WONDERFUL DELIVERY. - Red
Frank Wheeler, who has been down to
the Genoa Warm Springs for some
weeks past to recover his dilapidated
health, tells about a chap from Gold
Hill who went down there at the same
time, badly alkalied from the use OF
too much lemon peel and water.
He tried mud baths and other
resources of the institution for 1t with
out much effect, until n day he took
a powerful steam bath-(90 pounds
pressure to the inch(, and 1t made him
feel wigglish down to the ends Of his
toes, especially in his boots. He went
out on the porch In front and sat down
a few minutes with a few other gentle
men, when suddenly he heard a strange
| sh-h-h noise close behind him. He
jumped from his chair exclaiming.
:. WHAT in hills that?" Nobody saw
anything, however, so he sat down:
| Directly there it was again, sh-h-h!
louder than before. He bounced up
like a gymnast again, and says he.
"that was you, jim; now that's
PLAYED out ; no nor Of your id sh-h-
ING about me-" Great was the laugh
at the chaps I'VE came near saying
Frank'sl expense, but greater still was
the wouderment when a big live snake

Gle, or something OF the kind, was dis

ready for a fight whenever lie moved
his feet. The snake was suInmarily
killed, but all present are willing to
swear that it came out OF n Of what's
his-name's boots. and that the steam
baths was what brought It out. Moral
when you get "snakes in your
boots" try steam baths for 1t.
New J~oss-uousE OrENED.-Yester-
day, says the Enterprise, a new JOSS
house. erected by the Yung We Com
pany near the corner Of Union and II
streets, was opened with the usual for
malities. The front OF the building
was decorated with the China-aster,
the favorite flower Of the Celestials.
The religious ceremonies on the occa-
sion were OF a very rare demonstratiSe
character. Three or four musicians man
ufactured some very discordant music
as each idolater went through big gem
affections before the wooden god.
After the services ut the Joss-house
were v the congregation adjourned
to the Chinese grave yard, east OF the
city, taking with them a roast pig and
some rice to feed the names OF the
departed. The pig was cut up into
slices and, along with the rice, was
scattered over the graves Of their
fallen brethren. Formerly the Indians
got the benefit Of the layout, but this
time the Cinnamon gathered up the
morsels Of food which they had scat
tered about the ground and brought
them back to town. to be consumed by
their poorer countrymen.
