While there I took a farey to visit the tni ning regions : so, selecting suitable goods to sell smong the miners, I went, satisfied my curiosity,made a little money, and was returning in the stage coach, when the inâ€" cidents I am about to relate occurred, or at leaast began to occur. "Thore were beside myself three inside passengers, an old gentleman of 60, and two roughly dressed men, apparently minâ€" ers. ‘These two men sat at opposite ends of the coach, not appearing to know each other, while the old gentleman and myself sat close together. I noticed that the old gentleman had a heavy tin or iron box beâ€" tween his legs, which he seemed to be anxâ€" ious to keep out of sight. For the Review. "After a short conversation with him en general subjects, Lallowed myself to drift gently into a doze ; and while in that conâ€" dition my ear, trained as it was to the inâ€" telligent sound of the telegraph instrument caught a faint tic, tic, which resolved itself into the following words : * ‘Bill, the young one is going to sleep, and I will tend to him while you pitch the old one out over the precipice when I make the signal, and then we will secure the box.‘ * <All right, Bob. â€" We will be to the Big Jumyp in twenty minutes. and then give the word and out he goes.‘ p Burhaim "I knew the preeipice to w..ich they rcâ€" ferred, a terrible place, where a miner had once jumped off in a fit of despair at his bad luck, from which it was known as the Big Jump. _ Mow to communicate to the old gentleman I was at a loss to underâ€" stand, but finally I took out a newspaper and underscored the words in a lengthy editorial, whieh, if read consecutively, would read ; ‘Be cantious, sir. The two villains here intend to murder and rob us in ten minutes. When I arise, you attack the one with the moustache and I will take the other, Kill if necessary.‘ The ‘Telegraph Detective. the hogs that in the mud and mire do wallow "Then I bhanded the old gentleman the paper, saying , ‘Have you read this, sir? It‘s a most splendid editorial.‘ "He took the paper, put on his glasses and commenced to read. Soon the underâ€" scored words drew his attention, and he began to study thew., Then I saw nim grow pale and feel for his box with his foot.

I saw we were near the Big Jump; and were going down m steep grade at a lively rate, when one of the vilâ€" lains telegraphed : " *Now I‘ i "The nest minute I was on him, knockâ€" ing him senscless with my revolver. The old gentleman did equally as well, the rufâ€" fians being taken completely by surpriso at ‘our sudden attack. We hal passed the 1 precipice now, and calling the driver to stop, he and the one outside passenger helped to bind our prisoners, whom he left | inside, while we climbed on top. But when j we arrived in Sacramento we found that *tlxe robbers had released each other and ) had dropped out somewhere along the i road. "The old gentleman introduced himself as Mr. Stamford, a Sacramento banker,and insisting on my accepting the hospitality of his home, saying that I hadâ€"saved his life and a large amount of money. I consentâ€" ed,; and was driven with him to his handâ€" some residence on the outskirts of the city, where I was introduced to his wife and two daughters, the former a kind niotherly woman, and the latter a handsome brunctte and a pretty blonde, "Three weeks‘ stay at Rose Hill, Mr. Stamford‘s home,with its lovely walks amid a wealth of tropical flowers, and the socieâ€" ty of Ella and Bianche Stamford, lovelier, if not more beauntiful, than the flowers which bloomed arcund them, only served to make ms wislt for a longer stay, and, when Mr. Stamford offered tua a position in his banking house, I most gladly accepâ€" ted it, not failing to take courago from the delight of the fsir Blancheâ€"whom I thought the lovelier of the two sistersâ€" when I told her of the offer and my deti« sign. "About this trme, Mr. Stamford, at his wife‘s requost, replaced two Irislk servants with two Chinamer, much to the former‘s violent denunciation. Mrs. Stamford was loud in her praise of her new help, who seemed to