From the New York San." "Bah ! on these third-class stace rob bers 1" contemptuously exolaiincd the grizzly headed old mountaineer, as he felt around to his hip to see if his re volver was still there. "Folks try to make out that this black lulls excite ment it the equal of the rush to Cali- forny. but it's all bosh. . There's lots of greenhorns, heaps oi gamblers, and a few footpads and stage robbers, but they are all third class. Ye ought to have lived on the slope when the old Nugget state was panning out the dust from ten thousand diggings, an' wheu stage-robbin' an throat-cuttin was did up in first-class style, diy or night." Being invited to relate some thing, he spread out his big teet, braced his back against the hind wheel of a prairie schooner, and said: "Wal,itjust makes me sick to Inar these recruits take on an' see 'em grow pale over reports that some of the stages has been stopped an' the folks robbed of a few dollars. Why, sir, I've seen the time when a single man, an' not a big man at that, stood in the centre of a trail, halted A COACH FULL 0 MEN, Each ono armed, an' made 'em hop down and baud over dust enough to set anybody up in the bankin' busi ness and plenty left over to start a circus on ! That was bizness, that was, an' the victim couldn't help but feel like pattin' the feller on the back for his nerve. Ye've heard o' Hank Monk, I reckon ?" "Yes." "Wa'al, there's fifty just as good drivers as he was, and fifty braver men, but Hank got into the newspa pers, and tolks thought him a preach er, a driver, a grizzly, a buffalo, an' a rattlesnake all rolled inter ono. Mind ye, I ain't sayin' a word agin' him, but I was just thinkin' of how I was a passenger in his coach once when it cost me a bullet through the shoulder to do what he could have done with out even stopping the stage. Tuar' was a chap called Prince Charlie, who used to imagine that Fargo's coaches were put on the line on purpose to bring hint dust. He was a fine look in' chap, standin' about six feet high, half Texas an' half Mexican, an' he had eyes like coals o' fire. THAT CUAP. Hung along in the bad spots in the llocky mountains for ono hull sum mer, an' I guess he collected hard on to a hundred thousand dollars. lie didn't have any partners in the biz ness, but played a lone hand every time, an alius raked in the stakes, He didn't stop every stage oh, no. He'd halt an' rob one today in Apple Blossom Canon, and then, two, tiiree or four weeks after, he'd tunl up on Scott's hill, or Betsy Jane gulch, or fifty miles from the other spot. Folks thought he had just about lime to dig down into Mexico, put his dust v-itcr safe hands an' then return, and per haps that was tin game. I reckon read about dozens o these chaps, and therefore ye don't remem ber this one J out 1 tell ye ne goi to be a terror. As nobody could say when ht would cry 'Halt 1' to a stage, even brave men hated to travel in that fashion. Prince Charlie was a dead g)0ta.wouldn't take a word o' chin ; an' sometimes he shot down a pas nenger or two just to increase the ie spect of the rest. I was kinder spec- ulatin around in tnose aavs, an it was a poor mornin' when 1 couldn't Hhow up the halt of $10,000. I was gettio' ready to leave the country an' "o back to Illinoy, when ONE 'o FAKtio's AGENTS Hionned in on mo one day, and sez he: 'Jim, why don't vou go to work . . ... .u... U:.... l'l,..i:l an lay out iuui i nn vusmi.i Kavs I : Til bet ye hity to one 1 can fix his business for him in less than a month.' That kinder brought us to terms, an' the agent showed up color strong. The stages were most de parted by travelers on account o' this one road agent, an' the company felt that somethin' had got to be done. The agent offered me a thousand dol lars in duM and a pound nugget for a breastpin if I could give the chap's bone's to the wolves. I wasn't at all anxious, ye understand. When a fel k-r goes out to hunt a grizzly he may tree a bar or a bir may tree him. In this case, if I didn't get the dead sure thing on Charlie at a second's notic, the top o' my head would go flyin' over the rocks, aii the old woman would be a widder. I thought it over for about four minutes, an' then scz I: 'Mister Gray, make it fifteen hun dred, an' I'll increase this feller's weight by a pound o lead, or chaw red sand till spring opens.' HI RAISED MI The extra mighty quick, an' I began to atiffen nr backbone. The" prince ha 1 robbed a stage about twenty days before, an' it wa then about time for him lo make another assessment on the ahareholdem. It was agreed that nrtthin' should be said about or bar gain, an' I was to be booked an put through as a regular