An Incident IN the Life Of Judge
Trum bull


We were exceedingly interested few
months ago in reading a letter written by
Hon. Lyman Trnmbull from Washington
to an old.friend and patron in Connecticut,
modestly alluding to incidents in his early
life, and to the distinguished honors since
conferred upon him. One of these incl
dents Is worth relating. When young
man. about 19 years of age, Judge Trum-
bull came to Salem, Ct., from Norwich,
with all his worldly possessions tied up in
cotton handkerchief, and strapped upon
his back. He was a total stranger IN the
town, and with no other Recommendation
or reference than was contained in an hon
est looking face, made application to MIR. o.
Whittlesey. a brother of The longtime eff
cient Auditor of Public Accounts at Wash
ington, for situation as teacher of the dis.
trict school. Mr.. NJ, who was school
committeeman, "liked the boys appear
ance," to use his own language. and made
an engagement with him at S16 a month
and board. Young Trumbull, if we may
believe the old residents of Salem, kept a
popular school, snd was a great fayorite
with everybody except few unruly ur-
chins. After keeping the school two terms,
seek fortune "Out West" and according
fy prepared to leave On the morning of
his departure, Mr.. Wbittlesey and a neigh
Dor were expressing complimentary oPin-
ions of their schoolnaster to each other,

iect of their conversation was in an adioin-
ing room. depend upon it," said Mr.
Whittlesey, ''that young man will make
noise in the world; we shall hear of him
in Congress from some of those Western
States one of these days" Young Trum-
bull. who could not avoid hearing the re-
mark, stepped into the room through the
partly open door, with face suffused with
bushes, and coupled with his thanks hope
that he might be able to merit their good
opinion. 81 never expect, however," he
added, .'to reach so high position as a seat
in Congress-" He has reached such po-
sitioh, however, and to-day there is not a
man in the councils of the nation who is more
esteemed for his ability andinte gritty than the
Yankee schoolmaster.'' Mr.. Trumbul

diction.-Peoria, III. Transcript, Mar 49,

Touching Incident.


The Columbus correspondent of the
Painesville Telegraph, in a letter dated
March 9Th, relates the following:
"a nice little scene took place at the
Pehitenliary, on Saturday, of which l will
try to give the readers of the Telegraph
some notion. A few years since there was
sent to that institution from Hamilton coun-
ty, for long term of years, on the charge
of burglary, an old Polish exile; an old
man who had fought bravely for his coun-
try and liberty. In this land of strangers,
aid with no friends, the old man had never
for moment entertained the idea of releass,
and patiently was toilinS through his weary
mornings. Some facts have recently come TO
light, as / hear the rumor, showing that the
old man was not guilty of the crime charg
ed upon him. At any rate, the Governor
decided upon his pardon. And Saturday
afternoon, Governor Chase's daughter, a
fair noble girl of seventeen Or eighteen
summers-and who in her person proves
that the generally accepted truth that great
men never have great sons," does not reach
to daughters-takes the pardon and makes
her way to the prison. Without intimating
her mission she desires the warden to ask
the old Polander, whose name have now
forgotten, to come to the sitting ROOM
The old man, his head white with the accu
mulated burden of years and trouble, was
not long in answering the summons, for
who, thought he, in all this world could ask
for him. The pardon was put in his trem-
bling hand Oh! then the joy. 1t was
all SO xpected-and came through such
hands The old hero fairly capered for
Joy. He could scarcely find words among
his broken English, through which to tell
his thankfulness- All, it was blessed
scene for those who had the joyful privilege
of looking on. The fair and modest hero

eral gentlemen visited J. G.. Breslin, Ex-Treas-
urer of the State at his present abode in Canada,
for the purpose of obtaining some information
as to the financial operations which led to his
fiji ght. The mission was unsuccessful, but it il
stated that letter has since been received in
Ohio, in which he intimates that he will shortly
give to the world a clear and candid statement
Of his operations, from minute books known to
be in his possession. showing names, locality,
date, and amount of the transactions with each;
the character and amount of sureties. the pedg-
es Of homer upon which be relied. the frequent
renewal Of those assurances and the disappOint-

