serving the Piute chief with the grinning
face laughed audibly and asked him whit
tribe he belonged TO. Nstcbez answered
the question civilly, snd smilingly recipro-
csted with the follow n &: 'sYou savee, Whist
tribe you, capiten 2' The emperor did
not deign TO communicate the de-
sired information, but answered with
chuckle. He asked him bow many
papooses he rad. illustrating his question
with a motherly uDdulating movement OF
his locked arms. Nstchez held up two of
his fingers and with true Indian persis-
tence asked the emperor the same ques-
ton, "Capiten, papoose you how mUchee?"
He was answered only by an imperial
laugh, which evinced a hearty apprecis =
ton OF the humor of the scene. The en-
peror continued his inquiries. most OF
which were aimed at the numbers, co.,
dition and disposition o: the Piute nation,
and added with inquiring. "Nstchez, how
many squaws you got?" The Indian
chief distended his eyes and throwing up
his arms with ringing laugh, remarked
TO the bevy of bystsnders, "Oh, he capt.
ten, he bad man; he talkee squsw; he
hesp bad man." The emperor returned
into the privacy of his car amidst roar
of laughter, above which the melodious

| PLEASANT THING TO KNOW.
Says the London World: "Apropos OF
the danger the public are unconsciously
subject to from the smuggling of explosive
substances daily going on throughout the
country, q culprit sends me an interesting
confession. He says that short time ago,
having occasion TO confer with city firm
on the subject of dynamite, he took with
him parcel of cartridges of that interest
ing compound. On completing his bus
mess and returning westward, ne took bis
parcel OF dynamite in his hand, the car
tridges being made up in small pscksgt S
not unlike rolls OF silver. He placed the
parcel on the seat beside him, and for a
considerable portion of the journey
kept his hand upon it, and other
wise manifested q concern not IN
natural considering his knowledge
charge. But as the bus rolled on he fell
into state of mental abstraction, in IL @
| course of which he must have relinquished
his Jealous hold OF the brown paper parcel.
AT any raie, when he reached his journey Is
end he found thst the parcel was gone.
What became of it is matter that con-
Germs many more people than the original
| holder of the sample. The thief, on OPEN
| ing his treasure, would discover, In place
of few pounds worth CT silver, a number
of rolls of yellowish clsyed substance
What did he do with it? Did he throw it
aside in the open street in disgust, or is it
still lying about his domestic premises till
some one shall throw it at the back OF the
fire? We are not likely to have aly in
| formation volunteered on this suhjecr.
But it is, at least, an Interesting addition
to miscellaneous knowledge to know that
there is knocking about in London an IN
considered trif1e containing within itself
latent force sufficient to tumble down
half London"
