The San Francisco Chronicle gives bioqraph,
Of James Lick, the donor Of the enormous sun
OF 3700,0 600 for the purpose Of building and
equipping with the best telescope in the world
an observatory in the Sierra Nevada H is
described as an eccentric old gentleman. Ha
eccentricities consist, as far as can ba gathered
from the biographical skotch, in thorough,
sterling honesty, wonderful common sonso, and
rationaiistic religious views. In disposing Of
his property to others before dying, in o.de.
that he might have the pleasure OF
seeing others enjoy it, be proved himself
q man Of sense as we'll as liberalty. In the l.n-
guage OF an inspired writer, "We brought
nothing into this world and it ia certain that 10
shall take nothing out" Tho exact claim to be-
ing considered liberal that man makes who
merely distributes according to his selfish desires
that which he cannot use himself is not apps-
rent. but it is SO generally allowed that we nec-
essarly regard the man eccentric who volu1ta-
rily parts with his property before dying. Inhs
thoroughneas in business, too. Mr- Lick xs
eccentric. Ha built -four mill II

it With the utmost care, and ma1e
such an admirable quality Of -four that it sold
for - q barrel more than any other in the
market. He Was eccentric enough to give thia
mill to the Tom Paine Society Of Boston, and to
feel indignant when that body sold it for one->
twentieth Of its value. But the GROWING Cd
centricity Of his life was his interest in ths
study Of astronomy. whicn prompted him to
make the magnificent donation which will giys
the Far West the best apparatus in existence.

Ono evening in 1840 two Kentuckians rode

How the Elephant Got Even.

Some man, who i'll deserves the title,
cave the elephant ct the menagerie yes
terlay afternoon q bundle OF tobacco.
Every one knows who knows anything
that the weed Of all other things will
rouse this otherwise docile animal to q
desperate az Of anger. II did 30 in this
case. The elephant seized the nearest
object upon which to wreak his vengen-
ance, and this proved to be the eleven
war old son OF II. W. Luhrs. The
great beast wound his trunk About the
boy aud squeezed him 80 tightly as 10
break his right arm between b elbow
aud the wrist, and to severely bruise his
body. Being compelled to release his
hold Of the boy, the enraged animal, az
soon as the lad was dropped, again al.
tempted to seize him, and in the effort
came near taking the youths head on.
II was ON all hands considered more
than fortunate that the animal did not
cast him down and trample him to death,
and also fortunate that ths angered brute
lil not run a-muck in the crowd. as ell
enb,nts have done when tobacco has
been given them. The man who nc.
compiished this trick should be hayed
alive for putting hundreds OF lives in
jeopardy. Such q smart individual
would be honorsd by being trampled by
40 noble an animal rs an elephant, and
Is too low-lived q specimen to be worthy
the distinction Of being kicked to death
by a jackass. The boy was conveyed
by officers Dunievy and Caffsrty to the
Office Of a physician, and the broken
arm was properly attended to. and the
young boy was again on the streets last
evening.-Sdc. Record, Juiy25h.

hawk bridge the other day during the
sudden rise Of the river. which showed
the intelligence Of tho mice and the care
exercised by the mother for her young.
The mother evidently had n nest in the
the stone wall near the bank. in the gar
den Of Mr.. Van Epps. As soon a. the
water reached the nest, or near IL. the
mother was seen 10 come from the wall
with one Of her young in her mouth
and deposit II beneath atrec on theground
out OF danger from the flood. She went
back and forth. taking one Of her young
each time. until they were all saved.
On another occasion ut the same place
an old mouse did the same thing and
more. When she had rescued a part Of
her young the water had risen 30 N to
cut Oh communication with her nest, but
this did not stop her. She plunged in.
TO the water, swan owe the nest, and
brought away several young mice in this
way. holding them in her mouth above
water while she swan with them TO dry
land. This feat was witnessed by sew
eral persons.-Sehaeesady Union.

THE NEW CROWN POINT Horsr-
ING MACHINERY.

