"TThat d'ye mean by talkin about zephyrs ? I'm a tornado. I tear when I torn loose. Zephyr I Sneering. Why, I've a good mind to" " Please, mighty whirlwind, resistless tornado, don't hit me. You wouldn't strike a consumptive man, would you ?" "Wouldn't Ii" yelled the fighter, in a terrible voice, ' wouldn't 1 1 I'd etrike the tide of a mountain 1" "But a sick man I" pleaded the expert, a man dying of consumption, an orphan) a Btranger,- and a man of peace I " " What're ye giving me ? Do you know who I am ?" fiercely demanded the whirlwind. You're a gentleman known in Bodie as Sir. Washoe Peter at least, I've heard you designated by that familiar appellation during my sojourn here," answered the expert, moving oil. "What else am I?" shrieked the rough, striding toward the cowering expert. ' A gentleman, I suppose. Honestly, I don't know your other name." "Well, 111 tell you -who I am," end the tall man stood over the shrinking Etranger, aa if about to topple upon him and annihilate him. "I'm bad; I'm chief iu this yer camp, an' I keu lick the man's Bays I ain't. I'm a ragin' lion o' the plains, an' every time I hit I kill. I've got an arm like a quartz stamp, an' I crush when I reach fur a man. I weigh a ton, an' earthquakes ain't nowhar when I drop !" "But I've only just been discharged from a hospital," replied the expert. "I'll eend ye back agin 1" and the stalwart "bluffer" caught the little man by the collar and hurled him upon the floor. "It's unkind to use a poor," weak, suffering invalid that "way," expostulated the expert, as he slowly arose from the floor. "Please don't joke so roughly. Let's take a drink and call it square. 1 1 am very sorry that I have offended you." i "You think I'm jokin, do ye yetaee j me for a josh, eh ? I'll show ye what I am afore I git through with ye. Ye don't play me fur no tender-foot. I'm a native, I am, an I've stood this yer foolin long enough." Saying which, he dashed the stranger against a table and drew a long knife. As soon a3 the expert saw this he screwed Ma face into the most piteous shape, and, throwing his hands up, cried : "I'm unarmed; I haven't got so much as a pen-knife on me. Please don't carve me; kick me to death if you must have my life, but, for heaven's sake, don't stick that terrible thing into me." Now, as Washoe Pete had no intentions of using the knife acd thereby risking the tender mercies of a Mono jury's verdict he was well pleased with the opportunity thus afforded him of displaying the deadly weapon, and, after asserting his bloody intention, returned it to its sheath. He flourished the knife over the cringing expert three or four times, and then lowered it with the remark: " Why, dera yer cowardly soul, I wouldn't disgrace the weapon by sho'vin it into ye. No, sir; but I'll plug ye;" and he drew a revolver. " I'm unarmed, I'm unarmed dor't ye hear me ?" whined the expert. "Go an' heel yerself then," retorted the "bad man." " I don't want to fight" "I'll make ye fight. I'll take ye at yer word, an' kick you to death." "Flease don't." Washoe Pefca laid his knife and pistol on the counter, and then strode rapidly to the spot where the expert was half crouching, half 6t lading. By this time the saloon, was fall of men, all of them smiling at the picture before thera, regarding it as the height of enjoyment this lively encounter between the greatest braggadocio in the Sierras and a small, pale, mining expert, new to the section and a stranger to the wild ways of the border rn Jlans. "This thing has gone on 'bout long 'nonjh," yelled the "bad man," ideying Inra the crpeit. "You've tin c!..i-r.in' to till Fin ril ; d.

