MISCELLANEOUS.


Gen. Sherman was in California u. the
period when all the worth, sense, and patriot
ism of San Francisco were converted into
unwilling law breakers and an organized
mob, by the establishment of the celebrated
Vigilance Committee, whose objects were
most righteous, but whose methods were
doubtless justifable only by revolutionary
necessity, if at ALL They seized the known
and marked ruitians, gamblers, and banditti
of the city, and without legal judge or jury,
hung them from the windows of the streets,
ard with bloody threats drove violently all
the rest out of the place. Gen. Sherman
was then banker but had been educated a
soldier. His military conceptions did not
allow him to countenance so complete u
violation of lawful authority, and, single
handed, he stood out against the whole
moral weight and wealth of that excited
community, insisting upon the peril of such
unlawful and high-handed proceedings.

courage to face such an opposition than to
face a battery He said it was stern work,

ed to its utmost capacity. Gen. Sherman was
chief fmarshal and occupied seat near the
front OF the stage. The orator had completed
his oration, the poet begun his song, when
one of his aids, white with fear made his
way down the middle aisle to the light,
and beckoning the generals ear, whispered
to him that the theatre had settled foot
and half in one of its side walls, under the
weight Of the crowd, and might be expected
any moment to tumble on their heads in
ruins. The general commanded him to sit
down just where he was, without turning
his panic smitten face to the audience, and
to say not one word. He then quietly sent
an aid out to report the condition of the
wall, and to see if the settling increased,
then gave his apparent attention to the poem,
expecting every moment, as he said, to see
the pillars reeling and the roof falling in
but nevertheless, certain that any general
and sudden movement and alright of the
people would hasten the catastrophe and
aggravate the ruin, while, by the ordinary
slow method of dispersion, the danger nigh.
possibly be escaped. The exercises continu-
ed calmly to the close. The audience left
the theatre quietly without suspecting their
peril, and the terrible destruction was avert
ed by the presence of mind the self control,
the courage of that brave soul who, contem-
plating at one glance all the possibilities OF
the case, decided, in a divine calmness, upon
the policy of duty, and awaited without one
betraying glance, or treacherous change OF
complexion, the uncertain, tremendous con-
sequences.-Dr Belloacs in the Liberal Chris.

"IF YoU LOVE ME-, SAY So"-A good
story is told of rustic youth and buxom
country girl, who sat facing each other at

touched Patty's foot under the table. The
girl, determined to make the youth express
what he appeared SO warmly to feel, bore
with these advances little while in silence,
when she cried out, Look here, if you love
me, why don't you say so 9-but don't dirty

An Irishman, who was brought up in

legitimate basis Of genripe home. Look
at the deplorable condition of the young
men of this city without homes Boarding

ENCOUNTER BETWEEN AN ELEPHANT AND
RATA very extraordinary. encounter
between rat and an elephant has recently
taken place in tie Garden of Plants, London,
which was witnessed with interest by hun
drecs OF persons. The keepers were engaged
in destroying great number of rats, when
one of them escaped, and run to the spot al
lotted to the elephant. Seeing no other
refuge, in the twinkling of an eye the rat
snugly ensconced himself in the trunk of the
elephant, very much to the elephants dissat-
lstaction. He stamped his foot and twisted
his trunk around like the sail of windmill
After these evolctions he stood suddenly still,
evidently rejecting on what was best to do.
He ran to the trough where he is accustomed
to drink, and plunged his trunk into the
water, then returned to his den, and raising
his trunk, with the water he absorbed,
ne dashed out the unfortunate rat, which
was in sheet of water like that issuing
from fire engine. When the rat fell to
the ground the elephant seized him and
made him undergo the immersion and pro-
lection four times. At the fourth throw it
fell dead. The elephant, with majestic
air, but cool and placid, crushed his an
noying little enemy with his foot, and then
went round to the spectators to make his
usual collection of caskes, sugar and other
dainties. The feat was received with voci
ferrous applause, which the elephant seemed
fully to understand and appreciate.

How COLD AFFECTS Us.-Dr Farr, in
discussing the effects of the cold weather in
1855 on the public health, came to the con-
clusion that the power of cold ON life varies
according to definite laws. 1t was found by
investigation that the mortality by cold is
twice as great under the age of 20 as the
mortality at 20-40, but after that turning
point the power of resisting cold decreases
every year, and men aged 90, in comparison
with men aged 80, suffer from cold in the
proportion Of 100 to 1. As the general re-
suit of five weeks observation it is stated
that the "danger after 80 of dying of cold il
doubled every nine years of age !" that is to
say, out of an equal population, for one
death by cold at 80 there were two at 80
four at 48, eight at 81, and SO on.
