MAIDENHOOD.

What happy star shone on her BIRTH
What grassy corner Of the earth
Grew daises for her baby feet
To dance between, since they repeat,
On all the flowerless ways they pass,
That breezy motion of the grass2
What brook bewitched her 10 its brink,
And drew her fresh lips down to drink
It's music, while it slipped unseen
Its happy cadences between p
So sweet and glad the voice that slips
From ambush of her maiden lips.
What winds upon the hills gave room
To her, and butfeted to bloom
Her rounded cheeks, and made her hair
A flying sunshine in the air p
For still, like sun-gleams on a rose,
Her Maynard color comes and goes
What graybeard tree upon the down
Caught, as she sped, her floating gown,
And whispered through his ancient girtf
The long dumb sorrow of the earth p
For the sweet pity in her eyes
Almost their gladness overlies.

the main body of the iceburg, tum-
bled down its sides with a loud,
cracking noise, and disappeared in
the depths Of the ocean.
To the north of this iceberg
were many smaller ones, forming a
very pleasing picture. This group
of icebergs lay directly in the track
of the steamer, and she was conse.
quently obliged to make a detour in
her course to avoid them. They
were safely passed, however, and
had almost ceased to form a topic
of conversation among the passen-
gers, when word was again sent
from the sailor on watch that
another iceberg was visible on the
larboard bow. This iceberg was
fully twenty miles off, but was such
an immense one that it could be
distinctly seen from the deck of tn G
steamer. 1t had a wild, unearthlV
appearance, and looked for all the
world like a mountain that was
rent and torn by assures and
chasms. 1t was tipped with snow,
which sparkled in the beams of the
morning sun so brightly as to rem
der a good long look at it exceed
ingly painful.

Whisky Jacks squaw, since the
Imprisonment of her dusky lord,
fairly haunts the neighborhood of
the county jail, spending nearly all
her time in gazing at the brick
walls of the courthouse and in
sobbing and crying, This forenoon
we noticed her looking wistfully at
the barred window on the eastern
side of the courthouse, and, know
ing her relationship to Jack, pro-
ceeded to interview her, In reply
to our questions, she said her name
was Sarah; that she was jacks
" sequaw," and that "Jack heap

piled. Then, while the tears

an anxious look at the jail. she in

really sounded pitiable "Jack

"plenty to eat and a good place to
sleep" This seemed to comfort
her, and she went over to Justice
Logan's Office and sat down on the
sidewalk and commenced to fondle
her papoose. Sarah is a pleasant
faced, bright-looking Shoshone
squaw, and very neatly dressed for
an Indian. She is the mother of a
very pretty papoose, but the color
of its hair and eyes and the cut of
its features render it a question of
extreme doubt that her husband is
in any way responsible for its pa
ternity. But she says with much
positiveness "Him Jack'spapoose."

A Naval Anecdote.

The following anecdote will be
read with interest: In 1870, Janu-
ary 10th, Sir George Rodney en-
countered the Spanish Admiral
Langara off Cape st. Vincent.
The action, which continued till
two hours after midnight, was well
contested, but the victory of the
English was complete. Langara's
own ship of eighty guns was taken,
and three ships of the line besides,
while four others were either sunk.
blown up, OR driven ashore. Ian
CARA himself was brought a priso-
ner into the Bay of Gibraltar, and
conducted to lodgings in the town.
One day, as it is recorded, the cap
tive Spaniard went out in boat to
visit Admiral Digby, in whose ship
was serving one of the young
princes, the same who in after
years became King William the
Fourth. When Langara first came
on board, he was presented in due
form to the English prince; but
when the conference between chiefs
had closed, and it was intimated
that Langara desired to return, his
Royal Highness appeared in his
character of midshipman, and,
standing before the two Admirals
as they sat, announced in the re-
spectful tone becoming an inferior
that the boat was ready. The
Spaniard, surprised at seeing the
son of a monarch acting as a petty
officer, Immediately exclaimed /:
"Well does England deserve her
superiority at sea, when the hum.
blest stations in her navy are filled
by princes of the bloodp Some
doubts, says the Navy, having been
expressed as to the truth of this
story, as related in Drinkwater's
Siege Of Gibraltar" it was re-
ferred to King William himself
In reply, letter from Sir Herbert
Taylor, written by his MajeSty's
command, and dated March "a,
1885, declares that the anecdote is
correctly stated in every respect.

Of Assassins XIII the Wrong Man.