latter was dazed by ..the terrible blow he j had received, snd did not even throw up his guard when the expert drew back to strike again. Then the blows fell like thunderbolts upon the head and face, and the " whirwind " induced that individual to rise once more and attempt a defense. He made an effort to reach his weapon?, but the active expert flanked him and planted two terrific blows on his ear and neck; Then the " bad man" howled: " Let up 1 I was only foolin' can't yer take a joke, dera ye ?" "'Ye think I'm jokin', do ye? ye take me fur a josh, eh ? I'll show ye what I am before I get through with ye. Ye don't play me for no tender-foot. I'm a native, I am, an' I've stood this yer foolin" long enough.' " Thi3 apt reproduction of the " native's " speech a few moments previous, and its almost perfect similitude as regards tone was too much for the goodnatured crowd, and a roar of laughter greeted it that might have been heard beyond Bodie Bluff. "I give in, dern you, I give in ! Can't ye take a man's word when he squeals ?" shouted the " tornado," swinging his arms wildly, and staggering against the bar in his efforts to dodge the lightning stroke of the athletic expert. "I'm a howling hurricane of wrath." shouted the expert, sending in both fists with terrific effect. "Let up, won't you? I ain't a sandbag." "Not much; you're only a 'raging lion of the plains.' " And a swift left-hander lit upon the bully's nose. "Come on with your quartz, old ' woolly hoss.' When you hit you kill, and you weigh a ton. Fetch in a couple of your earthquakes. Why don't you chew my mane? You're 'chief,' are you ? All right, chief, there's a neat one

for you, and there's a couple more." With these words the expert "count ered" on the "bad man's" cheek, and then stretched him panting for breath on the floor with a " stinger," straight from the shoulder, inflicted upon the lower portion of the chest. Then the expert coolly called all hands to the bar to drink, and as the "bad man of Bodie " crawled away he was heard to mutter that ho " didn't layout to fall upag'inst batterin' rams, no moro'n he 'lowed he was game in front of a hull gymnasium."

They had scarcely settled themselves and locked fingers when she cautiously observed : "I s'pose they have soda-water in this town ?" "I s'pose so," he replied, "but the last thing, afore we started, I promised your mother not to let you drink any soda-water. It's the worst thing in the world to bring on consumption." She was quiet for a moment, and then, pointing to the left, remarked : " I see that Sarah is eating peanuts. I s'pose they have peanuts in this town ?" " Wall, yes, but your mother cau tioned me the last thing not to buy any peanuts for you. The shucks are apt to git into your wind-pipe. The Queen of Holland was choked to death in that way. " Pretty soon a boy came along with some fruit, and the young woman felt obliged to say : " Them ?.pplt3 and pears look awful nice." " Yes, they do," replied the prudent lover, "but I promised your mother, at the depot, not to buy fruit for you. Them apples look nice, but, if you git the tooth-ache started on you, then the whole afternoon is busted."

Tim Sepoy Jtebellion in India. It was at Meerut, in ?,Iay, 1857, that the rebellion first showed its traits of horror. On a fair, hot Sunday, in the

