~ Gen. James 8. Brisbin gives the following sketch of the exploits of a noted frontiersman. The incidents were related to the General by Mr. Belden, the famous hunter, trapper, and guide "of the plains: | i . - I was one of the first men in 1858 to arrive at Pike’s Peak. Icame up from the Missouri with a friend of my father’s, and we stopped at Denver, or rather, I should say, where Denver now 'is, for the city was then composed of a few grog shops and shanties.. In one of the mining camps I became acquainted with a queer fellow they called Bruiser Sam. He was a powerful man, and sometimes drank a good deal, but was always good-tempered and kind-hearted. The miners were a ‘rough set in those days, and delighted. in the most brutal sports. Prize-fight-ing was one of their pastines, and at this Bruiser Sam excelled—no man in all the camps being able to stand up long before him. His feats of strength were prodigious. Often would he take a barrel of liquor by the chimes, and, knocking out the '‘bung, lift it up and drink from the hole, as easily as if'it were a small keg. Then he would stand on a box twelve inches square and lift one hundred and eighty pounds with his teeth.: He could pick up a three-bushel bag of flour with his ‘mouth, and carry it a rod. One day a saloon keeper offended Sam, and,to have revenge: he went out into the street, and shouldering a large workhorse, carried it into the saloon, leaving the enraged .bar-keeper to .get it out and down the steps as best he could. At another time he carried a rock into the store and dropped it through the floor. | ,Sam’s skin was white and smooth as a girl’s; but all over his arms, shoulders and broad chest were bunches of knotty muscles as large as one’s fist.— He was a well built and fine looking man, his waist being remarkably small,’ his hips broad, the legs well set, and feet small. Once his face was hand-| some, but whisky had bleared his eyes, and the nose” was pimpled and red; still, Sam was a good looking man, and,, when dressed up in a new buckskin suit with yellow fringe, and his long: brown hair combed out in curls about his neck, he was a picture of an athletic frontiersman. ;

However, Sam was fast degenerating into a loafer; he had left off work and gone to living by his strength, just as thousands of men lived-by their wits in:the great cities. Any one would pay Sam’s liquor to see him lift a barrel by the ends and drink from the: bung-hole; and oecasionally, by way of variety, he would shoulder a horse or a mule for a glass of rum. Dissipation told rapidly en “The Man of Steel,” as -he wag called, and when I saw him in the spring he had delirium tremens, and it took five men to hold 'him. His frame was wasted away, the knots lbf' sinews were gone,’ his chest drawn' in, and the ;skin of his body soft. :

It was dbout this time an old Englishman named Jones arrived at the mines, and hearing of Sam, expressed a desire to see him. Old Jones was a ‘well-known prize fighter; but of late years bad given up the ring himself and turned trainer. ' Sam’s face excited the envy of old Jones, and he no sooner saw Sam than he offered to fight him. The miners'were astonished and tried to dissuade Jones, from his purpose, but nothing would do but he must have a bout with Sam. So the day was set. Sam was sick on the morning of the fight and looked badly enough, but bets ran two to ‘one on “The Man of Steel” against the Englishman. Time was: called, and the Englishman bounded in to the ring, while Sam cdme up slowly, and looked languid and feeble; but at: the very first pass he hit John Bull between the eyes, and no amount of bathing and! sponging could induce him to stand upon his legs again/that day. It was feared that Sam had broken the Englishman’s skull, but he got about in a day or two, and soon afterward both he and Sam disappeared’ from the saloons. The bar-keepers were astonished. Sam did not comé around any more for his grog, and no one could imagine where-he had gone, or yvha‘é, he*was-at. Foul play was beginning to be suspected, when it leaked out that Sam was in training, and that the Englishman was his trainer. After old Jones got that awful lick from Sam’s brawny fist, he gave him .mo peace until he agreed to go intotraining and accompany the Englishman to England, there to fight the giants of the prize ring. Jones- had not much money, but at his instigation a man named Dunham came over with plenty of cash, and as soon as Dunham arrived old Jones quit, and the new Englishman bécame Sam’s regular trainer. Pog ¢ SBy 2N I'saw Sam once while he was in ‘training, and he looked well, the knots were on his arm again, and the great chest round and firm." He had been at his dumb-bells, sand-bags, and gumballs about six weeks when one morhing he got mad about something, knocked both Dunham and old Jones. down, and made his escape from the keepers into the street. Stopping at the saloons and taking several drinks, he did not forget it was his hour for training, and amused himself by knocking down every stout fellow he met. Finally, after the Sheriff and half the town had been whipped, Sam was captured and putin jail; ‘but here a new difficulty presented itself; for the jail was not a stron one, and Sam ‘swore he would instantﬁrtem it down if they did not let him go. On prom{ggggi that 3(: wguld g 0 straight to his Igings, the door was opened and, Sam kept his Wdi'dg,gf()rgﬂbgvp;l'%egifectly home and went to bed. This outbreak was so unlike Sam’s natural’

