COAST And STATE,

At q candidates ball at Dogtown, Nevada
county, last week, young man by the
name of George Crandall, handsome and
industrious miner, was married to Miss
Mary Atkins, of Nimshew. The cere.
mony took place at the hotel at s o'clock,
and after congratulations had been ex.
tended the order was given to son with
the Dance" and the newly. married couple
tripped the light fantastic until near the
break of day, when they started for MIN.
shew, where the bride was to remain with
her mother, while Mr.. Crandall returned
to Dogtown to transact some business. The
trip to Nlmshew was made without mishap.
and directly after arriving there Young
Crandall started ON his return trip, but he
did not reach his destination. Some time
after daylight some of the parties on their
way home from the ball discovered the
bloody and insensible body of Crandall
lying in the middle of the road. His bug.
gy was lying at the side of the road total
wreck. Crandall was picked up and car
ried to house, where physician pro.
nounced the case fatal. It is supposed
that the young man, completely exhausted
from dancing and loss of sleep, had dozed
off into pleasant slumbers and dropped the
lines, and his horses, becoming frightened
at some object, had run away and thrown
him out. His wife was almost frantic
when the sad news was carried to her, and
she hurried to her husbands side. The
affair is indeed sad one, and has cast
gloom over the neighborhood of its occur
renee.

SHooTING-STARS.

The appearance of comets and shooting
stars announced to the ancients and to our
ancestors the death of some great person.
age or some woe, and the chronicles are full
OF notices of such phenomena. The no.
tices are, in fact, occasionally so numerous
as to be suspicious, for, as Lubienietz re-
marks in his "Cometography," when an
event of such kind happened, it was
thought there must have been a comet
about the time, and SO it was put down !;
and an amusing picture has been made of
the perpiexlty of cometographer who
could not find any comet for seventeen
years, portentous of the events that were
to happen during that period. The Chi.
nese records are more trustworthy, for
their observers were constantly at their
posts, and formed regularly and
scientifically organized body. The docu.
ments recording the observations were
specially preserved for the Chinese, from
time many centuries before the Christian
era, attributed to the different stellar
groups direct influence on the different
provinces OF their country. As shooting
stars may be seen at almost any time, it
was to be expected that great number of
notices OF the phenomena must have been
recorded during the forty centuries of
which we have literature OF some kind.
Plutarch, IN his biography of Lvsander.
makes near approach to the modern ex-
PLANTATION of the origin of these bodies. say
ing 8 Some philosophers believe that the
shooting stars are not detached parts of the
ether which 60 out in the air soon after
they have been inflamed, that thew no
more originate in the combustion of the air
which is dissolved in great quantity in the
upper regions, but that they are
rather falling celestial bodies" The
general opinion is that shooting stars are
bodies OF small dimensions that circulate,
under the influence of attraction, among
the planets in the same way as the planets
themselves. When they cross our atmos.
phere, the friction develops heat enough to
consume them, most frequently before thew
reach our soil. The mean hight at which
the meteors become luminous exceeds, how.
ever, the estimated hight of our atmos.
phere. Poisson has, therefore, suggested
that, as they could hardly have become in.
famed from friction at such a hight. an
atmosphere of neutral electricity NAV exist
considerably beyond the mass of the air
which is subject to the earth's attraction,
and is disturbed by the entrance of the
meteors, SO that they become electrified

HUMAN HAIR,

Not less than 80 per cent. of the women
and 5 per cent. of the men of this coun-
try wear more or less false hair. The
enormous consumption of the artificial and
natural product suggests the fact, fearful
but true, that nine women out OF every
ten about the street, in the church or in
the cars, charming or ugly to line, have

net, bangs or waves, arranged at the hair.

grows gray-headed. The fact is, one-third
of white shreds may be mingled with such
hair, and few would notice it. The same
proportion of blonde-headed people turn
gray as those with any other colored hair.
The proportion of people who dye their
hair is also surprising Some 20 per cent.

BEEcHER's B .IsrERIEa SARCASM

Henry Ward Beecher's letter to the
Traveller, in answer to his critics, is full Of
the most cutting irony, and must cause the
theologians who have been attacking him
TO realize that he has by no means lost his
controversial powers. He brings out in a
most singing manner the discordance
which exists between the many denomina.
tions. He says, very meekly, that he is
going to put together the fragments of him.

trying the effect of blood diet upon three
motherless lambs. The blood was fed to
them in the form of dry powder, and
they thrived wonderfully upon it. They
not only grew very rapidly, but their wool
doubled in thickness, and their general
condition became all that could be desired.

ment upon several calves. What effect, if
any, the blood diet has had upon the ma
