In the olden times, in Plumas county
a man WINS arrested for murder, tried, con.
y;cted and sentenced TO be hanged. The
cose was taken to the supreme court on
anneal. Finally a decision was filed
affirming the judgment of the court be-
low. and directing that the defendant be
resentencel to death.
In those days the Sacramento Union
was about the only paper circulating in
that remote county, and whatever APP
peared LII Its columns was taken as being
undoubtedly the fact. The number con-
tanning the supreme court decision ar
rived at the county seat, and the sheriff
saw 1T. anti concluded that the matter was
settled finally. So, walking into the jail
be addressed the defendant with:
well, the supreme court has affirmed
the judgment i'm your case; it's printed in
the Sacramento Union"
rs it?n said the prisoner! "that's
rough, but | guess I'll have TO stand it. y
s.Well,n said the sheriff, II have got to
hang you +: you have been i'm here q good
while, an expense to the county, and the
sooner the thing is over, the BETTER"
There is no use in being in a hurry
said the prisoner; 'give fellow chance
to get ready" t1f
ssHow will the first of next week suit
you ?" asked the sheriff.
@Oh, what's the use of all that hurry
Call /. the last of the week."
'Wel, we will split the difference and
call it "Wednesday afternoon" said the
officer.
This was acquiesced in by the party in
interest, and at the appointed time he
was taken out and hanged.
At the opening of the district court. at
the following term, Judge r. I'll. Taylor,
now OF Virginia City, who was then on
the bench, inquired of the clerk if the re-
mittitur had been sent down. and, being
advised i'll the affirmative, said:
II guess we had better have the prison.
er brought up this morning and resen-
fenced" ......,r'
He was rath,r surprised when the
sheriff innocently informed him that the
law had already been fully satisfied, and
that the criwinal had been sent before a
court whence there could be no appeal

AROying Turk.

The late sultan, who was very proud
OF his fleet, had ordered the captain oil
one of his finest vessels to proceed to
England, in order to convey his cOmpli-
ments TO Queen Victoria on some public
occasion-the birth of grandchild most
probably. The captain was most happy
to obey .he-cOmmands of his sovereign,
Only he had not the faintest idea of how
to get to England. However, he started,
and as long as he was in the Mcditerran-
ian all went we'll, but as soon as he gotOut
of land, he was tiguratively, as well as
literally, all at sea. He contided his
trouble to the pilot, who advised him to
follow certain steamer which was then
Just before them, and which was under
way for England. The captain followed
the pilots advice, and for some hours all
went well, till niglltfall, in fact, but the
night proving foggy, he lost sight of his
friendly guide, and was i'll Gispair. Morn
ing dawned, the fog cleared away, and
there in the horizon was visible the
smoke of Il steamer. The captain has
tened to bring his vessel up quite near to
tie steamer, and followed patiently, per-
severingly in its wake, One day passed
then two, then four, then week, and
still no land visible.
Il did not know England was so fan
off," sighed the unhappy Turk.
Finally, land appeared-a noble bay
a vast city. The steamships cast anchor.
and the authorities came on board. They
spoke English as was to have been eX-
pected. aiZ
What is your business here 2" asked
one Of the officials of the captain of the
Turkish frigale. rI fa
Il came to present the. compliments Of
the sultan to your queen"
What queen?"
Queen Victoria, of course--am | not
in England ?"
lin England? You are in New York
The unlucky captain, having lost sight
of the English bound guide during the
first night of his voyage. had come UP
with d steamship en- route to the United
States. And this story has been literally
true. = 81 -

testing her ability 10 endure somewhat protracted
journey by carriage. They had ridden a mile or two
when Mrs. Prentice who found herself able to enjoy
the excursion much beyond her expectations proposed
going further, and finally expressed strong desire to
visit that weird and extensively known locality near

he sprang toward her with tho utmost OF his strength
