j AKSoTTY CASE.-CypreSs Nelson WAS arrest
ed yesterday morning on warrant Issued by
TRIAL Justice J. G. Aackey, charged with an as
sault and battery with intent to Kill and rob-
bery upon Henry Dart. From the affidavit OF the
latter it seems that he was quietly sleeping at MS
house, No. 25 America street, when Nelson enter
ed his chamber about one O'Clock New Years
morning and awoke him by striking him on the
head with q stick. He had q gold watch and
chain In pocket which Nelson then grabbed at
and got possession of. Dart was now wide
awake, and, .grappnng with the rohber, recovered
his property. The latter now tried TO make his
escape, followed closely by Dart, who, on reach
Ing the yard was Knocked down by Nelson with
stick which he held In his hand. While on
the ground Darts watch and chain were
again grabbed by the spoiler, who this
time effected his escape with the booty. Dart
Immediately went to the Upper Guardhousc and
reported the matter. Returning to his house, he
was again assaulted by Nelson with large knife,
and this time Dart took 10 his heels In earnest
Proving the faster OF the two, he reached large
brick pIle and seIxng large brick, confronted
his pursuer. Nelson turned and fed. and led his
pursuer lively race to the corner Of Mary and
Elizabeth s;rcets. he was here caught and ar
ro ted by policeman, who took from him
the Knife and the remaining portion OF the stick
which had been broken 10 the combat.
Nelson. however, thlns fimse'f the aggrleved
psr:y, and has taken out q warrant from Trial
Justice Buuch, against Dart, for an assault and
battery The aridayt Is just as positiveAs DARTS,
aud states everything the opposite way. Dart
was served with this warrant when before Trial
Justice Mackey. who refused to deliver him up.
The examination comes or to-day, and as no
third party was present during the nght, the
justices will have a nice time reconcing the op.
posing statements.

A TYPE COMPOSING MACHINE, by
means of which types Of any size may
DO composed at the rate of $4,000 an
hour, has recently been described by
the London Bookseller. This machine,
like all previous inventions, Is con-
structed on the plan Of a piano. The
operator touches q key, and liberates
a single type, which falls into a chan
mel, and with other letters forms words
and sentences in a long continuous
line, which is subsequently, spaced
OUT aud Justified" into lines, para
graphs and pages BY the compositor,
In the usual way. In the new machine
the principle Of distributing the types
Is quite different from all other ma
chimes. Instead Of the operator him
self directing the outward flow Of the
type by striking keys and pedals, the
action of the machine Is purely autom-
ical, and Is governed by a strip Of pa
per perforated like the cards used In
the jacquard loom to govern and nd
Just the threads, according to a de-
sired pattern. This method, although
apparently complex, It Is stated, Is adj
mirably simple In Its operation, and
has been In use for some time In set
ting up the Warrington Guardian, Eng
land, and portions Of the Graphic news
paper are composed by tn means.

Until the recent difficulties few Of
our citizens had known anything about
Corea; indeed, probably many had
never heard OF such q region. Corsa
Is o peninsula lying on the eastern
coast OF Asia, between the Yellow sea
and the japan sea. 1t Is 400 miles
long and $50 broad, and has an area Of
90 900 square miles. The coast Is
rugged, barren and very difficult Of
access, which fact accounts for the
little value attached to the commerce
Of the country. The northern portion
Of the country Is cold and mountain
Gus, but the western part possesses q
warm climate aud fertile soil, produc-
Ing wheat, rice, fruits, cotton, millet,
tobacco and hemp. The mines OF gold,
silver, iron, copper, coal and rock salt
are little worked, the people being
principally engaged In agriculture and
stock raising. Descriptions Of the
arms used in the struggle with our
troops show that, like the Chinese,
they possess some skill In the manu-
tacture of weapons. In their Jealousy
Of foreigners they resemble the Chi.
uese, to whom they are closely re-
lated. Buddhism Is the popular re-
ligion Of the country, although some
Of the people are followers Of the great
Chinese philosopher. Confucius. The
Government Is despotic, and, although
nominally tributary to China, Is really
independent. The sovereign Yields
both temporal and spiritual power,
being high priest of the, Buddhist re-
llgion as well as king. That the Gov
eminent Is unpopular Is plainly shown
by the friendliness Of the people to
the sailors of Admiral Rodgers feet
and their evident desire to aid them,
hindered by fear Of the authorities.
Victory to our arms Is almost certain
to be the result Of such a struggle rs
the one now in progress on the Asiatic
coast, but even this fact cannot make
war desirable. On an inhospitable
coast, far away from the c%onvenlcnces
Of civilized life, mortality among the
troops will be great, and the cost of
victory will be entirely dispropor-
toned to Its profits. 1t Is to be hoped
that prompt and bold measures on the
part Of our Government will lntimi-
date the Coreans and make them will
ing to treat with the embassy instead

