zuni COurtship.

The Zuni customs connected with
courtship are curious. Regularly. a
girl expresses fancy for Young man.
Her parents or her relatives inform
those of the youth, and the latter is en-
couraged. If suited, he casually drops
into the house of the girl, when much
the same conversation as the Governor
tried to teach me ensues; and "if it be
well, = the girl becomes his affianced,
or K-tu-k't 'td-ai-ha (his to be.) There
after the young couple may be seen
frequently together-the girl combine
his hair on the sunny terraces, or. in
winter, near the hearth, while he sits
and sews on articles of apparel for her.
When he has "made his bundle.n or
gathered a sufficient number of pres
ents together-invariably including a
pair of moccasins made from a whole
deer-skin-he takes it to her, and. il
they are accepted, he is. adopted as a
son by her father, or, in Zuni LANGUAGE.
" as ward, 7 Td-lR-h't; and with the
beginning of his residence with her
commences his married life. With the
woman rests the security of the mar
riage tiesi and it must be said, in her
high honor, that she rarely abuses the
privilege; that is, never sends her hus-
band ''to the home of his fathers. p un-
less he richly deserves it. Much is said
of the inferior position of women
among Indians. With all adsanced
tribes, as with the Zunis, the woman
not only controls the situation, but her
serfdom is customary, self-imposed.
and willing absolutely. To her belong,
also, all the children; and descent, in
cluding inheritance, is on. her side.-,

The Purchase Of the Salt Lake Tr,huna

The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise
John W. Mackay's home paper, has
the following "story" of'the recent sale
OF the Salt Lake Tribune, which is
correct except in one particular,
namely: Messrs. Hamilton and Hol.
lister having refused to sell, after
agreeing to take $4,000 each for
their two-6fths, Messrs. Goodwin and
Lannan could only buy three-tifths of
the concern, for $4,000. Here is the
Enterprises version: "There have
been several stories about the recent
sale OF the Salt Lake Tribune, all of
wh'ch are wrong in some particular.
ne facts III regard to the sale of the
paper are that it has been purchased
oy Fat. Lannan and Judge Goodwin
for $4,000. Pat. Lannan puts in SIS.
900 and John w. Mackay furnishes
$4,000. He takes a mortgage on
the property, and Messrs. Lannan and
Goodwin pay him interest on the
amount advanced, and pay up the
principal (sG0,0OO) as fast as possible,
or as may seem to them advisable.
This is all there is about the transac.
ton. Mr.. Maekay does not claim to
own the paper, neither has he bought
II and made present of it to Judge
Goodwin"
Nothing has been seen as vet. in
the columns of the Tribune, concern.
ing the change of proprietorship. But,
possibly, Judge Goodwin is ashamed
OF his new partner. He never was
very fond Of "Micks."

As TO GUESTS.
Some Useful Hints to ClOwnish People.

Some Useful Hints to Clownish People.
Don't invite them if you don't want
them.
Don't run into debt to entertain
them in style.
Don't wear your Sunday dress when
you are cooking your dinner.
Don't show them off too publicly if
they happen to be distinguished indi-
vlduals, and don't hide them if they
are poor relatives. "
Don't change the compile xion of
your family prayers to match the re-
l'gon to which they happen to belong.
Don't tell them every minute TO
make themselves at home, but make
YOUR house so home-like that they
can't help feeling at home.
Don't ask them how they like the
food YOU set before them, and don't
season it with scandalous gossip about
your neighbors.
In short, don't exhibit yourself as a
vulgar ass, even if you are naturally
inclined to be one.

A HOG CASE.
In which Two Butchers Claimed TO Have
Purchased the Same Swino.


>. W. Burns, the butcher, is again
IN trouble about hogs. This time. the
hoss are not his, though he thought
they were. At the time of the fire Mr..

which, dAy or two after the fire. he
offered to sell TO Mr.. Burns for SIS
each, on condition that he wait wear
for the balance of the amount due him
Mr. Burns took the hogs, but claimed
that he refused to grant Mr.. Culp a
year on the balance of the account
unless it was secured. Mr.. Culp de.
MES this.
In October Mr.. Culp sold the hogs
to Frank Stable for $3.50 cash. This
would have been penitentiary otfense
II Mr.. CuIp had sold the hogs to Mr..
Burns. The latter replevined the
hogs from Mr.. Stable, and the case
was heard yesterday afternoon, before
a jury in Justice Lemmon's court
The jury found that the alleged sale to
MIR. Burns had not been completed
Mr.. Sab 9 got the hogs.

ELOQUENT HANDS AND FINGERS.
A. Literary Entertainment That De-
lighted an Audience OF Deaf Mutess

PHIADSLPHIA, April aS.-A roomful OF
Intelligent looking people, with ears that
were useless and tongues that could not
speak syllable, sat for couple OF hours
ia Association Hall last night enjoying 0
literary entertainment in the sign Ian
guage. They were in turn amused and
stirred by various emotions, but not ia sound
was uttered by any of the perform
ers. For the benefit of the
few persons present who were
not deaf mutes a running Interpretation
was read, but the curious dumb signs were
of far greater interest than the spoken
language. The occasion OF the entertain
ment was the occurrence of the second an.
niversary OF the Chirological Lyceum
composed entirely OF deaf mutes, which has
been organized in connection with the
Christian Association. One OF the iuci.
dents was debate on the injustice OF the
banishment of Napoleon to st. Helena. a
theme in which debating societies generally
delight. Washington Houston delivered
the Grafton of the evening and the presi-
dent of the lyceum, e. D. Wilson, made an
address. A good many pupils from the
Deaf and Dumb Institution we're present.