be active, orderly fellows,always ready, always willing, and always to be found at their posts, Trish girls called ‘Abâ€"Wing and h Lce,, I somehow conceived a decided aversion. There was, I thought, a sinister look about their eyes (which seemed to be cut more on tho bias than usual with Mongolians), which sent a chill over me whenever I met their saze. "Nouwe of the family seconded my dislike of the Chinamen, except Blanche, who seemed to think exactly as I did. (which I accepted as another sign of entobragement) all the rest attributing it to my dislike of the Mongolians as & race. "One quiet summer night I had retired to my room in tho,second story, and lay thinking of the happy possivility of Blanche Stamford returning the love I felt for ber, when my attention was attracted by the rattling of a hall window. There was not a breath of wind stirring to produce such a sound, and I was about rising to ascertain the cause, when it ceased, and a window on the nest floor began to rattle. ‘Then I caught the meaning of it. Some one was telegraphing with the sashes. "I listened, and presently the second stoâ€" ry window telegraphed : "*Everything quiet up there, Bob ? " ‘Quiet as a etiff. Old one blowing his born. How is the yuuker down there ? answered the upâ€"stairs window. "*All quiet on the Potomac. Are yeu ready now ? asked the down stairs winâ€" dow. ; © ‘Not quile yet. When I write ‘Go,‘ then do your best. Derd men tell no tales. As soon as you finish your man, come up here, and then help me to finish the old woman.‘ "It was our old siageâ€"coach tobbers at work again no doubt. How they bad gainâ€" ed access to the house I was at a loss to acâ€" count ; for it was guarded by a burglarâ€" alarm and a watchâ€"dog. â€" Arising and partâ€" ly dressing, I took my revolver, and stepâ€" ping softly out in the hall, approached the window, where I found Ah Lee the Chinaâ€" man, standing. *‘Come to lookse see. Think heah some mans hoppeo out the window," said he, blandly. «* *Well,‘ said I, ‘you go down stairs and ed. fetch me a gl my rooim. * +All litel, mi will,‘ said Ah Lee, as he glided down the stairway. As soon as ho was out of hearing T took hold of the winâ€" dow and telegraphed : 3 To these two ‘spoon gobblers,‘ as the ©‘Yunker is awake and coming up stairs. Go and hide in the hall closet till ho comes back.‘ f :".. ‘All right,‘ answered the upstairs win dow. L4 Then I went upstairs softly in my stockâ€" img feet, and softly turned the key in the hall closet, after which I telegraphed with the upstairs window : «* ‘*Keep quiet down thero. Yunker is up stairs talking to the old one. Hide in the.‘ library till he comes baok again and goes to bed.‘ ** ‘Does he suspect anything ? came back from down stairs. " ‘No,‘ I answered. He is telling the old one he is goiag to ‘Frisco early in the * ‘What are you doidg here ?" I demandâ€" ass of water and a lemon to lc“;u:m\lv;:; ! Lor» PararErstox.â€"The services of this (which 1 groat statesman rendered t England and agement) Europe dtiring the eleven years(1830â€"1841) dislike of 12 which he achieved his greatest successes, | fnd firmly founded "that reputation which id retired | ho subseqtiently enjoyed amongst foreign and lay | nations;" are this summarized by Mr; Ashâ€" _ "‘All right,‘ came back, and arousing Mr. Stamford, I told sina how matters stood and we descended down the stairs and turâ€" ned the key in the library door. ‘The desâ€" peraio heard the click of the lock, and, beâ€" coming frightened, raised the window to jump out, but I leaned out of the hall winâ€" dow and ordered him back. For an anâ€" swer he turned and fired at me, grazing my check and slitting my ear." *The ladies now made their appearance, terribly frightencd, and, ere an etplanation could be given, Blanche rushed to me, her face pale with fear, and catching me by the arm, cried ; " ‘Oh, Charles, nre you hurt ? * ‘Only a scratch, Blanche,‘ I said, in a low tone, but she did not hear me, for she had fainted in my arms. Here the narrator pointed to a long sear on his left cheek and his cut ear, and gonâ€" tinued : "‘The next moment I firéd, and the vilâ€" lain fell héadlong into the garden. We then returned up stairs and seenred Ah Wing from whom we stripped the paint and other disgnises, revealing one of the stage coach robbers. Ah Lee, whom we found in the garden dead, proved to be the other one. "The next day we notified tlie authoriâ€" ties, to whom we delivered our prisoner, and gave bonds for our appearance, in reâ€" gard to the killing,; from whicl the Coroâ€" ner‘s jury exonerated us by. a verdict of ‘justifiable homicide:‘ "It was nearly noon before I again saw Blanche, and then she tried to avoid me : but, drawing her arm in mine, I led her to & pretty suninter house and said : " ‘*Blanche, I love you ! Do you love me in return 9 **She hid her face against my breast and whispered : i* ‘Oh, so muth‘ "‘Thréé months afterward we were marâ€" ried,and I never hear a window rattle with: out thinking of the warning it twice gave me, being the means of saving a number of lives and gaining me a lovely and loving wife. "This, gentlemen, is a true story, and you can repeat it as such without fear, for the names I have given you aro fictitious, it being not necessary to give the true Such was my fellow passenger‘s story. Half an hour later we parted, each going: his own way. We have never met since, but being reminded of his story by a rattlâ€" ing window, I have endeavored to give his story just as he told it, names and all. ley in his "Life of Lord Palmerston":â€" f "In those eleven years which intervened | between 1830 and 1841 he had kept up| England as ‘the Great State,‘ moraily and | materially, of Europe. He had always exâ€" | pressed her ideas; he had always maintainâ€" ed her interests. His language was clear and bold; and when he menaced action, or thought action recessary, he had ever been ready by his doeds to make good his lanâ€" guage, yet in no instance had his free speech and ready conrage led to those wars ) which timid politicians fear and bring about | frequontly by their apprehensions. He had, in fact, been eminently a peace Minister, ’ and chiefly so because he had not been sayâ€" ing that he would have peree at any prige. Nor is this all. ‘There had been occassions where he did, to & Cortain degree, use threats,; not shrinking from blows. There haf been others where he merely gave counsel or stated opinious. â€" Was that counâ€" sel wise? Were thoss opinions â€" without effect? He condemned the arbitrary laws intended to oppress the German people, Where are those laws? 16 forewarned the King of the French when h¢ ‘was gettâ€" ing,‘ as he said ‘into a false position.‘ What became of the throne of the King of the French? â€" He condemned the Austrigu rule in Italy. What has become of that rule? He condemned the temporal policy of the Pope. What has that temporal poticy endâ€" ec in? â€" Who shall say that our opinion has i no moral force when Iistory stands there to teach the world that our opinion has |ever been prophetic of its events?" Members of Parliament may thauk their stars thot clection expenses are very low in this country compared with what they are in Britain. From a Parliamentry reâ€" turn just issued, it appears that what may be termed legal expenc.tures vary considâ€" erably.. Commencing with $2,000 spent in small boroughs, it runs gradually up till it reaches $50,000, a fow country seats exâ€" ceeding even that sum. The Registrarâ€" General in this paper shows that, according tq séturns made to his department, the agâ€" "gregate expenditure throughout the United ‘Kingdom amounted six years ago in round numbers, to£1,500,000 sterling, or say $7,â€" 500,000. This would make an average of $11,500 per head of each of the 650 memâ€" bors of the Britisa House of Commons. And this only includes what the law officers may sanction, as necessary expenses of a c_a;;pugn It is assumed by those best qualified to indge that this amount is only tho balf of w hat a candidate is called npory t Russian 412. cummediity Supwlie d beiniizentein + <@ ++ ShelPubicgs Whole No It would appear that there ought to be some particular