STILL ANOTHER COMET.-Prof. Swift of
the Warner Observatory, Rochester, n. V,
has just verified the discovery of another
comet, in the Constellation of Auriga,
made July 14th, by Prof. j. NJ. Schaeberle,
of Ann Harbor, Mich. This new comet is
apparently coming directly toward the
earth, and, for telescope comet, is very
bright; indeed, it can readily be seen with
o good opera glass. 1t is quite remarkable
that il should be in just the spot where the
present large comet was first seen by the
naked eye in this latitude, and shows that
the two bodies must haye crossed each
others paths. This makes the forth Gqpet
discovered within ten weeks, circum-
stance heretofore unknown in history.
Prof Schaelerle has duly filed his applica-
ton for the Warner prize of 5000, and as
vet he is the only claimant.

There is no particular duty for the
United States steamer TdIdpoosa to do now,
and the steamer will be kept at the navy
yard so as to be handy i'll case the Presi-
dent will want to take sea trip anywhere
after he has been pronounced to be con-
valescent. 1t is as yet undecided whether
he will be taken to some of the resorts
along the seashore or to the Soldiers
Home. The decision depends greatly on
the condition of the weather when the
President is able to be removed. 1t is
thought change of some kind will be q
relief to him, as it will present new scenes
and surroundings after he will have tired
of his present quarters.

A Little BAD Blood.

An extremely lively row occurred on
Main street about $50 o'clock on Sunday
evening among some of our cousins /"
from the Hill, a large number Of whom
had been down town" all day. The
quarrel appeared to have originated from q
trivial cause in q saloon and was trans
ferred to the street. Here it was taken up
by a tall, powerful looking man on one side,
and q short, heavy-set fellow on the other.
The big fellow without much ceremony
dealt his comparatively puny opponent a
terrible blow in the face. which tumbled
hinp among the crowd, but he soon recov-
cred and vent for his antagonist like q bat
tering ram. The big fellow let out his
bunch Of fives again, but missed his aim
and stumbled, or was tripped. Quick as
lightning his opponent got his head i n
chancery, and then proceeded to polish off
the aggressive giant in the most approved
p. R. style, the crowd, which numbered
about 100 persons, getting worked up to
the highest pitch of excitement. Blow
followed blow, and sounded like the dull
thud OF a pile driver, while the blood was
streaming in q torrent from the battered
mau's face. An officer finally arrived on
the scene, but the crowd tore the combat
ants apart and spirited the aggressor away.
This was very neatly done, and completely
mystifed the officer. Several other scrim-
images are reported to have occurred dur.
ing the evening, but none were OF so seri-
Gus q nature as the first.

About 100 spectators were drawn to Ry-
lands baseball grounds ON Sunday to wit
ness tue game between what was intended
to be the nine which played at Austin and
a picked team. The baseballers, however,
arranged the mines to suit themselves, and
IL was virtually a contest between picked
teams, the Albions figuring conspicuously
on one side and the Chloriders on the
other. Tho former were successful by q
score Of 10 to 6. Some very fine playing
was INDUCED in up to the eighth inning
on both sides, bit in the last innings the
Chloriders became demoralized. At the
conclusion Of the seventh the game stood,
Chloriders 8, Albioas 4. Muldoon pitched
for the Albions aud Hardigan caught, and
both played excellently. Muldoon is devel-
oping into a scientific pitcher. He has got
a number OF the curves down finely, and
il full Of the tricks that made Leary Of the
Hop Bitters famous o few years since.
His delivery is marked by such variety OF
movements that the striker is kept ON
the lookout continually for a new dodge,
and it il interesting to note at times the
quickness with which the sphere passes from
the catcher TO the pitcher, and then back
into the catcher's hands. The Chloriders
were not supported as we'll behind the bat
by Denny Mann as their opponents were
by Hardigan. but Denny worked hard to
stem the tide Of ill-fortnne, and is deserv-
ing Of considerable credit for the
in which he stood up to the racket OF a new
pitcher almost every inning. The fielding
on the part of the regular players was very
fair, aud showed what a picked nine was
capable OF doing with . strange club.

An Eastern paper points out that the
year 1881 is an arithmetical curiosity.
From right to left and from left to right 1t
reads the same. Eighteen divided by 2
gives 9 as q quotient 81 divided by 9
gives Q ; il divided by Q the quotient con-
tains a 9 il multiplied by 0 the product
contains two IS / aud 8 are 9, and 8 and l
are 0; II the Is be placed under 81. and
added the sum is 98. If the figures be
added thus 1. 8. 8. 1, it will give. IS.
Reading from left to right it is IS, and IS
is tw~o-ninths of 81. 1t also reads the same
upside down. the first year capable OF be-
ing 30 read since 1851. Perhaps this was
the reason why Mother Shipton selected
this year as a convenient one for the end
of the world.

