The splendid mountain lake, the

pond in the desert, and the grand
old peaks of the SierraS will lift up
their bald heads to the sky the very
emblems Of desolation, The snow
that falls on them during the win
ter months will dissolve almost in
stantly when exposed to the hot
rays Of the summer sun and pass
off in a body to flood the valleys
below. This done, Carson Valley
will be left a barren waste for the

TeIescape Fish.

A number Of curious gold and
silver fish from China, called "tele-
scope fish," have just been acquired
by the Brighton company. The
popularity of these fish is the
prominent position of the eyes,
which project a considerable dis
lance from the head. This feature
is not natural, but an artificial de-
formity, produced, no doubt, by
breeding from deformed fish aoci-
dentally injured in the first in
stance. The body is rounded in
form, and the tail is connected
with it by a prolongation of the
eaudal fins on each side, giving it
the appearance Of having two tails,
or rather Of a trailing appendage,
like a mantel. The FISH are Guilt
waited by the Chinese and kept for
ornamental purposes in aquaria,
These particular specimens are
from about an inch to three inches
in length. When full grown the
fish are said to attain a weight of
six or eight pounds. These fish
are really only a variety of common
"gold fish" or golden carp, SO COM
mon in aquaria, which also origi-
mated in China.

Charlotte IN. c. Observer
1t was stated in yesterdays issue
that the negro who committed the
rape upon the little white girl near
Jefferson, S. c., has been caught
near the Arson county line and
taken to South Carolina. We
learned to-day that when the party
who had him in charge arrived at
Jefferson, a crowd of three or four
hundred people, including both
negroes and whites, collected, and
the question of hanging him on
the spot where the rape was COM
mitted was discussed. 1t was finally
decided to settle the matter by q
vote, A line was drawn, and all
who were in favor of hanging were
requested to pass to one side of it.
Every person in the crowd, includ-
ing the wife of the negro, came over
except one. When informed of his
fate he confessed the crime, telling
the same story as that given by the
little girl, without having heard her
report Of it. He was then taken
to a tree near by and hung till he
was dead. From all we can hear
there was no undue influence
