this place, in the same room where the
body of his victim, young Kirkland, lay
while en- route to his former home in
Georgia, Seiph engaged in testing and
laughing with those about him, showing
the utmost want of feeling, and while
smoking his cigar remarked that the knot
was not tied yet. and quoted the old ad-
age, "There's many slip between the
cup and the lip" just before the train
arrived the Sheriff approached him to put
the handouts on, when he extended his
hands with the remark, "All right, boss"
HITCH OVER THE REWARD.
There seems TO be some hitch in regard
10 the reward, an injunction having been
obtained against its payment to Hunter
by Lake City man named Fuller, on the
ground he had Selph c0rnered and spotted
in Hunters house, and that Hunter, who
had been harbOring Selph, seeing that he
would be captured by others, turned the
tables by capturing him himself State
Attorney Blackwell having some appre-
tensions in regard to the safety of the
prisoner was in favor OF having him trans
ferred to the Tallahassee Jail, but il was
finally decided to deliver MIN to the Co
lumbia county authorities, which was
accordingly done.

The PRAYING Piutes.

The Piute Indians of Nevada were in
the habit of paying annual visits to TIL
California coast towns, and some OF
their women married Spaniards at
Santa Cruz, which mad. hem acquaint-
ed with the Christian religion. Through
the influence of the wives of the Span
iards, their kindred, several of their
leading men and women were baptized
each year when the annual trip was
made to the seacoast. Their own relig
ion is not bad one, and from it to any
orthodox Christian religion is but a
short step. Strange as it may appear,
they are praying people-are people
always ready to either pray or fight.
The Princess Sarah Winnemucca' book
is full of instances where her people
were assembled in prayer, and she her
self was wont to pray to the reatSpirit
whenever she got into trouble-prayed
aloud as she fled before her enemies on
a wild cayuse across the deserts. Yer

An Ideal American.

If there is any person in the world
to be envied, writes Oliver Wendell
Holmes in the February atlantic, it is
the one born to an ancient estate, with
a long line of family traditions and the
means in his hands of shaping his
mansions and his domain to his own
taste, without leosing sight of all the
characteristic features which surround
ed his earliest years. The American
is, for the most part, nomad, who
pulls down his house as the Tartar
ulls mp mis- tent-poles. If | had an
ideal life to plan for him. it would be
something like this: His grandfather
should be a wise, scholarly, large
Drained. lare e-hearted country minis
ter. from whom he should inherit the
temperament that predisposes to
cheerfulness and enjoyment, with the
finer instincts which direct life to
noble aims and make it rich with the
qualification of pure and elevated
tastes and the carrying out of plans
for the good of his neighbors and his
fellow creatures. He should. if posi-
BILE, have been born, at any rate have
