uOPICS OF THE DAY.

Queen Victoria's drawing-room is q
dismally ceremonious thing; but tho
last time it was held there was a pretty
bit of youthful brightness visible. Be.
tween the folding-doors at the end OF
the gallery peeped and peered Alexan-
dra's three small daughters, their spark
ling faces and dancing eyes little &C
cording with the deep court mourning
they wore.

Within a few years the expectation of
apples from this country to France has
enormously increased. 1t is now said
that considerable part of this useful
product comes back in the form of Nor
mandy cider and light claret. Late
frosts are reported to have injured the
French apple crop, and of course this
country will be expected to supply the
deficiency in accordance with its usual
custom of providing for the worlds
wants.

In his recent lecture at the national
fishing exhibition in Norwich, England,
Professor Huxley said great many in
teresting things about that prolific and
valuable friend of man, the herring.
He described this fish as occupying a
place in natural history almost unique
in itself, which still to certain extent
puzzles biologists. Practical men may
have little difficulty in determining
whether given fish is herring or not;
but scientific biologists, looking little
deeper, have not always succeeded in
drawing hard and fast line between
the herring, the sprat, the shad and the
pilchard. One thing is certain, that,
by whatever name the fish is called, the
numbers on the English coast are enor-
nous, and so long as climatic conditions
remain the same, the supply is practi-
cally inexhaustible. Calculating by the
evidence of fishermen, "shoal =" of
herring may contain more than 500, 900,
900 fish, and as many shoals are OBJ
served year after year, not only on the
English coasts, but on those adjacent,
the number of good herrings in any one
year must be reckoned by billions.

There is always satisfaction in seeing
man of science avoid technicalitics
and come light down to good old Anglo
Saxon speech. And while so many scatter
Drained impostors are endeavoring to
scare people into the belief that the
planets are going to wreck the world
during this year of grace, there is solid
comfort in the following letter written
by Professor Young, OF Princeton, n.
j., to Nebraska inquirer: "Dear Sir
1t is true that Saturn, Jupiter and
Venus are near conjunction and I. near
its perihelion. But they have no influ-
ence whatever of any sort on the earth.
The nonsense talked about the matter
is worthy of the dark ages. Two TOM
cats fighting in the streets OF Pekin will
disturb the world more than all mag
Unable planetary coniunctions. Yours,
CA. Young" That letter ought to
keep many good half-dollar out of the
pockets of peripatetic philosophers who
are going about the country lecturins
to the credulity of ignorant people"
1t is discouraging to learn that of all
the essays submitted to the judges who
were appointed to award the interna-
tional prize of two thousand marks, Of
fered by the Empress Augusta of Aus
tria, for the best work on diphthcria,
not one contained any new fact with re-
gard to the origin, nature or treatment
of the disease, and that the prize was,
therefore, not awarded. new offer is
now made to the medical profession
throughout the world, for experiment
al researches into the cause OF diphthe-
ria, accompanied by essays upon the
practical deductions to be derived from
those Investigations. The committee
will give the decision upon the works
offered in this new competition upon Sep
TENDER 80, 1882. The money value OF
the prize will, OF course, furnish no in
ducement to learned and skillful men
to prosecute this inquiry, but the hope
of doing great service to humanity,
and the fame which would follow a
valuable contribution to the meager
knowledge of this scourge ought to in
sure important results from the compe-
tition.

Captain Gillespie Lost i'm Pana.

The Inyo Independent Of Aug. 10 says:
From AL. Robinson, who was in from
Panamint during the week, we learn some
thing OF another loss of life in Panamint
Valley, one of the distressing circum-
stances which are reported each Summer
from Panamint and Death Valleys. Some
three weeks ago Captain I'll. W. Gillespie,
from San Francisco, left Darwin on the
blackboard to go to wibbett's in the Slate
Range, and got off at the mouth of Shep-
herds canyon, intending to follow the trail
on foot some three miles to the mines.
The late rains pretty much obliterated the
trail. and it appears that he lost his way
altogether, and has not been heard OF
since. A party from the mine set out in
search Of him, and followed his trail into
the middle Of the valley, where the wan
dering man turned back, and thereafter
all trace Of his course was lost. Up to last
Saturday the party had been searching for
ten days, with no result. We have at
present writing no further particulars, ex-
cept that Captain Gillespie was employed
at the Shows Canyon works last Winter,
and at that time somehow got lost in the

some feature or condition unaccountable
about this thing of getting lost in Death
and Panamint valleys. 1t is a common
thing for those unused to traversing them,
yet the experienced relief parties going
after lost men have no trouble in hunting
day after day for the demented wanderers.
One man who had been rescued just in
time to save his life states that after sue
cumbing to the heat, thirst, peculiar infiu-
ence or perhaps h~allucination, he remem-
bers leaving the road-became bewildered,
and at every few steps before him appeared

than he will where the article is plenty"

WARD ITEMS.
The Reflections of u Week as Re-
nected in the Reflex of Saturday.

