A REMARKABLE DEATH.-A few
days since, couple of youths were
out in the neighborhood of the city,
practicing with a bow and arrow.
One of the boys discovered snake.
and killed it, shooting the reptile
through and through with his arrow.
Soon afterward one of the boys
placed himself behind tree, and ex-
posing one of his hands, challenged
the other to "shoot at the target"
The banter was accepted, and, with
the same arrow which he pierced the
snake, fired at the exposed hand, and
struck it nearly in the centre, inflict-
ing slight wound. In few hours
the hand and arm of the lad began
to swell, showing that poison from
the snake had been communicated
by means of the arrow. The youth
suffered intense agony, and after
lingering in this horrible condition
for three days, expired.
The boy who lost his life in this
playful and remarkable manner was
named Bailey, and his innocent com
panion was named Carroll.

A Washington correspondent says ::
cone of the younger members of the
French Legation has become noted
for his gallant speeches and his ex-
quisite compliments. A few even.
ings since, at German at Gov.
Morgan's, he was introduced to q
witty New York lady, who has an
unmistakably ugly flat nose. The
polite Frenchman discreetly compli-
mented her on her dancing, to which
she archly replied: 'Ah! I have heard
you are q fatterer; but you cannot
find it in your heart to compliment
me on my personal beauty, SO you
praise my dancing Madame was
the reply, with a Partisan bow, won
are an angel fallen from Heaven, bat
you fell on your nose.' The lady
narrated this compliment with great
complacency, until it was naughtily
insinuated that she was "a fallen
angel, since when she is silent on
the subject"

DEATH BRINGS OUT THE TRUTH.
A clergyman of the Church of Eng
land was left, by the death of his
relatives, the last of his family; and,
resolving to emigrate to America,
took ship, with his worldly effects, to
end his days with preaching the Cos
pei here. A convict leaving his
country for his country's good, in
the same ship, concealing his true
character, became intimate with the
clergyman. On the passage, how
ever, the latter took sick; was nursed
assiduously by the other, and dying,
left all his effects, including his ser
mons, letters and testimonials, to the
unknown nurse. Upon arriving safe
in this country the convict assumed
the name of the deceased, and, pre-
senting the letters and credentials of
the departed to the Bishop, was
invited to preach, which he did,
using one of the sermons he had
inherited, and was called to church,
where he officiated acceptably for
several years. The truth would not
have been discovered, had not the
wretched imposter divulged it on his
death-bed.

EsoAPED.-James Flynn, charged
with the murder of the late @. d.
Wallace, says the Cheraw Advertiser,
and who fed from justice before his
arrest, WAS recently captured and
brought to this place, where he was
committed to Jail to await his trial.
His captors, with the commitment,
started with him to the Jail of Marl-
boro District, and we regret to learn
that on the way he made his escape
again. The Executive of the State
offered q reward of $3.50 for his arrest
and lodgment in Jail. We trust he
will yet be brought to justice.

e On tie 18th. of February, two
strangers called on Colonel Shaffner,
one of the officers of the United
States Blasting Oil Company, and
said they wanted to purchase 300
pounds Of nitro -glycerine. Colonel
Shaffner asked them for reference,
and also the purpose for which they
required the oil. The men said their
money was their recommendation
and refused to make any explanation.
Their application was refused. The
next day another man called, and
said he wanted to buy 800 pounds of
glycerine. He was also asked for re-
ferences, and what he wanted it for.
He said it was intended for testing
cannon, but would not give refer
ences. His application was likewise
Col. Shaffner supposed that these
men were in the interest of the Fe-
mans. and that they wished to repeat
the Clelkenwell prison outrage. On
the 18th instant, the company re-
celved what purported to be an order
from regular and responsible Gus
toner for 166 pounds of the oil, and
on the 14th instant, the order was
filled. On the 18th, the fact was dis
covered that the order was a forgery.
The officers of the company spent
four or five days in trying to find the
parties.
Colonel Shaffner then called on
superintendent Kennedy to secure
the aid of the police in tracing the
property after it had been sold by
the company. Colonel Shaffner told
Mr.. Kennedy that he supposed the
oil had been secured for the Feniaps.
when the superintendent suggested
that it might be intended to use it
nearer home. Acting upon the sup
position, and in order to use all pos
sible means to recover the property,
Mr.. Kennedy sent letters to Score
tary Stanton and. the uperintendept
Of police at Washington, explaining
the circumstances, so that precautions
might be taken to prevent the use of
the oil in that city, in case it had
been sent there.
Mr.. Kennedy did not suppose the
contents of his letters would be made
public, as this course is not usually
pursued in police Matters
Thus far the police have not found
the car.man who carried the nitro
glycerine, and it is impossible to
form any opinion as to the direction
in which it was sent.

The OaliSSrnIa ResOi1tioISs.

The resolutions Of We California
Legislature, reported yesterday, in
dicate the possibility of serious oppo-
sition to Che radical conspiracy from
an unexpected quarter. The Pacific
States constitute power not to be
despised. Long before the late var,
they, manifested q leaning towards
the idea of setting up for themselves.
A "Pacific Republic" was talked
about asa possible fact some time
before the idea of Southern Con-
federacy had assumed a definite
shape. The disafection of the Cali
fornians was allayed by judicious
concessions at Washington, and the
scheme OF Pacific secession {if my
such had been seriously entertained)
was abandoned. When the war
broke ont between the Northern ana
Southern States, but little was said
about California and Oregon. Per
haps their Importance was under
valued; perhaps the proper steps
were not taken by the South to avail
itself of the remains that might exist
of former disaffeetion among the
Californians. However this may be,
it soon became evident that no help
was to be expected from that quar-
ter. The truth is, the Mobile Times
thinks, that the same hindrance ope-
rated in this case which cut off the
South from European support-the
Confederacy had to carry not only
ats own weight, but the burden of
the peculiar institution" con-
demned and repudiated by the world.
Nevertheless, the Pacific States were
practically but little more than neu-
tral duriag the war. They furnished,
it is true, few regiments to the
Federal army, but their remote po-
sition and their divided sympathies
hindered them from taking any
general or very active part in the
contest.
Since the close Of the war, too,
their practical independence has been
strengthened rather than diminish
ed. One illustration of this may be
found in the fact that gold and silver
are still the ordinary currency of the
country. The legislation of Congress
has never been eble to make green
backs anything more than an excep-
tional medium. Matters of bargain
and sale are conducted on specie
basis; it is understood, as matter of
course, that the price of an article is
to be paid in specie; and when the
Government currency is intended, it
is 30 expressly specified.
The growth of population and ex-
tension of territory on the Western
coast; the increasing trade of that coast
with Japan and China; the interven-
tion of the Rocky Mountains, of huge
deserts, and of the Mormons, be-
tween the Valley OF the Mississippi
and the people of the Paciiic-an
these are causes that tend to the
maintenance and growth of spirit
of isolation and independence among
these people. The feeling is one not
to be despised, and we doubt wbe-
ther Congress can afford to fout it.
We are glad, therefore, that the
California Legislature has expressed
itself SO promptly and taken SO high
a stand in support of the President,
and in denunciation of the radical
