lowing special despatch:
Private dispatches from Monterey.
dated 1st inst, have been received here,
containing the ne Es that Gen. Rocha, at
the head Of his whole army, is preparing
to take the field against the revolution
ary forces commanded by Generals Ire
vino and Quiroga. who refuse to accept
the amnesty profered by the existing
Government, but on the contrary, have
announced their intention to oppose
Lerdo de Tejada and his Cabinet in fa-
vor of Gen. Porfirio Diaz, whom they
want to raise to the Presidency of the re-
public.
Reliable information has also been re-
ceived from Tuls, in the State OF Tam
aulipas, confirming the former news from
that place, to the effect that it is still In
the possession of revolutionary party,
who exact large sums Of money from per
sons passing through it. In fact, these
brigands capture them and then force
them to buy their liberty at any ransom
they choose to impose. There is no i'm
mediate prospect of change for the bet

4th, having been broken up. another
meeting Immediately convened at the
Liberal Institute. Armed guards were
plnced at the doors and some of the
Mormon mob. while attempting to en-
ter, were roughly handled. Several got

thrown out of the window. Stones
were thrown through the windows. and
glass was broken, but the speakers;
proceeded with their remarks. and the
meeting was brought to close with
music aud singing, amid wild enthusi-
asm. All non-M Mormors. and in some
instances Mormons, condemn the out.
rage as of the grossest character. and o
disgrace to the whole country. It is the
exciting topic of conversation, and oc-
casions more bad feeling than has been
known here am ong the Liberals for yeurs.
The Salt Lake Tribune will make call
for troops to protect the polls.

Enquirer, from Richmond, Ind, says a
colored man named Davis addressed an
audience in that city, on Thursday Of
last week, in favor of Greeley and the
Liberals. On leaving the hall, some one
asked him if he had made q Greeley
speech. He replied that he had, and
pissed on home. A crowd of whites and
blacks, led by notorious ruffian, fol.
lowed him home, and commenced ston-
ing the house. Davis hid himself, and
his wife went out and told the crowd
that he had gone. About this time, the
mob learned that the police were COM

morning, Davis was informed that if he
was inside the city limits at 6 o'clock,
they would hang him to lamp. post.
He left town for fear of his life.

Tea Of Great Value.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

from the San FRANCISCO chronicle.
The greatest dainty that the palate
of Chinese Graves IS fan chow. the
flower of tea. A Chronicle man had
the opportunity, few days ago, to sip
the Imperial tea-bloom, the priceless
beverage of Celestial extravaganza.
Learning that the enterprising firm OF
Castle Bros, 213 and 215 Front street,
had samples of very rare tea, he visited
the counting room Of that firm, was
shown the samples, and directed to
Tuck ChOng & Co., Chinese wholesale
merchants, at 739 Sacramento street,
for information. Tuck ChoDg, an ur-
bane Chinese, received the reporter
kind :, listened to his request to be
shown the Imperial leaf, and brought
IN tine priceless luxury in a small and
highly ornamented box of sandal-wood.
The slide-lid was pulled out. and SIX
alternate layers of perfumed rice-paper
and silk were carefully lifted.
Beneath all this covering was gild-
ed square piece of sandal-wocd. This
also was lifted, and the tea-blossom
was displayed. Rolled in balls, twist
ed into tiny, fame-shaped rolls an inch
long, twisted very small, tied in little
lunches, like cigarettes at one end,
and whipped into shreds at the other,
was the tea flower, packed in loose
petals of it's own kind, to preserve it's
fragrance. "This," said Tuck Chong,
"is tea that only Mandarins of high
est rank ever get chance to drink in
China. 1t is grown on the plantation
of very rich Mandarin in the province
of Foo Chow, and can only be gotten
from him, or his agent, in Pekin. There
was once law forbidding its export,
but even an American can now buy and
drink 1t. 1t costs $3.50 in China My
brother brought back few pounds on
his last visit to China. l have none
for sale, but 1t could not be sold in
San Francisco for less than $4,000 a
pound"

