Nuggets.

Chambers Jounal.
The largest nugget ever found
in California was discovered in
November,, 1854, at Carson Hill,
Calaveras county. 1t weighed .1S0
pounds. Another weighing 149
pounds was soon afterward found
at the same place.
In Augusta, 1869, W. A. Parish,
A. Wood, J. Winstead, F, Clevers
and Harry Warner :were partners
in the Monumental claim near the
Sierra Buttes, in Sierra county
During the last week in that
month they discovered huge
nugget, which weighed 1888
ounces troy. 1t was sold to R. B. B.
Woodward, of San Francisco, who
paid $21, ,637 for it for exhibition
purposes. 1t was afterward melted
and realized $17655. Sierra is
justly famed for the nuggets it has
produced. It was in this county,
at spot known as French Ravine,
that a nugget valued at $4,000
was found in 1850.
The biggest nugget of gold ever
found in Shasta county was dis
covered in 1870. One day three
Frenchmen, two of whom were
named Oliver Longchamp and
Fred Rochon, drove into the old
town of Shasta in search Of a spot
to mine. They happened to have
some business with A. Colemen, a
dealer in hardware. The three asked
him where was a good place to
mine. He carelessly pointed in a.
northerly direction and said: "Go
over to Spring Creek" They took
his advice and located a claim on
the creek about eight miles north
of Redding, and in few days one
of the party picked up q nugget
worth $4,000.

The Discovery of Coffee.
BROOKLYN Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Toward the middle of the 18th
century'a poor Arab was travelling
in Abyssinja. Finding himself
weak and weary he stopped near a
grove. Being in want of fuel to
cook his rice he cut down tree,
which happened to be covered with
dried berries. His meal being
cooked and eaten, the traveller
discovered that these half burned
berries were fragrant. He collected
a number, and on crushing them
with stone he found the aroma
increased to great extent.
While wondering at this, he ac-
cidentally let the substance fall
into a can which contained his
scanty supply of water. Lo, what
a miracle! The almost putrid
liquid was partially purified. He
raised it to his lips. 1t was fresh
and agreeable, and after a short
rest the traveller so far recovered
his strength and energy as to be
able to resume his journey.
The lucky Arab gathered as
many berries as he could, and hav-
ing arrived at Alden in Arabia he
informed the mufti of his discov-
cry. That worthy was an inveter-
ate opium smoker, who had been
suffering: for years from the in
fiuence of the poisonous drug. He
tried an infusion of the roasted
berries and was so delighted at the
recovery of his former vigor that
in gratitude to the tree he called
it camuha: which in Arabic signi-

Ats pounds each, or all average of

Boats for the Sufferers.

The Columbia Register of the
Sd inst, says: When Governor
Tillman visited the storm sufferers
on the coast in September he found
that many people who, depended
upon fishing and such like for a
living had lost their boats. He
therefore ordered fifty boats made,
which has been done and he has
been informed by Lieutenant
Beardsley of the marine service on
the coast that fifty families are now
using the boats which are great
help to them. The boats were paid
for out Of the funds contributed
for the relief of the sufferers.

AS Hard to XIII az 4 Cat.

Benjamin Dow, who was terribly in
jured in recent nitro lycerine explo-
sion at the High Explosive company's
works, Lima, Ohio, is able to be out.
His case is remarkably interesting
one. This last explosion was the third
one at the same factory that he has
gone through and escaped alive, al
though his working companions were
killed, and In the one Of last Novem-
Der his working mate, Andy Shutes,
was blown to atoms, only shreds Of his
remains being found. Dow was blown
thirty feet, trees were uprooted, their
branches falling on him, and when res
cued he was conscious, remaining SO
for many days, finally recovering and
returning to- work, only to remain a
short time, when the deadly STUFF went
of, killing poor Robinson, who was
working by his side. Dow was again
found in a semi-unconscious condition,
with his skull and jaw fractured, an
eye blown out and shreds Of flesh torn
from oil over his body. The doctors
removed him to Mrs. Meyers private
hospital and dressed his wounds. but
expected him to die at any moment
When told that he could not live he re-
piled: We'll, we will see.''. Again his
wonderful nerve has pulled him

MAJOR OF THE TENTH MAINE

A Newfoundland Dog Which Saw
Much Service and Died In Battle.
The Tenth Maine infantry was one
Of the best disciplined and best drilled
regiments in the Union army, says the
Lewiston Journal One Of its men,
bers entitled to honorable mention was
Newfoundland dog called Major. He
was always in advance Of the front
line of battle, and as the bullets flew
around him he would bark and jump
at them and tear the ground where
they struck. On the march he took
his place on the right of the regiment
with his company, at the side Of the
sergeant. Company H claimed him,
but he was the favorite of all. The
men shared their delicacies, when they
were fortunate enough to- have any,
with him. He was welcome wherever
he chose to stay. When the men of
the Tenth Maine engaged in any scuft1e
among themselves he looked on uncon-
cernedly, but never offered TO take
sides, but if a stranger took hand
or another dog appeared he would go
for him in moment. Major had seen
service before with New Hampshire
regiment and was at Bull Run. He
wore silver collar, ON which was
engraved every battle he was in. On
the retreat from Winchester he was
captured, but not liking the Confed-
crates he escaped and found his way
to the regiment He passed through
Cedar Mountain and Antietam without
injury, but died at Sabine Crossroads,
La, at his post Of duty in advance
Of the front line of battle. His men,