At ii O'Clock this forenoon a tempo
rary steam pipe from the old boilers was
attached to the new hoisting engines OF
the Crown Point works for the purpose
Of a preliminary test or trial. The steam
being turned on. the whole great mass
moved and worked from the very start
with the utmost precision and perfec-
ton. Not q single miscalculation had
been made. each bolt and other detail Of
the machinery filing its proper function
without the necessity Of q change Of a
single piece Of the whole. This hoist
ing machinery. in some respects at least,
il without q parallel, and whom con-
,idered as a whole. Is simply ponderous.
The machinery is driven by two hosting
engines which are Of the link motion.
built after the fashion Of a common To-
comotiye engine, so that when the steam
il turned on they start from any point
Of revolution. The cylinders are each
20 inches in diameter, with a 42-inch
stroke. giving q combined power OF 200
horses. each engine weighing 22L tons,
and the bed plates and boxes upon which
thew rest weighing l7h tons. To these
engines Is attached two fly wheels IA
feet in diameter. and each weighing H..
900 pounds. The driving or spur wheel
OF these engines is 81 feet in diameter,
with A i9-inch face, the cogs having a
| G.inch pitch. and weighs % tons.
Attached directly to this driving wheels
A ponderous hosting reel. q feet . inches
In diameter. with 6 foot face covered
with heavy cast iron plates, with a spiral
groove encircling it in which a heavy
Steel cable, two inches in diameter,
winding like a screw. each coil OF the
rope having its own separate groove,
thus avoiding all friction or chatting OF
the rop and greatly adding to its wear
and safety. II takes four and a half
revolutions Of the engines to make n
turn Of this drum. which winds Gs feet
| OF rope at n turn. and is calculated
to hoist IL tons OF ore at a load.
| The reel shaft IN Is inches in diameter,
and IA feet long, which, with the reel
alone. weighs sc tons. This tremend-
a weight Of machinery is built upon
1900 perch Of solid masonry. there being
500 cubic feet alone in the pillow blocks
and engine beds. The anchor bolts are
II feet in length, and tho whole
built in the most solid and perfect
manner. The engines will be sup
Piled with steam by 4-a inch tu-
bular boilers, each iG feet in length.
This ponderous piece Of machinery was
designed and its erection superintendent
by /. +. Thompson, the noted engineer
and machinist, assisted by Mr.. Ivy Full
ton. chief engineer Of tho works, and
reflects great credit upon both. Il is
designed to work the mine TO the depth
Of $500 feet, which II will no doubt do
with perfect ease. The connections be-
tween the new boilers and the engines
are not quite finished yet, but will be by
the first day Of August. whom it is eI-
pected to resume hosting ore from the
mine. with an opportunity for bigger
and better work than has ever been done
heretofore.

FIRE AT TIE INTERNATIONAL HorkL.-
On Monday morning between the hour
Of one and two O'Clock, Mr.. Al. 0ler,
the night clerk Of the international
Hotel in Virginia, in going the rounds
OF the building to see that everything
was in order. discovered the kitchen to
be ON fire. Tho kitchen and dining
room were filed with smoke. the former
being lit up by the blaze sufficiently to
enable him to see all objects in the room
clearly. With remarkable presence OF
mind Mr.. Ozier. instead Of alarming the
house and thereby causing confusion
worse COMPOUNDED" proceeded at once
TO extinguish the flames, which he did
after 4 few minutes combat with them.
Upon examination, after the rooms had
been cleared Of smoke, he discovered
the origin Of the fire. II seems that
the cooks, before leaving every night,
clean up the kitchen, and the ashes
from the range are placed in n large
wooden box. This box was allowed to re-
main on the kitchen floor and the ashes
being red hot, in timo burned through
the box and ignited the wood composing
the floor. Had Mr.. 0zier been iye
minutes later in discovering the fire,
serious results would have undoubtedly
followed. and much credit is due him for
his efficiency in this instance.

NEw YORK. July 2s.-Nothing def
mite is made known this morning con-
corning the Beecher scandal. 1t is un-
dcrstood that Moulton and Tilton were
in consultation yesterday and Sunday.
Moulton is acting under the advice OF
General Butler. When Moulton is
invited by the committee ii is believed
he will testify. Tlton, however, thinks
that only a Court OF law can compel him
to speak. Friends Of Tilton say that
he has expressed nm opinion that the ey-
idcnec adduced during the investigation
will not convict Beecher, for the Com
mittee seek only favorable testimony.
The Committee, II is said, have decided
that Beecher should not be called ON to
testify until his statements have been
strengthened by something more than
his own affidavit.

Nxw YoRx, July ga Berlin letter

certain general principles Al what war Is.
1t is a struggle between two nations and
their armies, and not between subjects.
1t contains eighty-one sections devoted
to a detailed statement OF what should
or should not be permitted in war.
With regard to military authority on the
territory Of a hostile State, the doctrine
is decisively laid down that the occupa-
ton Of a part Of the territory completely
suspends legal authority in that State
and substitutes its enemies, so that II
any OF the population are subsequently
found in arms they will not be treated
as prisonesr Of war;. However. an army
OF occupation has no right to seize
church establishments or charity insti-
tuions. Tho seizure Of monuments,
works Of art or museums is severely rep
rehended. Among tho Q Of war
which are forbidden are the use Of poi
son, treacherous murders Of prisoners
and refusal to give quarter, threats Of
determination toward a garrison that OBJ
stinately defends a fortress, employment
Of arms causing useless suffering, such

city, which is not defended by troops,
can neither DO bcsieged nor bombarded.
No city can DO bombarded without

IONS captured in balloons are not spies;
