prose paragraphs and SO give it ont for

was worthy the 0ccasinn-s;rOng and
grand, like the march of an army. The
pyocession included all the military COM
panies Of Storey, the Mexican Veterans
.n,. the soldiers of the late war. both the
Blue and the Gray, besides six hundred
school children.

A Skeleton Detective.

A physician, in Boston, having his
office opposite the museum, being an
noyed by some dirty Italian peddlers,
who ran in upon him at all hours, laid
the following plan too keep them away
With human skull fixed on pole,
around which he wrapped an old Office
gown, and animating the whole by the
Office boy, very respectable living
skeleton was produced, which had the
desired effect of Kidding the premises
of the gamins. But another effect was
since produced not entirely anticipated.
The skeleton was set in the closet near
the door for future use. One day re-
Gently the doctor was himself startled
from his front office by a rafting Of
the dry bones, followed by an unearth-
ly YELL as though his ghestship had
''taken on mortality" again; and rush
ing out, the doctor discovered a fellow
standing on the floor nearly scared to
death. He had stolen in and opened
the closet door, when the skeleton had
suddenly confronted him, falling
against the door. The fellow was
probably a sneak thief, and the skele-
ton saved the doctors best coat. And
now the gamins have it that the build
ing is haunted.

Carrie made no reply.
"Don't you love me?' pleaded
Frank, putting his arm about her.
Carrie moved little, but still did
not speak; but he was evidently waiting
for an answer, and at last she said

"Then you'll marry me-"
No-that is-not now"

"You can't; you'll hurt yourself. At
any rate, wait until [ come to help

Carrie did not heed, but went on and

that his fears had been realized. He
fastened to the spot, and found her
sitting very still, apparently studying
the ferns.

An Explosive Mule.
From the Visalia (Cal. Delta,

from the NlSal1a (Cal.) Delta,
AS the shades of evening approached
on the Fourth of July hungry mule
was seen slowly making his way out of
town, toward the green, open fields on
the Augh enbaugh addition, picking up
the stray heritage and waste straw to
quell the pangs of rising hunger. AS
he crossed the McCrory bridge small
boy threw red package, with a lighted
match at one end of it, down before
him. Without looking at the label,
and with thankful looks, the historical
animal Topped over his expansive ears
as token of gratitude, and, depositing
it in his capacious NAV, walked slowly
on. As he reached the far corner Of
the Court House block there began to
be disturbance of that mules inter-
nal improvements, much resembling
that of Chinese New Year at o'clock
in the morning. It took him less than
a second to decide his future course
Two bounces brought him to the pub
lie square, and one leap cleared the
Aughenbaugh addition, including Su-
pervisor Ovens extensive vineyard,
Frank Martins ranch and the colored
schoolhouse beyond. He did not mind
the division fences very closely as he
travelled toward the sands of st. John,
and the livers on the other side mis-
took him for a portion of the Visalia
fireworks or SIN active volcano.

So 1.-the his form, SO light his tread,

Then Fame and Love came hand in hand
Wy this dead warrior to stand.

And wept: 1.-The youth [ loved is dead

To grasp an unsubstantial crown.

ercise of women's rights.

Two BOYS in a London industrial
school lately laid a plot to set fire to the
establishment, steal what money they
could lay their hands on, and run away
by the light of the confagration. One
of the boys carried out his part OF the
plan and set the fire, but the other had
an uneasy conscience. he dreamed
during the night about SIN and Satan
and, ON getting up, the sight Of Testa-
ment given to him, by his father made
him lose heart. He went hack to bed,
the fire was put out, anu he and his
companion were turned over to the
police.

AN English baronet, Sir Simeon Henry
Stuart, wrote letter to his daughter
aud another to Miss Blandford, and by
mistake misdirccted the envelopes.
Consequently the daughter received and
handed to her mother missive con-
tanning such passages as this: "My
own Darling: I was so pleased to see
you last night. How good of you to
come over I do love of having you
here, dearest It seems so nice when I
walk up to be able to say to myself, 4
shall see my darling to-day What
shall do when you are gone, dear? It
is so wearingly then to know that shall
not see you for days; but it will not be
for long, will it? You will come to me
and soon." Sir Simeon, upon discover :
ing this blunder, telegraphed to his
daughter 20 burn the letter, but he was
too late, and it is now being used in
divorce suit.
