IL the Carson Tribune of last
evening we find this little item:
"Judge F. X. Becktel arrived on
the stage this afternoon from
Bodie. He is en- route to the scene
of his boyhood days in Pennsyl-
vania. The judge has resided in
Bodie since 1862. His implicit faith
in the mines has been finally re-
warded, and he returns to his East
ern home a wealthy man.
On Friday last man named Oar
rolton, here in Virginia City, fifty
years of age, blew his brains out,
A day or two previous he remarked
to a friend that he had a daughter
eighteen years of age, to educate
whom he had sent money East; that
his daughter had recently married
a gentlemrp there; that they were
coming here to see him, and that
he would rather die than have his
daughter come here and find him
poor. lie was discharged a few
days since from one of the mines.
He had drank heavily for two or
three days, and on Friday borrowed
a pistol from q friend, and, bidding
him goodbye, turned around and
blew his brains out. The cases of
Becktel and of the suicide make,
between them, a pretty good history

His Adventures and snObbIshness
at Windsor Castle.
New York WOrId.l
After many days a version which
we believe to be absolutely authen-
tic reaches us from England of the
part played by the youthful Mr..
Jesse Grant in the ex-Presiden-
tisl visit of his parents to Wind
sor Castle. Among all the amusing
and grotesque accounts of the little
episode which have already seen
the light, no one perhaps has quite
matched the truth. 1t seems that
when the youth, who had been ex-
pected to accompany his elders, ar
rived at the abode of royalty, he
was received by an equerry, who
politely provided a place for him
with the royal household. When
this was intimated to him he was
much incensed, and exclaimed that
he would go back to London if
he was expected "to dine with the
servants" 1t was explained to
him that the household of the
queen was chiefly composed of per-
sons belonging to exalted orders of
British society. When he learned
that he would be expected to hand
in to dinner lady who in all Eng
lish houses would take precedence,
by at least twice the length of the
longest train ever meditated by
Worth, of his own sister, now the
wife of a British commoner, the ire
of Master Jesse cooled and he gra-
eiously submitted to his faite. AS
is the custom in the awful abodes
of royalty, the household circle
after dinner joined the royal circle
in the drawing-room. Perceiving
that his venerated father was con-
versing with the majesty of Eng
land, the still aspiring youth calmly
walked up and nudging his sire,
gracefully observed: "Father
