The "best society" of San Fran

The "best society" of San Fran
cisco is said to be more amusing than
the same class in any other city. In
proof of this the NeDs Letter says: ga
lady was amazed, on presenting her
card at Taylor Street mansion, to see
the servant inspect her from head to
foot, and then return her card with the
remark: "My mist'ess's orders are very
strict, mum. Sorry can't admit you to-
day, but we don't receive people twice
in the same costoom."

Fanny Fuld was one of the beauties
of Baltimore. She married Eli Elias, a
wealthy young merchant, and the we'd
ding was a great social event in that
city. A few months ago, after six years
of seeming happiness, the wife confessed
to her husband that she was in love
with another man. He said at once that
they must part, and, though she begged
hard to stay with him, promising the
utmost circumspectiOn of conduct, he
insisted upon casting her off. She grew

Almost all the tribes in the United

Almost all the tribes in the United
States believed the thunder to be pro-
duced by the wings of great bird, and
that the lightning was the serpents that
were invariably connected with the
thunder bird Among the ancienttribes
of the Mississippi Valley, the thunder,
therefore, soon became a thunder god,
who could be prOpitiated with sacrifices.
The Illinois Indians offered up a small
dog when n child happened to be sick
upon day when there was much thun-
der, supposing the latter to be a cause
of the malady Many accidents, like
CONGREGATIONS, were attributed to this
angry god, and some tribes did bloody
penances of Precipitation, often burning
to death their own children. Statements
that the Indians adOred the thunder,
however, seem to be erroneous. 1t was
the cause of the thunder that they wor-
SHIPPED, and before which they burned
tobacco and buffalo-meat, or cut off the
joints or their fingers, or threw their
children into the fire when they were
overcome with fear. The Peruvians
had as an ideal stone that had beer
split by the lightning. They offered it
gold and silver. The natives of Hon.
duras burned cotton-seed when it thun-
dered. Other southern tribes made no
sacrifices on the approach of storm,
but abased themselves in the most alb
ject fear. The wild rice being aquatic
and looking like an arrow or spear, it is
also attributed to the thunder-spirit as to
its origin. In Mexico great temples
we're built upon the sacred spots where
lightning had struck. A curious notion
among Peruvians was that the preserved
bodies of twin children who died in in
fancy should be worshiped. supposing
that one of them was the son OF the
thunder, the origin of the idea being
the fact that the thunder-god of that peo-
pie was one of the celestial twins of
Apocatequin and Piquerad. This tradi-
ton was utilized by Pizarro's missiona-
ries to teach the Indians the doctrine of
the Trinity.

"A droll mistake, contemporary
tells us, was made by an imaginative
old dame, who, having permitted tele-
graph pole to be placed on the top of
her house, waited upon the chief of the
telegraphic company concerned to COM
plain that she could get no sleep of
night, being kept awake by the noise
made by the messages passing over her
head. 81 don't think, sir,'' said she,
.you can be aware of all that's said
along them wires. There's deal that
hadn't ought to be. 1 can assure you,
sir, that very much that's said there,
that have to lie and listen to, is such
as no decent woman ought to hear; and
l hope you will put stop to it, The
amused gentleman was hardly able to
meet the accusation with due gravity;
but he did contrive to keep his counte-
nance while he informed the old lady
that the young men who had hitherto
worked the wires were under notice of
dismissal, and that in future only young
women of great responsibility would be
employed, so there would be no danger
of her propriety being shocked again.
