A Great Curiosity from Mexico.
(From the Cincinnati Gazette.)

One of the curiosities to be exhibited at
Philadelphia is an aerolite weighing nearly
a ton, which has been sent from Chihuahua,
Mexico, by Mr.. Muller, q wealthy banker
of that city. 1t was found by Mr.. Muller
in 1866 in the process of excavations he had
caused to be made into the old Aztec ruins
in search of specimens Of Aztec earthen-
ware. The aerollte had undoubtedly been
regarded as an object of worship. There
are in Mexico, according to correspondent
of the Philadelphia Pres, who gives these
facts, several other remarkable aerolites,
perhaps as many as five, within range of
sixty or seventy miles, but the largest, and
perhaps tho largest known in the world, is
in the State of Chihuahua, in the desert
near to Parria, of immense size and weight,
not less, it is supposed, than fifty tons. Mr..
Muller had license from the Mexican
government to take either of these from the
country to the Centennial. If the large one
could have been removed, the public spirit
of Mr.. Muller, and his desire to add to the
interest Of the Centennial, would have in
duced him to send 1t on.

THE BONANZA.

The Virginia City lightning news
dispenser did not see fit to furnish lis
with the following item of news, which
we clip from the Virginia Chronicle:
Yesterdays nouncemen of a -
dividend on California stock will form
an epoch in the history of the Com
stock lode. The dividends of Consol-
idated Virginia and California are not
like those which Crown Point and
Belcher declared for only soune two or
three mouths. The two dollars on
Consolidated Virginia and two dollars
on California are good for years. The
ore to insure them is in sight, and the
continuance of dividends is only a
natter OF pick and shovel and stamp.
Now. instead Of 81, 0S0.000 per month.
as heretofore, there will be S2,260 900
distributed monthly from tho bonanza
upon the Pacific coast. The Eastern
press does not quite believe in the
Comstock yet. We should like them
to point out an Eastern enterprise
which ''pans out" in the same style as
the bonanza.

.. CiIEEK.,

That festive Oaklander, General Tom
Williams, appears determined, not
only To- run our centennial business at
Philadelphia. and the Nevada Demo-
cratic works at st. Louis. but, if we are
correctly informed, proposes to dictate
II local Democratic nominations this
fall. II hi. brain was proportionate to
his cheek he would be the greatest man
in America. He has wrung himself
in as spokesman for Nevada at Phila-
delphia; he wants to represent the
Democracy of our State in the National
Conventions; and We understand he has
threatened, in case a certain gentleman
is nominated by the Democrats for
Congress, that he will insure his defeat
at the polls if it costs him two dollars
and a half to do it. The poor, miser-
able specter of defunct chivalry has
haunted the Nevada Democracy long
enough, and We trust, in case he has
the presumption to intrude himself
upon the State Convention at Carson,
that he will be received in a manner
which will render it apparent, even to
his obtuse senses, that the Democracy
of Nevada are confident in their ability
to paddle their W canoe, and require
no assistance from picayune California
politicians of his ilk.

SUNDAY En- PHILADELPHIA.

Our dispatches to-day concerning the
opening exercises at Philadelphia are
not quite so couteur dc rose as they
were yesterday. There appears to be
some growing as well as some disap-
pointment. Some of the critics are not
satisfied with the opening march, COM
posed by the great apostle of the music
of the future; and If Yankee Doodle
runs all through it we don't blame
them. 1t is, moreover, reported that
the preparations were not complete and
that a great deal of disorder and annoy
ance was the consequence. Any regret
that we feel on this account, however,
is more than compensated blythe intel.
ligence that Sunday restriction will
probably he raised.
We regard the order to close the Ex-
hibition grounds and buildings on Sun
of the occasion. That fierce Sabbath
rianism which torbids a rational
healthy enjoyment of the day of rest;
which would forbid a mar to kiss his
wife on Sunday, and force him to at
tend service three times a day, is en-
tirely an offshoot Of Puritanism. II is
not international, it is not national, it
is not even local. 1t prevails among
certain classes of religionists in Great
Britain and the United States, and no.
where else. 1t is unknown in Protest
ant Europe; it is opposed to the spirit
Of tile age and in this case it would
work a particular hardship, and a
hardship upon those least able to sup.
port it. Visitors of leisure and Of
wealth can select such days as please
them for their visit; but the poorer
classes, who cannot afford to lose a
days work, would be, by the rule now
in force, deprived of the pleasure and
profit they might derive from the Elk.

be opened on Sundays.

