Itis probable that they are not real bands, but are composed of dark patches which seem to the eye ~ to make long bands. Their cause is not yet clearly known, as the gbservations in’ former eclipses are quite discordant. ae Battalion Drill. Col. J. W. Guthrie of the First Artillery Regiment and Lieutenant W. R. Ormsby, Paymaster on his staff, were here Saturday evening to attend the inspection and battalion drill of Company C. There were present 46 imembers of the Company. The onel eomplimented the boys in very highly for their efficiency in and for the good condition of their equipments. Alleged Aspirants. —Among the Nevada county Republicans who are spoken of as aspirants for positions under the jncoming administration are the names of Hon. E. W. Roberts for the position of Register of the U. 8. Land Office in Sacramento, and T. H. Moore of Grass Valley for a position in the U. 8. Mint of San Francisco. They are both good men and worthy. Better Than smoked Glass. It.is said that for viewing a solar eclipse a piece of punctured paper is much better than smoked glass, Take a piece of stiff, white writing paper, say note, legal-cap or fools-cap, thrust_a fine needle through it the eclipse can be viewed with comfort.

Mr. Beatty, County Clerk, testified to receiving the package, andehat it had pot been tampered with, and-hadbeen. under lock atid key since it came into his possession.

In the absence of proof that s. the ballots have been tampered with there can be but one result.

If my judgment on this point or any other is not correct it is subject to. review by higher Court. It might be suggested as extraordinary that so many ballots were scratched in favor of Mp, Lord, I went through them all carefully to ascertain ifthere were other such apparent discrepancies. I found that on both sides the Sheriffs’ names were scratched 120 times ‘and the Recorders’ 144 times. There were hardly any straight ballots on either side. His honor concluded his remarks, the substance only of which is given above, by giving judgment in favor of the contestantin accordancé with the tally ofthe recount. He requested counsel for the contestant to prepare findings and judgmentin accordance with such decision. Five days’ stay of proceedings was granted.

Their cause is not yet clearly known, as the gbservations in’ former eclipses are quite discordant. ae Battalion Drill. Col. J. W. Guthrie of the First Artillery Regiment and Lieutenant W. R.
