A BOY’S DEFENSE, Tin* scene was in Sacramento street, in fr mt of a well-known hotel. It was twen ty-two years ago, aDd San Francisco was in her infancy. Quite a crowd had gathered on the street, i hihl the centre of attraction was a big fel low. who stood with a newspaper in his hand, raving and cursing. - * • •‘What’s the matter, Wolf?" asked a new-comer, who was evidently faurfiiar With the irate man. *■ Matter ?’’ returned Wolf, for that was his name, “ matter enough, an’ rough, dliough i'. .1 he for some folks.

Working himself up into his very worst mood—and his best was bad enough, heaven knows—Wolf tore the paper to atoms and started for the publication office. He was followed by a curious rabble, most of whom were elated with the prospect of a murder, though there were some present who would have remonstrated with the evil-hearted man, had they dared. “ Jest you watch,” said \Volf,’as he'reach ed the door, “ if ye want to see the’r bloody carcasses tumble out o’ the winder! It won’t be long. I don’t spend much time on sich fellers.” It was the intention of the cruel-hearted man actually to cut the throats of tl>e two boyish journalists and throw their bodies Cut at the*window, for tlie gratification of the crowd and the fur- ; tlier exaltation of his already fearful name. So, the mob on the street awaited the issue with feverish expectation, as* Wolf, flour ishing his knife and revolver, entered the rude frame building and rushed up stairs. All unconscious of their danger, the two young editors were busily pursuing'their i usual work* in: their primitive office. If they had heard the noise without they had paid no attention to it, supposing it was merely a street row .such they were accus tomed to hearing every day. Darrell was sitting at a rude table writing, and Karnes was at the counter arranging some papers for tiie- mail. They heard the clatter of heavy boots on the stairs, but supposed it was some rough miner coming up to subscribe for the paper, or, perhaps, to see .a lawyer who occupied a couple of rooms on the same floor ; for thd building was only a two-story olle, and the second floor was occupied exclusively by them and an attorney—their rooms be ing separated from his by a narrow hall way that was reached by the flight of stairs alluded to. • “ Ahrha ! I’ve got ye, my young imps I” exclaimed the desperado, bursting in. JKaynes recognized him and turned pale. urally the first mark for Wolf’s vengeance. “Ye young devils!” he hissed, scowling like a madman, “Ye’ll never write, nor print nothin’ more ’bout- me!” Here he flourished his knife and revolver above his head. “I’ve got a sure thing on both of ye l” Saying this he looked about him, with a careful scrutiny, to see that there waS no means of escape for the quiet youth at the table, who, of course, would not dare to punp over the counter and try to pass him, but would cower down in a corner and take' his tum at being killed; then he reached across the counter and seized Kayiies by the hair, which was unfortunate ly yery long.’ Coiling the terrified young mans locks around the great coarse fingers of the left band, Wolf laid his revolver on -the coun ter without the slightest apprehension that liis.yonthful adversary would snatch it up and use ife on him, as he might have done had he possessed the nerve ; then flourish- j edhis big gleaming knife, deliberately, with pure devilishness prolonging Kaynes ter ror and pain. “ Now say yer prayers, ’d n yer, ’he hissed} “.you’ve, got. a couple o’seconds or so left —jest while I’m clippin’ ver ears off. I’ll take ’em first, clean ahd smooth ; then I’ll,cut vev throat* an’ throw yer oitt o the winder. Dye hear that ? Such was Wolf’s reliance upon the tei 101 his nanie'e very where inspired that he never | dreamed of resistance. He simply intend ; eAto butcher, the two young men,-and such I a thing as an obstacle to his will was not jto be thought of. Had Darrell possessed no more nerve than Keynes there can be 1 no doubt they would have both been mur dered then and there, in exact accordance I with Wolfs programme. “Time!” he said, grinding his teeth in an ecstacy of rage, and drawing Kaynes . white faoe closer- to his own repulsive eoun ! tenance. “They're a waitin’ to see your carcass .drap down into the street.” Here lie flourished, bis knife and selected his mark. “The right ear first. "Watch how clean and smooth I’ll take it off. I non t even touch a hair. J Kaynes bawled for mercy. “O—O don’t!’ the poor fellow shrieked, trembling with terror: “Oh don’t, Mr. Wolf. I clidnt Write that, upon my soul!” and he whined like a school-boy. “ None o’ yerlyin l 4 * said Wolf, lerocions ly, Ye both wrote it, an ye; and ye’ll both pay for it” Here he executed deci !j ded circles with his flashing knife, having [ apparently prolonged the torture as much i a * ha desired. “ Here goesj look out when 11 count three!” The knife was ready to > descend. M One —two—” • BAIN'RIUDOB GA., JUNK 15th, 1872. j He stopped and stared. He had not ob served the movements of Darrell during the last few seconds, and just as he was Upon the point of clipping off Rnynes ear in the ' polished manner he had descanted upon, he found the muzzle of a rifle thrust almost • into his face. It was a loaded rifle which, luckily, a 1 ! friend of Darrell’s had left in his keeping that very morning, while he wept out .to make some purchases.