker, Vergilius Euryaces,
and his wife-a monument decorated with
portrait statuesand bassi-relievi illustrative
of the occupation of the defunct.
Pho Mono is delighted at the continued
success Of the excavations at the Empori-
um. The marbles already extracted from
that ancient wharf are valued at 1000, 900
francs; and as Baron Visconi predicts that
the depot will be found to extend down the
left bank of the Tiber, from the Aventine
to the Church of st. Paul extra n,,lros, the
supply may be considered as almost mex
haustible. Last week sixteen great masses
were got out, one being of rose-colored orr
entail alabaster Of groat valuo, another Of
pavonazzetto, and several of gallo antico.
The Emporium has supplied everything
that the restoration of Agrippas Pantheon
required, and tho same materials are
being employed in the restoration and om-
bellishment of twenty-one churches in
Rome. The Pope has also sent presents OF
marble to various churches in different
parts Of Europe, and has promised Arch
bishop Manning an assortment of the most
precious kinds for the enrichment of the
future Roman Catholic Cathedral of Lon
don. The Prussian government has re-
turned thanks for the munifcence of His
Holiness gift to the Cathedral of Aix-la-
Chapelle. Switzerland will not be forgotten
in the dispensation of these long-hidden
treasures. Only two columns Of African mar
bic of size and Importance were hitherto
visible in Rome, at the entry of the portico
Of St. Petor's. Tho Emporium has fur
nished fifteen others, of which the largest
has been destined to be tho commemora-
tive. monument of tho Council on the Janic-
ulum. Thirteen pieces of tho precious
for which tho ancient Romans
paid fabulous prices, have also been discov-
cred. The Belvedere court yard in the
Vatican is now the principal depot of these
marble treasures, which are arranged there
under the Pope's Immediate inspection.
Last week his Holiness witnessed the arri-
val of an enormous block of African dragged
from the Tiber bank to his palace by twell-
ty shaggy black buffaloes.
