down between the sun, or even rising up,
they must refrsct the rays of the sun upon
certain ATTITUDES or longitudes, and thus pro-

the week past? Monday, September l1sb,
Uranus was in conf aIctisn with the sun,
and these Influences may continue for a mum

commenced, and that day Mercury, Mars and
our moon vera all in conjunction, thus
throwing double barrier between US and the
solar heat; yes, threefold obstruction, /
the extended atmosphere of Mercury; 2,
the mighty atmosphere Of Mars; 3, the
earth's moon passed over the sun. THIS
threefold powers combined to give us the ex.

METRJeoLITAN THEATER.-Tbe Bates COM
bination 49, It's engagement here last
night, playing excellently " Pink Dominoes,"
q comedy of doubtful propriety. The piece
enabled the management to put on one full
set of its new scenery as a room with three
closed sides, aud the effect was very good.
THIS kind of setting has not been common on
this stage, and when attempted before has
generally been a failure. The Metropolitan
stage can now be well set il little care is
used with the new scenery. Heretofore the
scene-shifters have persistently ignored the
people in the side seats, and made the side
haes of the scenery impossible TO their sight.
Inc past week someone seems to have taught
them that the wings in the first grooves are
not intended as instruments for shuttiug off
the view Of hst the stage from half the
spectators. The management should see to
1t that they do not relapse into the old habit,
however.
SIMON RATEN.-Sinon Raten, the slayer
Of james Lansing, proves to be quite
troublesome prisoner. He is surly. insolent
and abusive to the jailers, and gives them
mere trouble than any prisoner that has been
confined in the County Jail since the time
Anderson lone of the Tullis murderers) was
confined therein. A short time since he
took notion he would not eat any more and
refused food for six days. The jailers treat
bin very kindly, furnish him with plenty OF
good food, and give hi n all the liberty he is
entitled TO under the circumstances. During
his six days OF fasting he could not be pre-
vailed upon to psrtake of one mouthful of
food. The other prisoners in the Jail have
nicknamei him DIR. Tanner.
FOREST FIREs-A correspondent at SIS.
sons, Siskiyou county, says: For weeks
past terrible forest fires have been raging in
the vicinity of Mount Shasta. So dense has
been the smoke that il was impossible to see
Shasta or any Of the mountains thereabouts.
Thursday the camp of the engineer corps
who are surveying for the new railroad in
that l0cality-was surrounded by the fire,
and but for the timely arrival of the driver,
horses, wagons and camp outfit would have
been burned; as it was, part Of set of
harness and all the coats, bat four, of the men
were destroyed. The rair which began on
Thursday night has qnenched the fires, and
Mount Shasta has covering of new snow
from summit to BASE
