ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

SASrrXRY.-The philosophio John I.
CHM contributes the following learned
concatenary dlsquisition upon an i'm
portant subject: 1.-The antozoniterous
state Of the atmosphere, yesterday
morning, was conducive OF coughs and
colds, inasmuch Al antozone causes n
relaxation OF tho rigidity Of the laws
OF molecular attraction, as shown by
the greater facility OF tslegraphing
during warm cloudy weather rs COM
pared with the difficulty attending the
same operation during the prevalence
OF snow storms, when ozone Ia album
dant in the atmosphere. 1t Is we'll
known that iron and other metals ex-
pand with heat and contract with cold,
but 1t Is not so well known that mole
cular attraction Is governed more by
that subtitle element of the atmosphere,
o the active or oxydizing princi-
pie of OXYGEN, than by temperature.
ozone is abundant IN snow, as also In
the germ Of all vegetable matter. Snow
precipitates it from the upper or dyna-
m~o-electric strata Of atmosphere, while
plants exhale it from the s~tatico-elec-
trio fullness of the earth. But for the
presence of this poisonouS-healthful
principle Of life, exhaled from abun-
dant vegetation In the torrid zone, AMI
NAL bodies would fall to pieces In de-
fiance Of the laws Of molecular attrac-
ton, while in the frigid zone the same
bodies would become as "stlf rs a
poker," did not the snow carry ozone
sufficient to supply the deficiency arls-
ing from the absence Of the exhalations
OF plants"
BEAUTIFUL. PICTURE At RAFFLE.-At
the rooms of MI. Berliner, the popular
teacher of the plano, over B. Galland's
dry goods store In M~aynard's Building
on Main street, a most beautiful tapes
try picture is on exhibition. 1t is en-
titled .sThe First Prayer" and Is a
German peasant family scene, repre-
senting a group Of five persons, includ-
ing a mother with her three little ones,
and the old grandmother sitting near.
1t Is evening, and bed time having ar
rived, the mother Is sitting with tho
Youngest child on her lap learning 1t TO
lisp It's first prayer, while the grand
mother contemplates the devout little
one with fond attention, and another
child kneeling at her feet with head
%reysrentially bowed and hands
clasped, Is also saying Its evening
prayer. The perspective and colorlng
of the picture are good, the bed and
furniture Of the room looking very
natural. The picture Is IS by IS Inches
in size, elegantly framed, and Is OF IN
pestry work, wrought by, Mrs. Berli-
ner. 1t Is very creditable as we'll as
artistic production and Will be DIS
posed of by rnffie. The tickets are for
sale at 81 50 each. Mr.. Berliner In
vites public inspection Of this beautiful
picture.
FLAGG DrvIpsND.-Tie first install
ment or dividend Of IS cents on a dol
lar, declared by the trustees or assign
ees of the estate OF H.. II. Flagg, the
suspended stock broker and banker, Is
being paid out to-day at the Gold HUI
branch of the Bank Of California. This
frees and distributes about $25O,OOO In
this community, and those receiving
1t at the counter Of the bank look quite
philosophically pleased as they come
away with their coin. "Half a loai Is
better than no Bread" which idea IS
illustrative Of the difference between
the Flagg and Cavalier sufferers. An
other dividend will be paid by the
Flagg assignees as soon as the balance
of tho property and affairs can DO set
tied. Thus far we think the creditors
will agree that they have done better
than II they had crowded the estate
into bankruptcy.
piers 0PERA HoUsE-FUN AHEAD.
As.will be seen by advertisement In
another column to-day, Miss Amelia
Deans Female Minstrel troupe from
San Francisco will make their first ap-
psarance Mt Piper's Opera House next
Thursday evening. There are twenty
five members in the troupe, including
eleven females, and altogether they
present an array Of minstrel versatility
and talent never before seen In this
section. 1nelr OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Will %
of the most pleasing, highly amusing
and varied character, consisting of all
the most popular songs, music, dances
and character acts. b~urlesques, panto-
mines, ETC.. new, fresh, original and
very attractive. Such a talented, YER
satile, extensive and novel combina-
tion of choice artists should and doubt
less will draw excellent houses.
OpHIR MINERS OUT.-It was current
" reported about town last night that
the miners who have been for some
DAYS shut down in the Ophir were al
lowed to come out last evening, says
the Enterprise. We did not see any OF
them, but have heard that they all
keep mum in regard to what may be
below; therefore, outsiders are about
as wise as before. There was also a
report that a guard was stationed at
the shaft last night to prevent anxious
stockholders from making a raid on
the lower regions Of tho mine.