evening, the Sepoys rose. ;rut was one of the finest cantonments in India, guarded by several regiments of English soldiers, the scene of gayety and repose. On that fearful night it was converted into a spectacle of horror. The town blazed with countless fires ; the English country-seats were in flames, their inmates butchered, and the bodies cast into the streets. Fair young English girl3 perished under the knives of the Sepoys, mothers in defense of their children. The cowardly or hopeless garrison scarcely interfered. The mutineers next hastened to Delhi, and covered its streets with the dead bodies of the foreigners. The aged King was placed on his ancestral throne once more, and Delhi rang with shouts of joy. The revolt spread everywhere, and the astonished English seemed scarcely safe in Calcutta itself. But it was at Cawnpore, the seat of luxury and splendor, that the horrors of the revolt reached their climax, and the savage spirit cf Nana Sahib showed all its native brutality. The Ganges rclls broad and deep before the city; the English camp, stretching along the river, seemed almost inaccessible to the native arms. The Sepoys rose; the women and children fled to the intrench ment; - the broad space was filled with infinite confusion ; the heat was "dreadful," and Nana Sahib who had until now hidden his real pro, jects in a studied composure, took the command of the native army. He be sieged the English in their intrenchments; the crowded cantonment was swept by shot and shell; the screams of women and children rose over the horrible din of war. The siege began June 6, one of the most fearful known to his tory. The torrid heat beat down upon the level camp, an immense train of artillery in the hands of the enemy covered the besieged with a ceaseless fire. No help came; the barracks were burned; the sick, aged, infirm, were without a shelter; the garrison perished slowly, and happiest he who first died. The enemy suffered severely, but at last came famine, woe, despair; the wail of starv ing children, the pallid faces of heroic women showed that the end drew near, Then a capitulation was arranged; Nana Sahib promised the English life; but as the mournful, haggard train moved to ward the river and their friends, they discovered that they had been lured to their destruction. The boats on which they were crowded were fired upon or sunk. The siek and wounded were burned to death. A miserable thron of English women and children were left in the power of Nana Sahib; when the imghsh army under JlaveiocK approached he ordered them all to be put to death. Hired assassins entered the inclosure where they were confined, and not a piisoner came out alive. Nana Sahib, mad with power, cruelty, hate, was driven from Cawnpore; but he came back again. Lucknow had just been re lieved, but the fires of rebellion sprung tip once more in the path of the victor, As the long line of rescued women and children, protected by Sir Colin Campbell, were moving from Lucknow down the Ganges, they were suddenly assailed by a new peril. Cawnpore had fallen again into the hands of Nana Sahib; the defeat of the English under Windham had given . the great city to the rebels; the defeated army had fled to an in trenched camp, where it was exposed to the constant rain of shot and shell, hope less almost of safety. Nma Sahib ruled once more in the city where he had caused women to be executed in the public square, and where the tree is pointed out against which he dashed out the brains of infants. He was at the head of 25,000 well-trained, brave and desperate men, chiefly from Gwalior and the llahxatias. As the train of women and children came in sight of Cawnpore they vrrre bror.ght into the pr:ien:e of their chief foe, the horrible mender cf the rehchhen. To pave them TcvaCatap. I ell's flr-t t.i2.

The rebellion was suppressed in every part of India. CATCH ZXG JL riCKEHEI,. I landed my first pickerel the first evening we were on the lake. I am not skillful fisherman. I told the boys .hat I could do a little plain fishing, but I didn't want to be set down for any thing with any kind of fluting, embroi dery, knife-plaiting or anything of that kind about it. I fished from the shore, by the side of a veteran fisher, Ir. A. K. Dunlap, of Titusville. He knows eveiy fish in the lake by name. He can tell by the movement of . the line what kind of a fish is at your hook. Some thing ran away with my line. "It's a pickerel," shouted Mr. Dunlap, in intense excitement. "A big fellow. Take out your bines," he yelled to the rest of them, " Give him plenty of room 1 Play him," he shrieked at me. "Let him run! Keep your line taut I Don't give him an inch of slack !' Look out ! Don't let him do that again 1 Let him run ! Now, bring him in this . Look out! DorCt let him do that again I" By this time I was so excited I was on the point of throwing down the pole and rushing out in the lake, intending to run the fish down and kick it to death. I screamed to Mr. Dunlap: "You take the pole and land him, I never can. He refused. He turned and hurled his own pole, lance fashion, into the woods. " Here !" he shouted, running down the bank about twenty feet below me, stooping down and spreading out his arms. " Here I Now 1 Bring him in here through the shcal water ! I'll get him ! Careful, now ! CarewZ Steady! Ah -" And flip, flap, I had him on the shore. He was a beauty. A little sun fish, about three and a half inches long. THE OCEA.N FLO OK. Here is an end ot all romance about hidden ocean depths. We can speculate no longer about peris in chambers of pearl, or mermaids, or heaped treasures and dead men's bones whitening in coral caves. The whole ocean floor is now mapped out for us. The report of an expedition sent out from London in Her Majesty's ship Challenge has recently been published. Nearly four years were given to the examination of the currents and floors of the four great oceans of the world. The Atlantic, we are fold, if drained would be a vast plain, with a mountain ridge in the middle running parallel with our coast. Another range crosses it from Newfoundland to Ireland, on top of which lies a submarine cable. The ocean is thus divided into three great basins, no longer "unfathomed depths." The tops of these sea mountains are two miles below a sailing ship- and the basins, according to Racius, fifteen miles, which is deep enough for drowning, if not for mystery. The mountains are whitened forthou&anu3of miles by a tiny, creamy shell. The depths are red in color, heaped with volcanic masses. Through the black, motionless water of these abyt?c3 move giganti-3 abnormal creatures, which never rise to the upper currents. BAllEARISUl IX IXDIJl.

