CHARLES KINGSLEY AND THE BOYS
His sympathy with the sports of boys
was naturally strong and keen. One
morning. he told me that some OF his
land in Hampshire was within reach of
the boys of Wellington college, when
they were abroad engaged in paper
chases. Young rascals," he said,
they play the mischief with my fences,
too. One day, a great gap was pointed
out to me in one of my fences, abd l
was told that 1t was made by those
young fellows. So got wind of their
next paper chase in my direction, and l
went out to read my friends lesson
respecting the property of their neigh
bors. Sure enough, before long l saw
the hares' coming straight toward me
and my gap, and 1 prepared to meet
them. But when they were close uT on
me, the excitement OF the chase, which
had been for some moments coming
over me, got the better of my resolu'
ton; and if l did not throw down my
stick and tear off with them as fast as
my legs would carry me! In hundred
yards or SO, / was dead beat, and when
the pack came, minute or two later,
and set to work to break down my fence
worse than ever, had not the breath
in me to demonstrate with them, even
if l had had the inclination. Good
Words.

PRINTING OFFICE SECRETS. - The
Brunswick Telegraph says that a prop
e.ly conducted printing Office is as much
a secret society as Masonic Lodge.
The printers are not under an oath of
secresy but always feel themselves as
truly in honor bound to keep secrets as
though they had been put through
triple oaths. ANY employee in print
ing office who willingly disregards this
rule in regard to printing Office secrets,
would not only be scorned by the breth-
rem of the craft, but would lose his po-
sition in the office ct once. We make
this statement because it sometimes
happens that communication appears
in newspaper under an assumed sig
nature which excites comment, and va
rious parties try to find out who is the
althor. Let all be saved the trouble of
questioning the employees or attaches
of the printing Office. They are know
nothings" on such points as these. On
such matters they ".have eyes and ears,
but no mouth" and if they fail to OBJ
serve this rule, let them be put down as
dishonorable members of the craft.

just as he went out the last shot was fi.-
ed and another fall was heard, Then
all was still, and a minute afterward
John Beckel, the owner of the house.
entered. When Officer Henkin arrived
he heard many conflicting stories, and
q score of terrified men and women fol-
lowed him up stairs. He forced the
door, but was prevented from opening
it entirely by what proved to be the bo-
dy OF Davis Jeroslaw lying behind it.
He was still breathing slightly, and he
had small bullet hole on the side of
his right temole. Goldman's body lay
face upward at the other side of the
room, but the apartment was SO small
that the bodies were not four feet apart.
One bullet had entered close to the right
ear, and another had penetrated the
right temple. He was almost dead. A
small seven barrel revolver was clutch-
ed in his stiffening fingers. and weap-
on precisely similar was lying by Jeros-
law s side. Four of the chambers were
empty and Goldman's pistol seemed to
haye been fired twice. The plaster had
been knocked from the ceiling in two
places by the bullets, and broken pane
showed where third ball, and perhaps
others, had passed through the window.

BEFORE JUSTICE SMITu.-The
trial Of Chas. Palmer, charged
with assault with a deadly wea-
pom, was concluded this after
noon. After hearing the argu-
ments of counsel, the Court
found him guilty of assault and
battery and fined him s25 and
costs. The point on which the
difference between a simple as
sault and an assault with Il dead
ly weapon, seemed to turn. was
whether in threatening complain
ing witness with pistol, the de-
fendant had any intent to inflict
bodily injury, which the evidence
failed to prove, so he was found
guilty of the lesser offence. An

was shot by his ex-partner on election
day still lay yesterday where it had fall
len, in the top room at 106 Delaney
street. The rooms underredth are oc-
cupied by a family named Wideman.
One of the girls was alone in her room
at about clock on Tuesday afternoon
and heard violent struggle overhead,
and Immediately thereafter number
Of pistol shots fired in such rapid sue
cession that she could not count them.
A heavy fall followed, and. supposing
that the stove had been overthrown in
the scuffie, she ran from her room
shrisking fire. The occupants of the
rooms quickly congregated
on the landing. They, too had heard
the pistol shots. A hand-to-hand strug-
gle was evidently still in progress above
when David Parison, the tenant of the
room. entered the house. He went up
stairs and found his door bolted, and
the sounds within were those Of death
struggle. He ran down stairs and went
out, as he said, to summon policemen.

