A RIDIcULous CAPRIcE.-A week ago
Nine. Janauschek narrowly escaped losing
her diamonds by leaving them in hack,
and it was mentioned that among these
gems were four, valued at S45. 0C0, which
had been presented to her by the Gar
Nicholas ard the Queen of Bavaria. 1t is
curious phase OF modern times, this dis.
position to lavish on the feminine stars of
the opera and theater the costliest gifts in
addition to their magnificent earnings, and
lie, moreover, very ridiculous caprice of
extravaganza. No persons in the world
are so we'll paid as these, and the only
merritt merit it be-which can be &C.
corded to them is that, in view of great
pecuniary prizes, they do their best to i'm
prove their natural abilities. Nobody, we
believe, sends Rosa Bonheur diamond
bracelets because she has painted good
pictures, or lavished jewels on Mrs. Somer-
vile because she was profound scientist,
or on George Eliot because she wrote good
novels, and while there are millions of de-
serving women wanting help, this bespat-
tering of singers and actresses with dia-
monds is decidedly to be deprecated.

along the Humboldt river-but have been re-
leased one after another without identified

generally with the description given of Law

has iight compile zicn, small, sharp gray eyes
slightly crossed, aud white eyelashes and eye
brows. He seems about 30 years old. Hs
has q hyena lock, by which he might be taken
for murderer under any circumstances, but
in addition to his general likeness to Lawton,

Besides, there is 8 man in Eureka, whose

Of prudence, who says he is ready to swear
that this is the ver;table Tom Lawton, as he
knew him in Sacramento. This man pointed
out the cuipris to the Sheriff and gave the

MARRYING DECEASED WIRES SISTER.
There has been considerable local discussion
in reference to the propriety of man mar
rying his deceased wife's sister. The Bishop
OF Albany is known to entertain strong
views on the subject, Directing seriously
to such union. On the other hand there
have been strong reasons assigned why
marriage of this kind is unobjectionable,
Mr.. Gale, CT Troy, writing particularly
vigorous reply to the Bishops pamphlets.
We notice that the question is to be agi-
tated again this winter in Canada, where
it has popped up internationally for debate
ever since the year 1850, when society
was organized for the express purpose of
securing the repeal of the law touching the
matter in question. The Act introduced
by the reformers passed the lower Canadian
house last year, but failed in the Senate.

SPIDERS SKILL AS AERoNaurs.

1t is reported that a shower of spider
webs fell at Green Bay, Wis. As matter
of fact, such things are of frequent occur
renee IN northern countries during the
month of October. Spiders were the first
balloonists, the first of the animal creation
not furnished with wings to navigate the
air. The spider is a migratory ANIMAL
bird of passage" as it were. They make
for themselves wings and fly away to warm
climates upon the approach of winter, and
return again in the spring. When the
season for moving arrives they post them
selves upon the tops of fences, or in other
elevated positions In an open space, and
there prepare their balloons, or nails, or
wiDgs-call them what You please. The
spider is a scientific meteorological. He is
versed in atmospheric currency. He may
not be'able to read the figures on barom-
eter, but he knows perfectly well when the
atmosphere is dense, and when it is rare.
he never undertakes an aerial journey
during calm or In a rareified atmosphere.
He waits for a gentle breeze from the
north, and for a normal condition of
the atmosphere, and then cuts his cables
and floats off to the south at the rate of
six to ten miles per hour. Not infre-
quently spiders travel in pairs, and some-
times half dozen are carried together in
the "basket" of the balloon constructed
by their joint labors. Should Mr.. Spider
be caught in a gale, or in an adverse cur
rent, or should his balloon be about to
pass over large body of water the Gulf
of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, the Med
iterranean or the German Ocean, for exam
ple-be can cut himself loose, his basket
becomes parachute and he falls to the
ground without injury. Should an army
of migratory spiders strike region of
calm and rarefied atmosphere, the web
will no longer float, but will descend to
the earth, thus producing "sAower of
spider webs" Such things are not un-
common-so common, in fact, as to very
seldom attract notice. Now, we have told
you what we know about spiders. The
city reader is not bound to believe word
of the story. But let him or her who
doubts go into the country any warm day
in autumn =" Indian summer = when
there is gentle breeze from the north, and
if hundreds, perhaps thousands, of flying
spiders are not seen, then set US down as a
Louisiana liar" Whoever proposes to
invent flying machine should take his
first lesson from the spider.-[Columbus

Railroad Matfers-CoaI Discoveries.

SEATTLE, December 9th.-The Egening
Chronicle claims to be reliably informed that
there are now seven parties of railroad sur.
veyors in the immediate vicinity of SnoGual.
ME Pass. who do not belong to the North
Pacific Railroad Company, but who are
thought to be employed by the Utah North
ern. There are no doubts, it adds, that two
parties are at the place indicated, and that
they are not the Northern Pacific men. The
only question of uncertainty Is whether they
are operating for the 0. L. or some other
company.
The same paper is further informed of four
different companies. each having many men
employed in securing coal lan1s on Green
river and in opening veins of coal. Diff
critics between the forces of the different
companies are Of frequent occurrence.
The Oregon Improvement Company and
Northern Pacific had quite wrangle about
piece of land recently. The Northern Pa
ci6c men drove the Oregon Improvement
Company's employees Of, but the last-narned
went and secured reinforcerents to the ex-
tent of seventeen men, armed with rifles, and
coming back, put to flight the employees Of
the frst-named company. Thus far no one
has been hurt.
The different named companies have found
exceIlent coal, i-5ituminous, in great
abundance. The veins average all the way
from two to eight feet in width, the whole
region being thoroughly prospected, and it 10
bsing found that King county is almost one

EUgEKA, December 9th.-At the head OF
The Prospect mountain tunnel body of ore

cannot be determined except by further de-
yelopn.ents. The point of the strike is about
]. $50 feet from the mouth of the tunnel, and
is about 920 feet on vertical line to the sur
face. No more Information could be def
nitsly obtained with regard to the strike than
that in blasting the whole lower face of the
tunnel.head presented continuous mass of
galena ore, carrying rich carbonstss. No as
says hsye as yet been made, and hence the
value of the ore cannot be accurately deter
mined; but that it is very rich there can be
no doubt. To-day enough will be found out
TO determine what is generally taken for
granted here as a fixed fact-that is, that the
iong-looked-for and patiently-labored-fo boz
nanzs has at last been encountered. Day by
day we are brought nearer and nearer to the
conviction that Prospect mountain Is one OF
the most extensive and most valuable mineral
belts in the world. 1t has always been
suggested by the doubling Thomases
that the Eureka ore deposits were
confined mainly to the surface, and
that they would not hold out in quantities as
depth was attained. This bit of skepticism
is low knocked on the head, for the best finds
have been uncovered SO far at the greatest
depths. This assertion is not an idle puff,
but is confirmed by the recent magnificent
ore body uncovered in the Eureka tunnel,
which improves daily with every blast and
stroke of the pick, backed up by the discov-
cry Of yesterday, which in all likelihood will
turn out IS extensive and valuable as the
