Mark Twain on the California Earth
make Man.

w. Frank Stewart, of San Jose,
California, is still predicting earth
quakes. For several years he kept a
neat but not gaudy little liquor store
in San Jose, land doubtless keeps it
still, and in the intervals of mixing
gin tOddies and Santa Cruz punches,
he instructed himself in the abtruse
science of earthquakes-if there be
such a science, properly. He invent
ed machine for determining the di-
rectl0n OF earthquake shocks. 1t was
simply lead pencil fastened in such
a manner with its point against a
sheet of white paper that it would
make a mark up and down, across or
zig-zag, when the house was shaken
by an earthquake; and so whenever
Stewart was out of his boots or his
bed, he did not rush for the streets, as
other citizens did, but rushed to see
what the earthquake had written him
as to what direction it was travelling
and whittier it was probably bound.
The building was a small frame one,
and the hogs got to scraping them
selves against it for comfort; their
performances were faithfully recorded
by the earthquake machine, and as
faithfully reported to the public by
Stewart, until he found out the fraud
at last-and none too soon for his rep
utatiOn as an earthquake expert. But
Stewart is an earnest, ingenious and
industrious man, and he has clung to
his investigations between drinks un-
til he has gotten so now that he can
swing the formidable scientific earth
quake terms with the ease of q bald
and venerable college professor. His
His latest achievement was the prom
ising of an earthquake on a particular
day, and the specification of the hour
wherein it would arrive, its exact du-
ration and the probable amount of
damage it would do. Everybody pump
ed supply of misery and consterna-
ton for the occasion, and when they
were all ready, the earthquake did not
come. This is an excellent lesson for
boys. This poor man was nothing
but an ignorant bar-keeper at first,
but by dilligent attention to watering
his whiskey and studying Latin tech
niealities and such things, he has got
so that he can tell within a year or
two of when there will not be an
earthquake. And he has grown
wealthy, too, and some day, when he
gets further along, so that he can be
prompt with his earthquakes and not
the people, he will become
great. He is getting up prodigious
earthquake for November, and will
spare no pains or expense to make it
everything the public can desire.
Thus by industry, enterprise and
close attention to business, this hum
BILE young man has raised himself up
to be shining and useful member of
society. Let US hope, for his sake,
and the sake of his widowed mother,
who is solely dependent upon him for
support, that his earthquake viii be
an awful one this time.

Horrible Case Of Starvation.

A Cedar Rapids, Iowa, correspond
ent of the Dubuque Times, writing
under date of August 2Sth, saws: We
ehaneed to come in possession of the
facts of most terrible and unprece-
dented case of starving a human be-
ing alive. The victim of this inhu-
man cruelty a lad of about seven or
eight years of age, lives with his pa
rents in the suburbs of the Ordinari-
" quiet and orderly town of Marion.
tits asserted by number of the neigh
boTs that they have at different times,
within the last few weeks, visited the
house of the boy for the purpose OF
ascertaining whether the reports
which their children were continual
ly giving them were true or not. As
pretext for these visits, they would
take with them some little delicacy
for the afflicted boy, as means of as
certaining whether the reports which
their children were continually urg.
ing upon them were correct. But
these attempts to get a sight of the
poor child were mostly in vain, as he
was kept in an old garret and secured
with a chain around his neck. Imag-
inc what his sufferings must have been
in this condition during the recent
hot weather.
Sufficient evidence, however, was
gained in this way to warrant an eX-
animation into the matter by the Off
GERS of the law; and accordingly Sher-
iff HayZlette, with a number of citi-
zens, proceeded to the house to make
and to see that the
parents were properly punished un-
less they would guarantee more hu-
name course of treatment to their boy
in the future.
This visit was made on last Thurs
day, and, although the chains had
been removed, the boy was found to
be nothing but skin and bones He
cOnfessed-as had been stated by the
neighbOring children-that he had
been starved until he was obliged to
eat flies. He was also seen to pick
the rags from off his scanty garments
and eat them.
He had been kept in this way secre-
ted, and, until recently, unknown to
even his nearest neighbOrs. For over
six months they have kept him in
this condition, and allege as an ex-
cuse for their brutal treatment, that
he was subject to fits, and that they
were afraid he would get away and
annoy his neighbOrs. But those who
saw and talked with him were con-
WINGED that the cause of the fits (if
the parents story is correctly is the
of the treatment he re-
ceives at their hands. His entire per-
son showed unmistakable evidences
of cruel beating, as well as starvation,
until life was almost gone.
A few days or weeks of similar
treatment would have put an end to
his existence, and the aim of the pa
rents would doubtless have been Gc-
The Sheriff ordered that
the boy was to be well provided for,
and was to go unclaimed for the fu-
ture

