Mr.. Charles Santley, the great baritone,
owes much of his success in life to the gen.
erosity and perspicacity Of his master, who
was then a draper in business in Man
chester. When young. Santley was an as
sistant in the establishment Just men
toned. His master invited his numerous
employees to dinner, and after the various
creature comforts had been discussed sing
ing was INDUCED in as q means of enter
tainment. On Santley being called upon
to contribute his share to the enjoyment
of the evening he displayed voice Of such
quality, resonance and timbre that his
master, a musical amateur of much dis
elimination. at once informed him that he
had q voice which with efficient traininm
would make his fortune, and generously
volunteered to pay the expenses of three
years musical tuition in Italy The offer
was at once accepted, with such results q
all the world knows and duly appreciates.

Four Lesved Clover.

This plant derived its significance from
the fact that its four leaves are arranged
in the form of a cross. Moreover, its com
parative rarity and its very abnormality (if
l may so express it) made it seem notewor-
thy or remarkable. If a person shall wear
a bit of this plant he can detect the pres
ence of evil spirits. It also brings good
fortune.

A two leaved clover enables a maid to

plant concerning which much might be
said. The quaint st. Andrews cross (As-
cyrum crux-Andree) is very interesting
plant Of our own country, with crosslike
flowers. Strangely enough, it appears to
have no folk lore attached to it.

"Yes," said his mistress, che is a very

Lion opened his other eye and waved
his tail complacently to and fro on the car

with her, and feel perfectly sure that
no harm can come to her," his mistress
went on.
Lions tail thumped up and down vio-
lently on the carpet.
"And he is so gentle to them all, and
such playmate and companion to them,
that we would not take 81 600 for him"
Lions tail now went up and down, to

Savage Attack on an Aged Chinaman
Near Nevada City.
NEVADA, Feb. 19.-Last evening mes
senger arrived with news that brutal
crime had been perpetrated at Wilson
Ranch, one mile east of this city. Henry
Willis, aged nineteen, and whose parents
reside at Dutch Flat, had gone to house
occupied by Chinese gardeners, who have
a ranch leased, and finding an aged China
man there alone, asked for a cigar, which
was refused. Willis then took trunk
from under the bed. When the China
man interfered a struggle ensued, during
which Willis picked up an axe and frac-
tured the old mans skull with it. Think
ing the victim dead, he dragged the trunk
from the house and took therefrom three
hundred dollars in coin, with which he
fled afoot to Dutch Flat, eighteen miles
distant. Sheriff Dunster pursued, and
finding him in bed at home early this
morning, arrested him and brought him
back.
Young Willis has a record as criminal.
He has served one term in the Placer
County Jail for petty larceny, and is sus-
pected of having been engaged in numer-
Gus thefts here. The Chinaman was alive
