Alaska Burial Ouatoms.

The dead body is laid on logs or sticks
of timber raised a couple OF feet from
the ground, and then covered in with
other timber and stones, giving the
whole structure somewhat the appear

right posts or sticks at the angles. On
these funeral piles are placed one or
more mementos Of the departed. gener-

Chinese in Denver Sunday Schools,

The Chinese in Denver are inclined
to christianity. Nearly all of them who
join churches are taken in by the Pres
byterians. 1t is in the Sunday-school
that Johns beamin5 face is oftenest

inseparable to John Chinaman, COM
pletely wins the hearts Of the sympa-

think Cinnamon are '.just too sweet for

dissatisfaction among the young men
who attend q certain Presbyterian Sum-
day-school, whose only misfortune is
that they were not born in China, at
the way the Mongolians have taken
their places. The Chinaman gets the

WOMEN.S TEARS.

He must be a brute indeed who
can bring tears to q woman's eyes.
His heart must be of stone to enjoy
the spectacle ola woman bathed IN
food of wild emotion, with the con-
vuisive sobs shaking her little form,
while grief, like a tornado, losses hel
about like a paper collar box on the
bosom of the boiling torrent.
Few men have the hardihood to
look grief-stricken woman in the
face while her nose swells up, angry
and irritated. in the distance. Few
men are so lost to all the better feel
ing of our nature as to do an act
which will thaw out the frizzes and
food the features of the woman he
loves.
This is one reason why many men
are kind to their wives, who would
otherwise be cruel and heartless.
They do not like to see the wife OF
their bosom looking as though she
had erysipelas in her nose.
1t isn't the grief of wives that is
killing off our husbands. 1t is the
terrible shock to their aesthetic taste.
No husband can bear to view the
bowling waste after the washout has
subsidized and the bridge is repaired,
Then, fellow men, on our journey
to the tomb, let us resolve that we
will not do or say anything that will
bring the hectic flush to the nose of
her to whom we have vowed life
long fidelity. Let us, as far as pos
sible. stave off the storm, and if tears
must be shed let us shed them our
selves. Most of us are so ding bust
ed homely that it don't make any
difference whether we color our nose
cherry red or sage green.
Then again if we weep pretty pro-
miseuously and keep our nose mid
ding red, perhaps we can fool the
temperance people and thus regain
some of the respect that we have
lost.-Laramie Boomerang.

A SWEET MINISTERS.

F
To those who, since his election to
the Presidency, have been telling the
people that Mr.. Garfield is not as bad
a man as the Democrats made him
out to be during the campaign, we
offer the appointment Of Major Gen
eral ex-Congressman Stephen A.
Hurlbut, as Minister to Peru, as an
example of the new Presidents civil
service reform policy.
From an article in the n. o. States,
which we have not the space to re-
produce ia this issue, we gather the
facts, substantially, that Stephen A.
Hurlbut, the man whom Mr.. Garfield
has selected to represent the United
States at the Capital of Peru, stands
branded as q bride taker and felon.
by Chief Justice Waite, of the ST.
preme Court. who, after summarizing
the evidence adduced in the case of
the cotton transaction aboard the
steamer "Sciota,' says:
CLEARLY this was bribery, of which
the claimants, as much as the man,
whom they corrupted are guilty in
pa,i delete, and therefore they can
not recover.
"Beyond all doubt the judgment of
the court below is right, and it is
therefore affirmed"
The States, very properly proceeds
in the following terms to comment
upon the action of the President,
which the Senate has so wrongfully
sustained:
"Thus, bride taking being made a
felony by the law ofthe United States
Stephen A. Hurlbnt, the newly APP
pointed Minister to Peru, is q felon
by the Judgment of the highest tri-
bunal in the land.
W. w. Belknap, Grants Secretary
of War, was accused of bribe- taking
in the matter of a post-sutlership.
Belknap's case offered many extern
uating features. Besides. no .jndg-
ment of n court stared him III the
face. Yet so strong was the power
of public opinion, so great the in
fuence of the press, that Belknap
had to resign his honorable position,
and to-day he wanders upon the face
of the earth, a tainted, a condemned
man, the brand of infamy upon his
brow.
Hurlbut's case is infinitely worse.
The evidence against him has been
carefully sifted and accepted by the
highest judicial authority. Nopossible
apology can be made for Hurlbut's
rascality, and instead Of being sent to
represent this Government at Peru he
ought to be in felOn's cell.
It is not our province, in this arti-
Gle, to dilate upon the short comings
of President of the United States,
who sends convicted felons to repre-
sen the country abroad, nor upon the
imprOvidence Of Senators who con-
firm such ornaments to the civil SER
vice; but we must say that the ap
pointment of this man to this
mission, with this decision of the Su
preme Court on record, is a disgrace
to this Republic and an insult to Peru.

The merchant thought the young
man wouldn't be up to the business
and so the young man turned to go
and in dreamy sort of a way quite
unconsciously took themerchant's silk
umbrella instead Of the cotton one he
had bought and the merchant said:
"Hold on, young man; | guess you
can sell goods. I'll try you, anyway"

but he understood human nature and
knew how to get job.
