SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-Senator Fair in
conversation this afternoon with an Asso-

terly and keenly the notoriety given the
matter go exclusively concerning himself
and wife. He said: 81 am the man, and
Nm willing to bear all the odium which the
public, in ignorance of the real facts, may
choose to cast upon me. But my regret is
for my wife, that her name should be asso-
ciated with and incorporated in the dis
patches transmitted all over the country.
Now, as always. my desire has been to do
that which would contribute to the happi-
ness Of my wife and children. II have
in any way failed, goodness knows, it has
not been on recount Of any lack Of inter-
est in their welfare. Now, as ever, I want
to do that which will best contribute to
the happiness Of my family. II my wife
thinks a separation will contribute to her
further happiness, then her mind and mine
are alike. have done nothing to merit
the obloquy cast upon me. Those who
best know me will tell you what my desires
are in this matter. God has blessed me
with wealth, but / have never used 1t for
any mean or unmanly purpose. Ny heart
and hand have always been open to those
in distress, and they will continue to be SO

SkOb .'leT In AsItun,

When, after three days struggle with
the an'ws, the rnvlncs, the preclpices o1
tho fass of Hcmedli, during which guns
wagons, tents, even much ammunition haC
to be abandoned, Skobeleff's tired column
emerged on the valley of Tundra and came
face to face with Vessel Pasha's army,
which had just VIGOROUSLY driven back
Radctsky's and Mrzky's columns, General
SkobeleH rode along the liuc informing his
men that there was no ratrcat-aIl that
was left to them was dea'h. glory, Or
alter pausc-shame. Death or glory!''
was the cry. with loud huzzas for their
loved and devoted leader, and right nobly
did they vlndlcate their choice. Many
instances of his consummate courage and
eoolness in danger are already well known
TO readers in Western Europe Let me
add one or two. On the day before the
assault on the Green Hill redoubt at Plcy-
Ma, was with him On vine covered
rid which commanded a view OF the
Turkish position. Skobclcff was making
prt parations for the assault. lie had from
personal inspection made a plan of the
surrounding ground, and was, quite in
view OF the enemy, making a serlos Of
sketches Of the exact points and Of the
ground leading t. them, which were to be
the objects Of attack bv each OF his batal-
ions. The Turks opened fire. a. titst tho
shells were short; then they flew overhead
but suddenly two shrlekod unplcasantly
near. One burst within few yards of
where Skobeleff WAS sitting on camp
stool drawing, and he and the paper were
covered with tho frlable soil of the ylne-
yard. Without q word Or q wlnce he
simply shook tho SOIL off the paper and
finished the preparation Of his plans, or
defing his staff, when he observed that
the fire continued exact, to lind cover un-
der a sloping bank some twenty yards off.
At the battle of Senova-and refer to
this engagement frequently because the
details Of 1t arc aImo t wholly unknown in
England--Skobeleff, mounted On hlH white
charger, went out alone to reconno;ter the
Turkish position. Of course he was tho
mark tor pretty hot fuslllada from both
infantry and artillery. Suddenly shell
appeared to strike the ground rsght be-
meath his charger and exploded. Thous-
ands thought that his tenerlty had at last
brought the death he seemed tv court.
But when the smoke cleared away the
white charger was observed plunging gal
lantly onward, and his rider, unharmed,
soon afterward, rejolned his own troops.
Skobelon told mo that when the helI ex-
ploded he was almost sutfocalcd with the
sulphurous smoke, and that for a moment
he actually believed Aia hour had come.
The plunging Of his horse, as 1t were,
awoke him from the shock, and he was
able TO finish his survey unnery yed 1t
would be wearlsome 10 multiply instances
OF his escapes or his daring.

felt his left thigh give way or leaving Its

could not last much longer. Tho pain and
loss of blood were telling on him rapidly,
but he determined to sell his life as dearly
as possible. Whenever an opportunity
offered he buried his trusty knife in tho
body of the bear, who showed some signs
OF weakening. His left knee cup also re-

The coach road is o narrow old road
whore two carts can hardly pass one
another, with high banks and sharp
turns, and it IL haunted. There Is a
spectral coach that Is said to frequent
this appalling land. WHO the restless
spirit may be, none can tell, or how
long he has been travelling about in his
weird conveyance, but that he has been
long q wanderer in his coach, which
ever and anon appears among us, none
would be so;persevere a. to question.
Indeed, the phantom coach travels far
and wide through Norfolk, and stops at
peoples houses in the dead of night.
An unseen hand let's down the steps,
the horses clamp their bits and snort,
the carriage door is slammed, and the
thing moves oil: but when people pre-.
pare to let in the unexpected visitor
with kindly weIcome-loI there is moth
ing. The coach has gone. There are a
dozen living men who most positively
affirm that they have had visit from
tho conch. On one occasion, my iu-
formant, who lived III q lonely old
farmhouse, saw the flash of coach-
lamps, aud heard the ohamping of the
bits. He opened lis bedroom window
and called out, but, receiving no an
swcr, he went down to the front door.
The night was calm md still, the stars
were Shining; but there was neither
voice, nor any that answered, nor any
that regarded.
No harm seems to come to such as
receive these nocturnal visits, but it ls
the prevalent belief that tho occupant
of tho coach is condemned to walk like
tho Wandering Jew. Presumably he
would prefer to ride on in his chariot
undisturoed. But no. He is turned
out to pace the earth, which preadvent-
ure he has polluted with some ghastly
orlme, anu walk he must until the
coach comes to pick him up at some
appointed spot. Then it is thought
that he has another term of "vehioula1
traffic. A coachy Sisyphus, condemned
to everlasting alterations of being drop
ped and picked up again by an Internal
chariot, with snoiting horses and fash
ing lamps, must have II very, very hard
time of it. This dreadful equipage
seems to have somo connection with an
old house, tho traces of which were Oh
