Indian Barbarian in California.

A San Francisco paper says: Amo, the squaw who was injured at the Sum- init, is dead. It is known that the Washoe tribe never allows cripple or a dismembered Indian in the camp. The woman Amo was healthy young squaw and the operation of smputation could have been successfully performed. Her tribe, however, insisted on taking her from the hands of the doctor and re. moving her to one of their campoodes on the hill. Although her injuries were severe no one thought that her life was at all endangered. In less than six hours from the time she was removed she was dead. Her corpse was rolled in blankets and brought down by members of the tribe to the train, showed on the plat form and taken to Reno. The belief is that she was at once killed by the mem. bers of her tribe, and the taking of the body to Reno was that she might be cremated there in accordance with h. dian usage. Dr. Curless, who is the surgeon of the railroad company at Truckee, stated that the death was en- tirely unexpected. He did not have an opportunity to view the remains, so could not express a positive opinion. Amo was squaw of about nineteen years of age, healthy and vigorous, but given, it is said, to the flowing bowl, and endeavoring to get on passing train at the Summit she fell under the cars and both feet were crushed. The railroad company were about to send her to the railroad hospital at Sacramento, but the Washoe Indians objected. There is no doubt but she was the victim of Indian barbarous practices, and was killed rather than to have her live a cripple.

The Grim Spectre.

The Boston Herald tells this little story: Saturday afternoon, while the clerks of the Custom-House were fgur- ing how much longer they would get to eat quail on toast at Uncle Sam's expense, & dilapidated specimen of the tramp tribe entered the sacred precincts of Gen. Swift's room. He was a tough. looking boy. Both eyes were handsomely frescoed, while the dust of many a month festooned suit of dirty black. He surveyed the premises for about a minute and then handed the clerk an envelope addressed to one of the officials. The visitor had attracted the attention of all the clerks in the room and they all crowded about the owner of the message to see what it said. It contained these few words-nothing more: "Please measure the bearer for your desk" The message was kindly received and favor. ing wind soon blew the to be official up to a neighboring restaurant.

The pay train stopped at Willow Bend to pay the railroad hands and to lqui- date claims for cattle on the track in that section. A gaunt, hungry looking granger stepped up to the smart young man who WAS dispensing the cash in the rear end of the car.
 "Got my name on your books, Mis- ter ?"
 "How should I know unless you tell me your name?"
 "Kerrect you are. You have got the edge on me there. Well, my name is Rufus AcConkey."
 "Yes," said the young man, referring to his books: "Mr. MoConkey, have got you down for hog"

TROUBLES IN CHINA.
Churches Destroyed by Mobs and Converts
 Outraged.

Chinese mobs have been committing fearful outrages on persons and places of Christian worship, at Canton and interior points. In the province of Kwang -Tung alone four Roman Catholic and five Protestant churches have been destroyed, 120 houses of resident Chris tians footed and their occupants driven away At Nam-hoi three Catholic chapels were pi- Jagged as were also the houses of converts The priests and the converts were beaten. At Shi-hung the Church of England chapel was destroyed. At Chant-sung the Wesleyan chapel was destroyed.
 Christians are fleeing from the province to Hong-Kong. The Chinese gave them the alternative of sacrificing to the idols or leaving their homes. They preferred the latter, but while leaving many of tue women were caught and criminally assaulted. The authorities of twelve Cantonese villages have issued notices that all Christians must leave Fifteen churches in those villages have already been destroyed and several stores footed. Many persons are homeless Although the attention of the Chinese Government has been called to these barbarous acts, no action has been taken to prevent them or to punish the perpetrators At ite-Yung a mob destroyed all the Roman Catholic and English churches At Swa-tow the Catholic priests were ordered to leave, and, after they had left Chinese soldiers broke into the houses and ravished the female converts

A Mountain of Cod.

Professor Huxley says that "a moun- tain of cod," varying. from 12O to 15O feet in height, moves for two months in every year from westward to southward past the Norwegian coast. Every square mile of this colossal column contains 120, 900, ,000 of fish, which even on short rations consume no fewer than $40, ,OOO,- 900 of herrings every week. The whole catch of the Norwegian fisheries never exceeds ill a year more than half a mile of this cod mountain, and s,ne weeks supply of herrings is needed to keep that area of fish from starving.
