Bic PRICES FOR OLD POSTAGE STAMPS.
One Of the rarest known postage stamps,
and consequently one of the most priced
by collectors, is the ten. cent stamp issued
at Nashville in 1861 by Postmaster Nc
Nsh, and bearing his name. Some months
ago Joseph 5. Carols sold one he had had
for many years for So and it was after.
ward sold in Paris for $50. 1t had been
taken of the original envelope, and as
counterteits have been manufactured, Mr..
Carols before selling it had to get letters
from Mr. McNish, DR.. Blackie and others,
vouchlng for its authenticity. A son Of
Edmund Cooper, who is making a clllec-
ton, found among his fathers old letters
an envelope bearing Cancelled specimen
postmarked, etc. Recently he accom-
panied his mother to New York OF a VISIT
and while there sold the stamp to a dealer
for So 80. The stamp being on the origi-
nal postmarked envelope, and bearing its
own credentials, SO to speak, made 1t much
more valuable. Even rsrer than this is the
three. cent stamp issued by Mr.. McNlsh. as
q used specimen has never been found, and
one on the original envelope and well
authenticated would sell for a most ex-
travagant figure Mr. McNish also issued
a five. cent stamp, used specimens of which

FLooDING THE SAHARA-The project OF
flooding the Sahara, and thus opening up
Central Africa to commerce and civilizs
ton, appears to be reviving-the opinion
still berg urged by geographers and en-
giueers that, if the water of the ocean
could thus be let into that desert, the eli
mate, the soil and the sanitary condition
would all be improved. Though nearly
thirds as large as Europe, and contain.
ing some 200 900, 600 habitants, the only
means Of communication with the rest of
the world lies in the caravan tracks. In
the Sarah Desert there is a remarkable de-
preston. covering an area Of about 10000
miles, this depressed portion being known
as Ehjuf, and said to extend from within
twelve miles from the sea-shors to regions
in the close neighborhood of Timblctoo.
The theory OF both ancient and modern
geographers has been that EIijuf was orig
inally filed with water, which flowed into
the ocean, bat that, bar having been
formed at the entrance, the flow inward
was stopped, and the heat of a vertical sun
caused the inside water to evaporste. The
practicability of reopening this ancient
channel is the great question.

rHs CELESTIAL EvBsr OF THE YEAR.

Perhaps the most interesting celestial
event of the year will be the opposition of
Mars at the end of the present month,
saws the New York San. There is so much
about this remarkable planet that suggests
a close resemblance to this earth. and so
MANY of its surface features and OF the
natcral processes occurring upon 1t are WIS.,
ihls wish teles copio aid, that every time 1t
comes to opposition, tnst is, gets In line
with the earth sad the sun. the earth being
in the middle, battery Of telescopes Is
turned upon it with eager expectation of
interesting views if nov Of important dis
coveries. At opposition Mars appears wish
small telescope powers like q tutl moon OF
q ruddy tinee. As the msgn,fylrS power
is increased one detail after another Of the
diversified surface Of TINS distant world
comes into view, until it hangs in the field
of the telescope s. real globe, marked
plainly with continents, oceans and islands,
and partially covered with clouds.
The first physical features of Mars that
come into view are the snow caps surround
ing his poles. The southern pole is now
incliued toward the earth, and small tele-
scope. say of three inches aperture, will
plainly show the circular cleaning patch
Of snow that covers the antarctic region OF
the globe of Mars. The darksning sur
rounding the snow ieli, and called Pail
lip's Sea, is almost equally distinct, and
some Of the other seas, or spots that are
believed 20 be seas, can be seen with the
sane telescope. With a larger telescope
details are visible, aud with the largest
and best all the various features of Marian
geography which are represented on some
of the wonderfully complete maps Of Mars
that have been constructed can be seen.
What a surprising thing 1t Is that men
have been able to make mSps and globes
representing with high degree OF COM
pleteness the surface OF a world never
much less than forty million miles distant
from the earth .
Large telescopes will, during the present
opposition, also ba able 20 show the two
tiny moons of Mars, which revolve close to
the planet so rapidly that the inner one
goes through all the changes from new
moon to old moon in less than 4 day.
Another thing about Mars which can now
be studied is the mysterious network OF
so,called canals which cover large por-
ton of the planets surface. particularly IN
the equatorial regions. The idea that they
are really canals constructed by inhabitants
of the ruddy planet can hardly be enter
tanned when it is known that tney are sixty
miles and more in width. Ola thing seems
to be pretty certain Mars has reached a
later stage OF planetary development than
the earth, and if it has inhabitants they
may possibly have attained degree of CIV
ilization incompreheusible to US. A. any
rate, it is a wonderful world which now
beams as q rudy star in our winter mid
night sky.

