THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The Republican senatorial caucus adj.
iourned LATE this evening, after continu-
Gus session OF seven hours, and tie mos, in.
tense interest prevailed TO ascertain what
had been done and how it had been done.
Before anything definite could be found out
there were wild rumors that the session was
stormy, and that Mr.. ConklIug had made a
most violent speech. Your correspondent
learned, however, from those who know.
that the session was not stormy, and that
MIR. Conkling's speech was a powerful and
serious effort, but not at all violent. All
the subjects connected with the situation
were discussed during the debate, and near
~ every senator participated ii. No con-
clusion was reached on any subject, and
the caucus adjourned TO meet tomorrow
morning. There are great many people
at all the hotels tonight, and in spite Of the
oppressive weather they are discussing the
situation.

Steamboat Railr0ading
GridleN Herald

During the late foods Conduc-
tor James Hatch, of the Oregon
division, was delegated by the
Central Pacific railroad to run a
steamer between Sacramento and
Marysville. He made one trip
and discharged the duties SO well
that the company. we are told,
presented him with a commission
as Rear Admiral in its naval de-
partmeRt on the retired list. Dur
ing the trip, however, the gentle
man had such a thorough expert
ence in navigation that he con-
tracted the habit of using nautical
terms. Friday evening last Hatch
was back in his own place as con-
ductor on the passenger train.
When he arrived at the station
everybody was surprised TO hear
him sing out: "Make fast to that
stump! heave out the gang-plank!
Lively here, my larkies!" A gen.
eral smile ensued, but nothing was
said, as nobody knew what Hatch
had been at during the aood.
When the train was about to de-
part he yelled, Cast eff the main
line! Haul away on the gang
plank! Coil that rope on the fore
castle poop and reef up the caps
tain! Yo, heave! my lads; away
she goes"

{. B. Hayon commenced suit
recently in San Francisco against
the Western Union telegraph
company to recover $4,000 dam
ages for alleged neglect in not
sending a certain telegram to
Thomas Mayon, at Amador city,
which was in the following words:
"Hold We'll; home Sunday"
The complaint alleges that We'll
was the owner of the Talismsn
mine, located in Amador county;
that in November, 1880, he exc.
cuted a bond to plaintiff to sell the
mine for $4,000 in two months
and plaintiff was prevented from
making the purchase OF the mine
by reason Of defendants not send,
ing the dispatch. The complaint
also alleges that We'll now refuses
to sell the mine for less than $40,
OOo; wherefore plaintiff asks judg
ment in the above amount.

Peter Cooper. of New York, ,

Peter Cooper, of New York, was
ninety years of age on the 18th
instant. True 10 his charitable
instincts, he made the event
memorable by giving $4,000 to
the institute which bears his name,
besides handing the trustees re-
ceipted bills for $4,000, expended
in various ways. He also put aside
$4,000 for the support of poor
children. No wonnder he is
honored, by the people among
whom he lives, and who partake SO
largely OF his generosity.

Scientific Scraps.

The severe weather experienced
in Prussia has delayed the com
pletion of the Siemens Halskie
electric railway at Berlin. 1t was
expected to be open for traffic at
the beginning of this month.
\ meteoric stone weighing 375
grammes, triangular in shape and
of a crystalline appearance, fell last
month at Wiener Neustadt and as
it fell to the earth, which It pene-
trated considerable distance, il
gave forth a very brilliant light
Two pyramids have been dis
covered at Saggarah, north Of
Memphis. They were built by
kings OF the sixth dynasty. 1t is
stated that the rooms and passages
are covered with inscriptions which
will be of high value to science.
In a second paper, by VI. Muntz,
on the conservation of grain IN
reservoirs, read before the French
academy Of sciences, it is stated
that to secure all the advantages
of such means Of storage the grain
should be comparatively dry, the
closure perfect, and the tempera-
ture of the walls pretty constant.
About the end of last month the
largest crucible steel casting hith.
erto made was effected in the
works of a firm in Sheffield, Eng
land. Ii was a spur rim 2S feet in
diameter and cast whole. To cast
it 270 pots, each holding so pounds
of molten steel, were used. Steel
wheels are likely to supersede the
cast-iron wheels now in general
use in the Lancashire mills.
According to Les Nondes, plans
have been prepared for a large
crystal palace, to be constructed in
the park of st. Cloud, for perma-
nent exhibitions of objects relating
to art and industry, with scientific
experiments on grand scale.
There will be representations also
of the vegetable and animal king
doms Of the different geological
ages, and views and models OF
ancient and modern monuments
and curiosities from all parts OF
the world will be Included.
