The Indian Cemetery.

The following interesting description of the
manner in which the Northern Indians bury
their dead, is from the pen of MIR. Wallace, the
travelling agent of the San Francisco Alta
California. 1t is written from Frazer river
region:
Yesterday, | took walk up the river to look
at the mining and the wild preclhices that over
hang the river at the foot of the little CANON
had not gone more than two miles, before |
came upon an Indian burying- place. They do
not place their dead in the earth, but in sur
coPhagi, raised upon sticks, about three feet
from the ground AS soon a. dead, the body Is
tied by the knees and shoulders, aud thus
brought iatO a doubled position, as ifthe dead
would rest easier with the muscles unrestra inrd
They are thus placed IN the sarcophag in sit
tlng position. The bottom is shaped like a
CANOE and projects from the sides. They are
about three feet long by two and half high
aud two wide. The sides and covers are made
from blocks split from pine trees. The Indians
appear to hold these relics in much veneration
aud guard them with jealous eyes. As ap-
preached to examine them, two or three vino
were passing, silently motioned me away.
took off my hat and bowed toward the dead
whlclP seemed to please them and they passed
on. There were six of these sarcOphaT, two
of which had fallen down, and the skull and
bones of the dead lay strewn upon the ground
a curious combination of carved figures or
namenfcd the fronts of the tonbs. In front
independent of the dead, was row Of figures
the size oflite, with true Indian characters and
features, standing if to guard the approach.
One of them was a warrior holding a gun in
each hand, aud with expression so life-like as
to make me hesitate TO approach; there are
also women and monsters, each with weapons,
and maintaining u threatniug attitude. On
the front of each sarcophag, tie carving was.
very elaborate and truthful, aud embraces
bears, wolves, lizards, snakes and goats,
grouped in guardsome attitude. These figures
are paint red, black, and white. and exhibit
much skill in the use Of the knife They all
seemed to be WeatEer-worn as il long exposed.
Upon the tops OF these tombs were two Ca
noes, broken and worn out and in them were
placed broken paddles a broken pail a worn
out mat, useless gun, and broken net, fit
cmbIems Of the exhausted life of an Indian =
These tombs are always upon the banks of the
river; and it may well be imagined that
by the fire fly lamp
They paddle the light canoe"
upon the familiar waters which, to them, was
always lone. These carvings are done by an
Indian whose sole business is TO ornament the
tombs of the dead. | wanted to take away one
Of the images as a curiosity, but was advised
that it would be dangerous, they are held in
supreme veneratiOn by the Indians

FareWell, Lovely Summer.
BY C. r. EVANS.


F,reNell, lovely Summer. I'll bid thee ndieu,
lhlugh cannot suppress deep sigh
II, think that .hy beanIieS must fade from my view,
As all dropping they wther aul die.
Drear Autumn approaches and bids thee depart,
70 give place TO his yellow form,
Nor fingers a moment II give thee start
Ere he comes on the wings of ihe storm.
The lwers That sprang forth TO kiss thy warm cheek
La,keth sad whea thou goe>t away,
And gladly would ask-if permitted TO speak
Thee TO ever continue thy stay
The trees which thy presence hath robed in green
leaves,
Will be srIpt of their vcrdure by FROST
While songsers, once joyful. silently grieves
For a shelter suddenly lost.
Eisth too, mourns tiny absence, sweet of life,
And sleriliiy marks her broad breast,
As winter winds lash her in furious strife,
Till thou cOmest with quiet and rest.
My heart will be lonely till thou hast returned
With thy smiling and beautiful face.
And ycan. as in days fled and gone Il. hath yearned,
Once again thy loved features 10 trace,
Then come thou again, at His bidding, who planned
Thy departure, return. and thy stay,
To spread over Nature, the robe, with thy hand,
Winch the frost king will carry away.
I'll greet thee If living, whea thou shalt have come,
With song full Of gladness and love;
Or il, ere thou comest, grim Death strikes me dumb,
still hope To salute thee above.

The WESTERN HOG TRADE.-The Louisville
Journal of Saturday says: We hear of few
trdnsPorIations in hogs in this State for few
days, there being stand between buyers
and sellers. Out West hogs are offered freely
at low figures. house in this city was offered
t~e"ty tho"Saad dollars by telegraph, on Thurs
day, at two eligible packing points on the Up
per Mississippi river, at Il cents, net and we
hear of purchase at desirable point in Indi-
ana of five thousand head at cents, net We
understand the Messrs Quingley g. Co of
Bowling Gr.er, KY, have contracted for some
twenty-five thousand head to be packed there
this winter at five cents net. 1t is estimated
that foil 10000 head will be packed at that
point this season.

