The Russian is gus; hence the sentence:
De s9u$tibuS non est dtSputandana. Some

drives tandem in crowded city is goose
The Persian kas, this is pronounced Kars

grease, which is good for sore threats. It
is improper to say turkey to a goose,
Webster's abridged-uuabridged be-

an aquatic fowl; baby goose is costing;
the plural of goose is geese. Mrs Geese g
husband is gander. the goose religion

Tai,ors use goose to press trousers and

Burning Of Falthless SQuaw.

About three weeks ago an Indian known
as Sam lost his squaw through the blandish-
ments of another named jim. 1t seems that
the tair Mary tell victim to Jim's tender
words, and ut his solicitation left her hus-
bands bed and board and joined the fortunes
of Jim. Sam was not one to quietly submit
to this treatment, particularly as Mary had
taken some of the houshold goods when she
departed. The loss of these added much to
the wrath OF the victimized sam, who raised
such commotion among the Piute braves
about it that they determined to teach the
frail Mary, and by her example the rest of
the female portion of the tribe, lasting les
son. Jim tried to screen her from the gath
ering storm by hiding her; but they soon
found her, and about fifty of the tribe, IN
cluding Jim and several squaws, escorted
her to the hill just back OF Washoe Lake
last Saturday evening, where, safe from Cau-
casian intrusion, they made a huge pile of
sagebrush, and, after laying her firmly in the
middle of it, set it on fire. Then they COM
menced a war dance around the scene of the
cremation, in which all Joined except Jim
Sam being very fierce in his leaps and yells.
The screams of Mary added to the zest Of the
dance. Jim meantime sat quietly by and
seemed an Indifferent spectator to what was
going on. When the body of the unfortunate
Mary was reduced to ashes Sam expressed
himself as satisfied and they dispersed. The
warriors threaten their squaws with simi-
lar fate if they are not little more discreet
in their conduct--Ren0 (Nev.) Journal.

Saved by q Cat.
from the Suffolk (Va.) Herald.l

[From the Suffolk (va.) Herald.]
Some time ago the wife of Mr.. Alfred Da-
Wis (who was drowned with his two sons last
Friday evening in Nansemond River) was
confined to her room with protracted sick
ness, and such was the poverty Of the poor
man that he was unable to procure the nee
essary nourishment for her. Indeed, as Mrs.
Davis related the case, the wants OF the
family must have been of the severest and
most trying nature, the family subsisting for
several weeks on potatoes and salt alone.
During the sad indisposition of Mrs. Davis
and her pressing want for delicate food, q
common house cat went into the field and
caught young hare and brought it to the
house. Mr.. Davis took the hare and made it
into soup for his suffering wife, which caused
a rapid Improvement in her condition. The
day following the same Cat again set out on
its mission of charity, and succeeded in catch
ing partridge, which was likewise brought
to the house and delivered as was the hare
And thus it was, through the instrumentality
of this cat, the life of this unfortunate lady
was saved from absolute starvation. The
facts of the above can be substantiated as
correct, and are given as related by Mr.. Da-
Wis in person.

His Honor, Judge Common, was as much

''Mister Jedge," says Dick, Twill you low

Certainly responded the court, ''let's

''Mister Jedge, clare fore God never

the custom now prevailing among army OIL
GERS of signing their dispatches with their
surname only, their titles being appended.
This has been called by some an attectation.
The fact is that it is done in compliance with
an order from the Adjutant Generals Office
(No. 8s, October a 1s7S designed rsd to o.ef ef-

The way TO put the Dollar Question.

Late Speech of Judge West, of Ohio.]
Suppose the Government arbitrarily fixed
two bushel measures, one at thirty quarts and
the other at thirty-two, a ten ounce and Six
teen ounce pound, leaving both in use at once
called by the same name, what could result
but carnival of litigation and fattening OF
lawyers Laughter. Is the evil any less If
the government makes three kinds Of dollars
and makes creditors take at the will of the
debtor 1t is still worse if nobody. knows
what dollar is to be. The debt fall due. If
their plan is adopted, who can tell whether
he will get hundred cent dollar in gold, q
ninety cent dollar in paper, or q nlnety-two
cent dollar in silver? surely, all honest men
must want all kinds of dollars to be OF the
same value, and that can only be when paper
is INTERCHANGEABLE.

A Mormon Story.

A curious incident came to our notice few
days ago which is worthy of notice. A three;
ply polygamist, living few miles south OF
Salt Lake City, who desired fourth, boldly
declared his intention to young widow re-
siding in Zion and pleaded for her hand-the
heart was not in question-but was fatty re-
fused. As his own pleadings had availed him
nothing, he forthwith dispatched his No. 2 to
do his counting and carry out his design. En-
when at last the young widow asked if she
(No. q did not act against her own will. and
to her own detriment, when the last men,
toned answered: 81 do not wish Mr.
to take any more wives, but I so detest and
hate the very sight of his No. that would
do anything in my power to thwart her hap
piress. Salt Lake Tribune.

from London letter.
I doubt if Solomon ever saw anything so
gorgeous as this collection at Bethnal Green.
Fancy a whole large glass case full OF gold
and silver gems. All ablaze with diamonds! !!
Imagine bedstead whose coverlet, pillows,
and curtains are made of India shawls of the
finest texture ever turned out from the looms
of Cashmere! Conjure up dressing gown
composed uf the plumage off the backs of
millions of gorgeous hued humming birds!
See for yourself a palanquin of tortoise shell,
inlaid with gold, with downy cushions cover
ed with strange stuffs whose woof seems as
if it were diamonds, its web rubies and en-
eralds. One glass case is full of ieweled
swords, all of enormous value and great
beauty. The handsomest came from Delhi,
and with it's jeweled hilt and scabbard and
waist belt is valued at $50, 900.
