The Death Of Min;ste- Orr.

New YoaK, May al.-A letter to
/ the Tribune from st. Petersburg, dated
the eth inst, says: ''l'he diplomatic
career of Gov. Orr, came to-a painful
end before it was fairly begun. 1t is
not quite two mouths since he arrived
IN st. Petersburg and presented his
credentials to the Emperor. He was
suffering at the time from a severe cold
contracted during the Atlantic passage
and about a week after his formal in
stal!ation in his new office, he was forced
to take to his bed. From that day he
did not leave his apartments. The
cold settled on his lungs and afterwards
passed to his liver 50 that his blood
became seriously affected. No serious
result was apprehended, however, and
on Friday, tour days before he died, his
friends thought he was slowly, yet
steadily improving, but OH Monday last
the last change came and he died quite

There was no discourse and the pastor
simply read the impressive ritual of the

short prayer. The gloomy little chapel
was by 10 means full. There were
some dozen ladies, English and
American, half dozen American gen
tlemen in black, and thirty or forty
diplomats in their brilliant, yet sombre,
court costumes. The Austrian Am
bassador was there, the ministers of
Drazit, Italy, Greece and attaches of
other legations, as well as of the For
cign Office. Mr.. J. l.. Orr, IT,, the
solitary family meurner stood side by
side with General Pomn'z. the consul,
who Wore the familiar uniform Of a
Brigadier General of the American
army. The scene was undescribably
sad. After the rector had finished the
service the dill lomatists walked around
the coffin and dropped each upon it a

Capt Jacks Drum.

Capt. E. NJ. Camp, of the Twelfth
Infantry, has presented to the Califor-
MIA Pioneers the most notable trophy
taken from the Modocs during the late
campain. being war drum found at the
mouth of Capt. Jacks Gaze, upon the
evacuation of the Lava Beds. The
drum was made by using the four sides
of small box, about as large as candle
box-say two feet in length, one foot
deep, and about eighteen inches in
width. The bottom and cover being re-
moved, fresh OK hide was drawn tightly
over each side, and securely fastened
with thongs of the same. On drying,
the hide shrank, and the result was
rude, though sonorous drum, which the
Modocs say was the only one they had.
Before abandoning the instrument, the
Indians cut large hole in each side,
thus rendering it almost worthless as
drum. The holes, however, serve to
show more clearly the construction of
the drum, proving the frame to have
been originally intended for other pur-
poses by more cultivated people. The
box is of sawed boards, neatly put to-
gether and fastened by eightpenny nails.
The Indians utilized it for peculiar
purpose, rendering it an object of es-
pecial interest thus an ordinary candle
box becomes memento of one of the
most noteworthy conflicts of modern
times.-.Sdn Francisco Bulletin.

The Tiger of the Air.

A few days ago, remarks the Trenton
Gazette, we saw two large winged in
sects fall struggling from the air upon
the top of the canvas awning in front of
our office window. Upon a closer ex-
spection they turned out TO be hornet
and a locust. The hornet had stricken
its prey as it was flying through the air,
and had given it a mortal wound, for it
died almost instantly. In few moments
the hornet lugged its rather unwieldy
game to the ridge of the canvas. and
then sailed slowly and heavily off with
1t. The hornet appears TO be constantly
on the alert for the familiar sound of
the locust flying through the air, and
darts upon and stings its prey with fatal
ferocity. When struck the locust utters
a short, sharp cry, familiar to those
who have witnessed their encounters.
The hornet has its nest and rears its
young in the earth, each pair having
separate round hole leading from the
surface to the den below. To these re-
treats the hornet bears the dead body
of the locust, where it and its young
feed upon it. In the yard of Mr.. W. G..
Cook, in State street, there is a colony
of these hornets, the ground being per-
forated with nearly hundred holes,
each of which is large enough to admit
the body of locust. The earth which
the industrious insects excavated in
making these nests or retreats forms
considerable heaps. In digging down
among some of those holes, workman,
few days ago, found half peck of
dead locusts, which had probably been
slowed away for future use
The Three Friends.
Trust no friend before thou hast
tried him, for they abound more at the
festal board than at the prison door.
A certain man had three friends two
of them he loved warmly the other he
regarded with Indifference, though that
one was the truest of his well-wishers.
The man was summoned before q tribu-
nal, and though innocent his accusers
were bitter against him.
"Who among you" said he, evil
go with me and bear witness for me ?
For my accusers are bitter against me,
and the Judge is displeased.
The first of his friends at once ex-
cused himself from accompanying him
on the plea of other business. The Sec
ond followed him to the door of the
tribunal there he turned back and went
his way, through fear of the offended
Judge. The third, on whom he relied
the least, spoke for him, and bore wit
ness to his innocence, so that the judge
dismissed and rewarded him.
Man has three friends in this world
how do they demean themselves toward
him in the hour of death, when God
calls him to judgment? His best be-
loved friend, gold, is the first to leave
him, and accompanies him not. His
friends, kinsmen, accompany him to the
portal of the grave and then turn back
to their own houses. The third, whom
he is most neglectful of, is his good
works. They alone go with him to the
Judges throne they stand before him
and obtain mercy and grace.
