EXAMPLE OF THE BRAvE.-The example of the
brave is an inspiration to the timid, their pres
ence thrilling through every fibre. Hence the
miracles of valor so often performed by ordinary
men under the leadership of the heroic. The
very recollection of the deeds of the valiant
stirs mems blood like the sound of trumpet
Ziska bequeathed his skin to be used as drum
to inspire the valor of the Bohemians. When
Scandeberg, Prince of Eprus, was dead, the
Turks wished to possess his bones, that each
might wear piece next his heart, hoping thus
to secure some the courage he had displayed
while living and which they had so often expe-
rienced in battle When the gallant Douglas,
bearing the heart of Bruce to the Holy Land,
saw one of his knights surrounded and sorely
pressed by the Saracens in battle, he took from
his neck the silver case containing the hero's
bequest, and throwing it amidst the thickest
press of his foes, cried: "Pass first in fight, as
thou vert wont to do, and Douglas will follow
thee, or die" and so saying, he rushed forward
to the place where it fell, and was there slain.

INDIAN TELEGRAPHs-The editor of the Sierra
Citizen, who has just returned from Carson VAL
ley, says in his issue.o the 25th May, that about
the time of the massacre on the Truckee, DR..
Bryant, of Downieville, started to Virginia City,
and Wassoo Indian boy living with his family
became very much distressed, asserting that the
Doctor would be killed, and on .he following
night he disappeared. A few days since his
master found him at the Wassoo camp, and he
said that he had travelled down the Henness
route expecting to intercept DR.. Bryant. On the
way he met two men who were going to shoot
him, but he addressed them in English, told
where he belonged and was spared. How the
boy knew of the Indian troubles is unexplained,
except by suppostion that some one of his peo-
pie, aware of the intended hostiities, had been
here and warned him of the fact. Again, be-
fore the Downieville party had reached Sierra
Valley, an Indian met traveller near Peavine
Springs, and said: Plenty white men comm
plenty gun, plenty fght2" By some understood
signal, he had correctly learned the fact at a
distance of forty miles.

ry@ A very pretty and respectable young
woman stole several yards of ribbon from a
shop in Troy a few days ago. She was left alone
and couldn't resist the temptation. The shop
keeper accused her of the theft, and after much
trouble found she had wound the ribbon around
her l. stockings, beginning at one ankle and
passing the stocking of course ending at the
other. In this ingenious, but we must say in
delicate manner, she had concealed large
quantity-but the shopkeeper forgave her and
let her go Free as he considered the privilege of
recovering his property by unwinding it, ample

CAUTION.

Owing to the unexampled demand for these
Bitters, some unprincipled parties have endea-
vored to counterfeit them. The genuine RO-
SENBAUM have the name of N. B. JACOBS &
co. branded on each cork, and their signature
on each label. Beware, also, of a worthless
article, called Rosenchts Bitters, put up in this
city. Its external appearance is very much like
the true Rosenbaum, but it is useless as a rem
edial agent, and has only been got up to prey on
the reputation attained by Roseubaums Btters.

Washing the Brethren's Feet.

Nearly two hundred pilgrims from Ireland,
who had travelled from there on foot, to worship
at the seat of St. Peter, arrived at Rome in
April, foot sore, shabby and travel worn they
were entertained at the different monasteries,
and attracted much attention by their appear
ance, and by the feryency of their devotions.-
Every night at the Church Of the Pilgrims, their
feet were washed by such Christians as were
moved to such humble Offices, through love of
their brethren and sisters, duty which was
enjoined on all Christians by the piecept and
example of Christ, but which has fallen strange
ly into disuse in modern times, except at Rome,
where it is still kept up in its purity
Speaking of the same ceremony as annually
fulfilled by the Pope, the correspondent of the
Tribune says:
Whatever may be said of the particular merit
or good taste of this performance no one who
has once witnessed it can doubt its reality. Ir
comparison with it. the Pope's washing and
kissing of the thirteen polished feet of the thir-
teen beggars IN st. Peters is the merest farce
Yet the Pope does his part well, and washes the
foot offered to him with as much care as though
it needed it, and afterward waits upon the thir-
teen at table in the kndest possible manner. II
is in this ceremony that the Holy Father appears
to show his real character, which think is that
of very kind hearted man. He took the
dishes as they were handed to him by his
officials and walking along, placed them in the
hand of each man at the table in turn, and af-
terward poured them out wine in good natured
familiar way, giving to each a kind word, and
smiling good humoredly upon ALL
