THE LIVING SKULL.
Weird Adventures Of a French Ohicer
Who Drinks to the Dead.
Nea0 York telegram.

A French officer during his Crimean
campaign was riding one night with a
few men along the shore when his atten-
ton was attracted by skull shining
white in the moonbeams. IL was so per-
feet and the teeth so brilliant that he was
seized with the desire to possess it, and
jumping from his horse, he caught it up,
and, swinging it to his saddle, galloped
of while the bullets of the Russian SEN
tries whizzed round his ears. AS the
small party returned to the bivOuac they
passed a redoubt occupied by French
marines. who invited them TO par
take of rough-and-ready supper.
Captain B., the officer who tells the
story, drew his prize from under his long
cloak and placed it on the table. Sailors
, are proverbially superstitious, and there
was a very deep murmuT of disapproYal,
while gloomy looks replaced the former
boisterous mirth. The situation was not
a lively one. A rough hut, lighted by one
feeble candle, whose pickering light
brought the deep shadows, and without
weird silence, only broken by the MUIR
muTing of the wind. The host, the leader
of the marines, tried to rally the spirits
of the party. Raising his glass he cried:
Come, now, let US drink 10 lhe uNlng
and the dead"
Scarcely were the words uttered than
the skull, to which all eyes were directed,
made a sudden visible movement and
CRASHED its teeth with unmistakable en-
ergy. The effect was indescribable.
The panic-stricken spectators made a
sudden retreat, and one Of the sailors who
was standing by the table in his hasty
movement overthrow and eXtinguished
the solitary light. The darkness was COM
plete, and through it. was heard the
! strange sound Of the moving skull rat
| Ting against the wood and the inlermit-
| tent gnashing OF teeth.
Cant. b., who Is reckOned among the
bravest of the French officers, declared
he never felt any sensation like the ter
rors he then experienced
LET us relight the CANDLE" said the
officer of Marines at last IN astltied voice.
Somebody produced match and its glim-
mer showed a group of pallid and agitated
countenances. The sinister tOO-tOO Of the
teeth still went on. The deaths head had
rolled from the table 10 the floor and was
marching about with irregular action.
Captain b., rousing himselIby "a violent
mental effort. advanced and seized the
eruesome visitaut and turning II over
discovered two large crabs. The mystery
was explained. The crustaceans had
taken up their locality M this convenient
resting place while the skull was the
snort of the waves, ana the soldier in his
haste had never noticed that his trophy
was tCnanted

ANOTHER CONVERT.

The New York Herald is the latest con-
vert 10 the cremation movement. 1t
realizes that there is a growing indifier-
ence among men as to what shall become
of their remains. Especially among the
more thoughtful classes is this Indifference
manifest, and from among these come the
recruit, to the cremation hosts. Men are
getting clearer view Of the vanity Of
hope that zeaiou, care for q corpse will
long survive personal association with the
living man" Sohliemann is searching
and probably in vain, for the tomb of Alex
ander the Great; the dead kings of Egypt
form subjects for museums, and even the
church fails to protect the bodies Of the
Popes from dissertation, since only recently
the coffin of Clement " was opened al
Niterbo and the skeleton stripped of the
vestments and jewels. The plate of the
coffin of Louis NV. became afrying-pan in
4 kitchen, from whence Sommerard res
cued it, and it is now exposed in the
Cluny Museum The buried brains of
James II. of England were dug up in
their leaden box two years ago while
workmen were sinking drain beneath a
chapel. The tomb of james /. was not
protected by its royal character, and the
coffin of Katherine, Queen TO Henry V,
was lifted from its resting-place fell to
pieces, and a part of the cere cloth was
cut off as a present to Queen Victoria.
The Herald finds nothing revolving in the
act of Sir Charles Dixie in committing the
body of his wife to the crematory. 1t will
realize before the close of the decade that
the great mass Of thinking men will turn
in disgust from the burial Of loved remains,
and that cremation viii become the rule
and burial the exception. The sequester-
ing of grounds for the communicating pur-
poses of burial will but little longer be
submitted to by the people. Sanitary
science will fortify the demand for crema-
ton, and the civilized nations Of the earth

LET US MOURN TOGETHER.

