SATURN AND MARS The late coniunc.
tlon Of these two bodies 10 thus described
by professor swift of Rochester: To the
naked Eye Saturn and Mars presented q
beautiful appearance. The contrast Of
color was very strong Under the tels.
scope the spectacle was inspiring. Mars
showed beSutlful red disc beside the
white globe aud rings of Saturn. Just
before sunrise the finest possible view
OF Saturn was obtained. The instrument
employed was three.inch telescope
with comet e.piece magnifying forty
five diameters, The definition was per-
feet, and the shadow of the planet proper
npon the rings WAS. to all appearance ces,
p.rfeotly black. The effect OF the
advancing sunshine was noticed with
interest. Mars retained his color we'll,
nnt gradually changed to light red OF
pink. Saturn became q ghost OF him.
selt lie assumed a pale leaden hue,
sntiicientiy pronounced. however, to dis.
tlnguish him from the light blue OF the
sunl't sky. The rings held their own,
and ry good definition OF the planet
could bs obtained by careful focusing
ana CLOSE work with the eye. The two
planets were kept in tho field OF the
telescope for four hours. or until seven
o.oiock IN the morning. At that time
'ne planets were but few minutes apart
ana presented marvellous spectacle.

for It must be where the crowd had col.

claim. The crowd was large and every
moment increasing, but being brawry
and broad shouldered pushed my way
through it, and Was almost overwhelmed
With astonishment ct the sight which
greeted my vision; it wasn't nugget, it
Was bowlder. No wonder that the
miners were excited. The spectacle was
ehougn to exotic the most phleema,ic
individual that ever breathed.
Il was solid mass OF gold as large or
larger than lsg of mutton, and not un.
like one IN shap-. This Was the mass
which has since become widely known
as the Welcome nugget, fac simils

piece OF gold ever found. This is an
error. larger uugget was foand nt

weighed lS9 lbs. OF. Troy. or 2,260 OF.
l had been mentally congratuIating
myself on the discovery OF a nugget as
large as a walnut; but the sight Of this
mass of gold took all the coucslt out of
me. Nevertheless l was glad that the
nugget had been found, for the claim
from which 1t was taken was right in the
direc ion IN which we wore working, and
our claim was daily growing richer in

The Welcome nugget, large as it was,
did not enrich its finders, for there were
tweive shareholders IN it, and 1t brought
them less than thousand p unds apiece;
it would have been lucky find for u
coupe OF mates. The man who dug 1t
out tainted dead away before he un-
earthed 1t. When his pick first struck

lump; the light from his candle shone
upon 1t and revealed its nature. To his
surprise it did not yield to bis touon.

On Saturday morning an accident 90.
CURED in the rod mill, at Johnstovp.
resulting in the almost instant death OF
Richard 0. Jones, an employs aged 90
years. A red hot wire rod became
twisted as 1t entered the rolls. The rolls
were running at the rate of 45G revolu,
tons per minute, and the twist caused
the wire to curvet through the air, one
OF the loops falling over young Jones
body. just below the ribs, and drawing
him down on his knees with his back
against the rolls, through which the wire
sped with lixhtning-like Fapidity. John
Devine, fellow workman, was standing
within few feet of the victim, but was
powerless to render any assistsnos. John
ltowley sliced an Ak, and with one blow
severed the wire, but not before it had
cut and burned it's way through the body
OF the victim. The left arm was severed
between the elbow and shoulder, and the
right between the elbow and wrist, and
a'portion Of the backbone was all that
held the body together. His bowels
were cut into small pieces. and fell out

Some time ago two notorious burglars.
named Porter and Irving. walked out Of
Brooklyn Jail and went down to Psssaic,
New Jersey. where they have since been
living comfortably, making occasional
predatory excursions to Eastern cities.
After while the Passaio police thought
the men might as we'll be sent back to
Brooklyn, SO thy notified the Brooklyn
authorities, and presently the Sheriff,
five Deputy Sheriffs, the Prosecuting
Attorney and several other officials carna
down to see about it. They w-re Joined
by the entire police force of Passalo, to
the number of twenty men, and after
due deliberation this small army pro.
ceeded to surround the house in which
the burglars were ascsrtained to be.
When they had got the house completely
surrounded the two burglars came out
Of the front door and walked down the
street and out OF town. They have not
since been seen. and the Sheriff and his
posse have returned to Brooklyn. There
have been great many brilliant police
performances recently, but this one must
take the cake.

THE TEA WE DRINK.

A representative of a tea importing
house of Baltimore called upon the Chi
nese minister at Washington, the other
day, and learned something about that
article of which the public at large is
wofully ignorant.
The callers were informed that the va
rious brands of tea sold in America and
Europe are neither known to. or used by
the Chinese, and are especially prepared
by the Chinese tea exporters for the for
eign market They are colored with chem
icals, in doing which. together with the
peculiar methods of fixing up teas for for
eign markets, the plants are rendered not
only less palatablc and beneficial. but
more expensive. This aduteration is
wholly the result of the demand for such
teas.
There is really only one variety of tea
plant, and from it both the green and
black teas are produced To the Chinese
these terms refer to the time of gathering,

As the time when the United States will

ture, it would not be unwse for tea i'm

whether the impure article is preferred to
the pure. especially as the latter is not on
