sitting on the Russian throne and doing other for
hidden things, and paying dear for the whistle gen.

The last story told of our eccentric California mil

thus Travelling upon small steamer In Europe,
having taken his dinner, he commenced the enjoy

formed by the Captain that smoking was against the
rules of the boat Our friend not caring to be deprv

and pulled away for dear life. The Captain finding

tone informed him of the rule must smoke, said

the Colonel I'll buy your boat. What is the price

The Gazette says:
They were arraigned and plead not guilty.
Numerous witnesses were examined and the &C.

verdict and the people, who had manifested the
most intense interest crowdng the courtroom dur

BRACELETS ON THE ANKLEs-fhe following will
Countess of Castiglione made sensation at one of
the Emperor Napoleon's levess, by appearing
with her robe looped up at the slde TO expose
her symmetrical limbs, almost to the knees, and dis
playing the neatly turned ankles which were clasped
with magnificent bracelets. The robe and corsage
were of cloth and silver, the latter perfectly light and
considerably decoHetts with extremely short sleeves
and no ornament or trimming, whatever, but a large
diamond heart; the former displaying an under skirt
looped up at one side. On the read, five diamond
hearts held together by an arrow TRANSPORTING
them, and flowing veil completed the costume. II
seems as though the free and easy days OF the old
Napoleonic dynasty were returning.

BAPTISM OF ONE HUNDRED MoRMoNITEs AT CHEs-
TERFIELD.-A singular, and, It may be added, most
disgraceful scene, took place Thursday evening.
On the outskirts OF the town runs narrow stream
among the fields called the river Rother over which,
Oh the Hasand road, is bridge called Soney hridge.
About 100 or $50 pers )ns, chiefly women, scat
tered on the verge of the water, waiting for the ap-
pearance of the deluded fanatics who to be
Dipped They call to each other from opposite
sides, and crack jokes of most indecent and shame
full character. 1t is past eight and quite dark the
moon being obscured and not d single star to shed
even a glmmer of light. Two or three candles are
brought down to the water, and stuck in the mud by
the side, and presently coarssh featured man de-
sends into the middle of the stream and takes up
his position under the arch of the bridge. This is
the priest who is to perform the ceremony He has
nothing on but pair of trousers tucked up at the
knee, and waiscoat with sleeves. He intimates to
the attendants that he is ready, and in few minutes
emerge from house two or three hundred yards off,
men (some half and others entirely naked) and they
walk over the ground, which is strewn with broker
bottles, bricks and tiles, 10 the water. They are
compelled to pass throu Oh the women who line the
banks, and the remarks which revolving
and indelicate beyond description. One by one they
received by the priest, who, amid shouts OF laugh
ter dips each Individual, pronouncng over them the
formula" ], being commissioned by Jesus Christ
baptise thee for the remission of thy SINS in the name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost" As
he uters these words he lays them beneath the wa"
ter, and the individual who is being baptised being
in every case blinded by the water there is srug'
gle to rse and on several occasions both priest and
baptised rolled over together IN the stream. AS may
be imagined, this affords immense amusement TO the
mob, who testify their appreciation by clapping Of
hands, shrieks, and roars of mcrrlment.
