INDIAN FUNERAL.-Last week, Ran
cheria jim, big chief among the Digger
Indians Of these parts, who has lived at
Rancheria, took sick in Sutter Cheek and
died. The subjects Of the deceased war
rior determined to bury their chieitsin in
civilized fashion with becoming dignity.
They had $50 coffin made, in which
they placed all that was left of Jim. The
mourners gathered from all points to take
part in one Of the most picturesque fu-
nerals ever witnessed in the county. A
hearss and carriage we're hired, the latter
being occupied by the chief mourners,
without boots on their feet or hats on
their heads, their ragged garments fut-
tering in tue breeze. Some threescore
Indians on foot we're drawn up behind,
end in this order the procession moved
out Of Sutter Creek TO Rancheria, tho
place Of interment. The costly casket
and trappings Of the hearse and carriage
were in strange contrast with tie ragged
appearance Of the bronze faced mourners
and the whole affair presented as comcal
blending Of the solemn and laughable
as can well be imagined.

FAIR ExCHANGE.-Oneo OF the fem ale
passengers by the train from the East
yesterday morning had her attention at
trscted by some fashy pictorial papers
which one Of the newsboys was vending
at the depot, and inquired the price.
"Ten cents apiece" - would like to
have one, only haven't any change
with me-" "Then you don't gets 'em,'
classically remarked the dealer in liters-
ture. The woman besitsted a moment
and then intimated that she would kiss
the aewsboy if he would give her the ps-
per. Kissing was goodies that he had
never hoped for under such cir0ums stsnces
and he intimated his Willingness to ec-
cept the proposal, scarcely thinking she
was in earnest but kiss him she did,
right on the depot platform, and then
possessing herself Of the paper, she en-
tered car, leaving the newsboy blush
ing, grinning, and yet looking worried,
as if he felt streak of electricity run
ming up and down his back. Record

In A HURRY.-Upon the arrival Of the
overland train this morning bare headed
man rushed frantically across Front street
to neighboring clothing store and cried:
"Give me hat give me a hat quick"
The accommodating clerk snstched one
of last years straw hats that happened
to be lying around loose, placed 1t upon
the head Of the hasty customer, and de-
maEded "a for the article, which the lat
ter paid without word and went on his
way rejoicing. 1t seems that he had lost
hat up the road some place and was
afraid of missing the train if he spent
too much time in making his purchase,
when he really had twenty minutes in
which TO perform the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

SILENT MEN. - Washington never
made n speech. In the zenith OF his fame
he once attempted it and failed, and gave
it up confused and abashed In framing
the Constitution of the United States, the
labor was almost wholly performed in
Committee of the Whole, of which Geo
Washington was the chairman but he
made two speeches during the convention,
which were OF very few words each. The
convention, however, acknowledged him
the master spirit, and historians affirm
that had it not been for his personal pop
ularity, and the thirty words of his first
speech, prGnouncing it the best that could
be united upon, the Constitution would
have been rejected by the people. Thomas
Jefferson never made speech. He could
not do it. Napoleon, whose executive
ability is almost without a parallel, said
that his greatest trouble was in finding
men of deeds rather than words. When
asked how he maintained his influence
over his superiors in age and experience,
when Commander-in Chief of an army
in Italy, he said: "By reserve" The
greatness of man is not measured by
the length of his speeches, and their
number.

