FROG CIRCUS,

From the Sacramento Union Of yesterday
Mine host Guinean, Of the Arcade
Hotel, has been for 4 long time the
happy posseSsor ola big bullfrog, which
he Keeps in Il large glass globe upon
the counter In his saloon. His frogship
is said to be n perfect barometer. able
to indicate changes Of the weather, es-
pecially. In Winter. a friend of GUM
cans seeing his fancy for such pets,
presented him n day or two ago with
Il handsome and lively little frog,
whose body was say an inch aud a half
long. This little fellow the donor and
his wife had kept for many months
and taught suudry queer tricks, i'll
Guiding exercises upon n ladder. and a
sort OF trapeze. On the day the pre-
s~entation was made, Guinean, after
watching the frogs gymnastics, coll
cluded to put him in n larger recep-
tacle than that he inhabited, and de-
cided that he should share the large
globe with the LuilfroS. Accordingly
he was transferred, together with his
ladder and trapeze, and seemed to like
his new quarters. His former master,
concluding 10 make him show his tents
Of agility once more, was directing his
movements by means OF a straw, and
was so successful that the frog was
hanging by II foot from the trapcze,
when there was q sudden disturbance

gramme, and In a fraction Of 4 second
the gymnast was exploring the interior
Of the bullfrog's stomach-the latter
having lmbi5ed him, leaving nothing
but n toe sticking out. a frantic effort
was made by the owner OF the "circus"
to recover it by following up this lead.
but the big frog, evidently understand

the toe also, and the catastrophe was
complete.

FATAL MINING ACCIDENT AT ISYe.

From the Inyo Independent, July 6th.l
On Wednesday last, the ID instant,
there occurred a cave In tue Buena
Suerte mine. near Belmont. Cerro
Gordo. which resulted In the death OF
Samuel w. Steele. The unfortunate
victim Of the accident was working
alone, engaged IN making a raise from
an old DRIFT In the upper portion Of the
mine. 1t Ia supposed that he had
knocked out an old timber for the pur-
pose Of replacing 1t. and while 50 do
ing a quantity Of rock, dirt and timber
caved down, burying him beneath.
DIR. Gould, working some distance
away. heard the mans cries, but sup
posed he was singing, as was his habit
while ut work. However, Gould went
to the place and found the man covered
up as described, groaning; the Doctor
went frantically at work to remove
the debris, at the same time calling for
assistance from the other miners. The
poor man vas once heard to groan,
with q choking breath, that he was
getting very weak. Every possible
effort was made to rescue him, but be-
fore he was finally extricated life had
fled. Steele was a very quiet, Indus
tiious man. having lost from all causes
but five days work during the year
which he has been IN Cerro Gordo. He
leaves a wife and three children, now
living at Santa Barbara, and we think
u couple of brothers at Virginia, New.
On the following day Coroner Lank
held an inquest over the remains, the
jury returning q verdict Of "death by
suffocation In a cave In the Buena Su-
eric mine" This accident, which we
believe Is the first fatal one Of the kind
In Cerro Gordo, caused the death Of a
man Of whom the community Will
greatly feel the loss.

Hunps11,s TRUE sTArzxEN1.

Hubbell has made 40 many state
ments relative to the Yellow Jacket
fire, that we. rs we'll as others, have
got them mixed. We understood that
the only one which he claims to be
true, Is that made BY him originally to
Col. Hoge in San Francisco. and which
he was willing to swear to and sign
for so, 900, but it appears that he sub
sequently made another which he now
says is the only true one. The Vir-
ginia Chronicle Of last evening, referr-
ing to the matter says:
Unless Hubbell was acting in good
faith in making that statement, and Is
so acting now, We hnve no hesita-
ton in saying lie Is In a hobble. We
think that the statement, written, SUBJ
scribed and sworn to, Is now in this city,
but Of this We are not certain; and wo
are equally we'll satisfied that Hub
bell will not get his eyes upon it until
he has made a clean breast before the
Grand Jury or the District Court,
when the "only true statement may
be introduced. by way Of i%nstituting a
comparison. We think that this state
ment Is his igaus .tatuus, from the fact
that he Gems to distrust his ability
to make another like 1t. Dis
trict Attorney Woodburn must be
getting at tangible facts. for he has
been closeted with Hubbell for two
days, and yesterday another witness
probably called in at Hu6bell's sug-
g~estion) was before that officer for some
hours. The whole matter may now be
said to be before the Courts, and rs tho
plot is thickeuing we look for a thor
Ough investigation Of the case and a
settlement that will be final.
The Chronicle will soon come to the
same conclusion that We did long ago,
that there Is r vast amount of humbng
In this affair. aud that the "~thickeninG
plot" after Thorough Investigation
and "tinal settlement" will be found
to have nothing IN 1t. Jim O'Donnell,
who first started on track OF the
alleged important Information, was
grossly deceived; Mr.. Sharon was con-
s~equcntly grossly deceived; Hubbell
was himself grossly deceived in the
sources OF his own Information, and
the whole affair from beginning to end
savors of sensation and humbug. An
Interview with Hubbell himself con.
firms us In this opinion, aud We hare
no further remarks to offer until Hub.
BELLS "true " statement shall be pub.
lished.

A new stimulant has been invented
In England, and Its growing use is ex-
citing considerable alarm. Tho stun
consists Of n mixture Of naptha and
ether. and it produces a kind OF intox-

agreeable. No check can b. u on
the consumption OF the vile fluid, TOR
the reason that it IS not sold under the
name OF any excisable spirit, and ap-
parently an act of Parliament will
have to be devised to meet the diti-
Guilty. We have heard before Of people
SIMPLIFYING themselves with cologne

REBELLIoUS.

The Reese River Rereiile OF Monday,

has he now, except for its votes and

Dental chair. The Rereiie editor COLI
