Resolutions.

The following resolutions were passed at
the last meeting of the Yourg Peoples
Christian Temperance Union, held in the
Y M. C. A. rooms, July 23d, 1881:
Whereas, Mrs. H. O'Farrell has, for the
past three months, labored in this city as
siduously and faithfully in the cause of re-
lgion and temperance, in the face of dis
couragements and privations of no ordinary
kind; and
Whereas, She has by her constant and
uniform Christian department and zeal for
the Master, won the esteem and confidence
of all with whom she came in contact; and,
Whereas, She is now about to leave for
another field of labor; therefore,
Resolved, That in parting with Mrs
O'Farrel, we part with one who has endear-
ed herself to us by her zeal foe the cause of
true religion and temperance, and every
good work.
Resolved, That we cordially recommend
her to the sympathy and hearty co-opera-
ton of all with whom her lot may be cast.

SOME of our Democratic ex-
changes are in a frame of mind in,
teresting to contemplate. They af-
feet great astonishment that the Re
publicans have elected such sm4ll
men to the Senate from New York
We do not know so much of Senate,
Miller, but Judge Lapham is the
equal of Herman, whom the Demo
Gratis last elected to the Senate in
that State. We believe either of
them are more than Kernan's 5 equal.
1t is not lack of ability on the part
of Messrs. Lapham and Miller that
hurts the Democrats, it is the fact
that they were elected at all.

FROM FOREIGN LANDS.
News From the Old World Through
the Atlantic Ocean.


BERLIN, July 27.-Charles Chris
tian Bruins, an eminent German ass
tronomer, is dead.
LONDON, July 27.-A dispatch
from Madrid says the Cardinal -Arch-
bishop of Toledo, primate of Spain,
in a pastoral letter read in every
church of his diocease, has most vio-
lently attacked the Italian peoples
government, melting all Catholics,
even princes, statesmen, politicians
and journalists to combine and, if
necessary, use force and arms to re-
store independence and temporal
power of the pope in Rome. The
italian minister at Madrid immedi-
ateIy protested and the Spanish Cab
met declared that it severely blamed
the primate's language and would
cause strong demonstrations to be
made to him.
A dispatch from Madrid to Reu-
ter's Telegram Company says the
government has not submitted the
pastoral to the council of state, but
will verbally express to the primate
their disapproval of his language,
and will make no reply to the CONS
munication of Cardinal Jacobiri,
Papal secretary of State, on the
subject. The Spanish Ambassador
at the Vatican will, notwithstanding,
have instructions to communicate to
the Pope the regret of the Spanish
government at the Ills urbances att
tending the removal of the remains
of Plus TX.

OUR CELESTIAL GUEST.
The Comet Which the Comstoekers
Claim.

The comet which made its appear
ance in the heavens last Sunday just
over the horizon near SWift's Springs
has already been claimed by the grasp
ing inhabitants of the Comstock, who
did not discover it until last Tuesday.
The arrival of the heavenly visitor was
not expected. It came like thief in
the night and was not predicted by any
licensed astronomer. The comet has
doubtless been nearing the earth for
several weeks, but being above the
horizon in the daytime, its light would
be paled by the glare of the sun. It's
course and position makes it appear
above the horizon little later each day
and the day it got beyond the morning
light it was seen. While it is now Wis
ible little while just before morning,
it will not be long before it can be seen
in the early part of the evening and en-
joyed by those who do not care to get
up at in the morning to see it. APP
PEAL readers who are not in the habit
of rising early or going to bed late can
depend upon witnessing the exhibition
tonight without any personal incon-
venience.

MADRID, June 24.-The police On
Tuesday night seized a man in the act
of placing boom of thirty centlmeters
in diameter, charged with powder and
dynamite in a public place. Within
the last nine days about 80 explosions
have alarmed the city at night. Several
shells have also been found in churches
and letter-boxes. After six hours OBJ
stinate silence, the prisoner admitted
that he is the son of the manager of
gambling-house, who with others COM
bined in this scheme of alarm to oblige
the government todismiss the Governor
of the city and cease the prosecution of
gamblers. The authorities instantly
arrested thirty owners or managers of
gambling-houses and many fled. Three
children were mangled and MANNED
for life on Tuesday night by a shell
given them by two 'well-dressed men,
who escaped before the explosion took
place. The gamblers arrested will pro-

The TichbOrno Fraud.

The following San Francisco dispatch
if true, rather lets the wind out of the
Tichborne sensation.
The alleged heir to the Tichborne es-
tate is now known to be one Charles O..
Ferris, who lost his fingers, not in the
war, but in moving house. He worked
for some time at the Mare Island Navy
Yard, organized the Frisbie Guards, of
Vallejo, pocketed all the money for the
uniforms, and left General Frisbie in
the lurch for some ST., 800. Afterwards
he organized an expedition to 60 to Ari-
IONA, saying that VIM. G. Ralston would
provide the necessary funds, and that
all the men would need to pay would
be an initiation fee. Before he fairly
swindled them out of the fee, however,
RaIston heard of it and denounced him
as fraud, and the outraged men came
very near throwing the scamp into
Napa Bay. In the middle of the night
he embarked for San Diego, where he
has since lived.
Now that he has brought himself into
notoriety, it might be good idea to
land him in Jail for embezzling the
money of the Frisbie Guards.

To Enjoy a Quiet Swim.

The Gem OF the Sierras.

Since Lucky Baldwin took hold of the
Lake it's merits have been steadily adj
vertised. The Lake is like Mrs. Lang
try, if the papers and photographers had
not taken her up the world would never
have known of her beauty: For years
the Lake, which is now destined to be
the fashionable summer resort of the
coast, has been in the back ground for
want of enterprising management. Now
it is being widely advertised and tour
lists are swarming that way. A cores
pondent Of the Bulletin writes: "The
Yosemite, of course, is pre-eminent for
its combined grandeur and beauty, and
for the vastness of the results of natural
forces there displayed; it cannot be
compared with other places; it stands
apart and alone. Next after the Yo-
semitic, but in every way different and
unlike, Lake Tahoe is unquestionably
the gem of the Sierra"

belts for an advertisements Of an cleo
trio belt company. Now these belts
are very handy. They APPEAL re-
ceived one few months ago in trade
and utilized it by buckling it around a

direct from the telegraph office. The
printer was thus enabled to get the tel
egraph news direct and set up the dis
patches as fast as they came. The
amount of whisky he was obliged to
drink to counteract the effect of the