SAN Francisco, Sept. II. P. NJ
No full returns yet In from any Ward.
Enough, however, Is known to show
that the whole Republican ticket Is
largely ahead In San Francisco, and
every man on the Taxpayers ticket
elected, with the possible exception OF
Badlam, for Assessor, between whom
and Rosener 1t is very close. Badlam's
friends are confident that he Is elected.
In the Fourth Ward, Tim Mccarthy.
Independent, is certainly elected Su-
pervisor.
The lowest estimate Of Booths ma
jorlty in the city Is now 1900, and 1t
may reach 1000. Booths election In
the State by at least 1000 majority ID
now conceded by the Democrats.
In the Ninth Ward, Booth had 306
majority, and In the first precinct Of
the Eleventh Ward, which Is usually
strongly Democratic, the straight tick
cts were Booth, 304 Haight, 305.
The scratched tickets will largely IN
crease Booths vote. 1t will be late to-
morrow before tho official figures can
BE- given. Haight appears to have
been traded off for every other candl-
date Oh the Democratic ticket down to
Justice of the Peace.
The total vote Of the city foots up as
given last night to 25,1l2.
Nc Ward has yet completed count
Ing ballots. The officers are worn out
and the work Is going on very slowly.
It Is now conceded that Booth car
ries the State By 1000 and San Fran
cisco by 1900 to 1000.
The contest between Badlam and
Rosener, for Assessor, Is very close,
but 1t Is generally conceded that Bad
lam is elected.
Hynes, Democratic candidate for
Recorder, is elected by the straight
Republicans running Col. Stevenson In
opposition to the Taxpayers nominee,
Higgins.
Alvord, for Mayor, will have 500 to
1900 majority.
Tim Mccarthy, Independent, is GER
tainly elected IN the Fourth Ward.
The Legislative ticket will have over
1000 average majority.
Mrs. Sarah P. Bull, wife Of Alpheus
Bull, aged 55 years, committed sui
eide by hanging herself in tho attic
after rising this morning. She had
been i'll for months and her mind had
become affected from great physical
prostration. No other cause Is as
signed.
LATER.-The returns are coming In

probably 5000 majority.

LIFE 1NsuRAHoE.

We yesterday received a circular
purporting to be . reply to the
agent Of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York. The ptinci-
pal feature of the circular Is a tabular
exhibit Of the decline Of that company
for the years 1858, 1859 and 1870, By
which it Is shown that Its liabilities
have increased IS, 2s0, 500 per annum
for the last three years, while Its
assets have only increased 1.-THE rate
Of IS, 1928, 624 for the same period. Its
premium receipts have begun to de-
crease, being Sill ,os5 less for 1870
than they were for 1869. Its total in
come is decreasing-while It's liabili-
ties are increasing. Its dividends for
1870 were $l,440, Ol0 less than In 1863.
Its new and profitable business Is
rapidly decreasing. Its surplus has
decreased $4,37l,s25 during the last
three years. Its percentage Of losses
Is rapidly increasing. Its percentage
Of losses In 1868 was 9.5 per cent. Of
total income; In 1859 was 1l.2 per
cent. Of total income ; in 1870 was 1874
per cent. Of total income. The peo-
pie Of Nevada pay about $250,0W a
year for life insurance, and have a
right to more information than Is
usually afforded by the commissioned
solicitors. Only now and then are they
permitted a "peep behind the scenes "
when rivalry warns into printed ex-
posures Of the dement's Of the COM
panies. The people want life insur-
ance-must have it-but they want to
know more about what they are pur-
chaslng-more Of Its weak points and
disadvantages; more Of the official
peccadillos to enable them to exercise
an Intelligent choice between the sew
eral companies. We have no doubt
that life companies require correction
beyond mere statutory restraint-cor-
rectious that public opinion and pa
tronage will make when properly en-
lightened by honest criticism, and that
the institution Of life insurance will
outlive Its abuses, and that more
thorough dissemination Of knowledge
will facilitate Its regeneration. (The
above statistics are taken from the
circular issued by J. A. Brumsey, Esq,
the agent Of the Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company Of California
whose office Is In the Tahoe House,
Virginia City, and Is intended al
reply to the assault made upon the
California Life Companies. The cir
culars are pretty generally circulated
about Virginia City and Gold Hill
and people who may feel interested
should obtain one.)

