with Q number of other residents, volun
teered his services. A company was rails
ed. all good men. and he was elected cap
tain. Much to their disappointment the
government decided to keep them IN Cal
tlOrnla, andthey were ordered to HUMBOLDT
Bay. Akeyss head was turned BY the au-
thority conferred upon him. and be began
q series Of petty prosecutions which almost
drove his men mad. They bore 1t for
months, until IL passed beyond the limits
of endurance, and they resolved to end 1t.
This resolve took the form of q determine
tion never to obey another command of
Akeys. This was nothing NOR nor less
than munity, and was punishable with
death: but the boys preferred that to the
tyranny under which they had groaned and
suffered 10 long.
An order had been received to proceed
from Humboldt Bay to the Red Bluffs, and
Akey went by way of the ocean to San
Francisco, while the company crossed the
mountains. They were encamped on the
bank of the Sacramento river when he
arrived, and the crisis came as soon as he
put his foot IN camp. He called the COM
pany on parade and ordered all those who
had resolved to repudiate him to step two
PAGES to the front. Ninety men, the entire
strength, firmly took the steps. The
sheriff of Tehama county was with him,
and, turning to that officer, he asked if he
would assist him in arresting the orderly
sergeant. The officer replied that he
would, and the two started to do so, when
they were both covered with so revolvers,
the ominous click of which sounded pain
fully intense. The sheriff took to his heels

ing. The color never left his face,
nor did a tremor disturb his equanimity,
although he fully realized that the men
were thirsting for his blood. Nothing but
his bravery saved him, for they had fully
determined upon killing him, but as he ran
his eyes up and and down the line
and said:
"Boys, the odds are too much" they res.
dected his courage, dropped their weapons,
and allowed him to retire. The upshot Of
the affair was that he was relieved Of his
command, and, after an investigation Of
the circumstances, was discharged from the
service. There was at first a determination
on the part of the government to court
martial the soldiers, but the ofense was
finally condoned and they served out their
term of enlistment, doing good work for
their country. 1t is the only instance Of
the kind on record of q mutiny going un-
punished"

A BEREAvED OFFICIAL.
The Domestic Affections which Caused
Minister Welsh to Resign.

I vvC404A " nC81kuS
From The Philadelphia Ledger.
When Mr.. Welsh left this country for
England, at the close of November, 1877,
there was a family of six brothers and sis
ters, knit together by the closest affection.
Since then one of the brothers and two OF
the sisters have died. The first to 20 was
William Welsh (early in 1873, the young
est, and seemingly the strongest of the
brothers, though he, Notwithstanding his
activity and vigor, was we'll advanced in
years. His death was as sudden az if the
sun were to vanieh from the unclouded sky
of an autumn afternoon. This was a severe
shock to the brother absent in England
for to him absence was added to intensity
the grief of the family at home. Then
followed, in the month of June, this year,
the death of a sister, Mrs. Anna Lapsley,
to be closely followed, early in this month
DULY by the death of another sister, Mrs.
Elizabeth Horner. One sorrow trod upon
another's heels, so fast they followed.
There are now but two brothers,
Samuel and John, and one sister, Mrs.
Dulles left. His desire to be relieved
from duty was made known to the
government sometime earlier than the de-
cease of either of the sisters, but the resig-
nation has been held in obeyance until now.
While MI. Welsh's residence in England
has been in every way agreeable, his official
relations very gratifying in their character.
and the discharge of bis duties in all was
acceptable to both the government be rep
resented and the government to which he
accredited. his heart was less in high official
and dignity than it has been with
the people at home. He went to London
the president of the United States
thought it would be to the advantage of the
to have q citizen and merchant of
his character and position as a representa-
tive there. The president asked him to go,
and be, being of the old school, to whom q
request Of the chief magistrate is a COM
mand under such circumstances, obeyed the
call, at some sacrifice to his own personal
desires. interest. and comfort. While he
has been at London as American minister,
it has been again demonstrated, as it was in
the case of Abbot Lawrence, that the inter-
ests and dignity of the government and
people of the United States are in safe Gus
tody when in the hands OF an American
merchant.

It is estimated that Europe will be COM
PEELED 10 pay out to foreign countries, for
bresdstufs, during the coming year not less
than $780, 900, 900, and that one'half this
sum must come to the United States. The
ravages of storm and flood haye, in many
portions of Europe, swept the growing
crop out of existence, and have in all por-
tions largely decreased the yield. As 1t is
the foreign demand which regulates the
price of American cereals. we can look for
q profitable return for our seasons agricul-

northwest averages we'll in yield and quail
ity and with the prospects for high prices

usually prosperous business season. The
desolated condition Of European grain
fields almost SURPRISES the worst record OF
all the past. According to the New York
Herald's cable dispatches, torrents OF rain
have fallen in Great Britain from the l9th
ult. up to the latest advices, with only s
brief respite of q day or 80. While the
British Isles were deluged, in France, Bel
GUM and Germany heavy rains prevailed,
greatly damaging all manner Of growing
crops. The London News correspondent
telegraphs,from Pesth Of crop failure. He
says, harvest in Hungary is a failure" In
reviewing the European crop situation, the
the New York Commercial Bulletin, quot
ing French opinions says:
IN. Lepere, at a recent ministerial coun-
Gil, said that France would require to pur.
chase from 500.000,000 francs 70 OO,OO0.O0O
francs worth of cereals the ensuing season,
