The San Francisco Post, speak
 ing about the abandonment Of
 Fort Yuma, says: SD Fort Yuma
 has been abandoned! To those
 who have read the writings of
 rare John Phoenix (Lieut. Der
 by) this news will bring some sad
 recollections. Derby was sta
 toned at Fort Yuma in the fif-
 ties, and it was from thence en-
 anated those magnificent scintil-
 lations that were the foundation
 of the school of American humOr
 of which Orpheus C. Kerr, Arte-
 mus Ward and Mark Twain
 were disciples. Derby's little hit at the climate of Fort Yuma is remembered and laughed at to
 this day. Yuma is situated on
 the Colorado river. on the edge of a sandy plain, and in the sum-
 mer the heat Is of terrible inten-
 sity. The story was that two
 soldiers died at Yuma and went

 suppressed out of charity to our
 readers. If, however, any of
 our readers have not heard the
 story they can hear of something

 to Fort Yuma, from the fact tha . it was the resting place for th' California immigration via th, , southern route in the early days :; and many a rich and comfortable 5 Californian looks back to Yumi with recollactiOns of how wei his bacon and frying pan bread tasted at that place, while rest ing on his weary journey acros a the plains.

THE ASSaSSIN'S BONES.

Tn the small room in the upper story in the Army Medical Museum, formerly Ford's rheater, in this city, are two wooden trays similar 10 those used by housekeepers for knead- ing dough, but in this instance the contents of the trays are of d more ghastly description, being the highly polished bones of the assassin Guiteau.
 While inspecting these remains of the notorious criminal, the attention of yonr correspondent was directed to the extraordinary WhiteneSS of the bones and their resemblance to polished ivory. No attempt has been made to ar ticulate the skeleton, and the trays bear no number by which they could be distinguished from similar receptacles in the museum. 'LOOk in that box over there if you want to see all interesting skull" said tl.e guide pointing to deep hat box on a small table strewn with bones and tools used by anatomists. There was d nightly polish ed skull in the box, and on the right side was the utflectiOn which the insanity experts Wrangled about during the trial. The attention of the guide was drawn to the
 fact, hut he laughed at the idea of it's being an indication of insa-
 nity. "A perfectly symmetrical

The account of it is thus given Tn an English journal: A sergeant commanded ths soldiers at the chulch, and when the person had read the prayers he took the text. Those who had bibles took them out; but this soldier had neither bible nor common prayer book and, pulling out Il pack of cards, he spread them before him. He first looked at one and then at the other. The sergeant of the company saw him and said:
 "Richard, put up the cards; this is no place for thern."
 "Never mind that" said Rich ard.
 When the service was over the constable took Richard prisoner and brought him before the Mayor.
 "Well," said the Mayor, "what have you brought the soldier here for?"
 "For plying cards in church. ''
 "Well, soldier, what have you to say for yourself?"
 "Much, Sir, 1 hope.
 "Very good; if not, I will pun

Funeral services over the bodies of four

Twelve little girls dressed in white and

bic.
PITTSBURGH, February 9S.-A novel suit
is threatened by resident OF the First
ward, Allegheny, against several well
known citizens of the same city, among
them prominent Alderman. The suit is
for conspiracy and the charge will be that
the defendants banded together to elect the
prosecutor as constable in the First ward,
against his wishes and knowing that he
would not serve. The circumstances Of
the affair are as follews: A number OF
the friends of Robert Morrow, a jovial
Irishnan who lives in the First ward
and pursues his avocation as Gig ar agent,
got up joke on him to run him for consta-
Bile, we'll knowing his distaste for politics
and never dreaming that he would be elect
ed. Tickets with Morrow's name on as
candidate for Constable, were printed and
circulated and votes for him went in with
q rush. To add to the interest, bis oppo-
nent, James Taylor withdrew, and Morrow
to his own surprise and that Of the jokers
was duly elected, He declares that he does
not want the office, will OF have 1t, and an
nounces his intention of bringing suit Tor
conspiracy. One of the jokers, who is
legal gentleman, says that Morrow is not
eligible, as he has not resided in the
ward long enough to hold any office.
