Burial of q Chinese Mason.

A singular ceremony took plat x gently at Virginia City, Nev.-the
 of a Chinaman who had been M
 as the order exists in the Celestial
 pire. A very noisy, discordant tni
 brass band led the procession, mat of Mongolians wearing badges and
 insignia of the fraternity, followes a hearse and a large covered wag, which were seated number of femi Chinese musicians. Their instrun consisted of fiddles, drums, guitars, ( bals, gongs, and each made as n racket as possible, without the Teas gard to harmony. The din was nigh deafening, and may have beer tended to prove the actual death of man in the hearse. If he had bee any ordinary trance he would certai have revived in self-defense, as 1t is possi ole to. imagine. that any senti thing could remain unconscious of S an internal clamor. Behind the Chin musicians came van loaded with rc pig and other delicacies, edible and pc ble, to be left at the grave for the ben of the deceased. Strips of paper, pier' in three places with crescent-shaI holes, in rows of five, were strewed thousands along the route-the cust under such ircumstances-and the qu procession attracted great deal of att ton from the curious Nevadans, many whom had never before seen any tn like it. The next time a Chinese Mas is buried, the natives intend either put cotton in their ears or to steal roast pig as some compensation for rIcular suffering. a

Making Amends.


 A dramatist sitting by friend at { theater contrived to extract handker chief from his pocket and transfer it to his own. Presently man behind him tapping hIm on the shoulder, whispered "Beg pardon; here's your purse. Didn't know you belonged to the profession; all right!" at the same time slipping into the mateur's hand the purse he had extracted from hls pocket. The story may pass, i, for, although honor among thieves has no existence, it is probable that regular practitioners act on the principle that dog should not eat dog. That they ever % an inch beyond that we do not be- Iieve, even though we have it on the authority of the Ga,.lois that Charles Dickens once lost his watch at theater in Paris, and found it at his hotel with a note running: "Sir-I hope you will excuse me; but thought l was dealing with Frenchlnan and not country man. Finding out my mistake hasten to repair it by returning herewith the watch I stole from you. beg you to receive the homage of my respect, and 10 believe me, my dear -countryman, your humble and obedient servant.

wnr ,ns Ne.ale lo,n.s to the Norm.

Why the magnetic needle points to the north is thus explained by Prof. c. T. Patterson, of the United States Coast Survey: "The earth is itself magnet, and attracts the needle just as ordinary magnets do, and it IS found to be affected by the action of the sun in manner not yet fully understood. The magnetic poles of the earth are not in line with geographical poles, but make an angle with them of nearly 23 degrees. At the present time the northern magnetic pole is near the arctic circle, on the meridian of Omaha, and, from the na- ture of the case, the pole may better be described as a region rather than fixed point. The needle does not everywhere point to the true astronomical north, but varies with certain limits. At San Francisco it points IT degrees east ot north, and at Calais, Me, as much to the west. At the northern magnetic pole balanced needle points with it's north end downward in plumb line; at | San Francisco 1t dips about 63 degrees, and at the southern magnetic pole the south end points directly down. The action of the earth upon a magnetic needle at it's surface is of about the same force as that of a hard steel magnet forty inches long, strongly magnatized at distance of one foot. It is very probable that study of dynamo-elec tric machines, now so much used il electric illumination, will soon revea
 some far-reaehing truths regarding mag netism in general"

will of man. she had lost the gentle Weakness of her sex. l asked her to be- come my wife; she refused my suit gen. tly but firmly. Maddened by the ex- citement of the moment, l poured out the full tide of long-repressed emotion. told her of our former communion; described the gradual development of her dawning intellect; depicted the slow outgoings of my spirit as it was transfused into hers; prayed her, as l would pray high heaven, to recall some memory of the past. It was all in vain; the past was gone forever. She looked on me as a madman, and shrunk from me in terror. never saw her again.
 After this a stupor fell upon me, which rendered me insensible to out ward impressions. My mind became damp and mildew of long years have gathered; images were reflected there, but they were distinct in the outline only.
