AN AUDACIOUS THIEF.
Nubar Pasha's Loss of a Valuable Watcl

Nubar Pasha's Loss of 4 Valuable Watch
and BPjeweled InlSstand.
On the occasion of the Empress Eugenie's
visit to Cairo in 1869, Nubar Pasha was
presented by Napoleon III with valuable
watch richly set with diamonds. This
watch he was in the habit of laying before
him ON the table during the meetings Of the
council. which were generally held in the
evenings. At one of the sttings the electric
light suddenly went out. When it was
turned Oh again Nubar'S watch had diSap
peared.
The Pasha scrutjnized the faces Of his
colleagues one after the other, but not one
WINGED under his gaze. At length he said:
Gentlemen, the watch that, according to
my custom l had lying here before me, has
been removed. The door is locked on the
inside, nobody has entered the room in the
meantime, and nobody has gone out. | at
tribute the loss of the watch to a bad joke
or fit of abstraction on the part of one of
you gentlemen. l will now turn out the
light once more. feeling convinced that when
it is turned on again the watch will be
found in its usual place"
The light was then put out. When IL
shOne brightly a minute later, not only was
the place where the watch had lain still
vacant, but Nubar's bejeweled inkstand,
present from Victor Emmanuel, had also
vanished! Nubar Pasha never saw these

So that by the time the train was
about to enter Sacramento the passengers

was within q few blocks Of the depot here
the Italian made for the platform TO get

found the platform blocked by passengers,
who by joining hands formed barrier
against which he could not prevail. Seeing
that his scheme was frustrated the man
then backed into and through the car to tie

Reception of George osbourne.

The AlcaZar was crowded with people
last evening to see that favorite actor, Mr..
George 0sbourne. make his re-entree in the
character of Jack Adams, the leading one
in Steele Mackaye's meodrama "a Noble
Rogue" When he made his appearance on
the stage it was the signal for enthusiastic
applause which lasted for nearly a minute
and a minute is long time under some cir
cumstances-and then. when the curtain
fell on the first act, he was recalled and
presented with so many floral tributes
that the stage might have made
the actors flower garden in Fresno en-
vious. Mr.. Osbourne has lost none of
his ease and completeness of personation.
The audience seemed to follow his every
word and movement from the time ne came
on until he left the footlights. The play,
altogether, went smoothly, and it seemed as
if there was a stronger aud moro assured
hand on the theater valve Of the dramatic
engine Mr.. Frank r. Mills, in the part of
Percy Wallace, artist and engraver, played
his part well, but was somewhat raJtled in

feel proud of his reception, and the man
