THE STOItY OF HANG TOWN.
How It Oamo to Bo Called by
That Significant Nam.
The winter of M8-D was not severe in
the Dry Diggin'tf. The population was
made tip of Englihh-.spcaking people,
Sandwich Iwlnndere, old Californians,
and such as could get there before the
lide of MI) wet in. Miners from the
forks of the American rivers had made
their winter quarters there, and there
was, no doubt, a pile of gold dut big
enough to (empt the cupidity of enter
prising highwaymen. The log cabins
of the men lay along both sides of the
main ravine and its branches, and these
-were usually divided into two rooms,
the berths or fclecping-eribs being built
tip, one above another, on both sides of
this partition, whieh was usually cov
ered With while muslin; but the logs did
not com'; eIo.;a together, and they who
lay in bed on the one side might hear
much, of that whieh was spoken, even
in a low lone of voice on the other side.
Jt m fell out. that one night an Ameri
can, lying awake upon one side, became
interested in what was transpiring in the
Jiouse of his neighbors, who were French
men. It seems that there was a visiting
party of three countrymen there and the
entire company had passed the evening
playing, somebody losing heavily. The
occupants of the house had retired to
their berths, and one of the visiting
party proceeded to rifle the chest while
the other two Mood villi drawn dirk.,
liy the beds, threatening instant death
if cither of the sleepers moved. All of
this wa overheard by our friend Nutter,
-who understood French. The end of
the cabin occupied by his company was
next below, and only a few yards di.
tance from the ball in whieh we lived,
and for which wo paid the modest little
sum of $r,W 100 each-the other half
of our hou.se being owned by a Martin,
"who with bis wife anil two children
Jived there.
.Now il so happened that in tho long
'evenings and balm' days our little room
was made to subserve the interests of a
spelling circle, debating, court of jud
icature for the trial of imaginary o flenses,
and a court of equity for the settlement
of differences between friends. It had
.fallen to my lot to preside, and to this
date matters had been arranged so as
that all felt that even-handed justice
?mtl been dealt out.
Vtty naturally Nutter, the American,
made his appearance early next morning
seeking advice. There was no Justice of
the Peace there, for the laws of the
United States had not been extended
over this region. There was no alcalde
.except in the old settlements and mis-
-sloris. It was acy.se requiring prompt
dispatch. The villains might already
lie moving off with their stolen gold
dust, or, what was even worse, perhaps
-domiciled in our very midst, like a lion
in his lair, ready lo pounce upon some
-other unwary one. The result of a con
ference was that Nutter was appointed
Sheriff, to give these neighbors a call,
:tnd ak for information concerning
Ahose visitors who came and went in
the pitchy darkness. The Frenchman
refused for fear of venganee, until, upon
a second visit they were notified they
themselves would be arrested as con
federates unless they revealed what
they knew. There was a cabin standing
rtt the distance of, say, a quarter of a
anile away from all others.out in a lonely
ravine, past whieh men from tho forks
usually came with their treasure. How
St came there, when it came, who lived
there, what they did, was all a mystery.
One old man was sometimes seen, but
2ic was busy, appearing lo notice nothing
inn, his work. Nevertheless, suspicion
Jmd often pointed her finger at that hab
itation when omc robbery had been
"committed, or some murdered man found
"by the wayside, and when Nutter re-
-dJimed with his report that seven men
Jived lucre; and that the three robbers
xvcre a pwrt of that band, itrequired no
Jong speeches to bring the company to
s decisive stand.
.Locked in for the season by wretched
ro:ids impassable for teams ten miles
rtfrom the nearest settlement Sutter's
-mill the discover)' of a nest of vipers
at work in our very midst caused each
one to feel it to be important that no
time be lost. The two Frenchmen were
-warned not to move out of their house,
nor to communicate by signs or other--visc
with anyone during the day. Mcan--wrhile
word was quietly given to such
.as could be relied upon to act. Egyp
tian darkness reigned that evening when
Gutter opened the door where the
scvcn armed sat around the supper
table, and charged them with the theft.
