DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH A GRIzzLY.-
The Butte Record learns from Mr.. Jones,
the following particulars of a desperate encoun-
ter with grizzly which took place on Tues
day, the 7th inst, near Pine creek
man named Fields was engaged in trap
ping grizzlies, and had succeeded in securing
one of magnificent proportions, whose muscu-
lar power, we understand, will soon be dis
played in Jones' Ampitheatre. Mr.. +. was
engaged in the vicinity, hunting for a deer with
which to regale his imprisoned majesty, when
he scared up Bruins wife and two cubs The
first intimaton he had of their unwelcome pre-
scnce was a snort from the cnraged old widow,
which would have done credit to the hoarse
steam whistle Of the Sam Soule, gracefully
riding the navigable waters of the magnificent
and broad bosomed Feather river at Oroville,
as she emerged from the chapparel within
fifteen feet of him. He Immediately fired upon
her and turned to run; but she succeeded in
tanglng his legs, and bringing him to the
ground, when fearful struggle ensued. The
bear was evidently injured in the neck or head
1 by the shot, or Mr. Fields never could have
escaped. lie punched her off with his gun,
until that was thrown from him, when he
iammed his feet and elbows into her mouth
as opportunity offered to prevent her from
getting mouthful and they were lacerated
in frightful manner lie was also severely
bitten in the back, the wounds being inflicted
in such manner as leads to the belief that
the bears jaw was broken. They rolled down
bank some three or four feet high, when one
of bis dogs came to the rescue, and making ar
unexpected attack in the rear, gave Mr.. F. time
to reload his gun, and send fatal shot into
4 the bear.
Throwing away his gun, he managed tC
reach camp, distant about four miles. His
wounds were dressed as well as their camp
arrangements would permit Mr.. Jones thinks
his recovery somewhat doubtful. The wound
ed man is of the opinion that Davy Crockett
never encountered genuine grizzly.

CHARACTERIsTIc ASEcDoTE OF TALLEYRAND
-Talleyrand, the illustrous dipomatist, ono
day found himself between Madame de Stae
and Madame Recamier, both intimate friends
both celebrated.
You say charming things to us both, but
which do you prefer ?' said Madame de Stae
suddenly.
Madame, such question is a veritablc am.
bush. Take care, the penal code"
"Prince, no subterfuge here Which do
you prefer, my friend or myself? Come,
speak is it the brunette or the blonde ?"
at will be her who will honor me with a
look"
"What, still dplomatic9 Well, will put
the question in another form. Suppose while
sailing on the Seine this evening, the boat
should upset, and we should be in danger Of
drowning which one would you help?"*
4" Both at once, or the one which was in the
greatest danger"
"But Monsigneur, be frank for once in your
life. Suppose the peril be equally imminent"
"Well, would give my right hand to you,
Baroness, and the left to Madame Recamier
But if you could save only one-One only
do you understand?'
"0h, Madame you who know so many
things, suppose you can swim," replied Tai.

A LEGISLATIVE ACT APPROVED BY MISTAKE.
A very singular mistake was recently made by
Mr.. Bissel, the Republican Governor of Illinois.
The Democratic Legislature had passed an
enactment to re-dstrict the State for elections,
framing It in such manner as to give great
advantages to their own party. Governor Bis
sell intended to return this bill with his veto,
but instead of doing so he inadvertently signed
it, with batch of others, and did not discover
his error before the bill had been carried back
to the Legislature and entered on the minutes
as approved" lie xllained the occurrence
in a message to the House, and requested that
the bill might be sent back to him, but the
House refused to acccde.

A STEAMSHIP IN A SToRM--A letter from
Capt. Lowber, of the steamer Ericsson, which
sailed from New York on Saturday, the 18th
January, describes the fearful experience of
this steamer during the disastrous gale of the
18th Feb. He says:
"Such commotion of the sea | cannot de-

the ship fore and aft, and the thermometer ten
degrees below zero. ! have never experienced
such night since my career as sailor COM

breath of wind, but a tremendous sea running.

A HERO DEAD.-The famous Hungarian
chief Guyon, who after Gorgeys treason, went
over to the Turks and obtained high rank and
command in their service, died Of cholera lately
at Constantinople. He was Irish by birth, his
full name being Richard Delaufre Guyon-
while his Turkish title was Kurschid Pacha.-
His father wHs captain in the British navy, and
he was born in 1918. AT the age Of eighteen
he obtained commission in the second regi-
ment of Hungarian Hussars in the Austrian
service, and attaining the rank of captain in
1888, married the Baroness Spleuy, whose
father was field marshal in the Austrian SER
vice. After that event he retired to an estate
near Pesth, where he remained inactive until
the breaking out of the Hungarian revolution
in 184s, when he promptly offered his services
in its cause. His first commission was that of
major, and throughout the heroic though un-
equal struggle, he gave frequent and most
striking proofs of dauntless valor

RIOTS ON THE BALTIMORE & OHIO Ra1LRon,

The operatives Oh this Road recently made
strike for higher wages they refused to work
or let others work, and resortrd to violence to
enforce their demands against the Company
They congregatel in great numbers ut different
points OH the Road, and attempted to prevent the
regular running of the trains. The Company
found it necessary to send all armed guard with
each train. The rioters oil two or three differ
ent occasions assembled oil the hunks of cuts and
rolled down heavy stones upon the train. These
vollics of stone were returned by vollics from
United States muskcts. Some attempts wcro
made TO board the train, but were rcpclled by
the armed guard, with which the Governor had
provided the Company, and pistols which were
used by the passengers.
No great personal injury has resulted-a few
broken noses and limbs, without loss of life,
seems to he the extent of the injury. But when
we look at the moral and political consequences
of such opposing violence to the supremacy of
law and order, We may well have cause of
regret.

DUELING.

We find in Russcps Magazine, lengthy and
elaborate article upon the subject of duelinc.-
The writer attempts to show the reason of the
custom-takes the ground that tile practice Of
ducling is founded upon the defects Of Law
that it is the necessary consequence of the in
sufficency of legal remedies to protect against
personal insult; that the practice is tolerated in
those instances in which the low is powerless,
or wholly inadequate means of redress. We
make the following extract: =.

Tile Cuban Slauc Zrude-Gen. Concho
and Lord Hosoden.-With the recent re-
ports of General Jose ConclIa's recall from
Cuba has boen coupled one to the effect
that the measure was partly to be attribu-
tee to strong note sent in last week by
Lord llowden with respect to the gross and
frequent violation of treaties lately COM
nitted by the landing of slaves in that Is.
land. ! believe it is customary when au-
thcntic information Of such transnressions
reaches our Minister here, for him to send
2 note to the Spanish government calling
rs attention to them. These notes have Of
mte been unusually frequent, in consequence
Of the many complaints made, and for the
same reason it may be presumed that they
HAZE been couched in terms more than
usually emphatic.
But, beyond this, believe myself iusti-
tied in stating that the above report is un-
founded. AS regards the rumors of Cen
erai Concllas return to Spain, whether 10
take his scat in the Cortes, or by order of
The government, they are not confirmed.
During Concha's former command in Cnba
ne was noted for his honest .excrtions to
carry out the treaty respecting slavery, but
since then he appears to have grown less
scrupuious, or what many here would call
wiser. His three years term of power ex-
pires in a very few months, and it is SUP.
posed that he is making the most of Ills
latter days.
