An Old-FashiOned Brigand.

Brigands of the old-fashioned type are fast dying out, but some very fine spec imens of the romantic sort are still to be found in Corsica. A correspondent of the Paris Temps mentions that, besides some thirty-four very doubtful charac- ters, who systematically slude the po- lice of the island; there are three indi- viduals, named Germani, Suzzoni and Alberti, about whom very sensational legends are told. The exploits of these brigands are, however, mere child's play compared to those of Suzzon's pre- decessor, the famous Santaluccia. He was perhaps the last of the old race, and was power in Corsica some thirty years ago. He took to the woods in consequence of what happened to one of his brothers, who was convicted on the evidence of false witnesse, and sent to the hulks. Santaluccia gave himself no rest until he had got those men into his power. The first of these he tied to tree and addressed as follows:
 "Yours is & lying tongue; you are about to lose it." which assertion he in- stantly made good. To the next he said: You have declared that your eyes be- held that which they have not seen; you are going to lose your eyes, To the third he said: You have sworn that your ears heard what they had not heard; you will lose your ears." He then tore out the eyes of one and cut of the ears of the other.

OkeefenOkee Swamp

Active preparations are in progress to drain the great Okeefenokee swamp in Southern Georgia. The largest (counting Florida out of the question:, in this part of the world, is now being attacked in earnest, and 8 chartered company propose to see if it cannot be made valuable for something besides bears, coons, wild turkeys and snakes. The swamp which extends down into the upper border of Florida, is thickly timbered morass, nearly two hundred miles in circumference---nearly twice as large as the Dismal Swamp---and it's ornithological population, which in- cludes some strange voiced birds ap- parently peculiar to that particular do main, is only paralled by its endless variety of snakes and alligators. The preliminary work of draining the swamp required an experiment to show the nature of the ground beneath it and 8 shaft or tunnel, sunk at the border of the morass, has disclosed curiously enough the existence at the depth of two hundred feet, of bed of genuine bituminous coal. Its extent, as well as the comparative value of the coal, re- mains to be determined. The most ob- vious facts in geology will readily ez- plain, not only the existence of coal in such 8 place, but the (probable) fact that the bed is large one. Other geo. logical facts of some interest are said to have been developed by this shaft, enc being stratum of rock of the 6lu- rian age,

Inc Uhaiiiipion Numismatist.

It may not be generally known that Dr. Charles Spier of this place is the oldest living and most successful numis- matist in the world. He has been en- gagged in the collection of coins for over fifty-seten yeaFs, and has now over AGOO pieces, representing ever species of coin ever produced in any year, or under the dominion of any sovereign or government, from the days of Semiramis and the Pharoahs down to the present time. His collection is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. He has over 10000 of his pieces in the vaults of the Bank of California, and 1000, or over, here. At the Bank of California his collection is pronounced the best and most valuable in exist ence, not except ing those of Queen Victoria and the sultan of Turkey, which are particular ly extensive and valuable. A few days ago we examined the 4,0O0 of his pieces which he keeps here. They proved a most interesting study. Coins of the ancient Jewish Kingdom, of the various kings, consuls and emperors of Rome, of Tyre, Sidon, Carthage, Nineveh, Babylon, China, Palmyra, Egypt, Japan, etc., with specimens of every years coinage in all Christian lands from the time of Constantine till now, were exhibited in prodigal profusion. The doctor has many coins which would sell for many thousands of dollars each. His collection has been the work of a very extended lifetime. He has travel led nearly all over the world, and is constantly receiving new additions to his pieces from Europe and the East. He has gold and silver coins from the size of 8 very large teacup, down to that of pea. We wish we had the space to particularly describe some of them. The doctor, who is in easy circum- stances and greatly advanced in years, though still robust for one of his age, remains in Visaila on account of the ex- cellence of the climate. His collection is very interesting to any one apprecia- ting the mementoes of antiquity Visalia (Cal.) Delta.

An African Man of Business.

