SHASTA STAGE RoBBERY.-The fol-
lowing is from the Sacramento Union of
Monday last:
Sheriff Philbrook, of Trinity county,
who passed through the city yesterday
with an insane man for Stockton, was one
of the passengers by the Shasta and Read
ing stage, which was stopped by high
waymen about two miles from Reading,
about p. NJ. Saturday. The other pass
engers were, besides the Sheriff's prisoner,
one white man and four Cinnamon, Two
men stepped out from the brush, one of
whom covered the driver with shotgun,
while the other stood at the edge of the
brush, and few feet from the side of
the stage. The upper portions of their
bodies were inclosed in barley sacks,
split open at the sides, and with eye and
breathing holes. When they stepped out
into the road, the leaders of the team be-
coming frightened, doubled back upon
the wheel horses, and the driver was, of
course unable to proceed further and had
to comply with the demand of the robber
who had him covered, to hand out Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s box. The rascals were
evidently pretty we'll posted, as, when
the driver handed out box, they de-
manded "the other one, too" The box
es contained 81 900 in coin, and a gold
bar worth 81, 300. When the stage stop
ped, Philbrook looked out of the window
and saw at glance what The trouble was,
but having only derringer with him,
and the other white passengers pistol be-
ing locked up in his valise, he was unable
10 make any demonstration against the
robbers. One of the latter, when the
Sheriff looked out, remarked that the
passengers need not stiT-they would not
be molested-it was only Wells, Fargo
Il Co.'s boxes that were wanted. The
robber at the head of the team was a
small man, about feet 7, weighing say
$50 pounds, and apparently new at the
business, as he held his gun and spoke
nervously. The other fellow was consid-
erably larger. After the stage reached
Reading, officers got ready and started
out after the highwaymen. Arrived at
the scene Of the robbery, they found four
masks on the ground, and also the empty
boxes there were only tracks of two men
however, and there were but two seen by
those in the stage. The officers had
strong suspicious as to who the raseals
were, and were sangune of catching them
soon.

The SToRM.-During Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday of this week 6.75 inches of
rain fell here, and the general opinion
seemed to be that Winter had commenced.
Miners hereabouts had fair supply Of
water and used it in sluicing out bedrock
bitches. The rain was warm and extend
ed 10 the tops of the. high mountains.
Rivers, creeks and gulches rose rapidly
and freshet was anticipated. On We'd
nesday the clouds cleared away, the storm
ceased, and now we are having as pleas
ant weather as one could wish for. From
the first of October to the present time
IL. 81 inches of water has fallen, while
during the same period last year the rain
amounted to only 1.55 inches. Although
the miners have no water to speak of, the
late storm has done much good in soaking
the ground and it is probable that the
next storm will furnish water enough for
all to commence work in earnest.

Largest Tunnels In The World.

The completion of the Hoosae tunnel
and the rapid progress Of the Sutro,
have caused the miners, both in the
East and the West of America, to look
with interest upon what has been and is
projected in connection with tunnel
driving. 1t is In Germany that the
great tunnels have been constructed,
and these have been made exclusively
for mining. There is the great tunnel
at Freiberg, "a miles long the Ernst
August and the Georg at Clausthal, 49,
and 102 miles respectively the Joseph
III. at Shemnitz, 81 miles ); the Roths-
chonberg at Freiberg, s miles; the Mont
Gents, u miles, which about completes
the European list. In the United States
we have the Hoosac, in Massachusetts,
8 miles long the Sutro, in Nevada, for
opening up the celebrated Oomstock
lode. This tunnel, although only A
miles long, will, with its ramifcations
to the various mines of the district,
prove one of the most important in
America. The Sierra Madre tunnel at
Black Hawk, commenced during the
present year, and which will be IL miles
long, as well as the San Carlos and
Union Pacific tunnels, which are under
2! miles. The Ernst-August tunnel was
driven at the rate of mile per anuum,
and it will be interesting to notice how
long it will take the Americans, with al
the approved appliances at present a
command, to complete the nearly SINH
lar Sierra Madre tunnel.

Strange Dance.

Insome districts of India it Is the
custom to hold what is known as a
DEVILS dance, when strings are passed
through the flesh of young men on
both sides of the body. The dancers
sometimes die from their injuries.
There is a resemblance between this
custom and that of the Sioux Indians,
who at intervals have feasts and dances,
in which young men who aspire to be
warriors have strings of buffalo hide
passed through the flesh on both sides
of the breast, the ends of the strings
being attached to cross pole, or to
buffalo skulls. The would-be braves
must dance without food or drink I'M
til the flesh gives way and they are
liberated from torture. The two Gus
toms may have had the same origin.

A Japanese Beauty Described.

