WORTHY OF IMITATION. = The SAcRA-
MESTo RECORD UNION, in offering prize for
thebest Christmas story furnished BY a Pacific
coast contributor, has done something worthy
OF imitation at the haads Of other large news
papers While it is an admitted fact that
great many very cls;er people in the different
occupations of life end their way to this sec
ton, it is equally true that, from the active
and absorbing nature OF the pursuits in which
our people are engaged. the tendency is not
favorable to the development CT literary ex-
cellence. The soil needs cultivating, and the
plan adopted by the journal referred to is
commerdable. The story which was consid-
cred 70 have been the best of many which
were furnished is entitled John Sheridan 5
Mistake" and was written by E. w. Hay
den, of Reno, Nevada. 1t is production Of
very considerable merit, and if it be Mr..

THE WALKING MATCH.

The free matinee yesterday was very largely
attended by ladies. The Pavilion was well
filed last night-the best house of the season.
All the women walkers still appear on the
track and all are stiffening up. A careful
observation of three days develops no posi-
tive judgment in the mind, which would be
of value as to the enduring qualities of this
or that person, because Of the stock from
which she sprung.
Tourtilott still leads, but is showing signs
OF much fatigue. Won Berg takes plenty of
rest, and comes from her tent as fresh as at
the start, nearly. Tourtilott's 2G0;h mile
was completed in the 4Sth minute Of her list
hour. Lee, though sore, stiff and suffering,
keeps up good record. Wiley, trifie less
brisk, is still great favorite. Last evening
the City Guard, by Lieutenant T. W.
Stevens, presented her with a very choice
bouquet. In the One-hour race between
Stewart and Carroll last night, from
$50 to 1880 o'clock, Stewart led through
cut, and ran 7 miles and IA laps,
being $50 feet less than S miles. Carroll
broke down on the fftY-seyenth minute,
being unable to run out the hour. He made
I miles and laps. Stewart gained 8 laps
on Carroll in the first 3 miles. Tonight
Blake and Mack, of San Francisco, viii go

Kitty Buckley says she never entered In the
walking match, and that her name was used
without her knowledge NJ. A Taylor has
again taken the track, and at l o'clock this
morning she had made over % miles, The
Donley girls frequently race about the
rack. Pools were sold on the matches
last night. The score-keeping by the numer
ous clerks and callers is tedious task, but
appears to be faithfully attended to. The
referees, Murray and Higgs, are admittedly
good in their positions, and between these and

given and posted in the hall and in different

On regal couch his cares away,
And dreamed not that the King of Kings

And found the place where Jesus lay.

Old Uncle Nose of Galveston was not
noticed near the polls on election day,
consequently 3 colored striker was sent
to hunt him up. He was found sitting
by the fire, grooming dismally, in his

covered with straw, busily rubbing his
eyes with his little fists, and just waking
up from a very sound sleep in which he
had been INDUCING in Fury's apartment.
Fury, seeing that he had lost his ward,
at once liberated Madam Guillot of his
own accord, and pushing his big nose in
amongst us, begar to assist BERTHE to
wake, by vigorously licking his face, till
Helen, snatching him up, rushed with
him into the house.
We, looking into the kennel, saw where
he had made his little nest. It was IN
the corner, completely out of sight, and
sheltered from the wind. He had nest
led into the clean straw with which Fury
is always well suppiid, and then it was
pretty clear that Fury had lain down be-
side him, if not upon him, and had cud-
died him up as warmly as If he had been
in his mothers arms. We understood
now why the dog had refused to 60 out
and search with us, and why he had
barked so little all through the night.
It was not SO easy to understand now
the child had got back and got into the
kennel, without leaving a trace OF a re-
turning footstep. And this mystery
was not cleared up to us till next day.
The explanation, however was simple
enough, and might as well be gwen at
once. A schoolboy had met him, wan
areing away, and knowing him, had lit
ed him up and carried him home, had
been afraid to pass the dog, and SO had
set him down to run in at the open kitch-
en- door. BERTHE instead OF doing so had
turned IN at Fury's door, which happen
ed to be nearest, and had instantly gone
to sleep, while the school boy had post
ed of; toa village some few miles away
1t was in some respects almost as touch.

and what more could I say to tell you
that both JOY and sorrow were keenes,
that can thrill this mortal body. Let
me drop the veil.
Madam Guillot spent tie christina
day with us, and on the following morn

The Navajo Indians.

General Don1phan describes the man
ufacture of fine blankets by the Navajo
women as he saw it during a visit to
their country IN New Mexico. The wool
was all spun with the fingers and without
the aid Of a wheel, the process being very
slow and requiring great skill. The col
ors were all vegetable. AS two women
spun the warp two others stretched the
yarn upon pegs driven into the ground,
each thread being as long as the blanket
was to be. When the warp was made and
arranged, the wool or filling was spun in
the same way, and each thread woven in
by hand and with the greatest care. In
this manner four women would make
four fine blankets in about three months.
The Nayajos have not lost the art of
weaving blankets, saws a recent letter
from Santa Fe. While the men hunt
and herd cattle and sheep, the women
spin and weave blankets for their own
use and for sale. Seine of those which I
have seen here are coarse and can be pur-
chased for from three to six dollars, but
others are SO fine and so tightly woven
that they will hold water like a rubber
poncho, and sell tor from twenty-five to
seventy-fve dollars each.
General Doniphan describes the horse
manship OF the Navajos as really won
derful. An exhibition of it was given ! n
his honor during his visit to the Indian
country. Half a dozen jackrabbits
were ''corraled'' in 3 space of few acres,
and as many Navajos mounted on ponies
and carrying clubs chased them about,
not attempting to kill them but simply
preventing them from escaping. This,
It course, required great skill and activ-
ity both ~ the part Of the ponies and
their riders. Alter this sport had con-
tinued for some time, the Indians killed
the rabbits with their bows aid arrows,
shooting under their horses necks while
in full career.
