SENATOR KANE Of the San Francisco
legislature asserted in speech that he
has been offered bride of $1,000 to
support certain corrupt measure. A
committee was appointed to investi-
gate. Kane testified that the man who
tried TO buy him was stout, had dark
moustache. wore gray clothes, and lived
in San Francisco; but he would give no
more definite information. He looked
on an informer as worse than q thief,
he said, and would not on any account
divu]ge the name. The identity of the
lobby man seems to be known, but
Kane's peculiar notion of honor stands
in the way of further proceedings.

BURMAH.
Pecnliarities of the County Ruled by the
Brutal Theebau.

Brutal Theebau.
Burmah, a kingdom Of Hindo. Chinese
peninsula, has, as it now exists, three
well-marked divisions, northern Bur-
lnah, Burmah proper and eastern Sham,
tributary states. The inhabitants
belong to the branch of the
Mongolid@ distinguished by mono
syllable: language; they are short head
ed, broad-skulled, flat-faced, have black
hair and dark brown skin, and resem-
bic the Mongols m ore than the Hindus.
Both sexes wear white linen jacket,
called in:gie; the men wrap around the
lower part of the body the put.so, sew
eral yards long, and the women wear
ing the te-maine scant silk or cotton
garment, to which are added on occa-
sion silks, muslins and gold ornaments.
7The men and women alike smoke
cigars and chew betel nuts to excess.
The former are for the most part, ro-
bust and we'll made, and excel in box
ing, rowing wrestling and other athletic
exercises, and have y, considerable
mechanical skill the houses are frame
work Of bamboo, thatohed with the
water palm, and are built on posts
several feet from the ground. The wo-
men are more Industrious than the
men, buy. sell, weave and attend to
domestic duties. Both sexes are verv
fond Of feasting, sightseeing, theatricals
and buffalo fighting. The natives are
attached to their home, though they
are far from patriotic Without in
= dividual cruelty, they are Indifferent to
the shedding of blood by their rulers,
and while temperate and hardy, are
hostile to discipline and continued
labor of any sort. When in authority,
they are often arrogant, tyrannica( and
corrupt. Besides the genuine Burmahs
variety of races inhabit the kingdom.
The Means, or Telaings, descended
from the ancient Peguans, are largely
ama)gamated with the regular natives,
and the Shams or Tai, the most numer-
Gus, perhaps of the Hindo- Chinese PEG
Piles, are distributed over the peninsula
from Munnipore to Bangkok. Some
of the eastern Shan states are tributary
to Burmah others to Siam, those west
of the Irawaddy being entirely under
Burmah rule. Buddhism, the prevail.
ing religion, has been preserved in
great purity; its shrines, temples and
monuments are numberless, and its
festivals rigidly observed. The govern.
ment is hereditary and despotic, the
sovereign being assisted by a council oil
the nobility, over whose members he
exercises kind of feudal jurisdiction,

How a Married Woman Goes to Sleep.
Pittsburg Leader.


There is an article going the rounds
entitled: GLOW Girls 60 Sleep" The
manner in which they 60 to sleep, &C.
cording to the article, can't hold can
die to the way a married woman goes
to sleep. Instead of thinking what she
should have attended to before going
to bed, she thinks of it afterward.
While she is revolving these matters in
her mind, and while snugly tucked u p
in. bed, the old man is scratching
his legs in front of the fire, and wond-
dering how he win pay his next
months rent. Suddenly she says:
"James, did you lock the door,"
(Which door !" says James.
"The cellar door," says she.
"No," says James.
swell, you better 60 down and lock
it, for heard some person IN the back
yard last night"
Accordingly, James paddles down
stairs and locks the door. About the
time James returns and is going to get
into bed, she remarks:
"Did you shut the stair door
"No," says James.
"Well, if it is not shut, the. cat will
yet up into the bedroom"
"Let her come up then," says James
ill.naturedly.
my good ness, no,"' returns his wife.
s'She'd suck the baby's breath"
Then James paddles down stairs
again, and steps on q tack and closes
the stair door, and curses the cat and re.
turns to the bedroom. Just as he be-
gins to climb into his couch his wife
observes: =
II forgot to bring up some water.
Suppose you bring some up in the big
tin"
And so James with q muttered curse
goes down into the dark kitchen and
falls over a chair, and rasps all the tin
wars off the wall in search of the ''big"
tin, and then jerks the stair door open
and howls.
# "Where the deuce are the matches ?"
She gives him minute directions
where to find the maches, and adds
that she would rather go and get the
water herself than have the. neighbors
raised about it. After which James
finds the matches, procures the water,
comes up stairs and plunges into bed.
Presently his wife says: ,~s..'~"-. a-~
"James, let's have an understanding
about money matters. Now, next
weeksI've got to pay - ~. &
II don't know what you'll have to
pay, and dot CARE" shouts James, a.
he lurches around and Jams his face
against the wall; "all I want is Sleep"
That's all very we'll for you," snaps
I his wife, as she pulls the covers vicious
~; "you never think of the worry. and
trouble I have. And there's Araminta,
who I believe is taking the measles.'
s'Let her take 'em" says James,
Hereupon she begins to cry softly,
but upon the time James is falling into
4 gentle doze she punches him in the
ribs with her elbow and says:
"Didn't you hear that scandal about
I Mrs. Jones'" III. ~. ...z II 4 G.s....
"What Jones ?" says James, sleepily.

Hens From Port Townsend.

PoRT TOWNSEND, March 24th.-Two SOL
diers, one named James T.. Sammons and the
other Frank Rickhoff, left the garrison in a
canoe last night after tattoo, and it is sup
posed that during the squall which blew at
midnight the canoe must have been upset and
the men precipitated into the water. This
morning the body of Sammons was discov-
cred on the beach near the canoe, which had
drifted ashore, and it is thought the man had
held Oh to it after capsizipg until he was
thoroughly exhausted. Rickhoff's body
could not be found, and it is thought it may
have been carried down the Straits. An in
quest was held by Coroner Hoxie to-day on
the body of Sammons, and verdict of acct
dental drowning returned. The cutters
boats are graphing for the other body. Sam
mons was native of Randolph, Kentucky,

mace in constant operation for ten years. AT
least according to most reliable authority,
the deposit promises a larger yield than any
at present known in this country, and the
facility for obtaining it is unequaled.
