with mustang teams were told in cabin
and by the camp-fire. None of these
bold pioneer stage drivers were ofteaer
mentioned than young Charlie Park-
hurst. To know One-Eyed Charlie, as
he was called, from -the fact of having
lost an eye in a fight with highwaymen,
was to respect ana sdjnire him for quiet,
courageous character.
Tired of stage driving, Parkhurst sought
more congenial pursuits, and was made
time station^ agent for the stage com
pany, when 'coaches plied between San
Jose and Watsonville. ' Atone rime he
was put in possession of and held a dis
puted tract of laud now valued at $20,-
000, when the struggle over the property
was so bitter that only a brave, deter
mined man was believed equal to the
task of holding it. v
After an eventful career in California
Parkhurst was found dead in bed at
Watsonville on December 29, 1870.
Then the startling fact was revealed that
Charlie Parkhurst was a woman. Sub
sequent investigation established beyond
donbt the identity of the famous jehu
with Charlotte Parkhurst, the eloping
belle of Sindusky. A singular circum
stance is that until recenty, after the
lapse of over six years, no effort has
been made either by public officers
friends of the woman to settle up the
estate. She left no deed, and the exact
value or description of her property his
been shrouded in mystery.

A Woman's Doable IAte.
The application of Peter Elehebaxne,
Of San Jose for letters of administration
on the estate ‘of Charlotte Parkhurst, in
Banttf Cruz County, CaL, has made pub
lic a remarkable story of a woman’s dual
life. Early in the spring of 1848 the
people of Sandusky, Ohio, were startled
by the discovery that Miss Charlotte

Since the fight at Sabine Cross Roads,
Louisiana, in that memorable “cotton
expedition,” as it was called, I have had
no fear of personal danger. That was
the first time I had ever been under tire
(I was then in my eighteenth year), and,
as I had nothing to do but to sit astride
of my horse and await orders, while the
bullets were whistling freely about us
all—General Franklin, commander of the
Nineteenth corps, and General Emory,
commander of the First division, and the
aids and orderlies—I concluded that I
would seek shelter behind a large tree
only a few feet away, and did so; hut I
had not fairly settled myself in my new
position before the bark of the tree, torn
by a Confederate bullet, struck me in the
face. Then I was scared, and determined
within my own mind that I would be as
safe one place as another. I immediately
returned to my former post, and as I
reigned up my little gray pony broadside
to the enemy and in line with several
other orderlies, a bullet struck my com

, The Superintendent of the Peniten
tiary, while conducting a party of ladies
and gentleman through the establish

. ‘ ‘I* proverbial, you know, how many
innocent men you find in the peniten

do not like to acknowledge their guilt.
Say,” he called, addressing a convict,

the experiences. ’That night our army
fell bapk to Pleasant Hill, and in the
fight next day I was kept busy carrying
messages and taking prisoners to the.
rear. In one of these expeditions I saw,
perhaps a hundred yards back of the line
of battle, a soldier, or rather a member of
the 17Sd New York infantry, standing
up behind one of those log corn-cribs,
pale with terror. The next moment he
was a corpse, a bullet from the Confeder
ate lines passing between the logs on both
sides of the crib and entering his heart.
The poor fellow -was actually a coward,
probably couldn’t help it, but the bullet
found mm in his apparently safe retreat.
That circumstance confirmed me in my
belief that nothing I might do would
save me from meeting a bullet if it was
to be my lot; and strange to say, al
though my duties as a messenger were
dangerous, and I often beard the music
of tne ballets in close proximity to my
ears, neither my horse nor myself were
ever wounded, except once at Cane River
crossing, when a shell grazed my horse’s
can—Kansas City Times.
The night before the engagement at
Trevellian Station I was placed on picket
on a road leading through dense
•ooda, or rather thick underbrush, with
strict orders to fire without challenging
upon anything approaching from the
front. My post was a lonely one, and
the fact of the enemy being known to to
close in our front rendered it anything
but an agreeable one.
Everything went well until about 11
o’clock p. m., when I became conscious
of something moving toward me from
the direction of where the enemy were
known to be. With bated breath, my
carbine thrown forward at a ready, I
waited the approach of my supposed
enemy. Nearer and nearer it came until
I imagined it to be about forty or fifty
paces from me. Then I took aim as
straight for the noise as I could, fired,
wheeled my horse and availed myself of
the order to fall back to the reserve.
When I reached the reserve the men
were in line, and some of the old ’urns
cursing '‘the Johnnies” for disturbing
their sleep. Lieutenant N . an old
campaigner, questioned me as to the na
ture of the noise, direction, etc., and ap
peared to be' satisfied that no serious
movement of the enemy was contem

‘No, sir.

Superintendent, “who will tell the

Population Figaros.
It is only in civilized countries—and
Then came England, in 1801, with a de
cennial census, followed by Norway,
Holland and Denmark, also •‘with decen
nial periods: France and Germany every
five years; Austria every six years.
Even with these census returns, the
actual number of people living on this
globe is only conjecturally known.
In former times these conjectures were
very wild. Thus the population of the
earth was estimated by

The estimate commonly accepted at
the present time is that of Benm and
Wagner, the German geographers. They
estimate the total population of the world
