GOat-MiIk and SIeeye-MIlk.

In the southern portion of Italy goats
milk is very generally used by the poorer
classes, who cannot afford the milk or
COWS. This kind of milk is frequently
required also by worthy people, rs 1t Is
said to be efficacious in the. cure OF
various diseases. Difficulties, however,
often attend even the procuring OF goats
milk. although the Venders drive the
little animals about from door to door,
and deliver the article done up in It's
original package. A case in point oc-
On ,yTed where a friend of the writer's,
desiring some goats milk for his sick
child. directed that q goat should be
driven up each morning, three flights Of
stairs, and be MIXED at his apartments
door, in order to be safe from fraud. One
morning a member of his family stepped
suddenly into the hall when the process
of goat-milking was going on, and her
eve caught a glimpse Of two streams Of
fluid gently howing-one from the na-
tural source and the other from asyrings
partly hidden up the milkmaid's sleeve
II is hardly necessary TO add that one
stream was milk and the other a tolera-
bly, fair quality of water, both of which
were harmoniously oommingling.-zho

A Primitive Piute Funeral.

An old Piute Indian departed for
the happy hunting ground, by way
of old age and general debility,
from the camp on the hill back of the
city hall last night. 1t is not the cuctom
with the Piutes to bury their dead, and
in this instance they merely carried the
corpse few rods from the camp and de-
posted it on the ground. City Marshal
Brennan, learning this morning that the
corpse was lying on the hillside, COM
manded Capt. Sam to have it properly
buried. Sam is an intelligent native and
made no objections to complying with
the marshal's orders; but five other In
dians standing by, whom he asked to as
sist in the burial, positively refused to
have anything to do with it. Upon this
the officer threatened that unless
they proceeded to bury the dead Indian
forthwith, he would arrest them and
have them fined $4,000,000 each. This
threat had the desired effect on the In
dians, and the funeral commenced. They
wrapped the corpse in robe of rabbit
skins and tied it up with ropes, making
a bundle in the shape of ball. This
they dragged over the bill to an old shaft,
into which they dumped it without cere-
mony. In reply to question as to the
cause of the Indians death, a dusky
maiden who was an interested spectator
at the funeral, replied: "Heap too dam

The Way the United States Troops
Marched Away In New Orleans.

"Carry armsp' commanded the colonel.
They were carried. "OrGer arms!"
"Carry arms!" he repeated, in quick
succession. The orders were executed
with martial precision, and the bayOnets
glittered above the soldiers shoulder
knots. "Right by fours, march" " The
first nete of the MONDAY bells cOmmenc-
ed tolling. Forward, march !" The
drum major lifted his ponderous baton,
the immense red plume in his bearsRin
cap nodding like scarlet poppy on the
summit of mountain. The band struck
upla quick march as they defiled upon st.
Charles street. "Celumn right!" yelled
Colonel Brooke, looking as mad asa March
hare. This was the second time he had
evacuated. The other time was in Arkan-
sas. In this way the column reached st.
Louis street, where the word was
" column left" and 50 they kept on to-
ward the levee. The music by the band
was most appropriate, being nothing
more nor less than a variation of that
ancient military tune known as Love,
farewell, commencing in the song with
the following affecting lines:
" Now. brave boys, we're marching Otto Portugal
and Spain,
Colors flying, drums a-beating; devil back vel
come again.
So, love, fare you well "

There still remains outstanding frac-
tional currency to the amount of $22,-
439, ,375, which, added to the silver in
circulation, gives a grand total of $685.
-77O,642. This would appear to be a
violation of the late act of congress,
which fixes the silver circulation at
56,OOO,OOO. Secretary Sherman, in ex-
planatiOn of his action in exceeding the
limitation, says that at the time of the
passage of the act fixing limit to the
silver coinage there were 81, ,000, 900 then
in the treasury. He claims the right to
issue, and consequently the silver cir
culation, when it is all out, will amount
to $54, 100000. 1t is believed at the
treasury, however, that at least $1O,-
100000 of fractional currency has been
lost or destroyed, and will never be pre-
sented for redemption. There has al
ready been large falling off in monthly
receipts for redemption. In May, 1870,
the first full month of silver disburse-
ments after the passage of the act, there
was redeemed at the treasury So, SOC, ,565
in fractional currency, whilst for the
month of March last the amount re-
deemed was only $993,908 1t is not
probable, therefore, that the silver cir
culation will exceed $44, ,000,00 for a
long time to come, or until it is definitely
known about what amount of fractional
currency has been lost, and congress
takes one action in the premises, as
Secretary Sherman declines to act on the
hypothesis that any part of the circula-
tiOn has been lost or destroyed, and issue

HE HAS COME OVER JORDAN.

