~- Major Ed. Mallet. l.. s. speci,

W- Major Ed. Mallet. U. s. special
agent at Tulalip, with $4,000 IN silver
in charge. and SIX Indians, travelling
from Port Gamble to Tulalip in a canoe,
narrowly escaped perishing in the
storm which prevailed on Puget Sound
last Saturday afternoon. When crossing
Possession Sound, at q point midway
between Skagit Head and Muckilteo,
a storm struck the fraii embarkation
with such violence as to sweep away
one sail and break the spirit of the
other. The Indians at once set up o
bowling noise very much like the old
time Tamanawas death cry. Major
Mallet. who was lying at the bottom of
the canoe, suffering from cramp
rhumatism in the neck, extricated him
self from his bed of blankets and mats,
and by his GOODNESS and example re-
assured the crew. The remaining sail
was righted and in half an hour the
canoe was safely landed at Point
Elliott Later in the afternoon the
same party experienced the effects
of another severe squall at the
mouth of Tulalip Bay, and the canoes
sail WAS lost. All the Indians and
whites on the reservation looked on
with painful anxiety while the party
were maneuveripg the craft through the
floating snags driven into the bay by
the storm.

times his favorite amusement was
to impale mankind on his lance,
with the same indifference with
which a fisherman would spear a
founder. Although better armed
now, his instincts remain the same.
His cookery, however, we hope has
improved from that of his Tartar
ancestors, for they were accustomed
to cook their beefsteaks by putting
them under their saddles. His
amiable rival and enemy, the
Bashi- -Bazouk, is a nondescript.
This band of irregulars seems to
be conglomeration Of the rascal
ity of the Ottoman empire, being
composed of all nationalities under
its sway. Their peculiarities are
somewhat akin to those Of the Cos
sacks. In their moments of relaxa-
ton and enjoyment, they have been
known to sportively hold a baby
aloft, stuck on the point of the
bayonet. Consequently the sooner
they are killed off the better 1T will
be for humanity in general. In fact
if both Cossack and Bashi-Bazouk
were to devour each other like the
famous Kilkenny cats, their loss
would not be felt to any great de-
gree.
1t is the misfortune Of war that
bands of miscreants like these are
let loose upon inoffensive eommu-
mites. We may do the Cossacks
injustice, but they must have
changed greatly for the better, if
we have done SO. As for the Bashi-
Bazouks, they are like Falstaf's f's
famous command, "food for pow
DER" Both Russia and Turkey
will have to enforce strict discipline
among these oifscourings Of ciyili-
zation, if they wish to stand well
in the eyes of the civilized world,
If they merely plunder and do
nothing worse we will rest satisfied.
And we are particularly satisfied
with the distance that interyenes
between these gentry and ourselves.

riage at the head, then a band of

Brown, ! think there is some mis-
take about arrangements. Ny car
riage should not be at the head of
the procession, but Immediately
preceding the hearse." The prince
of undertakers gave him one severe
look, and said firmly: "Parson,
what do you know about way-up
funeral YOU ride head, you're
the principal man in the outfit
except the corpse" The parson
took his hat, and as the sequel
proved, he was the principal man,
for at the first blast from the lead
ing band his team started, and ran
violently, reaching the cemetery a
full half hour in advance of the
procession. Charley met the clergy
man some years after, and in speak
ing of the circumstance, said /:

kept a saloon. lie was a popular
man, and was buried by the fire de-
partment. Several companies were
in advance, with bands of music
and a large concourse of people.
The officiating clergyman was a
comparative stranger, acting for
the time for one Of the resident
clergy. When everything was in
readiness and the services about to
commence, the thoughtful Charles
quietly approached and softly re-
marked "Parson, | reckon you are

Man who Wanted 10 Catch she
Lion.

Quite number Of singular things
have occurred in Bucyrus, Ohio, and
an exchange offers the, following as
one of them: Several years ago
the Fosters of Pittsburgh were
holding theatrical entertainments
there, and during their stay novel
incident occurred. Mr.. Foster was
sitting in the hotel (the Sims House)
Illuminating, in all probability, upon
the full house he was to have that
night, when w. s. entered the
room with a bill for the evening
performance in his hand. "Are You
the manager Of the theater" asked
W. s.. 81 am, SIR" replied
Foster. you are to play Richard
Ill, to-night?" eyes, sir" "Well
| am and always have been fond of
theatricals, but never had an oppor-
tunity of seeing Richard Ill"
Very well, sir, come tonight. I"
Z" Unfortunately, l must go to Co.
lumbus tonight on the Gas train.
Now, how much money would in
duce your company to play Richard
III for me this afternoon?" Foster,
thinking for a moment, replied that
he would do it for twenty-five dol
lars. "And what would YOU charge
extra for the Rough Diamond p
Foster replied ten dollars. To
his surprise W. s. pulled out
his weasel, counted out $35, passed
ut over with the remark that he
wanted the performance to COM
mence at 2 o'clock sharp. Foster
got the company together and re-
lated the circumstance. The idea
Of playing Richard to an audience
of one was excessively ridiculous
and so new in their experience that
they all consented. Two o'clock
came and W. s. was on hand.
Choosing an eligible position and
cooking his feet upon the back of
the seat in front of him he waited
for the performance to begin. The
bell rang, up went the curtain and
the play commenced. Never did the
actors do better. They all exerted
themselves to give their patron an
entertainment fully worth the price
paid for it, and they succeeded. W..
s. applauded vigorously at diff
ierent points, and at times demand
ell repetition. At the close of
the play, Richard III, Mr.. Joseph
T. Fannin came before the curtain
and responded in a neat little
speech. A dance and song fol-
lowed, after which the farce Of the
Rough Diamond was played. W.
s. laughed, roared and applaud
cd, and left in time to take the 6:45
train.