- It had stood in a 1 corner of the room near his table, end Dar- j roll had seized it, cocked it and leveled it with such dexterity that he had Wolf cov- | ' ered before he had observed his movements; and he stood motionless as a status—his cool eye glancing over the sights, and a ; steady finger on -the trigger.' i-“ You great bully,’.’ he. said, “drop that knife instantly. Mind, I come from a court- l try where they shoot squiirels only through j the eye. I can hit any hair of your big head that you will mention at a hundred yards. Drop that knife !” j The ruffian was fairly paralyzed. He re leased Iris grip on poor Haynes, who. sank" fainting upon the floor, and his murderous knife ffell on the counter. So unexpected j was this bold attitude of Darrell that Wolf j was more startled than he would havebgen ; ; if a dozen of the roughest men in Califor- : ilia ini' i assailed him. ' There stood the boyish editor, motion-1 less as the wall, and the muzzle of the rifle did ilot move the- breadth of a hair. Dar rell held the desperado’s life in his hands, j “ You cowardly bully!” he repeated con temptuously. “Don’t you dare to move; j I can send a bullet through your eye-ball without touching the white. Don’t move an eighth of an inch or I’ll cfo it, and throw your filthy carcass out of rile window.” •Wolf glanced at his revolver, lying upon the counter within two feet of his eyes, but he did not venture to reach for it. “ Dave to touch that revolver, or so much as look at it again,” said Darrell, “ and I’ll mhlrydu: * J jraub.v:e. mrrgt 11 be you are a coward at heart —a despicam* , cur! You came up here to murder two boySj because you thought it an easy task, and now you are pale and trembling with 'fear. I would kill you in' your tracks, but that I don’t Want your dirty blood on my hands. Go now. Turn instantly. . Leave your knife and revolver whei'e they are. — I’ll keep them. Go doWn to your friends on the street and tell them that a boy whip ; ped you—-disarmed you, and then kicked | you down stairs.” Da as I tell you. If i you hesitate you will never see the sun set.” Wolf, trembling from, head to foot, glanced once more at his revolver, but did not raise his hand. His face was pale and ; his lips were dry. • “Do you hear me ?” demanded Darrell, sternly. “Yes, yes, don’t shoot," said Wolf, turn ing about, as commanded.. He was thor oughly cowed.. «Do not turn your ugly’ face this way 1 again,” said Darrell, “ or you will pay for it with your life. Move !’ r - Tamer than a whipped cur, t:ie ruffian ! walked toward the door, and Darrell sprlng ■ ing over the counter, was at his iiee.s in an instant. “ Don’t look back, or ill kill you. Meekly obeying the imperative orders of i tiie youth, Wo if moved slowly out ot tne | room into the corrider. “Be careful ; don’t let that gun go off,” Wolf stanjmered, as he reached the head of . the stairs. . - At this moment the clamors of the imps- | tient crowd below arose with terrible dis-! tinetness, and one shrill voice was heard to say, “ Hurry up, Wolf, why don’t you throw them fellers out ?” • Exasperated beyond measure, he was on the point of .turning back, at the risk of his life : for after all his b.-agadoeio how could ul face these below, d.sarmed and chased out of the building by one of the puny boys he had intended so terribly to chastise . But Darrell was after him, and with one vigorous kick sent liim bounding down the wooden stairs, with a thundering clatter and rolling over the doorsill, the defeated b u l’y actually tumbled out upon the street before he could recover his equilibrium. "“Hello! how’s this? What’s up?” ask ed a dozen voices at once, as the dreaded man reappeared in this undignified shape, without sending any corpses flown from the window. “ Wliv, I simply kicked him down stairs that’s what’s the matter,” responded the 1 boyish voice of Darrell at the top ; “ and <if he comes up here, again-I won’t let him FOX THE RIGHT—JUSTICE TO ALL. <?ff so easy. Do not be afraid of him ; I took all his weapons from him.” j | Wolf struggled to his feet, rubbing his_ head, and presenting such a ludicroui'aph pearance that he was greeted with loud jeers and bursts of laughter. So .complete-’ : b' bad he tumbled from bis lofty- eminence ill the eyes of those who admired or feared a bold murderer, that they who an I 1 qur have dreaded to offend! TANARUS: word or look, now regarded him! i o*ty with Contempt— laughed at and deri-‘ ded him. | Never before had the rough crowd seen f man with an established reputation like Wolf thu's