day i'll MERGED county, have just been
received III that city. He WAS visiting
his sheep range on Deadmans creek,
near Plainsburg, intending TO begin
shearing rs soon as the weather should
moderate sufficiently, and he had gang
of men employed for that purpose. The
camp of the shearers was on high
ground, overlooking gulch, which ut
this point runs between high and pre-
eipitous banks, and Smith occupied u
cabin lower down and close to the edge
OF the gulch, Late on Wednesday af-
ternoon, the weather showing no signs
of abating, he left the pen, and, accom-
panied by Portuguese, went to the
lower cabin. Shortly after, the shear
ers on the hill above heard rushing
sound, quickly succeeded by terrible
roaring and cracking, as il every rock
and boulder on the mountain side had
been torn from its hold, and was being
hurled along the bed of the gulch.
They knew i'll an instant what had hap
pened, and realized the irightful posi-
ton of Smith and the Portuguese. They
rushed toward the cabin, yelling at the
top of their voices for the doomed men
to leave the cabin, and the latter evil

disappeared in the boiling waters. The
scene passed like frightful vision be-

bank, and for n moment they stood rs if
paralyzed. Az soon as the water sub
sided somewhat search was made for
the unfortunate victims, and the body
of the Portuguese was found the next
day about two miles below the scene of
the catastrophe. The body OF Mr..
Smith was not found until the next day,
having lodged among the rocks about
five miles below the camp. The only
injury found upon the body of Smith
was bruse on the forehead, and there
can be no doubt but that he was drown

boulder. The cause Of this sudden de-

Car Nicholas and his Doctor.
London Globe.


On the 2ud OF March, 1855, when it
was known that the Gar Nichols had
died, wild excitement increasing
from day to day, burst forth against his
favorite physician, Mr.. Mandt, the
more readily suspected because he was
q German. Busy calumniatols spread
the news abroad in all circles that the
guilt of the emperor's death lay at the
door of his Prussian doctor. Mandt's
family, who were then ut Frankfort,
were in the greatest terror, when their
fear was removed by dispatch from
81. Petersburg stating that the present
car, Alexander, had taken up he de-
fence of the illuminated man, having
called him into his presence, thanked
him for his care Of his father, and pre-.
scented him with n magnificent gold
stuff box, richly set with diamonds.
The doctor, it appears, has lett be-
hind him detailed account Of the
last days and hours OF his imperial
patient. Almost his only friends at
court besides the czar himself, were the
heir to the throne and the Grand
Duchess Helena. He was an object of
violent dislike to her husband, the
Grand Duke Michael. When the car
Was taken i'll Mandts mesner foes
whispered about that he would poison
their master The Grand Duchess
Helena warned him of the plots against
his reputation and person. Her hus.
band called him into private room.

would seize me by the collar, but my
GOODNESS seemed to make some impress

self by shaking his fist in my face, and
exclalming 'traitorp An excited con-
yersation passed between them, and
the prince ended by saying: "0n the
day upon which the precious health Of

Nicholas himself was worked up into
temporary suspicion Of the fidelity Of
his doctor. One day, upon feeling him.

self better, the car said: "Mandt, do
you know that / believed yesterday
that you were bent upon poisoning
me ?" II knew it, sire" replied the
doctor. "Tnen do not forget" observed
the emperor, that you have enemies
here, and many of them" On the
night of of the 81 of March, Mandt had
to tell the car the fateful news that his
recovery was impossible. Nicholas re-
ceived the information with great calm
ness. He ordered the sacram ent to be
brought, took leave of the empress, his
children..snd grandchildren, kissed them
and blessed each by name With firm,
clear voice. 10 the empress he said:

TINE IN PARIS.
How the People Keep 1t from Hanging
Heavy on Their Hands.
The Persian.


You may talk about the marvel of
pneumatic clocks, the convenience of
monster omniouses, the rapidity of
communication between one quarter of
Paris and another, but ii is no use try
ing to show that the Parisians have no
time to spare, or that they are ever in
hurry. They have no such time that
they do not know what to do with it.
They waste their time like child
wastes his gayety, or a rich man his
gold. They squander it looking at the
stars in heaven or the water flowing
under bridge. Did ever anybody
calculate the time spent by the Paris
ians in reading postersH When dog
banks at cat, when two sparrows make
love to each other on roof, when q
canary has escaped into the street, at
once crowd assemblies, 80 per cent. of
which does not know what it is all
about. The marriage of corner gro
Ger with the daughter Of the cheese
monger almost excites riot; the pass
age of coach and four causes grand
excitement; the Parisians will stand for
hours with their feet in the mud TO see
procession which will not pass until
the next day if it pass that way at all.
The Parisians are children who amuse
themselves by playing at business like
schoolboys playing at war. The only
difference is that they have taken their
amusement aa serisilr. If pneumatic
clocks did not exist, and if the day
were only four hours long you may be
sure that they would find time to play
dominoes and hang round church
door to catch glimpse of the bride.