In an instant hands moved to the re---volvers
bv the sides, a shrill whistle by
hc Sheriff checked them, and when
twenty brave men armed like them
selves came through that door and stood
iiround them, they surrendered. The
excitement was intense.
Ex-Judge i.usscll of Oregon, was
tJiere at the time, and as I declined to
take the responsibility in the presence
of one skilled in law, he took the bench.
Ji. court ws organized, jury impanneled,
prosecuting attorney and prisoners'
ounscl appointed, in order that every
hing should be done fairly. The result of
-Jiie tirst trial was that nothing beyond
-the act of robbery was proven, and the
three on Sunday morning received a
service of thirty-nine lashes on the bare
tmck, although none doubted that they
Reserved hanging. They had escaped
the gallows.
One of the men they called him
Trench Charley a short ,stout, restless
-fellow rftfo a fee tnat might index the
jkhiI of a fiend vociferated in his native
tongue against all the participators in
that act Soon it came out that there

firudeftce forbade the further
tao of the feateoqe, L e.f bankb-
menifiom the diggings. Il would have
been, J ike letting a pack of blood-houndt
looic to prey upon the villagers. The
excitement was attended by the mo;t
tormenting anxiety, as the court sat
with open doors day after dav, deter
mined to do nothing rashly. Men were
out in all directions, traveling slowlv
and on foot, yet getting over ground,
notifying all to come and look at tho
prisoners, who did not boem to be un
eas, being confident they would not
hang without clear and conclusive ev
idence. This they believed could not
be produced.
Little did they believe that their days
were even then numbered, and that
they would be buried, three in one grave,
with their boots on and the hempen
collar around their necks, and that from
this awful fate rhould grow the name ef
Hang Town.
The desired witness was mooving
leisurly along, little thinking that lm
voice would seal their death warrant
Once he had lccn asa:lcd. Once tho
knife gleamed above him and he fell.
When he revived he wjh alone, his
money gor.e. but the face of the would
be murderer had Iwen indelibly en
graved upon his mind. As he entered
the court-room with a friend he caught
sight of this Charley at once, his checks
paled, and he stood for the moment
transflxed. Ilystauders noticed all this,
and managed to draw Charley's at
tention. The robber looked, and in his turn
was surprised, but it was not much
astonishment he did not look long.
There are scenes in some lives that lix
themselves with the unvielding tenacity
of memory. This hardened sinner said
that his innocent life had been as a man-o'-v.'ars-rnan.
He had been a slaver,
robber and pirate, and when a-ked to
confess said that he had never ceased
to see blood from the time of tiie tir.-t
murder. He had not lo-t sight of that
face which he left for dead. All eyes
were riveted on him when he sprang
toward the now comer exclaiming:
"you alive! you here!" and tearing
open the shirt bosom his eye caughi
sight of the fear his knife had made, as
he exclaimed: "I'm a dead man! Thi
.M'ttles my case!'' And it did. Three
times tried for his life, and cleared
through a flaw in the indictment, he
had found conviction where he least
expected it. Two long lines of armed
men, standing shoulder to shoulder,
formed the guard, through which those
three men marvhed to the gates of dc.itX
that second solemn Sunday morning.
IVly neighbor had placed her two bos
in inv charge, that what I saw thev
might sec. I5ut it is a sad. sail sight
that of three men writhing in the
agonies of death, and we did not .itav.
The rest of the band were warned.
They kept olf.
The effect was magical. No stealing,
no running off horses,no murders; one's
purse migbl lie upon tho door-tep all
day, none would touch it aft r that.
The .story w:is told far ami wide. As

NEW ISLANDS.
