ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY.

VT understand that Professor David
sou has determined upon Pollard's
Peak, Summit Station, rs the proper
place for the National Observatory.
This peak Is located less than q half
mile from Summit Station, which Is
7,OI2 feet above the sea level. and the
highest point Of the Central Pacific
Railroad. Castle Peak, seven miles
from the Summit, was examined by
Professor Davidson with the view Of
making 1t the place for tho observa-
tory, but the atmosphere from that
peak wa, found to be too hazy. and the
mountain Itself too difficult Of access
to make it a desirable place for astro-
nomical, barometical and atmosphere
cal observations. Castle Peak as'the
advantage In altitude, as 1t Is 9,764
feet above the sea level, 1904 feet
higher than Pollard's Peak. The Int.
ter, however. Is easily accessible. being
less than halfa mile from the railroad,
and the atmosphere from It's summit 10
remarkably clear, and for this latter
reason it has been selected by Pro-
fessor Davidson. An appropriation OF
$50, 900 has been made BY Congress for
the erection Of the necessary buildings,
purchase Of telescope and other neces-
sary instruments. The telescope to be
used will be the second In size OF any
in the United States. Once estab-
lished. the observatory will be n per-
nanent feature, and will receive an
annual appropriation from Congress Of
from 5000 to $50, 000.-Truckee Re

ROUGH ON JONES.

The Virginia Chronicle Of last even
ing contains a leading editorial enti.
tied Political Headquarters" which
is rather significant. Here It Is:
San Francisco has become the head
quarters OF all the moneyed rings and
monopo!ies Of every character OH the
coast. There the Pacific Railroad
King, Governor Stanford, has his Of
flee ; there Ben Holiday puts up his
Oregon jobs; there the Comstock aud
nearly all other mines are manipu-
lated, and there their officers reside ;
and It Is there that political power CEN
ters and the politics Of; the several
Pacific States are manipulated. for mod
cru politicians first consult the rings
and then lead the people. 1t was
there that Sharon's withdrawal wa
liked up; aud 1t Is under the eye OF
these money kings that nearly every
aspiring politician of thi, State has
sought political points aud p%referment
within a month past. Jones. Nye,
Stewart. Thornton, Fall, Mitchell,
have all recently been or are now at
political headquarters. There Il some
thing wrong about this matter. In
the purerSlays Of the Republic, asPir-
ants for Office sought their constitu-
cnts and mingled with them In order
t. ascertain their views OIL all the lead
ing questions likely to COME before the
legislative bodies to which they were
seeking election. Now they keep
away from the people-seek the rings
and the money kings to ascertain Geir
views, and to secure, As all-importaiit
their support. From these they re-
turn to the people, reekinS with cor
ruption and brinfull Of deception, to
tell them what Is best for the peoples
interests. This state Of affairs ought
to be changed. anu the mass OF the
voting and taxpaying population, who
suffer most by these conclusions, Z
gains and sales. have 1t in their power
to change 1t. II 1t Is necessary for .
politician to hob.nob witli'the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, and with
the Bank Of Cslifornis. before ventur-
ing among his constituents to give his
views Oh the living issues Involved In
\ campaign, 1t Is just as essential That
he should remain at home, for his
election will work no good for the peo-
pie.
This is rather severe on Jones, who
has been so busy attending to the AZ
fairs OF the powerful ring Of which he
Is member. trying to gobole up the
Gould & Curry and other mines that
he has staid away from this State and
painfully anxious constituents three or
four months, and is likely to stay a
few months longer. Sharon has been
here attending to his extensive inter
ests. circulating freely among his fel-
low citizens. addressing his constituents
and making himself at home generally.
| So slso have all the other Senatorial
candidates except Jones. As Jones 10
| the only one who has absented himself
entirely, the Chronicles artiole evil
IDENTIFY has special reference to Jones.
Will Jones' chief organ grinder In
the morning paper ut Virginia pitch
into him next?

SAD ACCIDENT.

Yesterday afternoon, says the Sacra-

i've years old, son Of Robert Dods-
worth, was run over on II street, be-

the life Of tho child can be saved or
not. The father acquits the driver Of

TRAIN Of CARS STOPPED BY A sQuAW.

Last week as q freight train was COM
Ing from Reno to Truckee the ylgilant
engineer saw some kind of an object
OH the track about l25 yards ahead Of
the locomotive, aud a Pluto squaw
. a by the same was swinging her
arms and gestlculating, as the engineer
rightly supposed, to have the train
stopped. The train was a heavy one,
under full Roadway, making about flf-
teen miles an hour, and 1t wal a diff
cult thing to stop 1t before the obstruc-
ton was reached. Brakes were Wills
tied down In an instant and the wheels
reversed. Engineers are human, they
think, and they think lively when
their train IL laundering along and
some impeditnent lies upon the track
In front Of them which Is likely to
bring swift destruction to the train and
those OH board, particularly those who
run the locomotive. The engineer on
the train we alludc to did some rapid
thinking, and after having done all In
his power to stop the train. prepared
to leap from the locomotive II the cars
did not stop before reaching the OBJ
struction. Gradually the train slack
ened, and when about 10 feet from the
object, It stopped. Tho engineer and
fireman jumped of and examined the
object that had subjected them to such
sudden unpleasantness, IL not mortal
terror, and found It was nothing more
or less than u large conlcal Indian bas-
ket which many OF u readers have
seen. The squaw, 1t appears, wanted
to come up to Truckeo and was tired
of walking and totlng her heavy load.
and placed her fragile basket on the
track to flag" tho train, so that she
could get o ride. The poor creature
was not killed, although IL there was
any force In good, square cussin' she
would have died q dozen deaths In as
many minutes. We know 1--WE b~elievel
the Scripture says, "Swear not ut ALL"
but we don't believe 1t had any such
case of provocation az the above In
view. aud we are inclined to think ut
the last great day when the ''jewels
are made up." that the engineer Of
this freight train will be excused for
all the heavy swearing he did on this
occasion.-Truckee Republican, August
10th.

