A USEFUL INvENTIoN.-Vaughan,
the well.known photographer Of this
city, has Just invented a little appara-
tus which, 1t strikes us, will be found
especially useful In taking the pictures
OF children, as It dlspenses with the
great black cloth with which the tube
OF the Gamers is covered, and the re-
moval and replacement Of which,
while the picture Is being taken, tends
to impair the result, by distracting the
attention OF the sitter. Instead Of the
cloth or brass cap which covers the
tube Of the camera, MI. Vaughan en-
ploys a disk Of brass or other metal,
consisting Of two semi-lunar portions.
which open and close like the blades OF
a pair Of scissors, and which thus open
or close the tube Of the camera. They
are worked nolselessly and instantane-
ously by the slight pressure Of a little
knob on the top Of the instrument, and
the plate Is exposed and closed again
without any manipulations that can
be seen by the sitter. BY this means
the operator waits until the child as
sumes a favorable expression, when
he presses the spring, exposes the
plate, and takes the picture without
making any motion that attracts the
attention or causes a motion Of his Sit
ter. Like all useful inventions, this Is
exceedingly simple, and may be at
tached to any Photographic camera

ANOTHER PHASE OF THE BLOCKADE.
The San Francisco Post OF Saturday
says: 1t Is to be hoped that we have
had the last grand detention on the
Overland route this season; yet 1t
muat be remembered that March Is the
worst month in the year on the plains,
and that after the danger from the fall
Ing snow comes the danger Of the
melting snow, when the stream that
pours down from the Rocky Noun
tains will become raging torrents. The
Mormons say that the bridges and a
good portion of the track of the Union
Pacific cannot stand such o rush Of
water as they have seen In the Wasatch
canyons and gorges, and there must be
an unusually large body Of snow lying
upon the hills. The Postal Depart
ment, as we'll as the railroad company
ought to be warned In time, and stand
prepared until the Spring Ia we'll ad-
vaneed, to carry the mails around or
over any blockade or break that may
In future occur. The matter should
receive the attention Of our represen-
tatives In Congress.

ANOTHER Rich STRIEE.-The Auburn

this item:

Meeting on Bald Hill, near Humbug
Flat, for some time back, struck a very
rich deposit OF gold bearing quartz on
Monday last. Specimens shown us
are richly flecked and loaded with
free gold, the particles ranging from
the size ola mustard seed to that Of
the largest gold pen. In a few hours
Mr.. Harrison took out specimens that
will yield several hundred dollars, and
he reports plenty more Of the same sort
In sight. He states that these specl-
mems come from a well-detined ledge,
about four or six inches in thickness.
The section In which this discovery
was made has always been noted for
rich pockets, and we trust that Harri-
son and partner will make q good
stake out Of this one.

Mrs. DE LoSa's COURT DRESSES
The social gossip column Of Saturdays
San Francisco Chronicle has the fol-
lowing:
Our fashionable ladies who were let
into the secret have been during the
mast week In ecstacles over some mag
nihcent court dresses gotten up ty
Madame Uzne for Mrs. Charles De
Long, which was intended to remain q
secret until they had been displayed
on the person Of that distinguished
lady. But when was q woman ever
known to keep q secret? One Of the
intimate friends let the cat out Of the
bag, and there was an end Of 1t. The
material, which Is very costly, was
presented to Mrs. De Long by the En-
peror of Japan, and the three-for
there wero three-were gotten up as
follows: A purple and white uncut
velvet, In bayadere stripes, and bro
caded with real gold, was made with
train of immense length. lined through
out with rich white satin and trimmed
with an elaborate border Of feathers Of
purple and white and green Wide
court sleeves trimmed with lace and
feathers and lined with white satin.
| and p~ettIcoat of rich white satin pulled
with tulle and trimmed with lace. No.
two Is an elegant brocade Of blue and
silver, so rich as to stand alone. This
also has q court train Of an enormous
length, and court sleeves, both lined
with white satin trimming Of point
lace and white satin. No. three d Of
a lovely shade of rose pink, and Is q
satin richer than any made In Europe.
It Is cut with court train and sleeves
precisely the same al the others, but
has an oyerskirt Of heavy rose-colored
| Chinese crepe. Round the bottom Is
a wide flounce of crepe, also a putting,
and over all a flounce Of point ap-
plique of unequaled magnlficence. The
corsage Is richly trimmed with point
applique. The few ladies who have
been allowed to feast their eyes OH this
splendor declare they never, no never,
did see anything so elegant, and Ma
dame Uzne has surpassed herself and
covered herself with a mantle OF glory.

