Robbery Of Vice President Colfax.

On Saturday evening last, says the
Washington Star Of February Is, some
thief broke into the rooms Of Vice
President Coltax, at Wormley's, and
rifed a trunk OF nearly $1,000 In stocks
(MobilierP) aud bonds. Major Rich
ards was notified, and sent Detective
Claryoe to the house, when i: was
found that during the absence OF the
family a trunk had been broken open,
and a tin box containing the valuables
distracted, also jewslry to the amount
Of $500. :,
After further Investigation, suspi-
eion fell on u young man, a lodger In
the hotel, who had registered his name
as George B. Mason. Finding that
he had lett the city that day. the case
was assigned to Detectives Miller and
McDeyitt who started on q northern
train In search Of the man and the
property.
Tho detectives returned last night
from Philadelphia, where they recov'
cred the largest portion Of the stolen
property, including all the jewelry OF
Nh. Collars wife and slstor, and ex-
pecs to be able to recover the balance
soon. They undertook the case as
| soon as the theft was discovered, and
although the thief had by that timo
left the city, they were able to follow
his track and recover the most Of the
property, as stated above, which, for
tunately for Mr.. Colfax. was not ne
gotiable, and therefore Of ~ value To
the thief. The only portion negotia-
| BILE was recovered.

The San Jose Mercury OF March 18th

The San Jose Mercury Of March 18th,
says:
The arrest of Baschman. o N Satnr-
day morning. by officers Brownlee and
Keane, shows that policemen need
some other qualifications than to be
simply able to snatch a drunken man
bald-headed. About 4 o'clock on the
morning referred to, word was brought
to Brownlee that a crazy man ut the
Florence Saloon, on Market street, was
on the rampage. Browlce, together
with Keane, repaired to the scene OF
action and found Baschman with no
clothing except a shirt. foaming at the
mouth and striking terror to the hearts
of n crowd Of 10 or Is Italians. who had
been trying to subdue him, but had been
worsted. Several Of them bore the
marks of Baschman's teeth In the face,
while bloody noses and bruised heads
gave tone to the tableau. Brownlee
took in the situation at a glance and
signalling keane to follow close.
dashed through the crowd, seized
Baschmar by the throat with one hand
and turning his arm around his body
threw him on the bed. SO sudden was
this demonstration and so nervily exe.
cuted, that before the crazy man could
recover from his surprise keane was
upon him and he was soon tied last and
harmless. When 1t Is taken into con-
slderation that Baschman Is q power

of frenzy, the merits Of the exploit be-

Sad Domestic Episode.

The San Francisco Bulletin of yester-
day, Is responsible for the following
One of the saddest incidents of the
recent air voyage Is reported from the
lovely valley OF Santa Clara, where an
honest and Intelligent farmer, In the
prime OF life and enjoying the conf.
dence of a large community. sustained
on lrreparable family bereavement.
At the appearance Of the balloon his
larger children screamed with delight,
and dashed away In Its wake ; his
staid wife threw the baby boy at him,
hitched up her Dolly Warden, flung
aside her Sunday CATERS, and also de-
parted, and he and his charge were left
alone and in embarrassing circum-
stances. Hours elapsed, and neither
wife nor children came, and now. In
his troubled slumbers, between that
baby's shrieking solos, visions of tow
headed children bobbing over the hills,
and a distracted mother not far be-
hind, strain his nerves to n fearful ten
sion, and he awakes to find himself the
victim of a deluslve dream ; and the
p~laintive lowing of the kline, the neigh
of the neglected horses, and the dismal
howl of the honest hound, remind him
that his loved ones have gone from his
gaze, and he has got to raise that baby
by hand.

Toe Smith.

A writer In Fraser's Magazine says
A large oil-paintlng Of the prophet Is
carefully preserved in Brigham
Young's receptlon-room at Salt Lake.
No malicious reports Of his enemies Is
so damning to Smiths character as
that portrait. The face Is large, the
ewes big, watery, and prominent !; the
cheeks puffy, the under lip long, the
lips thick and sensual. The chin Is
small; the cheek bones are unpleas7
antly prominent ; tho forehead re-
ceds In a fashion scarcely human. The
prophet has long brown hair. straight,
and Jumped at the ears. He wears a
high collar, with n redundant white
neckcloth. The whole appearance OF
the head-bulky, awkward, ill-set with
dubious eyes and horrible %retreating
forehead-is abnormal, and repulsive
In the extreme. a conviction seizes
irrcsistlbly on the spectator that 1t
must be the head of a criminal or OF an
idiot. No believer In the prophet
should be suffered to see that painting.