Soor Hadji Palloo was smart young man of business---energetic, quick at mental calculation, and seemed to be born for a successful salesman. His eyes were never idle, they wandered over every part of my person, over the tent, the bed, the guns, the clothes, and, having swung clear round, began the silent circle over again. Hiss fingers seemed never at rest, they hada fdgety, nervous action at their tips, constantly in the act of feeling something; while in the act of talking to me, he would lean over and feel the texture of the cloth of my trousers, my coat, or my shoes or socks; then he would feel his own light jamdani shirt or babwain loin- cloth, IEatil his eyes casually resting upon novelty, his body would lean for ward, and his arm was stretched out with the willing fingers. His jaws also were in perpetual motion, caused by the vile habit he had acquired of chewing betel-nut and lime, and sometimes tobacco and lime. They gave out a sound similar to that of a young shoat ill the act of sucking. He was pious Mohammedan, and observed the external courtesies and ceremonies of the true believers. He would afably greet me, take off his shoes enter my tent protest ing he was not fit to sit in my presence, and, after being seated, would begin his ever-crooked errand. Of honesty, literal and practical honesty, this youth knew nothing; to the pure truth he was an utter stranger; the falsehoods he had uttered during his short life seemed already to have quenched the bold gaze of innocence from his eyes, to have ban ished the colour of truthfulness from his features, to have transformed him---yet stripling of twenty--into most ac- complished rascal and consummate ex. pert in dishonesty.---A.fican Corre- spO1ade11t.

Four Men to be Hanged.

Four men, all of them whites, are now lying in the County Jail of Burnet County, Texas, under sentence of death all to be executed at the same place on January 15. Their names are Ben iamin Shelby Arthur Shelby, Ball Woods, and William Smith. They were all sentenced for the murder of Benja- min McKeever. Their case, taken in all it's details, is one of the most inter esting in the annals of criminal trials. The evidence against them, though con- elusive, was entirely circumstantial McKeever was shot from his horse at night near the residence of the Shelbys, his throat then cut, and his body carried on horseback three miles and thrown into cave. A large rock was placed on the bloody spot where his throat was cut, but this precaution, instead of concealing the crime, led to the arrest of the criminals. The ke0n eyes of a frontiersman saw that the rock had been recently placed there so it was removed, and indications of blood found. A closer search resulted in the further finding of 8 paper-wadding that had been fired from shotgun. On examining a gun of Benjamin Shelby pdper-WauulnS was uKeW1Se lOund Tn IL, and yet another wadding that had been fired from shotgun like the first, was found under Shelby's doorstep. In his house was found copy of the Chimney Corner, and by comparisons it was ascertained that the three pieces of gun wadding had been obtained from that paper. Placed together the following enigma could be easily read: |
 With piece of paper or slate,
 Sit around the fire both large and small;
 A letter make, almost an eight,
 And now you see what covers all.
 There were several other circumstan- ces pointing strongly to the accused men as the murderers therefore the jury that tried them did not hesitate to find them guilty of murder in the first degree. The verdict is generally ap- proved by the citizens of Burnet Coun- ty, and the latest advices from there indicate that there will probably be nc interferences by Superior Courts or the Governor to prevent the decreed quad ruple execution.

Aaron Burr.

Henry Ward Beecher says: Aaron Burr was a keener thinker than George Washington. He was far more inge- nious man, more active man, and, If he had been moral man, and main tained normal relations with his fellow men, and with the laws of rectitude, he would have been an abler man. Wash ington was man of good sense, but he was not man of genius in any direc- tion except that of conscience. He was a man of singular equity, great disinter- estedness, and of pure and upright in tent. Sagacious he was, by light which came from integrity. He endur- ed, having faith to believe that right was right, that it was safe, and that right in the end would prevail. That which made Washington the only great hero of our revolutionary struggle was the light of the moral element that was in him---not any intellectual genius which he possessed; not any rare tact of administration, or any remarkable exc cutive power And if you look back upon those names in our history that have stood the test, you will find that they have been men who were fruitful in the highest moral element. And as time goes on, those men who lack these elements sink lower and lower and low CT till they set below the horizon; and those who possess them rise higher, till they reach the meridian, with undyine splendor, to shine upon history and'the world.

Bad Memory

Those even who are cursed with the most treacherous memories generally retain a pretty accurate recollection where dollars are concerned. But there are exceptions to every rule, and curi- ous one recently occurred in Paris. One Madame Le Brun, when leaving the Vincennes railway station, saw a little packet drop from beneath lady's dress She picked it up and gave it to her, but the lady denied all knowledge of it, and said that it could not be hers. Madame Le Brun, much puzzled, spoke to one of the officials at the station. He opened the mysterious parcel, and found that it contained about $4, 900. Madame Le Brun then rushed once more after the lady, who came back protesting that it wasn't heps; presently, however, the recollection suddenly, flashed across her that her mother, who had recently made great deal of money, gave her present, day or two before, of the sum in ques- tion; but, knowing that her daughter was going to pay several visits, took the precaution of sewing the packet of notes into her petticoats---an attention which, had it been effectively carried out by a more vigorous ply of the needle and thread, would seem to have been by no means ill-bestowed in the case of lady who totally forgets in a few houss a packet of $4,000. It is not every one who, when losing money, has the luck to meet with Madame Le Brun.
