that vouchsafes thrift and perpetuiy. Does not the

A HUGE SrIcK.-The Gold Hill

largest stick of timber evor brought
to tho Comstock was recently re-
ceived at the new Yellow Jacket
works, cast of tho second railroad
tunnel. It is to ho used as a chord
for the pump-bob, and it's dimen-

The weight is 2l,900 pounds, and
the freight from San francisco

wero required to transport this
stick, and it cost twenty dollars to
load it. The timber came from
Oregon, and cost over 5000 de-

EVERYBODY KNEW that another
four years of the hell which Grant
organized in Louisiana and South
Carolina would not be tolerated by
tho public opinion of the country.
Nobody knew this better than
Grant himself and he knew it so
well that within forty eight hours
Of hin retirement from Office he
gave formal notice to Packard and
Chamberlain that tho maintenance
OF sham governments by bayonet
power had become offensive to the
moral sense Of the whole country,
and that ordors had been issued for
the withdrawal of the military sup~
port from tho protcnders If, under
these circumstances and with this
knowledge, any Republicans in
Congress sought to bind Mr.. Hayes
by pledges to defy public opinion,
undo the orders that Grant had
issued, perpetuate carpet baggery,
and repudiate the contracts made
by Stanley Matthews and Foster,
they simply asked him to make
himself utterly infamous by a
breach of faith without parallel in
its atrocity.-Chicago T. imes.
a ScIENTIsT's THEORY OF THE
WEATHER.-A New Orleans gentle
man, who recently arrived in this
city after extensive travels in South
America for scientific purposes,
accounts for the remarkable weather
of the past few months on the scoro
of volcanic action. He said that tho
volcanoes of the western ranges of
mountains, more particularly the
Cordl1leras, have been very active
during the last year. The rivers
having their source in that locality
have b cen perceEtibly affected by
such disturbances. It has been
noticeable fact that tho waters of
the Amazon and the Rio del Platte,
and their tributaries, have been
greatly increased in temperature.
He holds that these waters, after
being discharged into the ocean on
the eastern coast, have affected the
Gulf Stream, which, as is known, has
been largely increased in volume,
and that in the influence of the Gulf
stream on the climate will be found
the true cause of the unusual
moderation which has been so sur
prising this winter.-Ncw York
