DEATH OF A NAVAL OFFIcER.-Last even
ing, about halfpast seven o'clock, word was
sent to the Police Office that man had been
killed at the northwest coruer of Sutter and
Stockton streets. We Immediately des-
patched reporter to the place, who learned
the following facts: a young lady in the
employ of tailor on Sutter street was about
going home; as she passed she saw two men
having firm hold of the man and knock
ing him over the head. One of them pro-
ceeded to pull his coat off and throw it over
his head, whilst the other went through his
pockets; they then threw him to the ground,
the man falling across the railway track.
diately called for aid, and several gentlemen
from the corner grocery opposite came out,
picked the man up and carried him to the
store. Medical aid was Immediately sum
moned. but arrived too late TO render any
assistance, AS the unfortunate man had al
ready expired. The doctors could not then
give an opinion as TO the cause of his death;
one of them thougt that he might have died
of apoplexy. No marks Of violence could
be found on his person yet still he miRht
have been struck on the back of the head
by ruffians with heavy sand bag, which is
sometimes used by robbers TO accomplish
their foul designs. These sand-bags, though
they leave no outer mark on the person
when struck on the head, cause q conclusion
of the brain, producing immediate death.
From papers found on the body OF the dead
man, il was believed to be that of Lieutenant
Commander John G. Mitchell, of Sagindlc,
that was wrecked some time since at Vic
toria. He was fne-looking man, well
built, about 35 years of age. The deceased
was a native OF Massachusetts,, and entered
the Navy in 1S49, and had been eighteen
years in the service. The Coroner was noti-
fed, who had the remains conveyed to his
office, where an inquest will be held.
LATER.-At last accounts we learn that
Lieut. Mitchell was not murdered, notwith-
standing the statement of the woman who
says she saw him struck and robbed. II Is
believed that be died in fit, and mis- valu-
ables were taken charge Of by one Of the
policemen who arrived on the ground very
shortly after he died
We are informed that yesterday Lieute-
nant Mitchell received his commission Of
promotion as full Commander of the man-of-
war SaraHae, and was ordered East to report.

A THRILLING ADvESTURE.-A merchant
who, wishing to celebrate his daughters
wedding, collected a PARTY of her young
companions; they circled around her, wish
ing much happiness to the youthful bride
and her chosen one. Her father gazed proud
ly on his lovely child, and hoped that as
bright prospects for the future might open
for the rest Of his children who were playing
among the guests. Passing through the
hall of the basement he met a servant who
was carrying a lighted candle In her hand,
without the candlestick. He blamed her for
such conduct, and went into the kitchen to
see about the supper. The girl soon return
ed without the candle. The merchant i'm
mediateIy recollected that several barrels Of
gunpowder had been placed in the cellar
during the day, and that one had been open
ed.
"Where is your candIeY'' be enquired In
the utmost alarm.
81 couldn't bring it up with me for my
arms are full Of wood" said the girl
"Where did you put itr'

passage was long and dark, his knees threat

choked, his flesh seemed dry and parched az
If he already felt the suffocaffng blast Of death
At the end OF the cellar, under the very room
where his children and their friends were
reveliDg in felicity, he saw the open barrel OF
powder, fuIl at the top; the candle stuck
loosely In the grains, with a long red snuff
Of red wick
This sight seemed to wither all his powers
the laughter ofthe company struck upon his
ear like the knell of death. He stood for
moment unable to move. The music COM

spending with viTacity; the floor shook, and
the loose bottles 10 the cellar jineIed with
the motion. He faneied the candle mored-
was falling; with desperate energy he sprane
forward, but how to remove Il; the sIightesf
touch would cause the red wick to fall into
the powder. With unegualled presence Of
mind he placed hand on each side Of the
candle, with the open palms upright, and
the fingers pointed towards the object Of
his care, which as his hands met was secured
In the elasping Of bis fingers, and safely
moved away from its dangerous position.
When he reached the head Of the Stair be

ton was too powerful, and he fell into fits Of

OF the above, to thoroughly inspect the
Chassepot. They were unanimous in con-
demning II for use in cold country, as the
amount of fabrication with oil was too great,
and the oil would freeze and impede the ac-
ton; besides, soldier in camp, a garden

rough campaigner, who growls at every extra
bit of labor forced upor him, and the French
soldier does not take to trouble very kindly.

Bismarck or Russia will doubtless have an
eye to the exact merits of the Chassepot, and
delay till the dead season of winter or severe
weather comes on.-Nescs Letter.

Some said Let Prussia give the exam
pie Of liberal Institutions, and all the others
will come to her and join her." Their
motto was: Unity through Liberty. 9th
ers thought that Austria and all the other
States, rejecting every kind Of reform,
should first De compelled, and that Liberty
would be the result of Unity.
1t is only the truth to say that Mr. Won
Bismarck never pretended to conceal his
projects, and to this, the following passage
from a speech, he delivered in October,
1862, bears witness "The interest of
Germany is not that Prussia should be
liberal, but that she should be strong. She
must increased aud concentrate her strength,
and seize all favorable opportunities. Our
frontiers are not those of weltconstituted

votes and discussions that great questions

Otto Won Observation-Disclosures was
born on the 1st of April, 1915, and be
longs to an ancient family of Altmark,
which has always had some of its members
engaged in the military profession. His
father, an ex-captain Of cavalry, sent him
to the Universities Of Gottingen, Berlin
and Griefswald, for the study of law and
political economy. Yong Bismarck dis
tinguished himself by his remarkable apti-
tude for bodily exercises, gymnastics and
fencing. He vas fond Of duels, favorite
amusement with the German students of
that period, and acquired the reputation of
a successful duelist. and more than one of
his political opponents in the Berlin Par
lament still bear the scars Of wounds he
inflicted upon them. His quarrelsome dis
position. his powerful frame, and his bodily
strength seemed to destine him as an Of
fcer Of Cuirassiers, and even to this day,
he likes to wear the uniform of that corps
in preference to any other. He, however,
did not continue his military career, but
discharged some uuimportant administra-
tive duties at Berlin and Aix-la- Chapelle.
In Is45. his father died, and he resolved
to live in the country and employ his time
IN taking care of the properties ne had
inherited in Saxony and Pomerania. In
ls47, he was deputed to the General As
sembly, and leaving, for time, the useful
occupations of country gentleman, he
sided, without hesitation, with the party
that, in view Of preserving and increasing
the privileges Of the aristocracy, wanted
70 MAINTAIN unalt&ed and unimpaired, the
absolute power of Royalty. He made him
self renowned by his passionate attacks
against the new ideas of political equality
and constitutional liberty.
After the year 1913, he was not elected
to the Parliament of Berlin nor to that of
Frankfort, and lived IN :he country. The

feelings of hatred, distust snd contempt

had been re-established BY Austria, it was
not strong enough to cheek the antsgo-

The conviction that reform was neces-

he was called revoludOnist by some, and
laughed at by Others. In the same year,
Mr.. Won Beust, then Prime Minister of
Saxony, remodeled the idea Of the Triad,
and made it yet more complicated; while

presented again the programme Of Erfurt.
Lastly, the Emperor Of Austria, in the

Frankfort, communicated project eyi-

project of reform was sure to be defeated
by the veto of either Prussia, Austria, or
the other States, when it was in favor of
either of the two rival Powers. This
state of affairs, though condemned and
blamed By all, could not be altered, for the
simple reason that none of the States
would give up the slightest part of their
independence. Germany, at that time,
