HoNoRs To RALsToN.-New York, Sept.
13.-About forty members of the Associ-
ated Pioneers of California met this even
ing to give expression to their regret at
the misfortune which overlook the late
W. c. Ralston. A resolution was adopt
ed declaring that the sympathies of the
association are in entire accord with
those of the citizens of San Francisco,
who have recently borne such emphatic
testimony to the character of the man
and paid such warmhearted tribute to
his momory, and extending the tenderest
sympathy to his bereaved family.
A BARON IN THE RANKs .-Among those
who volunteered to g. from here to the
White Pine Indian war was Baron Won
HUM. late of the Royal Guard Corps of
his Majesty Emperor of Russia. He
was attached to Captain Hubbard's COM
mand. and as he gracefully bestrode
prancing cayuse, pressed into the
States service from an indignant coal
teamster, he looked every inch a soldier.
We greatly admired the martial bearing
of the Baron. and it is with unfeigned
pleasure that We learn of his return
from the perils of the tented field"

Sherman ON the Generals of the

eyes, sir. They hardly kept up the
appearances of skirmishes They
struck us in fixed line of battle, and
fought like tigers. saw their colonies
with the naked eye seize the flags from
the standard bearers and rush up and
plant them, and there would be clump
of men collected around each standard
until, under our terrific fire, they
seemed to melt out of the air. The
slaughter in that field was fearful. AS
they advanced our soldiers would wait
until they got within numbering dis
lance and then give them he'll"
General Sherman who was the
principal genius of the confederacy in
the western field ?"
"Oh, Joe. Johnston, said Gen. Sher-
man. "He was cunning, subtle fellow.
Albert Sidney Johnston was more of a
Kentuckian, and had a fine inspiring
presence on the battle field. We felt in
our lines, without knowing much about
it, the effect of his death. There was
a IulI in the battle. He had been killed
and Beauregard could not be found. "
"Gen. Sherman, did you ever come
across Pat Cleburne ?"
sob, yes" said Sherman, Pat was
everywhere. He was just coming up
to the prominence he deserved when he
was killed. If there had been another
year of Cleburne and the war, he would
have left one of the greatest reputa-
tions in the southwest.

He Wasn't Ready,

Old Isaac was, or rather believed
himself to be a devOut Christian.
wrestled much in prayer, and it was
his custom at night, when his work was
over, to retire to his cabin, and devote
himself to wOrrhip until bedtime.
These exercises were carried on in so
loud tone as to be heard by all the
persons on the farm, white and black,
and old Isaac's earnest and frequent
announcements that he was always
ready to meet his "Lawd had been so
often heard that some rascally boys
concluded to have some fun, and at the
same time test Isaac's faith. One
night, therefore, while old Isaac was

"Is-a-ac Is-a-ac!" came in deep,
sepulchral tones down the chimney.
"Amen !" softly said Isaac, closing
his prayer abruptly, and rising with
fear and trembling.
"Is~a-ac Is-a-ac!" came the still
dreadful tones.
"Who ho-ho's dat ?" stammered the
awe-stricken negro.
"The-angel-o f-the-Lord- has

Only a Basket of Flowers.

Last evening a dapper young gent,
with educated mustache and patrOnizing
smile, entered an up-bound car on st.
Charles avenue, and having deposited
his fare with the tips of his gloved
fingers, took seat and drew imaginary
maps of Africa on a shining pair of
boots, with a delicate malacca cane.
The only other occupant of the car, ex-
cepting the Jehu, our informant, was a
modest young lady, who sat next to the
lion. Soon flower boy entered the car
and proffered his wares for sale. The
self-satisfied young man CALAMITY di-
rected the boy to present the basket to
the young lady with his compliments,
with instructions to help herself as she
pleased. The young lady slowly and
deliberately proceeded to relieve the
flower boy of his entire burden, which
so pleased the young man that he
smiled a most approving smile, and
promptly paid down the whole amount
to the boy. When the lady saw that
the boy had been paid, she slo wIy pro-
ceeded to pile the flowers together,
after which, with an expression of scorn
that added immeasurably to her lowell.
ness, she threw the whole of them out
into the street. Tableau IN. O.

The Late Empress of China.

