Pluck.

The traveller in Northern California
finds that the dangers of stage riding
are no laughing matter. The wonder
is, not that accidents occur, but that
they are not more frequent. The roads
are narrow, the curves sharp. and
cling in many places to precipitous
mountain walls. Over these roads the
stage-driver guides his heavy coach,
sometimes with ton of mail matter
aboard and six horses ahead. A COR
respondent of the New York Tribune
tells an anecdotc which exhibits the
nerve and presence of mind of driver:
The stage-driver needs more cour-
age, presence of mind and quickness OF
action than go to the making of good
captain of an ocean steamer. To round
the short turns successfully he must
have his team perfectly in hand, con-
troll the coach with one foot on the
brake, and make leaders and wheelers
do just the right thing at the right mo-
ment.
Here is an anecdote of staging on
the old Placerville road, told me by q
veteran San Francisco newspaper ed
itor:
The only outside passenger on that
night was riding sleepily beside the
driver, when lurch in the coach
aroused him, and to his horror he found
the driver was missing.
The big head light and the two side
lights showed that the road was down
grade, with rocky wall on one side
and a precipice on the other. The team
was going at fast trot.
The passenger reached down to see if
he could find the reins, but his search
was hopeless, for the reins had gone
overheard with the driver.
What was to be donep The inside
passengers were all asleep. In few
minutes the coach, without guidance,
would be sure to go over the precipice.
Before he could think twice he heard q
hoarse voice, which seemed to come
from the ground, call OUT
jam your foot on the brake and hol-
Ter whoar'
The passenger 'obeyed, the team
slowed down, the people inside woke
up and thrust out their heads.
"You fellers git out and take them
leaders by the head, and I'll see if / kin
crawl out of this"
1t was the driver, who had chung to
the reins when he fell, and rolling him.
self into ball, had been dragged along
the road between the front and hind
wheels, holding on in spite of bruises,
because he knew that it was death to
his passengers if he let go.

Thought Himself q Woman.

John Talboy Binns, one of the most
noted characters that ever entered tho
Philadelphia almshouse, died in that
institution Wednesday. aged SO years.
Believing himself to be woman and
affecting voman's ways. he was dubbed
in the institution with the title of "Sal-
lie" Binns. He was admitted February
Is, 1853, and was at that time Al years
Of age. When n young man he joined
an amateur theatrical club. and the
hight of his ambition was to play fe-
male characters. He became quite
monomaniac on this subject. and his in
fatuation at last took upon itself mild
form Of insanity, and for the greater part
T his life he was thus afflicted. At all
times and upon all occasions he believ-
ed himself to be dashing beauty, at
whose feet scores of ardent suitors
knelt, and upon whom society smiled
with favor. Clad in feminine attire
whenever ball or concert was given
for the patients, he was the center of
attraction. At all times he affected an
effeminate voice in conversation, and
acted in every respect like one of the
female sex. The air of a woman never
deserted him, and everybody who visit
ed the house called on "Sallie" and
purchased specimens of his handiwork.

set. Many of those who had FASTENED to AID

ignorant voters by the multiplication Of bal
lots and boxes, and so to make IL easy for
them to put their ballots into the wrong box
es At first there was provision that these
boxes were to be kept in a closed room into
which the voters were to enter singly and de-
post their tickets without being spoken to.
This was designed to prevent a confused and
ignorant voter from getting any information
as to where his ballot belonged, but even the
South Carolina sense of fairness, or whatever
takes the place of it, revolted at this, and the
provision was stricken out-the eight ballot
boxes, however, being retained. But the law
contains q provision even more iniquitous
viz, that "the supervisor of registration shall
close the list, and in case it be made to APP
pear to his satisfaction that there is q quail
fed voter in the precinct who has failed to
register he may, upon such evidence as he
may think necessary, at his discretion, per-
NIT the name of such voter to be placed on
said list and issue certificate therefor" This
provision makes registration discretionary
with the supervisor, and enables him to put
as many fraudulent voters upon the list as he
may desire. One of the objects of the law is
to escape Federal supervision at state elections
and to keep the registration in the hands of
Bourbon state supervisors, but it seems to be
open to doubt whether the new statute does
not come into collision with the Federal cleo
ton law in such manner as to defeat this
purpose.

Mr.. Tyler on the New Appor.lonmen..

HIS SPEECH LAST WEEK IN SUPPORT OF AN
AMENDMENT PROPOSING 294 MEMBERS.
Ihad the honor yesterday to offer an amend
ment which has been printed in the Record,
providing for 294 members of this House. l
venture the assertion that it is the better iudR-
ment of every gentleman on this floor that
this House is already large enough. tits large
enough for orderly proceedings as a lepisia-
tive body. 1t is large enough for the seating
capacity of the hall. 1t is impossible to in
crease the membership of this House at all,
unless some of the aisles are closed up and
the desks crowded nearer together, greatly to
the inconvenience of members.
The present number of this House is large
enough in view of the fact that there are eight
territories some of them now standing at the
door of the Union asking foradmission; some
of them large enough to make several states,
and some of them asking to be divided into
several states and admitted as such.
We must remember that ten years hence
the great states of the northwest, on account
of their astonishing growth, will demand
largely increased representations. These are
some of the reasons for keeping the House
under this apportionment at its present num-
Der.
The number 1 have proposed, 294, is upon
the ratio of one member to l6S sos popula-
''Oh' 4nhI varies from lhls House In TINS re-
spect We find that the next largest fraction
belongs to the little state of Florida-little in
population, not in area. She has 100 600 as
a fraction, and propose to give her another
representative for that fraction, thus increas-
ing the number of this House to 294. l have
here table showing the ratio of representa-
ton, under this plan, of twelve of the great
central states of this Union. By examining
it, gentlemen will see how remarkably near
they come TO each other in ratio of represen-
tation for the members which would be &C
corded them under my amendment. This is
the table