time of the season adaptâ€" ed to the Héaling of the wotunds made by the pruning knifo thanany other, and we look upon this as the essenâ€" tial point to be secured. Probably there is no time in the year when the treos are in more active life than during the latâ€" ter part of May or first of June; and it would appear rational to suppose that wounds would quickly hool when the tree is in active life. Grafting is done about the same season of the year, and the wounds made in the operation readily heal. When the tree is warmed into new life from its long rest during the winter; with sap in full fow; dnd the tree fairly in leaf, the sooner thit the operation is performed the better, as the wound will more readily glose over with a new growth of wood. A little more care is necessary at this period than if done earlier, ag the bark is looser and more likely to be bruised or loosened from the tree: This must be avoided if possible. ' The question is very often asked, what is the best time of the year to prune orâ€" chards ? To which énquiry many answers are given, each expréssin# what hrs to a large exient beeu the experience of those replying, some advocating, in the carly spring; others in June and July, and if our meniory seryes us, we have beard the late Autumn recommended. The best practical orchardists agree that the process of healing is more rapid when the cut leaves the rim of the wound smooth and clean. Pruning should therefore be done with a sharp tool, so as to make a clean cut. It would be difficult to give specific direcâ€". tions for pruning, as there are scarcely two trees alike. There is, however, one recogâ€" nized principle, which we think will be uniâ€" versally admitted to be correct. Thatis, to give the tree & spresdinx character, cutâ€" ting ou} the centre sufficient to allow the sun to shine in, making it as near as possiâ€" ble the shape of an umbrella turned upside down. It is agreat mistake to allow too much wood to grow,; as the fruit is never so large or sound in consequence: Branâ€" ches should never be permitted to cross each other; as it will surely cause both to be thoroughly seraped; and all the rough bark taken off ; this proveuts tle insects from so readily finding a harbor, and adds to the general health and appearance of the trees.â€"Exchange Paper, If sheep are poorly fed; too much exposâ€" ed, allowed to lie of damp beds; or other: wise maltreated, so that th¢ general health sitffers, tho skin particlpates in the fraperâ€" feet nourishment of tlie bodily otgats; and the wool being less abundantly supplied with the liquids produced by the cutaueous dupile from which it grows, and receiving less of the oily secretion (yolk) from the sebacacous glands, withers, hardens, loses its normal elasticity, and is liable to become matted into dense and inextricable masses while still on the back of the sheep. If there is scab or any skin eruption which impairs the nalural nourishment of the wool,the condition is likely to be agravated, and the matting even ntotedense and solid, because the wool is imprisoned by the discased exudations around the filaments: By care to keep the health good, and to keep the sheep thriving; the wool will reâ€" tain such an unctuous covering and such life and elasticity that cotting will be virtuâ€" ally impossible. Cotted Wool and its Causes. The avoidance of cotting, therefore, im: '; plies the avoidance of all causes of il} health, or poverty, whether found in poor shelter, confiitement, bad air, poor and inâ€" nutritious food, lack of water, worms in langs, bowels, or elsowhere; serofula and other constituiional ailments, or seab or any other diseases of the skin: _ When the wool 1s already cotted it will usualy be found mnpossible to restore it; and the onject should be so to improve the condition of the system and skin as to insure that the future growth of this and the succeeding seasous shall be natural and strong. . This course has the dowble advantage that it not only secures better wool but a heavier fleece, and gives at the same time stamina and vigor to the fleeee.

