ed by four men, who attempted to rob the
express messenger. Two Of the robbers
jumped on the engine, compelling the en-.
gineer and fireman to do as directed,
while the other two boarded the express
car. The express messenger, however,
proved too plucky and repulsed them.
He thinks he shot one Of the robbers,
rs he was only three feet of and dropped
when the messenger fred. The robbers
escaped, but are hotly pursued by COM
petent party, and as their trail Is plain,
there is little doubt Of their capture.
The robbers had previously bound and
gagged the agent Of Dodge station and

A CALIFORNIA MINING STORY.

Not many miles from Shasta City says the San
Francisco Bulletin, is the gulCh of which the fol-
lowing mining story is told. 1t is pretty deep
ravine, with rocks showing all the way up the
sides, Gold in paying quantities had been found
along the stream, but II seemed to disappear q
few feet from the channel One day, while q
gang Of busy men were toiling in the stream, q
stranger, evidently green at mining came along
and leaned on ragged elbows to watch with pro-
truding eyes, the results Of theirtoi The miner
nearest him took out FIVE dollar nugget and
anxiety overcame the greenhorn. "s.aa.y," he
asked where can go to diggin' to find 1t lika
that?"
The hardy miner stopped his work, and giving
the wink to all the boys, so that the Joke should
not be lost, pointed up on the barren rocks where
n0 gold had ever been found. ,"Ye see that rough
looking placer" "Yes, yes" said the new hand.
"Well, thar 1t is rich. Jes ye stake out q claim
an go ter work, an when we finish here, wen
come up too" Then the new man thanked the
honest miner, and the boys all grinned in appre-
citation of the joke, That afternoon there was q
solitary figure picking away on the slope, and ev-
cry time the miners looked up they roared with
laughter. But about the next day the greenhom
struck pocket and took out something like
$50 900 in few minutes Then innocent TO the
last he treated all around, aud thanked the mine
who sent him up there, and took his money and
went down in the valley and bought him farm.
Then the unhappy miners arose, leaving their old
claims, and dotted that hillside for days. But
there were no more pockets anywhere. The.
whole thing reads like the traditional fairy story.
But then saw the guleh. Much more unbeliev.
able things have happened in the Mines

THE IIKADO.

Mr.. Bingham gives the following account Of a
character Of very great interest:
"The Mikado is young man Of perhaps twen'
ty six years ofage, well educated according to the
Japanese standard, and shows desire to adopt
the modern mode Of doing things. He is lineal
descendant OF family which is undoubted near
ly three thousand years old and which has held
continuous rule, though not as temporal mon
archs. Prior to the restoration, and during an
interregnum OF more than two hundred years, a
number of princes held a sort OF federal sway
persuading the people that the MikadO was too
sacred being for human eyes to behold, and
succession OF monarohs were thus cunnlngly i'm
INJURED In the holy palace and held in reverence
as spiritual rulers Now, however, the Mikado
gives annual receptions and is almost as popular
in his policy as Democratic Governor"