What a magnificent tribute it is to
republican institutions this universal
plant of woe, these deep and heart
felt expressions Of sorrow for the
death of one of the saviors of the Union
The national heart is sound to the core,
and republics are not ungrateful. No
matter where General Grants body may
be laid away TO mo!der and return to dust !;
no matter what stones shall encase his
mortal remains; no matter what lofty
shafts of marble or structures OF enduring
bronze may be erected to his fame-he is
buried safely in the peoples love; he is
best enshrouded by the great heart OF the
nation ; 4 preserved, indissoluble Union of
sovereign States stands as the grandest
monument and faircst glory-shaft 70 his
memory; his epitaph is best written in
eternal characters Of truth upon the tablets
Of the nations history, and the record of
his fame will burn forever upon the worlds
page. Let Us do him honor in Sacra-
mento by ceremonial; by mutied drum
and draped flag; by the somber trappings
of grief; by the tributes Of oratory and
hymn; by the weird sigh Of the funeral
trumpet and the deep groan of agony from
cannon's mouth; by saddened march; by
cessation from usual vocations and by all
the fitting outward evidences of inward
sorrow and profound grief

C0-EDUCATI0N

The Chicago Tribune IS strongly opposed
to bringing boys and girls together even in
village or rural schools, and declares that
no good argument can be advanced in sup
port of the policy. There is no stimulus"
it says, in their competition, for in reality
there is no competition, except in mischief
and intrigue" This utterance,' says
the Current, from a journal Of such great
influence, Will doubtless provoke much
discussion Some of the most important
educational institutions in the West are
conducted on the Go-educational principle,
and have loug passed the experimental
stage, so that their prosperous existence is
at least pr5ina tacie evidence that co-educa-
ton is not harmful" Bat the Current
knows that all prjma tocie evidence is
one-sided." 1t is susceptible to rebuttal.
As a matter of fact, nothing in educational
evolution passes its experimental stage
As vet, at least, we have not reached per
lection, and he who claims it is rash
indeed. Now, as matter of fact it has not
been shown conclusively anywhere that
the educational progress Of the sexes,
where tutored together, Is the result of
inter-dependency. 1t has never been es-
tablished positively just what progressive
movement on the part of the lad in school
is due to the fact that the miss occupies
an adjacent seat. But it can be shown,
and has been shown, just what amount of
danger there is in the mingling of hedg-
lings in schools, especially in this day,
when fathers and mothers 50 largely leave
the child to find out, as best he or She
may, those things which should be dis
closed to it by the parent. Having been
friendly 70 the co-education Of the sexes,
maturer thought and broader observation
has led US to doubt the theory and suspect
the practice. Given, that the moral and
home restraints and influences were what
they should be, and doubt would he re-
moved. But, as things are" we are
doubling if co-education of the sexes is
essential to the progress Of either

Letter from a Sister City.

EDS. RECORD UNION: For the past few
weeks grain has been rolling into the
warehouses in this vicinity. Our streets are
filed with teams on their way to and from
the Buckeye Mill Company's warehouses
The wheat crop in this vicinity is about
one-half of last year yield. The weather
like that of Sacramento, is extremely
cool.
Socially the Churchill-FIowers nuptial
has been the event of the season. An
irate father and mother, rotten eggs and a
pitchfork on one side; three brothers,
writ of habeas corpus and the Sheriff on
the other, resulted in a largely
wedding at the colored Methodist Church
in this place on Tuesday evening, the Dist
instant.
Marysville Parlor, No. 6. y. S. G. W,

junction with the Sacramento Parlors in

Roses.

THE PROPHET DEAD.

