The robbing OF the stage between
Eureka and Phoebe, of which mention
was made in the dispatches day Or
two since, is described by the Eureka
Sentinel Of the 10th. The driver was
alone on the stage. There were no
passengers. The robbing took place
at the mouth Of . canyon about miles
from Pinto. The rogues were dis
guised with masks and wore linen
busters. The Sentinel says:
The robbers so: about six hundred
dollars in coin, which belonged to diff
ferent parties in Hamilton, Ward and
Phoebe, and four certificates OF five
shares each of Crown Point mining
stock. The letter in which the stock
was inclosed was found, but the cor
tificates had been distracted. By ref
erence to al advertisement in another
column it will be seen that the public
has been cautioned against negotiating
for the stock, as its transfer has been
stopped on the books of the company.
This is the first stage robbery that has
been committed in this vicinity for
nearly two years-the last one being
committed in the valley about six
miles north Of here and resulted in the
serious wounding of Jim Miller, the
messenger. 1t appears, however, that
the boys are on the road again, and
the probabilities are, unless arrested
soon, the couple will engage in one or
two moro enterprises of the same kind
before jumping the country. We be-
lieve no clue has yet been obtained in
regard to the identity or whereabouts

A tutor of one of the Oxford colleges
who limped in his walk, was some
years after accosted by a well known
politician, who asked him if he was
not the chaplain of the college at such
q time, naming the year. The doctor
replied that he was. The interrogation
observed, II knew you by your limp"
"Well," ssid the doctor, sit seems
my limping made a deeper impression
than my preaching" "Ah, DOCTOR"
was the reply with ready wit, cit is
the highest compliment we can pay a
minister, to say that he Is known by
bis walk rather than by his CONVEX
sation."

THE PROSPECTS OF SILVER.

The prospects Of silver at this time
| are much better than they have been
| for long time. The last report of the
London Board of Trade sets forth tina!
| the demand for silver for India has
| risen from Sl4,OlO, 900 in 1875 to 49,
| 735, 200 already in 1876. There has
been some talk about demonetiziDg
silver also in that vast region, but 1t Is
| not ut ali likely that any such policy
| vii, be adopted. The land through
out the whole peninsula is the prop
ertv Of the Government, whether that
| Government be that Of the English or
the native princes. It is let by them
to nliddie-men, and by these, again,
| to the ryots or peasants, in small
patches. There is, therefore, an enor-
nous mass Of small rentals to be dis
| c;Iarye'i every year, for which gold
. would no. answer even, # enough OF
il could he obtained. Silver, from
rency Of India, and if there were no
economic reasons against the snbsti-
tuition OF gold for it, the political
would DO conclusive.
Another fact is that it is now pretty
we'll established that the German
movement for the demonstration Of
silver has been ut least a partial fail
ure. 1t is authoritatively stated that
the next German Parliament will be
asked to increase the amount OF silver
coinage. Even in subsidiary capac-
ity the great mass Of the transactions
of every day life are discharged in sil-
yer. Small trades, provisions, wages
by the day and the like cannot very
well be paid for or discharged in any
other currency. Gold cannot be d.
vided up SO as to buy loaf Of bread.
or cigar, or pipe, or to pay for tri-
fling services. If even tho whole of
civilization should adopt the gold
standard there would still be use for Il
vast amount of silver. The present
production, large as it is, would not
much more than suffice to renew the
annual losses from abrasion, ship
wreck, fire, boarding and forgotten
boards, supply the demands from the
arts and meet the Asiatic wants,
which will always continue 70 DO
great.
Again, our Government Is purchas-
ing aud coming silver about as fast as
the Mints can work. This has cre-
ated @ demand for fifty millions OF
silver, about one half Of which has al
ready been supplied. When it is all
in circulation there will, Of course, be
the regular annual demand
to make good the deficiencies from
the causes above set forth.
The Latin Monetary Union will re-
quire not less than $4,000, 900 silver !
for the coinage Of 1877. There IS no |
statement that any of the nations COM |
posing it have yet laid in the store |
necessary for that purpose.
These facts indicate that there will |
be quite brisk demand for the lste!y !
40 much despised metal with the !
opening of the new year. II the de- |
nand from India continues on the in
crease, and Germany has to draw on
! large portion of the silver which it
has on hand for an increase Of silver
this cannot very well help
being the case. 1t may turn out also
hat the sellers will have q voice next
year in fixing the price. The buyers
lad it all their own way for the greater
,art Of the year that is now drawing
o closets. f. Bulletin.

