SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.--A ledge of
gold-bearing quartz has been found by men
engaged in grading at Seventh street in this
city. This street is being cut through
bluff varying from forty to tifty-five feet
high and about three hundred feet long.
Three years ago a tunnel was sunk through
the hill TO allow the laying of a large water
main to the reservoir on Clarendon Heights,
and low-grade quartz was then discovered.
The quartz which Is now declared to show
traces of gold, was uncovered by blast.

Golden Weddlng.-Sllver Wedding; q
Double Celebration,

a notable event occurred in West
Windsor last Saturday afternoon, it
being the celebration of the golden
wedding OF Charles NJ. Sherman
and wife and the silver wedding of
their son, Charles S. Sherman, and
wife, of Windsor. Twenty-Five
years ago the old couple celebrated
their silver wedding and ut the same
time their son was married to Mary
]. Perkins. A large number of rel
atives and friends were present Sat
urday, among who were Judge
Sherman OF Lawrence, Mass. O..
d. Blood, Mrs. Sherman's brother,
of Claremont, \. II. Hank White
and wife of Felchville, and Frank
Hale and wife of Windsor.
The afternoon was spent in Il
good old-fashloned "visit" beneath
the spreading naples that surround
the old brick homestead, on the
pleasant farm that lies on Il sunny
southern slope almost in the shadow
of grand old Ascutncy mountain.
A bountiful supply of refreshments
was provided and the countenances
of the worthy couples beamed with
health and happiness as they well
coined their many friends. c. NJ.
Sherman was unanimously nominat-
ed for representative at the Repub-
lican caucus held few days before,
which shows the high estimation in
which he is held by his fellow

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

In the regular biennial Vamsn
election Tuesday the republicans
elected their entire state ticket
headed by Edward c. Smith of St.
Albans for governor, and reelected
Henry Powers of MorristOwn and
William w. Grout OF Barton to rep.
resent the Ist and I'd congressional
districts, respectively. Smiths ma.
jority is about $4,000.
The result of the election is no,
wholly gratifying to the Republi.
cans, while Democrats express
themselves as satisfied with Their
vote, considering the lack of interest
displayed by them during the cam.
paign, while the opposition were
aggressive by conducting a district
canvass throughout the state which
was designed not to be excelled in
any off year campaigns.
The Republicans were anxious to
have large vote polled for the rca-
son that the result is the basis 70,
representation in the next state con-
vention and that the party wished to
give the national administration &
strong endorsement.
Their efforts have been only par
TALLY successful, and for an off year
it is likely not to be above the aver
age. The weather was prominent
factor.
An overwhelming Republican
victory is always anticipated in this
state, and the chief anxiety about
the result is whether the figures cor
respond favorably with those of pre-.
vious elections in corresponding
years, when national issues enter in
to the contest, or there are only local
issues.
In the town of Hartford fou,
years ago when there was no agita-
ton on the subject, the Democratic
candidate for representative received
only IL votes while the candidate
today, William G. Renehan, who
publicly announced himself in favo,
Of high license, received I5s votes,
though the Democratic candidate
for governor received only Io6
While the Republicans made
special effort and reclaimed Sharon

Also like result seems to have
been obtained in Rockingham, Ben

POPE LEO'S ROOMS.

sacsed Corners In the Vatican seldom
Seen by InGuisitiyt Visitora
The rooms actually inhabited by
Pope Leo in the Vatican are not nu-
mcrous, and only the cardinals, his
immediate surroundings md those
who are granted Il special audience
are admitted Access to them is
reached from the Corte Damaso by
the Scala Regia, opposite the cele-
brated sistine chapel, which latter,
although it actually forms part of
the private apartments, is not diff.
cult of access to the general public.
The furniture of all the anterooms
is modern and very simple, being
made up of red damask and velvet,
with gold lace h"nsinss. There is
nothing in them specially to attract
the eye OF to remind us that we arc
invading tho privacy of the ponttf
save the bnldachini, or caEopieS,
which are made use of i'll process.
sions and otha' functions and which
have similar upholstery. Under one
of these the pope,takes his solitary
meals, for by the etiquette of the
court he is not permitted to enter
tain even this nearest Of his relatives
or to eat otherwise than alone.
The private library, which over
looks tho piazza of st. Peter, has
three windows, but some years ago
the present pope diminished its APP
parent size by means of Il richly en-
broidered damask screen, artistical-
ly disposed and lightly supported by
elegant columns, which divides the
room into two parts. The walls are
furnished with bookcases of pearly
wliteness, picked out in gold with
golden foliage, but the books which
repose IN these shelves, as we'll as
the numerous manuscripts, are not
visible, being for the most part
carefully covered by green silk
hangings. The screen only reaches
as far as the top of the windows,
and thus the upper part of the room
is left open.
The division Of the room which
has two windows contains but few
books, but on the side opposite the
screen is a large console in the style
of tho seventeenth century, on
which are placed Il cruciiiX and two
immense caIdelnbra. The only orna-
monts of the library consist of busts
of the pOpes--ten i'll numlber-among
which Plus VII and Plus IX are con

works. 1t is much to the credit OF
the victorious party that there was
no resort to disorderly proceedings
in the name OF celebrating. Long
before midnight the streets were as
quiet as on any night Credit Is due
to a number Of Republicans who on
the later ballots broke away from
their party in order to secure the
election of the best man in the field.
1t must also be said that many who
stood by the losing candidates to the
last accepted their defeat gracefully.
1t is not improbable that some who
on Tuesday voted Democratic for tie
first time will vote the same way
again. The Democratic town COM
mittee, headed by Chairman l. w
Clough, was simply indefatigable
during the canvass and on polling
day. Thu Republican organization
was unusually poor. The best cause,
the best candidate, the hest organ
ization and a divided enemy was the
combination that secured the victory.
