Killing A Highway Robber.

San Francisco Bulletin October 18th.
AS THE Weaverville stage was COM
ing down the mountain about thirteen
miles north of Shasta, yesterday after
noon, a highwayman suddenly jumped
from behind a bush, covering Wells,
Fargo & Company's messenger, John
McNemir, with a shotgun before he
could make any resistance, and de-
manded the treasure box, which he
was forced to hand over. The robber
started for the brush with his booty
and ordered the driver to drive on.
As soon as they were out of sight of
the robber, McNemir jumped from the
stage, ran back, got on the robber' s
track, followed him a short distance,
where he found him taking the treas
ure from the box, which he had al
ready broken open with pick. Nc
Nemer fired at him, knocking him over.
The robber jumped up and ran short
distance, when McNemir gave him the
contents of the other barrel, killing
him instantly. He then recovered all
the treasure and brought it safely here.
He left the dead body of the robber at
the Tower House.

4 slaughter Of a2o. COO Rrlrarinns.

The Cologne Gazette observes that
Bulgaria has on several occasions fig.
ured in history as the scene of .'atroc-
ltles' no less horrible than those lately
committed by the Bashi-Bazouks. The
Greek Emperor Basilius III. was nick
named "Bulgaroktonos," because he
ordered $4,000 Bulgarian prisoners to
have their eyes put out, a few only be-
ing left with one eye in order that they
might guide their fellow.prisoner
back to their homes. Even more afro
cious was the massacre of the Gothic
settlers in Bulgaria. The much prais-
edEmperor Claudius III. gives the fol-
lowing account of this massacre in
letter cited by the historian Trebellious
Pollia "Claudius to Brocchus: We
have destroyed 100000 Goths, and
sunk 1000 ships. The rivers are COW
cred width shields, their banks with
spears and pixies, and the fields with
bones no road is free from blood !;
the huge barricade of wagons is desert
ed; and we have captured so many
women that each of our conquering
soldiers can take two or three for his

Be Agreeable at Meals.

Yeu tell us to be agreeable and en-
PERTAINING during our meals. Some OF
us have not the faculty of ready
speech. What's to be done in such a
casei Ans. Every one can do some
thing to add to the social life at
the table. If one cannot talk he can
listen or ask questions, and draw out
others who can talk. Good listeners
are as necessary as good takers. New
er argue at the table but tell pleasant
stories, relate or read anecdotes and
look out for the good of all. Some
times a single anecdOte from paper
starts conversation that lasts during
the meal time. A family table ought
to be bright and cheerful, sort of
domestic altar, before which everyone
casts his or her Offering, great or
small, of pleasantness or peace where,
for at least brief space in the day,
all annoyances are laid aside, all stormy
tempers hushed, all quarrels healed !;
everyone being content to sit down to
the same board and eat the same bread
and salt, and making it, whether it be
a rich repast or a dinner of herbs,
equally a joyful, almost a sacramento
meal.