LONDON, September THE cholera
epidemic in the Baltic Provinces and
Prussia begins to abate. At Konigs-
berg, where the disease has been most
yirulent, there were forty new cases
and twenty-eight deaths, Oh the fourth,
and on the fifth only seventeen new
cases and fifteen deaths. There has
been but one fatal case at Stettin, and. at
Dantzic the disease is only spasmodic.
The few cases of cholera that have &C.
CURED at Paris and In this city are
now said to have been Of a different

anxiety which was felt in Berlin and
throughout Germany is decreasing and
it is confidently hoped that the precau-

cold weather, will stay the progress Of
the epidemic.

But what care ! for praise!
For my heart 10 nlled with the days OF yore
For The days Of Cd, tho days OF gold,
And the days Of Forty nine.
I'd comrades then who loved me well,
A joylal, saucy crew;
There were some nrd cases, I must confess.
But still they were brave and true.
Who'd never finch, whate'er the pinch, .
Would never fret or whine,
But like good old bricks. they stood the kicks
In the days Of Forty-nine.
There was Kentuck Bill, I knew him well,
A fellow 20 full Of tricks;
At poker game, be, was always thar,
And as heavy, too, As bricks;

And 60 o hatful blind;
But In q game with Death, Bill lost his breath,
In the days Of Folty.nine.
There was Monte Pete, III ne'er forget,
For the luck that he always had;
He'd deal for you both night and day,
Or as long a. you had . scad.
One night a pistol laid him out,

There was New York Jake, q butcher boy,

And whenever Jake got on o spree,
He was spelling for q fight.
One day he ran agin O knife,
In the hands Of old Bob Cline,
So over Jake we had O wake,

There was Rackensack Jim, who could outroar
A buffalo bull-you bet;
he roared all day, he roared all night,
And I believe he's roaring yet.
ON night he fell in q prospect hole
Twas q roaring bad design
For In that hole Jim roared out his soul,
In the days OF Forty.nine.
There was poor lame jess, . hard old case,
Who never would repent;

Nor he never paid . cont
But poor old Jess, like all the rest,
Did TO Death at last resign;
For in his bloom be went up the dums,
In the days Of Forty-nine.

LOVE Powders AND CoFFEE.--The
Assistant District Attorney Of Queens
county, Burnett, has been inyestigat-
ing for the past few days a most COM
plicated case, and which at one time
threatened to have q tragic ending.
A few days since a young man, a resi-
dent OF Whitestone, we'll and influen-
TALLY connected, presented himself ut
the office of the District Attorney,
Queens county, and stated that he was
the victim OF some plot, the object OF
which was to take his life that he
was being slowly poisoned, In fact,
was at the present time laboring under
the effects of a large dose OF some
noIious drug, which seemed to have
BEEN diffused through his entire Sys-
ten. The appearance Of the young
man did not belle his statement, for
evidently some powerful agency
seemed possessed Of his person. for he
wss shattered both In mind and body.
One of the prominent physicians oil

OClcTS, DuTll6IL Cdliou III O NSLOObhNS
and deputised him to take the Ease In
hand. Whom questioned as to who
hit suspicious connected with the sup.
posed crime be unhesitatingly named
a young girl living at the home Of his
parents. The girl In question has up
TO the present time borne the best
character, and Is considered Of a very
retiring disposition. The young man
In question asserts that the drug has
been administered In his coffee from
time to time at first 1t caused him
but little Inconvenience, but later II
has taken more control of him. and he
now fears that it will finally kill him.
He Is of opinion that the drug Is a
species Of love powders given him to
influence his affection. He says the
girl in question Ia In love with him,
but he does not rcciprocate the aftec-
ton. Tho matter Is exciting much
comment In the neighborhood where
the young man resides.-N. !. Star.
