Secretary Folger instructs the collector of
San Francisco that certificates from the
Chinese government that the Chinese emf
grants bearing them are TRADERS are to be
regarded as primao .facie evidence only of the

these certificates are evidently fraudulent,

last week. The groom is Geoge F.

to the issuing of the license and gave
his assent to t. marriage.

only few years more than the lawful
matrimonial age in the grand old COM

uptuous looking girl, and. in fact, re-
sembles child that had not passed
the spanning age, and the groom was
not much her superior in this respect.
The bride was modestly and neatly at

Arkansaw Traveller.
The chuch was crowded. Young
Mulkittle, invited by the boys, toox
a seat with them. The city preacher
arose and began his sermon. The
congregation listened with breathless
attention.
"See that ar string?" asking Bill
of young Mulkittle, pointing to the
nail. "Wail. if you pull that you'll
catch fish"
Where will the fish come from -.
"He'll come outen the pond out

"Will he bite?"
No, he'll lay right still aud you
can take him home with you. Pull
the string and Bill moved away.
Mulkittle took hold of the string and
looked at his father. He wanted .
tish, but he had his doubts as to the
practicability OF Bills suggestion,
but he could see no harm in the ex-
pertinent. Mr. Mulkittle was raised
his voice in q kind of glori6ea
shout that in town he would not have
attempted. The boy pulled the
string and the wasp-nest fell.

1t was not long until Mulkittle and
his boy were riding rapidly toward
home. The preachers face looked
like a corn6eld pumpkin. He did
not suspect the child. When he

asked him what the mater. A fly

The San Francisco Post, in speak ing of the abandonment of Fort Yu- ma, says: $50 Fort Yuma has been abandoned To those who have read the writings of John Ph@nIx Lieut. Derby thls news will bring some sad recollections. Derby was stationed at Fort Yuma i'll the ffties, and 1t was from thence emanated these mag
 nifcent scintilIations that were the foundations of the school of Ameri- can humor of which Orphens c. Kerr, Artemus Ward and Mark Twain were disciples. Derby's little hit att the climate of Fort Yuma Is remembered aud laughed at to this day. Yuma is situated on the Colorado river, on the edge of sandy plain, and in the summer the heat is of terrible inten- sIty. The story was that two soldiers died at Yuma and went to hell, and, after spending a few days in that watering place, wrote back to Yuma
 for their blankets. There is also In- terest attaching to Fort Yuma from
 the fact that it was the resting place for the California immigration via the southern route in the early days, and many now rich and comforta- ble Californian looks back to Yuma with recoll ections of how we'll bis ba

THE LABOR OF AN EDIToR.-The London Tines, speaking of editors labor says it t-can only be appreciated by those who have had the fortune to have some experience in 1t, The merest slip of the pen, an epithet too much, wrong date, a name misspelt, or with wrong initial before it, the misinterpretation of some passage, perhaps incapable of interpretation, the most trifing offence to the per sonal or national susceptibility of those who do not even profess to care for the feeling ofothers, may prove not only disagreeable, but costly mls- takes; but they are about the least of the mistakes to which an editor is liable. The editor must be on the spot till the paper is sent to the press, and make decisions on which not only the approval of the public but even great causes may hang. He can-
 not husband his strength with com parative repose in the solitude of a study, or the freshness of green fields. He must see the world, converce with its foremost or busiest actors, be open for information, and on guard against error. All this should be borne in mind by those who complain that journalism is not infailibly accurate, just and agreeable.

Rich Indians.

The Navajos are a great nation, numbering some 27,000 souls. Of this number there are some 10000 warriors. They are well armed, but, fortunately for the whites, have lm- nense focks of sheep and many cat tie and ponies, which tend to keep them at peace Manuelito Is reported to be worth not less than $300,000, most of it being in sheep. He has been an Indian of great character and power, but of late has become a great drunkard. The Navajo Indian Agency is forty five miles north from Fort Wingate, N. M. They manu
 facture curious and unique orna- ments from silver coin, and their blankets and rugs have already be- come famous for curious mingling of colors and remarkable textures. They are eagerly sought for by the whites. and have a high value, ranging from 5 to S1OO each, which1s really not extravagant when one considers that they often occupy weeks and months in weaving them.

 "'No sir-no sir. It is a very rea- sonable bill"
 Let's see," unused the Colonel, as he pulled out his pencil. I can buy a pistol good enough to shoot you for S5, your burial will cost me S4. It will cost me S25 to be tried, and we'll say S5 more for whisky for the jury. Doctor, l reckon you'd better make about $40 deduction in that bill !'

One of them, instead of going at it in proper
manner, teok hatchet and went to chopplng

explosion resulted, and as there were three
other kegs Of similar size standing near, the
whole hundred pounds went off at once. OF
the fifteen Cinnamon standing near, ten are
supposed to be fatally wounded and burned
in horrible manner. One man, the. book
man, ''and the best in the gang, was thrown

Of powder was standing ON the platform of

around the same caught fire, as well as the
rope which held it. The rope burned off
and the platform went crashing down into

$50 pounds of powder confined in a small
space. With rare presence of mind he
jumped aside and then kicked the fire away