THE TRIAL OF LUE DUE.
An Interesting Case Developed
from q Cutting Scrape.

An Interesting Ease Developed
from a Cutting scrape.
The case of Lue Due, charged with an
assault with a deadly weapon upon Cow
Tow, on the goth Of May last was called
in the District Court at 10 o'clock yester.
day morning. The particulars Of the af-
fair, as given in the SENTINEL at the time.
were to the effect that Lue Due had cut
and stabbed Cow Tow so severely that his
life was ~despaired of. but Cow Tow has
survived his injuries, and appeared in
Court yesterday to prosecute Lue Due.
The trial appeared to excite more than or
binary interest among the Cinnamon, and
the Courtroom was thronged with them
during the day. But it was plainly evi.
dent that their sympathy was entirely with
Cow Tow. Messrs. Davenport and Wines
conducted the prosecution, and Geo. W.
Merrill the defense by order Of the Court,
the prisoner having. it is claimed. neither
money nor friends. The prosecution ex-
amined five witnesses-two white and
three Chinese-and clearly established
the fact that Lue Due stabbed and
cut the prosecuting witness. But the
prosecution failed to elicit anything with
regard to the cause which led to the af-
fray. The Cinnamon would only testify
to the fact that Lue Due used the knife
and had . large revolver in his hand.
Their testimony went SO far, and no fur
Their. The testimony Of the white wit
nesses was only Of a nature to show the
position and condition of the prisoner and
the wounded man when the fight was
really over. The defense placed the pris-
oner on the stand, and he made the follow
ing statement: I am the only Chinaman
of my company in Eureka; Cow got jeal-
ous of me because l took some work away
from him; we had six quarrels of and on;
three times he threatened to kill me; on
the afternoon when the fight occurred Cow
approached me with the knife on the table;
! ran into the Joss house, but he followed;
/ jumped upon him very quickly and took
the knife and threw it away; he then pulled
a revolver, and I grabbed hold Of that; we
struggled out OF the Joss house to the
pavement. where some friend gave the
knife back to him; I grasped it as he
was taking hold of it and wrenched ii
from his hand; / then used it to defend my
life, and we tnmbled off the bank into the
street; nave no friends in Eureka; had
only a little pistol in my pocket; the knife
and pistol that were drawn belonged to
Cow Tow; he has tried to kill ma, and
called me from where / worked that after
noon to kill me.
His examination and cross-examination
lasted two hours, and il his story is true.
and it was plausibly delivered. the wicked
ness of the Chinese character has received
further illustration. Mr.. Wines opened
the prosecution and Mr.. Davenport closed
it. Mr.. Merrill speaking for the defense
between their efforts, all of which were
more or less eloquent and impressive. and
gave the jury a hard nut to crack. Judge
Rives charged the jury briefly at 5 o'clock.
and Immediately after it retired, but up to
8 o'clock A. NJ. it had not agreed upon o
verdict,

The Comet Climb.

The S. F. Stock Exchange says that a
new club Of nice young men has been
formed in that city under the title Of the
Comet Club. The President is a member
Of the Big Board, and the Secretary be-
longs to the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, but frequents the prayer meetings
only when disguised. The objects OF this
club are never to retire to rest without
seeing the ethereal stranger, and If there
is a fog, to remain up until the fog has dis
appeared, and console themselves as best
they can during the observation of the
comet. All rational amusements that tend
to direct the mind into u scientific channel
ara permitted by the constitution. So
billiards, because Of its mathematical char
ac.er, and poker. because of its specula-
tive character, and hot WHISTLES, because
OF their chemical character, are not only
permitted, but the members are earnestly
advised to engage in them. Whether the
Comet Club will remain in existence after
the disappearance Of their heavenly sug-
gestor, or not, il doubtful. 1t is likely,
however, that q few of the members will
be carried to their long resting place, vic
tins to a thirst for scientific discovery, be-
tween the Kalends Of July and the Ides Of
December.

An Important strike.

D. C. Levy, Superintendent Of the Bow

evening that a rich and important discov-
cry had been made in the property within
the past few days. which will not only DO
particularly gratifying to the stockholders
in Boston, but will also have q highly
important bearing upon q piece OF territory
in This camp to which but comparatively
little notice has been given In the past.
The strike was made In two parts OF the
mine. The frat was made three feet from
the main shaft on the so foot level. Here
. ledge was encountered three feet wide.