One of its most pressing wants is good,
reliable, big-hesrted corresponding men,
Der in each town and city in the State, who
will act in such capacity without remuner-
alton except the true pure satisfaction
such noble position would afford and IN
qualified respect it would certainly COM
mand. Such an one, furnishing all neces-
sary information to those in his or her dis
trict, who desire to adopt, indenture or
employ boy or girl, and also to act as a
sort OF consul for both parties, seeing that
each lived strictly up to his portion of the
contract. The qusstion-hoW shall we re-
form our juvenile criminals, and what shall
we do with our waywsrd boys and girls,
is of the utmost consequence to all; IT fact,
it is difficult to discover any other more
so, and sooner or later will surely come
directly home to every father and mother
in the State. The dreadful consequences
OF institutional reformatories, taken in con-
uection with the thousand and one new
avenues to moral and physical destruction
are spreading in every direction, and un-
less this noble society is helped IN al! pos
sible ways the outlook is truly sad in
deed, and must 90 on from bad to worse
until there will be but little virtue left in
the commonwealth; for, reader, the boys and
girls of the generation must become the
fathers and mothers Of the next.
We ask all who read this TO consider it
carefully, and having done so, to ask them
selves if there is onS false sentence in it or
one line that does not meet their honest,
hearty appreciation, and then help in 8
tangible manner this grand organization,
that has nothing to do with either politics
or sectarianism, having out one single aim
namely, the reformation of the hayward
boys and girls OF California, through the
medium of that first unit of all that is
good in life, the home and family. Help
it first of all for the children's sake; next,
for the regeneration OF this fair State, and,
finally, as a grateful tribute to the Great
God, who, perchance, has blessed you with
more than an average share of this world s

THEODORE RITTER,
Who is engaged to give 4 series OF concerts
in America, has a sonorous and elegant
touch, and his simplicity of style Is partic-
ulsrly pleasing to the fastidious Parlslans,
and is certain to please the still more tas'
tidious Americans. The young artist has
not only succeeded in interesting the pub
lie. but in exciting much enthusiasm,
difficult matter for any pianist SINCE the
davs of L;szt and Chopin. On first hear
ing his rendering of Mozart's concertos we
feared that he attempted to modernlze a
little the style of Mozart, but an follow
ing him closely, with the music before us,
we were surprised to find that he adhered
scrupulousiy TO the original score. The
orchestra OF the Pasdeloup is the most
perfect in the world. There is not the
difference between it and Thomas orches-
ira that there certainly is between Thomas
orchestra and that OF the Philharmonic Or
chestra of San Francisco but still there is
a difference, and it is vastly In favor OF the
Pasdeloup orchestra perfect orchestra,
warm, solid, precise and obeying
AS ONE SINGLE INSTRUMENT
The baton of the great conductor. Agree
ing that Thomas orchestra possesses all
these qualities, it cannot produce the vari-
Gus lights and shades, and the exquisite
pianissimos and the contrasting fortissimos
as the orchestra of Pssdeloup produces
them. One of the best reasons in the
world is that the Pasdeloup orchestra is
composed entirely of artists. Thomas has
few artists belonging to his orchestra,
but only few, and the majority of the
men are very young and very inexperl-
enced. How many artists are there be-
longing to the orchestra of the Philhar-
monte Society of San Francisco We ven.
ture to say, exceedingly few in the true
sense of the word but the conductor is a
very capable man and an artist, and he is
doing good work with the material at his
command.
FINE ART EXHIBITION.
The Minister of Public Instruction and
of the Fine Arts decided yesterday that
the National Exposition will take place on
the Ist of May, 1856, instead of 1883, as
originally intended. The Society of French
Artists is deeply concerned at this unex
pected decision, fearing that the Exposi-
ton of the State may interfere with the
success of the annual Salon OF the society.
All possible efforts will be made to pre-.
vent this decision being carried into effect
Some solution of the pulling question
should be found, which will protect the
rights of the State and at the same time
the Interests of the young and struggling
artists for whom the annual Salon is con-
dition OF existence. o.

SHERIDAS's Fox HUNT-During the
winter he remained near Winchester, but
as soon as the roads and the rains allowed,
Grant directed him to push once more up
the valley-this time not to return. He
was to advance in the direction of Rich
mond, destroying the railroads in every
direction, as well as all stores that could
possibly be of use to the enemy. In
order to conceal his purpose, Sheridan re.
sorted to one of those ingenious devices
in which he was unrivaled since the days
of Hannibal He learned that the people
Of the neighborhood were fond of hunting
and encouraged his staff to make their
acquaintance and talk of foxes and hounds.
A pack of hounds was found, and a day
set for the chase. The hounds were
brought into Winchester, the horses were
shod, and all the talk of the country
around was of Sheridan's hunt. On the
appointed day the whole neighboThood
came to the meet, the General and his
staff conspicuous. The start was made
and the run was good, but the Cen
eral and his staff went further than the
Virginians, and the army followed. They
rode after the enemy, and never returned.
The stratagem had kept all the news OF
Sheridans intentions secret, as all prep
arations were attributed to the hunt, and
he was far on his way before the vile was
discovered. : General Bsdeau in the Feb