short distance below the town Of Yer,

when near Vernon they we're fired
upon from behind q bush, by 4 person

wagon and o died. Shirley was Sc
verely wounded. but whipped up the
horses and drove till he met Roger
McMshon. who, at Shirley's request,
got into the wagon and drove to Shir-
ley's house. On surgical examination
Faust was found to have received five
small balls, or buckshot In the back.
two lodging near the heart, one per-
forating the right lung, IL through
the spinal column, and the fifth
through the right shoulder. Shirley
had one shot pass through his jaw at
the right side, and glancing upward,
lodge behind the eye, infiicting a very
dangerous wound. Wright, the assas-
sin, fled, but numerous officers were
soon started out securing the country
In all directions. An old grudge
against Faust Is thought to be the cause
of the foul murder.

c%HIROeRAPHY.

Among the good stories told at the
expense OF Nj. Greeley's chirogra-
ply Ia this:
Years ago, whena young man, he
received a poem from q young LADY IN
Vermont. He strongly suspected that
all poetry was nonsense, especially II
the lines did not square at both ends,
and ~ this particular poem did not
come up to his peculiar mechanical
standard for such literature. he threw
1t In the waste basket, and wrote 70
the author that he thought she would
do better to marry the first honest
man that offered her his hand, and
mind his hose and tend his babies,
than to rack her brain In trying TO
write rhymes that nobody would read.
The poor girl received the cruel letter,
and could decipher only the writer's
name. She showed 1t to her mother,
and she too was nonplussed. A coun-
ell Of inquiry was held over the strange
document, which was finally inter-
preted as a proposal TO marry the gifted
author of the rejected rhymes. Alter
some inquiry into the character Of Mr..
Greeley, the proposal was accepted,
greatly to the surprise Of the young
editor, who was so much pleased with
the prize he had won that he bought
tho white hat and overcoat he has worn
ever since, and was married forthwith.

MINING

The regulation Of coal minos Is a
subject which has OF late engaged the
attention Of the English Government.
A bill recently drawn up contains
many excellent provisions, some OF
which ought to command attention
among p~roprietors Of mines In this
country. No boys Under ten and no
females of any age are to be employed
in underground work. 4 limit Is placed
upon the time for which any boys UNI
der sixteen shall be employed below
ground under thirteen none are to be
employed, unless, OH account OF the
thinnesS of the seams, the Secretary OF
State considers it necessary, aud gives
special order for it. There are other
restrictions Of n like character, but OF
less riSidity, upon the age Of those en-
ployed above ground. Two shafts or
outlets must be provided for every
mine, with suitable hosting apparatus
at each. The manager of mine must
not be a contractor interested In the
mine, nor 4 person in such contrac-
tors employ. Thorough Inspection Of
the mines must be made once In every
twelve or twenty-four hours, according
to certain conditions. Tho examlna-
ton Of the shafts must be made once q
week. There are other provisions re-
lstlng to tho use Of gunpowder and
other explosives. When any breach
Of these rules shall result in the death
or injury OF any persons, the negligent
party will be held amenable to the
courts. A few convictions under the
bill, when 1t becomes a law, will 60
far to DO away with the prevalent reck-
lessness in coal mine administration.

A SINGULAR discovery was made in
London, in 1857, Of a carpet-bag coz
tanning human remains, lodged on
n Of the buttresses Of Waterloo
bridge. The discovery caused great
excitement, and furnished material
for numerous articles under the title
Of the Waterloo Bridge Mystery"
All the detectives OF London were at
work OH the case, and all were thor
oughly bafled. Lately the matter
has been brought into notice again BY
a British soldier stationed in India
avowing himself to be the person who
threw the sack with its contents into
the river, but ) his story was found TO
disagree with the statements published
in the newspapers at the time OF the
discovery, 1t was ~conjecsured that the
soldier had lied about the affair, In the
hope Of being sent home to England.
The revival Of the subject, however,
has had the effect Of bringing out a
letter from an old s~ub-editor. who
writes to the Birmingham Ga=ette that
the whole affair was the result Of n
scheme concocted by an ~impecunious
penny-a-liner, in order to supply ma
terisl for an exciting newspaper arti-
Gle. The human remains contained in
the sack were procured BY the reporter
from a d~issecting room, and the sack
was let down from Waterloo Bridge
by q confederate, who was disguised as
a woman The trick succeeded, the
originator Of the scheme was first on
the ground with the news, and all
London was set agoS BY the rumors
which gained currency In regard to
the "horrible mystery" which has
never been explained till now.
