Performance of a Female on the
Castinet.

r. About 3 o'clock Sunday evening, an affcay
occurred between Mary Dorsey and Alexan-
der Castinet, at the corner of Cont and Ram
mart streets, in which Castinet was struck
over the head and severely cut with Ratchet.
The wound inflicted was not of so serious a
nature as to prevent Castinet summoning
Corporal Remy, who incarcerated Mary in
shs Fourth.
1t appears from the statement Of the woman
that she was sitting in her window when Cas-
tinet passed and asked for admittance,
which was refused, whereupon he advanced
in q threatening at .iude towards her and she
closed and bolted the window and doors
Castinet then forced open the door and adj
vanced upon her with knife in his hand.
Fearing some bodily injury, she seized q
Ratchet and struck her assailant in the head,
when she fed into the saloon adjoining her
house.
m She then hid in one of the eating booths,
where Castinet followed and seized Ler, but
failed to accomplish his purpose Of revenge,
owing to the interference Of the proprietor,
Dir. Marcalusa, who corroborates the above
statement Castinet states that he was pass
ing and was invited into the house by Mary,
and that be was slightly under the influence of
liquor at the time.
Suddenly she became angry and picked up a
Ratchet without his knowledge, which she hid
within the folds of her dress. She then came
back to the window and began TRADE
of abusive epithets to which he replied
PECULIARLY. Hardly had he replied before she
raised the weapon and struck him over the
head, ran in and locked the door.
He then followed her into the saloon when
he discovered that his head was bleeding, and
Immediately desisted. Mr.. Castinet ia the
proprietor Of saloon at the corner of Front
and Bienyile streets. The wounded man was
taken to DR.. Demands drug store, where his
wounds were dressed. The cut is considered
dangerous.

FROM ot NlchO4As 4oT august.
Colorado has been called the wonderland
of America, and it well deserves that tide.
Readers of the 81 Nicholas Will remember
some sketches of the "Garden of Gods, -
printed in our number for last December,
which showed some of the wonders of that
region. But the Colorado River, though it
trayerses much larger territory than that
of Colorado, is not only grand enough to de-
serve the name of wonderful river, but
very admirably maintains the reputation of
the Territory for being place of natural
wonders. This river has lately been ex-
plored by Major j. W. Powell, who has
written a series of papers describing what he
saw. These descriptions were published 10
Scribner's Monthly, and the pictures are al
most amazing for their grandeur and beauty.
Nothing like it has ever before been seen in
this country. To explore such wild and
tumultuous stream is a severe task. Many
are the thrilling incidents related by Major
Powell and his comrades, and many were
their mishaps. A deep river, confined in
narrow gorge or channel Of steep rock, Is
full of danger it has no shores on which
wrecked nayigators can be cast, and it is
frequently broken by abrupt cascades, falls
great rocks that grimly lift their heads just
above water requires steady eye at the
bow and a steady arm at the tiller-
The Colorado River reaches far up into
the heart of the continent for its sources.
Away up in Nebraska there is a vast clus-
ter OF peaks covered with snow, and forming
an off-shoot, or spur, of the Rocky Noun
tains. These are the Wind River Noun
tains, and among them are thousands OF
bright little rivulets and brooks, fed by the
melting SHOWS. MANY of these little streams
run together after while, and 50 form the
Green River, a river which is cold, swift and
deep. 1t crosses the roads that lead across
the continent to California and, in old
times, when emigrants used to go to the
gold country with horses or ox-teams, they
verv much dreaded the dangerous lords OF
Green River. 1t flows on for more than one
thousand miles, often winding about, but al
ways moving southwark, through mon
strous masses of rock and amidst arid plains,
until it empties itself into the Gulf of Cali
fornia, and 50 reaches the Pacific Ocean.
Further south than the head-waters of the
Green River is the Grand River. which
rises near Longs Peak, in the Rocky Noun
tains. 1t is born in the solitary lakes which
lie among the rocky crags high up amidst
the cold mountain peaks. Few white men
have ever looked upon these lakes; but we
know that out Of their mysterious depth,
hidden amid the pines and fir trees, come
the waters of the Grand River. This stream
unites with the Green, and so forms the
great Colorado. which, as We have said,
flows into the Gulf of California. Besides
these two main branches of the Colorado,
there are hundreds of others; some OF them
have no names; but many are named on
the maps, where you may find them duly
| set down.
After these streams leave the immediate

