by his friends, and thus the elaboration
of the affair contributed to its harmless
ending in quite satisfactory way. OF
course the House was greatly aggrieved at
what had occurred, and so solemn repre-
mand was administered to the offenders,
and after they had both apologized they
were forgiven, though one stern member
wanted tohave them expelled. It was not
creditable episode, but most people will

ordinary building. 1t was to have been
exploded by means of cap, upon which a
hammer, acted upon by spring, was made
to fall when the lid was raised. The
hammer acted perfectly, and the cap
was exploded when Mr.. Hayward

This box was similar to that described,

matter was placed in the hands of the
Chief of Police of this city, who was in

was Thomas johnson, 1918 Lincoln street,

Nehemiah j. Owen, a native of New

his residence, Ne. 935 Howard street, some
time last evening. The deceased roomed
with young man named Fairbanks. Yes
terday morning Fairbanks accompanied the
deceased to the Pacific Pottery Yard, No.

ployed as clerk. They parted there, and
at o'clock yesterday afternoon Fairbanks
returned to their room, when he found the
door locked and the key on the inside.
After knocking several times and receiving
no response, he went to the Pacific Pottery
Yard and informed G. D. Clarke the man.

gether to the room, and, on finding the
door still locked, and being unable to OBJ
tain any response to their summons for ad-
mission, they went to Sixth street and
informed officer Peyser of the affair. The
officer accompanied them back to the house,
and, securing a ladder, he placed it against
the side of the house and entered through
the window. The deceased was found in a
sitting position on the floor, his back rest
ing against chair. A long penetrating
cash on the left arm, between the elbow
and shoulder, severing the artery, showed
how the deceased had died. crockery
basin filled with blood stood near the body,
and an open, blood stained razor was found
lying on stand at the head of the bed.
The deceased must have bled terribly, for
blood was scattered over the entire apart
ment. Owen was a married man, and

Yesterday at O'clock the steamer Belgic
carried to their native land fourteen Chi
nese lepers. This step was decided upon
some three weeks ago, but no public men,
ton of it was made, for fear white passen.
gers would not 90 on the steamer if it was
known. Colonel F. A. Bee, Chinese Con-
sui, was notified of the action intended,
and it is reported that he instituted thor
ough search Of the Chinese quarters for
lepers. Only one was found, and he, with
the thirteen at the Twenty sixth. street
Hospital, was taken to the dock few mo-
ments before the steamer left. Super
visors Stetson and Taylor stood on the
gangway and handed out the passage tick
cts as the lepers went on the steamer. A
number of them were so far gone that they
were barely able to walk. Each one of
them is supplied with small amount of
money, in order that they may not be
destitute when they reach China. Colonel
Bee has telegraphed to China, and the dis
eased men will be taken from the steamer
at Hongkong to lazar- house near Canton,
on tug boat. The Supervisors do not be-
lieve that there is leper now in this city
Two cases of leprosy still remain at the
Smallpox Hospital. One is white man
and the other negro.

SoMNAMBULIsM.-The Napa Reporter of
December 2lst is responsible for the fol-
lowing:
A young man of our acquaintance a
while ago got up from his bed, dressed
himself, went to the stable while it was
pitch dark, harnessed work-team of
horses and put them into a wagon. The
boys father had been awakened by the
noise of the barn-door opening, and got up
in time to observe the greater portion of
his proceedings. The sleeping boy, after
hitehing up, got upon the wagon, drove
through . very narrow gate to a pile of
manure and loaded up. He then took his
course for the field to sprinkle the load,
when his father put stop to his further
somnambulistic proceedings by shaking
him into /. wide-awake state. The boy was
employed at least half an hour in the above
way, and when awakened was completely
oblivious to everything that had trans
pired.

Ever offered in Ireland, but no man replied,
though they. grievously needed labor, and SO
the crops began to droop. Fifty farmers

harvest the crop. The people of Mayo and
Sligo DIDN'T care, they were only amused
But the fifty volunteers went roundabout
way to Dublin and besought the Lord Lieu
tenant to send the army to protect them.
[Laughter] Why? They feared riot, but
there was no earthly danger of it. Well, the
men were sent to Boycott's. and he pointed
out the fields. The leader, however, asked
for breakfast for the men, and Boycott told
them they would have to cook for themselves !;
and SO they did, and helped themselves lib
his lawn, tore up his flowers, and damaged
his stables; aud then Boycott telegraphed to
the Lord Lieutenant to take them away
quickly. [Laughter] What demonstration
did the people make? None As a Govern.
ment officer reported, 1.-THE idea az a
revolution breaking out here is absurd. y
The crops gathered, Boycott put off
to Dublin, where he complained that
be had received threatening letters
(which be wrote himself), and so posted
off to England for safety. And now the mos.
