At Scotch Graves.

Everybody knows that there is no SER
vice at the grave In Scotland, although
the clergyman under whom the deceased
"sat is often, indeed usually, present.
The hats of those In attendance may be
taken Oft the moment after they have
lowered the coffin into the grave just for
an instant, but even this is not always
the case. This habit of dispensing with
religious exercises had its origin, no
doubt, in the Scotch horror OF doing
anything that might give a color to the
charge of following the Roman Catholic
fashion of praying for the dead. The
reading of a chapter of the Bible and
short prayer in the house before the
cortege sets out for the church-yard is
the sole religious service, and the pre-
hminaries to this are sometimes of
kind TO raise the idea that care is taken
to disconnect it from the peculiar cir
cumstances of the occasion. Twenty
years ago l was at funeral III the coun-
try at which the minister and his col
league of the church to which the de-
ceased belonged attended. After the
company had assembled, some decanters
of wine and tray of cake were brought
In and set upon the table. The daughter
of the deceased, herself clergyman's
wife, then suggested that the senior min
lister should ask "blessing p This re-
quest served as an excuse for long
prayer appropriate to the circumstances
Of the occasion which had brought us
together, and after that was over cake
and wine were handed round. Then q
request was made that the junior cler.
gyman should "return thanks" and he
readily enough INDUCED in prayer, in
which he gathered up the fragments
suitable to the circumstances which his
colleague had omitted, and that was the
whole religious service-simply grace
before and after meat. Macmillan

How He Struck a bonanza.

We had been roughing it around for q
couple of months when we found our
selves one evening camped outside OF
Monterey. Our finances were very low.
There was only few dollars in the
whole crowd, and we felt rather blue.
We had been for several days discussing
what was best to be done. We knew
little of the language of the country;
there was no work that suited us, or
that we were capable of doing, and
stages in that country wouldn't pay the
wear and tear of robbing them.
We were sitting around the campfire
in a very respondent frame of mind
when McInnis came in from town.
Hello, boys" he shouted; 1--WE
found it-struck q bonanza. We are
well fixed; cheer up. We are all right
now, and don't you forget it.
What is it?" we asked
You never mind" he replied; "you
follow me and I'll show you"
We filed after him into town. He led
us through the main street, across the
plaza, and down into the poorest part of
the town. Stopping in front of q small
adobe store, he marched us all in. Nc
Innis stood looking from one to the 9TH
er as If waiting for applause.
We could see no sign of the bonanza,
and in chorus we impatiently demanded
that he should explain.
How much money have we in the
crowd 2" inquired McInnis.
Seven dollars and half, all told"
replied our Treasurer.
well, didn't say we were all rich2"
Eyes, but we can't see how we can be
rich on $780,"
"You can't, eh ?" said McInnis.
Cant you read ?" and he pointed
proudly to a card hanging above the
counter, ON which was printed the
legend:

cit sounds like a good deal to say,
but once knew man who died and
was buried on the overland trail to Cali
fornia, and afterward made his appear
ance in the placer mines at Prickly Pear
Gty--and it wasn't his ghost either, but
himself in the flesh" This was the re-
ply which q well-known resident of
Helena, Montana, made to a reporter
who was applying the "Reminiscences ex-
tractor.
- In the spring of 40" continued the
citizen, "when the California gold ex.
element was at its height, in company
with large party, l crossed the plains.
After getting well under way the cholera
broke out among Us and several died.
Among other deaths was that of man
named w. H. Clark, of Henry county,
Mo. We buried him near the point
where the old Santa Fe trail crossed the
Arkansas river. We had no coffin, but
wrapped him in his blankets, and, in
closing him in a covering OF bark
stripped from the cottonwood trees, we
planted him about seven feet deep in
the sand, and piled logs on the grave to
keep the wolves from digging him mp.
The next morning We moved on.
81 remained in California until '67,
and was then attracted to Montana by
the gold excitement. In 1868, while in
the diggings at what is known as Mon
tara City, was startled at meeting
Clark, whom, with my own eyes, l had
seen buried on the Arkansas river nine
teen years before. The recognition was
mutual, and, on my expressing my sur
prise, he related to me that after our
party had buried him and proceeded on
toward California party of Indians
came along, and, seeing his new-made
grave, dug him up for the sake of his
blanket and clothing. As Re showed
signs Of life they applied restoratives,
and the result was that he was brought
back to life and health. He lived among
the Indians for years, and afterward
came to Montana. At the time met
him he was working for Jerry Embry.
There is absolutely no doubt as to Clark's
identity, and he is now living at Pres
colt, Arizona, believe. "-Helena In

The New Prisoner OF Chillon.

The Castle of Chillon has another
mysterious prisoner. Bonivard's sue
cessor Is lady 40 years old, said to be
a Russian" and her offense is that she
tried to shoot a simple German from
Magdeburg as he sat on the terrace in
front of his hotel at Glion. She seems
to have done so under a misapprehen-
sion. She thought he was a Nihilist, and
whether she tried to kill him because
she believed him to be traitor to the
cause or, as other coniectures have it,
because she wanted to punish him for
his sentiments to the Gar can make no
difference in the regard worshipers of
force must have for her.-.G. james

The LAW OF Kindness.

It would be a blessing and kindness to poor,
weak. nervous, debilitated, suffering humanity,
il druggists would stop selling the many vile
purgatlve pills and cathartic compounds adver-
tsed for the cure of liver complaint. Although
they afford temporary relief, they weaken the
digestive organs and compel continued and
increasing use Of the same. Sufferers ir IN
dyspepsia and liver complaint do not need a
cathArlic but should use some true medicinal
tonic that will strengthen the digestive organs
and heal the diseased tissues Of the stomach,
liver and bowels. A preparation of Yellow Dock,
Sarsapsrilla, Iron, Celery, Buchu and Calisaya
has proven very efhcacous as permanent
strengthener of the digestive organs. These
ingredients all enter into the composition OF DIR.

remedy highly recommended az ageneral health

The principle upon which PUTNAM's PAINLESS
Conn EXTRACTOR acts is entirely new. 1t does
not sink deep into the flesh, thereby producing
soreness, but acts directly upon the external
covering of the corn, separates 1t from the
under layer, removes the direct pressure from
the part, and at once effects n radical cure,
without any panyor discomfort. Let those who
are suffering from corns, yet skeptica of treat

A Negroes Discovery.

There is weed in the South known as
tie wild coffee plant, which has caused
the planters a good deal of trouble and
annoyance, and has consequently been
greatly despised. 1t has recently been
discovered that the plant has its use, as
rope can be made from it equal to the
best hemp, and stronger and finer than
tie. The discovery was made by G ne
gro who needed piece of rope, but could
find none. On looking around his at
tention was attracted to this plant, and
he cut the stalks and treated them in the
same manner he had been accustomed to
see hemp treated in Kentucky, and the
result was fiber OF good length and of
surprising strength, which the old man
soon converted into rope.

astronomers. Their business is always
