join in tho fun, the other remaining
in charge of the boats, Vermont won,
ond immediately jumped up the side
of the yacht and sauntered after near
the saloon and deck where tho party
was scattered about, smoking, talking
and drinking champagne. The first
ouo to address our friend was a cap
tain in tho English navy, who asked
him if he found tho climatq unpleas
autly moist. Vermont replied that
on tlio contrary it seemed to hint tlry
very dry iudced. "Is it possible?"
said tho captain, and then a light
breaking upon him, he added, "Ah!
ah! You will champagne with me?"
Nerinont said he wouldn't mind if
he did, so they tossed a glass, which
tho captain assured him wait lino dry

and the captain smiling, branched oil"
to entertain otluri. ll;s pl;i20 was
immediately eupplied by another geti
tlemai., who noticed the midshipman's
isolated position. Ho asked him if
he had had any champagne. Mid re
plied that he had, but they told him
it was very dry, and ho reckoned it
was, as his mouth was quite parched,
he didn't care if he drauk sumething
wet. The geiitlemau at onco called
for another bottle, aud as they raised
their glasses ho said "Mumnt." Ver
mont, said he wouldn't say nuything
about it, -and drauk it off in" navy
style. He asked tlio gentleman the
mimes of different personages in that
room, and finally said: "Who are
you, anyway ?" The gentleman said
lio was not much better there; ho was
only a duke (the Duke of St. Albans,)
Mid said, "Well, I'm not a duke, but
we're tvll sovereigns in tho State., so
we're not much out." Mr. Moran the
Secretary of Legation, then joining
them. Mid asked, "Who is that young
fellow with light hair talking to Gen
eral Sherman?" "That," said Mr.
Moran, "is tho Marquis of Lome; I
have known him hinee ho was a bov."
"Won't you introduce me?" said Mid.
"I'll go speak to him." replied Mr.
Moran, and he soon returned with the
Marquis, presented tho midshipman,
and left them together.
"Well, Manpiw, how do you feel?"'
said Vermont. The Marquis laughed
heartily and said he felt well if hp felt
at all. He then asked the Mid if he
had been offered any champagne, Mid
said "Yes, he had, but quite a while
ago," so they tipped glasses together.

ho had. "een to Monaco?" Yes
Tho Marquis then entertained ths Mid
with anecdotes of travel and society ;
he had spoken of Duchesses and Lords
aad then said: "I he king of Belgium
was saying to roe the other day"
when Vermont interrupted hint with
"Hold up, Marquis, that is getting be
yond me, when it comes to Kings and
Princes I'm let out, I don't know
those follows."
The Marquis laughed and offered
him a cigar. Mid said, "You Dukes
smoke real Havamts, I suppose; but
dou't let mo keep you all tlio time,
Marquis, as there are lots of big guns
around." Tho Marouis said ho was
satisfied if Midshipman was, who re
plied that he could stand any amount
of it. "What's that fellow's name?"
said Mid. "Leiniugcn." "What is

quis," said Vermont, "suppose you in
troduce mo to the Prince of Wales."
"All right." So off they went arm iu
arm to look for him, to tho surprise of
the "big guus" who frowned aud nod
ded at him, but Mid looked uncon
sciously into distance. Tho Prince
had gone below and they could not
find him, sj tho Marquis bade the
Middy good evening and said he nev
er would forget him. It is probable
he will not. The last exploit of our
friend was to bump into the Prince as
ho was going out of tho saloon door.

;i:M:ttAt. I.AF.l VT.TTK'H WATCH.
It is doubtless within the recollec
tion of many that in the year 1824
General Lafayette made a tour of this
country, attended by such an ovation
as offered, pes haps, the grandest fpec
taclo of n Nation's- tribute to a hero
the World hits ever seen. During his
tour, while on a visit to some town in
tho State of Tennessee, the General
was mysteriously robbed of Jiis watch,
a valuable souvenir, which 'had been
presented to hint in 1781, by General
George Washington, to commemorate
nt once the iiflectionate relations which
had long existed between them, and
his gallant services at the seigc of
Yorktown, the crowning event in the
struggle for American independence.
Directly upon the robbery becoming
known, most, strenuous efforts were
made for its recovery, but, despite the
fact that the Governor of Tennessee
offered n reward of SI 0,000 for its
return, not the slightest trace of it
was thereafter obtained, and General
Lafayette was eventually compelled
to return to France, resigned to the
thought that the precious gift of his
dear friend was lost to hint forever.
The years passed on, and with their
lapse men's recollection of the circum
stance faded away. Lafayette died in
1834, and fur a space of forty-eight
years the stolen watch bore an un
known history. At the end of that
time, but a few days ago, a gentleman
residing in this city, while visiting
Louisville, attended an auction sale
at a junk shop, where, strange to re-
late, he found among tho articles offer-
ed a watch which, upon examination,
ho discovered to be the long lost watch
of Lafayette.
Suffice it to s.-.y thnt he eagerly pur
cnaeeu it, anu na quickly lormed Hie
resolution to trausmit it to the family
of General Lafayette, now residing in
Paris ; pending which transmission,
however, tho gentleman has brought it
to his home, and has consented to lis
exhibition for a few days at E. A. Ty-
ler's jewelry storo, on Canal street.
Tho watch is open-faced, of gold,
with a double fas'", and may bo re
marked as of i peculiar appearance,
being of only ordinary size, but near- 1 who was very sickly, uud only made a

