The Lnreest Nugget Of cod.


Louis Blanding says that the gen
orally accepted statement that the
largest nugget ever found in Califor-
MIA was worth little more than s2l,-
600 is an erroneous one, says the
Virginia City Enterprise. He says
that ]. J. Finney, sold Virginia"
found a niece Of gold about six miles
from Downieville, Sierra County, on
the 21st day of August, 1857, that
weighed 5000 ounces. The gold Of
that vicinity was worth $18 an ounce,
which would make the value of the
nugget some $4,000. This would
make the Finney nugget the largest
piece of pure gold ever discovered, so
far as accounts go Heretofore the
Australian nugget, found in the Bal

the largest. It was valued at 100000

Death Amid Rags and Jewels.

London Cable: An cratic million
aire named Keith has been found dead
in his mansion at Caterham, near Lon
don. He died alone of apoplexy. He
had lived life of solitary wretchedness
for twenty years. His wife, to whom he
was dcvotedly attached, and whom he
surrounded with every purchasable lux
ury, died in 1864. After her burial
Mr.. Keith never left his mansion, and
every thing IN the house was suffered to
60 to decay. He never admitted
visitors, and cooked his own food, which
was procured for him by trusty
servant who lived in ne,ghboring cot
tage. He slept on a pile of rags and
sacklng on the floor of room oppo-
site an open wardrobe, in which were
hung his wife's wedding dress, several
ball dresses, and many rich jewels which
she had formerly worn. The house was
furnished sumptuously, but there was
six inches Of dust over the handsome
furniture, and the house was indescrib-
ably filthy.

There was consumed or lost In ono
way and another during each day of
the year 1884 an average of Ct, 600 bar
rels of petroleum. Here is tho basis
Tor some entertaining mathematical
work, the aim in view being to deter.
mine how long the oil supply of this
country is likely to last. If25.O00. 600
barrels are consumed each year, there
must DO hole of considerable size left
in the earth's interior, and a the oil
yielding region is not comparatively
speaking, very extensive, this hole
must ultimately represent moro than q
minor fraction of what was once the
seemingly ine1haustable source of oil
supply. The conclusion is, that BY the
time petroleum fails, ingenuity will
probably have placed electricity at the
command Of the poor and isolated. a

England is in trouble as she has al
ways been, on account of meddlip9 with

Guinea, between it and Australia, and
In south Africa has extended its domain
so as to check tho struggling propensi-

host of government employees. Ho-

during the interim, bat all classes are
