Mourning COIOrs.

In Italy women grieve in white gar
ments and men in brown. In China
white is worn by both sexes. In Tur-
key, Syria, Cappadocia, and Armenia
celestial blue is the tint chosen. In
Egypt, yellowish brown-the hue of the
dead Leafs deemed proper and in
Ethiopia, where men are black, gray is
the emblem of mourning. All of these
colors are symbols. White symbolizes
purity, an attribute of our dead the
celestial blue, that place of rest where
happy souls are at peace the yellow or
dead leaf tells that death is the end OF
all human hope, and that man falls as
the autumn leaf, and gray whispers of
the earth to which all return. The Syr-
ians considered mourning for the dead
an effeminate practice, and SO when they
grieved they put on women's clothes as
q symbol of weakness, and as shame
to them for lack of manliness. The
Thracians made feast when one OF their
loved ones died, and every method of
JOY and delight was employed. This
meant that the dead had passed from a
state Of misery into one of felicity. Black
was introduced az mourning by the
Queen of Charles VIII. Before that the
French Queens wore mourning and were
known as white Queen.

Oddities in a SculptOr's Gallery.

81 meet some very curious persons,
said a sculptor to Sun reporter. For
instance, you see me now trying to make
broken nose. This is the bust of
Southern merchant who died about
year ago, and his widow insists that, as
he had broken nose, this portrait of
him should faithfully show the infirm-
ity. But that is nothing. Look, see
here ~
In the corner stood model of pre-
possessing young face, except that it
was cross-eyed.
81 spent three days in trying to con-
vince the mother of that girl that the
omission would be proper and artistic,
but all to no purpose. She insisted that
it could not be portrait without that
peculiarly. pleaded that the Grecian
and Roman sculptors Gid not even repre-
sent the eyeball in its natural state, but
the only answer was Them fellers
could do as they pleased. l want my
darter's eyes jist as they wuz. 4"
mot long ago a lady who came to
criticise her husbands bust, said that
although he was advanced In years, he
had rosy complexion
"A friend of mine rushed In here one
day and breathlessly recounted how he
had seen in Cavalry Cemetery profile
with two eyes, one of which was almost
over the ear. Did / doubt his word
No, sir. / sat him right down here and
showed him line of infirm busts. He
went away happy.
"There you see bust that has nc
lips, was going to say. That was made
in obedience to the desire of Wall.
street broker. He insisted that his
brothers lips were 80 thin that the red
didn't show. / altered them a dozen
times, and finally, to save my reputation,
traced light line to show where nature
and myself know there must have been
the contour of the lip.
"No, my experience has not been
that people desire their friends portraits
idealized. The true artist can, and
should, disguise what nature has over
done or not properly done without dis
troying the resemblance, But the
majority of persons won't have it. In
this, if nothing else, they enjoy realism. y

Married Folks Would be Happier

If home trials were never told to
neighbors.
If they kissed and made up after every
quarrel.
If household expenses were proper
toned to receipts.
If they tried to be agreeable as in
courtship days.
If each would try and be support
and comfort to each other.
II each remembered the other was q
human being, not an angel.
If women were so kind to their hus-
bands as they are their lovers.
If fuel and provisions were laid in dur
ing the high tide of summer.
If both parties remembered that they
were married for worse as well as for
better.
If men were as thoughtful of their
wives as they are of their sweethearts.
If there were fewer silk and velvet
street costumes and more plain, tidy
house dresses.
If there were fewer "please darlings I"
in public and more common manners In
private.
If wives and husbands would take
some pleasure as they go along, and not
degenerate into some toiling machines.
Recreation is necessary to keep the heart
in its place, and to get along without it
is big mistakes. Sunday Courier.

"What are you going to do now?"
asked the old man of the surveyor, who
was surveying the line between two
farms.
"Find the exact line," was the reply
At this the man wheeled and went off
on the gallop, and he was seen no more
until the line had been run. The sur
veyor and the first named farmer had
just completed the work when the other
came up to within about ten feet of them
and asked:
"Wdl, have you got through"
Eyes, oil through"
"And is the fence foot on his FARM"
"No; he has two feet of yours, and
the fence must be moved 30 that you can
have it."
The man sprang upon q stump, faced
q thicket about five rods away, and yelled
out:
You there-Reuben and James and
Samuel The survey is made and we
are all right You kin shoulder them

