Bandits of the Yosemite.

Hery a, Roy, the Buffalo man who
passed through the thrilling advent
ure of a stage coach robI cry short
time ago, is back in the city again.
Yesterday he told reporter all about
the Yosemite adventure. "Well," he
SAID, I'VE were slowly climbing up a
mountain just mile gefore a high
bluff called Inspiration Point was
Preached, the road along a narrow de-
file dangerous close to the edge and
only three feet from the forest trees,
when two strapping fellows stepped
out and called ''stop!' to the driver.
The hour II 45 in the forenoon, as
] reccollect it. Ny position in the
stage was on the third seat, with Mr..
Webb on one side and Captain Muir
ry on the other I looked quickly
and saw at once what the matter
was, The two bandits had masks on
and each had a double barreed rife
leveled almost i'll our faces The
driver got down at once and unhitch-
ed the four horses, then turned their
heads down hill, all at the explicit of
the spokesman. The driver says
there were three robbers, but none of
the passengers saw more than two.
They were the coolest chaps [ ever
saw-cool is no name for it, Their
work was accomplished with the non
chalance Of an every day job 10 which
they might have been accustomed.
At the first instant I tried to unbut
ton my vest, not TO get any weapon,

LeVeline his gun at ir Webb, who
sat on the same seat, the active ban
dit ordered him to throw up his
hands and come down. That left me
exposed, and a moment later it was
my turn. In ten seconds the five
men had their hands up and were
standing at the rear of the coah E.
The two ladies were allowed to re-
main on the drivers seat.
Ii was remarkable how quickly the
whole thing was done. While one
bandit kept his rifle lev eled the other
went through our clothes. Mr..
v ebb had a little revolver in his
pocket, the only weapon in the party,
but he didn't have chance to use it.
My experience was peculiar. aran-
ged the robbers by turning around
sufficiently to look at my sister. The
second time [ did this the bandit
who was the searching drew big
dirk and raised it on me. promised
submission right off. In the search
through my clothes the fellow took
thr ee cigars from a vest pocket, cool
ly putting one in his mouth and re-
marking that there was nothing small
about him except his feet, when be
took 1925 from another pocket, my
watch and chain from my vest, and,
last of all, my Knight Templar cross.
Then they let us go, and we went.

Jal Delivery at Cuthbert.

On Monday night the prisoners
confined within the Jail got out of
their narrow quarters and escaped.
The entrance into their cells consist
ed of one door with a double shutter
- one wood, and the otheriron. On
account of the very hot weather Mr..
Barry had been leaving the wooden
shutter open. The iron shutter was
fastened on one side by three heavy
bolts braided on the inside. The
prisoners in some way got files aud
with these filed away the braided
heads and had nothing to do but to
push the bolts out, pull the door
open and leave. Removing plank,
they found their way to the lower
floor, and rushed out. They were
seen by Mrs. Millirons, whose family
occupies the lower rooms, who gave
the alarm.
They were four in number: Willis
Mcdonald, white, put in for v9lun-
tary mansiaughter Tor twenty years,
soon to be sent to the penitentiary
Ben McGruder, colored, three years
for burglary Ben Hicks arrested for
rape; Joe Holder for murder. The

Butler as Democratic ,Candi-
date for President

Butler as a Democratic ,Cands-
date fer President
Albany News. S.
1t is amatter of genuine surprise
to us that any considerable number
of the Democrats of the country
should entertain for a moment the
position that has been made to
nominate Ben Butler for the presi
dency in 1884. And this surprise is
turued into disgust when we see the
Southern newspapers and politicians,
claiming to she Democratic, quietly
aiding and abetting in the movement
that has been put on foot to elevate
this contemplate old demagogue to
the highest position within the gift
of American people.
The democratic party Isgraced
itself and made of itself rediculous
laughing stock when it abandoned
all principle and nominated Greeley
in 1875, and now it had better wait
until it RECEIVERS from the damaging
and mortifying effects of that mis-
AXE before,it suffers itself to be led
by the nose into another-and. if
possible, a worse one.
How any decent Southern Demo-
crat'or white man can ever get'his
own consent to vote for Beast Butler
for President or for any other posi-
ton Of respectfully, is something
that we cannot understand. What
has become Of all our boasted South
ern pride and chivalry when the man
who, as the commander Of an inva-
ding army, insulted the women OF
the South, and issued an order per-
mitting and instructing his officers
and men to treat the women Of New
Orleans as common prostitutes, can
be regarded with favor as a candi-
date for political preferment By
Southern people The very name of
Beast Butler ought to be an offense
to every man who holds women in
honor, and the crimes that he COM
mitted during and Immediately after
thet war between the States cannot
be blotted out by the m6re recital of
accasional Or accidental acts Of kind
ness which some of the papers of the
country are now enaged in bringing
to light
The tenderfooted Democrats of
Massachusetts, may have "the BEAST
for their Governor if they want him,
but whenever the Democratic party
OF the Republic sulrenders to him
and makes him its candidate for the
Presidency, then we will lose all the
respect we ever had for the party.

A correspondent writing to the

a correspondent writing to the
Southern Cultivator gives expression
to the following bit of wisdom:
Il hear complaint from the
Southern farmers that they can find
no sale for their oats or corn. This
seems strange to me when all the
Southern cities buy their corn from
the North ; certainly they will buy
Southern raised corn if shipped to
them. But why.not feed your corn
to hogs or cattle-certainly meat
Will sell at home. I sometimes think
that there is a combination among
the commercial people of the South
to prevent the Southern planter from
doing anything except plant cotton
do not know that this is so, but |
do know that they give no encour.
agement or assi8taaee to anything
oaVe cotton planting.
lfthe farmers of the South will
use more improved tools, and farm
more and plant less, they will make
more money. And for the life of me
don't see why the Southern farmer
can't make money raising corn for
seventy-hve cents per bhshel, when
the Western farmer gets only thirty
cents and has plenty of money to 90
on. The labor of one man ought to
make as much corn in the South as
the North"

Damages for Five Children Killed.

In May, 1881, five children Of F. H.
Nehrbas of San Lorenzo, Alameda
county, were returning home from n
May-day picnic in light wagon, and
when they reached crossing of the
Central Pacific Railroad the vehicle
was struck by locomotive and all the
inmates We're killed. The father OF
the children sued the railroad
company for damages. On the trial
il was shown that the approaching
train could not be seen from the
highway until close to the crossing, on
account of n bridge and eucalyptus
trees. 1t was also shown that the train
was behind time, and running from
thirty-three to thirty-fiye miles an
hour, the usual speed being twenty
five miles an hour. The jury awarded
$40, 800 damages to the plaintiff and
defendant took an appeal The su-
preme court has affirmed the judy
ment, holding that in view of the
rule of damages prevailing here we
cannot be reasonably expected TO hold
that for such loss as the plaintiff in
this case sustained, the amount
awarded him by the jury was ex.
cessive. '---Sa'a Francisco Bulletin.
