Increased yield also aided to confirm the above

AMERICAN BUNooMBE.

The great American Eagle has scared
over into Austria, and at Vienna, on the
last Fourth of July. shone respondent
in his gilded wings and bright colored
feathers. Everybody says the American
exposition was a failure in everything
except an array OF nothingness; but who
shall dare pronounce anything failure
when our representatives have an OPP
portunity of rehashing some of the
old, time-worn, patriotic, American flag
speeches, away over among the monar-
chial heads Of Europe Minister Jay
made u speech; DIR. Chaplin "slung
prayer, and other lesser lights filled
themselves with champagne and hur-
. rahed for the Fourth What more could
we desire than this What matters it if
our industrial and mechanical depart
ments were not represented, or a knowl-
edge of our advancement in arts and let
ters given to outside barbarians, as long
as our Star Spangled Banner was swung
and three cheers given for buncombe
speeches We are told that - His In
perial, Royal and Apostolic Highness "
was represented by Baron Max Won Ga

by the sample given them of a celebra-

exposition OF national arts and sciences
had been neglected, than JOY at lot of
oyergrown boys making us ridiculous in
the eyes OF foreigners.

HUNe.-Charles A. Russell, sentenced
to be hung for the murder of James
Crotty, suffered the penalty of the law
in San Francisco on the 25th nit. The
report in the Chronicle describe him as
having met his fate with fortitude.
Many friends clung to him until the last
moment, among whom were several Ia
diea. Principal among his religious ad-
visers was Dir. Carpenter, who, after the
final act while Russell's body was hang
ing in mid-air, denounced the hanging
as cold-blooded murder" 1t is said
the reverend gentleman has the confes-
sion of Russell, written the night previ-
Gus to the execution, in his possession,
and that many new facts will be ELECTED
by its publication.

DowEN-BEEoHER ScANDAL.-For many
months the public mind has been agitated
in the matter of the scandal published
by the Woodruff -Clafin sisters, and va
rious opinions have been expressed, pro
and con, regarding the truth contained
in the statements OF one thing We are
convinced, that it would have been much
better for Mr. Beecher, if innocent, to
have proclaimed that fact to the world at
an earlier day, and not permitted asser-
tions to remain unanswered which could
only prove damaging to his character.
No man IS above reproach or suspicion,
and, as it is well known fact, that men
are prone TO believe evil rather than
good, it becomes Mr.. Beecher to clear
his skirts of base insinuations at as early
a day as possible, if in his power to do SO.
SAD AFFLIcTIoN.-Somet time ago our
old friend Hank Bidleman, County Re-
corder of Lander county, was stricken
down with an attack of paralysis, from
the effects of which, it is feared, he is
not likely ever to recover. From the
RereiHe we understand that he was con-
veyed to the railroad from Austin in
light wagon, whence he goes to San
Francisco, to seek what relief he may.
We are heartily sorry for geuiai, whole
souled Hank, and could our sympathy
aid his recovery he would be around rs
spry as an acrobat.

THE sHAH's HABITS.

George w. Smalley writes from Lon
don to the New York Tribune, as follows /:
Next TO the grass and trees, or perhaps
before, the women OF England have had
the honor to interest the Shah. Re-
garding them naturally from the Orien-
tai point Of view, his Majesty has made
number Of remarks which will scarcely
bear repetition in print. The prevailing
fashion of dress has given him abundant
opportunity to compare their attractions
with those of his own harem For three
he is reported to have offered 100000,
with the option of cancelling the bargain
trial, they disliked Persia. One of the
three told me she was inclined to accept
If the money could be settled on herself,
and if she could feel sure about getting
back. But think no bargain has been
closed.
AT Lady Granyille's party, at the
Foreign Office, ON Tuesday night, it
was an American lady-or, as some say,
two or three fair Americans-who had
the honor to attract this noble savage's
regard. At one or two dinners he has
found himself with a lady on each side
of him, and this is practice which he
declares himself unable to understand.
They, ON the other hand, have been en-
lightened by experience as to some Gus
toms which prevail in Persia but have
hitherto been unknown in England.
One lady, on rising from the table, found
her lap filled with morsels from the
royal plate, which, as she supposed, he
had found unpalatable, and quietly dis
posed of in this way. Another beheld
sundry viands from time to time during
dinner transferred from the Shah's plate
to her own. There is even a story that
he. took such 4 violent dislike to spinach
when 1t was served to him for the first
time, that he elected it from his mouth
on to the plate of his neighbor. But to
all these, as to most of the other stories,
there is another side. The charitable
and well-informed explain that these
contributions were ment as marks of
royal favor, and were in the height of
good breeding, since among the Orientals
it is the custom to bestow on guest the
choicest morsels from the hosts portion,
and king always stands in the relation
of host to everybody else.

Could NOT BE FoUsD.-When the ap-
pointed day arrived ON which the muir
derer Russell was to be hung, his friends
who were many, from all accounts, tele-
graphed Governor Booth, who was rus
ticating at Lake Tahoe, requesting him
to grant reprieye. But the worthy
Governor. either because he did not de-
sire to be found or was really out OF
reach, sent no answer to the urgent
messages. The Sacramento Record
claims that Booth absolutely ran away
from the messengers sent in quest OF
him, and absented himself purposely
from their solicitations. We are sorry
that the Governor OF California, gentle
man, who possessed the confidence of
his party in an eminent degree before
his election to the high Office he now
holds, should prove so incapable of exer-
sising that moral courage and steadiness
Ii. purpose SO requisite in an officer hold
- fhe pardoning power in his hands.
1t would have looked decidedly better
had the Governor met the messengers
fairly, and answered their request in a
decided and unmistakable manner Such
indecision seems to be part of the gem
tleman's character, having made its ap-
pearance once before in the case of Don
avan sentenced to be hung. We regard
such qualms of conscience or such
tender-hearted ways of melting ont JUS
tice to real offenders as bad attribute
for leader OF the people.
