An AstsnIshed Dnrkey.

[From.tho 8. +. Bulletin OF Tuesday,
Underneath the windows of a certain
office In this city a darkey keeps o boot
black stand. He Is a musical darkey-
or thinks he is-which amounts tc the
same thing for all practical purposes,
He has a whistle ; 1t fell to him by III
h~eritance. He Is proud OF 1t, and uses
It constantly. He daily practices ON
all the tunes known to the musical
world Of the darkey, and his whistle
resounds long and loud, penetrating
the classic precincts Of the aforesaid
aforementioned. Singular to relate,
the same office Is afflicted with another
musical instrument, In the shape Of q
Thomas cat, which renders day hideous.
Yesterday Thomas and the darkey sang
a duet. Each appeared to be In bliss
full ignorance OF the others effort.
But the workers In the office could not
close their ears to tho sounds. They
did not object to one ut a time, but the
two did not chord. They evidently
needed TO be made acquainted with
each other. An Introduction was
effected, and Thomas landed from the
window above square on the darkey's
woolly head. The wool and tho fur
flew in all directions. Thomas went
one way and Pompey went another,
while each did an amount Of swearing
Ia their own peculiar style, for which
they will doubtless be held to strict
account hereafter. There are no more
duets 10 that nelghborhood.

Story Of tho Blockade.

A correspondent tells the following
romantic tale of the recent Pacific
Railway snow blockade
A mar In Denver married, but had
to leave Immediately and Unexpectedly
for Salt Lake City on urgent business.
He left his bride with tears In his eyes
and q promise of immediate return
upon his lips. He got there just in
time not TO be able to get away. He
made his way slowly along with the
blockaded trains, working with the
hands, for every shovelful Of snow got
out was that much obstruction removed
between him and his beloved. When
within two hundred miles Of Cheyenne
the foremost train ran into a bigger
snow-bank than ever, at which the
faithfll-unto-death struck out afoot and
walked the two hundred miles In five
days. He came In with frozen feet
and ears, but his heart was all right,
and he went on his way rejoicing. At
one place he was chased by wolves,
and lost his plug hat In running. The
hat saved his life, for the wolves had
never Q one before, and stopped to
examine it for a long time. 1t took 80
long to determine what 1t was that our
heroic lover got out Of reach. He bor-
rowed a red handkerchief at a laborer's
hut, and passed on.

A sonp .uine.
From the Pueblo (Colorado) chieftain.l

From the Pueblo (Colorado) chletain.1
The other day one Of our prominent
citizens rode out to and up the Foun-
tain three or four miles On a prospect
ing tour, and at a certain point near
the banks Of the stream noticed some
rocks of peculiar formation. Instlgated
by that curiosity so fatal on a certain
momentous occasion to old mother
Eve, he broke of a piece and taking 1t
to the creek, plunged 1t into the water
tor the purpose of a~scertaining the con-
sistency and grain. Upon taking it
out of his hands, what was his surprise
to see a lather formed, aud with o Wig
orous rubbing the stone proved to have
saponaceous qualities, In fact possessed
ali the cleansing virtues Of the most
excellent soap. Greatly surprised, not
a little mystified with the profound
conviction wlthal that he had found .
big thing, our discoverer hastily gath
cred up a few specimens and brought
the same to the drug store Of Dr.. P. r.
Thombs, where 1t Is now on exhibition
and can be inspected and tested by the
curious. The stone Is Of dun color,
about the hardness Of chalk, and forms
a very perfect lather, while 1t effectu-
ally removes all stains and grease spots
from clothing. We have tried the soap
personally, and must pronounce It q
success. After washing, 1t leaves the
the skin rs soft and smooth as that Of
a new born babe, while the odor Is
quito pleasant. 1t is certainly a re-
markable discovery,a and the only query
now Is. .'What next?" A country that
can produce mountains of gold and sill
yer, narrow-gauge mules, tarantulas.
flea-bltten dogs and mines Of soap to
wash the whole with, must be capable
OF producing almost any wonder.

Tho Ru,.Iaa Count Again.

From the Springfield Qdass.) Republican,
Mickiewicz, the Russian Count
who created such q sensation in Am.
herst, n little more than a year ago, by
his romantic attempt to marry Mis-;
Caroline Lester. the rich ann beautiful
niece Of Prof. Tyler, has been quietly
stopping for some days at the Massa.
soft House, In this city. It will be
remembered that Miss Lester was
ready to wed him at that time, but her
friends, believing that Mickiewicz's
character was not what 1t should be,
induced a postponement of the nup-
tials, and that meantime the Count
was to 60 to Europe to obtain creden-
tials, which he declared would vindi-
cate him from all the aspersions cast
upon his good name. He went, and 1t
Is rumored has now returned to claim
his bride. Gossip further saith that
Miss Testers affection for her Russian
lover is undlminished, and that she has
visited him at the Massasoit during his
stay here.