Prs.pseI0rs Attacked ht Euekhorn Basin.
 lPhsnIx Hersld.l
 George Mesrole arrived in town last evening from BuckhOm Basin, ln the Chiricanuas, and brought information of an Indian raid that took place 10 that vicinity last Monday evening. A party of four miners named Bob Roberts, Pat Clancy, Blrty Peck and BIIy Dunn, were engaged m working on an open cut in the Harding claim m the south ern and more isolated part Of the dls- trlct. Two Of them, Clancy and Peek, were at work ID the cut, and the other two were asserting and sackIng pile of ore on the dump preparatory Co snlpplng 70 an arrastra to be reduced. The meu ou the dump were joking and chatting gslly, when suddentiy B vOlley fromsOme unseen source, made them seek shelter beside the dump. The shooting was ac- cUmpanied by several savage yells and ere many seconds, some seven or eight Indians hove into sight. The men IL ,he cut were safe from attack, while the men who were crOuched near the dump were only partially so. Dunn concluded that he would make break tu enter the cut, though Roberts strongly adVlsed him to stay where he was, and he would be safe. Dunn, not needing hls part ner's advice, made a rush, but the Cul- lets were too fast tor him, and Ons struck him III the left shoulder, brug- Ing hIm to the ground before he got Co his haven. H. then crBwled into the cut, and u lively fusilade wHs kept uP by the sRgages interspeTsed with ire luent wells, and other indications Ot savage glee. One Of the men had a small pocket pistol, which was Iired oil, as 6 feint tO make the 5avages believe that thsy were armed, and as they dld not approach any nearer It IS probable that the ruse wns successful The firing was kept up al intervals until alter dark, when 1t suddenly ceased, and she savages were heard riding away south ward. Several bullets struck the earth unpleasantly near Roberts and la con seIuplated several times following the example of Dunn by making a break for the cut. Dunn's vUusd iE serious but not dangerous, the bullet passing through the shoulder Gs far as the skin on the other side where 1t lodged. As soon as the Indians went of one Of she men made an incislon into the flesh Gnd extracted the ball. Mir. MesrOle states that preparations were being made tU bring the wounded man to the hospital Tn this city, when he left.
 It is the general impression that Apaches are continually lurking around the Chlricahuas, and miners and pros pectors go to work armed, invariably. Tbe day on which the attack was made was the first day in four months that Dunu's party went to work without heir guns. The people il tha: vicinity are extremely auxIous that Crook should pay them a visit. They think some rOy- ing band from Sau Carlos would tread on the tail of bis coat before many days

Ifnpardiu Trouble.

One afternoon, about the middle Of September, in the city of Philadelphia, an attorney for Charles Hood, we'll known theatrical advance agent, placed IL the hands ot the sheriff writ for the arrest of William Horace LIngard, now playing ct the Arch Street Iheater. The writ was upon the affidavit of NIT Hood, who claims th8t MT. Lingard owes hlln S90 as salary from last season, and IS about to leave the city without paylng the debt. Mr. Hood was en- gagged as advance agent for the Lin- gard troupe in the Fall of 1881. His contract with NIT. Lingard provided that be should neither leave or be dis missed without four weeks notice. The trOupe's tour did not prove success ful, and when Utica, \. r., was reached, it was alleged that Mr. Lingsrd, witb the fair Alice, abandoned the company, leaving many of the members in des- titute condition, and with balsrles un- paid all around. This, it Is said, is about the time that LlDgard vas get ting up "Pinaiore" company 10 go Co San Francisco. Mir. Hood, although he had been watching the comedian ever since, did not. until to-day have an op- portunity to serve writ upon mm. MT. Lingard will be expected to find bail in the sum of $500 as security for Mir. Hoods claim of $90 for four weeks and three days salary at S20 per week. Mindful of the difficulties attending the serving of the writ upon Miss Fanny Davidson last Spring in the suit of Miss Annie Dickinson, the attorney made ar rangements with a sheriffs officer for the arrest of Mir.

Chicago,s Police system.

The novel pohce system adopted by Chicago q year snd half ago IS said to have proved perfectly successful The city is divided into 24 districts, in each of whichls Q depot containing three po- licemen, a wagon and four horses. Throughout the city are police boxes, looking like the old-fashioned sentry boxes, and provided with telegraph sig nals and telephones. The door IS kept locked but san be opened by anybody needing police aid, keys being literally distributed among stores and residences. Private individuals can thus send an alarm by telegraph just as we transmit fire calls in this city. Each key IS num- bered and registered, and, after beng used to open box, IS held fast ID the lock until released by a policeman. Thus mischievously false alarms are de tected. When an alarm IS received at a depot, the police on duty there drive quickly to the box in response The tel ephones are used by patrolmen to make periodical reports, and thereby rounds men are done away with, and every man is directly under the control of his cap tain. When a pstrolrnBn makes sn ar rest he does not desert his beat, but calls the wagon to take the prisoner away. Householders may have private signal boxes by paying the cost. The superintendent declares that his force IS much better controlled than before, that crimes are fewer, that criminals are more easily caught and that the expense IS no greater.