Ununtirul Nataro X'roildlug: Now Land for
Man to Conquer.
fleographers complain that soon there
will be no more worlds for them to con
quer, ami the Danes have ever since the
loss of the duchies, looked forward with
doleful forelxidings to the time when
their country will be still further shorn
of its fair proportions. Nature is. how
ever, bountiful, and now, by throwing
up a new. island ofl the shores of Ice
land, it has added in an appreciable de
gree to tho territories of King Christian
and to the regions which still await the
explorations of the traveler. It is true
that the new land is only a volcanic
cone, and as it was the result of .subter
ranean lire, may, like so many of its
predecessors born of the throes of
mother earth, sink again into the ocean
from whence it sprang. At various
times, especially after some severe dis
turbance of llekla. .similar islets have
for a brief period hown themselves
above the waves, but generally, with
the exception of Nyoe, which was
thrown up bust century, have been worn
away by the action of the surf before
geologists could accurately examine the
volcanic scoria: and ahcsof whieh they
weru composed. In 1S11 Captain Til
lard of II. M. S. Sabrina, witnessed
such an Lslet arise during a volcanic
outburst in the Azores and proudly
named it after his .ship. Hut when he
returned a few weeks later to survey
and annex his acquisition not a trace or
Sabrina Island was visible. The fees
had reclaimed it. In the volcanic
region of the Mediterranean several
similar births of land have been re
corded by ancient and modern writers.
Hut the most notorious of them was
Graham Island, which arose in the
year 1831, some thirty miles off the
southwest coast of Sicily. For a few
weeks much ink was shed over it, and
at one time it was feared that gunpow
der would be burnt in the assertion ol
the angry claims which were made foi
this wretched 2,300 yards of Etnaie cin
ders. The names of Seiacca, Julia.
Hotham, Graham and Corrac were suc
cessively given to it by the fiery mari
ners who cruised around it ready tc
land and hoist their countries' flags the
moment the scorise cooled. Hut before
Europe was embroiled in war about it
Graham Island vanished and so settled
the dispute in its own simple way. Aft
er the destruction of Krakatoaby the
great Java earthquake in 1S83 twenty
one new islets appeared in the Sunda
Strait.and onry last year one hitherto un
known rose above the sea off the shores
of Alaska. In all of these eases vol
canic action has been the ostensiblt
cause of the formation of these specks
in the ocean. Hut in 1S71 Captains
Luzen and Mack discovered lo the north
of Nova Zerabla a group of islets jus'
above the sea, on tne very spot where,
in 1594, William. Harenti had found
soundings. On the two largest, whieh
were named Hrown and llellwald's
Islands, tropical fruits were picked up,
tossed thither by the northern extension
of the gulf stream. Hence the group
was named the Gulf Stream Islands;
and as the land in this portion of the
polar basin is undergoing a slow secular
elevation, just as in other places it L)
sinking, in the course of a century or
two the Arctic navigator may find in
tnat direction something worthy of s
flag and an entry on bis chart London

A SENSE OF HUMOR.
A Girt Which May f rMMl. list Cat.
Xot Jh Acquired.
What dull reading are the works of
an author who can not comprehend a
joke. There are writers likeSirTIiomas
Hrown, whows witty fancy enlivens tho
driest subjects, and there are others
who "hold a pen of lead' in treating
of the most interesting matter. Tho
elder historians mostly possessed a
keen M.n-e of humor; the page of
FroLart and De Comincs1 are mot
amusing reading. How drilv does the
latter remark upon the peculiarity in
the wars of England which recent
events seem to show is unfortunately
not obsolete in these days. "The En
glish are the bravest nation in tho
world in the field, but in matters of
uolicv their enemies ca.silv outwit
thorn", and what they gain in battle
they lose at the council thus
was King Ed bubbled and outwitted."
How uaint, too, is his description of
the so itary Parliament Louis XL sum
moned during his reign, when he called
it together to pleae the people, but
took care onl' to summon such per
bons as would not oppose hi.s designs.