Jas. Johnson, the driver between Ward
and Phoebe, got too much tarantula juice
aboard on the 10Th, and before reaching
Parker's station threw the baggage of Mrs.
Poujade and another passenger off the
stage and drew q ~six-shooter upon them.
They finally persuaded him to allow them
TO ride to the next station, and before
reaching there Mrs. Poujade managed to
get possession of his ~six-shooter and gave
it to the gentleman passenger. He was
kept under control after a fashion from
that point to Phoebe. The driver was
promptly discharged.
A late arrival from Osceola says that
Prof. Davis, OF the U. 8. Geodetic Survey,
attempted to reach the summit of JEFF
Davis Peak a few days ago but was COM
PEELED to give it up and content himself
with lower attitudes. A later report says
he has since tackled" it by the long route.
On Wednesday night the Professor gave a
pyrotechnic display that resembled heat
lightning from this place, which is IS miles
from the peak.
The ground in the upraise from the
Martin White Tunnel having become ex-
ceedingly dangerous, and q cave Of no
small proportions having taken place,
Foreman Smell, who at present has charge
of the works, deemed it advisable to stop
work in the raise Thursday last and make
connection from above. At the time work
was stopped the drills could be plainly
heard from the upper works.
VIM. B~orthwick, who left here on the
18th for San Francisco to see his brother,
who was reported to be dying. writes us
that he arrived too late; that his brother
died on the 12th. he leaves a daughter 3

for 81, 900.
The remainder of the machinery for the
Monitor Mill, on Steptoe Greek, is ex-
pected to arrive Monday. All being in

| getting all the machinery ON the ground.
Thos. Gillen passed through yesterday
from Wood River or his way to Bristol
| He is not disguised with the country by
any means and may return. The grea'
| drawback at present Is the scarcity Of

Patsy was well known to many miners in
Eureka. He spent some days here about
one year since. Ho was in'poor health at

change that might prove beneficial. He
was an upright, generous-hearted, good

the undertaken had neglected to pre-
pare rough box In which to
place the coffin, and great indignation
was expressed by all persons at the burial
grounds at this neglect, more especially so
because the undertaken charges such out
rageously enormous prices for everything

THE TRAGEDY AT rRUCKEE.
Particulars of the Killing Of Nc
CleIIan by L0nRstreef.

\ W
The telegraph announced briefly the late
shooting at Truckee. The Silver State OF
Monday contains the following full par
t~iculars Of the affair: A shooting ARRAY
occurred at Truckee yesterday afternoon.
which resulted in the death Of Mcclellan,
the three card monte man who operated
with "Slim Jim along the railroad, max
ing his headquarters here and at Battle
Mountain some years ago. The circum-
| stances which led to the fatal ARRAY and
the manner in which Mcclellan was killed
are related by an eye witness as follows
Mcclellan arrived in Truckee q short time
ago in rather destitute circumstan ces. He
gambled q little occasionally. Friday
| night he won about $50, and next morn
ing went into Moody's Hotel to settle for
his board and borrowed money, which
Moody had from time to time given him.
While he was at the counter paying his
bill q gambler named Longstreet came in
and dunned Mcclellan for 50 so. McClel-
Ian turned around and said he would pay
him after a while, which did not appear to
satisfy Longstreet. About this time q pis-
toll fell on the floor from the pocket Of a
drunken man in the bar-room. Long
street picked it up and struck Mcclellan
several times over the head, when they
were finally separated. Saturday night
they again met in Hurd's saloon when some
angry words took place. Longstreet told
Mcclellan that he had better fix himself as
he was beeled. Yesterday afternoon they
net again on the street. Nc. asked Long
street if he was fixed. Longstreet replied
that he was not, and Nc. remarked that he
(Mc.) was, and turned away to cross the
street. As soon as Nc. turned his back
Longstreet pulled his pistol, took aim and
said, Eyes, you s. of a b. / am liked for
you" and fired. The ball took effect in
Mes back just above the kidneys and
passed through his body. Mcclellan pulled
his pistol and turned around, when q sec
ond shot from Longstreet struck hm in
the head, causing a slight wound, the ball
having glanced. Nc. fell MORALLY wounded.
After he turned he fred two shots at Long
street; one took effect in the leg below and
the other above the knee. McClellan's
strength failed him 30 quickly he could
not raise his pistol high enough. Nc. was
carried to a drug store and died in half an
hour. An inquest will be held ct 10 O'Clock
this morning. Longstreet wal also taken
to the same drug store to have his wounds
dressed, and sat in a chair four feet from
Nc. when the latter expired. The shoot
ing was witnessed by a large crowd OF peo-
pie, who utterly condemn Longstreet.
Lynching was freely talked of, but the
officers have taken steps to guard against
any such movement. Nc. had made many
friends during his stay at Truckee, and had
the reputation Of being very peaceable."

the Contract for Ties.

1t will be remembered that superinten-
dent Goss advertised for bids to furnish
the ties for the first as miles Of the new

learned. A portion OF the ties will proba-
bly, be gotten out along the line OF the
road, aud the rest must be imported from
Truckee. 1t ia quite a heavy job to fur

Is among those Interested that sadler is
likely to get away with the baggage. Now
that Superintendent Goss has returned,
