A Strange Coincidence.

The truthfulness of the old saying
that misfortunes never come singly is
sustained, says The San Francisco
Chronicle, in the strange fatality fol-
lowing John and Maurice Nugent,
brothers, who reside in Oakland. Both
men are candy-makers by trade. and
Maurice had been employed in San
Jose for the past six months. On
Wednesday afternoon he determined to
come to this city, and as he was board
ing the train in the San Jose depot he
slipped and fell. Before he could re-
cover himself his left arm was so badly
crushed by the wheels of the moving
train that it was found necessary to
amputate it near the shoulder.
His brother Jonn Nugent, was in San
Jose in search of employment at the
time, but he did not hear of the acci-
dent which had befallen Maurice. He
was without money, and, being desirous
of returning to this city, he started out
to walk. He reached Menlo Park early
yesterday morning as the freight train
was passing, and he boarded the cars
with the intention of stealing a ride.
He rode as far as San Mateo, and while
endeavoring to climb to the roof of one
the cars he lost his balance and fell to
the track, the wheels of the cars pass
ing over his left arm, above the elbow.
His cries for help attracted the atten-
ton of brakeman, who had the train
stopped, and the unfortunate man was
picked up and brought to this city. He
was afterward removed to the receiving
hospital and the injured member was
amputated near the shoulder joint. His
left leg was also badly lacerated and a
number of stitches were taken in the
flesh to draw it together.

Life Among the Nez Perces.

The indians of this coast, says The
San Francisco Examiner, have nearly
all discarded their peculiar costume,
and wear old and new civilized dress
in a decidedly Indian fashion. Among
the Nez Perces is seldom seen an entire
Indian costume. Sometimes, however,
one is forcibly reminded of the parody:
Lo! the poor Indian, whose untutored mind,
Wears all his clothes in front and none behind.
These Indians live in tents made Of
poles and covered with cloth or buffalo
robes. The tents are left open at the
top, and, as the fire is built in the CEN
ter, the smoke naturally goes out at
the top. At night each individual wraps
his blanket around him and lies down
on the bare ground, without any other
covering The bucks are fond of
gambling and understand the value of
bob-tailed flush. They know how to
play lone hand. too, and if there is
ever a scrapping-m match over the pot.
there is good Indian for bseakfast al
ready carved.
A bird s-eye view of their cncamp-
ment reveals some curious phases. In
the largest tent every night witnesses a
high jinks which is made hideous by the
diScor,lant notes of several tam -tams. Il
peculiar flute with hoarse whistle,
accompanied by the women, who crone
through their closed teeth. The dances
and athletic exercises are the same as
the powwow and sun dance of the
Sioux. Not the least interesting and
picturesque are the children and dogs,
which abound in great numbers. The
little infant is firmly tied to u board
with strap, which the mother puts
across her forehead when she is walk
ing about. A little buckskin string
tackled on one corner with knot for
each month tells how old the little fc'-
low is, and the presence of beads and
a strip of oilcloth for sanitary purposes
reveals the sex. 1t is amusing to
watch the older children play house
with rag dolls and dogs substituted for
horses. In their childish way they
mimic the life of their chiefs, and they
are as quaint and ugly as they are
mirthless. The dogs contribute their
share to the general fun and patiently
submit to being ridden and made to
carry all sorts of bundles. The children
have no compunctlon about raiding
one another's play-houses. and many
laughable things occur during tho
melee which follows. The children
| receive but little attention from their
| parents, and are covered with vermin.
They are all bow-legged because they
are not taken from the board until they
can walk, and a great portion of that
time their hands and feet are pinioned.
They are remarkably quiet, seldom if
ever crying. Less than half of them
reach maturity.

For Newspaper Thieves.

The new postal law recently put into
force by the postoffice department
makes the taking of a newspaper and
refusing to pay for the same theft,
and anybody guilty of such an action
is liable to criminal proceedings the
same as if he had stolen goods to the
amount of the subscription. Hereafter
it will not be considered very shrewd
scheme to take newspaper for year
and then inform the publisher that you
never ordered it.-Erchange.
How about sending paper without
having been ordered to do so, and then
compelling the subscriber (?) to pay
for itp That is what might be termed
pretty nearly akin to blackmail,
according to our notion. And yet
there are scores of publishers who do
that thing from year to year. Such a
law is simply infamous and ought to be
wiped out. On the same theory, the
farmer who sends peck of apples OF
a choice watermelon to his county
paper should sue for the amount the
stuff was worth, or brand the editor
who received them as thief in case he
refused payment. There is only one
correct way to subscribe for news.
paper and that is to pay for it for such
time as you need it, and if the pub.
fishers send it after the time paid for
they should be the losers.-KanSas City

THE FIRST CIGAR.
A Boys Feelings Subsequent to His
First Maiden Encounter with
Nicotine.