passenger. I Jnuz regular passenger. I -tftlo make m1 owa prepara - tions, an' I kept shady till the stage was ready to pull out for the long trip. P'raps ye imagine I loaded my self down with guns, revolveis, knives an' sieli, but I didn't. All I had was a good double-barreled shot grin, each bai'l loaded with slugs no dust, no bagjage, an' lookin' kinder down in the mouth and played out, 'zif I hadn't made a cent. Thar war seven other fellers in the stago, an' Hank Monk was t ho driver, Wo went out o' Narysville on tho whoop, Monk havin'a rifle an' two revolvers on the scat, and lookin' as bravo as old Genera Soott. It wasn't my game to say anythin' to anybody, an' so I didn't mix in a great deal with the others. They w ere stout lookin' chaps, all well armed, an' part o' tho crowd said they'd gin a clean hun dred dollars to have Prince Charlie halt tho coach. TIIY PLANNED TO FEEL HIM In about a second in ease ho showed up, an' afore long I got blue from thinkin' I was to be lift out in the cold wheu the fun commenced. Wall, my boy, one afternoon wo was trot tin' along as smart as ye pleaso on a bit o' level in tho Rockies, when all at onco tho climax showed up. Tho eight of us were wide awake an' ready for bizness, when all of a sudden somebody yelled out 'Haiti' and that same Prince Charlio jumped on the trail from behind a big rock. Ilauk Monk pulled in the horses at once, but instead o' giyiii' the robber some o' his bullets be got white around the mouth, an' hopped down from the box an' hold one 'o the lead horses till the chap could come back to tho stage an' say, 'Now, then, you gents climb down here an' shell out, an' tho first man who even winks his eye will git a bullet over it 1' That was Prince Charlie's style to a dot, just like you would walk into a store an' ask for ten pounds o' sugar. I don't believe I'm a ooward, but when I heard him sing out, an realized ho who 1 had sworn to kill was right thar, all filled up for bizness. my heart jumped inter my gullet an' my knees wobbled all over. Only for a minute, though. Says I to myself: 'Jim, old man, brace up, or Betsy Jane will put on mouruin'lf on' I braced. Prince Char lio stood at tho door, A IJEVOl.VKIl IN KITH Ell HANI), An' tho passengers got down one af ter anothor as meek: as could be. mot a oho o' them spoke a loud word let alone pinlin' their pistols Pt thoohnp Wall, I war the last one out, 'coram to the plans I had laid. Prince Charley had the hull crowd to bco to, aud he didn't have but two eyes. As I got down Idrawed tho shot-gun ar ter rac, havin' hold ot the butt. Tho seven men were in line, their guns in the atage, and the robber was callin' out, 'Up with your arms hold 'em up : an' fur tho life o' ve don't even speak to mo 1' As I lit on hard ground 1 yelled out liko a pannier to mrow the feller off his guard, and then sprang around tho stago. 1 hen tho real bizness began, i yenea out i the others to go for tho robber, an' between watchin' them an' firin' at me the Princo had his hands full. I guess lie shet at mo four or five times under the stage, but I wur eanterin' up an' down an' ho didn't hit mo. I was workin' to get him confused an' mixed up, you see, an' I wur right. In a minute or two ho Blammed the stage door shut to keep the men from their arms, called out to them not to move, au' the blasted coyotes stood right thar in line an' novcr moved a foot while the rouoer came ior me. I WAR LOOKIN FOB HIM To come around the lead horses, but he took tho other way an' ein me a bullet in the shoulder from over the hind wheel. Lord, but wasn't that lead hot ! An' sir, big as I am it knocked me flat down, though p'raps the fall ssved my lite, as the Prince was tii-iii irom uoin revuitcis . n . I. - . L. I .... a n steady aa the turn of acollee-mill I ro d under the sia!e, nz on t om er side, and as true as'ye 'ar a sinner, I had to laugh right out to see tnera seven men standin in a row, arms ' mouths wide open I I felt the blood trioklin' down, an' kinder got riled. It takes a heap to stir me up from way down, stranger, but wren I get riled for good I don't mind nolhin'. That hot blood blitcrin' down my aide riz my hair for me, and I wanted to see 1'nnce cnarne wos nor he cared to see me. He had be gun firin' again, shoolin' right inter "he crowd, when I started fur bim. As I went around the wheel ho fired slap dab inter my face an' never touched a whisker. The lange'was too short for good shootin' and thar's men livin' to-day who will tell you that I LET CO THE CCS, ' Reached out my naked paws, an' the fust thing that robber knew be was bein' shaken by a yeartnqnake. He bad let his empty revolver fall an' .irawed