Sid. Macomber said he had everything
in his store "from a jack knife to q pulpit,
and from q cambria needle to a clap O.
thunder" But aver Sid. would have to
acknowledge himself "just out Of the
article" if o needy customer had called
on him to furnish O wife. Here is an
instance where a London merchant out
did the American tradesman, according
to a London journal:
An officer of the army, who was going
out to India to join his regiment, re-
Gently made all his purchases ct q famed
West End establishment, where the boast
is that everything can be had there cheap
and of the best. The customer was such
q large buyer that the proprietor, o Il
trary to the usage, stepped forward to
thank him and to express a hope that the
officer was perfectly satisfied and had
been able to find everything required.
The captain thanked the proprietor and
answered:
"Nearly ALL"
"Not al? 2" was the quick query of
the proprietor "not all? I hoped, sir,
we could find you everything"
Why, it is out Of your line"
"Out of our line? Not at all, sir"
ooh, you are quite sure of that, are
you?"
"Quite certain, sir"
"Well, then," continued the captain,
laughingly, ct want a wife"
"Step this way, sir" and the aston
ished military man followed. He went
through strange labyrinths, and up and
down stairs innumerable. En- route the
proprietor communicated these facts:
About three or four months prior a
beautiful, highly educated girl, OF good
family, who had lost her parents, and
with them all resources, applied to him
for employment. He had, after listening
to her story, though she was a novice to
business, been touched by her friendless
situation, gave her employment, and he
had found her o worthy and exemplary
girl. The captain saw and admired. he
bought of her and introduced himself.
He came often, bought more, and upon
inquiry found all particulars to have
been truthfully stated. His manners
and appearance pleased the girl, and
when he told her the story of how his
last want had been mentioned to the pro-
prietor of the establishment it ended in
a hearty laugh,.on both sides ; but after
the laugh they were married within three
days, and they are now on their way to
India.

Turkish Pleasanfry,

The other day Pop Milo, q relative OF
Prince Nikita, felt irresistibly impelled
to 60 down and objurgate the Turks in
Niksich. He rode down from the heights
of Trebesch, armed only with his sword;
and, after indulging in a food of impu-
tations touching the character of the
Turks, invited the Niksich people to
send forth their most valiant champion
to single combat with him, at the same
time exposing his breast to show that he
wore no surreptitious armor.
But the Niksich men did not feel in
clined to come forth, and Pop Milo fell
a victim to Moslem barbarism by a bull
let through his heart. He was fifty
years of age and considered the hand
soonest man in Montenegro. When he
fell, the Niksichers sprang forth, cut his
head off, carefully washed his face,
combed his hair, and sent the trophy
back into the Montenegrin camp.-Lon-

A Black Hills Episode.

Five strangers, mounted on thorough
bred-looking horses, made their entracce
into this city yesterday afternoon, writes
a correspondent from Deadwood, in the
Black Hills. They were all large and
tough-looking citizens, each supplied
with a new light-colored sombrero and
otherwise disguised with new clothing
throughout. They staggered about the
streets some time-a little too long for
their own good. About four o'clock o
young man by the name of May spotted
them as road agents-he having been
robbed by them about four months ago.
Upon making his discovery known to the
sheriff, that officera and his deputies went
in pursuit. Between six and seven
o'clock three of the number visited the
post-ofice with the officers close on their
heels. Young May was itching to turn
loose on them with his little gun, and as
one was crossing the street he recognized
him, when the fellow yanked his
revolver and opened fire. The first bull
let struck May in the left arm, an inch
or two below the elbow. The wounded
man was equal to the desperate emery
ency, and instantly pulled his shooter
and began to emptyit into the desperate.
They each exchanged four shots, when
the robber ran back to the post-ofice
and took possession of a saddle horse
standing there and struck out for tall
timber. Hereupon the cry of "stage-
robber" was raised and a general fusl-
lade was opened on the fleeing wretc |.
He attempted to bull-doze the crowd by
firing upon them, but the citizens of
Deadwood are not made of that kind of
stuff, and they sent at least fifty bullets
after him with good effect. One ball
entered his back, penetrating his right
lung and lodging under his breast bone;
another struck the horse in the stifle and
came out of his breast, going lengthwise
through him. The wounded animal
carried his wounded rider to within a
few feet of the top Of the hill, near town.
when he fell and rolled to the bottom.
The robber jumped off aud continued
his course, but was gobbled by the
sheriff and lodged in Jail. The other
two agents suffered arrest without re-
sistence.
During the shooting, the street was
alive with people, and the affair created
indescribable confusion among the pill
grim portion. They took refuge behind
the first thing they could reach. Some
threw themselves into a sluce ditch at
the side of the street, containing six inches
of water. Many of the windows in the
vicinity of the ARRAY are penetrated by
the flying missiles. The strangest fea-
ture II the whole thing is that not more
men were injured. With the exception
of those mentioned, one other man re-
ceived a slight flesh wound in the face.
The wounded ina will probably re-
cover. The three captured are young
rangers from Texas. They refuse to
talk with any one, but put in their time
by cursing everything and everybody in
this country. They are q hard crowd.
Two of the original number are still at
large.

brigham Y0ung'S Burial.

