SCENE ON THE lsrHMus.-We have remarked
sosne OF the toughest specimens of humanity
passing through this city, that we ever cast our
eyes upon in our life before. The other day,
while standing at the Exchange, our attention
vas drawn to one Of the rery hardest customers,
just arrived in the Sc isthmus'' from California,
evidently after a long residence in Ell Dorado
He and those with him were bearded like pards
He was listening to the jsbber of native who
had hired him ! mule, and on seeing his bag
gage, was demonstrating with him for dollar
or two more ( Look here, hombre, said h., I" a
bargain's bargain agreed to give you twenty
d0iisrs; paid you the half; start your boots |!

that mule ais:t ready packed, there II be one
dead niger about these diggings." He drew a
revolver from his breast, looked at the caps, and
tnrniug roand. looked savage defiance at every
body. Al that instant, a lady on mule, and
two beautiful little girls, on their way to Cali
tOrnia, we've trying tO pass the blocked up
thor0ugfaFc. His eyes met the appealing eyes
of the mother. In an instant his whole c0unte-
rance changed. He d"ffed his hat to the lady,
hacked the mule, kombre and all, and with a
sweep Of his arm, called the attention Of his
comrades: Back, boys" said he a make way
for the lady,. The way was cleared, and the
lady passed. Our stalwart friend stood gazing
after them for moment or two, and we could
see his face sutfused with tears; on wiping them
away. he perceived that We were regarding him
closely, and in faltering voice, said: !" have
been away from home, sir, for two years that
woman and those little children reminded me of
my family. God bless my girls and their mo-
ther!" So saying. he returned HI, revolver to
his belt, and in mild voice said to the native !:
s. Come, kombrs, soon as you can, my friend,
get that mule ready, aud you shall have what
you ask more and SO saying, he walked
thoughtfaliy away.-Paaama Paper.
