The sights OF Porkopoits.

When George Zoilus aud bride of few
hours, leaving indianapolis behind them,
reached Cincinnati it was in expectation
of making close connection with train
for the Farther East (the prudent bride
having declared against tarTying in a
town noted only for food, riot, murder,
and dissecting room horrors), But it 80
happened that their departure from tho
Paris of America was delayed an houI oT
two; and tiring, after awhile, Of the un-
yielding angles Of waiting-roOm benches,
the honeymOOners, in the abstraction of
mutual admiration, forgot where they
were and wandered away from the depot.
Passing up Plum street to Fourth and
thence 10 Race, they had hardly turned
into tho latter thorOughfare when their
dream Of bliss was rudely interrupted by
the exploit Of citizen who had tho ex-
ceeding bad taste to appear In public
entirely devoid Of his clothing Bound
ing out Of stairway just ahead of tho
happy pair, the nude form shot obliquely
across the street with meteoric speed and
disappeared down an alley half block
away,
"oh mercy, mercy Dear George what
was thatf" Rasped the swOOniug bride,
clutching his arm with conyulsivo en-
ergy.
Don't get frightened, lovey," whis.
pered the imperturbable bridegroom,
sOothingly "rhat was some poor devil
of fellow came to life in the dissecting
room"
And tendorly lowering the brides veil
that no more strictly Parisian sights
might profane her shrinking gaze, George
took tho Disconnected lady back 10 tho
depot, Times.

THE WONDERS OF ZUNI LAND.
Col. Stevenson Returns with Five
Car Loads OF Charlottesville Ex-
plores the Spirit World.


plores the Spirit World.
Col. Stevenson, of the bureau of eth
nology, has recently spent several months
in the west. He brought back the largest
collection of objects illustrating the home
life. industries, and religious customs Of
the Pueblo Indians ever made. They arc
intended for exhibition at the New Or
leans exposition, but will also serve the
national museum for exchange with other
scientific institutions.
In addition to the articles In this col.
lection (Which amount to five car loads,
and consist Of pottery, woolon fabrics
weapons, and stone implements) photo
graphs and colored sketches were secured
in great number, illustrating the dances.
altar scenes, games. and burial customs of
the Pueblos, Many curious cave shrines
never before visited by white men were
exp plored-places to which for centuries
the Zunis have been in the habit Of max
lug annual pilgrimages with great cere-
mony to deposit idols, plume-sticks, and
the skulls and bones of sacred animals.
A pack train party visited, under tho
guidance of Zunian priests, q curious salt
lake seventy-fiye miles south of the
Pueblo, whence the supply Of salt used
by the tribe is obtained, and from this
point the travellers rode $50 miles west
to u lake where, according to Zunian be-
lief, tho departed spirits Of the Pueblos
are all transported. To the latter place
the guides could not be induced to go,
though they pointed 1t out from q dis
tance. The lake, which is but few
hundred yards in diameter, is issurroundsd
by curious conical hills, formed by the
deposit of matter from innumerable
springs. The springs are now dry, ex-
cept such as are beneath the surface of
the water, but some Of the cones have
! open caverns into which ono can pene-
trate by covered ways two or three hun
dred feet.
Col. Stevenson says the Zunis, while
still curious people, unlike any other
race in the known world, have changed
considerably since he first made their ac-
quaintance a dozen years ago, by reason
of their more frequent intercourse with
the whites. They are usually in trouble
Of some kind, their unresisting nature
rendering them easy victims. Their
cattle, of which they have had consider.
able hords, are stolen by cowboys. and
they are often cheated by the collusion of
outside parties; a favorite method is for
one man to sell them wagon or some
other piece Of property aud another TO
come soon afterWard and claim Ii as
having been stolen from him.

The Cotton Convention Next Month.
Secretary Frelinghuysen sent invita-
tions to all foreign governments in Octo-
ber to send delegates TO participate in the
universal cotton convention to be held at
the New Orleans Exposition, February
10, under the auspices of the National
Cotton Planters Association of America.
A large number have accepted the invita-
tion, among them being Great Britain,
including India, Egypt, and the English
colonies; Hayti, Italy, the Netherlands,
Norway and Sweden, Hawaii, and Ven
ezuela.
The association has now requested
President Arthur to appoint two dele
gates from every congressional district,
and has also asked the governors of all
the states to appoint two delegates from
every county. United States Commits
sioner Loring will, by request of the as
sociation, address invitations to all the
agricultural societies of the United
States to send delegates, and Col.
G. Ii. Parker, of New Orleans,
secretary of the National Cotton EH-
change, will endeavor to have delegates
sent by all American and foreign ex-
changes. This is to be the nucleus for
universal cotton convention to be par
ticipated in by representative men from
all parts of the world. While 1t is to be
called a cotton convention it will include
all branches of agriculture. 1t is pre-
dicted that the convention will have
5000 delegates.
