The latest news from the gold ex Litement near Carson, Nevada, is giv- en by Foreman Holman of the Gould < Curry of Virginia Ciy, who has just returned from there. In an in terview, he said:
 "I have made thorough investiga tion and regard the excitement as on a gond foundation. These discoverie, are as good as those made on th. Comstock, and if surface indlcalio n. amount to anything, the result will b, heavy influx of mining men wi,hi, the coming week Several surveyors are now on the ground surveyin. about fifty claims. There seems some time to have been an upheava which pushed the lodges through the surface.

How He Found Out That There Wss
 something Wrong About His Dress.
 Here is case of absent-m indedness which, according to the New York Trib- une, caused the victim a good deal of embarrassment. although, as he after ward said in melancholy tone, he might have fared worse than he did. F-- was to attend theater party one evening, and went home rather early to dress. He ascended the steps of the house where he was to join his friends only about half an hour before the time set for starting for the theater. When the maid opened the door he stepped in and, unbuttoning his over coat, threw it back. She looked at him in peculiar way, and then turned her head quickly as if she were trying to hide smile.
 F- happened to look down at his shoes and then said hurriedly to the maid:
 "Oh. you needn't announce me vet, and don't say any thing about this: that's good girl"
 He hurried out again and rushed for A cab.
 Drive as rapidly as you can," he said, breathlessly.
 He startled his family by bustling into tho house like a tempest.
 Whats the matter, Will?" asked his mother you will be late, won't you?"
 What's the matter!" cried F.. "Lock at me!' and he threw of his overcoat. He was in evening dress that is, he supposed that he was. But when dressing he had put on, in fit of absent-mindedness, pair of light checked trousers. The combination of evening dress as regards coat and waist coat and immaculate shirt front and trousers was so ludicrous that F--'s brother simply roared with laughter. F., however, had torn uo- stairs to dress himself properly. He was downstairs in wink. His brother followed him out to the cab, and as the vehicle whisked away, F. stuck his head out of the window, and said:
 Great Scott. suppose I had gotten into that room full of people before l discovered how was dressed"
 He was little late, but very contented to escape so lightly.

ls this firm on the

stion, and gave the PRospECToR an idea of the business which the firm does. It has only been in active operation since January, and in that short space of time has pushed to one side many more formidable | rivals.
 The only remarkable thing about this is that this is the first and only fish packing establishments in southern California. For years it has been the same old tale "the water was not cold enough to make the meat of the fish in southern waters firm enough to pack" but an old time Cape Cod fish -rman came along and saw the oppor- tunity of d life time; interested capi- tat, brought out packers from Massa- chusetts and the work went on.
 Now for the result: After packing, the Barracuda, Mackerel, Bloaters, and even Sardines, were subjected to all degrees of heat that would spoil an ordinary salted fish, and they were found to carry the same firm texture that they have when fresh from the water.
 We were shown samples which Mir. Glover carried with him, and although subjected to heat of lO6 for the past ten days, they are as firm as beef. steak and as sweet as n nut.
 The works are at Wilmington, the Los Angeles shipping point. Every thing that benefits southern Casifor- mia is beneficial to Arizona and vice versa and this industry adds ano,he. to the lcng list of dormant opportuni- ties which have sprung into life during | the past ten years.

reople who go to Chili must not make the mistake of supposing that the far away land is good place to wear out old clothes in, for there is no city where the latest fashions prevail to greater extent.

Badly Rusted Coronets,

Dlsgraced and blackguard peers are now quite strong body in England. says the Chicago Herald. One of the Irish earls, who was corporal in the Life Guards before he succeeded to his title. did six months of hard labor for some breach of military discipline. Another peer, an English one, and the son of lord high chancellor. can never show his face in the house of lords again. He committed disgusting crime. He has dropped his title and IS now clerk to firm of auctionccrs in Australia. The marquis of Aylesbury still affects his cOstcrmongcr suit on odd occasions, and likes to make n bet that he will sell a barrow of greens as quickly as any hawker in Whitcchapcl. By the way, it is interesting to note in the pccragc for 1891 that the march, ioncss once known as Dolly Tester now figures as Dorothy Julia. daughter of T. llascly, Esq" Testers papa was about as unmi,igated ruflian of the tough tribe as England has ever n~o- ouced' WHO BREAKS PAYS.

 When the painter came down next morning he thrust his cane through the makcshift with the remark: "Iic that breaks pays" None of the class. how. ever, took the hint and the next morn. ing another sheet of paper was pasted across the window. It met the same fate. And so on the next day, and so on the fourth.