A face of classlcal beauty, according
to Japanese notions, combined with
great modesty of expression, black hair
turned up and ornamented with long
gold pins and scarlet Grape flowers, an
outer robe of the most costly silk, en-
broidered in gold and confined at the
waist by a scarf, upon which the high
est female art has been expended in
ornament, and tied in large bow be-
hind, the ends flowing over long train
formed by seven or eight silk petit
coats, each longer and richer than the
other. She must be accomplished in
music, embroidery, singing, and, above
all, in skillfully improvising verses for
the delectation of her future lord. Duty,
a bundle of keys, weekly accounts, and
good housewifery, are all very well.
They are expected-the Japanese gen
tleman requires all that but he wishes
nay, insists upon the marriage yoke
being entwined with roses and padded
with the softest silk. It must not chafe ;
if it does, off he goes to his club, or,
what is nearly as bad, his tea-house.
The law allows him to do SO. and is he

have just seen, says writer in the
Galveston NeUS, one of the passengers
on the stage which was robbed by high
waymen, who reports that the robbery
occurred about two miles this side of
the Blanco river, in Hays county, and
about twenty-five miles from Austin.
There were three robbers, who rode up
to the stage from the rear, two being
on sorrel horses, the other on a paint
horse. They commanded the driver to
halt, each holding pair of six-shoot-
ers in their hands, saying there was a
man on the stage who had murdered
their brother. They then commanded
the driver to drive some 200 yards from
the road on the prairie, where they Or
dered second halt and commanded the
passengers to get out and surrender
their arms. The passengers we're sit
sing in row. One passenger had a
Derringer in his pocket and anothe r
had a six-shooter in his satchel on the
top of the stage, both of which were
taken possession Of They then COM
manded the passengers to hand over
their money and valuables, but as SOM
reluctance was exhibited, two stood
guard.
The leader searched their pockets.
They spoke to the leader as Bill. He,
after taking all the money possible to
get-some 81, 800 and four gold watches
broke open their trunks but finding
nothing tempting, cut open the mail
sacks, which they also found worthless
to them. They changed horses and left,
riding three of the stage horses and
leading their own and one stage horse,
which horse soon came back. They
took off one mail bag.
They are described as follows One
{. about twenty years old, light com,
plexion and hair, smooth face, spare
build, about five feet nine inches high,
weighs about 1876 pounds; another
about three inches taller, with light
mustache and chin whiskers, about
twenty-three years old !; the third was
about twenty-four years old, about five
feet eight inches high, with light mus
tache. After committing the robbery
they rode off rather hurriedly toward
the West. The above descriptions
answer well to that of two of the James
boys and Mccoy, of Missouri, who have
so often been mentioned in connection
with the daring rcbberies in that State.
There were only eight men and one
lady in the stage.

plseasIe,.s. Or cows.

A COW doctor of our acquaintance,
says the n. Y, Sun, who has had an ex-
perience of nearly forty years, says
"Early spring is my harvest, and 1 get
little time to rest either night or day."
We asked him Why. and he replied:
WANT Of plenty of nutritious food and
shelter from cold give me nine-tenths OF,
my Practice" , If COWS were furnished
with plenty of good food and warm sta
bles in. winter the COW doctor would
have little to do in the spring. AS
proof of this assertion we have only to
notice how quickly diseases disappear
after the grass starts, and the animals
are turned out to pasture. Horn-ail,
hollow-tail, and many similar imaginary
diseases so much talked about during
the latter part of winter or early spring,
are mainly the result of constipation,
caused by feeding exclusively dry,
coarse food. and exposure to cold
storms. Reverse the order of treatment
and these diseases would disappear
from the farmers stables in winter as
quickly as they do from his pastures in
summer. Catarrh, inflammation on the
lungs, and similar diseases, all have
their origin in exposure to cold or wet.
Mango is brought on by half .starving
in winter and keeping the animals in
filthy, ill-ventilated stables. 1t becomes
contagious, and frequently spreads
among healthy animals. Ointment,
composed mainly of sulphur, is the
most. efectual remedy. Lice, of course,
show neglect, as no healthy, well.fed,
and well-housed animal is ever troubled
with these parasites. Grubs in the
back or skin are the larvae of the CAD
fly, the eggs being deposited the pre-
vious season, while the animal was out
in pasture. When fonnd, they should
be removed by merely puncturing the
skin with sharp pointed knife, and
then a slight squeeze will throw them
out. ,r..,. -.
The Earth Worm.
If we examine the common earth
worm found in our gardens, his long
body is found divided or marked into
rings or segments. On each of the lat
ter are discovered sets of bristles
rough ard short, which are used to en-
able the creature to climb or creep upol
Ine ground. Iney appear to be de
prived of eyes, and are also withou
teeth, but their sense of feeling is yer,