suddenly fall to such a depth # degradation. All his name, fame, pres tpje, melted away like a midt, and he was I i p ’longer feared—no longer respected by j tae low thieves and cut-throats around him, i bionly despised. Yes, despised bv the! iieanest of creatures, whom he had often- j times •bullied as though they had been hounds. . ' The dread which had surrounded Jiis’ 1 feme seemed to vanish like ami at. w Licked i h-y a boy!”' “ Kicked down'stair's!” “ Got j hid barkers took from him !” were the mur- < rhers of the crowd. At length a voice bold : •y taunted him with “ Where’s your knife ?” and another proposed “ Three cheers for f the boy that licked him.” . I J Looking very little and pusillanimous, he slunk away towards Montgomery -street. Such was Wolf’s mortification, when he mn}c fully to realize w r hat a pitiable figure* be had ciit, that he left San Francisco and 'fas seen in her streets no more. The fa tality which had apparently thus far shield ed and assisted him in his murderous deeds suddenly deserted him. ’ . * . i He was # deStined never to commit anoth er murder, but was himself shot dead in Sacramento within but three Weeks after •I|ie events narrated* I do fiofc know what became otKaynes, or yhether he is still alive ; -but I. know that Darrell, the brave boy whose coolness and , om .ure saved them both, is to-day a gen- ■ city of Nbvada-. A Mexican Pawn Shop. Yyhlliam Cullen -Bryant, in one of his let ters from Mexico, says I whs Curious to see the Monto Pio, a national institution for lending money, on pledges of personal property. It occupies what was the palace of Cortez, looking upon the Cateedral square, ahd built, it is said, on the very spot where stood the rdyal -dwelling of Montezuma. Cortez must have brought over from Spain his artisans to hew and lay the stones of this massive structure, which has furnished a pattern for alll the mansions of the wealthy resi dents of Mexico which have been built since. I found the great building filled from the ; ground floor to the roof with articles pawn- j ed by persons in need. The 1-ower part, an- j der the galleries, was crowded with every: kind, from the heavy family coach to the J light gig, and with every movable that could be sold for money. fn another part of the building, in a well-secured apart ment, and kept in drawers .safely locked are jewels of every kind, diamonds, rubies, j pearls, sapphires and the like, in tne shape of wreaths for the brow, necklaces, brace- j lets, eardrops, and every other kind of or naments worn by women. Elsewhere I saw garments of various kinds., from- the most costly silks and shawls to the plainest chintzes and coarsest handkercheiis. All these are appraised at their just vaiue, from which the interest for six months is deduct ed and the remainder paid to the. ow net; j At the end of six months the articles pawn !ed are sold by auction, aad if they bring j more than the original valuation the owner ' receives the difference. It is worth remark ling that the institution is managed with I perfect integrity—at least in sueu a man ; ner that there is no complaint of unfairness or wrong. I could not help thinking with shame on the extent to which some of qjir savings banks, established under pretence of aiding the poorer class, have swindled | those who gave them their confidence, and j W as obliged to own to myself that Mexico in this respect, was more honest than New York.

Under date ! of April li), 1872, Mr. Peixotto, American Consul at Bucharest, writes that all tha foreign representatives at Bucharest, except the Russian, had signed an uddress to the Government of Prince Charles, saying they had learned with profound regret that after having condemned several Israelites to severe penalties, the prosecution of whom was abandoned by the public ministry itselfi the court of Assizes of Buzio had acquitted all the individuals who were charged with committing the gravest crimes against tha Jewish population of Vilcoon. Secretary Fish, under date of May 18,1872, approves ’of Peijocto’s action in taking part in the . remonstrance, and adds : “You wm* not be backward in joining any similar protest or other measure .which the foreign repre* sentatiyes there may deem ad vis able, with a view to avert or initiate further harsh ness toward the Israelites Resident in or subjects of the Principality,” A Strange Case. The Washington Chronicle prints tie following : “Fifty years ago, in « little town in Deleware, a lad aged nineteen, and hearing the name of Charles Draper—only recently left fatherless, and believing liiu>self # wronged in. the patrimonial estate by bit srersmothur and her children, wngcJ a fierce feud with the latter occupannts of-his early home, and was even betrayed by a passionate sense of injury in to striking the eldest of his step-brothers.; For this offense of hot blood, he paid a heavy penally, for it gave the incensed lady ahd her family an oppor tunity to brand him with ignominy.
