NUMBER 81.
A Brutal Scene at Los Angeles.

The bull and bear fight in the upper part
of town on Saturday last was success
This highly moral entertainment was not
witnessed alone by native Calfornians, but
among the audience was liberal sprinkllng
of all classes. The arena in which the fight
took place was a small inclosure of from i've
to SIX rods square, in the center of which was
an upright post, to which the bear was
chained by the hind and the bull by the fore
leg. The bulls horns were sawed about
one-third off, to put him on n fair footing
with Bruin, who was blind. The spectators
arranged themselves around the small inclos-
ure as best they could-the payment of a
dollar emitting one to seat on the aristo-
cratic side, near some cornstalks set on end
to keep the sun off, which they failed to do.
Considerable time was spent IN getting the
animals in position. The first bear being
blind, not much of fight was to be expected
OF him. The most revolving part of the
whole performance was to see the satisfac.
tion manifested when the poor blind bear
was being frightfuily hooked by the sawed
off horns of the infuriated bull. All seemed
to desire the death of the poor blind bear as
a punishment for being blind and unable to
go for" his antagonist. Not getting much
fight from this bear. another bear and bull
were brought into the arena. Half an hour
was expended in vain attempts to get them
together after the ropes had been removed
and they were expected to 90 at it. When
they did come together, after much urging
the encounter was terrific one, the bear grab.
bing the bull by the nose, throwing bis paws
around his neck, and in this EN- brace, Of
death almost it seemed, bull and bear both
rolled over in great loud of dust amidst
great cheering The bull in this encounter
seemed worsted and moaned piteously, but
the bear said not word, though fearfully
kicked and trampled When the animals
showed a disposition to stop the fight, they
were again urged on by the brutes having
the management. And thus it continued
until dark, and longer, for aught we know
to the contrary.-Los Angeles Republican
Aug. 90.

Z" We didn't want to frighten him." said
one man, in half whisper

said the captain, and we did all we could. but
at last be died only one out of many. There
were FIVE buried that day. But it br.le nv
heart to see the mother looking out upon the
water. "It's his father think of, said she ;
he is longing to see poor Jamesy."
Connor groaned.
Keep up, if you can, my man" said the
captain.
Il wish any one else had it to tell rather
than l. That night Nora was taken ill also ;
very suddenly. Sne grew worse fast. In
the morning she called me to her.
.Tell Connor l die thinking of him. she
said, and tell him 10 meet'-And my man,
God help you, she never said anything more
in an hour she was gone ="
Connor had risen He stood up trying to
steady himself; looking at the captain with
his eyes dry as two stones. Then he turned
to his friends.
I've got my death, boys" he said, and
then he dropped 10 the floor like a log.
They raised him and bore him away. In
an hour he was at home on the little bed
which had been made for Nora. weary with
her long voyage. There, at last he opened
his eyes. Old Mr.. Bawn bent over him
lie had been summoned by the news, and
the room was full of Connor's fellow-work
men.
Better, Conner ?" asked the old man.
GA dale said Connor It's aisv now !:
I'll be with her soon. And look We, master,
I've learnt one thing-God is good; He
wouldn't let me bring Nora over to me, but
He's taking me over to her-and Jamesy-
over the river; don't you see it and her stand
ing on the other side to welcome me 2''
And with these words Connor stretched
out his arms-perhaps he did see Nora
Heaven only knOws-and so he died

An ASTOUNDING DIscovERY.-The Nash
vile (Tenn.) Gazette, of July 25th, has the
following:
We have the particulars connected with the
recent discovery of robbers cave on the
river bank, few miles distant from Garth
age, which have not been published The
discovery was first made by party of small
boys, on the bank of the river opposite the
cave. Their attention was attracted by see
ing baskets lowered by means of ropes from
the rocks above. They concealed themselves,
and patiently watched for further develop
ments. The baskets continued to ascend and
descend, and at last. when night was nearly
at hand, very suspicious-looking man came
out OF the cave, got into one of the baskets
and was drawn to the top of the precpice.
That night the boys impaired this informa-
tion to men in the neighborhood, and the
next morning the place was besieged by per-
sons anxious to learn something further
Most of these persons were armed and ready
for any sort of wild adventure. Upon re-
moving pile of old logs, a large opening in
the rocks was discovered, and into this place
party of the men at once ventured to 90.
while others remained outside on watch
They found that the opening led into an i'm
mense cave. of the existence of which moth
ing was previously known by honest people
in that locality. The men explored but
short distance until they came to point
which had evidently been used as human
habtation, and horrible as it may seem, was
the home of human creature. After find
ing few articles of clothing, some washing
utensils, couple of fine bedquits, mattress.
and three or four old guns, they were startled
by the groans of human voice coming from
dark recess in the cavern.
The men went with light in the direction
of the sound, and found the emaciated and
almost lifeless form of a man, stretched upon
a heap of straw, and securely tied with ropes.
He was Immediately taken from his terrible
prison house and conveyed to the residence
of Mr.. Owen Long, where he was at once
provided with medical attention and the
nourishment his condition required. As vet
1T has not been possible to get from him the
awful secret of his grave-like prison-house.-
He speaks but little, and appears to be either
unable or unwilling to give any information.
Other developments are anxiously looked for,

which was exposed and frustrated by a

an interview with the young lady's father,
who said that he " loved and honored him

THE most amusing feature of the campaign
is to read the denunciation which the Dem.
ocratic organs are Illuminating against dis
union. Semmcs is said to be very strong in
that direction now likewise Toombs and
Wigfall. If the truth could be known, we
are inclined to the opinion that Jefferson
Davis himself is deeply moved about this
time on the same subject. The pa ties who
are guilty of treason in their ewes are the
persons who succeeded after fur years war
in whipping them back into the Union which
they endeavored to break up aud leave. We
should hardly be able to believe our ewes in
this matter, if we did not know that there
was tradition that once upon time the
Devil himself had audacity to turn preacher.
