A ToUoHNG INCIDENT. The Tribune
says that one of the most significant and
touching incidents of the funeral of Chief
Justice Chase at st. Georges Church, New
York, was when, after the services had
opened, the venerable figure of Thurlow
Weed was seen passing up the broad aisle
and taking his place unobtrusively among
the friends of the dead, Thrice-in how
short space of time this great politician
has stood by the honored biers of his great

ADVENTURES WITH PoT OF PANT. -
Old Mr.. Watson, on Nelson street, has got
nice little bill to pay. He sent a man
down town for a pot of paint and'a ladder.
The man got the paint and then went to
a lumber yard after ladder Then he tied
the paint pot on the end of the ladder, and
put the ladder on his shoulder. This was
very smart arrangement, and the man
himself admired it very much. He start
ed for home this way, and didn't find any
trouble in getting along the first block be
cause people had an impression that long
ladder with a pot of yellow paint dangling
on the end of it wasn't exactly the thing
to trihe with, SO they balanced along ON
the curb stone, or rubbed up against the
buildings Pretty soon the man saw some
body in n store he knew, and he turned
around to speak to him and drove one end
of the ladder into millinery case and
knocked the crown out of an eighteen dol
lar bonnet. Then he backed off in alright,
and knocked down two sewing machine
agents with the other end. Then he start
ed to turn around, and an old gentleman
who was desperately endeavoring to pull
his wife out of danger saw the peril and
shouted out "IIi, there!" But it was too
late. The pot struck against an awning
post, tipped to one side, and the entire con-
tents went over the aged couple. This so
startled the man that he whirled complete
ly around, smashing in an entire store front,
frightening milk mans team, and knock
ing over some thirteen persons who were
actively dodging about to get out of the
way. Then he dropped the ladder and fled
into the country, shouting "murder" and

THE YOUNG nUsBAND's pILEMsrA.

John had just married and brought home bride
graceful and brxom and beautiful miss;
And when at the altar he stood by her side
1t seemed the last drop in his full cup of bliss
Indeed she was one of the fairest creatures:
Her lips were like rubies, her teeth were like
pearls;
The rose might have borrowed its hues from her
features,
The sunlight was Knocked by her bright golden
curls.
With feasting and music the wifi moments flew,
Till midnight approached and the bride and
her groom,
After bidding their friends and companions adieu
Retired together of course-to theif room.
There her beautiful wreath and gossamer veil
On the top of her bureau she carefully laid,
Then placing her dress, with its long silken trail
O'er the back of the chair 10y the side Of the
bed.
And then, one by one-but can't tell the name
OF the various garments embroidered and white,
Nor the feeling that over the young husband
AS he sat and observed her dsrobe for the
night
But many brilliant illusion, ween,
The possession Of such position dispels,

SO John felt, on seeing those beautiful curls.
Those glorious masses of bright golden hair
And the teeth he admiIed-they were whittier
than pearls
All laid in box that she placed on chair.
Meantime in that box something more caught
his eye.
To show how the artist Dame Nature can
mock
fun and judiciously chosen supply
OF cosmetics al TO-, rouge enamel and chalk
From her checks came her pluml ers, which, lest
she should lose On,
She placed in her toilet box, too, with the rest
Then swiftly detached the full, palpitant bosom
Her lover so fondly, so blindly had pressed.
Then she placed on the chair the huge cushion
When the husband was still more than ever
nonpussed,
To see what he never had witnessed before
A fair woman's hustle abreast Of her bust
Then touching spring that was hidden some
where,
Her lower limbs parted precisely in halves,
She laid on the ALTAR mean on the chair
Her last sacrifice, pair OF fat calves.
Her dissection completed she plunged under
cover
Like IA lath that might into a rivuet drop;
Then tenderly asked of her motionless lover:
"My darling, how long do you intend to sit
up?"

PossEssoRY TITLE TO MINES Our atten-
ton has been called to an important require
ment of the present mining statute of Con
gress, which does not appear to have yet
received the attention on this coast which it
deserves This is the annual expenditure
required in order to hold possessory title to
unpatened claims, and prevent relocation by
other parties The Act is not mandatory as
TO obtaining patents within any specified
time but permits those claimants WHO have
expended noi less til II five hundred dollars
upon their claims to apply for and receive
patents but until Il patent Is obtained clam
ants of lodes located before the 10Th of May,
1872, are required to eXpend thereon not
less than ten dollars annually for every hun
dred feet claimed on the lode, while to hold
a "claim (of fifteen hundred fee). located
after that date necossitates an annual eX-
penditure of rot less than one hundred dol
lars thereon, in labor or Improvements, in
default of which IN any cne year, the claim
will lapse and be open to relocation.
In many of the districts the local regula-
tons provide that upon the expenditures on a
lode aggregating a certain amount, the claim
ant is relieved from further outlay thereon to
maintain his possessory right, and many
valuable claims are so held in good faith by
parties, many of whom are absent from their
claims, and unaware that they are affected
by said statute. Through want Of com
pliance with this provision of the Congress
sional law, it is estimated that hundreds Of
vau Tile claims viii be open to re- ocation by
the 10Th OF May next, and it is understood
that parties are already organizing with the
view of eiiecting these e-locations after that
date, when present rossessory titles shall
have lpsed. A publication of these fac's
may prevent loss to unsuspecting parties,

The Average Piokpocket.

1t is generally presumed by ma
jority of our citizens, that pickpock-
cts possess some indiscribable pecu-
liarity, in their personal appearance,
by which they can readily be distin.
guiehed from honest folks. Many peo-
pie entertain the idea that this Kind
OF thieves must necessarily have a low
forehead, a villainous oountenance,
and wear large cloak to conceaLfalse
hands, and a kit of pickpockets' 10.
struments. This mistaken supposi-
tion accounts, in large measure, for
the ease with which SO many robber-
los are committed. In many cases
the caution of the victims assists the
operation of the thieves While tho
over r-cautious are engaged in casting
suspicious glancos around, with the
intention Of avoiding some ono who
corresponds with their mental picture
OF rascal, somc genteclly appearing
parsonage, whom they do not for q
moment suspect, relieves them of their
valuablcs. The appearance of taste
fully attired lady, with the modest
countenanco and delicately formed
hands, who apologies SO gracefully
for her rudeness and haste in leaving
a car does not suggest the fact that
she has just picked a pocket. The
plain, honest looking old gentleman,
who wears an expression as benignant
as Beeoher's and assists an old lady
across the street with q solcitude that
oxcites admiration, does not conform
with the general impression of English
Bill, tho notorious English pickpocket.
There are some suspicious looking
faces among these people, just as there
are among lawyers, doctors, mer-
chants, or any other class of tho COM
mnnity, but they will compare favor
ably in personal appearance with any
body of honest citizens, phrenologists
to tho contrary notwithstanding.
