The Highest Mountain AltItuas.

Captain Emilio Herrera, of Santiago,
Chill, claims to have ascended to an
altitude never before reached by the
foot of man. Having noticed that the
peak of Aconcagua had been covered
by stratum Of snow that would make
the ascent a little less laborious, he
waited two days in half way cabin,
and then started for the summit on a
cloudIess morning, with three guides
and a variety of mountaineering gear.
Up to height of 81, 600 feet the air.
though cold, could be breathed with
tolerable ease; higher up the explorer
was seized with dizziness and peculiar
pain in the region of the temples. One
of the guides refused to go any further,
but his companions pushed ON till they
reached sheer precipice Of porphyry,
about 200 feet below the highest PIN
nacle. Here. at height of %, 300 feet
above the plainly visible Pacific, they
rested for half an hour, almost frozen
in the attempt to manipulate their
instruments, but upheld by the con-
sciousness of standing 600 feet above
the summit of Mount Chimborazo; and
then started back for their cabin; which
they reached about an hour after sum

We frequently cali flies q nuisance,
set traps for them, poison them, and do
our best to annihiiate them as worthless
and intolerable creatures; and yet the
life of a fly is one of busy usefulness for
the service and good Of man. He is
scavenger Of untiring activity, and with
80 keen and quick vision that no par
ticle of offensive matter can escape him.
1t is his business to pounce upon every
such speck, and remove it at once. With
every such particle he carries away
miasma that would poison the air we
breathe.
Some Of these particles are too small
to be visible, but as they are infinite Ia
number, il left to accumulate, they
would soon be a greater plague than an
army of flies. At times the buzzimg IN.
sects may seem a torment hard to be
borne, but their services should not be
forgotten
If the foot Of fly Is put under the
glass of a good microscope. it may be
seen how simple is the contrivance that
seems able to defy the laws Of gravita-
tion. The foot is made up Of two pads,
covered with short hairs, with pair Of
curved hooks above them. Behind each
pad is a tiny bag filled with clear liquid
gum, the hairs also being hollow, and
filed with the same sticky fluid.
As the fly gIides rapidly overa smooth
surface, every step presses out supply
Of gum, strong enough TO give him a
sure footing, and to sustain him In safety

that that upon one Of lIis six feet is quite
sufficient to sustain the weight Of his
Whole body. But if he stands still the
gum may dry up and harden quickly,
and so securely fasten the travellers foot
as to make a sudden step snap the leg

is furnished with at least a thousand

A St. Louis Woman Angered by Her
Lawyers laughter.
A well known St Louis lawyer was
called on one day during the past week
by lady whose name is not unfamiliar
to the readers of the society columns Of
the newspapers, aud consulted ON the
subject of divorce. She was not quite
clear in her own mind as to whether she
-wanted divorce or not, and, even after
she had been told just what steps were
necessary in the ordinary case she seemed
to be in puzzled frame of mind. With
a delicacy characteristic of limbs of the
law whose practice takes them into the
divorce courts, the legal light undertook
to find out what it was she was holding
back, aud finally said to her:
You will have to tell all the facts If
yen want me to take your case. / can
not proceed in tile dark, and can plainly
see something is on your mind that you
have not told me.
Yes, there is, " she said, @and, in fact,
l am not sure that want you to take
my case, or, in fact. that will have
case. You see, my case. IL Iapply for a
divorce, will be just twice as bad as the
ordinary case. for the very simple reason
that Henry and were married twice
once privately and with only the
necessary witnesses, and the second
time four months afterward in a church
and with big reception. and, Of course.
there will have to be two divorces in
order to set me entirely free.
The lawyer laughed In fact, he
laughed so long and so heartily that the
lady got mad and founced out of the
office, vowing that she would not have
divorce; that she had rather fight it
out with her twice married husband
than be laughed at by lawyer LIST.

CONGRESSIONAL.
IN THE SENATE.


WASHINGTON, January 7th.-In the Senate
the conference report on the public printing de-
fciency bill was agreed to.
The financial bill was then taken up, and
Daniel spoke in favor of free coinage.
Plumbsfollowed. He credited the Silver Act
of last session with having had the effect of
preventing a universal financial panic. What
ever may be said about its shortcomings. its
effect on the immediate situation has been of
munifcent character He did not share the
fears of the Senator from Ohio (Shermap) as TO
what would happen from the free coinage of
silver. Perhaps ne was not as sensitive on that
point as he might have been if he had not heard
60 often similar torbearings from the same
quarter that had not been realized. He (Plumb)
was not able TO give his support to the bill re-
ported by the Finance Committee. He was op-
posed TO the first section. providing for the pur-
chase of $4,000 900 worth of silver. 1t would,
of course, add that much money to circulation,
but it would bear on its face disposition to
help certain class of people at the expense of
the treasury. II was in the interest of our
trade and of honest money that the country
should establish as nearly as possible parity be-
tween gold and silver. The population of the
country was increasing at the rate of % per
cent, while business was increasing at the rate
OF per cent. Circulation should have relation
to both population and business There should
be International bimetalEsm. He,did not hold
that the free coinage OF silver was the cure for
all evils, but he did contend that 1t was a long,
wise and much needed step in the right direc-
ton.
Hiscock spoke agains. free coinage. The
people that ne represented never believed that
the free coinsge of silver would place that
metal on parity with gold.
IN THE HOUSE.

Senate bill increasing from fifty to seventy the

The Marysville Citrus Fair Will Be a.
World -Beater.

. SOFtts-beater
lMarysville Appeal January 6sh.l
The people of Northern and Central Cali
fornia may be congratulated on the GER
talnty that the citrus fair to open in Marys-
VILE on Monday, the 18th instant will be
the most beautiful spectacle OF its kind ever
seen on earth. This may sound like ex-
uaVagance, but it is sober fact. Citrus fairs
are confined to California and Florida, and
not before IN America has such pains been
taken or opportunity afforded for elaborate
ana artistic decoration and grouping of ex-
hihits, such as will Be seen in the pavilion
here next week. 1t will be feast br the
eye; an astounding. enhancing display of
beauty in foliage and fruit. Everybody in
the State should see it, for it will be worth
long Journey to behold. 1t is to be a
proud week for Northern California, for
Mafysvllle is doing more than justice to
the occasion. Scores Of enthusiastic,ladies
are lending their skill and taste to volun-
tary labors of adornment Some idea of
the extent of the decoration may be gained
from the bare statement that thousands of
ieet OF evergreen "rope"-literaIly more
than mile of it--has been made for fes-
toons, wreaths and ornamental effects. and
many thousands of oranges have been used
IN the ornamentation of the walls and CELL
iDgs.
Such beauty and fullness of decoration as
VIII distinguish this fair has never before
been attempted in displays of citrus fruits.
AND the showing of fruit promises,,c be of
completeness, merit and attracsiveness
corresponding to the decorative effects.
our citrus fair is to be a splendid object
lesson, combining education with enter
Islnment; world. beater and glory to the
