Astronomical.

The planets Mars and Saturn rose
nearly at the same time, before one
o'clock this morning and very close to
each other, the usual dull leaden
color of Saturn presenting a greenish
appearance on this occasion, the effect
being produced by the rudy blaze Of
Mars. The two planets will be in
close conjunction near two O'Clock
this afternoon, but the phenomenon
will only be visible to the people of
Australia where the darkness of night
will render the spectacle exceedingly
brilliant and interesting to those fond
of star gazing.

The ZnIn ..Assepni,,

Several persons hereabouts are un-
familiar with the ~favorite weapon Of
the Zulus, the %assegai, and a number
have asked what it is like. The shaft
Of this instrument of warfare is about
five feet long and as thick as a mans
little finger. 1t is made of wood
known to botanists as the curtissa
joginea, not unlike the mahogany,
brittle and elastic, the latter quality
giving the spear a vibratory motion,
on which its accuracy Of fight de-
ponds. The head of the weapon is
generally blade shaped, with a raised
edge along the center, concave on one
side and convex on the other, being
like the feathers of an arrow. The
tong of the head is made red-hot, and
so burns its way into the wood, around
which a band Of wet rawhide is bound:
that contracting as it dries holds the
mead as firmly as an iron ring. The
Zulus fling these weapons with great
accuracy, and they carry oval rawhide
shields i%mpervious to these darts to
cover their entire bodies. Besides
three or four missile %assegais a Zulu
soldier carries a shorter and stronger
stabbing assegai.

EDITOR LEDGER Your CORE
spondent Adams Street" says in your
paper Of the 18th in reply to an article
signed "Taxpayer' "They would sup
pose from his reference thereto Ia
smoke. house at the head Of Adams
street, that the gentleman who owns
it carried the new city government in
his breeches pocket"
For the benefit of"Adams Street" |
wish to say that it is the belief and
general talk among the people of this
district that tho new city government
is not carried in the breaches pocket
of this gentleman, but in the pockets
of the estimable lady of the gentleman
who owns the smoke-house at the
head of Adams street, and that this
pious lady gets the credit or the
blame, as the case may be, for the
strict enforcement Of the Sunday
laws. | am not able to say how true
or false this popular belief is, but am
inclined to think that where there is
much smoke there must be some fire.

The LittIe VIctIm,s Family.

OF all the pitiful sights ever exhib-
tied, that of the Sherwood family, in
the old latboat at the foot of Beal
street, is one Of the most touching.
Throughout yesterday Mrs. Sherwood
lay on a mattress, in spasms or deliri-
Gus, and suffering great agony. Her
youngest child, a girl of six years
pale, emaciated and hardly anything
but skin and bones-lay near, very i'll
with chronic spinal meningitis, from
which it can hardly recover, and near
by was the poor girl SO cruelty ~lacera-
ted and injured by the inhuman mon
ster, johnson, on Friday night last.
A great many people visited the boat
yesterday, and a few small contribu-
tons we're made to supply immediate
necessities. In their helpless and bed
ridden condition the family is certain
ly an object worthy of the attention of
philanthropic citizens, The injured
girl at sunset last evening appeared to
show slight improvement. She was
free from fever, and, while in great
pain, appeared calm and resigned. The
physicians in attendance are now Of
the opinion that her chances to recov-
or are good.

Los PNos, Dec 6.-Saturday witnessed
some decidedly animated occurrences at the
commissioners meeting The Utes came in
side the Agency building at noon among them.
river Utes Gen. Hatch addressed the In
dams setting forth the full demands OF the
commissioners and their determination to
wait no longer, and put the question whether
they would deliver up for trial the II Indians
asked for. The Indians consulted among
themselves, but did dot seem inclined to repG
at all when Hatch again asked if the guilty
Indians were to be surrendered. No one
moved orspoke for a few moments when Colo
row lighted the pipe of peace and each In
dian present drew his knife and laid 1t on ms
knees. Colorow then passed the pipe to the
next man without smoking it andit Went
around. When the circle was finished he
jumped to his feet, pulled his knife out and
threw it forcibly on the floor quivering and
ringing. Instantly every Indian laid his hand
anne and the two parties stoed fronting and
defying each other for some moments, each
waiting for the other to move. Finally Ouray
said: "We cannot deliver up the Indians I'M
less they are tried in Washington. They must
not be tried in Colorado. Colorado people are
all our enemies, and to give them up to be
tried in this State would be to surrender them
to be hanged. We will bring them here and
those you decide guilty shall be taken to
Washington, and the President shall de-
termine their guilt or innocence. Douglas
will have to 60 We know he was in the
White river troubles, and you Shall decide
who else. Upon this condition and no other
will we surrender the guilty Indians"
Gen. Hatch accepted the condition subject
to advices from Washington. Colorow and
Jack we're dispatched to bring in the Indians
called for and will return with them in five
DAYS.