disposition that every one was at a loss to account for it; and, soon afterward, another ebullition of passion ‘oceurring, the Man of Steel’s trainer’s abandoned ‘him in disgust, and took themselves off East, each carrying with him, as-a parting gift from Sam, a.pair of black‘eyes and swollen nose. .Sam, now left to himself, fell to { drinking again, went about the saloons as of old, lifting barrels, pitching stones and shouldering horses for liguvor. It was soon observed that he was growing weak; he lifted the barréls with difficulty, and preferred to | drink from a glass instead of a bunghole. He grew thin in flesh, his muscles disappeared, and he became the shadow of his former self. | - At this time a number of shoualderhitters and desperadoes arrived at the mines, and gave Sam some trouble; but he finally conquered them all, and as the last fellow got licked he exclaimed: “Well,if you can lick me, you can’t lick a grizzly bear!” © Sam swore. he could lick a grizzly bear, and that single handed, alone, he would fight one. - There was a. grizzy in the camp that had heen caught by the miners when a cub, and raised by them. The bear was now nearly full grown, and although a great, powertul brute, was quite tame .and harmless. It was not long before some wretches had arranged a fight between the dumb beast and Bruiser Sam, and the day was set. The bear was to be chained to a tree by the neck, and Sam was to fight him. one hour with his naked ists. ' Sam again went into training, with Jim Peyton for his trainer,and ‘long before the day of the fight Peyton ‘reported that his pupil was in splendid condition, and “would as soon fight as go a fishing.” | | : The day came, and with it a great .crowd. The bets were three to one on Sam, and many really believed he P would whip the bear. Poor Bruin—a great shaggy coated fellow—was tied to a stake by a chain twelve feet long, } and was as good tempered as he could “be, standing Ton his hind legs, and scampering about with delight at the sight of so, many people. - Perhaps there was as little of the real beast.in ' Bruin as there was in many of the two-legged animals who came to see him fight. The keepers of the bear began teasing and poking him with sharp poles and irons, and although he took it quite coolly at first, he after a while growled fiercely and tugged at his chain. :Sam how appeared- with ‘his keeper, Peyton, and was received with loud cheers by the human animals who wished to see a man and a beast fight. ' . ’ Stepping into the ring Sam appeared. for battle, stripping oft all his clothing, except his boots, pants,:and drawers. His broad chest -contrasted strangely with the shaggy coat of the’ beast, as the two combatants stood glaring at each other. The inteligent animal seemed to.understand the situation in a morent, and, raising on his legs, walked toward Sam, who tried to hit him between the eyes, hoping to break his skull; but, failing in this, he stepped to one side, and giving the bear a powerful blow, knocked him down. Cheer after cheerigreeted Sam as-he stopped from the ring, and the men who had bet on the bear really began to fear they would lose their money. -Five minutes werei allowed | between the rounds, and the baiters poked the beast vigorously all the time, so that when Sam came up again he was in a towering passion. ‘ The moment Sam crossed the ring the bear recognized him and bounded the full length of the chain. So great was the rage of the beast that the people drew back in horror,and even Sam grew pale. Againthe bear leaped forward, and taking his chain in his paws attempted to break it. For a time it resisted all his: efforts, but at length snapped in twain, and the affrighted -people fled terror. stricken from the plain. : 1 ' : "Phe bear dashed upon Sam, who bravely stood his ground, and actually succeeded in felling the bear to the earth, but in doing so he lost his balance, and before he could escape the bear caught him with one claw, and hitting him on the face with the other broke the poor fellow’s jaw. Still Sam fought on with his jaw hanging on his breast and blood spirting from a dozen wounds. It was terrible; but, of course, the bear won, knocked Sam down finally and tearing open his chest ‘'with his sharp claws. By this time the people had;got guns and returned to the field, where they fired volley after volley into poor Bruin until he lay quite still; and Sam was dead too, and they took up his body and the carcass of the bear and buried them both. And thus ended Bruiser Sam ' and his grizzly bear fight, which was perhaps the only bear prize fight ever fought in the world. . A

