THE LATE STORM IN SANTA CRuz.-T'

u ~
Sentinel of December 2sth says:
On last Sunday rain fell in torrents
and the wind blew q hurricane, threat
ening humiliation to man, beast and
other property, by sweeping the face OF
the earth, while the streams Of water
throughout the county, big and small,
swelled out in tremendous proportions,
assuming the volume Of navigable
streams, and rushing, and foaming, and
eddying, now here, now there, floating
debris and trees Of the largest proper
tons, and rushing ''from the mountain
o-the sea" with q velocity that threat
ened iuundation to all opposing objects.
During Sunday a large number Of per-
sons visited the ~foot-bridge across the
San Lorenzo, some few Of the more ad-
venturous having the hardihood to cross
il, which was made extremely danger
Gus by the strong wind blowing from
the southeast. Large bodies Of floating
timber passed down, doing the bridge
no serious injury. The piles driven at
the upper end of the old bulkhead BY
,Elihu Anthony, for the purpose of max
ing soil during a freshet, protecting the
foundry property and Strengthening the
river, did good service. The piles driven
opposite the Thurber property by F. A.
Him and others were in part washed
away. A large frame building, the
property Of Howe, and located in the
Weeks addition, in oursc Of erection,
was blown down. The damage to the
building is estimated at from $500 to
$500. The roof was blown off from the
residence Of Mrs. Miller, compelling the
family to hunt other quarters for pro:
lection. Many trees and shrubs were
partially or entirely destroyed. The
road to Jacksonville from this place is
in a bad condition, and the road from
watonsonville to San Jose is represent
ed as impossible, the stage having dis
continued regular trips. The rew toll
bridge of Captain John Hesrander across
the Pajara river is reported to have been
badly injured. The storm continued
during Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day. We have received but little mail
matter. The Santa Cruz terminus Of
the stage line has been on the opposite
side Of San Lorenzo river, compelling
passengersto cross the Branciforte creek
in a boat, and then foot it to the hotel.

Of tho FIN Avenue Opera House
Sharpicy's Finger Shot on.

HAu8oT ouot VIM
IRON the Now York Tribune. Dec. l2.1
A sanguinary shooting ARRAY occur
red, at about 4 o'clock, yesterday after
noon, in front of the Fifth Avenue
Opera House, in Twenty-fourth street,
near the the Fifth Avenue Hotel. For
some time past a deal Of bad feeling has
been harbored BY Kelly and Icons and
Sam. %Sharplcy's minstrel troupcs, and
when they were at Boston, last summer,
high words passed between the princi-
pals; but they did not resort to blows.
They did not meet again until yestcr-
day, when, after tho matinee, Sam.
Sharpley encountered Leon as he was
leaving the Opera House. Hero angry
words were spoken, and j%ostling ensued;
Leon says that he was struck BY Sharp
ley, who is the heavier of the two. At
this moment Kelly approached and at
tempted to assist Leon, and o general
melee followed. Tom. S~harplcy, tho
brother of Sam. rushed in and grappled
with Kelly, and NIL struggled together
and fell on the ground when, after n few
minutes fighting, Sam. Sharpley and
Kelly got on their feet, and the latter,
freeing himself, stepped back, drew his
revolver and fired upon Tom. Sharpley
twice. Both shots took effect, and
Shnrpley fell to the ground. Meantime
Sam. S~harpley had got on his feet, and
fred upon Kelly, ~wounding him on the
left temple, the ball entering between
tho ear and left eye, and passing round
the head. Leon, while the contestants
were firing had crossed over to the other
side of the street. Tom. Sharpley was,
without delay, borne into the Opera
House, but life was extinct before med
ical aid could be summoned. He had
been shot in two places. On the arri-
val Of the police Kelly and Sharpley
were taken into custody, and Captain
Spcight, seeing Leon on the ground
took him with the rest to the Twenty
ninth street Police Station, where they
were all lodged. Tom. Sharpley's body
was removed, just rs it was found, to
the Bellevue Hospital, and there IN in
quest is to be held this morning at nine
o'clock. Sam. Sharpley had n of his
fingers shot off in the melee; 1t is sup
posed that the shooting was done by
his own pistol. DR.. Sayre said, after
m examination Of Kelley's wound last
evening that it was not serious, and that
he will, in all probability, ccover.
Kelly acknowledged that he fired upon
Tom. Sharpley, and it is supposed that
he killed him.

