A pleasant apecdote is told of DR.. Frank
lin. The town OF Franklin was named for
him. While in France, gentleman of Boston
wrote to him of the fact, and added that as
the town was building meeting house, per-
haps he would give them bell. Franklin
wrote the characteristic reply, that he pre-
sumed the good people of F. preferred sense
to sound, and therefore he would give them a
town library. This he did; and the library
is now in good condition, and has been Of
great service to the readers.

An old Dutchman who had recently joined
the temperance society, was taken sick, and
sent for the doctor to prescribe for him, who

FUNERAL RITES OF THE Drearp TNn,.xs

FUNERAL RITES OF THE DIGGER INDIANS
A California editor has had the good luck to
witness the funeral rites of the Digger Indi-
ans He says the ceremonial consists in max
ing bonfire of the mortal remains of the
deceased, and the combustion is facilitated by
punching the defunct with long poles. The
affair is enlivened by the vocal efforts Of the
females, whose color is heightened by boun-
tiful application of tar. When the deceased
has been reduced to charcoal, the disconsolate
friends proceed to pulverize him by dancing
fandango on the ash heap.
