AN EDITORS STRANGE ExpERiENcM.

Having read the story of james Rowe,
the miner, who was nearly killed in an ex-
plosion at Virginia City, and, who every
nigh. since the accident has dreamed of dy-
ing, the editor of the Nevada Transcript re-
lates much more curious experience of his
own. When boy, ten years ago, gun
accidentally discharged sent a load of small
shot tearing into his right arm. The wounds
were several months in healing and ugly
scars were left. A long time afterwards he
was describing the accident to party OF
friends when one of them picking up an
empty gun, and Gaping it, snapped thecap'
To the ears of the narrator the sound Vas
like that of small cannon exploding in the
room. He saw the bright fash and felt the
horrible sensation of being shot to atoms.
He tainted and on recovering consciousness
found physician bending over him. he
felt severe pain in his right arm. Examina-
ton showed that the new skin had broken
and the wounds were bleeding as freely as
at the time of the accident. About year
afterward he underwent similar experience.
As he was walking along the street he heard
the report of pistol shot. Instantly he
felt what seemed to be ball crashing into
his forehead. Horror stricken he placed his
hand to the supposed wound Though ne
could find no mark upon his head blood was
dripping from his fingers. He looked at
the scars and found that they were bleed

Some time ago Philadelphia Quaker, be.

ing wide plain in a hostile country. The
driver of the ambulance called his attention
to four Indians on horseback, who soon sur
rounded the vehicle A young brave made
unmistakable demonstrations of hostility.
The interpreter told them they were peace
men and medicine men. He replied that
they must prove themselves medicine men;
of peace men they had enough already to
steal their land and have soldiers kiln them.
" BE quick" said he; show us some
wonderful medicine work, or we will kill

their rifles and tomahawks.
Here was a dilemma pointing to the old

took out first the upper set and then the
lower set of the teeth, and made motion

my dear fellow" said Lavender, "ii's
all very nice to talk about economizing and
keeping q rigid account of expenses and
that sort of thing, but I've tried It, Two
weeks ago I stopped in ON my way home

CURIOUS INDIAN CUSTOMS.
Peculiar Laws l'hait Govern Property De,
piorabIc Condition of the senecns.

Among the Seneca Indians exist many
curious tribal laws or customs, two or three
Of which will mention There is no way
of transmitting the property of the father to
the children, for the Indian himself is of
very little account in the Indian family.
The children are called by the mothers
name, and through her draw an annuity and
hold property. If a squaw marries white
man, their children are entitled to all the
privileges of full blooded Indian but il
an Indian man marries white woman, their
children are in no manner recognized by the
nations, and having Indian blood in their
veins they cannot become citizens, therefore
are placed in an umenviable position. If a
squaw dies the children are divided among
her relatives and are by law their children
thereafter. The property is dividedamong the
relatives who take the children, and the father
begins over again. If an Indian dies the
squaw may take a proxy husband, which
she has liberty TO change as often as she
chooses aud so on raising the family and
drawing annuities ON each head or "expec-
tation SO long as nature will permit. II
both father and mother die, the property is
given to the administrator to keep for the
children, and as there is no law to compel
him to give it up, he uses ii for his own pur-
pose and lets the children whistle. 1t would
be an easy task to fill many columns de-
scribing various customs of the semi-barhar-
GUS people, but the above will suffice for
this occasion. AS long as the Indians were
held In check by their old pagan ideas of
right, wrong and honor these customs work
ed no great harm but since they have be.
come partially " civilized" they greatly
lower them in the state of morality every
year. They have no objects in life no way
of obtaining any rights or privileges. II
they should clear the land, build home and
accumulate stock and property, their entail
ment laws might deprive them of the labor
of years, and give the property to some CHIEF
who had aptly learned his lesson from his
white brothers. They live in a truly deplor-
able state, and it is no wonder to us, who
see them every day and are eonversant with
their condition, that the Indian always
wears awoe-begone, discontonted and miser-
able look. 1t is a great wrong to keep this
people in that condition, and the attention
of our Legislators cannot be turned to them
any TOO quickly. They are not brought to
this condition because thy inherit vice in
their race, but because the present laws of
the State and nation force them into ii and
bar the avenues of escape. When the In
dian is allotted his land in seyeralty. given
the privileges and rights the whites have,
permitted to protect himself against the
sharks that are continually leeching him,
given the chance to make himself home
then his condition viii begin to improve,
his women will become virtuous, and his
lands bloom and blossom with well titled
fields of grain. -B9Bdio Courier

