In oden times upon the green
The fairies reveled in their glee
And crowned with flowers the Fairy Qneen
While earth was full of melody.
The luckless wight who passed their haunt,
Dared not moest the happy throng,
But stood amazed while fear did daunt,
And listened to their artless song.
And now these Fairies turn again
And taste the sweets of earth once more
VICTORIA, CASSIE, come to reign
AS Fairies on this mortal shore.
Nor dance they in the wid-woods shade,
Nor love the darksome shad of night,
They turn them from the forest glade
And seek the blessed realms of light.
Long may they keep their sunny way,
And earth grow brighter where they tread;
O'er mortal hearts they e'er have sway.
For love and beauty here are wed.
They will hold levees at Haylord Hall on
Friday afternoon and evening.

Cynical Lord Bulwer thus wrote to Miss
Mary Fox of Holland House, charming
girl "Men will not marry a woman so
much because they admire her, as because
they think she admires them. IT you wish
to keep well with your husband, and if
you wish to get husband, the happy
individual must think you consider no
man equal to him. All men will believe
this and think it quite natural" He tells
the fair lady that sit is not necessary she
should adore" the man she marries it is
only necessary he should think he is
adored.

1t will be remembered that Sampson,
a ranchman on Duckwater. Nye
county, killed a neighbor last year on
account Of his entering In the Land
Office a piece of ground previously
claimed BY the former. but which lay
outside of the extent allowed him BY
law. On the trial OF the murderer, ut
Belmont. recently, the. jury failed to
agree, owing mainly to the tact that
the principal witness had been induced
to leave the country. We learn that
Sampson Is out on bail, aud the first
thing he did after getting home was to
hire Indians to herd his cattle on the
hay land of the poor woman who was
made a widow by his b~lood-thirsty
violence. 1t was estimated that the
crop would yield about $500. and the
intention OF the neighbors was to save
the hay for the benefit of the widow,
she being too poor to do anything to
the ranch herself, but this generous
design has been thwarted by the vim
dictive conduct Of Sampson. who
seems to know as little about wisdom.

II the trial of Glione, the Italian
padrone. before the city court Of New
Haven. Conn.,. yesterday, the evidence
showed that the four boys whom he
had in his employ were the veriest
serfs In the world. They testified that
they had been in this country twenty
one months, that they had been with
Glione seven weeks, that they were
beaten and kicked unless they brought
home q certain sum Of money every
night. and were ordered to steal If
they could not earn the money. The
contracts under which the padrone
claimed to hold the boys being trans
lated 1t appears that their services
were sold to him by their parents for
five years at about twenty dollars per
year, the parents to pay for medical
services and to forfeit their wages II
they ran away. Glione was held to
answer before the Grand Jury In the
sum Of $4,000. which failing to pro-
duce, he was committed to Jail. The
boys will be taken care Of until the
Grand Jury meets next October.

Yesterday, about IL o'clock A. NJ,
Mr.. William De Camp left this city
with a load of goods on a cart drawn
by two horses, for his home In Ophir
Canyon. AS he was going dowa the
hill on the other side Of the summit,
the tongue broke off close to the axle
tree, precipitating the vehicle forward
and throwing the driver between the
horses. The animals became fright
ened and ran down the hill, dragging
the cart after them by the traces. MIR.
DeCamp was dragged under the vehi-
Gle to the bottom Of the hill. when the
horses were stopped and the unfor-
tunate man picked up aud carried Into
a house. His left leg was found to be
completely shattered, In addition to
which he had sustained severe Injuries
In the side and back. He was made as
comfortable as possible until the arrival
Of the surgeon, who dressed his wounds
temporarily, and yesterday evening he
was brought into town and taken to
the international Hotel, where his leg
was amputated this morning, at the
knee Joint, by Drs. WiXom and Taylor.
The operation was a complete success,
aud the patient has since been as conf
Portable as could be expected after SO
severe an operation, and unless the In
terEal Injuries are greater than present
appearances Indicate. his chances for
recovery are favorable. The ampu-
tated leg was completely shattered to
the ankle joint. there being scarcely q
fragment Of the bone an inch In length.
Mr.. DeCamp Is fifty two years of age,
Is Postmaster at Ophir Canyon, aud Is
also engaged In merchandising at that
place.
Yesterday afternoon. during the
prevalence of the thunderstorm, the
electric fluid made things extremely
lively In the telegraph Office In this
city. Not having n good "circuit,"
Mr.. Heenan. tho operator, had de-
tached the ground wire, the end OF
which he held In his left hand. his
right hand being upon the key. His
lett hand. accidentally coming In COLI
tact with the relay, lie received a
shock which nearly knocked him out
Of his chair and completely paralyzed
him for several minutes. The table
containing the instrument was thrown
into the middle OF the room, with a re.
port like the discharge OF a pistol. and
streaks Of lightning danced around the
room like a pea on n hot griddle.
Sheriff Emery left last evening on
the Battle Mountain stage, having In
charge Thomas Laurie, sentenced to
two years in the State Prison for grand
larceny.

THE CASE OF THE v1Ra1N1us.

The recent action Of the American
Consul and Commander Reed, Of the
U. S. Gunboat Kansas, and Com.
mander Autran, Of the Spanish Gun
boat Bozan, in regard to the sailing Of
the Cuban steamer Virginlus from
Aspinwall has attracted much atten-
tion. The Virginius had American
registry papers, and floated the United
States flag. Her business, however, Is
that OF a blockade runner. The Span
ish commander claimed that the Vir-
ginius, by landing arms and ammuni-
ton on the island Of Cuba for the
insurgents, had laid the vessel liable
to capture by the Spanish authorities
at any time after the commission OF
such alleged violation Of international
law; but the commander Of the Kan
sas held that the running Of a blockade
only rendered the vessel liable to cap
ture when In the act. aud that no
penalty could follow after her escape.
The American Consul ut Aspinwall
conceded with Commander Reed, aud
said the virgiuius had a right to fly
the American flag, and ordered the
Kansas to escort the Vlrginius from
the harbor, citing for his authority the
precedent established by U. S. Minis
ter Hurlburt, in April. 1872. The
Virginius went out Of Aspinwall,
therefore, escorted by the Kansas and
followed closely by the Bozan. The
latter vessel made no demoustra-
tions but denounced the blockade
runner rs a pirate, and an official COM
municatlon detailing all the facts in
the case was ut ono sent by Comman-
der Autran to the Spanish Govern
ment. No reply has yet been received
from Spain, in fact sufficient time has
moi yet elapsed for a decision or in
structions from the Home Government
to be received by Commander Autran.
Dispatches inform Us that the decision
and action OF the American Consul IL
approved aud endorsed by Secretary
Robson. If the Spanish Government
gets Its disorganizcd back up about the
affair, 1t may result In the liberation
Of Cuba, but it Is hardly probable In
the present state Of affairs In the moth
err country that she will feel like en-
broiling herself with the United States
OF a mere technicality. The principle
acted on by the American Consul
seems to be we'll established, and Spain
will undoubtedly content herself with
protests.
