DOWN HILL
A TRUE LIFE PICTURE.


Not long since l had occasion to
visit one of our Courts, and while con-
versing with legal friend I herd the
name of John Anderson called.
There is hard case remarked my
friend.
I looked upon the man in the prison
er's dock. He was standing up, and
plead guilty to the crime Of theft. He
was tall man, but bent and infrm,
though not old, His garb was torn,
sparse and filthy; his face was blood
shot, his hair was matted with dir, and
his bowed form quivered with delirum.
Certainly, Inever saw more pitiable
object. Surely, tnat man was mt born
william. I moved my place to obtain
a nearer view of his face. H. gazed up
mn me single instant, and then, cover
ing his face with hands, be sank
pOWCFlcSS lllIO VIC S0Gts
Good God!' I lnvoluntarily exclaim-
ed, starting forward. Will
4 had half spoken his name when he
quickly raised his head, and cast upon
me look of such imploring agony that
my tongue was tied at once. Then he
covered his face again.
l asked my legal companion if the
prisoner had counsel. He said no. l
told him to do all in his power for the
poor fellows benefit, and I would pay
him. He promised, and left. lcould
not remain and see that man tried:
tears came to my eyes as I looked upon
him, and it was not until I had gained
the street, and walked some distance
that l could breath freely.
John anderson! alas! he was ashamed
to be known as his mothers son. That
was not his real name, but you shall
know him by no other. Twill call him
by the name that stands upon the record
of the court.
John Anderson was my schoolmate,
AID it was not many years ago--not
over twenty-that VIC left our academy

wealthy parents-Ito sit down for a few
years in the dingy sanctum of a news

the ocean. was gone some four years;
and when I returned found John a |
married man. HIS father was dead and
had left his only son princely fortune.
and, CO he said to me, as he
met me at the railroad station, you
shall see what bird I have Gagged. My
Ellen is lark, princess of all birds
that ever. looked beautiful or sang
sweetly.' t.ea.a .. 5a. 80 s.
He was enthusiastic, but not mis-
taken; for I found his wife all that he
had said, simply emitting the poetry.
And so good, too-so loving and kind.
Aye, she so loved John, that she re-
ally loved all his frienns. What q luck
y fellow to find such wife, and what
lucky woman to find such husband
John Anderson was as handsome as
she-tall, straight, manly, high brow
ed, with rich chestnut curls, and a
face as faultlessly noble and beautiful
as artist ever copied. And he was
good, too; and kind. generous and true.
I spent week with them, and I was
happy all the while. Johns mother
lived with them, fine old lady. az
ever lived. and making her self con-
slant joy by doting on her darling
boy as she always called him. 7 gave

q ELLEN Anderson. L started tor the
town where they had lived as soon as
possible, thinking l might help some
one! A fearful presentiment possessed
my mind! -g1 >f,2t f.,r po taHf
where is John Anderson?' was my
first question. ns,t .r-o.. ..r. ?
Don't know, Hes been gone these
last three months. His wife died in
the mad house last week. ..-. .' +f'..
and the childrenp \ c .uIa as.l
'Oh, they both died before she did,
1 staggered back, and hurried from
the place. hardly knew where 1 went
but instinct led me to the churchyard.
I found four graves which had been
made in three years. The mother, wife
and two children slept in them. i5
'And what has done this! / asked
myself. Anda voice answered from
their lower resting places: .a
The demon of the wine e-table.'
But this was not all the work. NJ!
no! Tho next l saw--oh, God, was far
more terrible. l saw it in the CITY
court room. But it was not the last.
1 saw my legal friend on the day fol-
lowing the trial. He said John ,Ander
son was in prison. 1 fastened to see
him. The turnkey conducted me to
his cell. The key turned in the large
lock, the pondereus door, with sharp
creak, swung upon its hinges, and saw
a dead body suspended by the neck
from grated window. looked upon
the horrible face; l could see nothing of
John Anderson there. but the face /
saw in the court room was sufficient to
connect the two, and knew that this
was all that remained of him whom /
had so loved. .umE2 a"~ara.lt
And this was the last of the demons
worK-the last act in the great drama
All! from the first sparkle of the red
wine, it had been down, down, down
until the foot of the hill had been f.
nally reached. D ~ -..2.i '"|
When l turned away from the cell
and once more walked among the fash
ing saloons and revel halls, l wished
that my voice had power to thunder tho
life story Of which / had been witness
iuto the ears of all living men.
When O.. s. Fowler---so the story
runs-6rst commenced the examination
of bumps, some Of the students Of the
New York University were disposed

vas found in the yard, and plaster

understand that the ori ginal was close
y connected with a literary institution
The phrenologist took the cast in his
land, and examined it with some care,
vhen a bright thought struck him
You need not think, young men,

Las HoPE."-This is the name of a con- :
pany which has been formed at Cherokee, and S
now engaged in sinking a shaft on the fat south
east of town, known as the Cherokee Basin .
1t was commenced about three weeks ago, and
has been put down some thirty or forty feet.
The company has fine water-power used for
pumping purposes, and is going forward with its
enterprise in hopeful spirits of reaching the bed
rock, which, we are informed, has never yet been
reached in that locality, on account of an inter-
posing stratum of quicksand, which is struck
some considerable distance down from the sur
face. The estimated cost of completing the
work is $1,000, and those principally engaged in
1t are Messrs W. F. Berry, d. Marer, S. E
Lewis and S. Turney.

OVER $1,000 SToLEN.-About two weeks
since, the house of Michael Casey, situated on
Flume street, was broken into in the night time,
and over $500 in gold coin extracted therefrom.
AT the time, no one was in the house except
Mrs. Casey and her daughter. Mr.. Casey was
performing night work in mining claim near
town. There is something strange about this
robbery which needs explanation. Some months
ago gentleman, resident of Grass Valley, and
relative of Mr.. Casey, deposited with the latter
Tor safe keeping, purse containing $500.
Casey advised him to bury the money under his
house, and pointed out spot beneath the hoor,
as safe place to make the deposit The advice
was taken and the money so buried Some time
afterwards, another gentleman residing at Grass
Valley also, deposited with Casey a sack cen
tanning s., 500; and subsequently, further de-
post of $425 was made with Casey, by third
gentleman-all of which money was buried in
the same spot, making in the aggregate, includ-
ing Casey's own money, $3.50, over $,30O0 On
the night in question, entrance was made by
some party or parties, and the money stolen
The entrance to the house was made by cutting
the hinges of the door, which were of leather, and
by tearing up the floor immediately over the
place where the money was concealed. The
door was fastened inside with a rope and was
thus found in the morning after the robbery
Both hinges were cut, but one of them not en-
tirely off, and therefore it is inferred that the
robbers could not have entered in that wav.
That the money was taken, however, there is no
doubt; but who took it. how the thief gained a
knowledge of where it was secreted, and how he
obtained access to it, matters entirely of con-
lecture.

firing of canon, the ringing of the Church bell,
and whilst the Band were playing "Hail Colum-
bia !" Whether the wedding grew out of the
patriotic feeling which seemed to pervade all
hearts, or whether it was spontaneous efusion
of overwhelming love, is for others to determine.

which these diggings receive their supply of wa
ter, at the end which overlooks their immense
crater, engaged in caulking its seams, when his
foot slipped, and he was preciptated distance
of ninety feet, to the hard earth below. In the
t ible fall, the bone of his right leg, near the
ankle, was crushed into fine fragments. The
ether injuries which he may have sustained are
