The Pal Mall Gazette finds fine subject
for speculative inquiry, or for poem, In an
incident mentioned by the Shetland Times.
On Saturday, July 8, fishing-boat's crew
brought to land large draught Of fish at the
decp-sea fishing station, called Fathhaland,
In Shetland. Among them was large ling,
which when opened was found to contain a
human left hand, perfectly entire. Decom-
position had not set In, and 1t Is, therefore,
thought that the hand cannot have been long
swallowed by the fish, and from Its rather
small size and the absence of all traces of
hand work, 1t Is supposed to be that Of lady.
The hand has been carefully buried, and the
fish was destroyed, (which seems mis-
take" say the Gazette, Sin q commercial
point of view, for II stuffed and exhibited
In London as the ling In whose nav
u mysterious hand had been found hundreds
of persons would doubtless have visited the
exhibition, and the voracious fish would have
become almost as great q lion as the Shah.
In the meantime the story Is well worth the
attention of the sensation newspapers, which
might I'LL a column most agrecally by sur
misses US to the owner of the hand. Perhaps
| fortnight ago II may have been clasped In
| that Of lover, or II may have been the hand
of the Great COram street murderer; In fact,
| there Is no saying what the hand may have
been. il may be as well to mention that the
| ling belongs to the Gadide, an important
| family Of malacopterous fishes, and until the
dlsagrecable circumstance Is explained the
Gadidgc, and indeed all malacopterous fishes,
must not be surprised II they are rather coldly
| received at the dlnncr-tabc."

Mr.. Patterson listened. He saw
what he had done-proposed and been
accepted without having any Idea
what he was about.
He looked at Mrs. Muntle; she was
very nice and fresh and comely, and
ten years his junior at least, If she was
forty. He could not have done q bet
ter thing, and he would be married
without any troublesome courting.
So he put his arm about Mrs. Muntle's

had taken both his prescriptions, was

Negro Jurors.

A correspondent Of Cincinnati Com
mcrcial has been In the Red River
country, where the black population
so largely preponderates, and the jur-
ors are selected from both races. He
says: II asked white man who had
had considerable jury experience how
1t worked" He said ut worked toler-
ably we'll after fellow got used to It,"

But we have to submit, for il some Of
us white people didn't go on the jury
it would all be niggers, and that
would be ruin"
"How are the juries divided?" I
asked.
"Oh just AS it happens, so there is
some Of each race on every jury.
Sometimes there's only two niggers,
sometimes four, sometimes six, and
sometimes ten."
How are they about agreeing up
on verdicts ?"
"They are better than the whites.
The niggers never hang jury. When
am on ajury with them, and the
suit is on an account, say: Boys,

more about figures than a hog does

"I'll say this for the nigger," he
continued; They are not stubborn on

ence goes, they are always anxious to

A Greater Yosemite.

a correspondent Of the New York
Tribune says: A new and greater
Yosemite than that heretofore known
to the world has been discovered. 1t

Clark, State Guardian OF the great
valley, and John Muir, an enthusiastic
and devoted geologist, botanist and
mountain explorer. 1t IL situated sin
the Tuolumne river canon, seventeen
miles north Of the Yosemite. The
main Tuolumne river, which is q
much wider stream than the Merced,
runs through the great Tnolumne
canon. This canon aud its connec-
tions have an unbroken length of for.
ty miles. For twenty miles Of this
distance the canon IL shut in by ver-
tical walls of granite, some Of which
are from 200 to 500 feet higher than
the very highest In the Yosemite val
ley. The Tuolumne canon or Yosem-
ite. at Its widest part, is only quar-
ter Of mile wide. while the Nerced

to mile and q quarter wide. The

How Indians Get Their Names.

Dlt has doubtless seemed surprising
to many people, In reading the &C.
count Of the Modoc troubles. that the
Indians should be contented to bear
such absurd and uncomplimentary
names as ShackDasty Frank, Hooker
Jim. Bogus Charley, aud the rest.
The matter is explained In an article
in the Savannah News by Major
Jones. who, "years ago, when clerk
to the government Of Florida, assisted
In paying annuities to the Seminoles
aud Apaches and dealing out to their
papooses such names as Washington,
Jackson, Lafayette, Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster, Metamora. Paul Pry,
Zip Coon, Hail Columbia, Yankee
Doodle, and Others" This explana.
ton is as follows:
"Indian names, which are often
significant of some personal character
istic, or some feat performed by those
who wear them, are rarely conferred
until the individual has passed the
papoose period. Thus in every tribe
there is q large number of Indian
youths without names. All the tribes
with which the United States Gov
ernment holds treaty relations, who
have been swindled out Of their lands
from time to time, and removed to
new reservations. only to be driven
from them as tho white settlements
encroach, and the lands are wanted by
squatters or speculators, have for years
been In the habit Of receiving bribes
in the shape Of annuities In money,
which are divided pro rata among the
chiefs and warriors. Under liberal
construction of the Indian treaties
every male, II but q month old, Is ac-
counted warrior. and his parent re-
ceives for him his part Of the annuity.
In the payment Of the annuities the
government, for the purpose OF obtain
ing census Of the males Of the tribe,
requires that the agent and his clerks
shall enter every warriors name in
duplicate books, which, with his cross
mark affixed, Is q receipt to the gov
ernment for the money he receives
Thus, 1t will be seen, every warrior
II he is only month old, must have q
name to sntitle him to the small gov
ernment pittance. These nameless
warriors receive names from the In.
dian Agents, their assistants and
clerks, who often tax their ingenuity,
aud expose their want Of good taste,
in giving them unmeaning and ridicu-
lous epithets, names which mar the
nomenclature Of Indian tribes. Sin.
gularly enough. when these names
are given aud recorded in the books OF
record, the Indians, catching the
words, though ignorant Of their mean.
ing, religiously adhere to the names
given their children, believing that by
changing them they would forfeit
their annuity rights.

GOVERNOR DIX is winning golden
opinions for the manner in which he is
disposing Of certain class of bills passed
by the New York legislature at its present
session. He has just returned list of
bills to the Secretary of State without his
signature, and announces that many
others have been similarly disposed
Of because they bear evident marks
of having been pushed through to crafty
personal and questionable demands, while
the results they seek can, if really for the
public good, be secured under general laws.
This sort of questionable legislation is
what needs nipping in the bud in nine
states out of ten in the Union. We want
more general laws and less special legisla-
ton in this state, and shall not get back to
the old standards Of purity and upright
ness in legislative matters until such reform
is inaugurated.