Until nearly noon a living stream
poured through the tabernacle, when
the doors were closed. The total num-
Der reached nearly 18, 1000 persons, who
had taken a last glance. The most af-
fecting scene witnessed was that, of an
Indian chief, who, arrayed in a. gorgeous
blanket and feathers, burst into q vio-
lent fit of grief as he looked upon the
body. A large number of Indians and
Chinese passed through the building.
After the entry of the crowd had been
cut off, the great family of Brigham
Young, including nearly all his wives
and children, filed around the coffin.
His three venerable brothers wept as
they viewed the familiar features, and
the wives appeared Frustrated with
grief. Then the coffin was taken from
the metallic case, and tie features fully
exposed, when John NJ. Young, Brigham
Young, jr., Daniel H.. Wells, the apos-
ties, and general church authorities
viewed the body. The coffin was then
fastened up, and placed upon a cata-
falque raised above the heads of the
audience. The coffin was of plain rose
wood, with silver handles, without in
scription. George W. Cannon read a
paper prepared by Brigham four years
ago, containing his wishes in reference
to the burial of his body, requesting
that it be placed in Il coffin of good red
wood boards from two to three inches
larger around than necessary; that his
body be laid OH a cotton bed with his
head on a pillow, dressed in the usual
temple robes; the coffin to have the ap-
pearnuce that if he wanted to turn q
little to the right or left he could do so ;
the male members of the family not to
wear Grape or black mourning; the
females not to purchase mourning bon
nets or dresses for the occasion, but
they might wear them if they had them.
If any of his friends desired to say o few
words at the funeral ceremonies they
might do 50, but he desired no crying or
mourning.
After singing an original hymn by G.
". Penrose and the performance of the
"Dead March in SAUL" the congrega-
ton was dismissed by Apostle Orson
Hyde, and the procession. moved east
eight abreast on the sidewalk, protected
from thu crowd by ropes for the entire
distance. At Eagle gate, adjoining the
Prophets residence, the cortege turned
northwest through his grounds to the
cemetery on the hill overlooking the
valley.

Paving for His Charity.

The Dramatic Nevs tells this anus
ing story concerning Leonard Grover,
the playwright: He and Ned Holmes,
the "old man." both after partaking OF
e generous supper one evening, passed
through Union Square, New York,
where he noticed every inch of bench
tenanted by Some poor fellow without a
better place to Aep. Grover went
about carefully inserting a silver dime
in the vest pocket of each OF them. H
counted ninety, and one was lett. He
determined to put a dollar in his pocket
so as to make it a square ten. While
engaged in the operation, which wa
rather difficult as the man was turned in
an impossible condition, the object Of
charity woke up and shouted "Thieves J
at the top Of his lungs. Grover had tc
give him o five dollar bill to keep quiet.
He swears that this is the end of his
charity.

Probably the most astonishing feature
about the progress the State has made
during the past few years has been in
the honey interest. Originally there
were no bees here, and when. less than
a quarter Of century ago, few colo
MES were transported 10 this coast. the
result was almost magical To-day the
mountains are full Of wild bees. de-

Lower California profitable business il

ming the wild honey There i no such
thing a having to kill the bees when the
honey i taken from them, as in the
colder climates, for there il scarcely a
month in the year when they can not
find food for sweets. The greatest pro-
gress in this industry that was probably
ever recorded in the world has attended
the efforts Of several bee-keepers IN the
lower counties Of the State. The ship
ment from one county last year aggre-
gated over 100 tons Of pure honey.
Think Of IL, reckoning honey by the
lOV tons. One apiarist alone in san
Diego County has upward Of 1900 hives
Of bees, and these live and produce an
enormous crop Of honey, besides doub-
ling their number every year, with no
other pasture than the wild SAGE that
carpets the hills and mountains. These
pastures are next 10 inaccessible. and.
except for the purpose TO which they
have been put, are Of no earthly use.
These bee pastures embrace very
large area Of country, extending from
Santa Barbara in q narrow belt 10 Low
err California. This land il gerv prccip-
ltous, and the bee-keepcrs are in no dan
