Singular Scene at the Departure OF n
Stpamar-

From the San Francisco Bulletin, Sept. SOL
AZ tho Panama steamer was about to sail
this morning, q carriage drove down town
to the landing and a Young couple got out.
The female OF thu party was very hand
some ad the man not bad looking. They
had evidently made every arrangement for
departure, and n largo Santoga trunk con-
tanning the young woman'g worldly goods
was carried on board by the porters. The
couple then followed and were seen loiter-
ing in the saloon apparently impatient to
sail. Her face was beaming with bushes,
but he was observed TO be quite anxious
about something.
When the first signal for those not pas
sengers to 60 ashore was sounded, he sud
donly reoolleoted that he had promised to
see some one ON the wharf, and telling the
Young lady that he would Immediately re-
turn, he rushed Of the steamer aud con.
cealed himself in the crowd. He wanted
the cables cast of; he wished 10 see the
gang plank hauled in, and TO hear the sig
nal gun Of the departing steamer, but he
had no desire to avail himself of the BEN
efts Of his own ticket to New York,
Again the warning gong was sounded,
and as he had not yet appeared the young
woman in the saloon became alarmed. Why
did he not returnI She fastened to the
side Of the steamer and deserted the young
man making quick time away from the
landing. The entire truth flashed on her
mind. She had been sent away. He did
not intend to go. She was betrayed and
deserted. The plank was unloosened aud
about TO be taken away, when the deserted
damsel sped down il like an arrow, and
burly potters staggered in her wake under
the load of her Saratoga box. She made
the wharf sprung into a hack, the trunk
was taken up. and in an instant she was in
hot pursuit Of tho false one. The chase
was exciting, and the crowd watched it DC
long as they could, with intense interest.
1t has not been ascartained whether she
chught him or whether the pursuit is still
going on. At all events, the steamship
company has the price Of two through
tickets without tho expense of carrying the
passengers, II is stated that the man who
attempted to play this trick on the fair one
is well known in this city, aud Ia a married
man. She was not his wife.

meet, in these times Of reduced postage
rates and cheap stationery, persons who
persist in crosg-writing their letters. We
have seen q letter written within a month,
by q man not very far advanced in years,
which is crossed twice at different angles,
once with black ink and once with red
Women have never quite given up
the fashion Of crossing their letters,
which sometimes make the letters
as difficult 10 read as the fair writer's

fashioned people to be found of both aexes
who, If they hear that you are going to
some distant town, will Immediately
pounoe upon you with a request to take a

mails were subject to highway robbery.

Bicrstadt's Vesuyius,

Bierstadt's new picture 'Vesuvius" has
been placed on exhibition in New York.
The Worlds critic awards il q sort Of half
praise, and describes the painting as fol-
lows;
elisa midnight view Of Yesuviusi in erup-
ton, taken near the Hermitage in last Janu-
airy, when the snow lay deep upon the sur
rounding country. The arrangement ofthe
objects presented gives to the picture an un-
balanced appearance at first sight, whichis
not lessened by the knowledge that the view
is strictly drawn In accordance with nature.
The volcano is shown on the left, III the dis.
lance, spouting fire and smoke. The clouds
sweep away sluggishly over the bmenigbt
sky in mursy pillows ire-lit to the right of
the picture, and from the base OF the noun
tain extends 10 the limit of the foreground a
dosolate decliyity of volcanic country, with
chasms and hummocks snow-whitcned and
fre-tinted. The adjacent ridge Of oomma,
rising close 10 YesuVius, stretches along in
shadow toward the beholder, and very ma
terially lessons the prominence ofthe yolca-
no. The canvas, which we should Judge is
six feet by four, is fully two-thirds given up
to.the foreground which presents only three
diatinpt objects Qi relief aside from the mo-
notony Of show aud sGorip, and the few
stunted shrubs that have showed THEN stalks
up inso the poisonous mir, and they are Il
broken aud angular upheayal of rocks, the
ruins ofthe Hermitage consisting Of three
crumblod wallis and two ~leafless trees.
Nothing else impedes the view for the artist
has wisely left the scene undisturbed by II
human accessories. The volcano sends a
red shaft of fire into the heavens partly
vailed in its own smoke that fIls up the
distances jets OF Gio leap up inio tho dark
ness all along the ridge that sweeps down
TO the plain, marking the eourae Of the
molten river, and, serene and glistcning,

