was really the property of the govern
ment, suit could be brought against
Mr.. Morris for it's value, but to pursue
this trial any further was an act of the
baldest injustice. | therefore recon-
mended to the District Attorney to
enter nolle pros. The District At
torney rose and said that he was salts
fed of the innocence of the defendants.
and that he held in his hand the papers
of the treasury department which ac-
quilted the defendants beyond the
shadow of doubt, and that he was
glad that the defendants had been
indicated by the courts of the coun-
try. The District Attorney entered
a nolte pros, and the court adjourned.

LEVI JONES, Clerk.
IF the charges now made by Mr.. Car
ter against Governor Warmoth are as
destitute of foundation as the one in
simulated by him, as above copied, he
must have very weak case. For the
people of Texas happen to know that
the alleged embezzlement of public
money in the cotton case was myth,
and the prosecution of Messrs. War
moth and Morris was found in feeling
of personal spite, and terminated in
the triumph of the defendants and the
discontinue of the prosecutors. If
Governor Warmoth has done nothing
since 1867 that his enemies can take
hold of to injure him, so that they are
compelled to exhume this old exploded
charge of enlightenment, he may be
ranked among the purest men of the
age. And when the strongest points
urged against him are so frivolous as
this, we naturally presume that the
minor charges are scarcely entitled to
consideration.

Theatrical AnecdOte.

When Stephen Kemble was mana
ger in Newcastle, Eng, and the houses
were rather fiat, no less a parsonage
arrived in town than the Prince An
namboo, who offered his services for a
very moderate consideration. Accord
ingly the bills of the day annonced
that between the acts of the play,
Prince Annamboo would give lively
representation of the scalpings opera
ton; he would also give the Indian
war-whoop, in all its various tones,
the tomahawk exercise and mode
of feasting at an Abyssinian ban
qnet." The evening arrived, and many
people attended to witness these
princely limitations. At the end of the
third act his highness walked forward,
with dinitied step, fiourshing his toma-
hawk, and cut the air, exclaiming =
Ha ha-ho ho!n Next entered a
man with his face blackened and a
piece of bladder fastened to his head
with gum; the prince, with large
carving knife, commenced the scalping
operation, which he performed in a
style truly imperial, holding up the
skin in token of triumph. Next came
the war-whoop, which was combina-
ton of dreadful and discordant sounds
lastly, the Abyssnian banquet, eonsis-
ting of raw beefsteaks these he made
into rolls, as large as his mouth would
admit, and devoured them in prince
ly and dignifed manner. Having
completed his cannibal repast, he
fourished his tomahawk, exclaiming :
=" Ha halo ho!" and made his
exit. Next day, in the middle of the
market place, Kemble espied the puis-
SAINT prince of Annamboo selling pen
knives, scissors and quilts, in the char
acter u Jew pedlar. What!" said
Kemble, my prince, is that you

NeVada's Way.

BayaGd Taylor, in letter to the N.
Y. Ifibuae from Nevada, says:
In walking out with friend this
morning, came across a long beam
projecting from the gable of a house
directly over a deep ravine There
was slight platform under it and a
rope dangling from its end.
What fearful place this is for a
swing" 1 said.
eyes, soft isl said my friend, "and
a man took a fearful swing there not
four months ago."
!4How was that" said 1.
"Why, thus it was: A man shot
another in cold blood. He was ar
rested, tried, convicted, and sentenced
to be hung. He was known to be a
desperate vagabond, and an ineendi-
airy, and suspicious of many dark
deeds were upon him. His chances of
escape through executive clemency or
legal technicalities were considered by
many of our best citizens, who, on the
whole, concluded to make sure thing
OF it. They therefore went in body
to the Jail, escorted the prisoner to
this spot, and, after solemn presen-
tation of the facts in the case, they
told him to prepare for death, and adj
Justed the rope around his neck. No
sooner was the knot secure than he
swore a California oatffthat no coward
should have the glory of choking him
to death, and leaped down the chasm.
He came to the end of the rope before
he did to the bottom of the chasm, so
choked to death at last"
This little incident is scarcely wor-
thy OF mention, it being an affair of
such common occurrence here, but, as
one of the ordinary phenomena of a
mining country, have not felt at lib
erty to omit it.

You saw that half the time l watched
The clock upon the shelf:
oh, Nellie how l wished you might
See how it was yourself.
] wanted SO to tell you
What I've waited long to say,
But heart and spirit failed me,
My courage died away.
Now, Nellie, only listen
You roguish little elf i
I'm sure you'd pity me, at least,
Ii you knew how it was yourself.
Excuse me, Nellie, darling,
I've loved you long and well,
Then let me keep this little hand,
Nor all my hopes dispel;
I've loved you more than all the world
Can give of power or pelf-
But words are weak when hearts would speak
g You know It's yourself"
Her lips but family quivering,
Her shy glance upward thrown

the great masses of people. There are few