Exasperating.

To show anew that truth may be
stranger than fiction, the Chicago 7ri-
bune tells this story: A remarkable
occurrence took place last week on Wood
street. A humble cottage on that street
is tenanted by young couple who last
year made their bridal tour to California,
Oregon, and Washington Territory.
While engaged in salmon-fshing on one
of the rivers, the bridegroom was so un-
fortunate as to drop in its current val
liable diamond ring belonging to his wife.
The loss of the gem, was, of course,
mourned, but after awhile the incident
was forgotten, nor was it recalled till last
Thursday evening, when the young hus
band, returning late at night from taking
stock, discovered that his wife had pre-
pared for supper can of salmon. Tax
ing it up he looked carelessly at the
label, and said: Why, Marion, this sal
mon was put up at the very place where
I lost your ring last summer. Wouldn't
it be odd if salmon had swallowed it
and been caught and canned at that very
factory and put inte this very can, anc
we should find the ring in it?" His wife
answered him jestingly, but he said: g
don't know how to account for it, but
have sort of a presentiment that / shal
find that ring yet in some such roman
tic manner" She had scarcely said
"Don't be goose. GUS" when her ey,
caught the glitter Of something metalli,
in the can, and she fairly screamed
Goodness, gracious me, what's that ?
Her husband, who was scarcely less ex
cited than herself, removed the foreigl
substance with a fork, when, what wa
his surprise to discover thatit was indee,
big lump of solder that in soldering tn
can had fallen into its contents.

MOId Girln-the Lioness.

The death of the lioness "Old Girl, " SO
well known to Dublin folks, was attended
by touching incident. When dying,
old lions are much tormented by rats
gnawing their tails. During health they
rather welcome the vermin, and lie
blinking at them as they frisk about the
cage, nibbling the bones left from their
(t6e lions) dinner. To prevent this an
noyance, a terrier was put into "Old
Girls" cage. At first she growled, but
when she saw the dog "fetch" the first
rat, toss it up and catch it in profes-
sional manner across the back, with one
quick, fatal snap, she drew the brave
animal to her, licked it and fondled it;
and in her shaggy breast it slept every
night, with her great protecting paw
over it. During the six weeks of the
lioness' illness the rats had rather hard
time of it. "Old Girl" had borne fifty.
four cubs, and hadreared fifty, bringing
in by the sale of her progeny FL 300 tc
the Gardens. She was the handsomest
lioness ever reared in the country.-Lon
don Letter.

John Randolph in 1914.

