Pleasant Renaissance of Senator
Morton.

One of the pleasantest occasions of
that visit to California, when your cor
respondent had the honor of accompa-
nying Senator Morton and his family.
was trip to Virginia City. Among
other places of interest we visited was
the Consolidated Virginia mine. Very
agreeable arrangements were made to
convey the Senator down the shaft into
the mine. The platform was covered
with canvas, and seats were provided
for the party. At the last he declined
going on account of his wife not being
quite strong enough, but he came and
seated himself by the side of the shaft
to witness the descent of other mem
bers of the party. When I add that the
Ladies were obliged to don complete
suit OF male attire, some idea will be
formed OF the undertaking. The ladies
were three In number-two lovely young
girls, the daughter and niece of Senator
Cooper, and an elderly lady-Mr. Mackey
and another gentleman comprised the
party. The costume of the ladies was
dreadnaught oyercoat, worn over blue
flannel shirt and cloth pantaloons.
Heavy shoes and SLOUGH felt hat on the
head completed the outfit. On account
OF the intense heat of the mine the over
coat was only used in descending and
ascending the shaft, and, in the absence
of suspenders, the pantaloons were tied
with a tow string tightly around the
waist. The costume of the gentlemen
was not less striking, and no one enjoyed
it's ludicrous aspect like Senator Morton.
He laughed immoderately, and had the
patience to remain seated until we re-
turned, flushed with heat and dripping
with perspiration. There was not the
suspicion of curl left in the locks of
the young ladies, and they looked as
fresh and pretty as child just out of
the bath. Senator Morton, who relished
the exit even more than the departure,
said they reminded him of the old song
Of the rose just washed by the rain. =

TeIegraphy in Europe.

Last year there was expended for tele-
grams In the countries Of Europe $15,-
100000, at an average of 80 cents per
message. In this expenditure Great
Britain led the list with nearly 43 per cent.
OF the whole; France came next with
about % percent. Germany, IA percent.
no other country exceeded per cent.
The length of wires in Great Britain
very slightly exceeds that of Germany,
and is nearly fourth more than France;
in this particular, Switzerland takes the
lead OF the smaller European states.

In March last, while the ill-fated
United States steamer Huron was living
in the harbor of Port Royal, S. c.,
Lieut.. Arthur H. Fletcher, her execu-
tive officer, left the vessel on twenty
four hours leave of absence, and, fail
ing to return at the expiration of that
time, the ship sailed to another port
without him. A few days previous Mr..
Fletcher had reported to Commodore J.
H. B. Clitz, "senior naval officer
present." and stated to him that for
some time past he had a presentiment
that if he went to sea in the Huron for
the purpose Of finishing the cruise 1.-TWO
years. he would be wrecked. This feel
ing took complete possession of his
mind, and he used every means to get
detached; but the Navy Department re-
fused to order it without a better reason.
When he found that all his efforts had
failed, he left the Huron in the manner
stated, with the intention not to return.
For this he was placed under arrest, and
tried by court-martial at Washington
Navy Yard, in August last. In defense
he made a statement in substance as
above, and called Commodore Clitz,
Commander George P. Ryan, OF the
Huron, and other officers, to prove that
before leaving the ship he had told them
of the dread-in fact, horror-he had of
finishing the cruise in the vessel. This
is matter OF record on file in the Navy
Department., and, though such a line of
defense was laughed at when made, the
fate of the Huron will cause many super
stitious people to think that Mr.. Fletch-
er's premonition was fully proven to be a
true one by the wreck off Kitty Hawk,

The Cost of Dying.

The population of the world at the
close OF the year 1876 is estimated at
l, 423, 917,0 Admitting that the av-
erage duration of life is thirty-three
years, the deaths will be 43.455. ESQ a
year. According to the most reliable
data, 1t costs about an average of 800
to detray the expenses of Christian
funeral. If, therefore, all the nations of
the earth were Christians the funeral
bills would amount to S., 345, sos. 900 an
nually.. The question that will at an
early day confront economists will be.
Cannot some way be devised to die
cheaper?" Evidently it costs too much
to get decently under the sod-too much

fasnlon IS too supreme at funerals. The
nckle goddess is too potential in dictat-
lag the fit and fabric of shroud and
winding sheet and the style of silver
plates and nails. Mourning goods are
manufactured to order and graded first,
second, and third; every sigh has it's pc
culiar tint until at last the world OBJ
serves that the days of sadness are past
and the "dear departed" are forgotten.
The poor can hardly afford to die, a rude
country coffin no longer answers the
purpose. The style of burial case is a
matter of deep concern, and in many
cases the living are robbed of the abso-
lutte necessaries of life that the dead may
have a fashionable funeral. Specula-
ton in cemetery lots is now feature in
real estate transactions, and there are
aristocratic avenues in the cities of the
dead as well as in the cities of the liv-
ing. Pride erects it's monuments on the
grand thoroughfares, and the gaping
multitude discuss the former opulence
OF those who lie under sculptured
marble. The population of the United
States is estimated at 10000, 900, which
will give, according to accepted death
rates, about 100000 deaths annually.
Estimating the average cost of funeral
at 500 we have death tax of about
$l25, 600, 900 annually, or something
over So per capita for every man, woman
