A legal adjustment of differences was
sometimes very difficult for man to
obtain in the early days Of California
as it is elsewhere at times-owing to 10
cal peculiar ties.
Two Mexicans who had been lucky
in digging, disputed the possession of an
aged mule. not worth her keeping. The
case was brought before learned mag
istrate named Muggins. who, before
listening to the trial, demanded that
each claimant should pay three ounces
of gold-dust for "cOst OF court"
Each party was then allowed to state his
side of the case in his native language. of
which Judge Muggins did not under
staIN o word. This done, his Honor
informed them, through an interpreter,
that the case must be decided by jury.
Two ounces more having leen paid
to meet tn 8 ''extra expense twelve
good men and true we're summoned.
These persons decided that the evidence
was IS conflicting that neither man
owned the mule, but that, in strict JUS
tice, the pla ntiff and defendant should
draw lots for the bony beast. The fore
man furnished the str vs. without extra
cost, and mid breathless silence. the
Mexicans drew lots.
The die was cast, and the case decided,
but when the winner went proudly forth

MORAvIAN CUSTOMS.

Installations Ieculiar to the Prosperous
Settlements Of the Herrnhuters.
The Moravians have settlements not
only in Germany, but also in England.
Switzerland and America. They hold
nearly all the doctrines of Luther. Their
largest settlement, called Herrnhut, is in
Saxony, and the Moravians in many
parts of Germany bear the name of
Herrnhuter. In each community there
are two houses set apart-One for the
unmarried men, called the brothers
house." and the other for all unmarried
sisters or widows who wish to enter
them. The Moravians can not marry
without the consent of the elders of
,he,r church, and in some cases the
bridegroom has been chosen for the
bride. They seldom marry outside the
community, and their engagements are
nearly as solemn as the marriage. The
weddings are very simple, the sister
wear ng but black dress with a white
lace handkerchief, and her pretty cap
with its pale pink ribbon, which is
changed afterwards for pale blue rib
OOu VIZ SViOhiOuy 10 uAISuCus
There are always two rings at wedding
in Germany, as there q married man al
ways wears one. which he receives from
his bride in exchange for his. The
Moravians wear no Grape nor mourning
for their dead. and they speak of them
as blessed. and Of death as ..gOing
home" They call the graveyard ''God's
acre." and they take the greatest care
of their graves. But there also is the
d vision. as in the church, for the men
are buried ON one side of the cemetery
and the women on the other. The
Moravians are all we'll educated. and
the poorer brethren amongst them en-
joy the same privileges in their excel
lent schools rs do the cher brethren.
Life amongst the limited Brethren" is
simple and unartificial. love to God and
man be ng their first principle; and
many who have lived amongst them
bear in the hearts loving memory of
their goodness, and of Ae pretty little

Mr. Eben Plympton, her leading man, is

Nelson made a high position for himself.
He was selected by Edwin Booth as the best

frequently divided honors with our leading
tragedian.
Miss Bijou Heron, leading lady of the