Little Rachael and Samuel and John;
shall carry the baby Esther,
For the Lord to look upon"
The father looked at her kindly,
But he shook his head and smiled;
" Now who but doating mother
Would think Of thing so vild2

Or dying of fever, 'twere well;
Or had they the taint of the Ieper,

Perhaps shall leave it there.

Was lifted all earth's cares abOveI

And strength for all duty's trials

A Singular Case.

The following extraordinary story
comes to us from Cambridge, England:
A railway porter, about thirty years of
age, was recently seized with bronchitis.
and was supposed to have expired in the
throes of that dreadful ailment, which
slays every year its thousands of little
children and of aged people, simply be-
cause extreme youth is equally with ex-
treme age too feeble to clear the bronchial
tubes by a vigorous and sustained effort
of coughing. The railway porter sup
posed to have departed this life was duly
laid out and placed i'm a coffin. As his
assumed dissolution had been sudden,
the coroner was consulted on the pro-
priety of holding an inquest. Some un-
certainty in this regard appears 10 have
reigned in the mind of the medical man
who had been callediD, but at any rate, the
railway porter lay in his coffin two days,
at the expiration of which he quietly
got out of it, and, to the inexpressible
amazement and alarm of those present i'm
the chamber Of death, sat himself down
in a chair. 1t is stated that, in order TO
alleviate the severity Of the spasms of
bronchitis, the patients mother had adj
ministered to him a sleeping draught,
which had produced a deep and lengthy
ped short Just on this side Of the grave.
Commenting on this curious case, the
London Telegraph remarks that there
are advantages in keeping corpse above
ground for four or five days, or even for
a whole week, after death. Among all
the Latin races, interment within four
and twenty hours is the invariable and
enforced rule of police; and
had this poor railway porter been
an Italian, or Spaniard,
he would have been duly screwed down
and carried away, insensible, but still
alive, to the cemetery. Into any consid-
GRAFTON of the waking up of the supposed
dead man, the mind, appalled,, shrlnks
from entering. Who that has visited
the Musee Wirth at Brussels has not
turned away shudderiDg from that in
effably ghastly picture of the living hand
and arm, corrugated with the supreme
agony of effort. protruding from the half
raised lid of a coffin too hastily nailed
down? There is no corpse within that
bier, but living creature vainly striving
TO burst his cerements. Cases of prema-
ture interment are, there is every reason
TO believe, lamentably prevalent on the
continent; especially when cholera or
1ther epidemics are raging. The most
serious objection to the English system
les in the fact that it is only the corpses
IF paupers which are conveyed TO NOR
,uaries, and that the supply Of dead
houses, even for paupers, is insufficient.
The remains of the respectable classes
Ire coffined among the living, and are
permitted to remain there for days
ogether, poisoning the atmosphere and
lorrifying the survivors.

Did you have much of a search? Where
did you discover it ?"
"Just where 1 said you lost it. On
the spot where we broke the shaft"
Grandfather examined the package
and found it ali right. Then he hugged
me, and pulled my ear, saying:
Now, you scamp, you can marry Sal
lie Miller. Bring her home here, for she
no doubt requires a good deal of instruc-
tion in housekeeping, and your grand
mother will make her fit to keep your
house from running to waste"
Readers, these things happened many
years ago. All the landmarks about the
farm have long since passed away; but
there is still a large, fat stone by the
roadside, as one rides out from the town
of Randolph, and never gaze upon it
without recollecting how intimately my
destiny and that old rock are connected.

Ring Sickness.

This is not dissimilar from sea sick
ness; it requires long experience in a
ring to overcome the nausea consequent
upon going round and round in one di-
rection. One of the most difficult things
for a circus rider to overcome is this
sickness. Clowns and ringmasteTs suffer
from it greatly, at first, from merell y see
ing the horses go round and round but

master (whose principal business in the
ring is to keep the horses up to certain
gait, and not merely to give cues to the
Clown. if horse balks or gets behind
time. and he is obliged to keep close
upon him, is very likely to suffer from
pronounced fit of sickness at the stomach
after he leaves the ring.-Scfe
