A Parson Rugged Against His Will

| A most ludicrous scene transpired IN a
place not a thousand miles from the city
eff Louisville, one night recently, which,
though little annoying 10 the persons
Immediately concerned, was yet 80 mao
cent and funny that we cannot refrain
fram giving the general outlines, suppress
sing names, of course:
Two sprightly and beautiful young Ia
dies were visiti.g their cousin, another
sprioh,lv and beautiful young lady, who,
! like her guests, was of that happy age
which turns everything into fun and mer-
riment. If the truth were told we fear
we would have to record the fact that
these three young misses were just lit
tie fast. They were fond of pl, lying prac-
tioal Jokes, and were constantly playing
all sorts of pranks with each other. All
three occupied room on the ground
floor. and cuddled mp together in one bed
Two of the young ladies attended a
party on the night in question, and did
not get home until 1880 at night. AS it
was late they concluded not to disturb
the household, go they quietly stepped in
to their room through the low open win
dow.
In about half an hour after they had
left for the party, young Methodist min
lister called at the house where they were
staying, aud crsved a nights logging,
which, of course, was granted. As min
i.ters always have the best of everything,
the old lady put him TO sleep in the best
room, and the young lady Fanny who
had not gone to the party, was entrusted
to the duty of sitting up for the absent
ones and informing them of the change OF
rooms. She took up her post in the par.
lor, and as the night was sultry, sleep
overcame her and she departed to the
land of dreams.
We will now return to the young ladies
who had gone to their room through the
window. By the dim light of the moon,
as they struggled through the curtains,
the young ladies were enabled TO descry
the dim outlines of Fanny, as they sup
posed, eaconced in the middle of the
bed. They saw no more, to wit, pair OF
boots. They saw it all. Fanny had set
the boots in the room to give them good
scare. They put their heads together and
determined to turn the tables on her.
Silently they disrobed, and stealthily as
cats they took up their positions on each
side of the bed. At given signal they
both jumped into bed, and on each side of
the parson, laughing and screaming, "Ob,
what poor man Oh, what man they
gave the poor bewildered minister SUCH a
promiscuous hueging and tussling as few
persons are able to brsg of in the course
Of lifetime.
The noise of the proceeding awoke the
old lady, who was sleeping in the adjoin-
ing room. She comprehended the situa-
| ton in a moment, and rushing to the
room she opened the door and exclaimed
"Graoious, gals, it's man-it's man,
sure enough" There was one prolonged d,
consolidated scream, q fash of muslin
through the door, and all was over. The
hest of the joke is that the munster took
the whole thing in earnest. He would
listen to no apologies the old lady could
make for the girls. He would hear no
excuse, bat aolemnly folded his clerical
robes about him and silently stole away.

The Heathen Burial
CHINESE oBsFQUIEs NATIVE RITES AT
BELLEvILLE.

lin Sing, a native of Canton, Cbins
died last Thursday, at Belleville, and OF
Saturday last the body was privately
buried by his countrymen, with all the
pomp and ceremony of native fnueral
rites. The body was dressed in Sunday
attire. consisting of new Marking snit
and placed in an elegant walnut coffin
which was Immediately sealed. At two
o'clock in the afternoon the coffin wa:
placed on a wagon-a hearse being ohject
ed to--and long procession followed
First came $50 Cinnamon, dressed in tbeir
national costume, walking silently two BY
two; after them followed the women en-
ployed in the laundry, then Captain Her
vey, his family and reporters in carriages
The cortege moved on until neatly en-
closed plot was reached, specially donated
by Captain Hervey fer the purpose. Here
the mourners formed circle around thu
graves, for, according to the Chinese rites
two cavities, larger and a smaller one ha6
been Ding. Four Chinsmen then removed
the coffin and placed it between the TIVE
graves. Mr. s. P. Daily. Methodist cler
gyman, offered prayer, which was in
telligible, however, to hut small portion
OF those present. ne cOIHn was tneL
lowered in the larger grave and immedi
ately covered up with earth. In thu
smaller grave, hole about two feet il
diametar, and as many deep, was placed :
tea pot, ricepan, chopsticks. and cloth,
ing of the deceased. On top of this wal
placed large earthen vessel, containing
cooked chicken, rice, and sailed fish
All of this was then covered up with dirt
The next ceremony was the placing of +
basket containing the clothes, the deceased
had worn on the day of his death on the
grave, and fire was applied to it until i
was entirely consumed. A number o
fire crackers were then exploded over the
grave, after which each mourner in turn
approached the resting place of his com
rade, and. interlacing his fingers, placed
his hand on the forehead, with the palm
turned outward, and threw them forward
thrice, accompanying the movement each
time with a low bow. This ended the cere-
mony, and every mourner was presented
with q small bouquet of flowers. On the
faces of the Cinnamon an EXPIRE ssion YVES
noticed indit ating genuine sadness, prov
ing that death raises the same feelings in
the breast of the heather as in the chris
tian.

. PROBABLE Loss OF A COMPANY OF
MINERS Chicago Tribune. says: A
singular reminder of the approach of
winter comes to us from Utah. Iu ca
non of the Big Cottonwood Mountain-a
locality famed for its silver mines-the
snow fer two or three days last week, fell
with great rapidity, and now lies four
feet deep on the level, with huge drifts
thirty feet high. A large force of miners
were caught in this storm far up the ca
non, and fears are entertained for their
safety. 1t appears that no one expected
a severe snow storm so early in the season,
hence the miners were not properly sup
piled with provisions. They cen find
shelter in the mines and in their mining
tents, but already it is thought they have
eaten all the food they had on hand. Half
dollar pound was offered to teamsters
and pack men to carry them feed, bat no
man dared attempt the passage.