his bowieknile. an' he eio . iK re trifles on the arms while I was sinkin' my tlawa inter him. When I got settled an ready, i inuu 1 Lim cleao trom Li pins, big as tie When I got settled an; ready, 1 liiwa was.jatntned him agin the wheel to soften hia hide, an' then flopped him down on the side and choked the Ufa out of him then and thar! Yes, sir, I did ; an' it took the hull seven men to tear me looso from him, 'cause I was riled, an wanted nav for mv in- juries. That's what I did to Princo Charlie, stranger, an' right down horo is the nugget Mister Gray gin me, an' here's tho sears to back to back it. Farso wanted to hiro me to drive stage on that line at bi! nav. lots o' men named camps nrter " me, the newspapers gin mo putts, air whisky didn't cost mo a cent nil winter.'' The old man shoved his hat on his left ear a little, and added : "There fore, straiit'cr. when I hear about these third class hen coop thieves etoppln' stages an' makin' folks fork over, I kinder fuel sick kinder feel that the boss days arc gone forever." The Man-Eater'! Heal. We published an account some weeks ago of this stivago animal hav ing killed a man at Petaluma. We take the following aocouut of what came near being anothor tragedy from tho S. F. Chronicle: Prof. K. II. Tapp, the celebrated American horse-trainer, commenced a week ago to tamo the Petaluma Man eater, as desoribod in lust Sun day's Chronicle, and hub every day siucu given public exhibitions of his process and progress in a temporary amphitheater in tho rear of the Keo ord Stables, on Market street, oppo site Seventh. Yesterday, however, the Man-eater olunged tho pro gramme, and attempted to taiuo'lapp iu so efloolivo a way that lapp emerged sorely wounded, aud only by a miracle with his lite. 1 bo Mau- cater, whose other immo is Cogniao, is a dark dapple gray Norman stall k)u, seven years old, weighing in fighting trim 1800 pounds, foaUd in Normandy, l'ranco, imported two years ago to Illinois, and subsuuuutly bought by Joseph Wooden, tho Nor- nun horse breeder ot I'utaiuuia, anu brought to this State, and dcohrod by horsemen to bo the finest horso of tho breed ever brought to Amorica. Until brought to Illinois he had been an exceptionally gentle animal, but, havinir indiscreetly, and prooauiy nlavfullr. bitten out a couple of uounds of an Illinois groom, ho was so injudiciously and brutally beaten that, as Deacon Duncan would soy, lie experienced a change ot heart, all his Intent deviltry was developed, aud he has ever since been the terror ot all whom noocssity have thrown into his company. With the excep tion of occasionally eating a hostler ho is an Snvaluablo brute, and Mr. Wooden consigned him to Mr. Tapp to havo him curod of this solo litllo foible. Yesterday at two o'clock the exhibition commenced iu tho presence ot about two hundred spectators, and progressed till half past three, during which time the horso had been han dled by tho Professor, at.d oven driven to a buggy, and appeared penoctly tractable and to havo kind of lost his appetite for stablemen. After being uuhitched he was crosshobbled by making a Btout rone last from the fetlock of his nich foro leg to that of his off hind leg, an arrangement which nermitted him to trot, but prevented his galloping as also his kneeling down, and which is whylapp still lives to again try conclusions with him. Tho horso stood near tho cen ter of tho inclosed circlo, and the Pro lessor about midway between him and tho inclosing high barricade, the horso perfectly subdued under the eye of commander. Somo person on a seat in the rear of Tapp asked him a question, and for ono instant Tapp removed bis eye and half turned his head to answer. In that instant the cratty brute sprang upon lain like a tiger. There was a yell of hor ror from the spe ctators as tho horse caught the man up by the clothes at tho small of his back, shook him as a teirier does a rat and flung him through the air against tho enclosed planking. Before Tapp could regain hia fuet the ferocious monster was again upon him, seiziug him with his teeth by the left shoulder and en deavoring to kneel down upon hitn, which is his lant and most ajtproveu wav of killing his keeper. This the crosdhobble prevented bim from do- ing, and the cool rroiessor, wiin iu shoulder still in the cruel giip of the monster's jaws, struggled to bis feet and with his right band so held the bit as to prevent as tar'as possible the succesi fal working of the horse's iaws. inecrowa was niienaeiT cited, air. w ooacn scizeu -a iohjj pole and poked it between the halter and the horse's lower jw and still further retarded the biting. The fnendi of Tapp