AURI0L THE CLOWN.

Auriol, the celebrated French clown,
whose death was recorded few days
ago in the columns of the Partisan press,
was a man of remarkable courage, cool
ness, and ready wit. During one OF
his professional tours in Russia he got
into terrible scrape, from which. how
ever, his presence of mind enabled him
to extricate himself. He had been en-
gagged, while at st. Petersburg, to per-
form at a private entertainment given
by a wealthy nobleman resident in the
Basil Island. 1t was in the depth of
Winter, and the Neva was frozen hard.
Auriol dressed himself in his clowns
costumes at his lodgings, wrapped him
self up in furs, hired sledge, and
started for his destination, instructing
the driver to take the short cut across
the river. Probably tempted by Auri-
OILS costly pelisse, the driver, tall,
powerful fellow, pulled up suddenly
when about half way across, jumped
down from his perch, and, letting fall
the reins, turned toward his fare with
menacing gestures. A moments hesi-
tation would, in all likelihood, have
cost Auriol his life; but he proved
equal to the emergency. Throwing of
his furs, and revealing himself to his
would be assailant in the motley garb
of his profession, he sprang out OF the
sledge and proceeded to execute some
of his most amazing gambols on the ice.
Paralyzed with terror by so terrific an
aspiration, the driver made one inef
fectual attempt to cross himself, stag
gered forward, and with an agonized
cry of "The fiend himselfl'' fell fiat and
motionless upon his face. Without
further loss of time Auriol slipped ON
his furs, picked up the reins, jumped
into the sledge, and drove off, safe and
sound, to fulfill his engagement. Next
morning the drivers corpse was found,
stiff and stark, lying face downward on
the frozen breast of Neva.

We want it understood that the
LxpaER is in favor of keeping the
Sabbath day, the ten commandments,
and the rest of the BiAe-old and
new testament, but we also admire
consistency. 1t is rather amusing to
listen 10 resolving and %resoluting that
Tom, Dick and Harry shall do So
and-so, while at the same time they
do as they please. Certain prominent
parties want you to shut up the stores
while either they, or their servants
for them, to u certain knowledge,
patronize those stores every Sunday.
consistency thou art q jewel" II
you have sons, husbands Or fathers
who break the Sabbath, talk to them,
reform them, keep the Sabbath your

have sons or husbands who drink,
reform them before you s'prohibit''
other persons sons and husbands.
Talk is cheap. The tree shall be

ranch, living on wild game, with
plenty of milk and butter. As the
mail carrier passed down every day,
from the foot of the range, I recelv

length it cleared and l took the buck
board to the foot of Timber Hill, and
thence on horseback to Poll Creek, a
distance of thirty miles, where 1 ar
rived at 10 o'clock p. m. In the
morning walked to Watson's at the
foot of the range, remained all night,
and at 4 O'Clock the next morning
started on foot and crossed over by
8 O'Clock. I was accompanied by a
g%entlement and his little five year
old son (the first male child born in
Silverton) The little boy made the
trip without complaining and refused
to be carried by his father; and what
we considered hard work, he enjoyed
as a frolic, he frequently slid down
steep places for several hundred yards
and sometimes rolled over and over
like a ball. l think he was the gam.
est piece Of humanity I ever met.

season of the year, and has not crust.