neighborhood of the Rocky Mountains.-
say about two-thirds of the way down to the
mouth of the Colorado, they pass through
very d.y and rocky country. Ages on
ages ago, it is supposed the surface Of this
region was comparatively level, though
broken here and there by rocky peaks.
Through it the streams rushed with great
speed, year after year and century after1cen-
tury. If there had been frequent and heavy
falls of rain. the surface of the country
would have been washed into the rivers, and
the debris, or loose stuff, swept in, would be
carried off by the rivers. But the rain sell
dom falls there, aud so the rivers, left to
themselves, have kept on wearing down the
rocky bed through which they foam, until
they have ploughed deep channels far down
into the rocky heart of the land Nobody
can tell how long the rivers have been at
work carving out these channels; but there
they are, with tremendous cliffs towering
far above them and so smooth are the walls
Of these gorges or eanOns pronounced can
yons) that the traveller must pass down the
river by water; there is no shore along which
he may walk but, in general, the rock
rises straight up from the river on either
side.
These canons which we have mentioned
often run into each other just as the branches
of the stream run into the main chan
mel There Is a maze Of them all over the
country, so that one cannot traverse the
face of the land, these deep gorges 50 cut
it up with channels and abysses. The walls
of the canons rise to a great height-sole
of them more than two thousand feet The
scenery cannot be called beautiful it is ter
ribe and sublime. But one must suppose
that few weeks spent in such an awful
place would made one long for the sunny
lawns and smooth streams Of less wonder
ful country. Nevertheless, the great river
will always be favorite resort for those
who love to look upon the mightiest works
OF God in nature.

The .REsroxsiBLE" AGE.-Within what
times Of life is human being, especially
of the female sex, responsible for his Or her
actions? Of the little girl at Spalding who
stole the geraniam We have heard quite
enough. Since tn en- there has been another
little girl proved, not to have stolen gera-
mum, but to have tried to poison some
children whom she had to look after ; she
was acquitted because, at the age OF thir-
teen. she was not old enough TO understand
the commandment against murder. Still
more lately. Rose Brown is convicted of muir
dering her husband, but is recommended to
mercy on the ground Of her age. As Rose
Brown is sixty years old, while her husband
was ninety-nine, it is not clear whether she
is recommended to mercy on account OF her
great age or her extreme youth. Perhaps
it is the latter Lord Lyndhurst thought
Mr.. Canning at fifty-six quite boy, and
Nlr. Disraeli seems to be Of the same way Of
thinking. But it would be well that We
should know which way il is Are ali hu-
man beings, especially female huma beings,
responsible after the age Of sixty, and not
before? Or are they responsible between
thirteen and sixty, but not if they are older
or younger? Anyhow, we cannot Join with
the jury in looking on the murder of man
of ninety nine as light matter. Men OF
ninety-nine are not 50 common that we can
willingly lose any of them. Besides, man
of ninety mine would either live to be hun
dred or he would not. He would, therefore,
do something either to confirm or refute GER
tain scientific theories. The act Of Rose
Brown, if e1cusable an any other ground,
is quite inexcusable from the point Of view
of those who wish to test the doctrines OF
Mr.. Thoms and the late Sir George Lewis.

We found him sitting on the post Office
steIs Ills clothes were old and well worn !;
bis straw hat looked like it had seen many
summers; his boots were out at the toes,
and everything went to show that time had
been his enemy.
We approached him gently, and laid our
hand On the old mans shoulder and
said
"Old man, why those tears ?7
lie looked up suspiciously at US, drew up
his leg, brushed off the mud, and said, in
voice eloquent with emotion
"Hoppas"
We knew at once that he had been a vic
tim OF the grasshoppeTs, and pitied him from
the bottom OF our hearts. In hours Of suffer
Ing the soothing voice or the graceful touch
OF womanly hands will do more toward al
leyiating the misery Of poor, SORROW
stricken heart, OF heart bowed down with
trouble, than the most feeling expression Of
which awkward, uncouth man is capable in
his most sympathizins moods. But there
was no female there, 50 we did the best We
could, and invited the old man home to din
ner
Il don't know what put it into your
heart to be 50 kind to me, - sobbed the poor
old man, "Old ncje Billy ISM used to 1t; :"
and he wiped the tears from his eyes as he
walked along the street.
There was a silence for moment or two,
and then he heaved deep sigh, pulled his
hat down over his eyes. and the silence was
broken by him saying
Would were in the grave I've moth
Ing to live for now
wife and children dead?"
''1a-yaas, he gasped. "All gone. -
How did it happen?' we inquired, as
we filed up.his plate for the thirteenth
time.
And then ncle Billy told his story
how be came from Nebraska, and how he
had been eaten out by the grasshoppers, and
how he had seen his wife waste away day
10y day, for want of sufficient food, until be
finally had the melancholy pleasure Of at
tending her funeral, ard how the grasshop-
pcrs stopped the funeral procession, broke
open the coffin, ate up his wife's remains,
and chased him across a forty-acre lot.

hired man, who had been listening IN the
kitchen.

"Thaf'S terrible p" we said.

bowed his attenuated form, and shed the
bitter, binding tears Of a strong man in
agony.
We all joined in the sorrowlul wall which
went up from sympathizing hearts, and We
had general wet time all around. But
tears relieved the soul, and after the poor
old man had wept while and eaten con-
siderable he felt better, and had US 90 up
into the hot garrett and hunt around about
three-quarters of an hour, amid the dust and
cobwebs, for the sick le which We remember
ed putting up there last summer, and then
he went out into the front yard and COM
menced cutting grass, to show how grateful
he was for the kindness rendered.
But be didn't cut more than an acre or
two-not that time. No, the miserable
galoot went off down town with the sickle
