Here is a case which I never saw repeated, It happened in one of the mining districts at California, somewhere about the year 1854.

Of course, under such would I 'ave come to Moody's after help to circumstances, there was no difficulty in obtaining help, and four men were soon on the way to the fatal scene under Taggett's guidance.

They found the body of Stevens, lying upon the sward, near to a small stream of Water, just as Taggett, according to his own account, had left it. By the light of their ingle lantern they examined the corpse, and the left eye, the lower edge of the wound toushing the eyebrow. Of course the ball was lodged in the brain. After a brief discussion, during which the law was dis enesed relating to ooroners, and inquests, and the propriety of removing a sorpas before the coroner had seen it, it was decided that the body should be taken to the ranch. The corner could see it there, and they could tell him just how they had found it.

They asked Taggett if he would go back "Merdy! Why not?" said he, quivering more than ever. Good hearene! I hope you'don't think I did this thing!"

The stern men shock their heads dubiously. What could they think? There was the man dead shot with a pistol ball. There had been but one man with him, and that znan was armed with two pistols.

DE JOUR DE L'AN D'UN VAGABOND. Albert Glatigny, the vagabend whose New Year's Day e unpleasant saventures were the raison d'être of this elegant little volume, was a French poet little known outside the literary ciroles of Paris. His premature death, just as he was about to reap the advantages of ripening fame, stopped the increasing airculation of his works; and his poems, upon which his reprinted, are becoming extremely rare. His life was a curious medley of many trials and few triumphs, and some day we may be tarapted into recounting it for the edification of the Mirror public. Among his other methods of winning fame and fortune, was that of a dramatic career; but as an actor he does not appear to have boon much more successful than Petöfl, the great Hungarian poet, to whose career his own presents some points of resem blanco. It was whilst travelling in Corsica to meet a company of comedians, with a view of fulfilling an engagement, that Glatigny raet with the misfortunes hare- after detailed.