. MRr. CALEB CUSHING, whom ‘the President has appointed to succeed Gen. Sickles as Minister to Spain, is credited with the authorship of an article in a Washington paper, attacking the positions taken by Attorney-Gen-¢éral Williams in the Virginius matter, After deciding that the Virginius had no rig;ht to carry the American flag, Mr. Williams took the ground that the flag, though unlawfully carried, still entitled the vessel to immunity from interference by Spainor any ether foreign power. - The article which Mzy. Cushing is said to have written holgs that this is tantamount to saying mnot that the flag protects the ship, but that the mask protects the malefactor. To insist upon it would be to Heense piracy on the high seas, provided the pirates hoist the American flag when hard pushed. = Whether Mr, Cushing wrote this article or not, the position taken in it is: perfectly sound, and, if it is the gentiment. of Mr. Cushing, it becomes evident that he ought to have been appointed to Gen.

WONDERSTRUCK COMMUNITY. - Fall of an Immense Aerolite. TRENTON, Mo, Dec. 29.—A few daySs since the inhabitants of the vicinity of Farmersville, a hamlet of Livingston county, in this State, were startled by the appearance in the heavens in broad daylight of an immense ball of fire, or meteor, falling with inconceivable velocity to the earth. The spot of its fall was visited by the awestruck -citizens in crowds to learn more of the strange apparition. A man was found who had been at work in the woods close by, and who seemed almost distracted with fear, but who soon recovered himself sufficiently to tell what. he knew of it. He said as he was at work he heard a sound like the fierce screaming of a huge shot from a rifled cannon, accompanied by a rushing noise, like the sweep of a tornado. Looking about to discover the source of so strange a sound a bright glare like a flash of lightning attracted his eye upward, and then he beheld, apparently coming directly toward him, a mass of fire “as big as a mountain.” Before he had time toescape it, it struck the earth aquartérofa mile away, and the shock ‘was like an earthquake. The party approached and found a glowing mass, which prevented close inspection by its radiant heat. It-cooled off gradually and now presents the usual appearance of such bodies, being a black shining mass of meteoric iron, but its huge size is unprecedented, It'is described as reaching a height of full twenty feet from the surface of the ground, and as being twenty or twenty-five feet in diameter! This seems almost incredible, but as hundreds of respectable ‘and truthful people have seen it, and all tell the same story, the facts force themselves on our belief. It is supposed, and with good reasom, that at least half of it is buried out of sight; but up to this time no means have been used to ascertain the depth of its penetration. : Upon the same day.a few small bodies fell in the vicinity of a schoolhouse, near Cameron, about’ thivty miles southwest of the scene of this strange occurrence, which were described as “fire-balls” by those who saw them fall. One or more were found, and are described as being meteorie iron.

The largest aerolite.on record to my knowledge is one <which fell in Asia Minor, and was estimated to weigh 25,000 pounds.. But this huge monster from the upper deep will weigh nearly as many hundred weights. = - The mind instinctively asks: Where did it come from ? = 'When did it start ? When was it created? Was this mighty mass of solid matter born of the intangible ether which floats around us, filling all space? How did it come? ‘Was it drawn or attracted ? Is it the same now in form and sub~ stance as when it started toward the earth, or has its meteoric flight-thtough incalculable leagues of space changed it physically and chemically?

The Temperance Cause.

