A BIG NUGGET.
A Claim Which Couldn't be Worked
ON Shares.

When California was first settled
the precious metal was frequently
found in nuggets. These We're usual
ly called Jumps by the miners and
whenever one was foun1,s the lucky
mans name was soon made known,
and numbers OF less fortunate ones
would hasten to his shanty, either to
congratulate him and get sight of
the nugget, or endeavor to get him to
sell a part Of his claim, or to offer to
help work it on shares.
A, miner who with his wife, had
long been located in the regions, and
not being very successful, was one day
presented by his wife with a bouncing
baby, weighing twelve pounds Some
mischievious fellow started the story
that Jim Marsden had taken out a
twelve.pound lump. This intelligence
which was circulated about two weeks
after the event, caused great excite
ment, tor many believed the story, land
two strangers called at Marsdens
house one day for the double purpose
Of seeing the lump and in hopes of'et4

Senator Edmunds, the now acting
Vice-President, lately joined his fami-
ly at Aiken, s. c., where they have
passed the winter, and their program
me for the summer includes trip to
the Pacific coast. Mr.. Edmunds has
the reputation of being man of small
means, but the fact is, his income rang
'es from $75,OOO to $l00, ,00o a year.
Besides his salary as Senator and sal
ary of $4,000 as counsel for the Ver-
mont Central Railroad, be is consulted
in nearly every important case brought
to the Supreme court. For these
opinions he receives sums varying
from $4,000 to $4,000. Recently
he went to New York and made an
argument IN two cases. His fees in
each case was $Ie,0sO. He sue

Oyster Propagation.

Prof. Ryder, of the United States
Fish Commission, is very hopeful that
this seasons experiments will prove the
feasibility of oyster propagation and
cultivation by artificial means. He
proposes to continue the work this year
at some place in or near Chesapeake
Bay. The deterioration of the natural
oyster beds of that bay and the ada
cent waters awakened the solicitude of
the Maryland Legislature, and has crea-
ted commission to inquire into the
condition of the oyster beds, and report
to the next General Assembly, with a
view to legislation for the peotection
and increase of the oysters in Mary
land waters. Prof. w. X, Brooks, of
Johns Hopkins University, is president
of the commission. In conversation
recently Prof. Brooks said II discov,
cred five years ago that it is possible tc
hatch oysters IN unlimited numbers
from eggs, and to keep them alive fol
a few days and for some time after
they have developed their shells. II
these young oysters could be reareC
until they are large enough to handl,
and plant, the supply of oysters woulC
be increased indefinitely. There woulC
be none of the uncertainty which at
tends 6sh-hatching, for the young oys

He Showed Off.

The other day young man, about
20 years of age, accompanied by girl
two or three years younger, reached the
city by Bay City train, and after look
ing around for a few hours returned to
the depot and bought some sandwiches
for lunch. The fellow was heard brag-
ging good deal as to what he had
done and could do and cities he had
visited, and by-and-by he walked up
to the depot policeman and handed him
four five cent cigars and said

Five minutes later the girl stood on

observed
"Fihe day, mis-

The Signing of the Declaration.

In thinking of that instrument one is
apt to call up before him an August as
semblage gravely seated upon the table,
with the Declaration spread out upon
it, and each member of the Continental
Congress in turn taking pen
and with great dignity aflixing to it his
name. Nothing, however, can be fur
ther from that which actually took
place, Very few OF the delegates, if
indeed any, signed the original docu-
ment on the 4th, and none signed the
present one now in Independence Hall,
Tor the very good reason that it was not
then in existence.
Ga July 10 Congress voted that the
Declaration be engrossed on parchment.
Jefferson, however, says that New
York must have signed the original
copy of the Declaration befor it had
gone into the hands of the engrosser.
On what day the work was done by the
copyst is not known. All that is GER
known is that on the I'd of August Con
gress had the document as eng Sed,
This is the document in eXisten,, w
in Independence Hall. 1t is on pare
ment, or something that the trade calls
parchment. On that day august y it
was signed by all the members present.
The original Declaration is lost, or
rather was probably purposely destroy
ed by Congress. All the signatures
were made anew. When the business
of signing was ended is not known.
One, Matthew Thornton, from New
Hampshire, signed it in November,
when he became member for the first
time aud Thomas Mexican, from
Delaware, as he says himself, did not
sign till January, l777. Indeed, this
signing was, ia eifec', what at the
present day would be called a ste st
oath" The principles of many of tne
new delegates coming into Congress
from the different States were not
known with certainty-some of them
night be Tories in disguise-and thus
each one was required on first entering
Congress to sign the Declaration. In
, January, l777, an authenticated copy,
, with the uames of all the siguers, was
? sent to each State for Signatures
fact which may have put a stop TO the
business of signing. 1t shows, how
q ever, the little Importance that was at
n tached TO this ceremony, that Robert
Il. Livingston was one of the commit
tee of five that reported the Declaration
-. and yet did not sign it, unless his sig
- nature is lost with the original docu
ment. "'-
The truth is, the Declaration of lndC
pendence was considered at that tim

A THOROUGHBRED SGOUN
DREL.

Troy, 13.-It is discovered that
Emmett O'Neil, the Schenectady
broker who recently failed and fed,
has victimized parties in Schenec-
tady and DuanesbuTgh of not less
than $25O,00O. Having the hand
ling of his fathers estate, he was
presumably wealthy and elected a
director of the Schenectady Bank.
From The books of the bank it is
learned that many farmers of
Duanesburgh gave him funds to in
vest. He obtained possession of the
money by plausible representations
and gave as security forged mort
cages. Where further proof was
asked he even forged assignments
to mortgages, including the county
clerks certificate, and copy of the
record. The widow, the orphan and
the industrious poor are alike
his victims, with the wealthy.
Every person in johannesburg was
swindled. His mother and sisters
are left penniless. Before leaving
Schenectady, ON the midnight train,
O'Neil, taking a 500 greenback in
his hand went asking for change
and as no one could change il he
borrowed q few dollars from each
storekeeper. O'Neil went to New
York. where, it is said, he made an
unsuccessful attempt to raise So
600 on forged securities. 1t is be-
lieved he has gone to Europe. His
wife, two daughters and a son are
still in schenectady.
