articles to ourselves We fear, If we were to

the Commemorative Attorney, in rather "a ridi-
culous position for so sound lawyer and clover

really been consulted, he would have stated at

LORD LANspowNE ON PUBLIC SPEAKiNG.--Du-
ring my drive yesterday with Lord Lansdowne.
in talking of public speaking. l asked him
whether he had ever experienced that sort
of bewildermen: in delivering himself which
he might have observed come over me at the De-
VICES dinner, and which had once before ex-
perienced for n few moments during my speech
at the Revolution meeting in Dublin some years
since, but recovered myself, on that occasion, al
most Immediately He said, to my surprise,
that he hardly ever spoke in the House without
feeling the approaches of some such loss of self
possession and found that the only way to sur
mount it was to talk on at all hazards. He nd.
ded, what appears highly probable. that those
common places which most men accustomed to
public speaking have ready cut and dry, 10
bring in on all occasions, were. he thought, in
general used as mode of getting over those
blank intervals. when they do not know what 10
say next, but in the meantime, must say some.
thing. --Diary Of Thomas Moore.

The truth Of the following thrilling tale Of nd
venture is vouchtd for by person who heard II
from the lips of one of the party:
4 party Of three men started from Sacramento
on a prospecting tour. and being well supplied
with provisions. they penetrated much further
into the mountains than any other party, with
ont meeting with any success. Being men f,f
ereat perseverance,. however, they determined 10
pursue their course still further although they
lad reached n point where ii Is WAS believed the
fool of a white man never trod before. The party
began 10 feel somewhat discouraged. as luck ap.
neared 10 have abandoned them They were n
great distance from any hebitaton. and their
stock Of provisions was getting very low. mel
ancboy feeling peryaded the three adventurefs'
but they kept on, until they came to deep
gulch.
After making a thorough examination. they
returned 10 Sacramento for ropes and provisons.
Having procured these. and loaded their mules
with as much was thought necessary for their
purpose they proceeded again to the guicb. 10
get down this ravine was the mex object. They
tied rope to a tree, and by this means one after
the other descended to the bottom. after lower
ing down the provisions and tools. Here they
found gold in abundance, and labored assiduous-
" 10 secure their pile as possible, not
b ing particularly in love with their habitation.
BY mere accident after having been ~ the raw
inc for several weeks, they discovered that the
rope bad been cut by the Indians. or let loose by
some other means which cut off all hopes of es
cape. The lodges of rocks were perpendicular
for hundreds of feet and climbing up was out of
the question.
The provisions rapidly diminished. and star
vaon stared them in the face. The gold which
they had procured was Of no use. They had made
up their minds that their end was near. Providen-
TALLY, party Of friendly Indians came by, and
herring the men halIooiuy they discovered their
whereahout, and Immediately went TO work to re
lease them. Ropes were obtained and let down;
when they were drawn up one by one. and their
gold also. Being released from their prison. they.
literally rewarded the Indians. aud went on their
way to n suitable location. thankful for their
preservation from the awful fate with which they
had been threatened.
