At low tide at Monterey, CAL, a part

At low tide at Monterey. CAL, a part
of the wreck of the vessel, formerly the
Natalia, can be seen, though very few
who see it are aware that she is or was
the ship on which Napoleon Bonaparte
escaped from Elba 63 years ago, to
revive his broken power by his immence
personal magnetism, and lose it forever
on the memorable field of Waterloo.
The old vessel. now slowly going to pieces
in the Pacific. has local history. She
brought to California, in 1884, the colony
OF Hijas, whose members intended to
settle in what was then Sonoma County.
Not liking Sonoma. they returned to
Monterey and gradually dwindled into
indistinction, typified by the ship that
had transported them thither. Itis odd
that some enterprising Snowman like
Bsrnum has not carried off portion or
the whole of the wreck of the Natalia,
and put 1t in o museum to aid the COM
mon mind in its effort to understand the
character and genius of the first captain
of modern, or perhaps of ancient, times.
Fragment of the ship in which the
great Nepoleon escaped from Elba"
would be to the many an alluring ouri-
osity and q bit Of material history wthal.
Tybo Sun: Traveller, (our informant
did not learn his name), while crossing
the White Pine mountain on Wednesday
of last week, came near loosing his life
by water-spout that descended in that
vicinity. He was following trail on
horseback down the mountainside. when
be heard rumbling noise above HIM.
and turning. discovered that vast volume
OF water at least ten feet high was rapid
ly approaching him. There was only
one chance of escape, and that was to
jump from his animal and climb one of
the steep banks that rose abruptly on
either side of the trail, which be did just
in time to save bis life. The horse was
taken by the flood and rolled and tum-
bled down the ravine some hundred
yards, where the owner found him, after
the water had subsidized, lodged among
the rocks and rubbish, dead. The poor
animal was bruised and torn in frigthiul
manner. and stripped off everything but
the rope that was fastened about his
neck. It was indeed narrow escape.

The foregoing true statements certain
ly show great economy in both mine and
mill. 1t will be difficult, we think, to
make an equal showing in any other sill
yer mine on this side of the continent,
or. in fact, in any other locality. The
property is under tho sole charge. as
Superintendent, of Mr.. George F. Will
liams. The officers of the company, re-
siding in San Francisco, are L. l.. Rob-
inson. Thomas Bell, w. ?. Dewey, Alex
ander Forbes and Louis Janin. Trustees;
L. L. Robinson President, Thomas Bell
Vice President, Bank OF California
Treasurer, D. F. Verdenal Secretary.
Since the mill was started at the close
of the year up to August l. 1878, it has
turned out in bullion about $475, 900;
has paid in dividends 100000; has quite
cash surplus on hand. and has also
paid for purchase OF properties, Con-
struction of mill. legal expenses, and
loss by its Treasurer, Cross & Co., about
$l15,OO0; also, for discount on bullion
and charges on same, and contingent eX-
penses, about $4,000. No assessment
was ever levied or paid upon its stock
capital of 10000 shares, and the COM
pany now owns its mine, mill, water
rights and property Of all kinds, inolud.
ing supplies on hand, free of debt. This
is certainly pretty big showing for a
small concern. situated in southwestern
Utah.

Matrimonial matters are 30 very uncer-

only be mentioned among the possibilities
The bride looks much like her father in
many points of character, and he was, as

case the engagement is consummated, it
Is probable that Bennett will make his
sister gift of the Fifth Avenue House

Bennett bequeathed his entire estate to

ARABIAN DECE1T.-The Arabs OF Egypt,
80 travellers say, believe that to tell lie
in the morning insures good luck for the
rest of the day. 1t is their favorite way
of beginning the twenty-four hours. II
liar is found out he is chagrined be-
cause he has not lied cleverly enough.
should his lie prove successful he is as
proud as if he had been promoted to q
lucrative office.
The native servant of an English Of
ficer hired boat to transport his master
some two hundred miles on the Blue
Nile for twenty-five Turkish dollars. The
Armenian owner Of the boat was called
before the Pasha to ratify the bargain.
Seeing that it was a European who
wanted transportation he declared that
it was impossible that his Captain could
have let the boat at such low sum. The
Captain was sent for and confronted
with the servant.
Catching the owners eye the Captain
looked at the servant with surprise.
Lifting up his hands and his eyes to
heaven, he exclaimed:
~ swear by my beard, by Allah above,
by the prophet, and my eyes"-a solemn
oath with Mohammedans- that I never
saw this man before! How, then, could
I have let him the boat for twenty. five
Turkish dollars?"
The Englishman was forced to pay 9
higher price. But as soon as the parties
left the presence of the Pasha. then the
Captain, going up to the servant, and,
bursting into hearty laugh, asked:
"Don't you think can lie well?"
