How a Mans Boots Saved his Life.

Now that the name of Varnhagan voh
Ense is brought so prominently forward,
through the Humboldt correspondence, it may
not be amiss to quote from one of his works a
story about pair of boots, which, by their
opportune disappearance, did their owner bet
ter service than did ever boots before by the
promptest attendance. 1t occasioned the au-
thor's account of Crab Schlaberndorf, writer
of no little power, who lived in Paris garret,
was misery in triaes, and lavishly generous in
great things who was primarily hearty
friend of liberty, and secondly persevering,
disinterested patriot. A friend Of the Goron-
dists, he speedily found his way to prison under
the sway of Robespierre
One morning the death-cart came fer its
usual number of daily victims, and Schlabern-
DORIS name was called out. He Immediately,
with the greatest GOODNESS and good humor, pre-
pared for departure. Presence of mind in
some shape, grand stoicism, or more often
Indifference, were common in those terrib. =
times. And Schaberndorf was not the man
to make an ungracelul departure when the nm
avoidable Must Of fate stood sternIy before
him. He was soon dressed, only his boots
were missiag. He sought and sought, and the
jailor sought with him in this corner and in
that but they were not to be found. Well,
said Shlaberndorf sharply, this is too bad !;
to be guillatined without my boots will never
do Hark ye, my good friend" continued he,
with simple good humor, to the jailer, " take
me tomorrow one day makes no difference
it is the man they want, not Tuesday or We'd
nesday." The jailor agreed. The wagon, full
enough without that one head, went off to lis
destination Schlaberndorf remained in his
prison.
Next morning at the usual hour, the vehi-
Gle returned and the victim who had so
strangely escaped on the previous day, was
ready, boots and all, waiting the word of com
mand. But, behold, his name was not heard
that day, nor the third day, nor the fourth and
not at ALL There was no mystery IN the mat
ter 1t was naturally supposed he had fallen
with the other victims named for the original
day. In the multitude of sufferers no one could
curiously inquire for an individual For the
days that followed there was enough of victims
without him, and so he remained in prison till
the fall of Robespierre, when, with so many
others, be received his liberty. He owed this
miraculous escape-not the least strange in
the strange history of the Revolution partly
to the kindness Of the jallor-partly and main
ly to his good temper. He was universal
favorite in the Jail

A GRIZZLY SroRy.-Not long since, Joel

eaten up, and huge grizzly tracks all around,
which left little doubt as to the beast commit

ture deliberation, to get recompense, Westfal
took his blankets and weapons and camped
within few yards of the remains, aud within
few feet of the trail that leads to the Big
Trees which were not more than half mile
distant. Keeping watch till late hour, and
no bear appearing, Joel concluded TO go to
make to waken bin. Past midnight his sleep
was disturbed by ominous sounds, and looking
up be discovered huge grizzly coming direct

Joel could get up his rife be horrible cuss

snuff the tainted air. Westfa seized this
opportunity and fred at the bears thr at.
(the bear being head on to him.) then doubled
himself up in his blankets and lay still, holding
his pistol and knife ready. He thinks it took
about half an hour for that bear to de. in
which time he broke all the underbrush and
tore up half an acre of ground Finally be

EXCITING CHASE IN GRASS VALLEY.-A
gentleman OF Grass Valley was bit, some time
ago, by female dog, belonging to q family Of
the same place. The bite, it appears, was a
severe one and the bitten man determined on
taking summary vengeance at the first oppor-
tunity. Yesterday morning, be met his canine
enemy in front Of bis (the canine's) domicil,
whereupon he drew a revolver and slew poor
Nelly. Her mistress, on hearing the report Of
the muIderous weapon, looked out, and discov-
cred the true state of affairs, whereupon, seiz-
ing an ayenging club. she charged on the slay-
er OF her faithful Nelly. The gentleman, though
still holding in his hand the implement of death,
was terror-stricken at the Zouave ike impetu-
osity of bis assailant, and broke-the lady Civ

his pursusr close on to him. When he emerged
from the rear Of the building, on Church street,
he shot towards B. G. avenue, through which
he scooted at fearful pace, the amazon press
ing him, and they both came laundering down
Mill street. the chase lasting as far as our in
formants eye could reach When last seen,
the painting fugitive was climbing fence, get

How LONG HAS MAN EXISTED p The Swiss
savans are now engaged in discussion con-
cerning the extent of the period during which
The human species has existed. From the fact
that human bones have been found with those
of animals now extinct. and from other circum-
stances, they generally agree in extending this
period 10 time much mere remote than that
which naturalists have usually assigned as its
beginning. NJ. Colornb admits that man had
an existence before the Oldest glaciers, and was
co.emporary of the mammoth. NJ. Las,est
seeks to prove that great portion of the ami
NAL world, including man, survived all the
changes Of the quaternary or dluyian period.
NJ. Gandin, noted botanist, subscribes to this
view, and strengthens it by comparison With
the vegetable world. NJ. Pictet asserts that
the geological population of the globe was not
modified in the change from the dilluyian to
the modern period.

lows: On the Columbia river, 1,500 barrels /;
on the Sacramento river, $500; on the Rogue,

the fresh consumption is estimated to amount

WITTY AND SEyERE.-The Rev. A S. Lau-

members of Mr.. Chapins congregation have
an idea that nobody else can preach q sermon
as well as their pastor, and when they enter
their church, and find stranger occupying bis
place, they are apt to turn and go out. SO it
happened on this occasion that not few per-
sons departed, and others were on the point Of
doing so, when Mr.. Laurie arose, hymn book
in hand, and gravely remarked {: "All those
who came here to worship e. II. Chapin viii
have an opportunity to retire, and those who
came to worship the Everlasting God will
please unite in singing the following hymn"
