Alone, mid the ruin of all he loved
On the earth around him strewed-
In the face OF death, but all unmoyed
Inc klamath warrior stood
A hundred rifles in deadly rest.
Marked his heart with fatal aim,
But no quickenedt throb stirred his gallant breast,
No tremor shook his frame.
DE saw the foes Of his race before.
host 'gainst his single arm,
Their hands dyed deep with the crimson gore,
That yet oozed thick and warm
From the mangled forms o: his sons that lay
On the dusty and smoke stained field,
Where he stood like lion turned at bay
10 perish, but not to yield.
And yet cen his falcon eye grew dim,
And ashen his lips of scorn,
And the slavish fetters weighed down each limb
vi the heir of the mountain born.
But not in dread did his courage fail,
Nor his cheek grow white with fear,
Nor In deadly strife did his strong arm quail,
When the stroke of death was near
They brought there Manatta, his souls delight,
Manatta, his life's last lamp,
Whose eye, like the star of the fading night
lllumined his dusky camp
Whose silvery laugh deeper thrilled his breast
Than the war-whoop's ringing shout
whose grasshopper fxins he loved the best
Whose salmon was never out"
And when she, timid and trembling, came.
Like birding from its nest
They turned from his bosom their murd'rous
aim,

One agonized glance to her warrior proud,
One smothered and fearful cry,
And his knees grew weak and his swart head
bowed,
AS he murmured low, ~ dry !" [up.l
And far away to the bleak Reserve,
Was that mountain hero borne
A slave meath the white mans lash to serve,
And mark for the white mans scorn.
But still is one glmmer of sunshine shed
Ger his heart, by misfortune struck,
For Manatta bakes ever his acorn bread,
And mixes his loved chemuck.
Go, warrior stout, down the vale of age
Your wearisome trail to trace
One name written fair upon Honor's page
Shall redeem your maligned race.
And oh, son of the pale-face, forbear to grin,
As his costume unique you view,
For that tarred head may cover soul within
AS dauntless as tender and true.

and to act as we know it will act, as an anti

the

by its right name. The success attending its
introduction aud extensive sale in California is
sufficient guarantee of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.

call "Club House Gin" My Gin, which has

PARIsIAN MATTERs.-The evening after the
departure of Louis Napoleon for Italy, Nine.
Guerrabela, nee Ward, grand daughter of the
late Gideon Lee, of New York. was to have
given concert at the Louvre Hotel assisted
by Ristori, and other eminent artists. This,
writes Bigelow, to the New York Post, "is as
much the event of tomorrow, here as the de-
parture of the Emperor is the event of to-day"
Eugenie, the Empress of the French, and the
Queen of that large army of the weak-minded,
who are willing slaves of fashion, had decreed
that the dresses, which now hang upon the
shoulders with straps, and mar their shape,
shall be dropped to the arm pits-leaving the
upper part Of the bust completely bare, after the
style Of Catherine de Medci. She also adjudges
long dresses bore, and wills it that they shall
be shortened to about half way below the knee,
with an adoption of the fesh-coiored stockings
worn by Madame de Castiglione. Already in
some of the soirees ddnsante in New York, some
of the most fashionable women have adopted
the habit in all its nakedness.

Scene on BOARD THE ORIzABA-A curious
scene, Illustrative of California generosity, took
place yesterday in the harbor, on board the
steamship Orizaba. After she left the wharf
the usual search was made for stowaways.o
when, on going through the cabin, it was found
that lady from Texas-known as the Widow
Wood-with her little girl, had failed, probably
from lack of the necessary wherewthal, to pro-
vide herself with tickets. Tears and remon
stranceS were alike unavailing to soften the ad
amantine hearts of the officers, and the lady's
trunk and things" were being passed into the
boat, when stout, good-natured Pike step
ped up aud remarked that "hed be dagorned
If the poor woman shouldn't have her passage
at any rate" and planked down two double
eagles towards making his remark good The
tears and appealing gances of the fair widow
accomplished the work. Others said then would
be dogorned" it. etc, ETC., and as many brawny
hands of miners dived into the depths of their
capacious pockets and purses until the whole
amount of the required passage money was made
up. The sum was paid over to the Purser, and
the grateful widow, smiling like an April sun
shower through her tears, saw the headlands Of
the Golden Gate rapidly recede from her sight,
with the consciousness of being provided for
during the remainder of the passage-S. r.

