THE CIRCUS.

The customs and manners of Pacific
society are graphically illustrated by q
local item in a recent copy of the Val
lejo Independent: "When the New
York and New Orleans circus was in
town young gentleman called at the
residence of his adorable in the evening
and requested the pleasure of escorting
her to the performance. Another young
gentleman, however, had arrived before
him and obtained the young ladys con-
sent to accompany her to the circus,
and when No. 2 arrived he was appris-
ed of the state of affairs and informed
that he had come too late. He went off
in a towering rage, swearing vehement
ly and, it is said, defaming the young
lady's character. The young lady was
informed of his conduct, but she took
no notice of it at the time, and enjoyed
the evening ut the circus as if nothing
had occurred. Next morning, however,
she determined to inquire into the mat
ter, and was reliably informed concern
ing the abusive talk the young man had
INDUCED in concerning her character.
Calling around at his place of business
she saw the young man in person and
questioned him about the matter but
he feigned total ignorance. He was
brought to his senses quite suddenly
when the young lady drew from her
pocket six shootey, which she cooked
and pointed at his face. A man feels
peculiar when looking down the barrel
of revolver which is momentarily ex-
pected to be discharged; at least this
man did. He remembered everything
he had said, and made full and am
pie apology for the same. The apolog
was accepted, but he was warned agains
ever doing the same thing again.

THE STORM IN NOVA SCOTIA.

HALIFAX, Aug. 29.-Mail and tele-
graph details of the storm, on Sunday
night, are being constantly received.
The destruction of life and property on
land and sea is frightful, .and far ex-
ceeds the estimate given. From all Sec
tions there are stories of houses and
barns being blown down, crops destroy
ed, and cattle killed. Such fearful
havoc has not been known in Nova
Scotia and Cape Breton for the past
thirty years. At present 10 accurate
idea OF the loss both to land and pro-
perty and shipping can be formed, but
it will in oil probability reach several
million dollars. Already many lives
are reported lost. There is too much
reason to believe that many vessels were
lost at sea with all hands. The fisher
men on the eastern coast of the Pro-
vince have suffered severely, all having
lost their boats, fishing tackle, &C.,
from Guysboro to Cape Canso. YES
sells arriving in passed large quantities
of wrecked stuff at sea. Capt. Leonard
OF Main-a-Dieu was drowned in Cow
Bay. James Jerrot was drowned at
North Sydney. In Guysboro County
the destruction was immense. A num-
Der of new houses were blown down or
sajured old ones were unroofed or
stripped of their shingles; barns were
raised in every direction and unroofed
fences were pros:rated everywhere, and
everything movable was twisted. bruis-
ed, and tumbled about as if an army OF
guerrillas had ransacked the country.
Forty-seven buildings are reported
down at Manchester. Reports from
Canso, Grow Harbor, Sand Point, and
other places state that the storm was
frightful and caused general ruin,
which is nothing less than public
calamity only to be effaced by time.

Is HE THE MAN

Last evenings New York Post con-
tains a long sketch of Irving, who has
confessed in San Francisco that he MUIR
dered Nathan. The article in the Post
soys that some ten or twelve years ago
there was succession of incendiary
fires at Elizabeth, and it was decided to
employ detectives to ferret out the
guilty persons. For some reason Irving
was selected. One night, while he was
engaged in this pursuit, the iron safe in
q coal Office was blown open, and the
next day Irving had disappeared, which
led to suspicion against him. Marks of
blood were also found, and Irving when
hunted up in New York, was found to
have wound ON one of his arms. He
was arrested, but managed to escape
conviction. Irving is man of good
address, about five feet five inches in
height. of solid build, fair complexion,
light hair, small gray eyes, and about
forty years of age.

A GLUT OF ACCIDENTS.