In the recently published reminis-
cences of the late George Ticknor, we
find the following on John Randolph, to
whom Mr.. Ticknor paid visit in 1874 !:
The instant Ientered the room my eyes
rested on his lean and sallow physiogno-
my. He was sitting, and seemed hardly
larger or taller than boy of fifteen. He
rose to receive me as / was presented
and lowered half a foot above my own
height. This disproportion arises from
the singular deformity of his person.
His head is small and until you approach
him neal, enough to observe the prema-
ture and unhealthy wrinkles that have
furrowed his face, you would say that it
was boyish. But as your eye turns to-
wards his extremities everything seems
to be unnaturally stretched out and pro-
tracted. To his short and meagre body
are attached long legs, which, instead of
diminishing, grow larger as they ap-
proach the floor, until they end in pair
of feet. broad and large, giving his whole
person the appearance of sort of pyra-
mid. His arms are the counterparts OF
his legs; they rise from small shoulders,
which seem hardly equal to the burden,
are drawn out TO a disproportionate
length above the elbow, and to a
still greater length below, and at last are
terminated by a hand heavy enough to
have given the supernatural blow to Will
liam Of Deloraine, and by fingers which
might have served as models for those
of the goblin page. In his physiognomy
there is little to please or satisfy, except
an eye which glances on all but rests on
none. You observe, however, a mixture
of theswhite man and the Indian, marks
Of both being apparent. His long
straight hair is parted on the top, and 8
portion hangs down on each side, while
the rest is carelessly tied up behind and
flows down his back. His voice is shrill
and effeminate, and occasionally broker
by those tones which yeu sometimes hear
from dwarfs aud deformed people. HI
spoke to me of the hospitality he had
found in Philadelphia, and of the pros
pect of returning to comfortless home
with a feeling that brought me nearer tt
him for the moment; and of the illness o
his nephew Tudor, and the hopes that i
had blasted, with tenderness and mel
ancholy which made me think better o
his heart than Ihad before. At table b.
talked little, but ate and smoked grea
deal.

4 Portuguese sportsmann.


He had some experience Of woodcock,
hare, and red-legged partridge shooting,
and likewise of hunting, with dog and
gun, wolves, which he never by any
chance shot. This fact dees not astonish
ANYBODY who has seen a Portuguese gun
loaded. A small handful of native and
almost harmless powder, a little grass or
a leaf or two, and an equal handful OF
shot of all sizes, rammed down with a
huge wad upon it of extempore manu-
facture, constitute the charge. The gun
is fred, the wolf escapes, and, what is
more remarkable than this, the sports
man who holds the gun escapes. The
dogs are usually as unsuccessful as their
masters in catching the feet-footed wolf;
nevertheless, the wolf continues to be
the favorite sport of the Portuguese.

ries Of uncaught wolves, and was more

crow-shooting near 0porto. Grows

Martin Bailey, aged nineteen years, SON of
Francis Bailey, fell into a lock at Locking
ton, about twelve o'clock at night, recently,
and was drowned. The lock being half
full of water, and the gates closed, he could
not get out. His cries were heard, but it
was supposed to be some enc going home
from church. The body was found next
morning.
The Ohio Agricultural College, having
been granted the lands belonging to the
State in certain counties, is looking after
lands of that class in Pickaway county. In
numerous old surveys of military lands the
real quantity considerably exceeds the nom-
inal quantity of land, and it is the ascer-
tanned overplus to which the college is seek
ing TO establish its claim. Several wealthy
farmers of Pickaway, it seems, will be re-
quired to pay for or part with portions of
the land they supposed themselves owners
Of, ranging from fifty to one hundred acres
each.
An old farmer named Jacob Allen, a
bachelor who lived alone, was found dead
in his cottage in Spencer township, Hamil-
ton county, a few mornings since, surrounded
with evidences of terrible struggle for life.
A blood-smeared corn-cleaver was found on
the floor, and several CHASTITY wounds on the
old farmers body. Revenge, and not rob-
berry, is supposed to have instigated the
crime, as no money or valuable property
was carried away. A woman who had for.
merly worked for him, who had sued him
for her wages, and with whom he had some
trouble, was arrested, with several of her
relatives, on suspicion.
Rev. J. M. Robinson, a preacher in charge

ghastly wounds in the neck. He had been
greatly depressed in mind for long time

and fat-boats were more numerous than
steamboats,, fuviatile navigation was full

gamblers, and explosions. Snags and
gamblers were as thick as mosquitoes in
the brake; and the engineer who could
not excel in a race had no other honor

their failure, they did an enormous busi-
ness, butsat an actual loss of fifteen cents
on every hundred pounds Of sugar turned

production is now SO much lessened that
the market is regarded as approaching q
normal condition, and an improved de,