The news Is that Fl Mahdi is dead. As
stunning that it is true, and that the long
armed boat-builder of Dongola was in
reality carried off last month BY small
pox, the question suggests itself, what will
be the effect upon the campaign in the
Soudan? The probabilities are that new
leader will take FL Aahdia place; that
the claim Of the Mahdi to the prophetic
Office will rather be strengthened by his
death, since he has not claimed immunity
from death. His followers will probably
be found as opposed as ever to Egyptian
rule They will continue to dominate
the Soudan. while they defy the dead
prophet and wage war upon his enemies.
The removal of leaders generally has a
demoralizing effect upon organized bodies,
and this probably was true III the case Of
FL Mahdi's troops; but the rebellious
quality will not be thereby diminished
There has been such a stand now made
against Egypt as to convince the tribes Of
the upper Nile of their entire ability to
cope with the Khcdive. II, however,
England and Turkey arrive at such an
understanding-and it is not improbable
as will give the Sultan permission to cross
the Red Sea and conquer the Soudan the
whole face Of the matter viii be changed,
The Turks can, and we believe they alone
can, cope with The Nile tribes, crush their
leaders and subjugate the country.

TIE DGMINION Law.

The Chinese nave been tlocEing into
British Columbia, and from thence coming
over the border into the jurisdiction Of the
United States Practically no guard of
this border has been kept. 1t is long
boundary line, and to patrol it will cost a
great deal of money No provision has
been made to meet this heavy cost, and
hence the Chinese have met with but few
obstacles in their evasion of the Restriction
Act. But the Dominion legislative a'-
thority is now to lay a heavy tax upon
Chinese laborers about to be landed, and
this viii have tendency to check the
influx of the undesirable element. 1t may
be accepted without a doubt that the Ca
nadians will enforce their law, and with
vigor which will make it respected and
feared. The moral effect will be to
strengthen the cause Of restriction in the
United States. One peculiar feature of the
Dominion statute is that il declares against
the Chinese laborers, no matter from what
port they hail. 1t is not the nationality
but the race against which the bars are
put up. It viii be left open to no plea
that the immigrant halls from British
port, and is British subject. If ne is
Chinese by birth, and a coolie laborer, he
must pay the $50 tax before he can be
landed, and even then must submit to reg

WANTED-A PRESIDENT.

The Regents Of the State University are
in hot search of man to ELL the Office of
President of the institution If they seek
for scholarly accomplishment as the chief
requisite, they will not find the right man.
For the successful University President is
he who possesses the broadest executive
ability and understands thoroughly the
theory and practice Of college diScip-
line. OF course, if a man profundity and
great learning can be had, who is at the
same time 4 superior executive officer, an
organizer and disciplinarian, and wise
enough TO know the world and mingle with
it to Just the right extent, he should be
secured. But such men are very, very
rare. If the new President is only a
scholar, he will fail to fill the Office. If
he is so highly cultured as to make him
exclusive and to remove him from the
world, he will not answer. If he is, on
the other hand, 50 strict an executive of
ficer that he can never reach beyond the
University grounds, he will be a failure.
In fact, the successful President must be
one who can adapt himself to California
and its people, who will come to his work
with the broad idea in view that the Uni
versity is State work, and has, or should
have, an intimate relation to all the peo-
pie, and especially the producing classes.
He should not be one-idea man, nor one
with his opinions regarding university
schemes unalterably fixed. He should be

The telegraph system OF Japan is about
to be utilized to give automatic warning Of
earthquakes, thus enabling the people to
vacate their houses in time to avoid dan
ger. BY arranging the seismograph, or
earthquake detector, to complete an cleo
trio circuit on being agitated, this can be
done Japan is visited more frequently
than any other section by earthquakes.
Such continuance will therefore prove Of
much value. But if we suppose China to
be as much in need Of such machinery, we
may be certain Of its non-adoption. China
has the minimum of progressive spirit,
and the full benefits of telegraph, rail
lines and modern discovery Will come to
her only when they are ancient history in
all other places.