steps toward the door; he then chang
ed his intention, and took the crucifix
with him. HIS wife trembled with de-
light.
He is going to DuvivIer," she
thought
As soon as her husband had gone out,
Madame de Merret rang for Resale,
and then in wild voice:
1.-The pickax! the plckax !" she cried,
"and to work saw yesterday how
Gorenhot set about it; we shall have
time to make an outlet and block it up
again."l
In an instant Rosalie brought kind
of chopper to her mistress, who, with
inconceivable energy, undertook the
task OF pulling down the wall. She
had already displaced some of the
bricks, when, just as she vas gathering
her strength to apply yet mere vigor-
GUS blow, she saw M. de Merret be-
hind her. She tainted.
Place madame upon her bed," he
said coldly.
Forseelng what would probably hap
pen during his absence, he had set a
trap for his wife. He had simply
written to the marie, and sent mes
senger for Duvivier. The jeweler ar,
rived just after order had been restor-
ed in the room.
"Duvivier," asked M. de Merret,
"you bought some cruc,fxes from the
Spaniards who passed through Ven.
dome, did youn 't?"
"No, monsieur.
"Thank you, that will do, he said,
darting tiger-like look at his wife.
"Jean," he added, turning to his con
fidential servant, "you will let me
have my meals in Madame de Merret's
room; she is not well, and I will not
leave her until she has recovered"
The cruel husband remained twenty
days with his wife. At first, when aw-
full sounds came from behind the bar
ricade, and Josephine made as if she
would implore for the stranger dying
there, he would not allow her to utter
single word, but always said:
You have sworn upon the crucifix
that there is no one there"

A TERRIBLE VENGEANCE.

have it down in my register, and you
can see it if you like. All he was a
handsome young man for Spaniard
they say they are all plain looking.
He was only five feet two or three
inches in height, but he was well
made; he had small hands, and he
took great care of care of them-oh !
yon should have seen. He had MANY
bruAhes for his hands as a woman has
for her whole toilet. He had long
black hair, aud his eyes were as bright
as fire; his skin was slightly copper
eolored. but I admired him ali the

was uneasy when I saw that he did
not come home till midnight; but we
got accustomed to his within. He took
the door ky with him, and we paid no
more attention to him. He was lodg-
ing with us in the house we had then
IN the Rue DIES Casernes. Then one of
the grooms told us that one evening.
when he went to wash the horses In the
river, he thought he saw our Spanish
grandee swimming at distance inst
like fish. When he returned, 1 told
HIM to take care of the weeds, and he
didn't seem to like the idea of having
been seen in the water. Finally, mon
sieur, one day-or, rather one morning
we did not find him in his chamber:
he did not come back at all. I search
ed everywhere, and found something
written on a piece of paper in his
table draw, in which there was also
fifty GOLDEN Spanish coins, called Por.
t01Nts, worth about five thousand
francs. There were besides some dla-
monds, of the value of ten Thousand
francs, In little sealed box. The
writing was to the effect that in case
he should not return he left his money
and diamonds for masses to thank God
for his escape, and to pray for his
safety.
cat that time my husband was still
alive, and he went off to search for
him-and this is the queerest part of
the story. My husband brought back
the Spaniard's clothes, which he had
found under big stone on the bank of
the river, near the chateau. and almost
opposite La Grande Breteche. He had
gone there SO early in the morning that
no one had seen him, and when lie had
read the letter, he burned the clothes,
and we declared, as Count Feredia
wished, that he had escaped. The
soits-Dretet put all gendarmes on the
alert, but they never caught him. Lep-
as thought the Spaniard was drowned.
But |, monsieur, am a different opin-
ion; l am inclined to believe that he
had something to do with Madame

The Surrender.

NV
The New Orleans Picayune prints
pretty poem, with a'singular title, b.
I" Pearl Rivers"
King Day and his court has grown weary,
The gates OF the castle are barred,
And Sunset, the Warden, is keeping
careless and drowsy guard.
The purple and golden banners
That foated in gorgeous array
From the tops of the Western towers,
Are furled and faded away.
And over the silvery turrets,
And over the roseate walls,
And the ancient golden drawbridge,
The shadow of Twilight falls.
And as il grows deeper, the Warden
Abaneons the Western height,
Aud the beautiful Castle of Daylight
Surrenders itself to Night.
No fo0tstep is heard on the terrace
Or stair and the banqueting hall,
Where the King held his riotous wassail,
Is silenter now than all.
The tongue Of Contention is palsied,
The anvil of labor is dumb,
And Clamor has grown too feeble
To rattle his noisy drum.
Below from the spacious courtyard
There comes neither stir nor tone;
The King in the royal chamber
Has fallen to sleep on his throne.
His light, golden crown of sunbeams
Has melted away from his head.
And his brow bent heavily downward
Seems crowned with crown of cad.
His sceptre OF Light has faded
And slipped from his open hand
Vainly in dreams he mutters
Some Idle and vague command.
For his ministers, Thought and Action,
From morning till even-tide
His busy and royal subjects,
Sleep heavily by his side.
And his gray-bearded secretary,
That very old servant, Lord Care,
With the wrinkles and STOPPING shoulders,
Mods peacefully in his chair.
The whole of the court is sleeping
Even the favorite fool,
Poor Folly, SHORES loud and soundly,
His head on the Kings footstool.
No sound but of heavy breathing
Is heard through the stately ROOM
From basement to tower the castle
Us wrapped in a slumberous gloom.
And the eyes of my muse grow drowsy,
The hrs of my muse grow mute,
And the heart of my muse is dreaming
Over the slumbering lutte.
