A San Francisco Chronicle reporter
has been interviewing Senator Sharon on
financial matters. We append some of
the Senators replies;
do you think specie payment a
possibility of the near future?"
81 cannot say that it will soon be
realized, but see nothing in the way OF
speedy resumption if the Government
sees fit to pursue the proper course.
Let five per cent. of the bonds be sold
in foreign markets and let $500, 900, 0OO
of outstanding greenbacks be at once re-
deemed in silver. The greenbacks are
not redeemable at any given time, and
they are worth nothing. except that the
Government is supposed to stand behind
them. They should be at once wiped
out and silver should occupy theil
place."
"But would not this course unsettls
all commercial values?"
II do not know that it would. The
thing should be done. however, letting
the public take care of its own in
terests."
"Will not the redemption of the frac
tional currency with silver of small de
nomination gradually lead to specie pay
| ment2"
at seems to me that temporary relie
will thereby be afforded. The entir,
volume of greenback currency SHOULD
| be removed from circulation withou
delay"

LIGHT HrADED.-A light headed man
can now be seen walking our streets in
listless sort of way, and fears are enter
tanned, by those who have noted the
fact. that he will not long preserve his
equilibrium. He threw at US heterogene-
Gus mass of inconsistent stuff in unday's
Jo,unal-and that.was the cause OF it.
His mental caliber could not stand the
strain, hence the pitiable object now
presented to the public when he puts in
an appearance on the street. He is sup
posed to be versed in legal lore--but no
one has found it out yet. He is also
supposed to have talents of rare order
and he should Foster them, otherwise
the world might be the loser. This
legal light presumes to know thing or
two, in fact he makes accusations. 1t is
no part of our purpose to father any
thing true or false this wiseacre may
draw forth from the nusty corners OF
his Uranium. The RECORD, we would
have the gentleman (?) understand, is
not published by those who formerly
controlled it, consequently any charge
fails to have the desired effect. In the
plainest language at command we venture
the suggestion that the gentleman (2) is
guilty OF deliberate falsehood (the
word spelled with four letters expresses
our meaning better) when he insinuates
that we have any knowledge of the cir
cumstance of which he speaks. As for
our Commissioners it would have been
better for Lincoln County had those who
preceded them in Office performed their
!, duty SO ably and we'll az the present
Board has done. Neither of the
reputed" editors Of the RECORD are
responsible for this article.

SAN Francisco, FEB. 2l.-The prepar-
alton for the big race is nearly complete.
Foster came down from Sacramento,
where he has been training. Saturday
night and is now at the Bay District Fair
Grounds. Hockhocking NAY be here
this evening. The other horses at the
track were worked yesterday morning
and showed up in good condition. The
arrangements for the race have been
thoroughly and carefully made. Every
precaution will be taken to prevent dis
turbancs. A strong police force will be
on the ground to suppress hoodlumism.
The Chronicle yesterday in an item
concerning the race says it is understood
that Hockhocking would not start. This
statement would seem premature, as
upon the authority of Mr.. Simpson that
he has never had any intention of
Withdrawing the horse. Hockhocking is
in prime condition for the race and will
certainly start.

A Domestic Tragedy.
From the Boston Courier.

With fierce energy she strobe to the
window, dashed back the rattling blind,
and peered into the inky darkness.
But her burning chances failed to pierce
the pall-like blackness that enshrouded
the deserted streets. Tearing up the
hall register, and detaching the pedal
from new sewing machine, she laid
them on hassock, and resumed her
weary watch. The storm without
ragged with wild fury, driving the sleet
across Charles River with force and
velocity that was appalling. The night
waned, and she sat wan and haggard.
CHAPTER II.
An abandoned-looking man, with a
crimson nose, tattered Ulster, and fear
full assures in his trousers, was waltzing
with uncertain steps through one of the
grand avenues of the Lower Port. Ever
and anon the graceless man would NUT
ter to himself: "I-hic-wonderifth
oldwoman'sup?" Bracing himself, he
reached home, and was trying to pick
the door-lock with an empty flask,
when the door was opened from within.
Then there came wild cry for mercy,
heard high above the horrid, raging
elements, waking up two policemen,
and-and then all was quiet.