KILLED FOR AN APPLE.-The Shasta (Cal.
Courier OF Oct. 10th, relates the following.
Last week we alluded TO tho fact that
John j. KEN had shot and killed w. +.
Stanley, on he st inst, at Kem's ranch,
on South Cow Creed, The testimony adj
duced before the Coroner'a Jury shows that
Stanley had ronted Kem's ranch and or
chardi that kem's family persisted in help
ing themselves to fruit; and that Stanley
denied their right 10 do so. KEN finally
entered the orchard with n revolver, with
the ayowed intention Of killing Stanley.
Mrs. Stanley seized hold of
Ken and prevented him firing Mt
her husband until no had got ont of the
orchard. Kem's daughter then brought
her father n rifle, and no lay in wait for
Stanley, who soon returned to the orchard,
carrying n rife, KEN then raised up from
his concealment and fired, the ball passing
through SANKEY'S brain, killing him in
stanty. The jury returned a verdict that
Stanley came TO his death at Kem's hands,
and that his daughter, Caroline KEN, was
accessory TO the deed. We understand
that KEN and his daughter surrendered
themselves to the Justice Of the Peace at
Millyille. KEN has had an examination
before Justice Adams, at Millville, and has
been held for murder, to await the action
of the Grand Jury. Caroline KEN, after
an examination was discharged.

The Elder Ronth.

Sol. Smith, a retired actor and manager,
has published a book Of theatrical rsmi-
niscencos and anecdotes, from which we
select the following in regard to Junius
Brutus Booth:
Il was acquainted with Junius Brutus
Booth for about q quarter Of a century.
When l first knew him, in 1927, he was a
truly great actor, and continued 80 to be
until he fell into bad company in New Or
leans, aud took 20 hard drink. Then he
became Indispensable, and, putting on
antic disposition on, made many believe
that he was crazy. l never believed him
to be a crazy mar except when he was ex-
cited by liquor, and that was pretty often
nearly all the time, in fact. / have seen
him act Richard many times as no other
man could or can act it. l have seen not
only the pit rise ut him as it did at Kean
in Drury Lane, on the occasion of that
great actors first appearance in London,
but have seen the whole boxes-pit, boxes
and g%allery-on their feot 10 do honor to
Booth while playing King Richard His
Sir Giles Oyerreach' Qn the last scene)
was t~erriicl Pescam' he acted perfectly.
King Lear, barring that he acted from
Tate's adaptation of the play instead of
- sNA'HA pA"hSoPNANB ~ ihlg up " ul6
Richard
His Hamlet was not great, ever. In
'Othello' Mr.. Booth was very good. but
not great; and in Iago,' according to my
poor Judgment, very bad indeed, and vet
he was always yearning to play the latter.
In 'Sylla' and Brutus' he appeared In my
eyes to magnify himself so as to look al
most q giant in size. He was great in Sir
Edward Mortimer Uhe last part he ever
Played, and east all others who attempted
TO play it in this country into the shade.
81 have seen Mr.. Booth play Jerry
Sneak and John Lump and / could
scarcely believe il was Booth who was play
ing them. After Tom Flynn broke his
nose he was q different actor, His face,
which had been beautiful and intellectual,
became almost disgusting to see; his voice,
which had been of great power and sweet
became harsh and nasaI-he was
completely changed. The present genera
ton has not seen the Booth that ! knew
Yet, with oil the disadvantages he labored
under during the hitter years of his life,
he continued las the man said at Kean's
hunenD to draw TO the last"
