A BRAVE WoMAN.-The stables of J. b.
Monnot an extensive blood stock breeder in
Westchester, New York, were destroyed by
fire on the 4th instant The owner was ab-
sent, and there was no one present at the time,
save his wife and her female servants. Dis
patching them after help, the brave woman
entered the burning stables and succeeded in
getting out all of the frantic animals unharm-
ed. The horses, which in the excitement of
the moment, without regard to sex or age,
were turned into a small enclosure, maddened
by fear, commenced fighting furiously, kicking,
biting and tearing each other in a fearful
manner, making it dangerous and apparently
foolhardy in the extreme to attempt to sepa-
rate them. The foreman who had by this time
arrived, watching his opportunity, succeeded
in catching by the name one of the most furi-
Gus, two year old colt, who reared and
plunged at such rate that the man was soon
sent fiying under the heels Of the other horses.
Mrs. Monuot again exhibited her nerve and
courage by entering the enclosure and seizing
the brute by the nose; she held him until the
man had recovered himself and procured q
halter with which the animal was secured.

THE TELEGRAPH PROJECTS OF THE WORLD
There is no discovery or invention which mas
come SO Immediately and extensively into use
as that of the magnetic telegraph Every
government seems 10 feel the necessity for H.;
and even in japan it has been adopted as a
useful agent for the Government. Very soon
the whole globe will be covered with telegraph
wires and every part of it be brought into
closer connection and closer interests. Rus
sia has determined to establish a line from ST.
Petersburg across Siberia to the river. .Amoor
and thence TO Russian America, which will be
but short distance from our Pacific States
This will probably be the first reliable connec-
tion which will be made between the two con-
tinents. A project is already on foot for SUBJ
marine cables from India TO Australia, to be
laid by the united ac ction Of the governments
of England and Holland. The English home
government and the East India government
bind themselves TO connect the Indian penin-
sular with the island of Singapore; the Dutch
government agrees to carry out the connec-
ton to the southeast point of the island of
Java, which belongs to Holland, and the Aus
tralian government will unite their continent
to Java. The cable linking Singapore to Java
has already left for its destination, to be laid
in November next, and that from India to
Singapore Will be laid down in the ensuing
spring. When this is accomplished, we shall
no doubt have cable laid between the Austria
liam continent and the islands of Van Die
mans Land and New Zealand.

MURDER OF A MAIL PARTY by INDIANA
The massacre of the outward mail party from
Independence, No. on the 23d nit, has been
noticed. The mali was surrounded by Il band
of Kiowa warriors at Pawnee Greek, who de-
manded 'toll,'' which was dealt out to them
by the conductor, in the shepe of sugar, coffee,
and other provisions. The correspondent of
the st. Louis Republican, says:
They took all that was given them, and then,
raising whoop, they fired into the stage, per-
fectly riddling it with bullets and arrows, in
stantly killing the TWO Smiths--driyer and
conductof-and wounding the only other oe-
eupant, Mr.. Cole. The Smiths We're killed
before they had a chance to fire, but Cole
leaped from the stage when wounded, fired his
pistol, saw an Indian fall, and the others
gather around him, and in the confusion that
ensued, escaped some distance and hid in the
grass. The Indians, finding their companion
dead, noun ted their horses, and proceeded IN
search of their missing enemy. One of the
horsemen passed within II few feet of where
Cole lay, but failed To discover him. He saw
them return to the scene of conflict, abuse the
bodies of his fallen friends, strip them of their
clothing, and rip open and scatter the content is
of the newspaper mail bag. Fortunately, they
missed the letter mail bag, which was after
wards recovered and taken to Riekman IS
ranch. Cole lay all night concealed in the
grass, and next morning wandered about un-
til he came up to a camp OF Pixies Peakers,
from whom he received an escort to a trading
post, and from thence proceeded homewards.
He passed through here some hours since, on
his way To his family in Independence.

MORMON IDEA OF HgAvEN.-Eider Middle
mas. a leading Mormon Elder, recently de-
fined in a sermon from the Tabernacle the
Mormon idea of heaven. They believe it 10
be material world, governed by the same
natural laws and astronomical principles as
the earth is only so much larger than cur lit
tie star that il takes 36s,o00 times longer to
turn on its orbit than il does. The Elder also
believes that they have telegraphs and editors
in heaven. This last statement would seem
to cast doubt ON the entire theory, as it is very
unlikely that an editor ever goes anywhere
where there is not sorrow and tribulation.

THE AMERICAN MINISTER'S JOURNEY TO
PEEIN-A Diplomatist in an O1 Cart.-The
Paris Pays of the 2oth ult., says it has received
informat ton beyond a doubt, of the arrival of
Mr.. Ward at Pekin. 1t gives the following
account of his progress to the Celestial city:
This diplomatist ascended the Ki-Tcheou-
-Ho, one Of the branches of the Peibo, ac-
companled by all the members of his legation
Arrived at Ning-Ho-Fou, the American cor
vette which had brought Mr. Ward was re.
talned in port
The members of the legation, under the gui-
dance of Mandarin, were placed in huge
box, about five metres long by three broad,
(about sixteen by ten feet,) whiclEswas closed
every ywhere but above, so as to prevent those
it contained from seeing the country. This
box or travelling chamber, provided with all
things necessary to the comfort of the traveller,
was placed on u raft, and taken first up the
river and then up the Imperial Canal, as tar
as the gate OF the capital.
Here it was placed on large truck drawn
by oxen, and IN this way the Minister OF the
United States and the members of his legation
entered the town OF Pekin.
They were perfectly well treated by the
Chinese, but were not allowed to see anything.
The truck was drawn into the courtyard of
large house, which was to be the residence of
the American ENJOYS, but from which they
were not to be allowed to go out.
At the last dates they were awaiting their
in teryiew with the Emperor.
They had not been allowed to have any
communication with the onter world, but
were permitted to send q dispatch to Mr.. Fish
the American Consul at Shanghae, informing
him OF their safety.
After the interview, the American Minister
As TO be re-conducted TO the frontier in the
same way as thal in which he came.
The Russian journals, according to the
news received overland from China, confirm the
arrival at Pekin Of the United States Charge
d,Affairs. The Gazette of irkoust assures us
that that diplomatist will not be received by
the Emperor, but only by the Chief Of the
Nuyko or Imperial Cabinet, title similar TO
that of Premier. We find the following in the
Shanghae correspondence of the Samaphore OF
MarseiIles
Two gunboats, the Cruiser and Hignnyer,
inst arrived from the Gulf of Petehiii, have
brought the news that twelve English soldiers
had been made prisoners after the fight OF
Peiho and were we'll treated at Tien Tsin.-
The American Commodore, who was allowed
communication with the Chinese, had In