called for a gun, but there was no gun, ana wnat is remark able in a collection ot '200 Californi- ans, no ono i:ai a revolver, tr mc murderous brute would have Wen shot head instantly. The horc and Tapp continued fighting halt, way rouud the rioj, Woudtti on tbc etaU outside still hampering the former's efforts with the pole. The spectators on tho front seats also did all they could to distract tho Man-eater's at tention, one lady seizing the crutch of a man sitting next hor and beating -the horse over tho head with it. By tho aid of theso distractions Tapp was enabled by degrees to draw his arm through the horse's jaw, the horse chewing it impartially as it slipped away from bim, until finally it was withdrawn. The crowd shouted to Tapp to jump for bis life, but the plucky trainer called for his whip, and with his mangled left arm dang ling by his side, so tickled the fet locks of Cogniao that that enterpris ing animal was again in what '1 app fondly calls subjection. Last evening the trainer was in tho stable ollice with a friond pouring an odorous lin iment over his bandaged arm, and the Man-eater, with nil his evil pas sions iiitlamod with tho taste of blood, was romping around his prison and eagerly reaching un for A mouthful of any timid spectator that ventured near enough to look down at him. The people will costinue to look for ward with interest to tho solution or the problem of whether Tapp will tamo tho Man-eator or tho Man-cater tame Tapp. Dcodwood Festivities. Mack Hills rionesr. The long weary journey from Sid ney had come to au ond ; our hero who had porsuaded a "bull team" in advance of a freight-wagon to visit the land of gold bad arrived, soiled and weater beaten, In tho metropolitan city ofDeadwood. Tho weary biarch was forgotten and joy was unoonliued. A fervent admirer of the fair sox, he sought tho dance-house, where "tako your partner" is tho only introduction needed. When the exciting moment of "gents to tho right" was announced his colossal cowhides smote tho floor liko the stamps of a quart-mill. Wbcro the welcome sounds of "balance lo tho right" ran through tho crowded hall our pilgrim uttered one long hoop-eo, and shouldering his fair part ner absorbed a tumblortul of burning fluid. "Partners for a qnadrillo." Our hero sprang upon the floor and extemporized A break down "Dog on my melt: I am tho tiger of tho woods. Come here, gal let's have some tar antler juice." "All sot," shouted the floor manager. "Scrapo them cat's in nards ond let's cod fish around." In tho excitement of "nil hands round" a heavy weight unfortunately collid ed with our pilgrim, and explanations' wore of no avail. "I am bad," shout ed our hero; "let mo at hia; let me chaw his mane; I'm acayote. Let go my harness; I'm A yellow-tailed wolf; let mo pick his eyes out; I'm a woolly liorso hard to curry, hoop-ce; I'm an elephant; I'm" Just then ho trod on the favored corn of A hardy herder, who pasted our horo ono bo twocn the eyes, which seated him vi olently on tho floor. As ho roso, blowing tho ruby fluid from bis nasal promontory ho reiterated: "I'm au elephant, but ray hide's tore." During tho last twenty years Eng land has paid to foreign couutries for fund aneordincr to the report of Mr. Stephen Bourno' of Her Majesty's Customs-$10.000,000,000. The re port stales that each member ot the community now consumes to tho val ue ot two and a ball times as niucn foreign food as he did twenty years nan. With this immense drain upon her resources, England would in a few yean be reduced to penury, wcrn it not for the itnmeuio sums of money paid her as interest. Tim United States, within the last ten yean, have sold 4.'),000,000 worth ot i rms and rnuuitions of war to Eu rope, and still tho demand continues. Hitherto Turkey has been our best customer, but now orders upon A lib eral scale aro coining from Uussia. In addition to the homo production opium is imported into China to the annual value of over $40,000,000, principally trrm British India. More than 100,000,000 worth is annually imported into California lor the use of the Chinese in that State. Dnring the year just closed the United States sold 105,000,000 yard of cotton goods abroad, ten times more than was exported the year be fore. There are sixty eight different sew- ., ing machine stitches, and A hundred and sixty-eight different ways of ly ing about them. It is estimated thai the wheal crop of Ohio this season will be worth $120,000,000, aud bar ?20,000,0OO. It is a Southern estimate that Georgia's dried pesche this year will be worth $1,500,000. j The United States annually nhiji over 100,001) boxes ot tlolhes plus to 1 England.
