of those chasms."

AS to mimicry the giraffe has the
most astonishing power of any animal,
says DR.. II. w. Mitchell. Inhabiting as
it does the forest of Africa, and feeding
upon the boughs of trees, its great size
makes it most conspicuous object. Its
most dreaded enemies are the stealthy
lion and man. In the regions it most
frequents are many dead and blasted
trunks of trees, and its mimicry is
such that the most practiced eye has
failed to distinguish giraffe from a
tree trunk or a tree trunk from giraffe
1t has even been said that lion has
looked long and earnestly at giraffe
in doubt whether it was tree or not
and then skulked away.

The Constant Heart.

Saddle songe is out of season
When brides and lovers mate,
When soule to soule must pave swete toll
And fate be joyned with fate;
Saddle songe and wofull thought controle
This constant heart of myne,
And make newe love treason
Unto my Valentine.
How shall my wan lippes utter
Their summons TO tho dedde,
Where nowe repeate the promise swetc,
So farre my love hath hedd ?
Ny ohely love What musicke Hsot
Shall crosse the walle that barres?
To earthe the burthen mutter,
Or SINCE it to the STAIRS.
Perchance she dwelles a spirite
In beautye undestroyed
Where brightest STAIRS are closely sett
Fare out beyonde the voyd;
If Margaret be risen yet
Her locke will hither turne,
knowe that she will heare it
And all my trewe heart learno.
But if no resurrection
Unseale her dwellinge low,
If one so fayre must bide her there
Until the trumpe shall blowe,
Nathlesse shall Love outvie Despaire,
whilst constant heart is myne)
And, robbed of her perfection,
Be faithful to her shrine
At this blythe season bonding
lie whispers to the clodde,
To the chill grasse whore shadowcs pasae
And leafesse branches nolde;
There keepe my watche, and crye-Alas
That Love may not forget,
ThatJoye must have swifte ending
And Life be laggard yet !

ran into the valley in the winter, has
discharged itself down the cafon, but
that discharge will be stopped by the
dam, and tbs little pond that usually
remains there, will be turned into q
beautiful lake.
The dam will cost $4,000, and the
whole affair cost about $50, 900. The
interest ON this will be paid by leasing

ACCIDENTAL HOMICIDE.
A Fugitive from Justice in a Strug-

His Death.

A few days ago an officer arrived here
from Martinez in pursuit of man
named Ygnacio Romero, who, some
months ago. assisted tn the escape Of a
condemned murderer at that place.
Last Monday this officer, accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff Gard, were out to San
Gabriel. where a man who answered to
the description Of Romero. had been at
work, under the name Of Ygnacio
Lopez. Their visit was fruitless, as
the man had left. A description
was furnished to Constable Anselmi, of
the Mission, to keep lookout for
Romero who, 1t was supposed, was still
in that neig hborhood. On Wednesday
Anselmi, learning that the man had been
seen at A1usa, went to that settlement
but arrived too late, Romero, or Lopez,
by which name he was known there,

man for whom they were searching.
