Colborne Baber related the following incident before the Royal Geographical Society: A party of English officers from a man-of-war landed on the island, and meeting a company of natives 'armed with matchlocks challenged them to a trial of skill in shooting. Affixing a mark to a tree about a hundred yards distant, the officers made what they considered pretty fair practice, without, however, astonishing the natives, who, when it came their turn to fire, disappeared in the jungle like one man, and crawled on their bellies through the undergrowth to a point about three yards from the target, which, of course, they all hit exactly In the center. When the Englishmen protested that such a method of conducting the competition was hardly fair, the natives replied: "We do not understand what you mean by but anyhow, that is the way we shoot Chinamen."

Ills pupils ranged down from men of about thirty-five to boys of twelve, and as they came like the charge of the Light Brigade, they gathered stones and sticks for the coming fray. When within a hundred feet of the wagon it suddenly stopped and the two occupants picked up their guns and faced the crowd. The pursuers stopped and glared sullenly at the weapons.

"What do you want?" said one of the boys in the wagoa "Did you una holler 'school butter' at us?" was the reply from the leader. The conversation, which was long and evidently cautious on both sides, need not be detailed, as the boys made a kind of apology which the mountaineers were forced to accept on account of the guns. They turned slowly back and soon filed into school with many angry glances. "That was a close call," said one of the boys, as he pulled the iron cleaning rod from the muzzle of the rifle, where it had been all the time. "Yes," said the other, as he opened his shot-gun at the breech and looked through the barreL The cartridges were soon rescued from a bag in the back part of the wagon beneath the baggage.

In the month of November, 1850, there were eight primitive houses situated on the extreme point of a little peninsular far projecting into the Bay of San Francisco. It was separated from the surrounding country by a rocky mountain range, The eight houses were occupied by an American hunter and seven French fishermen, deserters from a French man-of-war. On the opposite side was another French settlement of five fishermea All the cattle owned by the two settlements was a single goat, the loss of which would have proved a publio calamity. Its master had brought it from France, around Cape Horn. Be sides the hunting and fishing people there was beyond these settlements also a regular farmer called the Irish captain, although he was neither Irish nor a captain.

lie was a Dane by birth, and a farmer all his life by occupation. He possessed a valuable stock of imported cattle a rafe thing at that time. Farther Into the interior, on the other side of the mountain range, was the Cornelia Rancho, a California manor house, constructed of rough beams and surrounded by mud and cattle instead of gardens, parks, green grass and flowers. Cornelia was a native grandee, and claimed the right to four hundred miles of territory. Although the invasion of her country by the gold-hunters bad swept away the greater part of her herds, yet there still remained over one thousand head.

In full dress, adorned with gold chains, pearls and Jewels, she looked very magnificent, seated in a large wagon drawn by two oxen and Bixteen mules, roughing it over a country without roads. This, however, was upon state occasions, and of rare occurrence. Her home dress was an old broad-brimmed, straw hat, leather boots, a loose white shirt, and a short petticoat of coarse, red flannel. She ruled over thirty Indian servants besides her son twenty-four years of age and homeless Portuguese adventurer, who, seeking a support, had drifted to that Eden before the rude gold-hunters dispersed the charm of silence, simplicity and ignorance that reigned complete everywhere. The Irish captain was not slow to perceive his advantage over the senora.

He, therefore, proposed to her to take charge of her cattle and sell to the best advantage, on condition that he should have one-half of the sum realized, which proposition was reluctantly accepted by the senora. The Irish captain now organized for the common defense by calling a general meeting, and binding each by a oovenant to take care of his neighbor's property, by armed force when necessary. But a short time thereafter a boat laden with stolen beef from the senora's herds was captured and the cattle thieves taken prisoners by the Frenchmen of Low Point The thieves were tied, put under a boat turned upside down and closely watched. The Irish captain himself escorted the prisoners to San Francisco the following morning and delivered them into the hands of the civil authorities. Instead of being punished for their lawless crimes they were set at liberty by the civil authorities, and retaliated upon the Irish captain by butchering and carrying off all his milch cows.

These thieves and this system of robbery received the countenance of rich and influential butchers of San Francisco, who furnished the means for these predatory incursions, and the money to retain influential counsel to defend and acquit, through technicalities of the law, such of the thieves as should fall into the hands of the Irish captain and his cohorts. Convinced that no redress could be obtained from the civil authorities at San Francisco, a second general meeting was held, and it was unanimously resolved that the residents of the peninsula should form themselves into a permanent committee, and assume all the duties of police and courts-martial No suspected party should be permitted to land. Thieves and other criminals should be. tried before the committee, if found guilty, executed on the spot Thus was formed the first vigilance committee that ever existed within the limits of California.

I THEY SAID "SCHOOL BUTTER." This Simple Phrase, In -the Mountain or Tennessee, Produced Strange Results. The people whd live in the thinly settled parts of the Blue Ridge mountains of western North Carolina and east Tennessee are perhaps as primitive as any in the union, though possessed of remarkable pluck, courage and withal a keen sensitiveness. Many of them can neither read nor write, dozens have never seen a railroad and scores have lived and died without setting foot outside the limits of their native counties. But they can all shoot a rifle that is, patrons has his name on his cuffs and collars, but there are some who go by certain marks and numbers. These marks are copied by each American laundryman and the owner's name placed opposite the mark so you will see that by searching through the laundries many a necessary link has been added to chains of evidence.

We have many requests not to mark the owner's articles with his name. This happens when a man Is leading a double life and fears that a fictitious name might excite his wife's suspicions.

A Girl Romantically Roped From Her Frightened Steed by a Cowboy. Among the tales of the round-up of cattle west of the Missouri river that have drifted into the border towns, a Chamberlain (S. correspondent writes, is one with a flavor of romance. When the cattle men had cleaned up the reservation and closed the Cheyenne the camp was visited one evening by a party from a neighboring ranch, one of whom was a charming young lady from the east, Miss Lettie Barton. She was delighted at the novelty of the scenes at camp, and readily accepted an invitation from Alexander Eenyon, one of the outfit to take a canter over the bluffs to the river.

They were near! ng the bluffs, when suddenly a black steer rushed out from a clump of bushes. The horse which the young lady rode 'took fright became unmanageble, and bounded away toward the river. Kenyon tried in vain to overtake her and grasp, the rein of her horse. His horse's best efforts could not bring him near enough to accomplish the feat As the two horses rushed up the bluff a sheer precipice fringed with tree-tops appeared a few rods ahead, but Kenyon, who had anticipated the danger, suddenly reined in bis horse and swung his rope lariat about liis head and sent it coiling into the air. The loop fell about the shoulders of the frightened girl The cowboy's horse reared back, the rope tightened, and the girl was lifted from the saddle and drawn to the heavily tufted prairie sod.

The girl half unconscious, was borne back to camp by her cavalier, who was prouder of his exploit that the cowboy who beat the steer-roping record last year.
