An Obstinate Captain.

During strong South wind the French
brig Ponthieu went ashore near Penn
ance, England. The workers Of the
rocket apparatus succeeded in throwing
a line over her, but the crew being ig-
norant Of how to work the apparatus fast
cned the line on board instead Of hauling
| it in. One Of the crew, however, hauled
himself ashore by the line. The Pen
zance lifeboat was then got out, but on
her arrival alongside the crew, although
in emminent peril, took no notice, the
captain apparently forbidding them to
leave or even throw line to the lifeboat.
Wind and sea rapidly increasing and the
vessel being full in the breakers it was
seen that it must soon break up. In vain
the liteboat's crew entreated; they were
warned off and had to leave; but seeing
the loss OF life that must ensue the life
boats coxwain determined to return, and
this time was so far successful that five
of the crew jumped off and were picked
up. The captain still remained obsti-
nate, and at length a coast-guardsman
named Gould volunteered for the peril
GUS duty of going out to the wreck
along the rocket-line: taking with
him a letter from the French Consul,
urging the captain to leave. In the
presence of hundreds of intensely excited
spectators, Gould steadily made his way,
being often under the water for several
seconds and imminently in danger of be-
ing washed off. The captain was watch
ing him from the bridge, but when under
the bows would lend no aid, and the flu
ious sea breaking over him, Gould was
washed away, and it was feared he must
perish. Happily, however, he regained
the rope and more dead than alive was
washed and dragged ashore. Meanwhile
the vessel was fast breaking up, the masts
fell over the side, the stern on which the
captain was standing, was broken off. and
it was supposed he had sunk, but present
ly he was seen among the wreckage and
mounted to the foreyard, the sail of
which somewhat sheltered him. The
coastguard fred two more rockets, and
one line falling close to the captain he
seized it, but even then seemed irresolute
to save himself or perish with the ship.
After quarter of an hour, however, the
love OF. life constrained him to fasten the
rope around him and he was dragged
ashore. Within an hour nothing was to
be seen OF the vessel but few floating
spars. The cheers which greeted the
captains rescue were by no means SO
hearty as those which had welcomed the

PAP.LE BLOSSOMS.

A lassie lives on yonder hill,
Whose step is light as air;
Her laugh is like the ripping rill.
Her brow is passing fair.
No eye SO bright, no smile so sweet,
No lip SO like cherry:
OF all the maids I've CHANGED to meet.
All, none so blithe and merry!
One vernal morn, when still the grass
With dew was sparkling bright,
I saw the loveliest maiden pass,
And Wondered at the sight,
For on her white and beauteous brow
With sWeeter charm invested
A wreath, plucked freshly from the bough
Ofapple blossoms rested.
All, ne'er did coronal SO rare
On royal head repose;
No gem of Ind so matchless fair
AS each half-opened rose.
Yet well, me thought, this lovely wreath,
With dewy drops still laden,
Betit the radiant brow beneath
OF this most queenly maiden.
She passed, but still the vision staid,
Till in my heart there grew
An image beauteously arrayed
In blossoms wet with dew.
And now-but alb! that tale is told:
Why DER it longer tarry?
That radiant brow, ere June is old,
An orange wreath shall carry.

CAPTURING A NINE.
How Thirty-two Miners Stand on the
Owners.

Semi occasionally, and sometimes
more frequently, the mine owners Of
Leadville fail to pay their miners.
Then the latter equip themselves with
good Winchesters and stand off further
work until their claims are satisfied.
The history of such trouble can be
learned from the following in the Lead
vile Herald, which is related ef the
Black Prince mine.
By bonding the mine,
the sale of ore, etc., they succeeded in
paying off all claims for labor up to the
first Of the present month, when the
miners took possession of the mine and
held 1t until the sixth, when, having
been paid, they again went to work.
On the fifteenth, however, the parties
into whose hands the mine had passed
again failed to pay. The mine in the
meantime had again been bonded, the
bond FILLING due on the nineteenth.
The bond was not met, however, and
the men were put off from day to day
with promises, until yesterday morning,
when they took possession of the mine
once more, and at this writing still
hold it. The men claim that all they
desire is their just due, and this they
propose to have. They do not propose
to interfere with the mine or property,
but will not allow anything to be taken
out until they are satisfied, as they con-
slider the property good enough for all
the claims against it. As one of them
remarked yesterday, they are tired of
the many changes Of ostensible owner
abin and are afraid that in the confu-
sion OF claimants they may lose the
wages now due. The men are thirty.
| two In number, all armed with good
Winchesters, which are said to have
done duty in other mining troubles,
and are determined not to be wheedled
out of their position. 1t is said that
there are, in addition to the claims OF
| the miners, large number, OF me-
chanics' liens against the mine. As
the property is acknowledged to be one
of the best in the camp, it is likely
that the trouble will be settled in
| few days.

has promised to come out to Canada to
row, and in that case the battle for the
English aquatic championship will be
fought out on Toronto bay.

GEN. GRANT COMING.
He VIII Pass Through Cheyenne on
Friday.

The transit of Gen. Grant across the
continent will prove long series Of
ovations. San Francisco began and
Philadelphia will end. But meanwhile
the inland towns will honor the great
man to their fullest extent. Cheyenne
is not behind in asking to honor the
general, as the following correspond
ence win show:
CHEYENNE, Oct. 20.
To Gen. U. s. Grant, er-President Of
the United States, Carson City, Nep.:
Learning that you are soon to resume
your journey across the continent, In
the name of the people of Wyoming,
who, in common with the people of all
sections Of our country, have watched
your progress round the world with
very great interest, I I,welcome your ap-
proacfi, and tender you cordial invi-
tation to this territory, and its capital.
Begging your acceptance, and that you
will indicate the date of your arrival
on Wyoming soil, with the length of
time we may hope to detain you in
Cheyenne, have the honor to be with
great respect, JOHN W. HoYT,
Governor.
The following answer was received:
CARSON, New, Oct. 81.
To Gou. Hoyt, Cheyenne, Wyo.:
Will reach Cheyenne by train leaving
San Francisco on the 28th. Thank you
for the invitation to lay over, but will
not be able to do so longer than the
train consents to stop. U.S.. GRANT.
The governor then sent another tele-
gram, asking the general to stop a few
hours in the city, provided the train
could be arranged to stop. To this he
received the following answer:
CARSON, Oct. 81.
To Gou. Hoyt.
Gen. Grant will probably pass through
Cheyenne on Friday, and will try and
stop for an hour. U. S. GRANT, jr.
This is two days sooner than was ex-
pected, but Cheyenne will turn out all
the same, and show by the presence of
numbers their appreciation of the great
American soldier and ex-president.

Sioux City, Iowa, Oct. 27.-A report
was received here to-day that Spotted
Tail's Indians in southwestern Dakota
had made a serious outbreak. Last
week a warrior shot Henry Young, an
agency employe, claiming that his
heart was bad, from mourning over his
sisters death. Agent Newell arrested
the Indian, and during the entire
night his comrades from the hills fired
on the camp, and eventually compelled
Newell to surrender him. The Indians
then rewarded the escaped warrior.
The troops are one hundred and seven