INDIAN DEPREDATI0Ns.-We gather the fol-
lowing items from the Humboldt Times of the
9TH inst
In Humboldt county, July 10th, Owen Ste
vens, q native of Lowell, Massachusetts, was
killed by the Indians. On the 10th July, John
Vandall was killed by Indians near the mouth
of the Klamath.
On the I'd of August Chauncey Miller, for
merly of Hartford, Conn.,, was also killed by
Indians, and J. w. Winlock, who left Union III
May last for Frazer river, by the overland mail
route, was killed by the Indians in the Yacka-
ma country.
John Mann, called "Buckskin jack had
his throat cut by squaw with whom he had
been living 1t appears that Jack had beer
out on an Indian hunt, and had killed the
brother of his squaw, bringing in the Indian
bow and CULVER The property was recognized
by the squaw, and she determined upon aven-
pinp the death of her brother. After Jack had
fallen asleep, she took a large knife and cut
his throat-nOt however, severng the Jugular
vein. This had the effect to disturb Jacks re-
pose when he arose and grasped the knife, and
killed the squaw on the spot.
On the other hand, the white men are in the
habit Of firing upon and killing the Indians, in
that seetion, whenever they fall in with them.
In fact, they make up regular parties to hunt
Indians. and thus the war is conducted on both
sides The Indians are hardly ever deserving
of all the blame.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT GEoRGETowN.-A fire
broke out at Georgetown. FL Dorado county,
on Monday evening, August 10th. and in
few minutes the whole central portion OF the
town was in flames. by the almost super
human exertions of the citizens, the fire was
prevented from crossing Placer street, on the
south, aud Orleans street, on the north, thus
coniining it within the limits of those streets,
north aud south, and from Church street on
the west, to the ravine on the east. comprising g
both sides of Maiden Lane and Main street.
Two fire. proof buildings, owned by Glassman
IL Co. and Steinfes & Co, alone remain to mark
the main business portion of the ill-fated town;
Most of the goods were saved by hre'prooi
cellars. which had been built under almost
every house. The loss outside Of the buildings
and improvements was not very great. The
citizens are preparing for the fourth time, with
undismayed energy, to rebuild. The total loss
is about $50, 1000.

The Tsme.caI OF the California Indians.

2 The Temescal OF the California Indians.
DR.. John Coulter, in his book entitled "Ad-
ventures on the Western Coast of South Amer
ica and the Interior of California; published
in London (England) in 1887, thus describes
the Temescal or hot air bath of the California
Indians, as observed by him at the Mission Do
lores in 1886:
The construction Of the Tsmeseal is peculiar,
and deserves notice. A kind of wicker work
is formed in the shape Of large circular SEN
try-box, with an oval head, aud doorway to
enter 1t. This continuance is plastereo over
thickly with well wrought tough clay, which
makes it air tight This strange erection will
last for years, only give it periodical plaster
ing.
When this Temescal, or hot air bath, is about
to be used, large wood fire is heaped up close
to the door, and as soon us the fire has emitted
hearly all its smoke, and nothing remains but
aQarge body of embers, you enter it, and either
sit down sf stand up as you please. From the
heated air aud cl0seness inside, the most copi-
Gus perspraton ensnes, which being kept up
! as long as possible for q man 10 bear this as II
were. oven, is considered by the Indians. and
indeed many enlightened residents Of Calitor-
MIA, to be certain cure for at least rheuma-
tism.
1t is also used as refresher after great fa-
tigue, by the Indians, but in these instances
their pau is different from that pursued by for
eigncrs; they will SO into the Temescal remain
longer and bear more heat than any white man
could, and after coming out fairly dripping
with perspiration, will rush down to the river,
swim about for few minutes, come in and put
on their clothes again; this sudden immersion
of the heated body in the cold stream, few
white men could bear with impunity; but the
Indians are accustomed to ii from boyhood, and
the application of the Temesosl in their own
way, seems to have refreshing effect upon
them
have seen Indians, after long and harass-
ing two or three days hunting, enter the square
of the mission, staggering from fatigue. the
first thing he asked a brother to do was to light
fire, and after using this hot air bath in the
manner have described Indians do, he would
not only be refreshed by its use, but in all pro-
bability engaged in fandango, or one of their
own wild dances that evening. In the square
of all the missions, there are several OF these
Temescals, and the peculiarity Of their shape is
a remarkable object in the view.

BROTHER AND SIsTER-A Sort OF ROMANCE
The Stddts Zeitung has the following story: Some
years ago, young man was living in New York
city on high scale. His name was Frazer. He
had large business, good connections, and was
70 much engaged by the worlds glitter and dis
play that be had no time to look after his sister,
at that time poor teacher in one Of the board
ing-schools of New-YOrk; and at last he forgot
her enirely. Some days ago an aged man was
arrested near Baltimore and brought back to
MorristOwn N. j.. where be broke out of the cell
he was confined in, TO await his sentence for
counterfeiting. 1t was William Frazer. The
once poor teacher lives now at Paris, in the
Palais Elysee Bourbon. on the Champs Elysee,
and is the wife of Lucien Murat. She may
dream every night of Kings and crowns, while
her unfortunate brother is awaiting bis sentence
to the State Prison.