NUMBER 51.

THE ETJLE OP THE REPUBLICAN PA KIT. Extract froa Senator ThurTraan's Speech, at Bareiiton, Ohio. The claim of a party in power to & prolongation of its rule necesaarily involves aa inquiry into its policy and government in the past. If its past rule has been vicioum or unwise, prudence obviously dictates that an end, for the time being at least, Bhould be put to its dociiiiation. Now, has the rale of tlie Eepufclicaa party since the closa of the civil war, thirteen yen ago, been wise ami beneficent '? I thick that this question must be answered in the negative. It is not necessary to go into a detailed examination of all its measures ; nor could that be done in the limit cf a speech, or, indeed, of many speeches. Xor is it necessary to assert hat all itsmeasores have bee a bad and injurious. It is Eafiicleat to look at the general re sult, &nd see whether that ia good government and prosperity, or the reverse. Kow, certainly no one will deny that tliLs country baa for the last five years suffered, &3 perhaps no other country ever did euffer, from depression in every branch ef business, in every industrial occupation. The entire body of the producing classes employers, employes, and middlemen have been affected. Bankruptcies are numbered by teus if not by hundroda of thousand a, and the aggregate of losses almost defies com putatoa. The number of laborers thrown out of employment or reduced to half-time and duninished waged has been estimated by millions ; and, however exaggerated the estimate may be, the extent of the evil has no parallel ia this, if, indeed, it has in the history of any people. Startling ia the fact, and at first view almost incomprehensible, that, in a country whose population averages but eleven persons to the square mile, there have been, and there yet are, thousands destitute of bread. A single interest the moneyed interest has flourished, and yet nourishes; and that, it is to be remembered, is precisely that interest that has received the fostering care of Republican legislation. Kow, my friends, bo far aa this deplorable state of things is the result of vicious legislation or of the omission of wise legislation, the Republican party, or at least those who have controlled it, are responsible. From the 4th day of March, 1881, to the first Monday in December, 1875, more than fourteen years.that party had uncontrolled power in every department of the Federal Government ; and since then it has continued to hold the Senate and the Presidency, and so have the consequent lower to negative any measure of relief a Democratic House of Representatives might propose. Is there, then, any injustice in calling that party to account for the evils the country has Buffered and yet suffers ? Can it with truth be said that these evils could not ba foreseen, or, if foreseen, could not have been avoided or diminished V lie would be a bold man who would make that assertion. For, although no Government ever was. or ever will be, onur-scient and omnipotent ; although disasters ha?e happened that no rulers, however wise, could have foreseen or averted yet the disasters of which I am speaking are not of that character, and might have been foreseen, and, to a great extent, prevented. It is but juHtiee, then, to say to our Republican rulers, You have had every opportunity to do good and avert evil, and you have failed to do either. You have had opportunities such as no other party ever enjoyed to benefit your country, and you have, by want of intelligence or virtue, or both, brought it to the verge of ruin. It is time, high time, that you surrender the reins of Government. I now turn to another topic, the expenditures of the Government, to which too Jittle attention has been paid. I propose to compare Democratic expenditure with Republican expenditure, in order that you may judge which of the two parties is the better entitled to praise for honest and economical government ; or, to put it ia another form, which party ought to be condemned for dishonest and wasteful extravagance. Tits last fiscal yearof Democratic administration was ttjat ending June 3D, 1839. The ordinary expenses of the Government for that year, exclusive of pensions and interest on public debt, were $53,055,952. These expen-cs, cUted ia detail, were (on fitting cents): For the War P-parts.aPTH - 1,472 5f2 For the !N avy Department 115M)'J Kor the Interior 1 "purtmcat 'z '1 121 I or u.ii-ce!j.mi'Oiin. or civij 17, J".