THE CONNECTICUT SENATOR.
SHIP.

The action Of the Democratic caucus
of the Connecticut Legislature, which
will be found in II Geographic col
umns, is conclusive OF the question OF
the United States Senatorship from
that State, and w. III. Barnum is the
successful candidate. The present in
cumbent. ex.Gov. Jas. Il. English, was
appointed by the Governor last year to
fill a vacancy. 1t was claimed for
Governor English that his appoint
ment remained in force until the expir-
alton of the term of his predecessor,
on March 4, 1879. This position, how
ever, has been held untenable, and
Mr.. Barnum will take his seat March
4, 1877. Both parties are Democrats.
w. Fl. Barnum has, since 1867, been
the Representative of the Fourth Con-
gressional district Of his State. His
record in Congress is that of a Con-
sistent but moderate Democrat, and of
a thoroughly informed and active but
not a brilliant member. 1t takes all
sorts of men to make up a legislative
body, and MI. Barnum is a thorough
business man and a most useful mem
Der. He is verging on sixty years of
age, and received only a common
school education. 1t is somewhat GU
rious that in a State like Connecticut
only n out of its six Representa-
tiyes, including Senator'S, should have
received an academic education.

B. B. B.-The Beecher- Bacon-Bow-

scene disgraceful to all the parties con-

of the Advisory Council has found
Bowen guilty of all manner of wick
ness, but has granted a stay Of pro-
ceedings to permit the Sphinx to un-
close the lips of stone to DR.. Taylor, of

secrecy. What effect the appointment
of this distinguished divine as father
confessor can have, we fail to see.
Upon the announcement of the action
of the committee q scene of disgrace
full confusion ensued. We have no re.
spect for any one connected with it
save for MI. Parke, of counsel for Bow
Ell, who, when the great paroxysmal
kisser cried out in a loud tone of voice
that he had been accused of a mon
strous crime, most ~pertinently and
truly answered, "And you are guilty
of it, too" But the saints Missed

LET ,EM OUT.

The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted last Saturday by the
Eureka Democratic County Consen-
ton:
WHEREAs, 1t is a notorious fact that
the politics Of Nevada have heretofore,
to a great extent, been controlled by
non residents ofthe State; and
WHEREAS, the Republican party es-
pecially has been controlled by resi-
dents OF California, a number of whom
are now holding the highest positions
within the gift of the people of the
State; therefore, it is
Resolved, That the Democratic
party of Nevada, having within its
ranks q sufficient number of members,
actual residents of the State, who are
amply competent to attend to the in
terests OF the organization and to fill all
positions which the party or the people
Of the State have to bestow, have no
occasion to call on tho residents of our
neighboring State to superintend the
management of our local party affairs,
or fill u local positions, and it is,
therefore, further
Resolved, That the delegates to the
Democratic State Convention from Eu.
reka county be, and they are hereby
instructed to support no persons as
delegates from Nevada to the National
Convention except those whose resi-
dence in the State is actual and not
constructive.
We commend the above resolution
to the attention of the members of the
State Convention to be held in Carson
on the 18th instant. 1t Is a notorious
fact that q number Of persons, resi-
dents of California, who are no more
citizens of Nevada than of Maine, have
announced their intentions Of present.
ing their names as candidates for dele
gates to the National Convention. 1t
10 q general feeling throughout the
State that we have had enough of Cal
ifornia rule, and that it is high time for
Nevadans to take charge of their own
political affairs. This is a good time to
commence the work of reform. Let
the members Of the State Convention
give Messrs. Williams, Sunderland,
Thornton & Co. distinctly to under
stand that their political services here
after will be dispensed with here. We
propose hereafter n run our W po-
litical machine independent of Califor-
mia politicians.