This mornings Tribune says the peo-
pie who are compelled to use our rail-
roads at this season will be driven to
some serious reflections by the dis
patches of this morning. Three de.
structive accidents, from causes which
do not seem altogether excusable, oc-
Cured yesterday. No one can take any
comfort from considerations of locality,
for these disasters were scattered i'm
partially through the eastern, middle
and western states. A freight train was
thrown from the track on the Eastern
railway, wrecking fourteen cars. Two
passenger trains were smashed into one
on the Hudson River railroad, and it
seems miraculous that among the maim-
ed and crippled there were none killed.
A night express on the Detroit and Mil
waukee railroad became disabled by the
loss of driving-wheel, and freight
train came up behind it, tearing the
rear car to pieces, killing four women
and one child, and injuring ten other
persons. They were all immigrants from
Iceland, and their surviving friends will
retain through life sad impression of
the cruelty and carelessness with which
our great corporations are administered.
For all these disasters there will
doubtless be perfectly satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION. But even though each case
be fully explained, there can be no JUS.
LITIGATION for the repeated and rapid re-
currence of these murderous accidents.
OF course no human foresight can make
travelling by rail or any other convey
ance absolutely safe, but when these
fatal blunders crowd in upon us at the
rate of half dozen in single week, it
is time for them to attract more serious
attention than they have as yet received
from railroad authorities. The news
columns of the papers are constantly
filled with accounts of railroad slaught-
ers, and of meetings of directors for pur-
poses of speculations. But if the pre-
sent ratio of disasters is kept up while
longer, the public will expect that di-
rectors shall spare little time from
their schemes of private gain to devise
some means of taking care of the hu-
man lives which are daily exposed upon
their trains.

CHOLERA.

LEXINGTON, Aug. 29.-Up to We'd
nesday night twenty.seven deaths from
cholera had occurred at Lancaster.
About sixty white families have fled
from the place, best lie large number
of single persons thirty-three white
families and twenty one single persons
yet remain. All the physicians but
three have left. The town is represent
ed ms being in an unfavorable sanitary
condition, and most of the cases are
directly traceable to imprudence, in
temperance, or fright. Five deaths
from cholera are reported in Millers-
burgh, Bourbon County, recently.

FIVE PERSONS KILLED.

DETRIoT, Aug. 29.-The night ex
press, West, on the Detroit and Mil
waukee railroad, consisting of bag
gage car, two passenger coaches, one
sleeping car, and two emigrant cars, las
night became disabled. in consequence
of the engine throwing off the driving
wheel about a mile east of Muir. II
was followed by through freight train,
which ran into the rear passenger car,
killing four women and one child, and
injuring ten other persons, all emil
grants. Medical assistance was at once
procured from Muir. None of those
injured are dangerously wounded. The
emigrants are Icelanders.

The Methodist minister who whipped
hotel-keeper for calling him q dirty
dog seems to have taken unnecessary
pains to prove the allagetion true. But
what shall we think of the Boniface
who, not satisfied with putting the poor
parson to the trouble of proving his
true character, actually took him before
Justice of the Peace and compelled
him to pay three dollars. Some men
never know when to be satisfied.

Bashfulness is charming and engag-
ing quality, but it is apt to be an oc-
casionally uncomfortable one to the
possessor thereof. Witness the case of
an excellent and fastidious young gen
tleman of San Francisco, who lately
made a formal call upon family of his
acquaintance. Having entertained the
said family with unusual brilliancy of
conversation, and quite fasinated its
young lady members, he prepared to
depart. This is always the trying mo.
ment for bashful man. This particu-
lar one made his final bow and grace
fully retired, facing his friends, to what
he fondly imagined was the right door
of exit Alas 1t led to an empty
china closet, and he was inside and had
shut that door before he quite realized
his agonizing blunder. But even that
might have been borne were it not that
the family Watchdog had secretly crept
in there to doze. The intrusion hurt
his feelings, and he naturally and
promptly resented it. The soul-and
the garments-of that young man are
bitterly rent. So much for bashfulness.
