THE CAUSE OF THE HEATED Term.
Professor Dibbelmeyer, of Berlin, has
hit upon a way of explaining the hot
weather which hts lately afflicted a
large part of the temperate zone. Since
the early part December, 1874, there
has been a most singular and unu-
sual dearth of comets. Eighteen
months Of this remarkable state of af.
fairs have been unfortunate for the
earth, which comets have a tendency
to cool, as they pass in great num-
bers near it from one portion of the
planetary spaces to another. The
temperature OF the regions through
which comets circulate Is very low
and consequently when they ap'
proach the earth they refrigerate it
The great rarity of these heavenly
bodies during the time indicated il
supposed by Professor Dibbelmeyer tt
account for the unusual heat which
has of late been noticed in all coun
tries lying within the temperate zone

Emil Buttowsky.a barber of San
Francisco, has BEEN missing for three

left announcing his intention OF throw

From DR.. A. V. Shaw, a gentleman
of extended acquaintance on this coast,
and now a resident of London, says the
Enterprise, we have received a pair OF
beautiful Derby handkerchiefs- one
with a picture of Kisber, last winner
of the Derby, and the other with the

THE INDIAN A

Great interest now centers in the
military operations going on in the In
dian country. 1t has been announced
tor a week or more that the United
States troops were ready for the adj
vance. Right on the heels Of this
comes rnmors from Indian sources
that a great battle has actually been
fought and that the Indians under Sit
ting Bull have been almost annihilat-
ed. This story having been carried to
several places widely apart would
seem to give a coloring of truth to the
report. The account differs as to
whether IL was Crook or Terry who en-
gagged the Indians with such disastrous
results to the latter. 1t matters but little,
however, which of these gallant OFF,
GERS led the assault, SO the work was
well done. We fear most of all that
these stories have no foundation in
fact. Indeed, one account in our dis
patches is to the effect that the Indians
are making north, with fair prospects
Of eluding u troops for the season.
With so many conflicting stories afloat
it is impossible to eve guess at the
real situation, 10 we will all have to
possess ourselves in patience and await
further advices. 1t anything of unus.
ual interest has really transpired We
ought to get something definite about
1t in time for our next issue.

THE SCHOOL AMENDMENT. The
Lower House of Congress has passed,
with great unanimity, tho proposed
amendment to the Federal Coistitu-
ton, which is to forbid forever the use
OF school moneys for sectsrian pur-

now If the Senate will only act ON the
proposition favorably prior to the adj

legislatures, can ratify It this winter,
and thus permanently settle the whole
question. We would like to see Ne.

There are a great many young sprigs
in Eureka, and some,;we regret to say,
of older growth, who have within the
last few months endeavored to create
an unhealthy fashion of smoking
opium. The leaders, perhaps, have
been reading De Quincy, and the fol.
lowers have perused in the thrilling
pages of yellow-covereo novels the ex-
hilarating effects of the awful drug.
We know by name at least twenty

love, gardens and flowing waters COM

alton Let us draw a picture from
life of the Surroundings OF the Gevotee
OF 0p1uia in a frontier town. We ap-
proach over a path floored with gar
bage and vile household refuse a Chi
nese howell of the lowest kind. Hay-
gard, blear-eyed Asiaticts mieet us at
the door, and through an outer room
whose filth must be seer TO be under
stood, and the foul stencil of which
can not be e expressed in English, we are
ushered into an inner apartment
where the victims are inhaling the
fatal poison. We might expect TO find
here, VI not luxury, at least comfort;
but, nc! On two adjacent sides OF the
room are arranged hunks of imprinted
wood, furnished with bedding, whose
hue and texture time and filth have
long since obliterated; and which are
the very reveling place Of such insects
as can withstand the deadly fumes.
And stretched upon each bunk we find
m OF these wuuld-be dissipated ones
side by side with a Chinaman. And
such q Chinaman! The residents of
mining camps whose acquaintance
with the Chinese is cOnfiued to their
wasiiermen and their cooks can form
no conception of the utter filth and
horror Of this fninistero of vice, to whose
lowering fondlings the opium smoker
submits himself. He fills The oft-used.

is opiuim smoking as practiced in this
comm immunity; and through such an or