A Fearful Jump by a State Prison
Convict

Wednesday afternoon Officer Hale
started from Fitehburg with fellow
named Frank Francis in charge, who
had Just been sentenced to the State
Prison for four years, for pocket pick
ing. The convict was hand-eufied
and sat in the smoking car two seats
from the door, the officer sitting in the
seat opposite him and talking with
the conductor. All of sudden Fran
els started from his seat, rushed to the
door, opened it and jumped from the
platform while the cars were going at
the rate of forty miles an hour. The
officer started and grabbed him by the
coat Just as he jumped but his hold
failed, and the fellow got away. The
cars were at once stopped, and parties
started in pursuit. They found the
bushes and a telegraph pole where he
jumped off covered with blood, but
though they searched for hours they
could not find the prisoner. The
place where he jumped was near Lin
coin, in the woods where there is
thick growth of underbush, in which
he probably seereted himself. The
of those who searched for
him, judging from the blood spilled,
was that he was so badly injured that
he would not live. Warden Haynes
offers $50 reward for his arrest.

ARomance Of Mormonism.

An advertisement appeared some
days ago in one of the st. Joseph
papers, signed by James Wright Tor
White of Marysville, California, ask
ing information of the whereabouts of
his sister, formerly Jane White, who
married a man named James Miller,
in Scotland, and with him came to
this country, stopping at st. Joseph,
in 1861, since which time she has not
been heard from by her brother. Il
seems that her brother removed from
Scotland to California subsequent to
the departure of the sister from the
country. We have learned the facts
in the case from a gentleman well ac-
quainted with Mr.. Miller. Miller, it
appears, started from Scotland for Salt
Lake in 1861, intending to embrace
the Mormon faith. With his wife he
arrived in st. Joseph in due time; but
here the wife became posted in regard
to the revolving condition of women
in Salt Lake, and refused to accompa-
ny her husband any nearer to the land
of Latter Day Saints. So he left her,
alone and unfriended, to her fate. But
Mrs. Miller, being an upright and
honest woman, was not long in
making friends, and soon procured
situation to do housework in a respec-
table family, which place she retained
for several years. Her employer as
sisted her in procuring a divorce from
her husband; and, some two years
ago, she was courted and her affection
won by an honest and well-to-do far
mer named Collins, and they were
married. They have lived in the ut
most harmony and happiness. Their
farm is few miles below st. Joseph,
near the railroad. Mrs. Collins did
not communicate the fact of her sec
ond marriage to her relatives, and
hence the anxiety of her brother to
learn of her whereabouts. He will
doubtless be gratiied to hear of her
happy circumstances.

Jenny Lind and the Blind Boy.

A poor blind boy, who is highly
gifted with musical talent, and who
resides in the northern part of the
State of Mississippi, had expressed
such anxiety to hear Jenny Lind sing
that his friends raised subscription
to send him on as far as New Orleans
to crafty his wish. On arriving there
he accidentally took lodging at the
same hotel, with Mr.. Kyle, the eele-
brated fiutist. One day Mr.. K. hear
ing some very wild and sweet flute
tones, listened for some time in sur
he said to himself, ''Well, that fellow
thinks he can play but now I'll just
show him what / can do" Taking
up his flute, he played the air of 1.-THE
Last Rose of Summer" with varIa-
tions. The blind boy listened with
GREATNESS delight, and, following the
sound, he came to the door of Mr..
Kyle and stood there until the last
notes ceased. With a feeling of i'm
pulse he could not restrain, he knock
ed at the door.
"Come in" said Mr.. Kyle, and not
recognizing the lad, he said: "What
do you want, sir?''
'I am blind, said the boy, land
have been drawn hither by your sweet
mucic. Do tell me who you are?"
al am but a poor musician" said
Kyle, "and am travelling with Jenny
Lind, as a flutist."
"You arer exclaimed the lad
"Oh! sir, do take me to hear Jenny
Lind; 1 have come a long way to
hear her sing, but the price of tickets
is so high that am too poor to buy
one Can't you take me to hear her,
sir?" continued he, with great feel
ing. II have heard she is so good, so
generous, so pretty and sings so osweet- /
ly, that L shall never be happy until
1 hear her"
'Mr. Kyle felt deeply for the boy,
and promised to take him to hear the |
lovely Swede. Accordingly, he took |
the blind boy that night and seated /
him in a chair behind the scenes
The sweet songs of the Nightengale /
affected the lad deeply, and produced /
on him varied sensations But when |
Jenny sang "HOme Sweet Home" he |
melted into tears. On her retiring, |
she was attracted by the sound of his /
sobbing, and inquired who he was
Mr.. Kyle then told her the history of /
the lad in a few words, which much /
her; and sending for him |
the next day. the poor boy left the |
generous sOngstress one hundred dol |
lars richer than when he reached the |
city.