FRANCIS JOSEPH, EMPEROR OF AusTRIa.-Fran-
els Joseph Emperor of Austria, who has been
so energetcally preparing for war, in spite OF
his youth and ihexperience and of the Napoleon
with whom he has to DEAL in connection with
the infuriated liberals of Italy, has undoubtedly
been actuated by determined ambition.
He was born in August, 1880, and is conse-
quently nearly twenty-nine years of age. He
is son of the Archduke Francis Joseph His
titles, besides that of Emperor of Austria, are
King of Hungary and Bohemia, King of Lom-
hardy and Venice, Archduke of Austria, and
other minor titles. He was declared a major,
ia 1S4S, and succeeded his uncle Ferdinand l.
who abdcated December 2lst. 1913, through
the renunciation by his father of the succession
He married April 2lst, 1854, Princess Amelia
Eugena, daughter of Maximilian, Joseph, Duke
of Bavere, and has two children, a son and a
daughter Since his accession the work of union
and Capitalization has progressed rapidly.
He is undoubtedly actuated only by ambition
to cope with Louis Napoleon, and being, young
and full of vim and vigor, has compelled Aus
tra to assume her present position in defiance
of the rest of Europe. His personal participa-
ton will be a feature of the present impending
great dynastic struggle OF Europe.-N. T. Her

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.-Wiliam ". expired
about midnight if we remember right, at Wind
Sor Palace. The Archbishop of ofCanterbury, with
other peers and high functionaries of the king
dom, were in attendance. As soon as the scep-
ter had departed" with the last breath of the
king, the Archbishop quilted Windsor Castle
and made his way with all possible speed to
Kensington Palace-the residence at the time
OF the Princess already, by law of succession,
Queen Victoria. He arrived long before day
light--announced himself, and requested an
immediate interview with the Princess. She
hastily attired herself, and met the venerable
prelate in her ante-room. He informed her of
the demise of William, announced to her that
she was, in law and right successor to the de-
ceased monarch. THE sovereignty of the most
powerful nation of the earth lay at the feet of q
girl of eighteen" She was dsjuere, Queen of
the only realm in fact or history, I" on which
the sun never set." She was deeply agtated,
at the formidable words so deeply fraught with
blessing or calamity" The first words she was
able to utter were these: " | ask your prayers in
my behalf" They kneeled together-and in
augurated her reign, like the young King of
Israel in olden time, by asking of the Most High,
who ruleth in the kingdom Of men, "an under
standing heart to judge so great people, who
could not be numbered or counted for multi
tnde"
The sequel ofher reign has been worthy of
such beginning. Every throne in Europe has
been tottered since that day. Most of them for
time have been overturned. That of England
was never so firmly seated in the loyalty aud
love of the people than at this hour. Queen
Victoria enjoys personal influence too; the
heartfelt homage paid to her as wife, mother,
a friend aud benefactor to the poor. Christian
T0man-incomparably wider and greater than
that OF any monarch now reiguing. She is loved
at home and admired abroad. In America there
exists a more profound and abiding respect than
perhaps for any living person. Being practi-
cal people, we recognize and appreciate the
value of her example to rulers and the ruled.

ANCIENT MINES IN NEBRAsKA-An interesting
discovery of ancient mines has been made in
Nebraska, about seven miles from Wyoming
They are the most extensive operations of ancient
miners ever discovered on the continent For
miles in extent the whole country is literally
torn up and thrown into the most fantastic and
promiscuous ridges, hillocks, cutters, trenches,
shafts, &c. There remains offurnaces, chin
neys. stone walls, and earth houses, fragments
of jugs, glass bottles, and many other things too
numerous to mention. Rocks have been drilled
and blasted, evidently with some explosive ma
terial, stone dressed with the hammer, and
every evidence Of the operations having been
carried on by civilized men. Old California
miners who have visited these mines. say that
it would probably cost millions of dollars to do
the work that has been done there, and the ap-
pearance of the surface is similar to the plaeers
of California where the miners have been at
work. What the mineral was bav

Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over a large part Of
the globe, Is the consequence OF a diseased action
ia the system, induced by the poisonous nIiasln OF
vegetable decay. This exhalatiOn is evolved by
the action of solar heat on wet soil. and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun Is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the Garth's sur
face, and the virus is taken with il through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal visceFa and excreting organs
Of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails 10
sccrrte not Only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
diso-lered also. Finally, the instinct OF our or
gauism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxi1 .s
infusion, concentrates the whole blood OF the body
in the internal eNcretories TO force them to cast 1t
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes 10
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the cen
tral organs and rushes TO the surface, as !: III
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory-the skin. In tins
also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted. and waits for the recovery OF strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxyS:ns Of FEVER AND AGuE
