A discussion is now being had as to who is the
champion witness of the world, and 1t is maintained
that. although MOulton has earned for himself the
designation Of the great American witness, y be is
not entitled to the belt. 1t IS said that one Major
McKinstry, who was General Fremont's Quarter
master General in Missouri, was arraigned before
a court martial and examined for thirteen consecu-
tive days. and never contradlcted bimself once dur
ing all that time. But the cases of Monlton and
McKinstry '.sink into insignifcsnce" when com
pared with that of the great Tichborne claimant in
England. who was pelted on the witness stand by
lawyers for six weeks. We are not sure. however,
that the Right Honorable Sir Roger did not contra
dict himself during his examination.

away from us, and ZAP ,000, 600 miles away from the
sun, so that it will be too faint TO be observed for
some weeks to come, except by the aid OF the larg-
est and most powerful glasses. 1t was found on
the night of the 29th Of January, a 26incb equa-
torial being employed In the search. 1t was ex-
tremely faint, with no nucleus, and with no well de-
fined boundary, but seemed to be from one to two
minutes of arc In diameter. All attempts to observe
the comet with the micrometer failed, on account Of
its extreme distance.

WELL WATERED.-At each recurrence of a fire on
Emma street during the past twelve months, the re-
mark has been made that property owners in that
locality were inadequately protected in the matter of
water for putting out fires. At the burning of the
German Club House, the water had to be brought all
the way from Beretania street. But cause of COM
plant in this respect exists no longer, for Emma street
is now the best supplied With water pipes and hydrants
of any street in the city. A three-inch iron pipe
runs re whole length, on each side, with four cross
conn -stions, and from Beretania street to School,
there are no less than FIVE hydrants. With the two
lines of piping aud the cross-conneetiOns. a head of
water for FIRE engines can be had at all times-so long
as the reservoir don't give out.

PICKED UP IN-sHoRE.-The RiIdusa reports having
found a mast floating in the sea near the coast Of
South Kona, Hawaii, and which she left at Keala-
kekua. It was 20 feet in length, and appears to have
been the mainmast of a $50 ton schooner. Good
sized barnacles we're in plenty on the mast, which in
the opinion of seamen indicates that it had been in
the water a month at least. 1t has been conjectured
that it came from the schooner Varun0, hence Jan
Z, and which had not arrived at San Francisco March
8, sixty DAYS out.
