Some of the revised figures and opin-
io1s concerning the sun, as the result of
the most recent observations, aided BY
improved methods and appliances, are
of peculiar interest. Thus, the former
calculations, which placed the sun at
95,OOO,O00 miles from the earth, and
which remained unquestioned for SO
many years, are now changed, on the
highest authority, so az to present a
mean distance of 33, 100000 miles. Not
less interesting are these investigations
which deal with the solar temperature,
respecting which the most diverse opin-
ions have existed until lately among
men of science, these opinions differing,
in fact, all the way from millions to the
comparatively low temperature of 1852
degrees Fair. The figures now most
generally received are those of Prof.
ROsetti of Padua, who, after the most
profound and prolonged study, places
the suns temperature at about 1905
degrees Fahr. Another notable fact is
the recent discovery Of oxygen in the
sums atmosphere-the first discovery,
indeed, of the existence of any non
metallic element there.

A disgraceful scene took place on
Front street Yesterday afternoon be
tween w. II. White and Chas. kisl, the
particulars of which are about as fol
lows: For long time MIR. kiel has had
4 number % furnished rooms over Chill
berg's grocery. Some time since Mrs
Potter took charge and has been taking
care of the rooms. Mr.. kiel for some
reason desired to again take charge Of
the apartments, and notified Mrs. Potte,
20 that effect. The lady did not wish to
90, claiming that she had rented Of Mr..
Kiel, and was not liable to be discharged
at any time. kiel claimed she was
simply an employee, and liable TO dis
charge. As she would not go Of her own
accord, Kiel attempted to take posses
zion, and force her to leave. Mrs. Pot
Ter had employed w. II. White, Esq,
to assist her, and he advised her that
she WAS in lawful possession, and to re-
main until elected by due process OF law.
Ab0nt this time Messrs. White and kiel
met in the house ard blows passed be
tween them. White then stepped out on
Tho sidewalk and hot words snsued.
Finally scutlle took place, when Kiel
stepped back into the hallway. Emery
ing once more. he dared White to renew
the attack, and as the lawyer placed
himself in belligerent attitude. kiel
drew a revolver and fired shot, which
lodged i'll the casing over the door.
Chief Woolery arrested kiel shortly af-
ter. and he was bound over in the SUM

A remarkable bicycle ride has recently
been accomplished by the Hon. 1. Keith
Falconer, the distance travelled being
from Lands End to John o. Groat's
House, in Great Britain. He left the
Lands End Hotel early on the morning
of Monday, June 9th, and traversed
Cornwall rapidly. The Devonshire
roads were difficult; but those in SOM
ersetshire gradually improved, and the
journey through the center of England
was rapid. With the Yorkshire journey
began continuous series of northwest
winds, increasing as he drew near the
border, and when he entered Scotland
attaining the violence of a positive gale.
On Saturday. June 18th, he started for
the last time, rode along the coast Of
Sutherland, mounted the Ord of Cath
ness before the sun had set, reached
Wick a few minutes after midnight, and
bv twenty minutes after ) o'clock ON the
morning of Sunday. June 18th, he was
knocking at the door of tho JOHN o
Groat's Hotel. The distance was ex-
actly 99i miles, and the time occupied
twelve days twenty three hours and a
quarter, 0 speaking roughly, thirteen
days. The last 2l5 miles were ridden i'll
forty-two hours.

A HARVEST FISH STORY.

One of the Nevada fish stories is thus
told by the Virginia Enterprise: "One
of the most peculiar and least known
fish of Nevada is the conewee, found
only in Pyramid and Winnipeg lakes.
One of the most striking peculiarities Is
a name extending along the back from
head to tail, which renders the creature
so unsightly that it is always sheared by
the fishermen before being sent to mar
ket.
They swim at the surface of the wa
ter, and in the early days assembled the
river in immense schools that filled the
river from bank TO bank. They make a
great noise when thus going up the riv-
er, and can be heard at considerable
distance from the stream. In the Spring
of 1860, at the time of the Indian war,
they stampeded the horses of COM
pany of soldiers camped on the banks
of the stream, and came near causing a
panic, it being supposed that tho FLUTES
were making a charge upon the encamp-
ment.

