A MIRACULOUS PRESERVATION,

A writer to the London Times writing
from Copenhagen, says:
"a Norwegian paper is relating tale of
an almost miraculous preservation. The
captain of the schooner Amazon of Stavan-
ger, recently arrived at Bergen with a car
go of salt, reports that in passin, the Brit
ish Channel he had the opportunity of saw
ing British lad of fifteen under very pccu-
liar circum stances. The Amazon was about
twelve geographical miles from the British
shore when the captain thought he observed
through his telescope something floating on
the water. He altered his course SO rs to
get nearer, and soon discovered that it was
small boat, in which lad was lying fast
asleep.
1.-The shouting from the schooner did not
awaken him. but when a log was thrown
over into the boat he awoke with sudden
start; an end of line was thrown to HIM,
and he was ust able to fasten it when he
swooned and had to be carried on board tho
vessel. In the boat nothing was found but

brought buck to life and strength by the
tender care shown to him, gave the follow
ing account of his fate He was sittin. on
the shore, reading his Bible, when some of
his companions came down to him and teas
ed him with the manner in which he spent
his leisure time. To escape from their BAN
ter he got into q boat and kept on reading,
when suddenly he discovered. to his groat
dismay, that his prosecutors had cut the
line and left his frail boat to the power of
the quick running ebb.
'He tried to use the oars, but strug lied
in vain against wind and water, and, as a
dense fog set III. he soon lost sight of land.
After several hours of alternate struggle
and powerless despair he fell asleep, AMI
sleep remained in fact his only comfort
against hunger, cold, and the deep pangs of
his isolation during the three days and two
nights which he had spent in his frail boat
when he was at last Seen and savod. I'm
happily, neither the name of the lad nor of
the place where his parents live is given,
but that will, suppose, not be- difficult to
get at when the fact obttins your wide pub
licity. The name of the captain of the Am
azon is Thompson

came over Stevens when he fonpd was
locked up with him. The effects of the
drink were passing away, owing to the
strong mental excitement produced by tho
discovery of these remains; and no sooner
was the lock turned on me, than he clasped
me by the hand as the Groom that had al
ways been SO friendly, and began to cry
piteously like child. His thoughts were
use the opportunity. TO make this right,
| began-I say, Stevens. do you know they
have found the old mans bodyp 1t *as in
sack, and the sack was weighed with
stones; and one of the stones they say, was
our lapstone. The skull is broken in two
places, SO that it is plain he must have
been murdered. What made you talk about
him in your sleep just nowf p Did ~
What did sayY "You said if they would
let you off. you would show them where his
money was (This he had said in his
sleep.) Upon this he gave a eonvulsve
shrek, fell back npon the straw. and ex-
claimed-'Yes, l killed old Jeffrey - but
don peach on me; they can only bring me
up for being drunk and disorderly, and III
give you half the money. say, groom,
you won't peach, will you? l will leave
these parts. l have had too much whiskey.
Let me sleep; III tell you everything to-
morrow; but don't peach. and I'll make a
clean breast of it.
Before the morning broke he had con-
fessed everything to me. 1 had always
been a good fellow, and he didn't mind
telling Mr.. Us groom everything. He
had entered the old mans hut at midnight,
beat in his skull, put the body in u sack,
and. fool that he was, put i'll his own lap
stone along with other stones to make it
sink, and had hid his money beneath the
mud floor Of his cottage. The next morn
ing we were brought before the magistrate
of the district, charged Us aforesaid On
being asked what had to say, l handed
the ma gistrate my authority to act AZ a de-
tective, and requested to be placed in the
witness box, as | had "a chargo Of murder
to bring against Stevens VINO was there on
the minor charge. In less time than it
takes me to tell this, I had left the room,
and greatly to the bcwilderment of every
one. especially of the local police. the we'll
known groom of IL. was i'll his uniform,
bringing his charge against Stevens, found
ed on his own confession. of numbering the
old hermit, jeffrey.
"The sequel is soon told; my evidence
hung Stevens. who again and again. pre-
vious to his execution, confessed not only
this murder, but the murder of mate in
the bush some years back, with whom he
was working on q station, making stake
and rail fence

THE SEA-NIOISE.

The sea-mousc is one of the prettiest
creatures that live under water. 1t sparkle
like diamond, and is radiant with all
colors Of the rainbow, although it lives i'll
the mud at the bottom Of the ocean. 1t
should not be callod mou8e. for it is larger
than big rat. 1t is covered with scales
that move up and down us it breathes, and
glitters like gold shining through heecy
down, from which fine silky bristles wave,
that constantly change from one brillirnt
tint to another, so that. as Cuvicr, the {, cat
naturalist says, the plumage of the hum
ming bird is no more beautiful. Sea-lnice
are sometimes thrown up ON the beach by
storms.

IA HUNDRED EXTINCT VOLCANOES.

The San Francisco Chronicle gives the
following in an account of a recent meeting
of the Academy of Science of that city.
DR.. Harkness spoke of discoveries IN de by
himself in parts of Plumas and Lassen
counties little known hitherto. A tract Of
country containing about eight thousand
square miles, he described not only rs vol
canic, but showing traces Of recent volcanic
action. and having within its limits one
hundred extinct volcanoes. A large crater
on the dividing line of the two counties
had damned up the lake. giving it a new
outlet, and spreading its waters over an
area Of three square miles. The volcanic
cone is higher than Vesuvius. Ashes and
scoria are scattered all down it's sides In
different parts of the lake are s'umps of
trees, some of them forty-fve feet in height.
and showing above the surface. Some of
them. standing On the lava, are only par
TALLY burned through. indicating that the
matter elected from the volcano was not
all in a melted state. In other places occur
round cavities, which were sounded by DR..
Hardness and his party, and stumps found
at the bottom. Higher up. the trees.
though untouched by the lava, were burn
ed by the heat. The growth of a portion of
the trees since the eruption shows about
twenty-five annular rings. The lava from
the volcano covers about one hundred
square miles. An old resident of Red
Bluff, who was in the ncghborhood in 1858.
told the doctor that he saw bright sheet
Of fame rising from the mountain. which
continued during his entire stay. Shaved
Head, an old Indian of the Mill Creek
tribe. says that in his youth the region was
alive with volcanoes in active operation.

WAKING UP TUE WRONG PAS
SENGER.

One day last week the three card monte
thieves met with Il little surprise over at
Battle Mountain, and from among the pas
sengcrs on the West bound train who
alishted they selected the wrong one for u
victim. The story is thus told by the Vir-
ginia Enterprise:
"The other day, at Battle Mountain, they
(tho monte sharps) allurcd German from
the east, who exhibited a large roll of
greenbacks on the platform, into the spi-
ders net. The drunken man was on u
big spree when the expected victim enter
ed, and was losing money on every bet.
The German declined to bet, and to get
him in the notion one Of the cappers gave
him twenty dollar piece on which to try
his luck. He placed it on Il card and Won.
Pocketing the $40 he refused to bet again,
and walked out of the house, followed by
the cappers, who insisted on getting the
money back. The German drew large
sized revolver from his pocket, and assum-
ing defiant attitude, said:
"'You speak to me put you so tam full
of holes you don't know what you am.
am an old Californian, and know all about
your tam tricks. You take me for an emil
grant you make fools NIT yourselves.
"The three carders discovered that they
had caught Tartar, as they saw their
would-be victim board a train as the con-
ductor shouted 'all aboard and leave them
iamenting.'