The Paraguavan Difficulty,

We learn from our Buenos Ayres correspon-
dent that President Lopez, of Paraguay, has
been getting himself into bad scrapc with the
British Minister Christie, receiving that distin-
guished diplomat with his hat on, claiming the
privilege of sovereign to be croWned during
the official presentation of foreign Ambassa-
doris, and finally running down the Minister'S
steamer with a man-ot-war, making a total
wreck of the vessel and her cargo and barely
allowing the Minister and suite time to pc
in their night clothes from watery grave
Judging from the past course Of the English in
the Rio de la Plata, the Admiral of the British
squadron on the Brazil coast will hasten to
avenge these outrages without waiting for in
structious from home. The British authorities
in the Plata generally act first, and wait for
appreciation or disapprobation of the nome gov
crnment until after the work is done and by
this means it is that the English always manage
10 keep ahead Of the Americans in those quar-
terS of the world.
We are glad TO learn from the Government
organ that the timid and vascilating system so
long pursued by The United States in the Plata,
is all to be changed by the mission Of Mr.. Bow.
lin to Paraguay, anl that hereafter the Amcri-
can agents IN South America will emulate the
firm aud patriotic conduct of the English. Mr.
BOwin is one Of the best men that could be se-
leclcd for this delicate mission. lie is a straight
forward, upright man Of great frmness, and
perfectly cOnversant with Spanish-American
character. lie was Minister at Bogota under
the last Administration, aud had some difficult
claims to recover. His conduct Of the negotia-
tion was bold and judcous, and had all his sug.
gestions been followed by the Government, our
relations with the New Granada Confederation
would probably be more satisfactory than they
are. We look for beneficial results from his
present mission, but would advise him to re-
member that President Lopez is a much moro
astute and unscrupulous machiavcllIan than any
he had TO encounter i'll Bogota.-N Y. Er.

A Good One,

An anecdole in Harper, says the Vicksburg
hhtS, reminds us OF story we once heard of
a revolutionary soldier, whe was running for
Congress. Ii appears that our hero was op-
posed by younger man, who had never been
to the wars and it was the wont of revolu-
tonary' to tell the people of the hardships he
endured. Says he, fellow citizens, | have
fought and bled for my country-I rave helped
whip the British and Indians. | have slept
upon the field of battle with no covering but
the canopy OF heaven. | have walked over
frozen ground till every footstep was marked
with blood" Just about this time one of the
"sovereigns who had become very much af-
iected by this tale of woe, walks up in front of
the speaker, wIping the tears from his eyes
with the extremity of his coat tail, and inter
ripping him says: Did you say you fought the
British and the Injinesr Yes responded old
revolutionary Did you say you had slept
on the ground, while serving your country,
without any kiver!' 'Yes, sir, did, Did
you say you had followed the enemy of your
country over frozen ground, till every footstep
was marked with blood! 3 Yes exultantly re-
piled the speaker. We'll, then, says the tear
ful sovereign, as he gave sigh of painful
emotion, 'Ill be id If don't think you've
dOne enough for your country, and I'll vote for
another man.

WHAT CAUSED THE DUEL BETwEE CLAY AND
RANDOLPH cause of the duel between
these distinguished men was the following in
suting language by Mr.. Randolph towards Mr..
Clay, IN secret session of the Senate in 1926:
This man-(mankind, | crave your pardon)
this worm, (httle insects forgive this insult,)
was SPIT out OF the womb of weakness-was
raised to higher life than he was born to, for
he was raised 10 the society of blackguards.-
Some fortune, kind to him cruel to us, has
raised hlm to the Sccretaryshp of State. Con-
tempt has the property of descending, but she
stops far short of him. She would die before
she would reach him. lie dwells below her
irll. would hate him if | did not despise him.
1t is not what he is. but where he is, that puts
my thoughts in action. This alphabet, which
the name 0t Thersites, of blackguard, of squal-
Idity, refuses her letters for him. That mind
thinks on what 1t cannot express can scarcely
think on him. hypcrbole for meanness would
be an elIpss for Clay"

Queen VlOtOria's Vislt to Leeds.

The English papers contain graphic accounts
of the Queens visit TO the ancient borough of
Leeds, the virtual capital of the West Riding
Yorkshire. The progress of her Majesty
through any part Of her dominons has become
proverbial for being attended with sunshine,
giving rise to the popular phrase of "Queen's
weather." On this occasion, however, the
Queen did not meet with her hitherto almost
nvariable good fortune; for the rain fell in tor
rents, or, as the London Times expresses it.
90 not in a shower, such as umbrellas keep off,
and standing up avoids, but in a nasty, sleety
drzzle, with frequent guststof cold, raw wind
between" Unpropitious as was the weather,
however, il did not prevent the citizens of the
Old manufacturing town from turning out in
multitudes in order TO do honor TO the most
popular sovereign that has ever sat on the
throne of England.