Alaska is covered with a netâ€"work of deep,; k #ellizg everywhere, all the way down to the sea, how beantiful are the clouds that fil their smplo fotntains. Some thirty or _ . . forty rivers hate been discovered in the Territory; the number varying, as the smallér ones have béén called rivers, or croécks, by the nsap:makers: But not one of thein aH, from L mighty Yukon, 2000 wiles loig, to the shortést of the mountain tortents falling white from thé glaciers,has thus tar been étplored.. Dall,Kinnicot,and . others have done good work on the Yukon, and miners, trappers, and traders havé bean over the most of the region in # rambâ€" ling way, aud each have brought in deâ€" tached bits of river knowledge, which,; thorgh too often misty and uncertain,hate been put together on mnps that are better than nothing: Fhe cofst line in particular, with the mouthé and lower reaches of the rivers, has been fairly drawn, but their upper coursos are in a great part invisablé, like mountaing with their heads in a cloud. Perlkaps a< bout twoenty of the Alaska rivers are one hundred miles in length. ‘The Stitkine is; M perhaps,better knuown thatt any other rivet in Alaska, because of its being the way back to the Cassier gold umnes. 1t is about 850 or 400 miles long and navigable for small steamers to Glenora, 150 miles, flowing first in a gener#l] weste?)y direction through grassy undulating plaing, darkened here * and thero with patches of evergreens, then curving southward mid rectieving numeroug tributaries from the morth, it enters the coast range and sweeps across it to the sem through a Yosemite valley more than a hundred miles long, and one to three miles wide at the bottom, and front five thousand Lto cight thdusand feet deep, marvelously beautiful and inspiring from end to end. To the appreciative tourist railing up the viver through the midst of it all, the conon for a distance of about one hundred and ten miles is & gallery of sublime picturés; an unbroken series of majestic mountain®, glaciers, falls, cascades, forests, groves, flowery garden spots, grassy meadows in endless variety ofform and composition â€" furniture enough for a dozonm Yostnritesâ€" while back of the walls, and thousands of feet above theiui, innumerable peaks and spires and domes of ice and snow tower grandly into the sky. Sailing along the river the views change with magical rapidâ€" ity, Woudrous, too, are the changes de: peodant on the weather. â€" Avalanches from the heights, booming and resounding from side to side; storm winds from the Arctic highlands, sweeping the canon like a flood and filling the air with ice dust; rocks, glaciers, and forests in epolless white: Inspring the chanting of cascades, the gentle breathing of warm winds, the openâ€"< ing of leayes and flowers, birds building their nests, hundred aere fields of wild roses coming into bloom, and tangles of bramble and huckleberry, swaths of birth and wil« low creeping up the lower slopes of the walls after the melting snow, massive cum:< uli piled upon the highest peaks, grey rain clouds wreathing the outstanding bows aud battiements of the walls. 'fheu the break: ing forth of the sun on it all ; tlie shining of the wet leayes, and the rivet; and the crystal spires of the glaciers; tlic looming of th6 white domes in the uzure, the ser: ene éolor grandour miorning fand evening; ch@tiging in glorious harmony through all the seasons and years.â€"San Francised Bullitin: Several boys exploiing an old frame barn in Stanley township, near Cool‘stmillâ€" dand, found lying in a corner a wellâ€"dressed man, alive, but exceedingly weak. The boys gave him water,milked a cow,and gave him that also. Eggs and bread procured for him he could not retain on his stomach. He was carried to Granton; ftud medi¢al aid procured. For some time it was thought he could not retover, as the beating of his prilss was imperceptible; but under skilfal treatment he gained strength, and wag soon able to tonverse protty freely. He gave his name as Willizm Eliwood, aged 68, & former merthaut of Lucan. _ Sufferâ€" ing reverses, he took a position as agrieulâ€" tural implement agent. He said that he loft thas place cighteen days before, having lbut one slice of bread, and made his way as far north as the Durham line in the l c¢ounty of Grey, but fiading it difficult to sell the implements unless, as he said, by "telling many lics," he gave up, aud was on his way back, walking on the railway track, when he felt sick, and went to the house where ne was found as the only available place of refuge. Being informed that it was strango the farmiors amoug whom he travelled did not give hn some« | thing to eat, he said, "he would not beg, |and steal he cou!d not," and as rome of |them asked him if he was hungry,he would 1 not tell them, and maintained that »ot & | particle more had be to eat than the ome . | piece of bread until found by the boys: For | three mornings after first entering the building be managed to crawl ont and get some water, but could not get «ty other : | assistance, as there are no houses in the |immsdiate vicinity, and reâ€"entered the | building apparently to die by the slow and | torrible process of starvation, having had : | nothing whatever from that titme until disâ€" t | covered. The dostor attending hiin is of â€" | opinion that the man‘s story is perfectly ) | reliable, his emaciated condition testifying t | thereto: A curions monster of the sea,captured at Margarie Island, measured about forty feer in length, and is shaped like a serpent.