The purchase of the entire site of the
Villa of Hadrian in Rome by the Ital-
ian Government some years ago has
been followed by systematic excava-
tion, which har converted what was a
chaotic mass Of ruins and shrubs into
a vast area Of walls and pavements. in
which the ground plan OF the original
design may be distinctly traced. In the
present system Of excavation at Rome
the whole of the earth is removed, ill.,
stead OF being turned over and over in
quest OF sculptures, a. was the practice
OF arch@oloRists in the last century,
when the great object of an excavation

sale of what was found,

THE CHINESE PEsr.-.fhe Chinese have
got strong hold on the city OF Port
land. They are located in the heart Of
the town, on what should be the second
1r third best business street. They are
in good brick buildings, and must mum
Dor in the neighborhood of two thous-
and, now, while they .1are comparative
~ few, and on the closing of the Gamer
,es and the cessation Of railroad work
they will go up to five or ten thousand
without doubt. Then they will be in tho
way, and trouble may ensue. The way
to keep out the Chinese. in to refuse
them room in the outset, for il they
once get in they will crowd and crowd
until they have all the room they want
and others are pushed out. This push
ing and providing is under vigorous way
IN Portland, and will be more active
from this on. We have quite enough
Chinese here now. and our people can
not be too cautious in admitting an in
crease OF the number, which is likely to
)ccur from this on, but which may be
prevented by thu adoption of measures
OF vigorous exclusion.

Potatoes from Abroad.

Talk about carrying coals to New castle In the windows of the grocery shops on our populous avenues will be seen placards bearing the following in- scription: "Potatoes from Scotland and Ireland" |" "Cabbages from Holland" "Butter from Holstein." This latter dairy product, by the way, is said to be the finest in the world. The Circassia last week brought over hundred pack ages of it. It is we'll known in England, where it sells at higher prices than the American product. No wonder the balance of trade is against us, when we are importing vegetables and dairy pro- ducts from Europe. It is scarcely more than year since MT. James Caird, after a visit to this country, advised Scotch and English agriculturists to stop grow ing wheat and turn their attention to market gardening and dairy products. The drought of last summer on the eastern seaboard of this country gave an immediate point to lis recommenda- tion.-N. y. Hour.

Ready to Skip.

They were discussing the Anti Polyg- amy bill in Detroit tobacco store, says the Free Press, when a colored man dropped in to beg 8 corncob pipe. Thinking to have little fun with him one of the debaters said:
 "Colonel, what action will the colored people tako on that bill ?"
 [" Whats de bill fur ?"
 "It's to prevent any man from having two wives."
 "Nol Amt you foolin' ?'
 "Not any. That's the bill, and wbat are you going to do about 1t ?"
 The old man scratched his head, warmed his hands and finally repiied:
 II doan' know what de res ob de culld folkses will do, but if you am tellin' me de truf, an de bill gifts to be law, an de purleece come round kickin' up fuss wld me, 'specks kin skip across to Canada an go to libin' wid de odder one agin. l doan' sot much by dis one, an I nebber have since foun' dat she run'd away from her husband in Toronto"

Naturalization of Chinese.

In denying the right of naturalization to Hop Sing, Commissioner Shields simply followed the law as it has been laid down by the United States Court in San Francisco, Chicago and New York. As amended in 1875 the act of Congress provides for the naturalization of "aliens being free white persons, aliens of African nativity and persons of African descent" This statute was inter- preted by Judge Sawyer, United States Circuit Judge in California, to apply only to the Caucasian or white race. Its provisions do not extend to Mongolians nor to Indians. He cites the debates in Congress to show that it was the in- tention of that body to exclude the Chinese. His decision has been fol- lowed by other courts. This view is bel l not to be i'll conflict with the four teenth amendment nor contrary to the Bnrlingame treaty. In recent case ill Oregon, Judge Deadly decided that a man of half white and half Indian blood is not white person within the mean, ing of the naturalization law.-N. r. Herald

English Apple Tart.
you do.

There is nothing nicer than an En- glish apple tart if it is properly made, which should be as follows: Pare, quarter and core the apples, then slice them very finely into deep dish, grate some lemon peel over them, and add some sugar in small quantity of water; to make the crust faky, take pound of flour and half a pound of butter 1; place the four in an earthenware basin and break the butter up into small pieces mix half of these with the flour, then slowly add little water, enough to blend all together as you mix it :; take it out of the basin, and, having sprinkled the board with flour, roll it out lightly once as evenly as you can i; then take more of the broken bits of butter and place at intervals over the paste, sprinkle them with flour, fold the paste and roll it again, once more place the bits of butter on it at intervals, dredge it again, fold it and roll out again; repeat this process third time i; then place the paste thus prepared over the apples, so that it covers the edge of of the dish, and cut it exactly all round; roll out the pieces you cut off and make a strip to go over the flat edge, so that there may be double paste all round it, and to give it a raised appearance take the handle of a teaspoon and press the edges lightly upward at regular 1 intervals.
