A precious carpet has been destroyed in San
Francisco. 1t had covered the floor of one of
the rooms of the mint, and had been used for
five years. The dust of tho precious metals
used in the coinage had during that period daily
fallen upon it, and when it was taken up the
authorities had it cut in small pieces and burned
in pans. The ashes were subjected to the
process employed with mining dust, and they
realized s., 500. Thus the carpet, after years OF
wear, was more precious than when 1t was new.

Apropos of the cereueil per fectionne a writer says: eff it had been known in Neyerbeer's time he need not have asked his friends on his deathbed, as he did, to bury him with pistol in each hand'' Miss Helen Ludlow makes an interesting reply to the charge that when the Indian students at Hampton return to their tribes they ''don the blanketn and resume the cus- toms of their people. Miss Ludlow gives an account of what she has herself seen in visits to five Indian reservations of the upper Mis- souri during the past summer. There are now living on these reservations seventy three Indian students, thirty young women and girls, ,forty-three young men and boys who have returned from the Hampton school within five years. Forty-one of these she has seen herself and talked with them ire quently, and of ssall she has heard particular ly from agents, missionaries, teachers, en- ployers and acquaintances. Only four of

 Mir. Fred w. Nye, the genial editor of the Omaha Republican, has been in the city for two days on peculiar errand He has been trying to engage city editor for his paper. The sole qualification MT. Nye requires in his city editors is sobriety. There was a time when he required brains, but that time is past. He only looks for an editor who can look upon the cup that cheers and likewise inebriates, and yet be in condition to hustle for news and write it up when he gets it. According to MT. Nye there is something pe- culiarly intoxicating either in employment on IIef ef,uuIIcan OmEna Deef. TOT the last two years the Republican has been edited by procession of inebriates passing through the office. Man after man was tried with no success. The new man would take hold at noon, get his instructions and the lay of the land, and no more would be seen of him until B. m. the next day gloriously ob livious to everything. This is MT. Nye's side of the question, but journalist who has just returned from brief sojourn upon the Republican tells a different tale. He says that he landed there a few months ago, and was engaged as city editor. He asked what time the staff reported for duty, and found to his horror that he was the staff, and that he was required to get up each day the bagatelle of something like sixteen to twenty four columns of matter. 'sYou will report,'' said Mir. Nye, 'at half past-seven o'clock to- morrow morning. The Amalgamated society of baggage smashers holds it's annual con vention. It will last till noon Cut it short. Don't make more than three columns of it. At noon the Methodist ministers hold g meet ing in the First Methodist church. Do 'sm up in about column. You know how to do board of trade and the markets of course the usual amount. Then at 3 o'clock take a run around the hotels and bring in a couple of columns of interviews and the personals. There's meeting of merchants at Boyd's Opera House at 6, and the police stations and hospitals will have to be covered. Dash off 8 column of pungent editorial squibs for the fourth page, and drop into the theaters at night. When you get back at Ii o'clock you can set up the markets and read proof till press time. Take hand at the press and make yourself useful folding papers. The circulator will give you route to deliver in the river district. That will keep you till o'clock"
 "But," said the editor, 1T won't have any thing to do for whole half hour"
 ''Lemme see,'' said Nye. 'FThat's so. Well, you can wash rollers during that time.''
