How A DANEuRY MAN ASToNISHEs HIS
NirE.-lt is very rarely indeed IL man leaves
Ms wife i'll bed asleep and slips softly into
the kitchen to surprise her by putting pol
lsl on the cook->toye. When he does, it is
an event OF some importance i'm the family
history. and the way he does it affords mate
rial for cdilying reflection for days at time.
lie first moiStcns the backing by filling the
saucer 10 the brim with water. Some of this
he spills on his pants, but generally manages
4" get the greater part Of it on the carpet.
Then he %lasps the brush firmly in his right
hand, and setting the saucer on the floor,
where 1t is handy 10 step in, he goes to work
anu for the next fifteen minutes a most
astounding complication of noises pro-
cccdS from that kitchen. There is the
whi>k Of the brush as it glideS over
The smooth places, and then sharp
rap as it comes in contact with an uneX-
pcctcd angle. There is Il sort of Kissing
noise made sy himself, and which indicates
that the stove is occupying his entire atten-
ton. And this is occasionally relieved hv
>undry cxcamations, which may or may not
have reference to the work In band-s,ch
as: "Ouch" y! "C-h-r-i-s-t-o-p-h-c-r"!
"M"rciiul Heaven! "Thundcr and light
ming! and the like. The final noise is a
snap of something like crockery, which is
slightly moved with proper proportion of
pure English. and about this time the sl,arcr
of hi Joys and sorrows makes her aDpe,r-
ance i'll the picturesque attire woman
always assumes at that hour--corS,1s and
hoop-skirts predominating--andt the sppctacle
her eyes fall upon is astonishing to the
tirthc>t extreme. The stove apne,rs in
a halt-dress uniform of backing and ashes
and seems to be taking a lively Interest
i'll the whole affair. while the man
of the house, apparently riveted to the snot
stands there i'll his shir,->lceves. staring With
all his might at spot in the Garnet. and
va'nly cndeaVoring To comprehend how it
all happened, while patches Of agreeable lus-
IRE illuminate his face aud shirt-froDt; aud
stove-blackinS and raw spots equally divide
possession OF his hands. lie has skinned every
knuckie on both hands, and broken The
saucer by stepping into 1t, and got the ashes
INTO The carpet, aud snapped the handle
from The brush. She takes it all in at Il
glance, and with true womaply sympathy
says: Well, hope you are satisfied now >
And The expression Of his face attests mora
frequently than words that he is Daub,try

Genl.r Candy, and receive full amnesty fol
the past.
Sd. Be removed to Angel Island, and

Sd. To be fed, clothed and sheltered in
their new home till such time as they
will be able TO MAINTAIN themselves.
Their women and children TO receive
transportation to Angel Island and thence
to their new home.
Gen. Candy Is of opinion that he can
promise Capt. Jack and some Of his head
men permission to visit the President.
The interview in the evening with the
Indians was very unsatisfactory. Schon.
onchise was quite hostile in manner and
speech, Capt. Jack pacific. 6ixty.nine
warriors were present at the Council,
twenty odd Of whom were strangers to
Steele. After the Council Scar, faced
Charley told Steele to sleep in his bed, as
there was danger Of his safety, and that
he would look out for him. Charley
sat beside him all night In the morning
Capt. Jack was decorated with warriors
hat and Schonchise was chief speaker,
quite vicious in tone and manner. Alter
he had done Capt, Jack made war
speech and the warriors hat was remov-
ed from his head. Twenty.three war
rlors were present only, at the
morning council. Jack and Solomon
chise claimed that these were all the war.
riors they had, not thinking they had
been counted the evening before, They
finally proposed that II they could be
left In the lava bed and the past be for
gotten, they would make peace, and they
wanted Mecham and Applegate to come
to them to.mQyrow to shake hands and
conclude q peacegf.I IT, e geVident they
treachery to these men. They
did not want Commissioners Rosborough
or Case to come TO the lava bed, but said
they could come II they pleased. Scar
Faced Charley wanted to settle the mat
ter and get away and behaved like a
white man. This Is all the Commission
ers will allow Mr.. Steele, to make public.
All this time It Is thought that outside
parties have been misrepresenting matters
to the Indians who came out few days
since.

principal Mormon organ, has congratq-

IN the herald, but altogether the tone OF

vor by all parties. The Mormons claim
he has been misinformed on the situation
here and reiterstes the commissioners TO
investigate best for their interests, All
the Gentiles are hopeful that a special