The China mail brings news of the
death of the Empress Dowager, Kea
Shun, widow of the late Emperor Tung
Chih. It was reported soon after the
last Emperor's death that his young
widow had committed suicide, but &C
cording to the Pekin Gszette her death
did not take place until the 9th of
March. The China Mail says "Her
fate has been, indeed, an unhappy one.
Welded at the age of fifteen she became
widow at seventeen, and since the
death of her husband has, if native re-
ports are to be believed, led a most
miserable life. She is said to have re-
fused all food for some days previous
to her death, and to have sunk from ex-
haustion. Whether these reports be
true or not, we can easily believe that
her position was a most unenviable one
At best she was condemned to perpetual
seclusiOn for many years to come, while
she was exposed TO intrigues which, in
view of her expected confinement, might
have had her death and that OF the
possible child as their object Death
was probably a merciful relief" The
Shanghai Courier and Gazette says that
the early death of the empress is en-
tirely in accordance with the national
idea of what is most highly fitting for a
wife so bereaved. It is not impossible
that her memory will acquire a sanctity
in Chinese eyes from the fact of her
having followed her lord within so short
period the event is already attributed
to her regrets, as it is said that she
suffered from no definite disease.

courteously, coquettishly using their
fans, while their Iustrous eyes welcome
favorites. A gentleman who has re-
sided here for some time declares that
if the Mexican ladies are not SO vari-
ously beautiful as the women of north
ern lands, in whose veins the blood OF
many nations are mingled, they are
most lovable creatures in spite of the
uniformity of their national type.
There is degree of exquisite tender
ness and an expression of affectionate
sincerity in the face of Mexican women
which instantly wins not only the re-
spect but the confidence of the gazer.
The toilets we saw at the opera were
elegant, but not in any way gaudy, and
at an operatic performance in any OF
our cities we should have seen much
more of the wearers, although the
Mexican ladies are almost all so stout
that they can appear decOIlete without
anatomical suggestions.

Desperate Fight With a Sword Fish.

While out fishing in New York bay,
last Friday, Mr.. Henry Weeks and two
other gentlemen had an encounter, the
like of which has rarely, if ever, Oc-
Cured in those waters. He observed
a commotion among the shad-nets in
the neighborhoOd, and rowed toward
the point of excitement, when his small
boat became the object of a singular
submarine attack. At first, supposing
an immense shark was the unexpected
foe. Mr.. Weeks and his friends used
their boat-hooks with vigor, and the
struggle between the boat, its occu-
pants, and the adversary became one of
life and death. If the boat had not
weathered the attack, and its occupants
had been thrown into the Jaws of its
assailant, something more than a wa
terry grave might have been the result.
Mr.. Weeks conquered. but his boat was
badly splintered by the enemy, which
proved to be a gigantic sword fish,
measuring 10 feet s inches, weighing
$50 pounds, and capable of sending its
sword, feet inches long, into the
sides of any wooden ship.

Ambitious Young Singers.

Lucy Hooper in letter to Apple
toms Journal says There are said to
be in Milan, at the present time, no
fewer than three hundred American
girls who are studying for the lyric
stage. Most of these have already
made Qu0si-successful de6aIts in the
theatres of small italian towns, and
possesses a repertoire varying from ten
to twenty operas, all thoroughly studied,
and ready for production at any time.
And, with all this, no jDlpreSGTij come
forward to eagerly Gull these buds of
tuneful promise. The fact is that the
italian opera, everywhere outside of
Italy save in London, is in a sad state
of decadence, threatening dissolution,
and managers have neither money nor
inclination to trouble themselves about
youthful though aspiring mediocrity.
Besides, these young girls, these en-
bryo PATHS and Persianis, are mostly
as conceited as possible, and will
hearken to no suggestions of any career
short of that of leading l0r5n1a donna
at the Sale Ventadour or at Covent
Garden. It is on record how Carl Rosa,
when, making up his English opera
company, came to Paris with view of
Offering engagements to one or two of
the more promising musical students of
the wear, and was met in most
instances by contemptuous refusal.
1t was beneath the dignity of these
would-be stars to sing in English opera.
One of them, Miss Julia Gaylord, was
wiser in her day and generation. and
has lately achieved, a marked success
in English opera at Dublin. Another
one, a young southern lady, whose
stage name is Nina Galtano, has de-
voted herself to the higher branches of
concert-singing, and, being thorough
and accomplished artist, she has be-
come the chosen aid and supporter of
the great pianist Hans Won Bulow.
Some of these unappreciated sopranos
in Italy are offering, in some instances,
a thousand francs for the privilege of
appearing on the stage.
THE potato bug is a hard shelled,
striped insect, nearly twice as large as
the " lady-bug, with a yellow and
black spotted head, six legs and a yell
low and black striped armour. It is
native of Colorado, whence its name of
Colorado beetle. 1t was first seen feed
ing on a wild potato, but when the set
tiers introduced the domestic potato
the bug attacked it at once. 1t breeds

which last for nineteen days.

GFrom the German of Koernerl
NV blood flows fast, my pallid lips still,
My eyes grew dim, and, by my hearts slow beat
know my soul draws near the mercy seat;
In Thee trust, o Lord, and wait Thy viii!
How many golden visions did see!
That lovely dream-land to death-song turns.
Courage the fire of truth within me burns,
My sout's companion in the life to be-
The hottest thing that mortals know.
For which the young and generous glow,

And lifts my senses, fsinting here,
To roseate realms above.