this caused a general stampede, and

"Comwrciat, Mail ami German

one r .ioon lately, as ho rushed
througu a street car in which we had
taken a seat. "Commercial, sir?" said
he, turning toward us and planting a
horrible-muddy bare foot flat upon
our nevly-polishcd boot. We felt
provoked, and raised a hand to push
the boy off, but he was too quick for us.
Starting back lie bowed profoundly,
and iu tho blandest possible manner
said: "PlfRso exeitase me, sir! I'm
really very sorry; I couldn't help it
that big gent shoved inn. Tell us
where your office is, boss. I blacken
mornings call and shine 'cm for
nothin'.sir." Wo were so much pleaied
and struck wih this display of ready
politeness, and, despite his dirt, his
pleasant, honest face, that we Kave
him a card, and told him to call next
morning as he wished. On the follow
ing morning a s( range boy entered
our oflice with a bluckiug-box slung
over his shoulder and our card iu his
baud. Said he, eyeing our boots, "lie
you the gent 113 givo 'Tinsey' this ere
card ?" "Who is Tinsey ?'' we asked.
"Tlio fellow that sloshed yer boots iu
the csir last night. His mother's aw
ful sick, aud he's got to stay and mind
his little sister. He says he's sorry he
couldn't come and give ye'o a shine
hisself, but 'Tinsey' aud mo often go
whacks, and I'll shine 'em for vou
just tho same, fiee gratis for-nothin."
This bellied to confirm the cond or.in
j ion wo had foimed of tlio newsboy,
j and so we asked the boot-black to tell
"Tinsey," as he called him. that when
it was convenient for him, wo should
bo pleased to have htm call, lwoor
three days afterward, "Tinsey" called,
ragged raid barefooted as before. He
j told us that his father had bceu dead
: two years; that his mother and two
j sisters were very poor, living iu a rear
. basement, in Goerck street, and he
; lived ut the Uov's Loibrimr House in
j liivincton street, navinir five cents
I o
each for his supper, bed and break
last. His earnings averaged from fif
ty to seventy-five cents a day, and
most of it went to support his mother,
ports were iuvuraine we might give
him work in our oflice. The poor boy
was overjoyed at this; said ho would
like so much to get regular work, be
cause the conductors kicked him off
the curs, and big boys diovo him from
the best blacking stands.

always attended night school and Sun
day meetings, ami generally had a
book front the library. His affection
for his mother and sisters was very
great, and w hen he was hard pushed
he would sell his shoes and best gar
ments in order to purchase trilling de
licacies for his sick parent. His moth
er said Charley for that is "Tinsey V
rigni name, was tho best ot boys, and
the mainstay of the family. He slept
at the Kivingtou Street Lodging
House, she said, where ho had receiv
ed most of his education and much
good udviec. These inquiries satis
fied us that "Tinsey" deserved a help
ing hand. He is now in our employ
ment, nn active, intelligent, trustwor

barefooted I
now, nor wears ragged clothes, but
earns a competent salary and lives
with his mother iu a comfortable home.
He is now on tho primary steps of a
ladder that leads to influence and inde
pendence, with a fair prospect of on-.'
day standing on the topmost round.

The following is s.i extract from a
private letter detailing the way they
do things at Pioehe. Nevada : Pint he
is the county seat of Lincoln cotinly,
a mining camp a year old. It is on
the Great American de"ft, and situ
ated between the In'rc Mountains look
ing over a bare pkin. Water has to
be brought eight miles by wagons, and
is sold ct six cents per gallon. There
are about 1,200 people here, the half
of whom have been iu slute prison
(stage and highway robbers, etc.,) and
tho rest ought to lie. Our graveyard
has forty-one graves, of which two are
filled with dead from natural causes.
The rest nil died with their boots on
shot, mostly ; some cut. One shoot
ing scrape took place in the bank, in
which Mike Casey killed Tom Gcssin,
after receiving Gossin's fire. There is
no law. Any one feeling aggrieved
seeks redress chiefly with the pistol.
It's been a close game for mo several
times; I got cut iu the ieg once, but I

Tho minis (silver) employ about six
hundred men ; nbotit one hundred are
in arrest, and tho rct are blackguards

thieves, renegade Mormons and men
b.tuished from Bociety by their crimes,
aud are ready for anything. It is
threo hundred miles to a raiiroad or
telegraph; we have three stages and
one mail a week. I've done very well
hero, and would have saved some
money, but two of my partners in the
claim were killed, and I can't go on
alone. My life lias been attempted
twice by the pnrtv that killed my
partners. I don't allow any limn to
scare me if I can have any show ; but
when it gets down to cases where you
dure not sit by an open door or win
dow after dark, it is lime to jump the
claim. If ever I get back to Califor