THERE Is much bad blood between
tho Americans and English in Paris
growing out Of the disputes between
their respective countries. A stalwart
American from the South, with an
English friend and two women, had a
private box at the last opera ball.
During the progress Of the festivities
the two travellers got into a dispute
over the Alabama claims, and finally,
to the dlsmay of their fair companions,
proposed to begin the war there at
once. Early In the combat the Amer
lean dealt his antagonist a terrible
blow, which dlslocatsd his shoulder.
Tho women shrieked, the guards burst

turned master of the field and Of both
the ladies. But, perhaps, the stranges'
part of the story Is yet to be told. The
American champion Is not only a ma

most violent Of secessionists. He
seems to DO pretty we'll reconstructed
and the same may be said Of most o.
tho ex-rebels now in Paris.

WE find In the Cincinnati Commercial
q droll story Of an indefatigable old
gentleman from kentucky who recent
" visited n faro bank in that city. He
reminds us somewhat Of the Pluto
warriors of this section, or the Chinese
when they recklessly 'tgo through" at
draw poker or some other favorlte
game. Fortune frownsd upon this old
sport, and very soon his pockets were
empty. He offered to stake his pistols
but the establishment declined. Then
he took out his gold-mounted teeth
sent them to a pawnbroker, received
$40, and lost them. Out he went, and
pawncd his o~vercoat, returned with q
few dollars and lost again. The un,
dercoat followed Its companion, and
vest aud cravat went to keep them
company. He was then adjudged
complete bankrupt and assigned to
prominent seat among the high play
ers of former times. He went out oil
that house, in the dim light of dawn, a
toothless wreck.

The Hebrew people, from time i'm

the anniversary Of the great contest
between the mighty hosts Of Moses
and Joshua on the one hand, and the
forces Of Amelek OF the other, which
took place on the plains Of Persia
and resulted in the triumph OF the
children Of Israel. The history OF
this famous battle is recorded in the
Book Of Esther. In Holy Writ. This
event has been held by the descendants
of the Israelites IS Of great import

SAD INCIDENT.
A Ysung Girl Drowned = The Body
Recovered.

H
The Marysville STANDARD Of March
ed records this sad incident:
A most unfortunate and fatal acci-
dent happened near Simpson bridge,
on the east side of the Yuba river, yes
terday afternoon, at B o'clock. we
learn that the children OF Il. +. Shell.
ton were wading along the margin OF
the river, when the Oldest, a daughter
named Alice, ventured too far out into
the river and was swept oil into deep
| water and drowned. The other chill
dren gave the alarm. and Shelton mr.
| rived Mt the bank Just in time to see
his child swept behind q building and
out of sight-the child's hands being
extended above the water rs she disap-
peared from view. Search was made
down the river, but no trace Oh the
body was discovered at dark last even
ing. Search will be resumed this
morning. Alice was the eldest OF
Shelton's children, being nearly eight
years of age.
The M~arysville appeal Of the 26th
Instant thus gives the sequel:
The body of Ella, daughter of E. w.
Shelton, drowned In the Yuba, near
Simpsons bridge, last Thursday, was
recovered on Sunday, about 2 o'clock
P. NJ. A Kanaka and companion from
Colusa were employed to attempt the
almost hopeless task Of finding the
body. The place Of the accident was
pointed out to the man, who, alter
consulting the currents, came 70 the
conclusion that tile body was In a
whirlpool ut the east end Of the bridge.
Accordingly one Of them dove down,
and in accordance with his expecta-
tions, the body OF little Ella was found
lying on the bottom. A rope was
passed around the body and 1t was
brought to the surface. The reward
Of 800 offered was paid them for their
hazardous labors.

o suss1sTEgcE.

Living in Colorado Is generally re-
carded as rather an expensive business,
1t being popularity supposed that the
mode Of buying provisions In that
aurlferous land is to but the beef, flour
or whatever article it may be designed
to purchase, In M scale and weigh
the other with gold dust until a bal
ance is struck by no means to the adj
vantage of the buyer. The Denver
Neus of a recent date shows that this,
like many other popular beliefs, Is to-
tally erroneous indeed, that II there
there Is any difference betweenthe two
sections In the cost Of provisions, 1t Is
in favor of the West, rather than of
the East. AS an evidence that Its as
sertion Is not mere talk, the Ne9s pre-
sents q tabular statement Of market
prices in Boston and in Denver, from
which it appears that In the latter
city beef sells for about half the price
which 1t commands in the former ;
that fish, poultry, vegetables, and
dairy produce stand at about equal
prices in both cities, while game in
Denver sells for three-fourths less than
it does in Boston. Breadstuffs are not
alluded to In the Denver paper, posi-
bly, because in price they would not
compare so favorably as do the other
articles named with prices in the East
ern markets. This, however, Is mere
conjecture. Altogether the Ne,es ap.
pears to have made out a good case as
regards cheap living in Colorado-at
least so far rs regards the city Of Den
yer, 1t it Is admitted that tho schedule
of prices presented does not apply To
the smaller towns and villages Of the
Territory-and the exhibit will doubt
less have the effect Of doing away with
