An Indian Funeral.

A correspondent of the st Louis he
publican thus described an Indian
funeral in Montana: The subject was
sixteen-year-old nephew of Sitting Bull,
who had been attending school for some
time in the southern part of the Terri
tory, and while there contracted a lung
trouble that proved fatal yesterday.
We followed the procession, which con-
sisted of four old women and two small
boys, professional mourners. The
corpse was most carefully wrapped, all
his new winter clothes being wrapped
about him, around which was large
piece of tent cloth, and the whole bound
with ropes. y 1t was drawn to the place
of sepulture on travois-poles made
fast to the horse with one end trailing
on the ground. The body, singular to
state, lay with the feet toward the horse
and head near the ground. The place
Of final deposit was made of poles ten
feet high, on which was scaffOld of
poles TO receive the body. 1t was no
little job for, the four women to lift and
deposit the body upon such an elevation,
a task which they contrived to accom-
plish by making a temporary ladder.
On this scaffold was already the body of
the deceased's father, who had gone
thither three weeks ago. After "burial"
was completed the four women began
their lamentations, wailing. digging the
ground, chanting, etc. When they had
partially subsidized one of the old women,
whose eyes were Extensively rheumy,
said she had been employed to do so
much crying in the last few weeks that
she had almost lost her sight. When
these four women left four more came,
and thus in relays they will keep up
their lamentations for long period: it
often extends over several years. Not
infrequently relatives of deceased
person held in specially high esteem, in
order to manifest the sincerity of their
grief, seriously mutilate themselves.

swell, just when we got to old man
Westbrook' house 1t commenced rainin'
like blue blazes. never saw it pour
so hard in my life. Mirandy went in to
see if the old folks were gone to bed,
and came out again and said I'd be safe
enough to come In and wait till the rain
was over if / kept mighty still, and IL it
wasn't ever yet when her brother came
home, | must hide some place, or he
would tell ON me. went in and set
down at one corner of the fireplace and
Mirandy she set down in the other, and
we set and looked at the fire and at
each other for long time and listened
to the rain beatin' against the winders.
There was an empty chair setting
t'other side of Mirandy pretty close to
her, so l concluded I'd better go and
set down on that. 1t would be more
satisfaction to be pretty close, even If
we couldn't talk. So went across and
set down, never noticin' the rice puddin'
that had been set on the chair in crock
to COOL The chair hadn't any bottom
in it, but had hoard across where the
bottom ought to we been, and one end
was nearly off; and when set down
in the rice puddin', which was pretty
warm yet, the end of the board
slid off one side of the chair,
and me and the board and the
puddin' went crashin' down through
and struck on the cat, which was layin'
under the chair takin' anap. The racket
all comm on the cats back walked her

walked the dog-and between the yowlin'
of the cat and the howlin' of the dog,
and my knockin' around and tryin'
to get loose, and Mirandy's laughin',
the old folks came rolin' into the
room like thousand of brick and saw
me stickin' in the frame of that old
chair with my toes rubin agin' my
face, and the crock on the floor and me
settin in the crock, while the nice rice
that they lowed to've had for dinner the
next day was splattered all around on

much weight comm onto it at once"
"Well, how did you get outp' asked
one of the bystanders.
"Why. ! had to stay there" said old
Jake, 'till old man Westbrook went
over TO our house and walked up my dad,
and borrowed a saw, and come back
and sawed me out, and as soon as l
got loose broke for home. right through
the rain without any umbreller,
for was afraid the old man might go
for me for KILN his hog, and takin'
his girl home from the spellin."
"And how about the ricep" asked one
of his hearers.
''Oh, that was pretty much worked
off by the rain agin' l got home, but
every body found out about it anyhow.

Walking In.