It) Los Angeloi County, t n the east
ern slope of the Sun Francisco range
of mountains, and in the immediate
vicinity of the Learning Petroloinu
Company's oil region, Hiiro is the
most wonderful collection of wild
honey iu existence The hive is locat
ed in a rift, which penetrates the rock
to the depth, probably, of 100 feet.
The orilice is thirty feet long and sev-

place of a swarm of ucos that is rep
;scnted as coming out in a neai v
solid column one foot in diameter.
Certain parties have endeavored to de
scend to the immense store of honey
collected by these hues, but were in
variably driven back, mid one man
lost his life in the effort. O.liers have,
ut the expense of much labor and
money, built a ecuflhld a 12-j feel high
in the hone of reaching a place whence
they could run a drift into th,. ruck
and extract i's well hoarded sweets,
but finally cease;! their work. With
in four years the bees have added not
less than fifteen feet of depth to their
treasure, as ascertained by actual
measurement, and it is thought that
ut the present timo there cannot ho
less Hutu eight or ten tons of honey in
the rock. A man mimed D. Htophy
lives in a cabin not far from tho mot
u"'' "'dinne I from Hi melting of the
honey by the sun s heat, more than
enough for his family requirements.
All through that region immense
stores of wild honey uro found in lreest
in tho rocks, in nearly every place
where its industrious iiiatiuliicttr.crs
think of for bees seem tj think that
it is secure. They consuni.'. a. very
small proportion, us the climate en
ables them to keep up operations near

of some sort are always in bloom. It

What an unfortunate fellow the
local editor is, to be euro, and how
much is expected of him. If a man
buys a new hor.-e or buggy, or if his
cow can bawl threo times without
winking, the 'local' is expected to pro-
claim that fact with a great Uourish.
If he starts a two-penny business, his
first thought is to bribe the 'local' w ith
a live cent cigar to write a fivo dollar
puff. Indeed, he thinks it the mission
of the 'local' to make his fortune for
him by 'free blowing.' Ho will take
the 'Joer.r to ono side and point out
the supfiiior qualities of a rat-t?rier
dog, and coolly as!: him to "give tho
pup a hoist.' He don't care anything
about it only Spnggius has a dog that
he thinks is a buster and some of 'cm
wanted his dog 'put in' just to take
the conceit out of Spriggins. Oh, yps,
'put it in' by all means. Everybody
wants us to 'put it in' that they aro
the 'Great I Am,' but nobedy says,
'Here, 'local' put yourself inside this
new suit of clothes, or throw yourself
outside this oyster stew, or stuff this
watch in your pocket.' Oh, no, of
course not ; that would cost something.
The shoo is on the other foot, you see.
The 'local' is supposed to know every
thing about other people's business,
and is supposed to 's.'iow pp' all tho
actors of every family broil in town.
If the vile tonguo of scandal fiuds a

Rev. Dr. John Hall closes a strong
article in tho Independent, against
liquor drinking, with this paragraph:
The moderate drinker is giving the
sanction of his nets aud the weight of
his example, perhaps, to strengthen
tendencies he has alrcudy communicat
ed to the physical system of his child.
Any one may loosen the stone from
the hillside; hut, once let go, he can
not call it back to his hand ; And a
thoughtless parent may give the earli
est impulse to the appetite of a child,
and bo powerless, even with tears and
grouiis und piuyers, to check it when
the child is mature r.ud an inebriate.
Oh! parents, stop mid think! And
meantime God speed the men and tho
societies that are trying to form opin
ion, cheek vice, reclaim tho fallen and
save endangered ; aud who aro doing
this under cold coutempt, sometimes,
of the very persons who should have
the deepest interest in their success.
It is iriuall comfort to know that
drinkers are tho victims of a great sys
tem of fraud und deception t no
thirds of tho Madei in, champagne
and port being fraudulent, half that
which, is called wi:ic a brushing lie,
and a prcat portion of tho so called
spirits the cheapest substitutes for alco
hol. Tho mischief in the end is none
tho less dreadful. "The devil's meal,"
according to I he strong English pro

denuneialioii of Scripture, there is
"woo to the drunkards of Ephraim,"

A Connecticut man the other day
thought to put his philosophy to prac
tical te.-t by slightly burning the fin
gers of his two littlo children in or
der that he might leave them alone iu
a room with a hot stove. His wife,
who doesn't go much on science,
caught him at it. and went for the
philosopher, sitting him down on tho
stove and holding him there untU to
roared for mercy!
In casus of accidental poisoning, it
is well to have a simple remedy at
baud. Poisons of any decsriptioti
which have been intentionally or ac
cidentally swallowed, moy bo render
ed, almost intuutly harmless by swah
lowing two gills of sweet oil. An in
dividual with a strong constitution
might take more. Tho oil will neu
tralise every form of vegetable, ani
mal, or mineral poisons.
A pair of horses ran away in Iow:i
the other day, dragging tho linos on

waited until the driver came up and
recovered his property.
