A PROUD MAN. The proudest man
in Gold Hill, on Sunday last, was
Brutus Blinkenberry. He swag-
gered about town with his hat over
his eye, and when he met a man he
knew he would shake him by the
hand in a bluff, manly fashion, then
cry out: ''Come an take a drink,
old fellow. By Jove, I got away
with Mrs B. last night. Yes, sir; 1
belted blazes out of her in a square
stand off. She's a bigger woman
than I am, Jones, but you bet your
life she won't start in on B. Blinken-
berry after the dressing down he
gave her last night. Come an take
drink" To-day Blinkenberry is a
changed man. His arm is in a sling,
and the right side of his head looks
like the half of decayed water
melon. ''She got even with me last
night, that woman did. If you'll
believe me, boys, she took advan-
tage of sleeping man. Took ad-
vantage Of a sleeping man. gentle
men, and started in on me with a
skillet. .''-GoM Hill Ne,cs.
TRot BILE :, SPAIN.-The recent
acts of religious int olerance in Sp in
are attributable to TIE influence of
the ex-Queen Isabella, who holds a
court of her own at Santander. The
ex-Queen Christina also has her
court, and as both the royal ladies
claim the restitution Of their prop
erty, intrigues, religious aud politi-
eel, are numerous. Isabella has pre-
sented portraits of herself and her
children to the generals of the Span
ish army, but with what purpose
it is impossible to imagine. Many
of them would prefer pictures more
attractive. Spain is not in an an en-
courageing condition; but what pro-
gress or peace can be expected of a
country governed by two women and
a boy?
y blind Swiss, girl, who is an
adept at fine needlework, recently
sent to the Emperor of Germany a
table cover exquisitively worked
with her own hands, and to avoid
the appearance of having sent the
present in expectation Of getting
something in return, she omitted
her address. and simply signed her
self "a Blind Girl in Switzerland. .
The old monarch was so pleased with
the gift, and the manner of sending
it, that he caused the German Min
lister in Switzerland to ascertain the
girls name and add ~ess, whereupon
he sent her valuable brooch and
an autograph letter Of thanks
/ Miss KATIE BOYLE, a young lady OF
! Sacramento, visiting at the residence Of
George Weber, in Davisville, was awak
ened on Friday evening last by an IN
usual noise, and suspectiEg that brig
lars had gained admittance, Jumped oct
of bed, seized two derringers that were
lying on the bureau and boldly stepped
! into the hall, where she confronted two
| desperate looking villains. The sound
rels took to their heels the moment they
perceived that the lady WAS well armed
and determined.

Mary Lyon landed in Boston ha.bor on

Bishop Whipple illustrates tue cost OF
the Indian war rather strikingly. He
recently remarked to correspondent Of
the Omaha Herald that if len soldiers
were placed in line with an Indian a,
one end, and the American people could
be brought to understand that in order
to secure the scalp of that one Indian il
would require the sacrifice of the ter
soldiers and an expenditure of $500, ,00(
in money. they might be led to inquire
whether the scalp was really wolth the
outlay.
