A Fearfal Story of "larder and Revenge
• • la' the Far West.
A shocking story of brutal murder, and
swift, lawless punishment among a party of
miners travelling on foot over that Rocky
'lleitintains to the Sweetwatir mines, is
ported in one of onr- Western • exchanges. -
Hess, a Frenchman, and Armstrong, a 'Nova
Scotian, had quarreled, but apparently be.
came reconciled, when Armstrong re-opened
the disagreement, and threatened Hess for
taking some of his tobacco. During that
day the party entered a dangerous and diffi
cult canon, through 'which- they: wound
along a narrow ledge of rock, several hun
dred feet above the bed of the stream, which
ran along at the foot of that fearful preci
pice.
At the point of the greatest danger, where
the party had to travel in single file, and
several yards apart, Armstrong watched his
opportunity to dodge behind a ledge of rack
unobserved, and thus fall behind the others.
Hess was the last man in the file. As he
drew near to the place where Armstrong
was secreted, the latter stepped forth and I
fellowed his companions without seeming to "
notice him. Presently he knelt down as if '
to tie his shoe, and Hess, unable to pass,
stopped within a few feet of him: The next
moment, turning about to pick up his ,bun
dle, 'which had been thrown aside upon the
ground, by a sudden change of movement,
he seized the unsuspecting Frenchman and
hurled him over the edge of the terrible
abyss.
'Some twenty or thirty feet down from the
face of the precipice the wretched man
lodged in the branches of ascraggy hemlock
tree, which grew out of a crevice in the
rocky wall, and might from thence have
been rescued if assistance bad been nigh.
But there was none. How the murderer
could summon the hardihood to stoop
down and watch the fall of his victim
from that dizzy height, we cannot imag- -
Ina. Yet Armstrong did look down the
cliff, perhaps to assure himself that his
murderous work was Well done, and saw.
poor Hess still desperatelY maintaining his
hold upon life, instead of lying a shapeless
mass at the bottom ,of the canon. The
fiendish spirit manifested itself still futther.
He got fragments of rock and cast them
down upon the poor man, until his lifeless
body toppled over the yawning abyss be
; then Armstrong arose and pursued his
tourney. '
The whole act was seen from a diatimee
by another of the party, who was -apart
hunting for game; and after they had got
into camp at night he told the story, when
Armstrong was seized and Charged with the
murder, and he did not deny it. A pint of
the company were in favor of taking him
with theni through to the settlements, to4t be
tried by the civil authorities; but the major'.
ty were determined •to allow the murderer
no chance for escape; and so, about an hour
before midtught, Arrostrong was oonducted
to the top of a cliff which rose like a wall to
the height of 180 or 200 feet, half a mile in
the rear of the camp. Having bound his
hinds and feet, they cast him over into the
black abyss, out of 'phi& no crYreturned.

A Bubmarine RaCe—A Novel coated—
Three Divers Walking Under Water for
a Prize. ' 1 1
Among the most attractive and novel fea
tures of the ' day's (July 4th) programme
was the submarine exhibition given in the
harbor under the immediate direction of
• i
Mr. G. W. Townsend, the gentleman who
. ,
is engaged in blasting out in the channel.
..]
This being an entertainment entirely new
to all, it naturally attracted a very, large
concourse of both sexes, and was probably
witnessed by 10,000 people, win? usembled
~
in multitudes upon the piers, on bot h /Aden
'r
of the harbor, on the decks of shipi,-,;stisani

boats and tugs, while hundreds Di : entailer
] ,
craft, gaily decked with bunting, were drift
ing about in the vicinity of the submarine;
track, all of which were densely crowded
with men and women, anxiousto see "what
they should see." While engaged in, watch
ing the preparations that were being made
to get the submarine "walkists ' in readi
nessfor their tramp, the entire party seemed
to have forgotten that part of the programme
was to be an explosion under water, and,
as if glad of the opportunity to startle and
surprise those of the company who were
afloat, Mr.Bmith, the electrician, without
any warning, communicated the lelectric
spark to. he twenty kegs of powder he had
previously !wink in the channel, when a ter
rific explosion took place, throwing a large
volume of water from ninety to one hun
dred feet into the air, while the whole sur
face of the Water within the radius of
an hundred feet of Where the explosion oc
curred, , was moat fearfully agitated. This •
was a grand debut 'for the performers, and
aided largely to the interest that silk were
manifesting in a most impatient manner in
the othergrand feature of the entertainment,
the walking match. I
The, divers being duly . equipped in their
armor, lay quietly hanging over ] the gun
wales of their attending boats, looking more
like submarine monsters the,. they Old like

chored off the Cunard docks, on 1 the East

Among Theodore's jewels are two -crowns,
one for State and the other foi.ordinary pur
poses. The ttate crown is of gold, rising
to a height.of about eighteen-inches in three
tiers; it is inlaid either with precious stones
or tidmirable imitations. Th. 3 work is very
fine, and the weight such tv4 only the head
.of a powerful.man could beer. The com
mon crown is of dark silk Velvet.and 3V89,
no doubt, at one time very_ fine, but age has
dimmed its brightness. The robes are gor
geous, the State robe being i : made' of gold
tassel, worked in floss, and lined-with a rich
brown satin. The pattern is !gag chaste and
the workmanship can scantly be -excelled
in any civilized countrj. The second robe is
one which Theodore expressly ordered to
be .made for her Majesty. Queen Vietoria,
but "unavoidable circumstiftices” interven
intf, the black monarch kept himself for
some time, and finally , gave it'one of the
-Clerimin artisans - at'lliagdals, who gave it
up to Sir Robert Napier. • The materials of
this robe are not; so zieh, nor are
the ornaments as chnete and val
uable as those of the State robe; but the Ma
area wqk of Indian pattern is exquisitely
done. The seal of the sing is one of an or
dinary character, and bears the name and
title of Theodore. It is supposed to bays
been ma de in London. There are also the
royal slippers of a shape somewhat after the
J a p ane se; they are coveredwith goldscales,
and a ppear to have been frequently worn.
