Chief winnemucca Dying.
Wiansmucca silver state.

The Pintes hercabouts have learned
by courier that Winnemucca, Chief Of
all the Piutes, is lying at the point Of
death near Fort Bidwell, where. he was
on visit to Ochoho, one Of his faith
full henchmen. The sub-chiefs are de-
spondent, and as Indians are very SUI
perstitious, some attribute his illness
to the witchery of his new wife, while
others think the medicine man is to
blame. 1t is quite probable that if his
sickness ends in death, his wife and
doctor will be made to atone for it
with their lives 1t is customary for
the Piutes, as we'll as many other
tribes, to kill the medicine man who
attends chief during an illness which
ends in death, and they sometimes sac
rifice the unfortunate wife of dead
chief on the grave. An instance of
the latter kind took place here two
years since, when an innocent squaw
was taken with the corpse of her hus-
band to the Harmony mountains, some
eight or ten miles above town, and
sacrificed on his grave, the charge
against her being witchcratt.

She Was Kissed Too much.


II isn't often that a girl is kissed too
much, and less frequently does a 10y
suffer from too much Of that sort Of
thing. IL is different from washing
and ironing and cooking and sweeping
down stairs, and girls have been known
10 seek kissing rather than those things,
and often much 10 the neglect of them.
IL has never been supposed that any
great danger lurked in kissing, even
though a great deal OF il be done, and
IL il is sometimes fatigued the very
ardont-for sometimes the very best
things will fatigue one 1T has usually
been a fatigue which all we're willing
10 accept.
II appears, however, that there is a
great deal OF danger in kissing which
is not sensibly aud decently done. A
story comes through the English pa
pers Of an extraordinary young Ger.
man couple who wagered to kiss each
other ten thousand times in the course
of ten hours. That seems easy enough,
and probably there are thousands OF
young lovers who presume they have
time and again done some thousands
better than that. The wager was the
result of discussion about how many
kisses could be crowded into a given
time. The enterprise was undertaken
with great vigor, the only drawback
being the presence of spectators.
Within the first hour two thousand
kisses we're exchanged. and the out
look was propitious. The record,
however, did not keep up, only one
thousand being added in the second
hour. From this time on the business
Jagged, and at the end of the third
hour both broke down. The young
woman tainted in the midst Of too
much of a good thing, and the young
mans lips were cramped out Of their
usefulness and paralyzed.
II isn't worth while expressing an
opinion about an extraordinary couple
like that. They have their own pun.
ishment in the fact that the matri-
monial engagement between them was
broken of in consequence of the
strange performance. Probably there
isn't any warning in this for Ameri-
can girls. They don't make a public
exhibition Of their kissing. and they
are never known to faint at the eud
Of the third hour. They are the kind
Of girls also who do not paralyze the
young mems lips, aud the young man
whose lips don't paralyze must be a
pretty poor young man if he gives a
girl time TO faint between kisses. But
don't do it in public--it isn't worth
much that way Philadelphia Times.

On Friday night some young men
of our usual quiet community, played
quite a practical joke on young and
handsome Louisvillian who was spend.
ing a few days in our city in search
of pleasure. During his brief visit he
became enamored Of n beautiful and
somewhat vivacious young lady at one

of his love to his supposed gentleman
friends, who, by the means of a forged
letter, arranged meeting between the
couple. At the proper time, when
the town clock toled the hour Of ten,
the ambitious Romeo arrived at the
proposed trysting place, accompanied
by his supposed bosom friend. But
Just as he expected to breathe into the
left ear of his sweetheart a tale Of
love, shot was fired from behind a
stone fence, and the friend of our hero
dropped to the ground with groan,
and Immediately dozen shots were
fired, causing him 10 run for dear life

Griffin, negro, Of Livingstone Parish,
Louisiana, ate piece of meat while
his father was at church. On his
return he beat the boy until he fell

his remains in a swamp, by driving
sharp sticks through his body, to pre-.
