Comets are getting to be so common as
to attract less attention than formerly,
but to the astronomer they never grow
old. Professor Boss, of the Dudley OBJ
seryatory, Albany, has expressed the
opinion that the comet now seen very
near the sun at its rising, is the same as
the one discovered by DIR. Gould in South
America in 1850. After giving history
ct it aud its travels, he goes on to say
that the Intervals between it's successive
returns viii continually diminish in
length. Hotter aud hotter will become
the mad flight of the splendid comet un-
der the ali-powerful and increasing at
traction of the sun. AT last, he says,
= believe, before the close of the present
century the comet on some one of its re-
curing approaches to the sun, will meet
low down ia the solar atmosphere an OBJ
struction too great to be resisted. II will
then fall headlong into the sun and vanish
from the catalogue of comets forever.
This catastrophe may occur next year or
some years later, but believe it must
come sooner or later" Well, suppose
that is so, there is no cause for alarm, or
even for surprise. Comets are not earths.
perhaps they are nothing but gaseous for
nations. II score of them should tum-
bic into the sun at once there would
probably be no change in that luminary.
They are singular bodies, but hardly of
the importance that Is attached to them.

Wednesday, Sept. 81, 1882.

Lewis Parker, Jr., of Trenton has
been nominated for Congress by the Dem
ocrats of the Second Congressional Dis
trict. Hon. j. Hart Brewer will have an
,>aasy wall-over against such an opponent
as Mr.. P. Ex-Speaker Vanderbilt, OF
Princeton, complains that he was defraad-
ed of the nomination by the trickery OF
the Trenton delegates in the Convention.
Whenever they found vacancy in the
delegation from any part of the District,
they had supply of Trenton-P Parker
men to fill it. So George got left,
even with the backing of the old million,
aire, Paul Delaune.

Run over by a Wood Wagon.

A boy named Jerry Barrett, was
run over on Monday, by one of the
wagons used in taking wood out of
the river. He was employed AS a
driver, and was sitting on top of
load when the hame strap on one of
the horses broke. This allowed the
horse to pail himself out of the har-
ness and drag the boy who was hold
ing the lines, Off the load. The front
wheel on the side on which he tell
passed over him, but he was able to
roll out of the way before the hind
wheel reached him. The wheel pass
ed over his chest and at last accounts
he was thought to be seriously IN
jured.

son, and turn and turn about at the
Carson mint; when they were in
cahoots the Interpretation was given
to weather signs, and the maxim
from which abe two contradictory
theories arose was part of the
weather wisdom from both tribes.
1t contained a word which the In.
dams used INTERCHANGEABLE for deep
and thick, and this word is the link
whic b connects the two theories at
the point of divergence. When dis
sensions arose, the Piutes and Wash
oes mingled less and less frequently,
and in the course of time their Ian!
guage, laws and traditions changed,
each making by degrees important
alterations without consulting the
other. Their habits of thought and
expression grew more dissimiar as
time passed on, and finally by the
or adual changes caused by careless
reporters, some expressions and
proverbs, which were once identical,
have been SO altered in form and
Interpretation, as to convey exactly
opposite meanings. Judge II. has
traced each of these weather saws to
the original, and finds that they both
are derived from an ancient saying
10 the effect that the thickness of the
ice on pond depends on the severi-
ty of the winter. By the Piutes moss
was At some time substituted for ice,
as moss did not readily grow on
pond, the next generation adopted
the word tree, and thus by easy stages
the present theory was the result.
Tne Washoes shortly after the quar-
rel found a very large ground hog
hole full of water, and it can easily
be seen how the word ground hog
hole with them took the place of
pond. 1t is evident that sometime
during an extremely severe winter
the thickness of the ice depended
upon the depth of the hole. Then
when some careless generations
omitted the leo in passing down the
tradition, the Washoe proverb of our
day is the result. Judge il. has dis
covered in his researches that the
cause of the difference between the
two tribes was an unusually severe
sentence passed by Piute chief
named Pocopsin on Washos brave
who had iudulged too freely in val
ley tan.

j. A. Bonham returned from San
Francisco, Monday. He contracted
a severe cold while in California and
returned in such poor health that he
was unable to superintend the un
packing of large stock Of toys, un
derwear, silk hats, fois, tobacco
postage stamps, cigars and other
Christmas goods which he purchased
at prices corresponding to his low
state OF health. Since arriving home
his condition has greatly improved,
and the good nature attendant upon
a restoration to health has induced a
reduction in prices which will be
glad tidings Of great joy to the iuve-
niles who are saving up for the holi

The Exemption Law.

The exemption law needs many
amendments, for under the present
act lawyer can spend all the money
he makes in library; owe everyone
and laugh to scoru any attempt to
attachment of his library. This is
unjust, and we claim that the ex-
emption from attachment and forced
sale OF q lawyers office ought not to
extend further than certain tools OF
a mechanic, and if the law is not
amended as we suggest the exempt
ion ought surely extend to certain
implements III printing offices which
are as necessary to the proprietor as
the tool chest of the carpenter or the
books of All attorney. An attempt
WAS made some years ago to amend
the law in reference to printing OIL
ces, but failed in consequence of the
objections Of some attorneys thereto;
this year an amendment of the law
may result from proper work on the
part of the publishers and printers
in general. Carson IT. i6une.

The Four-oent Maximum .

The foolish people in California

encouraging demagogues 10 the poll
icy of fighting railroads simply be-
causethey are railroads. The Carson
and Colorado railroad is already of
great benefit to that portion of this
State through which it extends, and
to large extent of country beyond.
1t not only increases the convenience
and comfort of travellers but assists
miners and prospectors in getting in
and out of their field of operations.
1t is the intention of the company
to extend the road through Mono
and Inyo counties, and by so doing
they will increase the business faciii-
ties of both those counties and al the
same time increase In a large meas
ure the business done at this end of
the line. Should the California Com
mission be so foolish to adopt the
four-cent maximum passenger traffic
will not pay, the road will not be
continued and that portion through
which it would pass will be seriously
injured by the mistaken railroad
policy adopted by some politicians
tor the purpose of getting votes
while we at this end will also lose
by not receiving the benefit of the
increase of traffic which every sd-
diticnal mile of rail produces.