Rut. ffciiow-ciazeni. there id one preat drama of fraud, one huge Hack spot upon the national escntctseon, that cannot be pAed by with a mere slim-ion. Tlie seat ct the Chk f Magistrate that seat that in times paf't hss been, and iu all times elionld b a.n c-cublt:ia of purity and honor is occupied by mtxt who was never elected to it, snd Vhoo elevation wis accomplished by tho grosfes-t frauds and boldest - unurpations that ever disgraced the history cf a free people. I have no timo to

day to go into a detailed statement of these frauds and usurpations. I have no tune to show you how the Returning Hoard cf Florida, in plsia violation of the law of the State, in equally plain violation of the column decision of the highest court of tho State, threw out a number of Democratic ballots to give the vote of the State to the Hayes electors, 'instead cf to the Tilden electors, who bad been chosen by the people. Nor how, ia like manner, the Returning Board of Louisiana threw out from 6,000 to 8,000 votes given to the Tilden electors thereby disfranchising the people of whole precincts and counties, and eonipletelv reversing the vote of the State. Nor how, by a vote of eight to seven in the Electoral Commission, all inquiry into these frauds n, d im:.' t. ns was precluded, and l',e Ji'';-...! f.l ...!v mnoonced and acted uf t:- 10 r ;r ly what frauds, no matter I 1" M. , bo matter by what usurprtuns, a l'.A irr.-i1 or Canvassing Board may d. f( st V o will cf the people, the wrong is rcmeh e-, t' oi.r.rt.tution is powerless, the peoi le are Li'; -s ami usurpation must triumph and prevail. These, fellow-citizens, are now all matters of history ; bnt, although tho erroneens decision by which Congress counted in Hayes and Wheeler may r..t 1'" reversible, that fact only 11, A.. s it th n ncambent upon the j c r T t) c: 1 u 11 e decision, and the means t y v, . it v V r." '.t about. If such an usuijat a t n f 1 out rebuke, it will soon be in van totali rf constitutional modes and Lot.' t C el.o' If the will of the people can with livpim'y lo overthrown by obscure nnd corrupt returning boards and there is no remedy for the wrt'tii, it will soon be the voico of such boards, and not the voice of the people, that will make your Presidents. And how long, I pray you, could your Government stand under such a evHtem, or what claim would it have to be called a government of the people? My friends, if the people ever condone this great 6 in; if they ever pardon the guilty men who perpetrated it and nearly every one of whom has been rewarded by office under the administration the most sanguine advocate of popular government will have reason to hanp his head in ehamo and doubt the possibility of its success. Yes, my fellow-citizens, the very existence of popular government, tne question whether it is possible to maintain it, ana to maintain it in purity, U now on trial before you. As yon love the institutions bequeathed to you by the fat Intra, a a you reverence your constitution and va'ne voor freedom, as you esteem virtue aod detect wickedness, you are bound, in no uncertain tones, to manifest your abhorrence of the great usurpation. Feilow-citizens, nothing in politics seems more certain to me than that the Republican leaders rest their hopes of a prolocgation of their power npon tho miceess thit may attend a studied and energetic effort on tbeir part to excite and perpetuate sectional feelimr. Anil nothing seems to mo more unwarranted, unpatriotic and d testable than this scheme. It is not enough that the South has frankly and manfully accepted the results of the war; that, waiving all questions as to the mode of their adoption, no voice is raised against the binding force of the constitutional amendments; that every law passed by a Radical Congress, however doubtful its constitutionality, or manifestits injustice and impolicy, is nevertheless obeyed; that a desire for harmony aod peace, and a determination to aid in the pnm-rv&tion of the Union, are umriiftakably aud plainly the dominant sentiments of the Boaf.hern people all this is not enough to deter the Republican managers from resorting: to all the weapons in the arsenal of tho demagogue, by which sectional hatred can be aroused and perpetuated, and a Klid North thereby created to rule with a rod of iron a prostrate South.
