A CORRESPONDENT, writing from CO.

Of this county met on the 25th, and the
delegates were instructed to vote for

Humphreys as second choice. The
Convention was nearly equally divided

WessOn, in the same county, prior 10
the meeting of the Convention, says
" A desperate effort is being made for
Lowry, but should he be nominated,
there are many who will vote for
Humphreys, or net at ALL" We hope,
however, that all Democrats will vote
for the nominee. The aspirauts are all
good men and each worthy OF the suf-
frsges of the people, II nominated.

Humphreys is vastly popular with the

have instructed for him, the choice is,
in nearly every case, unanimous. The
Jackson Clarion very truly says: zone

Humphreys fully comes up to this

to no particular part OF the State. He
would be 9 representative candidate in
a sense that could apply to no other as

accepted as coming from the whole

The Mistake that a Coyote Made.
From the San Francisco Post.

From the San Francisco Post
BY the Senator which arrived yesterday
Mr.. Wolcott of this city brought two
young black eagles for Woodwards Gar
dens. He states that this specieiof eagle
is rare almost to extinction. They were
secured by him on very elevated por-
ton of the Serpe range Of mountains,
about seventy miles northwardly from
Santa Barbara. Having previously OBJ
served the parent eagles sailing down in
to the valley, he climbed tree twenty
feet above the ground before branch
was reached, and then ten feet more to
the nest, some of the sticks composing
which we're as thick as mans wrist.
With some difficulty he secured the
young birds, then about three weeks old,
and bout the size of chickens. He sue
ceeded in decamping with them before
the return Of one of the old birds, which
came back shortly afterward with young
lamb in its claws. Though the old bird
saw Mr.. Wolcott, it did not see the young
eagles he had, or there would have been a
square fight. Returning to the house at
which he was staying, the birds were Sc
cured in pen and kept three weeks.
They are now about six weeks old, about
two feet in height and can dispose of
jackrabbit or so at a meal without indi-
gestion.
A few days ago a coyote visited the
house and destroyed all the chickens.
The eagles were then placed in the chick
en- pen, and on the next morning the
coyote returned to get some more chick
ems, and, under the impression that these
eagles wonld fill the bill, got hold of one
of them, which also got hold of him by
inserting its talons in the nose Of the lat
ter, but was unable to drag him into the
pen, the coyote being equally powerless
to drag the eagle out. The coyote then
concluded that he did not want any
more eagle at that time, and expressed
himself to that effect loudly, but too late,
inasmuch as Mr.. Wolcott's attention was
drawn to the spot, when he shot the
coyote to relieve the misunderstanding.
He says that the full grown eagles of this
very rare species are eight feet in spread
of wing. four feet in height and scarcely
any man or animal could avoid being
stunned if attacked by them in their
usual manner,by pushing with the breast
