The latest local story of the difficulties
that can and will be surmounted by true
love is that in which Captain J, E. Len
nan bold sea captain, well known in
Alaska waters, and Miss Annie B. Bun
ster, daughter of Hon. A. Bunster, NJ. p,
of Victoria are the interested parties.
The young lady, who is just out of her
teens, was residing in this city with
friends, for the purpose of securing the
benefit of the high-class educational insti-
tutions of San Francisco, when she was
met by the gallant captain. When the
captain next saw the lady he proposed,
was accepted and then in Victoria sought
the father He saw him, but soon left
the house, being reminded that he was
nothing but a common sailor" and
should not aspire to an NJ. P.'s daughter.
Such rebuke did not, however, very
long retard the lovers, but rather has
tened the consumma ion of their atfec-
ton. A license was procured, the ser
vices of the Rev. W. L. Citizens, of the
Church of the Advent, were secured, and
on the afternoon of August I'd the twain
were made one. Next day the Hon. A.
Bunster was in town, but he had come
too late to arrest what he had feared.
He at once waited upon the reverend
clergyman and demanded by what au-
thority he performed the ceremony, as
the lady was not of age. Mr.. Citizens
replied that he was not acquainted with
the circumstances of the case; Captain
Lehman, attended by gentleman in good
business standing, had requested his aid;
the lady was attended by several highly
respectable lady friends, was twenty
one years, and therefore over age, and to
him everything was regular. " But |
don't recognize your laws" said the M.
P. "WhiIe in the United States you
must" said the minister. Seeing that
the clergyman was not at fault-that he
could not quarrel with the laws-Mr.
Bunster then regretted that he had ever
let his daughter leave home. Yielding
at last to the unalterable, it is said Mr..
Bunster blessed the young couple with
very bad grace. On Wednesday, the 9th
of August, Captain Lehman again sailed
for Alaska, leaving his bride in very
comfortable home on Geary street.

A Physicians Sympathy.

| 1t is told of the venera BILE DR.. c.
probably the most eminent surgeon il
this country, that while performing
operations before his class in tn,
Blockley hospital, little girl was
placed on the table. The child was I
pauper, bearing in every feature tn,
signs of want and poverty.
The operation required was amputa.
tion at the hip joint, one of the mosr
difficult in surgery. She was brought
under the influence Of an anesthetic
The surgeon rapidly explained to the
students the necessity of the operation,
and the probability under the circum.
stances, that the poor baby would die
under the knife.
He took the instruments, glanced
down at the thin, white face of the lit
tie creature, whom the world had used
so hardly, and then suddenly stopped
and kissed her on the lips.
Gentlemen, you will pardon me, -
he said, with an unsteady voice; 81 am
father"
The operation was successful, and
the child, we are glad to say, did not
die.
There is evidence that the most sue
cessful physicians have been those who
besides learning and skill, possessed
great tenderness and quick sympatLies
No profession, probably, requires the
exercise of higher sense of honor, or
finer tact. Men are apt to show to their
physician the skeletons in their homes,
and the diseases of their mind, as well
as the ailments of their bodies. There
is, perhaps, no profession in which
liberality is as constantly and secretly
practiced.
DR.. H, an eccentric, well known
in the West a few years ago, was no.
torious for his enormous charges to the
rich, and his lavish generosity to the
poor. a penniless man who employed
HIM was always sure of a comfortable
support for himself and his family as
long as he was a patient.
A Methodist clergyman who had re-
quired a costly operation ard long at
tendance raised five hundred dollars
with difficulty, and then asked the sur
geon for his bill, trembling lest the
amount would not cover it. He ex-
pected no mercy, as the doctor was
profane man, and profess
ed no love for the clergy; but the bill
was handed to him receipted.
''Did-did my-parish"-
the minister.
''No, no, paid it yourself, Want the

me do, June 1st, not one cent.
The poor minister was wont to tell l
he story with great zest for years af-
erward.

Searching for Pdpd.-A lady IN the
street met a little girl between two
and three years old, evidently lost and
crying bitterly. The lady took the
ta5y's hand and asked where she was
going.
'Down town to find my papa" was
the sobbing reply.
'What is your papa's name ?" asked
the lady.
''His name is papa"
''But what his other name? What
does your mamma call him ?''
''She calls him papa" persisted the
little creature.
The lady then tried to lead her along,
saying, "1ou had better come with me.
l guess you came from this way?"
"Yes; but | don't want to go back. /
want to find my papa" replied the lit
tie girl, crying afresh as if her heart
would break.
"What do you want with your papa ?'
asked the lady.
"I want to kiss him."
Just at this time a sister of the child,
who had been searching for her,
came along and took possession of the
little runaway. From inquiry it ap-
peared that the little ones papa, whom
she was so earnestly seeking, had re-
Gently died, and she. tired of waiting
for him to come home, had gone out TO

The father looked unhappy, while
he explained that the precept did not
apply TO any act like that, and cohclud-
ed mildly with:
You should not have done that my
child
Then he'd a whollopped me, replied
the young hopeful.
Better, said the sire, 'for you to have
fed from the wrath TO come.
Yes but replied the hopeful, by way
of final clincher, Jack can run twice

A Natural Washing Machine.