A New Use for Photography.

DR.. Vogel, of Berlin, gives an &C
count of a curious novelty devised b
a French physician, which may ulti-
mately result in an altogether new and
useful application of photography. It
consists of a fame burning at an open
ing made in the head Of drum of
some very elastic membrane. Any
noise, as by speaking, singing, etc, sets
the membrane in vibration, which vi
bration is communicated to the flame.
If now rotating mirror is placed be.
hind the fame, and revolved at the
proper rate Of speed, a succession of
intricate figures is thrown upon the
wall or a screen, which figures vary &C
cording to the sounds emitted It has
been suggested that by employing a
flame of high chemical intensity, the
figures produced by it in the mirror
might be photographically, reproduced
upon a properly prepared sensitive sur
face passed before the mirror at the
proper rate of speed. Carrying the
idea little further-that is to say,
should it be possible to interpret the
images thus continuously produced
we will then be able to take down
speeches, addresses, etc., Photographic
ally instead Of reporting them steno-
graphically, as is now the CUSTOM
Hda7oer's Magazine.

An IS Awful a" Story.

There was once an awful little girl,
who had an awful ways of saying cav
full" to everything. She lived in an
awful house, in an awful street, in an
awful village, and was an awful distance
from every other awful place. She
went to an awful school, where she had
an awful teacher, who gave her awful
lessons, out of awful books. Every
day she was so awful hungry that she
ate an awful amount of food, so that
she look awful healthy. Her hat was
awful small, and her feet were awful
large. She went to an awful church,
and her minister was an awful
preacher. When she took an awful
walk, she climbed awful hills, and when
she got awful tired, she sat down I'M
der an awful tree to rest herself. In
summer she found the weather awful
hot, and in winter awful cold. When
it didn't rain there was an awful
drought, and when an awful drought
was over, there was an awful rain. So
that this awful girl was all the time in
an awful state, and if she does
not get over saying lawful"
about everything, she will, by the by,
come to an awful end. And this awful
little girl lives in this awful city .-CS1a-

Settlers and Railroad Land Grants.

The following is the full text of a
bill passed by the United States House
of Representatives relative to homestead
and pre-emption entries within land
grant limits. The bill was passed with
out amendments just as if it came
from the Senate, and will therefore be-
Presidents signature. It does not con-
firm, but, On the contrary, entirely re-
verses the ruling Of Secretary Dclano-
that railroad grants can take effect
prior to the reception at the local land
officers and notices Of withdrawal:
Be 1t enacted etc., That all pre-emption
and homestead entries, or entries in COM
pliance with any law in the United States,
of the public land, made in good faith by
actual settlers upon tracts of land of no
more than 160 acres each, within the limit
of any land grant prior to the time when
notice of withdrawal of the lands embraced
in such grant was received at the local land
office of the district in which such lands are
situated or after their restoration to mar
ket by an order of the general land office,
and where the presumption and homestead
law have been complied with, and proper
proofs thereof have been made by all par
ties holding such tracts or parts, they shall
De confirmed, ana patents TOR the same
shall issue to the parties entitled thereto.
Sec. 2. That when at the time Of such
withdrawal as afore said valid REDEMPTION
or homestead claims existed upon any lands
within the limits Of such grants, which af-
forwards were abandoned, and under the de-
cisions and rulings of the land department
were re-entered by presumption or homet
stead claimants who have complied with
the laws governing presumption or home
stead entries, and shall make proper proofs
required under such laws, such entries shall
be deemed valid, and patent issue to the
persons entitled thereto.
Sec. 3. That to all such e-emption and
made by permission Of the land department
or in pursuance of the rules and instructions
thereof within the limits Of any land grant
at the time subsequent to the expiration of
such grant, shall be deemed valid, and a
compliance with the laws and the making
of the proofs required shall entitle the
holder of the claim to patent therefor.
