Big Nuggets of Gold.
the Virginia CITY Enterprise.

From the Virginia City Enterprise.
In the winter of 40 the writer OF
this saw and handled the largest piece
OF gold that had yet been found in
California. 1t weighed twenty-five
pounds and nine ounces and was esti-
mated, by carefully weighing in water
and otherwise, to contain about five
pounds OF quartz, the rest being pure
gold. The finder sold it for $4,000
and it was subsequently sold in San
Francisco for $4,000. It was found
at Sonora, then known as the Sonori-
an Camp, i'll Tuolumne County, on
the headwaters OF Woods Creek, by a.
lazy old Mexican "greaser," who was
roofing or 'seoyoteing" about in holes
or pits that the whites and others had
dug out and abandoned in the out
skirts Of the town. AS soon as he
found it he washed it off, took it to
the nearest monte bank and lost
$500 on it as soon as he could con-
veniently. Naturally when the sgame"
got such a good hold on the "chunk"
they did not let go, but kept the
old fellow drunk for a day or two, or till
they owned it in full allowing him S.
OOOforit He had lots of fun in a very
short space Of time for his $1,000
nugget In this connection the Grass
Valley Union of Oct. 10 prints the
following information:
ssLou1s Blanding says the generally
accepted statement that the largest
nugget ever found in California was
worth a little more than $21, 900 is
an erroneous one. He says that J. J..
Finney, odd Virginia. found a piece
of gold about six miles from Downie-
vile, Sierra County, on the Dist day
Of August, 1857, that weighed 5000
ounces. The gold Of that vicinity was
worth S18 an ounce, which would
make the value OF the nugget some
100000. This would make the Fin
ney nugget the largest piece OF pure
gold ever disco vered, so far as accounts
go. Heret ofore the Australian nugget,
found in the Ballarat gold fields, has
been considered the largest. 1t WIS

Where DR.. Talmage Got His Tip.

The Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, when
in town the other day, said that he
owed much of his success in life to the
suggestion OF a newspaper reporter.
He was engaged to lecture in Balti-
more several years ago, and just be-
fore he was to begin his discourse the
newspaper man, who had been sent to
report the address, inquired, in an
off-hand way:
"Well, DR.. Talmage, are you going
to give us many points to-night?''
"Points?" repeated the clergyman.
Points,
Eyes replied the reporter, "you
won't get much space tomorrow un-
less your lecture is full of good points
that the paper can't afford to leave
out"
81 thought very deeply over the re-
porter's words, . said DR.. Talmage, in
telling the story, and Isaw that they
were full of sound wisdom. Since that
time | have always endeavored to
make my lectures and sermons and
literary work bristle with points -

and phrases. Philadelphia Press.

Horace Greeley, The Farmer.

Lie MOnlnly advance JellS a. gOOQ
story Of Greeley, at the expense of the
late Stanley Huntley, who was once a
reporter on the Tribune. Huntley
was sent to report a meeting OF the
Farmers Club, of which, at that
time, Mr.. Greeley was President. The
members got into a dispute over anew
kind OF potato, and the reporter
lit was his first journalistic etfort),
gave a very funny account of it, which
he took to the office, and not finding
the city editor in at the time, threw
the report in the dummy box for the
compositors, and sent it up stairs in
the usual way
The next day the article appeared
on the first page of the Tribune, and
young Huntley thought he had ssstruck
it rich in his new situation, and
locked forward to being made man.
AGING editor.
When he arrived at the Office and
entered the city room he noticed a
smile spread over the other reporters
faces, but attributing it to jealousy
he calmly seated himself at his desk
In a few minutes the city editor called
him and said that Mr.. Greeley wanted
to see him. Casting alook Of triumph
around the room. the young reporter
walked to Mr., Greeley's Office. The
door was closed. He raped gently.
Come in, responded a shrill, fall
setto voice.
Mr.. Huntly did so. Mr.. Greeley
wheeled around in his chair with, ssWell,
sir, what can do for you?"
"You sent for me, sir.
"For you? What is your name?"
STANLEY Huntley"

experienced a sudden decline. He