"Why, you've been ighting!'
"Yes 'm." he meekly replied, as he
leaned on the rail.
And some one has blacked one of
your eyes" she continued, as the tears
came.

E To-day saw old General Sutter,
Oh whose land gold was first discovered
in California, stepping out Of car on
the avenue. A more pitiable instance
of great old age. uncompensated and
neglected, I never knew. 1t was in his
milI-race near Sacramento the precious
gold dus: was first seen by Americans.
He is q native of Switzerland, but went
to the Sandwich Islands to cultivate
oranges, and thence to the Pacific coast
of America. where lie took large tract
of land under Mexican grant, with the
hope that the United States would,
some day, stretch out to him. But it
came. like Jupiter to Dame, in golden
shower, and the rush of miners trampled
over his fields. killed his herds and
made desolaticn in place of the fair es-
tate they had found. From that dis
covery came the most enormous tribute
Nature ever paid to man. The present
years yield of gold in California cannot
be less than 800. 900. 900 in specie, and
while this immense runnel of wealth
has been flowing for more than'.a quars

and bankers have been made by:its po-
session, poor old Sutter, on the brink
of the grave. is unable to find an ear in
which he can tell his story. He is now
pore than so years of age, and lives in
little cottage at Litiz, Pa, where he is
educating his grandchildren at Ger
man school. The whole world has been
exercised by Ralston's fate and Flood &
O'Brien 3 fortunes; yet here is the man
at the source of this mighty romance
with scarcely place to lay: his head.
He is kindly, gentle old person. but
be has passed his age. Some morning
during the session there will be an an

Walking into the sleeping. coach at Mil

in the hope offinding this distinguished
gentlemen cogromon- or else to place
it there. and it was with something of a
tremor that he inquired:
What might be your name. sir?"
"My name? Gen. Beauregard, sir"
A modest, unassuming gentleman
sitting within an arms length of the
tall, bony Mississippian, looked some
what curiously into his face and smiled.
A mon ent later a Louisiana delegate
called out, "Gen. Beauregard." and the
Mississippian was about to answer.
when the quiet and unassuming French
man arose from his seat and passed out
of the car. AS the Mississippian recog-
nized the features of Gen. Beauregard,
he slipped away into retired corner
and declared that he was henceforth on
ly private citizen with no more lofty
tide than that of plain Vicks-

a descent upon cabin situated on
Jackson creek, about three miles below
town, for the purpose of arresting a
gang of highwaymen who have been
plying their vocation on quite an ex-
tensive scale in the way of robbing
stages, etc.. in Calaveras county and
other counties for the past year or more.
1t had been previously aseertained by
Sheriff Thorn that three of the gang
had been making their headquarters in
the cabin above referred to, whereupon
be obtained the assistance of Detective
Hume and the other gentlemen men
toned for the purpose of making the
arrest, correctly anticipating that some
trouble would be encountered in sap
turing them. The officers approached
the cabin as cautiously as possible; but
one of the robbers, who had caught
sight OF them before they got into the
cabin, jumped through back window,
and made hasty retreat to the chap
parel near by. Upon seeing him Dep
uty Sheriff Ross started in pursuit of
the fugitive, when the highwayman
turned upon and fired shot at him
from large six-shooter, bnt the shot
did not take effect, and the highway
man continued his journey to the chap
parel. Ross Immediately returned the
shot with his pistol, but missed his aim
also, and the highwayman made his es-
cape. Meanwhile the other officers had
entered the cabin and captured the two
remaining robbers, both of whom are
Austrians. After "going through" the
cabin and discovering quantity of arma
aud ammunition, large supply of pro-
visions, and number of crucibies and
other suspicious-looking implements,
which were evidently used for the pur-
pose of melting up and otherwise rem
dering gold and silver bars unrecogniz-
able, the prisoners were brought to
town and safely lodged in Jail. The
officers are still in pursuit of the es-
capped highwayman, and feel confident
they will soon succeed in capturing
him. Sheriff Thorn has been busily
engaged for several months III ferreting
out this notorious gang, and he thinks
that there are now only three of them
at large, as one or two of them were
arrested at Auburn at the same time
that TIE arrest was made here, on the
authority of dispatch sent TO the Of
ficers of that county, and another hav-
ing been arrested in Calaveras county
As to the guilt of the parties arrested
here last Wednesday there can scarcely
be doubt. as Sheriff Thorn says he is
already in possession of sufficient evi-
dence to convict them.-Amador Dis
