The San Francisco newspapers tell OF
Q cruel joke that was played on MI.
Noon. He was an old widower, and his
tendency to love-making greatly annoy
ed the young women who boarded in
the house. They dressed handsome
boy in girls clothes, and introduced
him to Mr.. Noon as visitor from Viz
ginia City. The boy was complaisant,
and the widower became Immediately
attentive, taking him out riding and to
the theaters. A favorite evening amuse'
ment in the boarding house was to leave
Mr.. Noon and the bogus girl alone IN
the parlor, and watch them through the
glass doors. But there was q climax in
the discovery by Mr.. Noon of the cheat,
and he gave publicity to the affair by
threatening alawsuit.
THERE died . few days ago in Paris a
lady, whose decease was duly and le-
galiy attested. The funeral was fixed
for Sunday afternoon, and when the
hour arrived the undertaken made his
appearance, and was placing the corpse
in the coffin, when suddenly one Of his
assistants exclaimed that the body was
warm. At the same moment the lady
moved; her eyes opened slowly and re-
garded with stupe6ed expression those
who were standing around. The police
were Immediately apprised of the
strange occurrence, and several doctors
hurried in, hastily summoned. The lady
was really alive, and actually expired al
the end of few hours. Perhaps the
shock on discovering her awful situa-
ton had proved too much for her en-
feebled constitution. The funeral, af-
ter all, was only postponed for day.
If Arctic explorers have not discov-
cred . practical northwest passage
whales have, as is shown by the fact
that whales have been captured in the
North Pacific having harpoons that
were thrown into them on the other
side of the continent. Capt. Bauldry
of the Helen Mars of San Francisco has
taken q whale having in it large flint
harpoon, supposed to have been put in
by natives of Cape Bathurst, or the re.
gions beyond the mouth of the Macken'
zie River, because the natives living to
the westward of that river never use
such weapons but always bone or iron
A more positive evidence is found in the
fact that the Captain of the Adeline
Gibbs took q whale in the Arctic witt
an iron in it which had been thrown the
same season in Hudson Bay. This II