ABOUT NosEs.-Joaquin Miller, In a
late prose article published In Serb.
ner's, says Of noses:
As a rule, in any great struggle In
volving my degree OF strategy and
strength, the small nose must 60 to the
wall. It may have pluck, spirit, re-
tinement, sensitiveness, and In fact, to
q casual observer, every quality re-
qulslte to success; but somehow, inva-
rlably at the crisis, 1t gives way. Small
noses are a failure. This Is the verdict
Of history. Give me a man or woman
with a big nose-not a nose Of flesh ;
not a loose, tiabby nose, like a camel's
lip ; not a thin, starved nose, that the
eyes have crowded out and forced Into
prominence ; but q full, strong, sub
stantial nose, that Is willing and able
to take the lead ; one that assists Itself
boldly between the eyes, and reaches
up towards the brow, and has room
enough to sit down there and DO at
home. Give me q man, or a woman
either, with . nose like that, and l will
have q nose that will accomplish some
thing. Igrant you that such a nose
may be a knave /; 1t may be equally a
genius /; but 1t Is never q coward nor o
fool-never.

sentence Of IIs Br.L.w.

In the Fifteenth District Court In
San Francisco on Saturday last, Isaac
E. Brokaw convicted Of murder In the
second degree for the killing OF Robert
F. Evans, received his sentence. The
Chronicle says that when. the prisoner
finally rose as directed for sentence,
James II. Hardy, oneof Brokaw's law:
yers, said he hoped the Court would
take into conclusion the fact that the
defendant had been in prison fifteen
months; and would also consider the
Recommendation to mercy made 6y the
Jury. Although his recommendation
has been probably made with o view
of including Executive clemency, the
sentence of the Court would have an
important hearing OH the exercise OF
such clemency. For If the sentence
should be heavy 1t would indicate to
the Governor that the sentence OF TINS
Court did not share In the belief OF the
Jury that there we're itigated circum-
stances which led to the commission OF
the offense. Judge Dwinelle said he
had given due consideration to the
iury's recommendation to mercy, and
TO the other points referred to by the
counsel, but at tho same time 1t was
necessary to bear in mind the aggra-
waiting circumstances of the case. The
dangerous practice Of recklessly dis
charging deadly weapons In the public
streets, thereby imperiling the lives OF
innocent people, required stern meas
ures Of repression. Then. addressing
the prisoner, Judge Dwinelle said:
'rrhe sentence Of the Court Is, that you
be Imprisoned In the State Prison for
the term Of sixteen years." The pris-
oner received his sentence without any
sign Of emotion. Mr.. Hardy then
moved for twenty days time In which
to prepare and file exceptions, and the
Judge granted the request. Brokaw
was then removed by a Deputy Sheriff,
the curious crowd left the Court room,
and so falls the curtain on the last act
of the Bush-street tragedy.

ONLY TEMPORARY.

As we feared, the raising Of the
chronic snow blockade on the Union
Pacific Railroad was merely a tempo
rary matter-simply allowing a few Of
the long delayed trains to struggle
through. In fact, the blockade has not
been raised at all, but those trains
have been shoveled through by slow
degrees, and the road behind them was
again blockaded as fast as they pro-
gressed ahead. It Is now fully as bad
as ever. with no prospect Of improve
msnt, therefore no trains from this d.
rection are making the attempt to run
the blockade, and the Japanese En-
bassy, for this reason, still remain at
Salt Lake. Passengers arrived yes
terday tell US interesting stories about
the famous blockade, amid which they
were detained so long; Of Its trials
and privations, Us we'll as Its amusing
incidents. The trains kept as close to
each other as possible, for mutual ben
eft and assistance, a small army Of
shovelers preceding the trains, as all
the snow had to be shoveled out by
hand, being SO firmly packed that snow
plows were totally useless. As fast as
q short section could DO thus cleared
the trains we're moved ahead, some
times a few miles a day, and some
days not advancing at all, the object
being to move each time to n good
stand on an embankment, and not stop
In a cut. where the snow would fill In
around them. Some Of the passengers
say the Railway Company could have
got these trans through at least two
weeks sooner had they put on more
men to assist in clearing the track; but
economy seemed to be quite a point
studied In that respect, they only pay
ing what men they thus employed
81 25 per day. Even but very few
| Cinnamon cared to endure the hard
ships of the situation at that price.
One passenger, who was In 1t three
weeks, tells us that when he arrived
at the blockade he found others who
had already been there q week de-
tanned. The mails arriving yesterday
brought newspaper dates as late al
February Sd. There Is a vast accumu-
latlon yet to come, but the news mat
ter is now stale and Of little use, as
the telegraph has anticipated 1t all.
From this direction there Is also a
huge accumulation Of mails as we'll as
bullion bound East. awaiting a chance
to get through the blockade. 1t will
be all right next Summer, perhaps.
