DIR. RUrFNER BEFORE The REPUBLICAN,
CAucus.-As we have been requested by sey.
eral Republican members of the Legislature
to correct the statement made In our issue of
Saturday that DIR. Rufner had been noni.
mated By the Republican caucus held on Fri
day night, We have gathered this definite
information about the matter.
The caucus nominated candidates for all
the offices to be filled except that OF Super
intendent of Public instruction. When
that was called on the list member said
that as DR.. Ruffner had filed the office In
manner perfectly acceptable to the Repubf-
can party he (the member) would propose
that no nomination be made for that Office.
To that suggestion there was no dissent.

A NreStIer'S TribuIatiOnS.

An interesting incident has just oc-
Cured at Bucharest. The proprietor
of the Suhr circus announced that a
challenge by Jules Rigal, a wrestler at
tached TO the circus, had been accepted
by gentleman who would appear be-
fore the public in week. The amateur
athlete was rumored to be no other than
Prince Stouidja a Moldavian noble,
who has the reputation Of possessing
herculean strength. When the " great
unknown" made his first appearance the
stalls were filled with eager spectators
long before the performance. The dis
tinguished unknown, amid frantic ap-
plause, fioored his antagonist. The
performance was repeated several sue
cessive nights, until one evening amen
Der of the troupe divulged the fact that
the masked wrestler was only one of
the clowns of the circus. This led to a
disturbance, and the "great unknown %
narrowly escaped being torn to piece
by his late admirers.

The Largest Iron Clad AflOat.

The Russian iron-clad Peter the
Great, which was built after the de-
signs of Adjutant General Popof in
1872, was sent on it's first trial trip
from Cronstadt on the 18th of October,
accompanied by the steam frigate Rurik.
It started at ten o'clock in the morning,
and after steaming out of the harbor
went out to sea at the rate of twelve
knots an hour. After proceeding at
this speed for short time it was found
that one of the ships screws was dam
aged, and it had to put back for re-
pairs. According to the Golos, the
Peter the Great is at present the most
powerful iron-clad afoat. It's hull is
333 feet long by So feet 3 inches wide;
it has double bottom, and is covered
with armor plates to depth of 6 feet
below the water line. It has two tur-
rets, which will be armed with four 12-
inch rifle guns, whose muzzles will be
Il feet above the water. The plates
over the water-line are Il inches thick,
with a 10-inch backing. Below the
water-hne the thickness Of the plates is
12-inches, and of the backing the same.

Don't Wake NV Mother.

Among the passengers by the west
ward bound emigrant train which arriv-
ed yesterday was Mrs. w. S. Credi-
ford, sn aged lady from Albert, Maine.
Poor, feeble and alone, she had left her
home to cross the continent on an emil
grant train to see her children residing
IN this state. Two grown daughters
awaited her at San Jose, and her son
had gone up the road to meet her. He
found ner worn out with the tatigues of
the protracted journey i'll comfortless
emigrant car, and very weak. About
6 o'clock in the evening she reclined
her head on his shoulder and fell asleep
there. Just after the train had left San
Leandro gentleman, noticing something
peculiar in the appearance of the old
lady, approached her son and inquired.
What is the matter with that lady 2"
-" Hush" replied the young man,
"Don't wake my mother. " ''No fear, !"
said the gentleman, "she will never
wake again in this world" He was
right. Quietly leaning on the breast of
her son, the poor old ladylhad yielded to
fatigue and peacefully fallen into a
slumber from which she passed into
that deeper sleep that knows neither
waking nor WEAKNESS. The emigrants
composed her limbs to rest, and brought
the body to this city for the bereaved
children. Francisco Chronicle.

known to the pharmacopeia, yet 1t
stands second to none among local rem
edies, and [ believe is the only one that
bears shade of semblance to a remedy
in this fearful disease, and thus far ex-
ceeds any that has become known to the
professional world. 1t may be prepared
by the addition of one ounce OF the
muriated tincture of iron to one of a
strong solution of tannin, and applied
by means of brush to the diseased
throat, Or elsewhere, as the case may be;
or, what [ believe to be better way,
apply the muriated tincture Of iron in
full strength to the diseased part with a
brush, wait few moments, then apl ly
the solution of tannin in the same way,
thereby forming a union of the two at
the point of disease, having at the same
time the advantage of chemical action,
if there be any. On examination few
hours after, you will see the line of de-
marcation distinctly drawn by the dis
coloration of the diseased tissue, show
ing exactly the extent of the disease,
the very thing desired, with a tendency
