FINE RANcu.-The johnson RANCH situated
on Saltwater Creek, in this county, is the
finest and most productive place we know of
in this section of the State. The ranch con.
tains several hundred acres of fine farming
land, which produces the finest hay, grain
and vegetables to be found in the county
The orchard contains several hundred of the
choicest fruit trees, which are loaded with
the different varieties of fruit and the vine
yard is extensive and produces immense
quantities of grapes, among which we noticed
variety known as the " Muscatel," the
largest we have ever seen anywhere. The
johnson Brothers are extensively engaged in
the manufacture of wines and liquors from
the products of their vineyard and orchard,
and already have large quantities of wine on
hand, but we cannot testify as to its quality.

lie appeared at the dinner table at noon, and
=. after eating light meal, retired to his room.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon some one
about the house heard an unusual noise In
the room occupied by the stranger. and called
the landlords attention to the circumstance
Thinking that something might be wrong
the landlord knocked at the door, but found
it bolted. On knocking the second time, a
voice from within told him to go around and
get in at the window, as the door was fast
ened. He did so, and found the stranger
lying on the floor and unable to rise on
interrogating him as to what was the mat
ter, he said he had taken poison. Medical
assistance was Immediately called in. and
after a few hours hard work their labors
proved effectual, and the patient was pro-
nounced out of danger. The patient stated
that he had taken strychnine, and that he
did so for the purpose of ending his life
Before taking the poison he wrote will,
bequeathing all his effects to the proprietor
of the house, and destroyed number of
letters and photographs, by tearing them into
fine pieces. He has persistently refused to
reveal anything about himself. He is either
a German or Frenchman by birth, as he
writes and speaks both these languages cor
rectly. Pecuniary embarrassment appears to
have been the immediate cause which led to
this attempt at selfdestruction.

killed an elk in the mountains, near Squaw

years, but they were very wild and watchful,

INDIAN DANcE.-The Indians of this

SnAMEFuI.-A correspondent of the New
York Tribune, writing from Queretaro, states
that the Mexican Government, in default of
paying the expenses of cmbalming the body
of Maximilian, allowed the corpse to remain
in the hands of the Mexican physician who
performed the operation, and that in order to
get his pay this inhuman wretch allowed
visitors to cut locks of hair from the Empe-
ror's head at eighty dollars per lock. The
Government that would tolerate such barbara
ty is a disgrace and insult to the civilization
of the age.

Fees of a ROYAL Family.

The sore feeling manifested by the English
people at the treatment accorded by the Gov
ernment to the Viceroy OF Egypt in his recent
visit is surely natural enough. Ismail Pasha is
as good as King, thoughsin name he Is only
Vlceroy of the Sultan. He has always been a
liberal friend to the British, and his behavior
towards Englishmen travelling in his dominions
has been remarkably generous. Yet the Royal
family showed him only the shabblest apology
for hospitality when he came to visit them;
none OF the Queens many palaces-Whitehall
st. James, Kensington, Buckingham, Kew,
Hampton Court, Frogmore, Marlborough House.
Clarence House, Windsor-Was fitted up for
his occupation; and Lord Dudley finally had
to rescue him from q hotel by giving up his own
mansion to His Highness' use. These circum-
stances provoke inquiry whether the Queens
conduct was dictated by poverty or par
simony. Let us see what the royal incomes
amount to. Here are the fgures:-Queen Vic
toria, $l,S7O,OOO; Prince Of Wales, $500, 600;
Princess of Wales, $50, 600; Duke of Edinburgh'
$4,000 Princess Royal of Prussia, $4,000;
Princess of Hesse, $4,000; Princess Helena,
$4,000; Duchess of Cambridge, 1000; her
eldest daughter, Is 900; her second daughter $685.
600; Duke OF Cambridge, $50 900. Total ST. 726 900.
Besides this, rich noodle named Neeld, passing
over all his own relations, bequeathed to the
Queen ST. 750, 600, which she was graciOusly
pleased to accept. There have been large
savings since the death of Prince Albert in
1861, in consequence OF the Queen living In
cheap retirement, and leaving the dignity of
the Grown" TO shift for itself; and If these
savings be estimated at only one-siXth of her
income, the amount cannot be under So, 900, 900
more. Prince Albert who was remarkably
saving, left to the Queen all his accommodations,
estimated at $4,000, 600. With an annual income
OF $l,87O,000, and a capital of not far from
$4,000, 900, Queen Victoria ought not to have
allowed royal guest either to stop at hotel
or to be indebted for his entertainment to the

Fatal Accident at Barnum's Museum.

somewhat singular occurrence took place
at Barnum's Museum, resulting in the almost
instant death of MIR. Edward Jones, the proprle-

the roof of the Museum building, IN Broadway
1t appears, frcm what could be learned OF the
circumstances of the sad affair (the officials of
the Museum being very reticent), that shortly
after noon yesterday party OF gentlemen had
been amusing themselves by firing with rifles at
target set up at the further end OF the gallery.
When they ceased firing Jones proceeded 10 the
target Tor the purpose of painting 1t over to
obliterate the marks OF the shots fired; while he
was so engaged young man, about seventeen
years of age, entered the gallery, and expressed
a desire to test his skill at rifle firing. The lad
who acted as assistant to MIR. Jones handed the
youth a loaded rifle, and the young man, ap-
parently not noticing Mr. Jones, or giving the

The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovEsTEEN
& Co.. are deemed by all good Judges to be the
Ultima Thule of instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make
musical instrument more perfect, although
we are slow to admit that the limit of i'm
provement can ever be attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to
their present excellence they had submitted
them to competition with instruments of the
best makers of this country and Europe, and
received the reward of merit, over all others,
at the celebrated Werld's Fair. 1t is but JUS
tice to say that the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied
by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a
more perfect instrument has been made--
They have accordingly achieved the paradox
of making excellence more excellent. Sure
ly, a:::er this, they are entitled to the motto,
