The Grass Valley (Cal.) Union tells this
story: Some time since resident OF
Grass Valley had occasion 10 60 10 Si.ki-
YOU County, and While travelling over
Mount Shasta. he saw four large Caliior-
nit lions. Not showing much of their
savage characteristics. ne stopped his horse
and gaZed at them. They looked at him
for some time. and then turned and slowly
trotted away. He had no weapons, and
had they been hungry he would not have
returned to tell his expedition. When he
came 10 stopping place that night he
told OF his adyesture. when one OF the res
identS there told him that one of those
lions had q short time before stolen a child
under the following circumstances The
mother of the child had occasion to do the
washing. and for this purpose she had 10
90 into the inclosure that surrounded the
back-door. She placed the chid--a girl
about eighteen months old--on the
ground. and gave IL some playthings TO
amuse itself with while she busted her
self with her work. with her back TO the
child. a few minutes after she heard a
scream from the child, and turned Just in
time to see full-grown California lion
leaping over the fence with the unfoftu-
nate child In its mouth. The mother
tainted, and, no one else being near, she
lay In this condition for some time. When
she recovered an alarm was raised. and
pursuit made. but no trace could be- found
OF the lost child. Our friend began TO
tremble In his boots at the recital. and
rather regretted his daring Ito beard the
lion in his den." The lions are particu-
larry bold. and the settlers are kept In con-
slant fear all the time.

W. NJ. PATTERSON, an old and high
ly respected White Piner, made his
appearance among US the first OF the
week, and was warmly welcomed by
his old-time friends. He has already
visited some of the leading mines OF
this district, and p%ronounces them, as
all others do who visit them, good in
every respect. He il accompanied by
w. Guam, of Philadelphia, who
comes to visit the mines of this district
with a view of operating in them. In
mediately upon the arrival of Mr..
Guam here, he was attacked with
pneumonia, and is now confined to
his bed at the Jackson House.

HOW THEY Fixed HIM

the annexed good story:
There is a man in this city who 10 ;,
affectionately fond of his wife that ~
is jealous if a man looks within for,..o
five feet of the direction in which y.
may happen to be. The other dau :
gentleman spoke to her and he inn med
lately threatened suicide. His VIII.
was dispatched for a bottle of poison
consisting of a little water colored win
liquorice, and lateled with a glarina
poison label on the outside. When he
threatened to take some of it, and az.
tually poured 1t into a wine glass, She
screamed for help and ran out of ths
room into another room, where She
could watch him through the kev.hola
and saw him coolly open the window
and throw it out. She then rushed
back apparently frantic with grief. and
implored him lot to do the rash deed
lie merely pointed at the glass, and
laying down on the floor, began ia
kick out his legs like a jumping Jack.
She told him she was determined Ia
share his fate, and swallowed the rest
OF the llquorice water, whe-enpon he
became really frightened, called the
neighbors, confessed that he ONLY
slammed, and said if she only sur.
vived he never would trouble her
again. Then she explained the ruse.
and he was so mortified he tried to
buy up the silence OF the ~neighbors.
but the story was too good to keep.

THAT SCENE.

The nomination by the Republicans
of California Of I. G.. Phelps for Gov
ernor recalls a scene enacted at Sacra-
mento during the session of the Legis-
lature in 1861. Phelps, Park, Sargent
and CONFESS were all candidates for the
United States Senate. Phelps, as we
now recollect the b~alloting, stood
highest, Sargent second, Park third,
with CONFESS bringing up the rear.
The friends of Phelps were jealous
and sanguine of success. He only
needed a few votes to carry off the
.much.coveted prize and these he would
probably have received but for the
fact that his friends were drawn into
a trap which proved fatal to his
chances. As we have already stated,
his friends swere jealous, and among
them were those who were able and
willing to put a little coin "where it
would do the most good" Knowing
this, the Sargent, or Park men, wefor-
get which, determined to put up a job
on them. Two members were found
who were willing to play the parts as
signed them in order to defeat Phelps.
One Of them was to assent to the ac-
ceptance of a moneyed consideration
for his vote and the other was to put
himself in position to first witness and
then expose the transaction in all of its
details. F. M. Smith, now a prom
inent attorney of Elko, was to
act the role of informer. A
room in one of the hotels was selected,
Smith concealed himself in the ward
robe and negotiations opened. After
the contract had been duly sealed and
the money paid over Smith made
known his presence, and there ended
Phelps candidature for the Senate.
What followed is we'll understood by
all old Pacific Coasters. Out of pure
and unadulterated spite, CONFESS, the
last man in the race, was taken up and
triumpllantly elected. And now it
only remains to be said to the credit Of
Phelps that he was absent in Washing
ton while these scenes of doubtful pro-
priety we're being enacted.
