CREMATION IN ALAsKA.-A Sitka CORES
pondent of the san Francisco Aka in a
recent letter writes - The Hoona tribe OF
Indians, few weeks ago, sent deputation
of well-armed warriors 10 this place, where
the Sitkas live, 70 treat with them for the
full value of a certain demised squaw Of the
Hoona tribe, whose existence Sitka buck
a few month ago had, BY the accidental dis
charge Of his gun, cut short. The counsel
was held last night on the beach at Indian
Town few yards from our commanding
officer house the lloOnas taking care TO
leave some of their number in the canoes and
ahoat. Evidently the red men are not OF an
oyer-confiding nature.
After much arguing for and against, the
cash value Of the deiunct lady of iloona de
scent was found to be one thousand yards Of
calico, four camphor-wOod boxes, fourteen
muskets, and sixty blankets. Terms cash.
The succeeding night was then devoted to a
universal spree in the Indian town in honor
of their guests. \ few nights after wien
the Hoonas had gone home, Chilcat In
dian, who was on a visit to his Sitka breth-
ren repaid their hospitality by making minee
meat of stalwart Sitka warrior, and then
absconiing. The Indians body two days
after his crossing the Styx. was consigned 10
the funeral pile. as IS the custom OF the
Sitkas
The cremation grounds are within from
fifty to three hundred yards distant from
the commanding othcers residence,9 and
as stood near his house taking items of the
imposing exercises the wind waited delicious
fumes from the burning flesh right over,
into, and all around the house. The cup,
filled with fre-water, freely passed among
the mourners squatted around the blaze,
which at times leaped to height not less
than ten feet, while a stalwart buck
with a pole was working hard all the while
stirring up the fire and turning over the
body.
Bat the mourners finally, one by one,
were overcome by grief and other manifest
causes, and were led away BY commiserating
aceuaintances, while the corpse became re
duced to ashes and charred homes, which
were then collected and gathered TO his
fathers in a sort Of large dog kennel or chik-
en-house on stills, each Of which constitutes
family mausoleum. and is never more than
twenty wards from the family residence /;
while under the ash box burrow dozens OF
of coyote dogs, also belonging to the family,
whose accorded privilege it IL to there make
their homes. -

RIVALRY IN CRAPE.-i learn from news
paper that SO kanses widower was tarred ard
feathered the other day because he didn't wear
deep enough mourning for his departed
spouse" This reminds me of the contest that
has been raging in our village between Brown
and Jones, Both of them lost their wives
on the same day, and alter the funerals
Brown appeared again in public with three
inches of Grape on his high bat, while Jones
had only two. Jones wasso much afraid people
would sthink he didn't mourn for his wife a
deeply as Brown grieved for his that he add
ed four inches of Grape to his hat, where
upon Brown, apprehending that people
would believe that he thought more lightly
of his loss than Jones did of his, put eight
inches of Grape on his hat Then Jones. de-
.ermined not to be outdone as mourner
for the dear departed and put on so much more
Grape that it extended considerably above the
top of his hat crown. Whereupon, Brown
became excited, and. cutting the crown from
an old hat, be dovetailed it on his new
one, and swathed it in Grape to the summit.
Jones was unwilling to display envy, but
the memory of Mrs. Jones was so sacred to
him that he enveloped his hat 10 pasteboard
four feet high, and wrapped it all in the

A Bad Night In Paris.


Correspondence Of the New York World.
One thousand two hundred and sixty peo-
pie fell down in the streets Of Paris, last
night (lst inst.) Six of them were killed.
The other 1,254 were injured more or less
severely, hundreds of them breaking their
arm and legs, cutting their faces or other
wise bruising themselves. Last night was
New Years night-but let not the rash
reader exclaim, 'eh, certainly it is ma
tural. These ,260 people were all drunk. "
Nothing of the kind. All day long it had
been freezing hard, but towards lO O'Clock
there came heavy rain which froze as it
fell, and By | i O'Clock the streets were more
slippery than glass. Now, it happens that
the night of the Jour de IAN il the very
time when Paris is most astir. Every one
goes to dinner or to evening party, or to the
theatre, or at least to the cafe. Thus, at IL
eleven O'Clock when the people began to try
to get home, they found themselves unable
to get there. The streets were full of horses
attached to cabs, carriages and omnibuses
but these were either fallen down or unable
to get up again. or else stood trembling,

blackest Grape he could buy. But Brown
feeling that his love for Mrs. Brown demanded
energetic acting, bought fifteen feet of stove
pipe, and jamming it down over his hat,
bandaged it with 200 yards of Grape, and
once more appeared upon the street. Then
Jones sent to the city and ordered hat
eighty feet high, craped six inches thick.
1t was sent home from the freight office on a
dray, and next morning Brown knocked of,
married the widow Metcalf, and resumed
his business in straw hat. Jones is having
his mourning hat cut up into lengths, and he
hoped. to be able to fill his bets with
them if his side lost in the election.-Mas
