WNshIngtuh
The only instance ever known of any per-
ate being permitted to remain in the Senate
chamber during an executive session was on
Sunday morning. When the Senate went
into executive session little Richard Dalton,
son of Lycurgus Dalton, superintendent of
the Senate folding-room, was on the floor,
and remained during the entire session.
When the doors were opened his father
asked him why he remained in the chamber.
He replied that he wanted to see what they
did. Little Dick IS nine years old, and very
bright He described the proceedings with
remarkable accuracy when the session was

stirred the sleeping member from the Key

A Mar moth Pocket.
Rock Mountain News.


One of the richest strikes known in
the mining history Of California was
made at the Nevills, or Mammoth
mine, three miles south of this place,
last Saturday. A pocket of quartz of
almost unparalleled richness found less
than one hundred feet from the sur
face, in which was contained from
$75, 900 to 500, 600, and about two tons
IN quantity. Much of this might be
termed chunks of gold, instead of gold
bearing quartz. Some of these pieces
of solid gold were about as heavy as
man could lift from the ground
The largest piece was an oval, sixteen
by twenty-five inches and six or seven
inches thick. This gold is almost
black, and of the same character as
the former rich strikes found in the
same mine. We have no doubt that
this is the richest find of gold ever
known in the United States at one
time. The Ledger of September 18th
says of this wonderful strike: It com
pletely throws into the shade any
thing in the history of mining in Am
ador county, if not in the State. Dur
ing Friday a ton of this gold-freig
metal was taken out. 1t is not so rich
as the gold streak taken out some time
ago, but there is vastly more of it.
The value of this bonanza is estimated
at from $50, 900 to 100000. The ledge
is five feet wide, and the whole face of
it was held together, as it were, by
spikes of solid gold, Altogether three
thousand pounds have been taken
from this bunch of ore, and the end
is not yet. The very rich streak from
which this mass Of free gold has been
taken ranges from an inch or so up to
twenty inches IN width. The previous
seam varied from the thickness of a
knife-blade to three inches.

WhimS Of Celebrated Men.
Phrenological Journal.


Some amusing features from the
lives of celebrated men have been
brought together by German writer.
Auber wrote on horseback; it was not
possible for him to write in any other
place than in Paris, however beauti-
full another residence might be, how
ever many attractions it might offer.
Adam composed best when he Law
with his clothes on in bed, and show
ed as great antipathy nj all landscape
beauty as love to his cats. The same
antlpathy to all natural beauty is
charged to Donizetti, who always
slept when he went on journey,
when he should have given his atten-
ton to the romantic scenery of Swift
erland and Italy. Cimatosa could
not write without having a lot OF
friends around him, with whom he
kept up an active conversation about
art matters. Sacchini's train OF
thought was interrupted when his
cats did not play their antics upon the
writingdesk. Sari could only be
come inspired in a room without fur
niture, and which was dimly lighted.
Spontini could only compose in the
dark, and Meyerbeer composed best
during violent thunder-storms, under
the roof of his house. Saleria gained
his inspiration while he walked quick
~ through the streets filled with the
human thrOng, meanwhile eating q
great quantity of CONNECTIONS. Haydn
IN order to compose, sat in a soft arm
chair, with his gaze directed to heaven.
Gluck composed in the open air,
best in the glazing sunshine. He
liked champagne by his work, and
gestlculated very violently, as if lac
were an actor on the boards. Handel
wandered in the church-yard, and
when he wished to become inspired he
sat himself down in one corner of il
which was shaded by weeping viii
lows. Paesiello composed in bed
and did not leave it until he had fin
ished a whole operate scene of an act
Mehul was great worshipper of flow
ers, and often fell into silent
reverie in observing them. He fell
happiest in quiet garden, Mozarr
gained his inspiration from reading
Homer, Dante, Petraroh; Merdi mus
read passages from Shakespeare, Goethe
Schiller, Ossian and Victor Hugo
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1883-11-15

Schiller inspired his muse by the smell
of rotten apples. which he kept con
stantly in his desk; besides this, he
liked to live amid surroundings cor
responding to the subject on which
he worked. When he wrote the last
act to MARY Stuart" hehad his SER
wants clothed in black; and so long as
he worked on "Wallenstein" he neg
lected no review or other military
spectacle, and at home his wife must
sing battle pieces to him.
Goethe loved to have plastic works
of art before him as he wrote. It is
known that in the creation of his
'Iphigenia" he had the image of an
antique female before him, in order
to see if that which he made his hero
inc say would suit the features before
him. Jean Paul replenished his ideas
while taking a walk, and drank a
glass of beer now and then on the
way. In writing he loved the strong
smell of flowers. Herr Won Kleist
worked with great difficulty, and when
he made poetry, it was as if he had
a conflict with an invisible fiend. Just
the opposite was the case with Father
Wieland. In making his poems he
trilled lively song, and sometimes
would spring away from his work and
cut caper in the air. Kotzebue, in
the composing of his dramas, was also
actor. He himself acted single scenes
in his study. 1t is related that when
Sand murdered him, his little son, as
he saw him reel and then writhe upon
the ground, cried out to his mother:
''See, mamma, father plays comedy
againm Burger, the immortal poet Of
LeonOre, is said to have whistled
street songs as he wrote his verses on
paper. His conversation in such mo-
ments is said to have been obscene.
Holaerlin was often found crying
when he composed poems. Similar
things are said of the French romance
writer, Lafontain. His wife once
found him before his writing-desk
swimming in tears. "Oh, it is too
sad!' he sighed. ''It don't 60 at all, "
he sobbed; II am still in the first vol
ume" Matthison wrote all his poems
by moonlight, while standing at the
window. Lamartine wrote his best
things in the morning, before break
fast, while sitting before the fire. A
contemporary of Dumas wrote thus:
1.-THE writing-desk of Alexander Du-
mas presents a picture of classical dis
order. The study floor is covered with
books and papers, behind which. he is
seated, formally barricaded. Also a
quantity of dogs, cats, poultry,
pigeons, singing birds are to be seen
around, and these ne feeds. strokes
and keeps out of mischief while writ
ing. In the background stand mum
Der of printers devils waiting for copy,
and booksellers and such people, who
have business with him. He writes
very rapidly, and carries on, very
often, a conversation at the same
time. He is ,ry negligent in his
