EXTRAORDINARY HERoIs IsM OF A BoY.-
The Rev. e.. ]. Beck, the Bishop of New
foHndland's Commissary u, relates tue fol
lowing incident satsssas ntss
poor boy, whose name no one Knows,
but we may h0pa..it. ii recorded in the
Book of. Life, found three little children
who, like himself, had been washed
ashore fRonl one Of the many wrecks,
wandering along that dreary coast in
the driving sleet. They were crying
Bitterly having been parted from their
parents, and not knowing whether they
were arow ed Or saved, the poor lad took
them to q sheltered spot, pluekea nless
for them, and made them n rule but soft
bed. and then taking off his own coat to-
cover them, sat. by them all the night
long. soothing their terror untii they fell
asleep. In the morning, leaving them
still sleeping, he went in search of the
parents, and TO his great JOY found them
looking for the children, whom they had
given up for dead. He directed them
where til a.ind them, and then went on
hilnsalftp try to find some place Of shell
ter and refrsshment. But when the pa
rents were returning with their reGorer-
ed little ones. they found their preserver
lying quite dead upon the snow. not far
from where they parted with him. The
long exposure In his exhausted state was
too much for his little streng 9Th. and hav-
ing saved his little eharge rge--strangers to
him as Be to them-h lay down and died.

A DAY WITHOUT Al NIGHT.-0ne night
in July we landed on the shore of d
northern ford In latitude 60 north We
assembled cliff which rose j GOO feet
above the sea. It was late, but still
sunlight The Arctic Ocean stretched
away IN silent yastness at our feet. The
sound of its waves scarcely reached our
airy lookout. Away in the North, the
huge old sun swung along the horizon
like the slow beat of the pendulum In
the tall clock in our grand fathers parIor
corner. w hen both hands came together
at twelve, midnight. the full round ord
hung ttriHmplantly above the Wave-a
bridge of gold running due north span
ned the waters between us and him.
There he shone in silent majesty, which
knew no setting. We invoIantarily took
off our hats, no word was said. Combine
| If you can, the most brilliant sunrise
and sunset you ever saw, and its beauties
will pale before. the most gorgeous color
/ ing which now Htsup the ocean, heaven
| and mountain. In half an hour the sun
| had swung up pereeptibly on its beat,
the colors- changed to those of morning,
afresh breeze rippled over the hord, one
songster after another piped up in the
grove behind usWe had slid into an
other day.. #.. ssss sI III Tas

highest terms Of the performance. The
riding, acrobatics, gymnastics, trick
ponies, clown, and in fact everything
connected with this circus are the best
ever seen this side Of the Sierra Nevada,

no wonder it is 50 well patronized
wherever it goes. We were not pres

critically of the circus, but everybody
speaks highly Of it, and "what every

EDIron News I'm your issue Of last
Friday, in speaking Of the unreliability
ofthc telegraph in cases ofgrest moment,
you ask, "what is the matter 2'' If
you will recollect, some two years ago
tho press of San Francisco openly
charged that the Superintendent of the
Telegraph Company tempered with the
dispatches and used the wires for tho
purpose Of making money for his W
special benefit. Now It was a we'll
known fact that during the great rise
and fall of gold in those days, the tele-
graph could not DO relied upon at all,
and it was very justly charged that
something was wrong in the manage
ment of>the Telegraph Company, and
those who were 10 q position to know
did not hesitate to lay the blanc upon
the Superintendent. He made fabulous
sums Of money in q very short time,
lived in magnificent style in his country
residence and held back tho dispatches
to operate upon. Those of tue opera
tors who, becoming cognizent ofthe pro-
ceedings, aud un%guardedly lot drop u
word now and then, were promptly dis
chargedias '"knowing too much" and
the great Mogul had things all his own
way. For some time there has been no
opportunity for this worthy to indulge
In his passion for ~monopolizing things,
aud we have had our regular dispatches.
But the scene changes. The President
10 ON trial and the result of tho verdict
will, in all probability, send the none
tlry market up or down to some extent;
besides there Is an opportunity to wager
a few dollars on the result Of tho trial.
This is az. opportunityrot to be thrown
away, and Immediately we hear that the
I" line is not working" Indian troub-
les" etc. Now, Mr.. Editor, these things
nro tho common talk In San Francisco,
and why tho public will submit to such
impositions upon their rights Is more
than I can say. have said nothing
about mining stock speculations, but
merely endeavored to answer, In print,

IMPEACHMENT. = The Impeachment
trial was closed on Wednesday last, the
close of Judge Bingham's speech having
been greeted with the most boisterous
applause from the galleries and Hobbies,
and great confusion ensued. So great
was the excitement that the officers Of
the Senate were unable to execute the
order to clear the galleries, and the ser
vices Of the Metropolitan police were
required for that purpose. 1t is some
satisfaction to know that tho enthusiasm
aud excitement had a loyal instead OF
reasonable basis. The motions made
after the galleries were cleared and the
doors closed lead to the inference that
a decision may be delayed for several
days. This is to DO regretted, as, what
ever is to be the decision, any judgment
would be preferable to thefeuerish sus-
pense that now controls the public mind.
II johnson is to be acquitted and anar-
chy is u doom, the sooner its reign
commences the sooner it will end. So