LIFE in America-in cities ut least
is steep. It is compressed. Two years
arc rolled into one, night is made into
day, and day is made to consume not n
little Of the oil of life. Things are
rushed. Thinkers think with n velocity
which isn't found in the country. En-
terprises nrc accelerated. Even piety
and the church have a sort Of fiery in-
tcnsity which isn't seen elsewhere. And
yet who will say that this sort Of life is
not better than its opposite. Wearing
ont is better than rusting out. Who
doesn't like polish better thnn mould
Life isn't altogether in years, but rather
in deeds.

THE CARRIcATURIsT OF NAPOLEON
The action of the French Government in re-
gard to the young amateur caricaturist who
lately amused himself at tho Emperor's ex-
pense, is universally condemned in Paris.
He drew on the blank wall of bankers
room pencil sketch representing the Em-
peror, arrayed after the fashion of Blondin,
walking blindfolded along tight rope and
holding in bis hands balancing pole, on one
end of which Bismarck stands, while Garibal-
di is gamboling on the other. The Empress
was represented standing underneath, with
her hands clasped and exclaiming, "Mon
Dieu I'm afraid he is going to fall" The
youth who drew this admirable satire is but
eighteen years of age. The police invited
his employers to dismiss him, aud as it is
dangerous to triae with the politemess ofthe
French police, the audacious young draughts-
man lost his situation

VINO Is GEXTLEMAS.-A gentleman is not
merely person acquainted with certain forms
and eiquettes of life, easy and self possessed in
society, able to 81 peak and act, and move in the
world without awkwardness, and free from hab>
its which are vulgar and in bad taste. A genie
man is something beyond all this ; that which
lies at the root of all his ease, and refinement,
and tact, is the power Of pleasing-how can he
show respect for others-how may he avoid hurt
ing their feelings. When he is in society he
scrupulously ascertaiLs the position and rela-
tions of every one with whom he comes in cons
tact, that be may give to each his due, his proper
position He studies how be may avoid touch
ing in conversation upon any subject which may
needlessly hint their feelings, how be may ab>
stain from any alusion which calls up disa>
greeable or offensive association. A gentleman
never alludes to, never appears conscious OF any
personal defect, bodily deformity, inferiority OF
talent, rank, or reputation, in the persons in
whose society he is placed. He never assumes
any superiority for hmself--he never ridicules,
never boasts, never makes display of his own
power, or advantages, such as is implied in rid
icule, sarcasm, or abuse, as he never INDUCES
in habits, tricks or inclinations which may be
offensive to others.

AFRAID TO Wharf.-The greater portion

test kind of haste to nominate Grant for Pres

aud opinions, bat they are not disposed to

can't wait, because their exigency wont.
Six weeks ago, they had no thought of tak>
ing the hero of Richmond as their candidate,
and they never would have had such thought
but for the running defeats that have recen>
tly befalIen them Under stress of circum,,
stances they seize upon his name in a spirit
of desperation, willing to take him upon
trust, whatever he may be. They don't
want him to write letters, for they are afaid
that, if he should write at all, he would write
what they wouldn't like to read. They don't
know whether he is for President Johnson's
impeachment or not; They don't know
whether he is for negro suffrage or not; they
don't know whether he is for con fscation or
not; they don know whether be is for sat>
rapies or not; they don't know whether he
is for the Congressional plan of reconstruc-
ton or not: No, they are profoundly ignor-
ant in regard to these things, and yet they
are making rush and dash to get him out
as their candidate. They are well aware
that he gave what seemed to be the strong.
est evidence of conservatism in the terms he
accorded to General Lee at the surrender be-
fore Richmond-terms which Radicalism
would not have dreamed of grantiug-but
all this they ignore, in their terror, as AZ
mounting to nothing. They have made up
their minds that, if he won't accommodate
himself to them, they will, unhesitatiugly,
accommodate themselves to him.