What a contrast is presented by the
pages of Hurnet, who might almost
stand as the type of a man devoid of the
power of appreciating the humorous
aide of anything. Those readers of the
good bishop's ponderous "history" who
po.-scaa an edition with Swift's "notes"
addefl, may, however, find much
amusement in their perusal of the
work. The wicked wit of the tory
Dean play.s around the prosy text of the
whig writer, and is as cruel as Mr.
Harebell's muttered Fudge" in de
stroying the effect of the solemn narra
tion When, for example, in his pre
face, Hurnet indulges hi a long pcrra
tion about the .-acred duty of an
historian to tell the truth, and in an
excess of conscientiousne.-s, bids his
reader take even his own carefully ui
pared history with "a grain of allow
ance." Swfft notes: "I will take js
warning." Again, when HurnVt is
describing the' extreme length of
the services of the Scotch
church: "I remember on this Fast
Day six sermons were preached
without intermission. I was there my-
.self, and was a little weary of so tedious
a service," Swift has the cruelty to
add, Hurnet. at this time, w:us eight
years old?" Hut still more like Mr.
Hurehell is the curt "Sad trah."
Dark Non.scnse," which Swift appends
to some of the mot .solemn moraliz
ings of the historian. Yet witty
as was the great dean himself, his.sen.s6
of the humorous wa of a difl'erent de
seription to the genial humor of Chaucer
or Shakespeare. They laughed at the
absurdities of their fellowa; but their
laughter was of the kindly, good
natured description, in which even its
object himself might have joined. Tho
bitter satirical wit of Pope and Smith
Is of a widely different character from
the genial mirth whieh diverts without
wounding. It is the crowning quality
of many of our greatest humorists that
they are humorous without being
malicious: that their wit is thoroughly
free from ill-nature; that theyaeknowf
edge all the good in humanity while
laughing at its little weaknesses. That
some of their works are tinged with
the coarseness of their age it is im
possible to deny; it was the fashion of
their era to be. more outspoken than in
these days; and yet, considering some
of our modern literature, it is diflicult
to see that the older writers are worse
offenders than many of our modern
brethren, who have not the same genius
to redeem their pages.
The sense of humor is a gift which
can not be acquired: it must be innate.
There still exist persons who will feeb
ly ask to have some good joke "ex
plained to them." These unfortunates
are blind in a mental sense, and can
onl' be resigned to their infirmity. The
sense of humor is lacking in them, as
the ear for music or the eye to appre
ciate a picture is lacking in others. To
try to cultivnte this missing power is as
hopeless as were the efforts of the Ger
man Haron (mentioned by Wahab, or
one of his correspondents) to cultivate
sprightliness. This wealthy Teuton,
being refused by an English lady on the
ground that ho was "not lively enough."
annoyed his neighbors in the rooms be
low by spending hours leaping solemn
ly over his table. On being asked
the reason for this strange conduct, he
gravely replied. "J'apprends d'etre
vif" ("I am learning to lie lively"). It
is a pitiable sight to behold a person
actually devoid of a sense of humor
groping dimly after the point of a joke.
It is the old story of the Scotch judgo
who, hearing a joke one day in court,
"simmered" the subject in his mind till
the morrow, when the point of the joke,
suddenly broe upon him. and he cried:
"I hae ye noo." Some persons never
attain to even this tartly enlightenment,
and will freeze a good" story-teller by
solemnry asking: "Was that a joke?"
Equally" devoid of avtrue sense of hu
mor are the persons who perpetrato
foolish hoaxes and utter poor jokes.
Practical jokes, so fashionable some
generations back, are the most idiotic
of all jests. What wit is there in being
a greater falsehood toller than your
neighbors suspect you to be? London

Robert Bonner, writing of the
groom who takes care of Maud S. says:
"He sleeps on a cot in her stall, and
one night recently, when the weather
was warm, but threatened to turn cold
he purposely went to bed with very lit
tle clothingci himself knowing that if
it turned cold during the night he
would wake up, when he could put ad
ditional clothing on the mare. If the
men who figure in divorce suits would
treat their wives half as kindly as this,
our courts would not have so much to
do."