concealed all the next day. had OF
course to sLate my business to the off.
Ger, as | must have his aid, and he,
the simpleton that he was, related the
whole story to his wife after they had
retired. Thus it naturally came
about the day, while ! was ly.
ing shady, but planning how to capture
the burglars, the woman was retailing
my plans to the neighborhood. When
night came there we're six OF us ready
pounce upon the burglars, but there
were no burglars to be found.
The fellows had got wind OF tn e affair
and were of, and ] had lost the second
only reliable clue to the Arnold muir
der which had been ever able to find.
Sometimes after this, while in the city
Of Rochester, caught sight Of hand
resting on the window.sill Of horse-car
"a large red hand. The hand was
nothing strange, but the thumb was
missing.
l did not wait an instant to think.
leaped from the car, entered the other
and there sat my friends OF the stage
coach on either side OF the owner Of the
hand-"a big man with red hair and
whiskers." They all jumped up as
entered, butt hung fast TO Luke, and
soon had the bracelets on him allowing
the others to get away. He had no Idea
who was, and took care not to hint at
the charge against him until had him
back at l..
My arrival created much exciten ent,
a. pursuit of the murderer had from
the first, been deemed hopeless. Many
commended that had not secured the
right man, and Luke professed never
to have been in that part of the state
before. The child was several miles
away from the village, but / sent for
him. 1t had been a year since the
murder. Little Jack had almost for
gotten the circumstance, and Of course
the murderer had changed some; but |
had strong hopes that tho child would
be able to identity the man, and was
not disappointed.
Waiting until evening, l conducted
Jack into room where Luke and a
dozen citizens were sitting. The little
fellow had no knowledge of what we
intended, and Tor some time did not see
the murderer. When he did he uttered
a loud shrek, ran to me, and exclaim-
ed:
There's the big man who hit grand
pa and grandma"
Luke braved it oat to the last; even
when the purchaser of the watch testi.
fled to his identify he kept a bold face,
and went to some pains to attempt to
prove M alabi; but when convicted,
mainly on the testimony of Little Jack,
who shivered and trembled at the
sight of the man, the prisoner knew
he was done for, and cried out in
anger.
well, am the mani saw the boys
eyes looking at me after had finished
the old 'uns, but | had done enough,
and could not kill him, curse the brat!
| now regret nothing except that l did
not split his head openl"
And standing on the gallows, about to
be launched into eternity, the man
used his last moments to curse the
child witness who had cow icted him OF
the awful crime.

The four new Methodist Bishops all
wear white neckties, high silk hats, and
no moustaches. Bishop Warren is tall
slim, has brown hair and whiskers of
the same color, trimmed to point I'M
der the chin. His eyes are brown with
BLUSH tendency, there is nothing re-
markable IN their expressions, and his
nose is rather prominent. In walking,
he buttons up his dress coat and takes
long steps. Bishop Foss is tall thin,
digniiied, and near view shows him
to be really good.looking. His fore
head is square and high, his eyes very
dark, and his hair iron gray, as are his
whiskers, which extend under his chin.
His nose is Roman. He has the air of
au educator, the manners of Il gentle
man. and is endowed with considerable
personal magnetism. Bishop Hurst
has II strong face, large, lustrous eyes,
n Grecian nose, overarehng eyebrows,
and a high, rounding forehead. His
hair is rather thin, inclined to be sandy,
and generally looks as If he had Just
run his hands through it. His only
facial adornment is a small goatee. He
stoops little in the shoulders and
holds his head forward, giving the chin
a slight upward inclination. He wears
a Prince Albert coat closely buttoned,
aud looks like man of distinction.
Bishop Haven is not more than FIVE
feet five or six inches in height, and is
SO slim that it is doubtful if he weighs
more than 80 pounds. He has a
sharp, protruding nose, small mouth,
and rather unmarked features gener-
ally. He is getting bald, and his hair
is almost white, which, with his be-
nevolent expression, makes him look
venerable.