POETRY
LIVE IT DOWN.

Do people SANDER your good name
About the church or mart or town,
And carry lies on wings OF faines
Just live It down.
Do you aye humbly live discreet,
While villains bass In high renown,
Who pace the earth with shining feet?
Why, live them down.
Are you within the worlds race,
Yet wandering poor meath fortunes frownf
Put on smiling cheerful face
And live itdown.
Do you toll tagging up the hill,
While others Ger your head have flown?
Your god-like heart with courage I'LL
And i've 1t down.
When yelping ours with mounting rage
The voice of reason in you drown.
In patience work TIL doubts assuage,
And live them down
Do people think your heart Is weak
Because your outward bearings meekS
'Caus inward strength you ever seek.
Why, live it down.
Be you In worlds hell-like mart
Fignung none Christian part,
Yet SHINING creature seeming art.
Why, live 1t down.
You'll reach the highest heights you could
on earth, and yet wear heavens crown.
Ii but with god-like heart you should
Live all things down.

A STOLEN UMBRELLA.

An interesting incident, which seems to
furnish hatful of morals to anyone who is
in search Of such articles, occurred at one
OF the Boston depots on recent stormy
day. A gentleman who had no umbrella,
and who had just come into town on local
train, perceived before him, as he stepped
into the street, person whom he took to
be an acquaintance and who had a fine new
umbrella hoisted over his head. Running
up TO him, therefore, he clapped him on the
shoulder, saying as he did SO, by way of a
JOKE
"pll take that umbrella, If you please"
The individual thus addressed looked
around and discovered perfect stranger,
but before tho other could apologize he said
hurriedly.
"Oh, it's yours, is it 2 Well, Ididnt know
that. Here, you can have it," and broke
away, leaving the utensil in the hands of
the first party to the conversation.
The narrative, which Is strictly true, af-
fordsa valuable hint to persons who may be
caught out without protection from the rain.

Hm MASTERS FAITHFUL FRIEND
Near Dayton, New, the body of John Suit
inc, Swiss, was found few days ago. He
had evidently been dead some time, and a
part Of his face had been eaten by coyotes.
The attention of passing Cbinaman was
attracted to the place where he was lying
by the barking of small dog that belonged
to the dead man. The little fellow had kept
sentinel over his dead master, and had en-
deavored to call the attention of passers-by,
as was remembered by several who passed
and thought nothing of the dogs barking.
Suitine left Dayton with heavy load, and
it is supposed that he sank down from ex-
haustion and died. - Territorial EnterprisA

BUT ONE.

The year has but one June, dear friend
The year has but one June:
And when that perfect month doth end,
The robins song, though long, though loud,
Seems never quite in tune.
The rose, though still It's biushing face
BY bee and bird is seen,
May yet have lost that subtle grace
That nameless spell the winds know we'll
Which makes Its gardens green.
Iife's perfect June, loves red, red rose,
Have burned and bloomed for me.
Though still youths summer sunlight glows
Though thou art Kind, dear friend, I find
have no heart for thee.

BIRDS THAT DEvAsrArE GRAIN Fields
Many fields of grain in the Suscol hills, Cal,
have been devastated by wild geese and
ducks. The farmers have tried to keep the
birds away by Illuminating their fields at
night with large lamps and having men ride
around on horseback every few hours, but
with little success. SON Francisco CaR