Nicotine.
The first smoke don't last as long as
a case of sea-sickness, but while it does
asst it is original and unique. The new
smoker is no Judge of cigars. He in
variably takes strong one. He goes
a good deal by the box in which he finds
The cigars. If cigar has a fancy pa
per ring about it he will take it at any
price. If he lives he will know better
Out on the shady side of the barn he
takes himself and his cigar. He is
afraid that some one will modest him.
He lights the cigar, and holding it in
the most awkward manner between his
fingers, puffs and expectorates. 1t
seems manly to smoke, and he pictures
himself narrating to his chums how
well he handled himself and his first
cigar. The sensation is not at all
pleasant. He allows longer time
to elapse between his puffs, and
wishes that the cigar would burn
up more rapidly. The mouth has
peculiar taste, which frequent expec-
torations will not remove. The old ia
miliar fence is turning green. He sees
everything circle around him. He is
, better after while. Flat on his back
on the greensward, he looks up at the
blue heavens overhead and watches the
tleecy white clouds float in many direc-
tions. Dinner has no attractions for
him. Candy would not tempt him to
get up. He hears his name called by
an elder brother. 1t sounds way off, as
if in a dream. Nearer and nearer it
comes, and finally the owner of the
voice comes around the corner of the
barn. He guesses the cause, for he
sees the half-smoked cigar. If he is
real good boy he will tell his mother,
and the young smoker will be taken to
the house and lectured for the rest of
his boyhood days. If he is a real bad
boy, one whose badness insures his liv-
ing to manhood's estate, he will get his
sick brother up on the hay in the old
barn, and will tell tib at the table to
excuse his absence. His kindness will
cost the inexperienced smoker later on
many marbles, much candy. and the
best of every thing. He will threaten
to inform their parents many times of
the first smoke, and will scare the
smoker into many scrapes and much
trouble. Paul Globe.

Condensed General News.
The President vetoes More Private Pen
sion Bills.

The president has vetoed four private
pension bills granting pensions to Dudley
b. Branch, Louis Melcher, Edward Ayers
and James c. Chandler. The president
gives his reasons at length in respect TO
each case. In the case OF Branch he says:
l am convinced that the rejection OF
this claim by the pension bureau was
correct, and think its action should
not be reversed. In the commit
tees report the statement is found that
the beneficiary named in the bill WAS in
two different hospitals during 1868, and
yet it is not claimed that the history OF
his hospital treatment furnishes any proof
OF the injury upon which his claim Is now
based.
The president withholds his approval in
Melchers case upon the ground that he
finds nothing in his examination OF the
facts connected with it which i'm
peaches the value OF the surgeons 5
certificate upon which the ad-
verse action 1.-THE pension bureau was pred
icated. In vetoing the Ayers bill the pres
ident says:
1t appears that the claimant served i'll
his regiment two years and nearly eight
months after the alleged injury until he
was mustered out. 1t is represented to me
by a report from the pension bureau, that
after his alleged wound and in May or
June, 1868 the claimant deserted and in
July of that year was arrested in Indiana
and returned to duty without trial.
Ii this report is correct, the party
now seeking a pension at the
hands OF the government for dis
ability incurred in the service seems to
have been capable OF considera BILE physical
exertion. though not very creditable, with
in u few weeks after he claims to have re-
ceived the injury upon which his applica-
ton is based.
INCONSISTENCY POINTED OUT.
In the last case, that OF Chandler, the
president, after reviewing the various ap-
plications made for a pension and their re-
lection, says:
There still remained an appeal to con-
gress, and probably there were not want
ing those who found their interests
in advising such an appeal and
who had at hand congressional precedents
which promised favorable result. That
the parties interested did not miscalculate
the chances of success is demonstrated by
the bill now before me, which, in direct op-
position to the action of the pension
bureau, grants pension to man who,
though discharged from enlistment for a
certain alleged disability, made two ap-
plications for a pension based upon
two distinct causes, both claimed to
exist within two months prior to
such discharge, and both different from
the one upon which he accepted
the same and Notwithstanding the fact
that the proposed bene ticiary, after all
the disabilities had occurred, passed an ex-
animation as to his physical fitness for re-
enlistment, actually did re-enlist and serv-
ed till finally mustered out at the close OF
the war. Ii any money is to be given this
man from the public treasury, it should
not be done under the guise OF pension.

Change In Minnesota Customs District.

Washington Special-The measure pre-.
pared in the treasury department and in.
troduced in the house to fix the salaries oi
customs officials and to consolidate GUS
toms districts makes but a single provision
for Minnesota, as follows:
Districts of Minnesota; One collector,
$4,000; and St. Paul shall be the principal
port OF entry in said district.
Two changes would result should this be-
come law. First, Duluth would disap-
pear as a customs district and the district
OF Minnesota would move its headquarters
from St. Vincent to st. Paul. 1t is a
question whether the compensation fixed
to the office OF collector is OF sufficient
proportions for the new district, as COM
pared with allowances in other localities,
which can be seen from the measure
OF compensation hitherto allowed
under the combined system oi
salary, fees, and allowances. Dur
ing the last year the collector at St. Vim
cent received total allowance OF 81, $685.
20, and the collector at Duluth got ST.
O5O.5O, or total for the customs districts
in the state OF So, 715.7O. Indeed under
former bill prepared by the department
the collector at st. Vincent alone was al
lowed 50, 500, and the Duluth official ST..
200. The principal cause for the closing
of the Duluth district by the bill is it's fail,
ure to pay expenses. In the last year the
receipts amounted to only $4,726.91,
while the expenses reached $5,71O.19,
making the cost to collect one dollar Of
revenue, $1.2O. Under the original plan
of fixed salaries mentioned above, it was
contemplated to retain Duluth as a cas-
toms district and by reducing expenses,
to bring it to a self-sustaining basis. This
plan proposed five officials at that city, in
volving an expenditure OF 50, $50, thereby
making it place OF revenue instead OF a
drain upon the customs service.