California continually develops new
wonders. The latest discovery there.
is natural washing machine, which.
as may be supposed, has been turned to
full advantage. a boiling spring has
been discovered in Tulare county
between Palvadero and Los Gatos
creek. An enterprising person has ap-
piled for the water-right, and has made
clothes wringer to be worked by a
water wheel at one side of the spring,
where it boils over into another clear
cold spring in which the proprietor ha.
placed sack of indigo. The people in
the neighborhood go to the spring to do
their washing, The soiled clothes are
thrown into the water which has
whirling motion. and are drawn out of
sight. In a few minutes they rise to
the surface, float TO the wringer and
are run through it into the second
spring, where they are rinsed by pass
ing through another wringer. This
natural laundry does its work in about
forty minutes, and one of its special
benefits is that any one can do the
washing. thus sparing women the
drudgery of day over the wash tub.
1t is particularly appreciated by wom-
en-, therefore, and number of fami-
lies in the country intend to take up
their abode near the spring, in order TO
facilitate labor. Californians daily ex-
pect to discover cove in the vicinity.
where, by some arrangement of par
tial nature. hot smooth stones roll up
and down over smooth rocky bed, so
as 20 serve as flat-irons for doing up the
washed clothes. There is always such
in nature that the IRON
ing method may be confidently looked
for. She has been so prodical to the
Golden State that she would not GER
tainly provide her with washing
springs, and omit caves where the
starching and whole doing
up process may be regulated spontane-
ously.

SCIENCE.

What is the Zodidcai Light ?-This
glowing archway across the skies, seen
so frequently at this time of the year
shortly after sunset, writes CORES
pondent of The Providence Journal, Is
one of the astronomical puzzles that
men of science are zealously trying TO
pull to pieces. Thus far their efforts
have been unsuccessful, and the un-
practiced observer who looks with sim
pie wonder and admiration upon the
elliptical glow In the evening sky
knows almost as much of its constitu-
ton and mission in the divine economy
as the wisest astronomer in the land.
Various are the theories that have been
advanced to account for the presence
of this intruder On terrestrial domain.
Some observers consider il ring of
matter revolving round the earth; 9TH
ers look upon il as collection of min
ute particles of meteoric or cometic
matter travelling around the sun in
very eccentric orbits. More recent and
more searching examination gives far
grander explanation of its origin, max
ing the Zodiacal light continuation OF
the corona, and thus indicating len
ticular-shaped atmosphere of finconceiv-
able rarity surrounding the sun and
extending out near the plane of the
eclipuc beyond the orbit OF the earth.
Our most thoughtful scientists do not
accept this view, but suggest another
even more sublime and awe-inspiring.
1t is that the whole space between the
earth and sun is filled with immense
clouds of meteoroids, and that the sun
light reflected on these cosmical atoms
of floating star-dust is the cause of the
soft celestial glow that now fingers
evening after evening in our Western
sky.

An Alpine Avalanche,

There was tremendous Alpine avalanche
on the St. Gothard route on January "a.
The long procession of sledges from the
hospice at the summit of the pass, left soon
after four o'clock, and descended towards
Alrolo. At the first great bend in the road.
not far from the little refuge house known
as San Giuseppe, the two leaders of the
caravan noticed with alarm that huge snow
mass was breaking loose from the top of the
mountain. Immediately the cry '.Back-
wards" was raised. Every one sprang
in an instant from the sledges, and rushed
up the road as fast as possible The ava
lanche thundered down, and the horses and
carriages were buried in moment under
the tremendous heap of snow. Fortunately
no one of the company lost presence of
mind, but all returned to the buried horses
and sledges, and began the work of excava-
tion with hearty good will All the horses
except two were dug out alive. The pas
sengers were too much worn out and ex-
cited to continue their journey, 50 the
horses were fastened to the sledges, and the
whole party reascended and spent the night
in the st. Gothard Hospice, where they
amused themselves with telegraphing the
news of their wonderful escape to their
friends.

The temperature Of the sun has recently
been the subject oil an able investigation
by NJ. Rossetti. He first sought TO es-
tablish the laws of radiation in relation
to the temperature. First, the radia-
ton of Leslie's cube filled with mercu-
~ and heated to 300 deg. was measured
with a thermopile and a Wiedemann
galvanometer. The formula arrived
at was tested il the case of copper ball
heated in the flames of q Bunsen burn
er to about 200 deg. to 500 deg. Fur
ther, the radiating power of various
bodies "copper", covered with lamp
black, iron, platinum, oxy-chloride of
magnesium,) heated in the Bunsen
burner or oxyhydrogen blowpipe, was
also examined, and gave satisfactory
confirmation of the formula fo- temper
ature ranging up to 240O deg. Taking
into account absorption in the earth's
atmosphere, and making observation of
the heating of thermopile by the radi-
alton of the sun, the effective tempera-
ture OF this orb was concluded TO be
1864 deg. c, or 2O,3S0.7 deg. c, ac-
cording as regard is had to the absorp-
ton by the solar atmosphere round the
photosphere or not.

provement in electric lamps, which is
intended to regulate the position of
the carbons. Instead of The usual
clock-work a fan revolves in quicksil-
yer or other liquid; other parts consists
of a magnetic coil and brake. These
are so arranged that when the carbons
consume away, and the magnetic cur
rent is weakened, the brake releases a
disc and the carbon points approach
each other. The whole apparatus acts
automatically. The lamp Chus devised
has been employed by Herr Won krupp

been so satisfactory that the light is be-
ing extended tC other parts of the es-