[From the Bartholomew County Democrat:]

"~ We had occasion, nearly a year ago, . to criticise the temperance movemént, -as it was being carried on here, show-_ ing the mismanagement of its friends, ' 'We showed how, in our judgment,the cause was suffering by the intem- - perate dets of those who put them- ' selves forward as its champions: The * | justness of our criticisms have' never been questioned, . and so applicable | were they in censuring the abuse of a - prominent democratic official by a hot- - headed advocate, that that offense has ° not since been repeated. We are again called upon to*peak of the conductof the cause, in the present crusade ‘against the traffic, which here reaches its height in the winter season, gradu- - ally declining with the advent of warm -weather, to be again revived as the frost comes.’ In order to bring odium ‘on the trafiie, and those who favor the _establishment of saloons under the law, ~our ultra friends procured the names -of those citizens who signed the peti- - tions for permits, in several cases, and ‘had them printed in hand-bills and published, in order, as they foreibly:. say, to show the mgral‘portion of com“munity, who they are that are fostering the damnable institution of drink. In the third ward, 211 names were - appended to the petition of 'oné dealer, -and when we say that a large riumber | of the gentlemen who signed that pe- | tition, aré men of undoubted morality ‘and veracity, and whose honor, if put ~in the scale opposite would outweigh . that: of some of these ultraists who { are active in bringing them into dis--repute, we are speaking the lexact truth. We might say the same thing as to-the signers in other wards.. The . “effect of this course is,~to engender a - feeling of-opposition. Our citizens do | not view with equanimity the publishing of their names to the world as_ | men of immoral character, and being so stigmatized, it would l?e’irt;range “indeed if they did not resent'itdn some way.. -Lhey argue, “since the temperance' advocates have'made us a party in the fight they are waging against the rum-seller,: we ‘must array ourselves on the defensive with him.”— Hence, instead of having the saloon - Keepers alone to deal with, more than -4 majority of the voters of the cit‘; ‘ have been {dded to thé ranks of the opposition. Leaving out of the question the propriety of publishing the, names of'their neighbors iff this con- - |nention, it is bad policy. °lt makes {riends-for the whisky dealer, and in "'some degreé withdraws thém from the other side, when it is evidently to the | interest of the temperance advocates |'to reversevthis -and attach friends to themselves from the general -commu- ' nity thus' withdrawing the moral - support from the dealer. - . We would also suggest to the ‘temperance people that a man who owes - a-whisky bill at a saloon, and is, in -other matters “no better than he sho'd ‘be” by severdl removes, is not a good agent in a moral enterprise; there is : -also a eonsiderable lack of consistency int the composition of the man who will shield one saloon; while making ‘- war upon-others. Such an act gives -Tise to-the supposition that self-inter-est has somewhat to do with it—the proprietor of the'excepted saloon being in the habit-of buying dry goods of him. We are not a student of the . ‘bible, but we have somgwhere heard sometliing about a “beam” and a “mote,” the study and practice ;of which lesson, would not serve to der, .. preciate our temperance advocates in the estimation of the publiec. - : S > P— ) THE LATEST INDICATION at Wash-: ington of the tendency toward centralization is the announcement that - a bill will be introduced into Congress to establish a National Inebriate Asylum. The institution .is intended to- be a cure for drunkards, and, we presume from the title, for national drunkards. 'When men become habitual drunkards, -it is the practice, under our present system, to have them cared for at State or city insti- ' tutions, in' case their families do not assume the charge. There is no necessity, then, for such an institution -as is now proposed for local drunkards, and its establishment could only be Jjustified on the ground that ‘there is a large class of national drunkards, ‘whom nobody—-State, ¢county, city nor family—cares for. We should think Congress would hesitate before making such an admission. It might be construed as personal. Certainly the- - drunkard must be limited to - the District of Columbia, and mainly - there to'the Departments and halls of Congress. Has the species become so numerous in' these places that the Government must set up a special asylum to care for them ? . t e e T e e - THE GOVERNMENT INFORMER has now turned up in Boston, and the large house of Jordon, Marsh & Co, are reported as having imported goods | under irregular inyvoices t%r ten years past, and to an extent that renders them liable to penalties 0&3&515,060',000,‘ : The frequency of these diseoveries, a full list of which in New York were recently published, leaves little doubt that there has been a very general and very large evasion of custom dufies under the present tariff. While it is well that irregularities should be exposed and. punished, ‘what shall we say of a system, under which: an exteusive and cestly array of customs. officers have permitted these irregularities to go on for yéars under their . very eyes? It is significant that only the reward offered to spies' under the United States statute has succeeded in‘exposing the frauds; and, though it is the United States Government which' has been swindled with the connivance, or under the ignorance, of corrupt or inefficient Custom-House officials, it is forced to divide with the spies and informers if it hopes to get its own. This is a sorry:commenton - %the character of our civil service.
