Werlc of the United. States . Geodetic. Surrey. , in f. Nevadi Reflections From a mirror Disting-nianed for a Distance of Two Hundred ; iniles. ; The Eureka (Nev.) Leader gives some interesting intelligence concerning the work of a party connected with th United States Coast and Geodetic Sur vey, now at work in that vicinity, un der the direction of Joseph Davis. The, Leader) says: The present, working headquarters of the survey is at Arc- Dome Peak, near thehead of Reese River, in Nye county. From this point the en tire adjacent country for a radius of two hundred miles is being triangulated, by means bf heliotropic signal lights placed, oa alL proroinent ; ;peaks withiu the Lrangftoti)bsexvation. It isia the pur- tion oh Diamond Peak that Mr. Davis visits Eureka, and he will leave to-morrow for that point, where he will be stationed for four or five weeks to come.. T:he heliotrope is an instrument used for signaling to an observer at a distance by means of the sun's rays re-' fleeted from mirror. The instrument in itself is , quite simple. It consists of a tele scope, mounted the same as ah ordinary1 surveyors transit, aajustaDie .to any. vertical pr horizontal angier tnus mat ing it capable ot being accurately direct ed to any ;:determined point. On the; tap of the telescope there are two sight?; muchr resembling a globe sight on a rifle, but considerably larger. Back of these sights a small adjustable - PliATE-GLASS MIRROKj three or four inches in diameter, is placed, and the sun's rays, caught by this, arexlirected toward an observer at a distance, the reflection of the sun's rays from the mirror are seen by him, and it has been demonstrated that this reflection can be distinguished on a clear day for a distance of two hundred miles. , In the use of the heliotrope by the Coast Survey, an! exploring party is first sent ahead to determine promi nent peaks that may be observed for a great distance from the home station. At present the coast survey has one of these heliotropes at almost- eveiy prominent peak in this section of the country, among which are "White Pine and Hot Creek Peaks, Mount Jefferson, Diamond Peak, and a number of oth ers that we do not recall. They have also a monument on Prospect Mountain for the purpose of establishing the exact longitude for the United States Geolog ical Survey, whose workings center at that point. Mr. Davis will have his sta tion established on DIAMOND PEAK in a couple of days, when he will com mence a system of signaling, with head quarters at Arcdome Peak, a distance of ninety-one miles. By means of a pre arranged sj'stem of signals, the helio trope is used as a sort of telegraphic communication, and Mr. Davis' move ments and work will be entirely direct ed by means of these sun dispatches from headquarters. When viewed from a great distance these lights are a very beautiful sight, resembling as they do an immense blazing star just rising ov er the peaks on which thev are station ed. There is not a boy in the country who has not at some time or other exacted a vast deal of amusement from .dazzling the eyes of parties at a distance with the sun's rays, reflected from a bit of broken looking-glass, and upon the same principal the useful instrument we have just de scribed is constructed. The heliotrope on the lofty summit of a high moun tain in the same manner dazzles the eyes of the far distant observer with a bit of looking-glass no larger than your hand. It does not seem possible that so small a reflecting surface could be seen at such a great distance, but it is clearly discernible, and at a distance of forty or fifty miles it is so dazzling as to hurt the eyes. The United States Geodetic Survey is engaged in mining on the thirty-ninth parallel, from SAN FRANCISCO TO NEW YORK, Takiug a strip of country straight through, of an average width of two or three hundred miles. The survey is a most thorough and complete one, and will establish the line of its work with such precision as to make it the authen tic data for all subsequent astronomi cal and geographical calculations in the united, states. . ne survey is moving eastward at a very slow rate, and it will probably be several years before the Rocky Mountains are reached, a point where the eastern division or the . sur vey will be met. Mr. Davis informs us that so far they have been engaged nearly three years in the State of -Nevada. - This seems an unusual lencth of time to accomplish the survey of so small a section of. country, but when the accuracy of the work is taken into cousiderationlt will be better .under stood; The simple topography of' the country is not the only- thing to be de termined by this enterprise, but the longitude and; latitude will he so pre cisely arrived atas! not to vary even .a half an inch at any given point on the line. Elections in September. The States liolding elections' in Sep tember are Arkansas, on the 6th ; Ver mont on the 7th, and Maine, on the 13th. It is generally conceded that Arkansas will as usqal, go largely Democratic, and Vermont quite as largely Republican, The principle interest, , therefore cen tres in Maine, which from-1856 to 1878 was reliably itepuoiican. The latter year the Greenback vote of 41,404 with the Democratic, vote of - 27,87.2 gave a majority against the Republicans of 7,243, and elected both branches of theleg- lSiatureand two or tne nve members of Congress. In 1879 the Greenback- Democratic combination had 492 major- ity over the Republicans, but the latter carried both branches oi tne .Legislature and elected the Governor;1 after a con siderable struggle witli Gov. Carcelon and the fusion legislators- in Maine it, requires a majority pf the votes cast to elect a State' ticket. Amendments to the constitution of the State : are now pending for adoption or rejection by the people substituting the usual system of electing uy plurality. i is aiso propos ed to postpone State elections hereafter to November, A Fortnnate Rug Jan Merchant. Mr. Jacob Rablner has for the past fifteen years conducted a gentlemen's general furnishing goods store with success, by fair dealing and. low prices. He, In the July drawing, followed the usual custom of all continental Europeans-nd put dollar in the grand monthly distribution of . the .Louisiana State Lottery Company buying a bal ticket of. M.

