W BDN RBDAY,
A SINGULAR STORY.

The lady mentioned in the following is
well-known in Carson. We copy from a San
Francisco special to the Chronicle of last
evening: About 8 o'clock this morning
detective Jones and officer Peckiupah went
TO the Brooklyn Hotel to arrest A. Ii. Man
scn on a warrant from San Mateo County,
whore he was wanted to answer to the charge
of arson and assault to commit murder. Pro
ceeding to Manson's room Jones knocked,
and when Manson spoke called him by name
immediately pistol shot was heard. The
officers forced the door without delay and
Manson was found fully dressed, except his
coat, which was lying over chair, pistol
beside him and ball through his brain. He
was still breathing, but died in about an
hour The following facts were obtained
from the Sheriff of San Mateo; For several
years past Manson has been occasionally EN-
plOyed to do carpenter work at Laurel Hill
Seminary, San Mateo, Miss L. A Buckmaster
principal. Ia the Summer of 1870 Manson
and Miss Buckmaster were married in Phila-
delphia while attending the Centennial. The
marriage was kept quiet and did not come TO
light until the return of Mrs. Manson, last
spring. Manson preceded her some months,
and in the meantime was busy putting up a
cottage near the seminary. On his wife's re-
turn it became evident that Mansons habits
were such as would make his residence at the
seminary detriment to the institution, and
his wife refused to allow him to take up his
residence there, though it is understood she
supplied him with funds when he required
them. Becoming desperate at this condition
OF affairs, he went to San Mateo last Sunday
might, aud it is believed set fire to the build
rings. At all events, about half-past II P M,
Mrs. Manson, who had just fallen ssleep,
was aroused by his presence in her bed-ro
He called her attention to the fire, which was
blazing up briskly, and then saying, eve
will end the whole thing now" He began
firing at her with pistol. In the struggle |
which enSued she managed to escape from the |
room with a slight flesh wound in the arm |
and fed to the house of Sheriff Green, near
by. Here screams aroused the people, and |
by the assistance of the neighbors the fire
was quenched. After burning the cottage
Manson disappeared and was traced to the
city, with the result as above described.

THOSE CHARGES OF VIOLATING THE
GAME LAW.

Yesterday we saw letter from our old
friend w. Halsey. The subject of the COM
munication was the charge, recently made by
a contributor to the Virginia City Stage, that
he had been killing birds out of season-also
that Judge Rising had been the receiver of
some quail, etc. Mr.. Halsey denies the charge
altogether, so far as himself is concerned. He
says he has not killed quail since the last
game season; and that so far as Judge Rising
is concerned, the contraband 'quai" with
which he is charged of being the recipient,
were dozen or SO of doves-which birds are
always in season. So it seems thst there was
a great cry and little wool; also that Fish
Commissioner Parkers conclusions were Just
and correct-as usual We are glad of this
chance to set things right.

KELLEY'S CONCERT.

Those who failed to attend the performance
last night missed the most surprising exhibit
ton of violin playing ever seen
here since Camilla Urso. John Kelley
handling of the bow is something marvellous
both in regard of its skill and its delicacy
of touch. Unfortunately, a piano could
not be procured, and so we missed Mrs.
Kelley's share of the performance. Johns
voice is still its own strong, full baritone.
His banjo rings, as of old (; and the old fun
and genius are there Mr.. Kelley will give
performance at Empire tonight, and We
advise our friends the re to be sure and attend.

POETRY.
= The Unseen Preacher.

He spoke Of souls that stopped and sinned,
OF hearts that turned to roam;
He spoke of human restessness,
OF exile and Of home.
OF earth's eternal vagrancies.
80 slowr' he cried, ito start
And throw thy truant childhood back
Upon thy Fathers heart.
"That life must walk uncontrolled
That leans not on His breast:
They only know that God is Love
Who learn that God is Rest"
He spoke, and on bis lifted face
The pIophei's halo crept:
Like reeds within his outstretched hands,
The people bowed, and wept.
But in the chancel's solemn shade
She saw glamour sweet.
"Beloved!' said she "was it you
Fled by with flashing feet;
ACROSS the holy desk and book,
Beside the holy man,
Swift as thought, and silent as
Only the vanished can.
"Passed and stood listening, poised there
AL in dream of light
Paused 10 attend the sacred Word
As only spirit might?
"As angels must, then, pity me,
So tempted and SO blessed!
And teach me how, o loved and lost,
To 60 to him for ret
"oh teach me how, when any world
Or dark, or bright. DIM
Containeth thee, to give my first,
My best of love to him!"