About the time of the late cold snap
q Board-of- Trade man, who asks as "a
special favor that his name be not given,
said to one of his clerks, in whose jtdg-
ment he had much confidence: .'Go to
Iowa, find out what damage has been
done to the corn by the frost, and wire
me the state of affairs"
The clerk, after he had gotten about
a hundred miles into the State, tele-
graphed: "Crop a failure; buy at
once" N IhfffI kNFWt
The Board-of-Trade man who wishes
his name kept close bought fifty thou
sand bushels. ,v,,a.,s,., ,...,.. ....,,.
The clerk, getting still further into
the bowels of the land, telegraphed:
Crop ruined; buy all you can.
The Board-of-T Trade man, exulting at
his wisdom in sending competent man
out to see how things were, bought fifty
thousand bushels more, and began cal
culating what he should do with his
gains.
Then it suddenly came to pass that
corn went down, and, not being en-
dowed with staying qualities, the buyer
sold out at loss of $4,000. 1W nnr1
Then he tried his hand at telegraph
ing, and this is the word he sent to
the clerk, who had by this time got
ten pretty near the Missouri River:
1.-THE further you go the longer your
walk back will be-. "
81 do not understand" said the clerk
in reply. At ~ . "a a Z
81 mean that your reports have cost
me $4,000, and that you can walk back
from wherever you are. No remittances
from me-
And the clerk is walking in.- Chicago

THE MILKING HOUR.


You good old Boss, stand quietly now,
And don't be turning your head this way.
You're looking for Donald, it's plain to see,
But he won't be here to-day. -,
Nobody 0me with me, dear old Boss,
Donald's gone whistii1sgp down the lane,
And Donald IL vexed with me.
And all because of a trifiing thing:
He asked me q question, and said Nay"
never dreamed that he would not guess
1t was only wOman'sway.
] wonder If Donald has ever learned
The motto of ",rry and try again."
] think, II ne had, II might have been
He had not learned In vain.
And there needn't have stretched between us
On this fair evening, the meadow wide,
And needn't have MIXED alone tonight,
With nobody at my side.
What was 1t he said to me yester eve,
Something about-about my eyes?
It's strange how clever that Donald can be;
That Is, whenever he tries.
Now Bossy old COW, you mustn't tell
That I've cried a little while milking you;
For, don't you see? 1t is nothing to me
What Donald may choose to do.
II he chose to go whistling down the lane,
chose to sing gayly coming here;
But it's lonely without him, after all;
Now isn't 1t Bossy dear?
I-harki who's that? Oh, Donald, it's you'll
Did you speak?-excuse me-what did you
sayY
"May you CARR my pail" Well, yes; at least
suppose, IL gu try, you may:
But, Donald, IL had answered No,
Do you think 4 would have occurred to you
Not to be vexed at woman's way,
But to try what cOaXing would do?

Among the curious things exhibited
at the Louisville Southern Exhibition
were thirteen medallions or castings of
iron representing Christ and the Twelve
Apostles. These were cast from native
ores nearly one hundred years ago at
the old Bellewood Furnace, upon the
Cumberland River, in Eastern Ten
nessee, in molds made ofgreen sandstone.
Considering the rudeness of methods
and the infancy of art in that section
and time, they have finish, smoothness,
and polish that is remarkable. The
delineation of features, the eyes, brow,
chin, etc., are nearly if not quite equal
to the very best grade of chisel work

THERE SEEMS to be a determined
effort to make crime respectable.
We now learn that MIR. Bierne, the
Richmond editor who recently shot
Editor Elam in the thigh, made his
first appearance in his Office on
Friday. He was welcomed by a
large crowd of friends-in fact, mis-
passage through the strees was in
the nature of a grand ovation. Mr..
Bierne is a popular man, but not
quite SO much of hero in the eyes
Of his partisan friends as he would
have been had he killed the Ma
hone editor.

THE TWENTY-FoURTH.

