4 The experience Of poor Charles Lamb was
especially sad. Descended from family sub,
ject to insanity, he was nervous and timid MS
y child and full If whims and fears as man.
HIS mind. rs well rs his body, had the peculi-
an marks Of congeuital weakness, and WINS o.
ten quite unsound IN his Goth year Ne had
TO be confined IN the mad-house at Hoxton for
six weeks. Ills sister Mary was likewise sul,-
ject TO attacks Of insanity, in ono of which
she killed their mother. Notwithstanding ali
this afiiiction Lambs essays are among the
sweetest in the English language, while some
of his sketches abound in the most side-split-
ting humor. The unfortunate Shelley was
like Lamb In many particulars. He was Of a
weak constitution. puny frame, eifcminate
make-up and whimsical mind. In carly youth
he was full of philanthropy, wished to see the
customs of the world overturned and became
staunch atheist. He was grossly persecut-
ed for his infdelity the government sanction
ed the seizure of his children and their cdu-
cation under other influences Aftcrwaad he
became confirmed msanthropc and wander
ed, like Byron, upon the continent Meeting
with death in Italy, his body was burned af-
ter the fashion of the aucients. The poet
Keats was exceedingly delicate and died at an
early age--in the beginning of his second
score of years. John Kitto, the distinguished
Bible commentator met with m accident in
his 18th year which rendered him perma-
nently deaf. He fell from the roof of n bouse
upon which his father. i noor stone-mason
was at work and was almost killed. The con.
cussion made him deaf and he newer after.

other houses was on the road from Phoebe
there. Fred Gilmer is picking out route to
run direct from Royal City to Pony Springs,
which, by the route, will be little over

six-horse coach from Pony Springs into Roy
al City, and from Royal City run four horse
coach to Phoebe, taking passengers either to
or from Royal City at rs cents head This
line of coaches will be necessary as before
long rush of people will be made to Royal
City that will take extra conveyances to &C

been started by a citizen of the Celestial EN-

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Washington, Oct 22.-The house commit
tees will probably not be announced before
Thursday. It is intimated by Speaker Ran
dali that they will all be announced together.
The Democratic members say there is no
doubt of Fernando Woods selection as chair
man of the ways and means committee.
Chicago, October pa Times Washing
ton special says: The house adjourned till
Wednesday, ostensibly to allow Randall to
complete his committees, but the chronic laz-
mess of the house and it's irrepressible itching
to make many speeches account for the slow
ness of it's movements better.
Butler today complimented Clerk Adams
highly, saying he thought he had acted in a
proper way in disposing of all the credentials;
that he would have done the same in the Col
orado case as Adams did.
Jones of Nevada introduced his long talked
of silver bill today, and had it referred to the
finance committee.
NJ c. Butler, the senatorial aspirant from
South Carolina, was on the floor today and
distributed his brief in pamphlet form. He
proposes to bide his time, and will not be
ready for some time yet. His brief contains
a letter from Lee, colored solicitor of Ham
burg, entirely generating Butler from COM
plcity in the massacre there, and blames
Georgia incursionists for the affair. Corbin,
his opponent, was also on the floor. He has
just returned from Europe, and denies that
he was attempting to escape arrest.
The Russian cavalry from Dobrudscha have
advanced as far as Kavarna.
A late telegram from Rasgrad says de-
tachment of the army has arrived at that
place, but the positions at Soenik and Hadik
OF are retained for the present by the Turks.
1t seems evident, however, that retrogade
has commenced.
Suleiman Pasha has gone to make per-
sonal inspection of the Notifications of Rust
chuk.
London, October Oh A Russian official
dispatch from Gorny Studen reports that, in
one of their assaults Friday, the Roumanians
entered the second Grivica redoubt before
Plevna; but during the evening it was recap
sured by the Turks.
A telegram dated Poredin, Saturday, says:
The Roumanians captured the redoubt on
Friday, after three vigorous assaults, but |
Turing the night the Turks, collecting all
heir forces, recaptured it after sanguinary
contest. 1t was expected that fighting would
continue Saturday
Bucharest, October 21.--The Russian Off
ial account places the Roumanian loss of
friday at FIVE officers and 1873 men.
A report is current that the Roumanians

A member of the Red Cross Society says
riders have been received to prepare for the

a gross exaggeration, and the number is
robably about 800 or 900.

A Book ACCOUNT WORTH HAVING.-The
Eureka Sentinel tells the following: A gen.
tleman of Eureka, of literary tastes, who
frequently sends East for the latest publ
cations, ordered, some three weeks ago,
several books from the publishing house of
Harper Brothers, and among others received
an English translation of "Ciceros Orations 1"
While turning over the leaves yesterday, he
was, somewhat surprised to find between the
leaves, twenty dollar greenback, issued by
the National Bank of Rutland, Vermont.
Astonished at the value of the book mark, he
instituted thorough search through it's
pages and he was rewarded by the further
discovery of five and two dollar notes,
making an aggregate of $27. Our friend is
puzzled to account for the presence of the
circulating medium in his volume of classics,
especially as the book was bran new, and for
warded direct from the publishing firm men
toned above. 1t may be that it is a scheme
on the part of some wealthy philanthropist to
encourage the pursuit of classical knowledge,
and if such is the case, we predict wide cir
culation for the books, and an eager pursuit
of that requirement. The fortunate recipient
of the volume, to show that there was nothing
mean about him, filled out an order for twenty
five dollars worth of the firms publications,
and sent the identical money found, in pay
ment for the same. If his next purchase pans
out as well as the last, he will repeat the order,
and thinks by following up the system, he will
soon be the owner of fine library.

SHIPPING CHARCOAL 10 EUREKA.-The
Eureka Sentinel of last Sunday says: "Some
party or parties at Truckee have been
trying the experiment of shipping charcoal by
rail from that point to Eureka, and two car
loads, of 500 bushels each, have been received.
The article was sent loose in box cars, and
transferred from the Central Pacific to the
Eureka and Palisade railroad at Palisade. We
did not learn at which furnace the coal was
delivered, but understand that the freight and
expense of handling were so large that no
margin was left to the shippers. The time
will come when the mountains in this vicinity
will be denuded of timber, when We will have
to look to foreign market for fuel for our
reduction works, but the contingency is not
likely to arise for some years, and in the
meantime outsiders cannot successfully COM
pete with coalburners in this county" Not
finding it possible to ship their charcoal at
paying rates, the Truekee capitalists will prob
abably build new line of railroad to Eureka,
as they have to Virginia City.

A BRoADHoRN DINNER.-The Winnemuc-

A very respectable gathering of ladies and
gentlemen assembled to do him honor. The
Silver State says that wine and wit flowed
freely, and toasts and speeches were INDUCED
in to a late hour when the company dispersed
with three rousing cheers for Governor Brad
ley, the noblest work of God-an honest man.
The company represented all shades of poll
tics; but for the time differences of opinion
were forgotten, and a more social gathering
was never seen in any community.

How THE CARSON Is DRIED UP.-A CORE
spondent of the Silver State writing from the
Churchill County Institute" (Which sounds
smoothlyfor county with seventy voters and
well for jail and windlass for a key to it)
describes the present condition of the Carson
River by saying that Churchill is completely
dried out and that the like has never been
known by the Oldest resident, and the Piute
Captain Breckenridge, who is quite well in
formed in English, says that the sink of the
Carson never was so low as at present. The
main channel of the river is completely desti-
tute of water for more than twenty miles from
the sink and the lake, and has been so for
over two months. Stock have to go to the
lake for water, but 1 am informed that the
water is making its appearance up the river.
