Chetopa, a noted chief of the Osages,
is very low with consumption, and is
not expected to live. He is one of the
most intelligent and probably the best
Indian of the Usage tribe. The men,
bers of his band are daily mourning for
him, and paint their faces. If he dies,
there will probably be the largest
mourning party organized that has ever
left the Agency. The Agent has been
assured by leading men of the tribe that
they will not commit any depreciation
when the mourning party goes out, bu.
that they will merely go through the
form of sending an enemy's scalp with
him to the happy hunting grounds. On
such an occasion, it can hardly be ex.
pected that they will lay aside all relig.
ious rites and the established customs Of
their forefathers, and we would not like
to be caught in the Territory alone
while the party is out. "Che-to- pa
means four lodges, and the name is de
rived from the old chief attacking anc
capturing four lodges of his enemie
many years ago. He will be remember

had considerable esteem for him. Ar

A California Wild Goose Story.

The large focks of geese that are con-
stantly passing over the town are fre-
quently shot at, but they generally fly
at too high an altitude to be reached by
the ieaden missiles. Sometimes, how
ever, the shots take effect. The other
day we were watching flock flying
southwark, when the report of gun
was heard, and we saw one of the geese
begin to fall slowly. The others, per-
ceiving that their comrade was wound
ed, uttered shrill cries of distress, and
about dozen of them flew under tn
wounded bird, huddling together SO that
their backs formed a sort of bed, on
which the wounded one rested. They
buoyed it up for some time, the Others
looking on and manifesting their con
cern by uttering loud, discordant shrieks
Finding that their companion was una
fble longer to accompany them in thei
flight, they abandoned him to his fate
and he fell into the arms of an expectan

Miss Linney of Sacramento was in
clined to marry Mr.. Roberts, but she
said that she could not become the wife
of poor man. She would wait reas-
enable time for him to make fortune,
and whenever he was in a condition to
support her in elegance he might claim
her. He went to San Francisco, en-
barked in mining speculations, and made
money rapidly. A few months ago he
told her that she possessed q hundred
thousand dollars. She said that the sum
was satisfactory, and mentioned a date
that would suit her for the wedding.
Then he coolly told her that he had
changed his mind, and had no idea of
marrying her. She has sued him for
breach Of promise.

ing house that had been doing the pla-
cards, posters, show bills, &C., for the
travelling exhibition, sent after it to
the South, and levied on it in Richmond
county, Ga, for an account of $32, 900,
which is bigger printers bill than is
ever heard of in these parts, except
against the State of South Carolina. A
claim of $4,000 was also put in by an at
torney for the United States Rolling
Stock Company, corporation which
had furnished the two trains of forty
two cars on which the concern is trans
ported over the country. The debt to
the employees, at the time of the seizure
was 5000, and with other outstanding
claims made the whole amount of indebt

140 horses and ponies, five elephants
and tigers, lions, hyenas, sacred cows
