CONGRESS- has appropriated $4,000
for the purpose Of constructing and
mounting the largest telescope In the
world. 1t Is proposed by some Of our
exchanges that Summit Station, the
highest point on the Central Pacific
Railroad. would be the best place for
mounting the telescope, on account Of
its altitude and the clearness Of the at
mosphere during the greater portion
Of the year. Summit Station Is 7,0l7
feet above the sea. As point for as
Economical observations, 1t is greatly
superior to any that could be obtained
in the Atlantic States.

GIANT POWDER SrRHE.-The Grass
Valley Union Of Saturday says: The
underground miners ut the Empire
mine, on Ophir Hill, struck on Thurs
day. They put down their tools and
refused to work in the mine because
they were told that Giant Powder had
to be used In some places In the mine.
They would not use 1t, and as was
their right, they quit work. The next
morning, that Is yesterday morning,
the underground workers Of the EN-
pire went to work again in the mine.
They do not go back Into that mine
to work Giant Powder, but will blast
away as Of old with the black powder,
We concede the right Of mine owners
to take back the men who struck, on
the mems own terms. We are not
running that mine or any other mine.
The people and the press Of this place
have wasted a good many words In
this late Giant Powder war their re-
solves to see the right prevail have
been many. They will maintain the
right Of mine owners to use black pow
der. The only thing that surprises US
Is that so rnany words were used about
n matter which amounted to nothing.
All quiet ut Grass Valley.

groups, and rs one Of these was being

been cut too little, as the first too
much. and so by the merest chance this
lieartless piece Of wickedness was
frustrated. Had it succeeded, hardly
any Of the intended victims could have
escaped either instant death or very
painful injury, since the fall was forty

Hyde's improved steam blowing

day is to be sent south OF Modesto to
tear I'D the land in that region. This

ago, and cut 1t up to tho satisfaction Of
all, but having only two wheels, and
they with narrow tires, they sank into

like spades-cut a furrow or earth

seven to ten inches in depth, turning
the soil up thoroughly. |: is %calculat-

from fifteen to twenty acres fsoll per

about to commit n rape OH common

gan to show signs Of fatigue. Nothing
dauntcd, however, "she struck her

lost his arm last week by falling under

Saturday, was taken to the hospital,
and was getting along rs well rs an In

male members OF the tribe, taking adj
vantage of tho absence Of the steward,
entered and took the patient BY main
strength therefrom aud carried him on
the hill back of the hospital and hid
him in the sage.brush. After a long
search he was found and returned to

Of the tribe still linger In the neigh

trying their hand again at carrying

The people Of a village In Kansas,
called Grasshopper Falls, not thinking
the name sufficiently high sounding,
had 1t changed to S%auetrelle. The
jewellers thereabout, unaccustomed to
such outlandish appellations corrupted
the new name Into "Sow TAIL" and
the village is now known only BY that
title. The Inundated villagers have

change the name of their village back