Woman Claiming to lave Been Re lleredof .CancerV - T 4" '": Cincinnati Gazette. . J . V , i. A visit was paid yesterday' afternoori by a Gazette reporter to o-called caini cer infirmary" in this city. He entered a rather dilapidated ante-room on' the. second floor; where a few medicine bbt ties and a vapor bath apparatus iri one corner of the room plainly indicated the profession of the occupant. Thei latter is dignified by the rtame of Vita4 pathic Electro-Magnetic Ozone Medi4 cated Vapor Bath. Hi was pleasantly' met by a benignant-looking old gentle man with white locks, whose closely but-i toned coat, over which is turned, downs a white collar, made htm resemble a minister of the gospeh 3The -:object of "the visit was declared to bsF aninspeci tion of the huge mammaryfcancfir which the doctor had removed from one of hiss female patients. The doctor had noi hesitation in gratifying the, reporter'si wishes, and called the patient into the; room. She proved to be a woman not; over thirty, who had come from Pendle ton county, Ky., having a husband and: Itwo children. She modestly openedi her bosom, and disclosed a sight which was enough to shock the nerves . or a strong man. Just above her lef threast was a deep, festering hole, as though it had been bored with an augur a cavi ty about two inches in diameter and two incnes m oentn. .a. snenwy ieuu odor emanated therefrom ; but this . was nothing compared to the nauseat ing smell before the operation, Trav eling on the boat, the poor woman had been obliged to lock herself in her state-i room, so overpowering"was the smell to the passengers. It was removed by the use of escharotics, without burning, cut ting, drugging or pain. She felt a slight itching in the cavity at present, but de clared that she had experienced no, pain during the, operation. 1 it took ten days to remove the fungus growth, and it will take about three weeks more to heal the wound. The remedy used was a fluid, which first softened and loosen the cancer, and then gradually dissolved the putrid matter. The woman herself pulled the last vestige of the monster out by the roots and flung it away. She contracted the disease about fourteen months ago, and noticed at first a black spot on her bceast about the size of an ordinary marble, which grew sensibly, and finally almost threat end her life, i The doctor belongs to the4 vitapathic school, aad illustrated his theory on the reporter, who complained of a severe headache. With the lef t hand, which he said contained the negative electrici ty, he rubbed the forehead gently, while with the right hand he rubbed at the same time the back part of the neck; stating that the right contained the positive electricity. The combination of the two, he asserted, neutralized the unhealthy condition of the head, and brought on normal action. The re porter felt an easing sensation, but, in due deference of the vitaphatic theory, must acknowledge that the headache soon returned with as great a violence as ever. Such a thing as a successful cure of cancer is. not known. - lie Watt Going (o Denver. Oil City Derrick. There is another fool who talks loud in the cars, and by the same we know that the only time he ever left home was when he went on a cheap excursion to Philadelphia and carried a lunch in his pocket. He has the silver-fever, and is going to Denver. This fact he announces as soon as the car starts by bidding good-bye to his friends, and telling them in a voice like a hotel-gong to write him all the news, and remem ber the postoffice will be Denver, Color ado. He goes at once to the newsboy, and while buying a five-cent cigar in forms him that he presumes he can't get as good cigars in Denver as he can here. The newsboy at once makes an estimate of his foolishness and says: "Going to Denver, are you V" "Oh, yes," is the response; as if it was an every day occurrence for him to go there. And the newsboy marks him for a vic tim and plies him' with pamphlets and candies, apples and oranges, and reck oneth up Ins profits that night at 10 per cent, advance over previous days. He who is going to Denver return eth to his seat and informs the man in his rear that "piles of fortunes are to be made in Colorado." "Going there?" asks the passenger, not for information, for that has been given; "but to test the young man's foolishness. ' Oh, yes," he says. He leaned forward to the man in the front seat and says, "How far yu goin'?" "Pittsburg. How far are you V" "I'm going to Denver." "You are?" "Oh, yes." The conductor comes along and takes his ticket. . "Do I get a train through to Denver as soon as I change ?" "Yes. Going to Denver?" "Oh, yes." And the conductor winketh and the pas sengers smile at his conceit. But the time of rejoicing cometh when the pas senger in the front seat gets off and his place is taken by a man who is not at all' curious. To. him sayeth the young man for Denver: "Pleasant weather." "Yes." "Probably it is cooler in Den ver?" "Probably." "I'll find out in a few days." No answer. The young man feels as if his importance wasn't recognized and makes another attempt: "I s'pose there is a pretty good chance to make a fortune in Colorado?" "I don't kno w " " Well, I'm going there to find out." Another silence, during which the passengers look out . of the window' and smile. The young man draws a long breath and starts in again : "Not many fellows who'd go so far from home and depend on themselves for a living." . The silence, becomes op pressive, but the young man -is perse vering. He leans over, taps the man on the shoulder, and says:, .You'd bet ter go along to Denver with me. Then the passenger wakes up and he says: "Thunder, young man: I've lived in Denver ten years i Ana me passen gers Weep not ; neither do they wail, but verily they feel that their days are fall of fun and pleasure. Cupid at Saratoga. -fx The story comes from' Saratoga that a young i gentleman irom New York saw a certain young lady at one of Lo thian's Biorning poncerts and . fell des perately in love 'with her. He sought her name: and f subsequently an intro duction; Courted her diligently for two days 'and upon the third was able to in- troauce ner as u- amauueu wire. J.ne -gentleman is very fine looking, ; but ;;' is comparatively poor, while the ' lady is really one of the handsomest that have been at Saratoga this summer, and, be side being the child of ' very wealthy parents, is said to -be as modest and ftmiable as she is beautiful. ' The lady also resides in New York, and has been summering with her parents at the Grand Union, but her lover's finances compelled him to take a less pretentious place, and he , is a guest at one of the smaller hotels.
