Atmospheric Phenomens.

Els. RECORD UNION: l wish to inform
you of sight we witnessed in the morn
ing of February 2sth about sunrise. We
live nearly twenty-five miles from Sacra-
mento City, due east, and we can see the
Capitol quite plain on clear days. On the
above named morning l looked in the di-
rectlon of the city. and to my surprise saw
two Capitols instead of one; they appeared
one above the other. and the upper one was
at least five times the size of the lower one.
At times the one in the air would settle
right over the other, and again rise way
above il until the dome rose to the sum-
NIT of the Coast Range. Then the dome
would become detached and float in differ
emf directions and again return and rise
until the Capitol and dome would be of
grand proportions. This phenomena lasted
about ten minutes. When the sun had
well risen it disappeared and we could but
family see the outlines of the Capitol itself,
there being large amount of vapor in the
air. 1t was no fog bank, for the mirage
in the sky looked more solid than
the one on the earth and elistened white.
took notice of the sunlight that morning
around Sacramento city. 1t was of light
red appearance, while between here and
there il was yellow.
al AASt was greatly dstOuisutu anu
came to the conclusion there was some
thing wrong with my vision. l called the
folks, and they saw the same. Together
we watched it until it disappeared
/ have read much about mirsges sailors
have seen at sea, and came to the conelu-
sion that it could be explained on the same

may publish this for the benefit of those
interested in such matters. Respectfully.

A Good Swimmer.

Yesterday morning the horse attached 10
Hebron butcher wagon became unman-
ageable in the vicinity of the depot, and
despite the efforts of the boy who was
driving, the animal dashed across the Yolo
bridge. the driver in the meanwhile Jump
ing out. The horse ran around the block
in Washington and started up the levee,
but the wagon collided with post, the
traces snapped, and the wagon was left be-
hind. The reins were so entangled in the
seat of the vehicle that that portion was
dragged along, and when just at the lower
side of the bridge the horse made one leap
from the bank and began to swim the
river, his progress being somewhat i'm
peded by the seat on the end of the reins.
The animal swan almost to the Sacra-
mento side, but not finding convenient
landing continued down the middle of the
river to about X street. when several par
ties went out IN boats and freed the animal
from the seat. He continued to about L

AN UGL Y DISCOVERY.
A Report That Should Re Read.

ga recent analyzation in Philadelphia by a
celebrated chemist of ten popular brands OF
sarsaparilla discloses theastonishing fact that
these ten samples Of blood purifiers ~ con-
tanned in the aggregate sixteen different min
erals, eleven of which were active poisons.
Iodide of potash was discovered in every sam
pie, mercury was found in all but two while
arsenic existed in six OF the ten brands Not
one brand was the pure article"
A reporter took the above clipping to E. W.
Joy, the manufacturer of Joys Vegetable sar-
saparilla- Mr.. Joy exhibited no surprise. He
said druggists knew it. He said he long ago
saw the crying need for safe and absolutely
pure vegetable preparation OF Sarsaparilla,
hence his was named joys vegetable sarsapa-
rilla, because it contained nothing but pure
syrup OF sarsaparilla, combined with the pure
juices Of CALIFORNIA; vegetable alternatives. I'M
like potash sarsaparillas, 1t does not force i'm
purities through the skin but stimulates the
various secretive organs, thereby correcting
functional arrangements and eliminating all
impurities through the natural channels

State-The Farmers Jubilant.
A week sgo farmers throughout the Sac
ramento valley and the foothills were be-
ginning to feel quite " blue" There had
been so little rain that it was feared the
coming would be dry season, and that
crops, both fruit and grain. would be quite
short. All fears are now dispelled, and
many are now beginning to cry for cessa-
ton of the downpour.
At the beginning of last week there was
less snow in the mountains than at the
same date for many years previous, and
many feared, especially those engaged in
river navigation, that during the coming
season the Sacramento would be SO low
that boats from the bay would be unable TO
reach this city.
The river has been navigated for forty
years, ard at no time during that period
has such thing occurred, that the Sacra-
merto was not navigable to Red Bluff. and
the Feather to Marysville, and the recent
storm insures sufficient snow in the
mountains to feed the rivers until snow
falls again another season.
The river in front of this city Tuesday
marked eight feet, and last night the gauge
showed twenty-one feet, with the river
still rising, showing that there has been a
copious downpour throughout the valley.
From all points it is learned that there has
been generous rainfall, and the farmers
and fruit-growers throughout the State are
jubilant.
Telegraphic reports yesterday from the
following points show the rainfall for "a
hours and for the season:
