DISTINGUISHED ARRIyAIs.-Two Of

DISTINGUISHED ARRIyAIs.-Two Of
the prominent members Of the Japan
csc Embassy arrived at Virginia yes
terday noon, accompanied by Profess
sor Ashburner, Count Eugene Mitkie-
wicz and one or two other notables.
The Japanese are tho Chiefs Of the De-
partments of Mining and Railroads in
their country, and came here to take
items. Yesterday they went through
the Crown Point, Belcher and Yellow
Jacket mines, and to-day they are
taking q look ut the Chollar-Potosi
and some Of the other mines In the
Virginia section of the Comstock. The
younger Of the two, the railroad man,
does not appear to be twenty years Of
nge, but he speaks English fluently
and Is evidently a right Intelligent
Young man, although not handsome.
None of the men Of the Embassy,
however, are said to be anyways
good looking. One Of the five
Young ladies who came along
with them to be educated at some
Eastern seminary. Is said to be real
pretty, and no doubt will create quite
n sensation Fast. These two Japanese
visiting this locality will only be here
q day or two. rs they are to rejoin the
rest of the Embassy ut Reno OH their
way East. Count Mitklewicz came
from Russia with the Grand Duke
Alexis, accompanying him in his tour
West till he switched off for his big
buffalo hunt, when the Count left the
party and came through to see this sec
ton. lie is a young man, active and
Intelligent, and takes kindly to tho
customs and people, considering lis
quite civilized for u sagebrush commu-
nifty. From a short interview we had
with him this morning, we consider
him rather Of a wide awake man Of the
world.
SAD AccIpENr.-About s o'clock last
evening, George Henning, working at
the |, 2OO-foot level Of tho Crown Point
mine, had the misfortune to lose his
left eye. It was actually dug out OF
his head with the point ola pick. He
was working In a drif with Daniel
Bell. Bell was at the face or end Of
tho drift, picking, when Henning came
along aud inadvertently approached
so close that Bell, not seeing him be-
hind him, swung his pick back for
another blow, and in doing so the
sharp point struck the unfortunate man
In tho eye, knocking him down. He
was taken to the surface as soon as
practicable and he then walked to Nir-
ginia, where he called on DR.. Conn,
who, OH examination, at once pro-
nounced the eye destroyed, it having
run out. Mr.. Hcnning Is or was Dis
trict Deputy Grand Master Of the Odd
Fellows for this State, also Grand Rep
res~entative, and has n large circle OF
friends to sympathize with him in his
aifiiction. He is stopping at the Wash
ington House, on the Divide.
TIE COMING Observation-Disclosures
day evening next, Plper's Opera House
will reopen for a season Of only II
week, under an engagement with the
famous Purdy, Scott and Fostelle's
Minstrels, late of Emerson's, San Fran
cisco. This fine, flrst-class company
includes the cream of the profession,
and q combination Of stars seldom or
never seen together In II troupe.
They arc all new here, not one Of
them V G having appeared before u
audiences, therefore they add the
charm Of novelty to their excellent cn-
tertainments. For detailed particulars
relative to each member Of the conf
pany, read the grand advertisement In
another column under head OF New
To-day"
The OLDEST NATIVE BoRS VIRGIN
1ANs.-George Piper, son of John Pr
per, ex-Mayor Of this city, who will be
ten years Of age next month, Is said to
be the oldest male child born In Viz
ginia City; and Virginia Tilton,
daughter of John II. Tilton, of tho
GeiSer Grade, 10 the Oldest child born
In the city. Tho pair will probably
marry one Of these days, and settle
down as respectable "oldest inhabi-
tants." We believe, however. that a
boy, not now In the city, son OF Mark
Bryan, was the first male child born
In this city-and not Master Piper.
Miss Virginia Tilton undoubtedly was
the first child born here. So says the
Enterprise.
