CHINAMEN'S BONES.

The unloading of an oblong pine box,
curiously adorned with Chinese hierogly-
phics, from the Western bound train at the
depot, on Saturday, excited no little Curl
osity, the qualification of which brought
out the fact that the contents were nothing
more nor less than the remains of deceased
Chinamen, promiscuously thrown together
and boxed up for reshipment to the Flow
cry King lom. This lot was from Corinne,
Utah, and consigned to All Ching, Sacra-
mentc. When a sufficient number of these
boxes. well filed, are gathered here to
make respectable invoice, they are for
varied to the proper agent ii San Fran
cisco, and thence to their destination.
1t is said to be the most sacred obligations
of companies who import coolies to return
them, dead or alive, to their native land ;
and it is curious to note with what zeal the
remains are brought out, even in the most
remote localities where they are known to
have died.

THE supply of black walnut lumber is
reported to be greatly diminished. A
Cleveland, Ohio, paper says: kentucky
has quite stock of good walnut, and much
that is very inferior ON account of its gray
color and tough, hard texture. Missouri
also has some of rather an inferior quality
Western Ohio claims good walnut, but that
of Eastern Ohio and West Virginia is poor
in quality. The whole stock of the States is
not equal to a full demand for ten years to
come. Furniture manufacturers do not
use It so lavishly as they did Ave years ago.
Other woods are substituted when possible.

"Ah, if only were as good man
as she is woman!" said loving hus
band to himself, tenderly regarding
his wife through the half open door of
the room where she was sitting with
clasped hands and closed eyes, as if in
holy communion with her maker.
"What a picture for an artist, just as
he looks now-praying, no doubt. >
Then he stole into the apartment, hop

toward him exclaiming: 30, Charley,

Here is what took place in a New
Orleans street-car few days ago: A
foppish young man, plentifully supplied
with brass and money, entered the
Car, the only other occupant being an
exceedingly pretty young lady, an en-
tire stranger to him. Presently a
pale-faced little boy entered with a
basket of flowers for sale. The fop
directed him to pass the basket to the
young lady and permit her to help her
self. She took all the flowers, and the
young man thought he had made an
impression. The young lady waited
till the little boy had got his pay and
departed, when she quietly rose and
threw the flowers in the street. Aston-
ishing how smart these girls are!

SOME OF LINcoLN'S STORIES.

| Mr. Lincoln usually accompanied his
gay little wife to parties, but seldorl
remained where the largest portion oi
the company were, but would slip Of
to some side-room, or perhaps sit upoa

gather about him, begging him for 4

and even to tell me how to spell the
ridiculous names of 'Noah's sons" S"
that think can repeat it just as he
told it; but it needs his particular
voice to give it effect. Here it is:
"There had been great camp meet
ing going OH for nearly a week, in the
beech woods in Ohio, and on the last
day fine speaker preached the closing
sermon. He was large, powerful
man, with a strong voice, and his hear
ers were deeply affected. He was a
very sensible man, and seeing clouds
gathering in the west, he shortened his
sermon. telling the crowd they would
not have much time to collect their
effects and take up their beds and walk
as storm was coming or. In less
time than it takes to tell it, tents were
pulled down, beds, tables, chairs and
children were loaded into wagons, and
all was noise and confusion on the
camp ground In the midst Of all this
hustle, a little weazen-faced man
assembled the log steps of the pulpit,
and, clasping his small hands, and roll
ing his weak eyes Upward, squealed
out Brethren and sistern !" He was
such striking contrast to the last
speaker that some did pause in their
work to look with wonder upon him.
Thus encouraged, the little man began