A Suggestive Discovery.

A party of workmen engaged in
starting a grade on Steiner street, last
Monday. says the San Francisco Bulle-
tin Of Yesterday, came upon a large
deposit Of animal bones just below the
surface. which were recognized rs ca.
nine relics. and the quantity discovered
indicated that several score of Ill. fated
ours had found their final repose In
that locality. 1t was reported that an
old German citizen, engaged in the
manufacture OF bologne sausages. car
ried on his business In that vicinity
some years ngo. A more gratifying
theory concerning the curious deposit.
however, was given by IL Of the
oldest residents In that part Of the city,
who associates with the discovery a
noted character known rs the Coulter
Snipe," who was committed to the
Insane Asylum many months ago. II
was stated that this strange fellow
occupied a rude h%abltation, constructed
of brush, at ono time, near tho spot
where the bones we're found, and he
was more than suspected OF practicing
a system Of economy In supplying his
larder which involved little patronage
of the regular meat markets. The dis.
covery will no doubt dispel the cloud
of mystery that has developed the fate
of honest watch-dogs and other ours
whose barks passed out unseen to some
unknown bourne.

THE HORSE DISEASE.

Some OF our California exchanges,
commenting upon the arrival and gen.
eral prevalence Of the horse disease
here In Gold Hill, Virginia, Carson
and vicinity, argue, from our higher
elevation and more rigorous weather,
that II the epizootic does cross the
mountains, It will not flourish 50 sx-
tensiyely or prove SO effective and
damaging to business as it does here.
We hope 1t will not, yet believe they
will see but little difference. It came
In the atmosphere, attacking all the
horses at once, and In nearly the
same day, and that Is the way
1t will sweep through California
II It reaches there at all. We all
thought here, from tho slow and scat
tering progress made by 1t In the east
srn part Of the State, that 1t was get
ting pretty we'll played out, and that
there was not enough LEFT to reach
here, or II It did, tho cases would be
few and far between, owing to oui
moro elevated, purer atmosphere,
Yet 1t Is hero, and plenty Of 1t for all,
with an abundant Overplus for the sup
ply of California. Even though the
freezing atmosphere Of the snow
capped Sierra should form an effectual
barrier to the pestllential blast, yeti the
disease Is reported to have already
made Its appearance In Los Angeles
San Bernadino, and other places Ia
Southern California, and 1t will work
Its way up the coast from there.

A curious character. an old and go.

has recently died In the little town OF
Comru, not far from Reading, Penn.
The most singular thing connected
with his death was tho finding, soon
after this event, of an old copper tea
kettle In the back yard Of his cabin,
containing nearly $1,000 In hard coin,
which constituted the savings Of prob
ably more than sixty years. Every.
body that knew this singular character
was aware that he had money saved
somewhere. Upon inquiry at the
banks no clue was found to his fortune.
His nephews arrived In Comru town.

1t properly buried: They returned and
proceeded to search the premises for
tho money they knew must DO hid
somewhere. On Wednesday they re-
ceived Information from a lady In Ex-

that Black Philip, before his death.
had told her when he died they should
dig behind his cabin near the foot OF

money. 1t was bis particular request
that she should say nothing to any one

TIE returns for the week to March
z, Of the Belcher and Crown Point
mines, are as follows:

ss,ssst P Point. :s,sss s sss.siH : = g 8
This rate Of production for the two
mines Is equal to $24.000,00 per am
mum, or $4,000, 900 more than the
whole product Of the State Of Nevada
last year. As the mills now use Rocky
Mountain coal the supply Of fuel Is
ample and cheap, transportation IL un-
interrupted and the machinery being
all In fine order the results are as seen
in the above official figures. In both
mines the ore runs higher in gold. and
the average yield per ton has, as a con-
sequence, doubled since December.
| The Crown Point mine as 1t now ope-
rates will clear $1,000, 600 profits this
month. The singular contrast Is pre-
sented with last year that at that time
mines without a dollar Of ore In sight
were selling lot mliiiohs Oh uoiiats'

great mines by the end OF this month
will have cash In bank equal to % pei

TnH Indian agent who was appoint
ed on the Christian principle to make
peace With the Shoshones, Is not as
philanthropic as he used to be. As
soon as the treaty had been signed, the
principal chief conducted him to a wig
wan and made him change shirts on
the spot. He pleaded that the chief
had the most valuable garment; but it
was Of no use. The chief had worn II
for two years without ever taking II
of; and now the agent must Be his
brother and make the exchange, or be
killed BY him. The agent finally con-
sented, put on the shirt. and took the
next train for a civilized region.
