Princess Sarah Winnemucca and her
new white husband, Hopkins, according
to correspondent of the Reno Gazette,

near the Pyramid reservation, a few DAYS
ago. Hopkins and his dusky bride played
poker with two other persons until Sarah

blood fairly bubbling at the insult, asked
him whose money she was PLAYING and
inquired if he remembered the circum.

San Francico in an hour and half, He

An African correspondent of Food and
Health, speaking Of the habits Of the
people and incidents says: OF course
hunters food, such as elephant foot, buf.
talo hump, sea COW, giraffe, and the
hundreds of different kinds of deer that
abound in various parts of the country,
are all more or less good eating, especial.
" when you have good supply of Dame
Natures sauce, hunger on hand. l also
found the coney or rock rabbit a fair
dish, although too much like large rat
to look pleasant on the table. The ma.
tive, of the country are not, as a rule,
great meat eaters, living generally on
corn tcalled three mealies), milk, pump.

then going in for feast of meat. l have
often considered whether to this way of
living may be ascribed the really wonder.

wounds. In the Zulu war | saw four
persons wounded in the legs with bullets,
one of them especially having received a
bullet just below the knee, smashing all
the bones, and leaving a hole that YOU

only hope for any of them was amputa.
ton. This they refused to allow, and
they would do nothing but pour cold
water from time to time. When I last
saw them all but the worst could walk
alone, and his wound looked healthy, the

have lived without an operation. On the
other hand, these men soon succumb to
illness or disease.

THE HEAD-HUNTERs OF BoRNRo.-As
to the head-hunters, who give title to
the book, Mr.. Book has not much that is
new to tell. He himself did not actually
see a head-hunting expedition, and the
Malays themselves who are still addicted
to the practice, evidently shrank from
giving any details. That the practice
still exists there can be no doubt, though
1t is evidently dying out in the regions
over which the Dutch have any control.
1t is curious custom. No youth is al.
lowed to don the tokens of manhood or
pay his address to any Malay maid till
he has been able to bring in two or three
OF his enemies heads. Births, marriages
and deaths, and many other events in the
lives of these half savage people cannot
be properly celebrated without the pres.
enee OF fresh heads; and in almost every
house one or more of these trophies are
slowed away wrapped up in banana
leaves. 1t appears likely that the Gus
tom is simply survival from cannibal.
ism. Indeed, among the few remaining
cannibal Dyaks in Koetel it is still the
custom to reserve the head for the chief,
the remainder Of the victims body being
divided among the common people. These
cannibals, moreover, retain something
like human sacrifices, and the tortures
they apply to their victims remind one of
those that were once common among the
North American Indians. The Sultan OF
koetel himself is nominally a Mahomet.
an. the mo patent sign of his conversion
being his numerous wives, his gorgeous
coats, and his passion for collecting dia.
monds and other jewelry. Mr.. Book is
OF opinion that the head-hunting customs
OF these Malays are rapidly reducing the
numbers of people. In this we think he
is mistaken. These people do not seem
much addicted to wholesale wars, and
the number Of heads taken in year can
have but little effect on the reduction OF
the population; single epidemic OF small
poS or other imported disease would do
FAR more for the extinction of the natives
than the head-hunters will do in twenty
years.-IReview in London Times.

Among other interesting revelations in
a recen. work on Napoleon III. is sing.
ular story to the effect that Andrew
johnson and Secretary Seward had list.
ened to proposal from secret negoti-
ator OF the French Court to pay Sc,
10000 for Lower California and the
northwestern provinces Of Mexico. The
diplomatist making this singular avowal
was himself in the entrigue and asserted
he received Encouragement from both
johnson and Seward. The price to be
paid was to have been shared between
the French and Macmillan, who was
then playing in the last sad scenes of the
melancholy drama which closed with a
terrible climax Of his own death. An
drew johnson was suspected of having a
yearnng for aggrandizing the Republic,
and this was one of the first charges at
first figuring among the impeachment ar
raignment, but rejected at the last mo-
ment, rs IT was suspected that 1t would
involve personages whom the managers
were reluctant to antagonize. Nor were
the Mexicans in ignorance OF this cbarac-
teristic intrigue. Juarez had been
sounded, and either was willing or pre-
tended to be willing to accept the title Of
prince under the empire and settle in
France as resident ambas :ador. 1t was on
learning this that the vehement Carlotta