OF Assassins XIII the Wrong Man.
Austin (Mo.) Cor. San Francisco POst.l
The driver of the lone stage
communicates the following partic-
ulars of a dastardly assassination
which was committed at Isabel's
ranch, on Reese river, about thirty
one miles from this city, about
nine o'clock at night. In order
that the particulars, as given, may
be fully understood, it will be neces-
sary to explain that the ranches OF
John Wixom and Mr.. Isabel adioin,
and that a few weeks ago the
daughter of John Wixom and the
son of Isabel were married un-
known to the parents of the young
lady. Miss Wixom being scarcely
fourteen years of age, and young
Isabel not having reached his sew
enteeLth, the match was regarded
by the young lady'S parents and
friends as being very undesirable,
and annoyed them greatly. As
soon as the wedding ceremony was
over they succeeded in inducing the
misguided girl to return to their
home, where she has since resided
Steps were being taken to have the
boy arrested for perjury in falsely
swearing that the girl was of age,
but he left the country to avoid
being apprehended. The parent:
of the boy Isabel, on the contrary,
considered the match in favorable
light, and have regarded the action
of the young lady's parents in keep.
ing her away from her husband as
an act of oppression. DIR. Wixom, a
physician Of this city, and brother
to John Wixom, sent his buggy
yesterday to the ranch of the latter,
and a suspicion appears to have
arisen that DR.. Wixom had arrived
at the ranch for the purpose of re
moving his niece, Mrs. Isabel, nee
Wixom, to this city. Later in the
evening John Stoner, an employe
of a Mr.. Becker, a neighboring far.
mer, arrived at Wixom's for the
purpose of spending the evening,
and shortly after his arrival pro
posed taking a ride in the doctors
buggy, accompanied by Barney Nc,
Cam and John Ryan. He drove
in the direction of Isabel ranch,
distant about a quarter of a mile
Upon reaching the house six per.
sons arose from the bush and
fired into the buggy, killing
John Stoner instantly. A shot
gun was pointed and discharged
at Barney McCann, who knocked
the barrel aside and escaped with a
badly burned face. The body Of
Stoner then fell from the buggy
and the horses ran away, the entire
body of the assassins pursuing and
firing into the buggy, the top and
bottom of which is riddled with
buckshot and bullets. DR.. Wixom
did not accompany his buggy to
the ranch of his brother, and the
intention of the aSsassins was thus
defeated. The assassination has
created good deal Of excitement,
and strong force is now in pur-
suit of the murderers, AS an ad-
ditional circumstance, it may be
stated that the Wixoms purchased
their ranch from W. S. Gage & Co.,
to whom it had been mortgaged by
Isabel, the latter having always re-
garded the occupation Of his prop
erty by Wixom in an unfriendly
manner

Captain Kengut of the steamship

pool, reports that at about three
o'clock on the morning of the 18th
instant, while the steamship was
in latitude 4S degrees 30 minutes
north, longitude 40 degrees 5S min
utes west, the cry of "sail ahead" "
came from the sailor on watch. In
an instant all eyes we're turned to
the horizon, where a large white
object, apparently a vessel under
full sail, was outlined against a
cloudless sky. AS the steamer
gained upon it it was seen to be an
iceberg. The night was clear and
illuminated only by the faint light
Of the stars. Towering fully one
hundred and fifty feet above the
sea, and sweeping majeStically on
ward in the current, the iceberg
glittered like a huge diamond as it
reflected back the faint light of the
stars above, and borrowed an addi-
tional charm. The iceberg had
evidently been subjected to the heat

THE Alta says: DR. Stockton of
Kern county, is making syrup of wa
ter-melOns, and as the juice is sweet
and abundant and the growth of the
melon in moist, sandy land, extremely
prolific and rapid, he Will undoubted-
ly obtain satisfactory results. He gets
one gallon of syrup from nine of juice.
This Is something that can he done,
with little expense or trouble, on ev-
cry farm where the melon will grow,
and properly managed, Will furnish
a syrup of excellent flavor, and valua-
BILE not only as a substitute for import
ed sugar and syrup, but also for max
ing vinegar and spirits. \ company
has been organized to build n mill in
Sacramento county for the production
of sugar from water-melons. The
thickening of syrup by boiling Is a
simple process; the management OF
crystaliZation of the saccharine matter,
especially that of some fruits contain
ing a considerable proportion Of grape
sugar, which resiSts equalization, Is
much more difficult 1t is said that
the melon sugar is made extensively
and with profit in Southern Europe,
and it is on the basis of that eXpe-
rience, as we are. told, that the Califor-
MAN enterprise is undertaken.
