A little Eureka (Nev.) woman awoke tlie other night to find a burglar prospecting her room íot valuables. The SenUnel says: "She lay very quietly uutil he had concluded bis labora and transferred operations to the adjoining parlor, -when she quietly aróse, armed herself with a revolver which her husband had provided her with, and whioh was Bnugly onaoonsed under her pillow, aad tip-toed iota his pregesce. Cover ing him with the weapon, without a tremor in her voioe, she commanded him to disgorge his plunder. There was blood in her eye and determination in her voice, and the bold burglar weakened at once. He deposited on the oenter-table a bracelet, gold chain, and pair of eanings, all that he had managed to secure thus far, and meekly listened to a spirited lecture which the lady delivered impromptu. She mrand up her address by expressing a regret that her scanty toilet prevented her from escorting him to the jail, and ordered him out of the house. He did not stand upon the order of his going, but went at once.