Next to the Fourth Of July, the
Twenty-Fourth of the same month
looms up as the greatest red-letter
day in our calendar. It is the day
on which the Pioneers entered the
Great Salt Lake basin, and Toasted
their weary eyes upon the then bar
rem desert spread out before them,
which, uninviting as it was, offered
them at least q refuge for the pres
ent and home for the future. The
Fourth is the republics birthday
and therefore the first IN import
ance TO them, in common with the
other portion Of the nations people;
but the later day is the one OF local
Importance to those who either
participated in the founding Of our
present commonwealth, or now
enjoy and appreciate its posi- ion
among the communities of the
United States. 1t is matter of
genuine regret that no prepare
items are being made for the
proper celebration of the occasion
in Salt Lake City, the ground upon
which the Pioneers pitched their
tents; it would be an appropriate
and very graceful thing to COM
memorate the Territory's birthday
here, where the glorions sun and
the peaceful Pleiades looked down
upon the entry of civilization into
these mountain-bound wales of the
far west. Other portions Of the
TeTritory,whos settlement occurred
are preparing to do
honor to the day and the occasion,
but here, OF all places the most fit
ting, nothing SO far has been done.
The next city in Importance in
Utah, our neighbor to the north.
Ogden. is making extensive pre-
parations for q genuine good time
on the Twenty-fourth. A large
party of our citizens are preparing
to go there on that occasion.
There will be games, sports,
pastimes and general enjoyment.
Ogden and Salt Lake will again
on the diamond field; Van
Tassell will wave his hat to the
multitude from a giddy height in
his balloon; and a number of Incl.
dents of more or less importance
will occur to make the day one to
be remembered.
If there is anything at all in SEN
and the better part of hu.
will admit that there is a
great deal in it, we ought to pay
proper respect to each and every
anniversary Of the arrival of the
Utah Pioneers in this valley. We
lose nothing by making the occasion
a holiday, and gain something by
showing to the world that we enter
tain proper respect for respecta-
bic things.

THE VISITING EDITORS.

To the gentlemen of the Colorado
Press Association now visiting
Salt Lake City, the HERALD ex.
tends d cordial welcome, courtesy
which we are sure finds hearty re-
Spouse in the voice of the entire
community. 1t is useless TO say
that the gentlemen are above the
average in intelligence and respect
ability - editors always are - or
that the ladies accompanying them
are IS prepossessing and attractive
as the daughters of Eve always are
under favorable conditions. There
is much to be seen in Utah that will
interest, instruct and amuse them,
and the prevailing regret is that
their sojourn viii be SO brief so to
preclude the possibility of their be-
coming fully acquainted. Still,
they have had an introduction to
our community, and if they expert
ence the same degree of pleasure in
knowing us that we do in being
presented to them, a social nucleus
will be- formed around which
friendly relations will hereafter
grow and be strengthened. 1t l.
always agreeable TO meet with the
fraternity, especially when they are
Oh pleasure bent; it is then that
they "shoW up in theic best aspects;
the care-furrowed brow is smoothed
out; all thoughts of the toll and
care Of the sanctum are banished !;
and the buoyancy and joyous dispo-
sitiOn which are more or less the
birthright OF the profession, have
full play.
Some people think that editors
are always serious and sombre, and
they have some reason for such
thoughts, for it is i notorious fact
that editors have more solid and
continuous thinking, rejecting and
delYing into human affairs to dc
than sny other class of beings on
earth. They cannot participate in the
everyday sports and pastimes
of life because they always have
something else to do; it's only when
they kick out of the harness for a
time and forget temporarily that
there are such things as newspapers,
that they really and genuinely enjoy
themselves-and that is what our
Colorado brethren are just now do

JUST WHEN the book writer will
be squelched and humanity have a
rest, no one can at present tell. 1t
is now reported from gentleman
who has something more than a
passing acquaintance with Mrs.
Langtry, that the lady IS en-
ploying some of her spare time
writing a book, in which she gives
her impressions very fully of Amer
lean customs and American people.
A New York publisher has arranged
for the copyright of the book, and
will bring it out about the time the
lady makes up her mind to quit the
American stage.

The selection OF the County Cen
trail Committee was made by retain.
ing the old committee.
A call was made for the report
of the committee on resolutions,
which was read by Gen. a gramonte
censuring Congress for not passing
more radical laws and demanding 2
legislative commission appointed
from residents of the Territory.
HOge and Dennay strongly opposed
the ado ton OF these resolutions
claiming it to be strictly improper
for precinct or county conventions
adopting any resolutions, claiming
that all resolutions should come
from the Territorial conventions.
But owing to the radical tone of
the resolutions Brady could not
refrain from advocating their adop-
ton; however, Bradley notwilh-
standing, the resolutions were tabled
and the committee discharged.
Denney and HOge Supported a mo-
ton that no resolutions setting
forth the grievances and principles
Of the Liberal party be adopted or
introduced in any county or precinct
convention. This was strongly OBJ
jected to by Bradley and others and
the motion lose.
After being in session for forty
five minutes the convention ad-
jouTned.
