The San Francisco Bulletin says
. great many people who came
overland when cheap fares ruled,
have been caught by the increase
in rates, and are unable to return
home. There are also many who
have been sent here, it is believed,
by those who wish to get rid of
them, and who have landed here
with few cents only in their
pockets. A considerable number
of newcomers have found it diff
cul, to live, and many have been
forced to beg.

4 RELIES BAD BREEDING.

Poli,eness has been defined by
the highest authorities on good
breeding, as based upon consldera-
ton for the feelings of others.
Stumbling has become one OF the
amusements of fashionable society
and the ability to snub well, IS con-
sidered by society as one OF the GER
tain signs of social distinction,
whereas it is a certain mark Of vul-
garity and low breeding.
Recently at charity bail IN New
York a noted belle Of the upper
ernst came face to face with a
faultlessly dressed gentleman
whom she recognized as the person
of whom she purchased her French
shoes.
Brought thus IN contact with a
LADY whom he knew quite well
through business transactions he
fumbled in his pocket for his pen
ell presumably 10 ask her to dance
and place her name on his pro
gramme.
The belle however fanked him
by advancing and SAYING;
Il presume You wish 70 collect
your bill. it seems rather urgent
TO present it here. but | viii call
papa and have it settled"
The New York correspondent of
the Sacramento Bee gioats upon
the incident as illustrating the
ready wit and brilliancy of the belle
and relates 1t with keen relis h.
The CORES pondent does not seem
10 discern in it however the bad
breeding Of the belle, Any woman
who cutters ball room places her,
self for the time being, upon a
social equality with all present, IL
she fears meeting those whom she
does not consider her equal she has
the privilege Of remaining away.
The charity balls in New York
bring to the dancing floor the best
people of the city who mingle freely
with the middle class believing that
charity covers multitude OF
social defects and all appear on a
common level.
The woman of whom the incident
is related. merely saw a man APP
preaching her with his finger In
his vest pocket and administered
an uncalled for and vulscr snub.
How would she feel if he ascer-
tanned that he never meant to ask
her to dance but was looking Tor
some other person The New
Workers consider it the thing to ape
the manners Of the English who
draw sharp line between those
Who live off their relatives and are
non producers and those who earn
an honest living by selling mer-
chandise. It is well accepted
rule Of etiquett that no lady will
publicly snub any one. Stumbling
is the weapon Of female snobs and
exposes their origin just as surely
as long ears indicate the ancestry
of the mule

Gen. Beauregard is still trying to
explain why it was that he lost the
battle of Shiloh. People of the pres
ent age are not much interested IN
the battle of Shiloh. Gen. Beaure-
gard would be better employed by
giving us a history of his present con-
nection with the Louisiana Lottery.
He was called to account for this
connection only few days ago, and
his explanation was not satisfactory.
The facts are about as follows: The
managers of the Lottery in their
monthly statement of drawing an
nounced that the capital prize had
been drawn at "a point they named.
This was found TO be untrue and
Gen. Beauregard, when his attention
was called to the matter publicly, con-
tented himself with saying he was re-
sponsible only for the correctness OF
the drawing, and not for the state
ments appended to the "ofticial draw
ingsp and which are designed to show
the places where lucky tickets are
held, This is decidedly too thin, and
needs IL still further explanation.--

NATIVE HOUSES OF ALASKA.
A Here Circular Mound, Lighted from
the Aps1 of the Roof.

Prom CA1nBsr's Journal
The houses OF the natives are much the
same in all divisions Of Alaska. The
dwellings are thus described: A circular
mound Of earth, grass growing and lit
tered with all sorts Of household utensils,
a small spiral coil Of smoke rising from
the apex, dogs crouohing, children climb
ing up or rolling down, stray morsels OF
food left from one meal TO the other, and
soft mixture Of mud and offal surround
ing 1t all. The entrance TO this house
IS a low, irregular square aperture,
through which the inmate stOOps,
and passes down a foot or two
through short low passage on TO the
earthen floor within. The interior gener-
ally consists Of an acknowledgement
square circle, - or 10 feet in diameter,
receiving its only light from without
through the small smoke-opening at the
apex OF the roof, which rises tent-like
from the floor. The fireplace is directly
under this opening. Rude beds or pouches
OF skin and grass mats are laid, slightly
raised above the floor, upon clumsy frames
made Of sticks and saplings or rough
hewn planks, and sometimes on little ele-
VatioRs built up OF peat or sod. Some
times a small hallway with bullying sides
70 erected over the entrance, where, by
this expansion room is afforded for the
keeping Of utensils and water vessels. and
as shelter for dogs. Immediately adj
joining most of these houses will be
found small summer kitchen. n
rude wooden frame, walled in and COW
cred over with s0ds, with an opening AL
the top 70 give vent to the smoke. These
are entirely above ground. rarely over
bye or six feet in diameter. and are III
tered with Nth and ohal Of all kinds
serving also as refuge for the dogs i'm
tnclement weather In the interior re.
gi0ps, where both fuel and building ma.
terlal are more abundant. the houses