AsIATIC JoURNALIsM.-Seventy years
ago in India, (and the habitin some parts
Of that country is yet extant), the luxur-
ious Asiatic, instead of having the news
paper at his breakfast table like the lux
iurious American Of to-day, was saved the
fatigue Of reading, by II set Of men whose
regular profession it was to go round and
report the news Of every sort that may
have happened. "And to this" says a
writer and traveler OF that date, they
constantly add the knowledge of vari-
ETY. of stories, tales and Apologies, which
at the desire of their employer they recite
with great animation, humor and action,
as long rs he wishes to be amused. And
while this is going on, he attends to the
reciter or not, while he enjoys his hooka,
takes his coffee, or reclines at ease on his
sofa. OF course the thing is impractical
bic here, but it is Il question whether this
ancient Asatic system Of journalism does
not possess advantages over ours Of to-
day. 1t is certainly much peasanter to
hear news than to read it, and when the
reciter combines the advantages of the
weekly story paper and the magazine in
his repertoire, and adds histronic skill,
putting life and action into the characters,
what is lacking? Edtotials, perhaps,
but how easy to dispense with these
After all, for genuine, lazy, unalloyed

LOVE MAKING AMONG CONVERTS

A band of fifteen couples was recently
married from the orphanage of Ben Ak
noun. The fathers informed the arch
bishop that they had fifteen excellent
boys, who were about to leave, and whom
they were desirous of finding wives for
and settle in the nearest Christian viii
lage. The archbishop asked the Super
ior OF the girls school if she could supply
fifteen maidens who would go and share
the humble homes of their brother or
phans.
The Superior replied that she had pre-
cisely the number required, girls who
must leave the shelter of the convent in q
few months, and whom she was most
anxious to see provided for. The grapes
were ripe, and the vintage, which was
close at hand, would furnish an opportu-
nifty for meeting between the parties.-
So, one morning, in the cool, sweet dawn,
they set out for the vineyard, the maid
ems conducted by sister, the youths by
one of the priests. The latter took ono
side and culed the grapes, while at the
other side the madens gathered up the
branches and tied them in bundles. As
they went they sang hymns and canticles
to tighten their labor, and when the days
task was done they left the vineyard in
two distinct bands ms they come, and re-
turned to their separate converts,
WELL" said Mgr. de la Vigerie to the
presiding father next day, "have the
young men chosen each his maiden, and
is the choice approved ?"
Alas, Monseigneur, they did not even
| look at each other, cried the disconsolato
matchmaker. "They never raised their
eyes from their work Sister c. and |
watched them like lynxes."
You have brought up the children
too WE'LL" cried the archbishop, in des-
pair, " What is TO be done with them
now ?"
" Have little patience, my lord, and
it will come in good time" replied the
father encouragingIy.
Next day the two bands of maiden.
and youths sailed forth again to the vine
yard, and so every day for week.
Then the father came in triumph to
the archbishop to announce the success
ful issue Of the scheme. One by ono the
youths had plucked up courage and peep
ed through the tendrils of the vine, and
thanks to somo magnetic sympathy, tive
dark eyes had been raised to meet their
and they smiled ut each other. A It'll,
further on the green leaves were ilutteroC
by whisper asking the fair ones name
She told it and another whisper told hcl
his. So the flower blossomed in thirty
young hearts, and the priest and the SIS
ter who watched the gentle growth look
ed on with delight - CuthOiic UOIId.

AN INCIDENT.-Not many years since
certain miners working far underground,
came upon the body Of poor fellow who
had perished in the sutfocating pit forty
years before. Some chemical agent to
which the body had been subjected
agent prepared in the laboratory of ma
ture--had effectually arrested the prog
ress of decay. They brought it up to
the surface, and for a while, till thoroughly
exposed to the atmosphere, it lay the i'm
age of fine sturdy young man. No
convulsions had passed over the face in
death-the features were tranquil the
hair was as black as jet. No one recog
nized the face-a generation had grown
since the miner went down into the shaft
for the last time. But tottering old
woman who had hurried from her cottage
at hearing the news, came up and she
knew again the face which through these
long years she had not forgotten. The
miner was to have been her husband on
the day after that on which he died.
There were no dry eyes when the gray
headed old pilgrim cast herself upon the
youthful corpse and poured into its deaf
ear many words of endearment unused
for forty years. 1t was touching con-
trast the one so old, the other so young
They had both been young those long
years ago, bnt time had gone on with the
