Big, had Indiana,

Reports have. reached the oflc ials OF
Sonora, Mex, that the Serbs Indians, who
inhabit the Tbwren islands in the Gulf OF
California, have recently crossed the
straits to the main land in Sonora. They
are raiding ranches and computing other
depredations, striking terror to the peace
able Mexican settlers. While the country
thereabouts ia sparsely settled there are h
sufficient number OF ranches in that
section to afford them abundant oppor-
tunities for indulging in the destruction OF
life and property. The Serbs number
about three hundred. and are one of the
tallest races on the continent, nearly all
measuring six feet four inches. It is claim
ed by some that they are cannibals. They
are the only Indians in North America
using poisoned. arrows, and they prefer
raw, decomposed meat to meat that has
been cooked, and, in fact, live entirely
upon raw food. In stature, looks,
language and manners, they are. diff.
ferent from any of the Indians in America.
A few years ago . Turk visited their island,
and he claimed they spoke his tongue. In.
appearance they resemble the Malayaps.
They have never before been known to
leave the island upon d~epredating excur.
eions, and the present raid In a complete

tions. Acting Governor Carrot will send
troops to check their advances.

The Gould Sensation.

The sensation which Jay Gould sprung
is still a~gitatiug New York, and the papers

went to him on three different occasions
and offered to fix the matter with
the district attorney. Before the matter
had been laid before the grand Jury Mr..
Andrews asked for $4,000 to stop the
proceedings. After tho presentation Of the
case Mr.. Andrews raised the ante to
100000 but Mr.. Gould, Jr., says he de-
clined to consider any OF these PROPOSE

the threat that the attorney general
should be called in as the next resort in
pushing the Gould.Sage trust inquiry, Mr..
Gould said blandly:
I would go further than that myself, and
would suggest legislative inquiry into this

Rivers and

The house committee on rivers and har-
bors has completed it's work, and has pre-.
sented to the house a bill which proposes to
appropriate $19,432, 1888 for river and har-
Dor improvements. This is the largest bill
ever reported in any congress-. The aggre.
gate will, ofcourse, attract much attention.
and will excite apprehension OF a veto. The
last river and harbor bill was vetoed by the
president largely because of the magnitude
OF the appropriation, yet the total OF that
bill was very much less than the footings
OF the present bill. 1t will be claimed for
the bill that the United States is a very
large country, that it's internal commerce
il rapidly increasing, and that the de.
mands for internal improvements keep
pace with the Development OF the country;
that every item in this long bill has been
considered with the utmost care,
and that the percentage OF the amount
appropriated to the amount OF the esti.
mates which have been made by the engi.
neer officers OF the government 10 very
small. The final allowance made by the
committee Is, in fact. less than hall the to.
tai amounts called for by the estimates.
The total bill is $19.432, 1888; the amount
OF the estimates is 4o,o41. 9es, and the
engineer officers are considered to be
among the most efficient, skilliull and con-
scientious officers in the governments
service. OF the sum agreed upon,
the northwest gets the following sum:

legend Of Revolutionary times cor

and once q year 'the clock acts

This is a true bill, you understand,

Pennsylvania tavern more than once.
Only the legend doesn't do the
haunt ed clock full justice. Not only
once a year, on the anniversary ofthe
drummer's death, does it ''act
strangely" 1t acts strangely all the
time. 1t chokes and gurgles in CHASTITY
gutturals for about FIVE minutes before
it strikes, and heard in the dead OF
night. these awful sounds petrify the
terrified guest with orror. forhe firmly
believes that the man in the next
room is hanging himself with his sus-
penders. When the haunted clock
strikes II, it starts of with ponder
Gus solemnity and strikes 5. Then it
stops, groans twice, gurgles, makes q
mutfled noise with something that
needs oiling, strikes /, wheezes and
goes to sleep. About 11:3O however,
it wakes up, grunts, sneezes twice,
strikes the other four, and, with
q hollow groan goes on it's limp.
ing with tick tocks, OF alter
mating loudness and softness, some
times falling asleep and missing two
Or three ticks altogether, always wax

loudly for the next minute. And then,
along in the afternoon, when you are
anxious to 60 to the station to catch
the 5 o'clock train, the hour hand
points to 3 and the minute hand is at
S and the clock strikes 8, you know it
is a quarter past six and your train
has gone more than an hour ago.
There is also a calendar on this clock,
showing the days of the week and the
months, but it is stuck fast between
Monday and Tuesday at the 31st OF
February, and there is a hole in the
dial where a moon shows itsef in the
full dark all the year round. Oh, it is
a sure 'nough' haunted clock. I've
seen it many a time, and have missed
more trains by it than there are
spooks III Virginia Or "thengs'' in In

''sets" that clock. The landlord
looks at it about once or twice q week
and sets it by asilver watch thatlooks
like a slung shot. Then by and by
the Oldest boy ONE along and sets
it by the school bell. which rings about
nine o'clock. Then the p~orter-hostler
comes along and sets it ''by the SUM-"
And, finally, the landlady comes, in

clock rcmarklng, "None ofthese things

Social Etiquette.

Good manners are not SO common
as to be of no weight in society. like
spelling or good English. says Har-
per's Bazaar. One may be as rich as
the Rothschilds, one may be highly
educated and not possess them, or
~ may have them in q degree.
Good manners are more serviceable
than apassport,t than bank account,
or a lineage. They make friends for
us; they are more potent than elo-
quence and genius without them.
They undoubtedly spring from a kind
heart, and are the dictates OF good
humor. They are not something to be
learned from fashion news and books
OF etiquette; they are not imported or
borrowed. The good hammered per.
son does not tell us our failings, does
not lecture US; he does rot merely
wear his manners because they are
becoming or polite, but because he
a no more exist without them than
without air.
There are those who may be said to
have n positive genius for good man.
ners as another has for conversation;
they know how to sway others by
them. Polite people. have an influence
that is not due to their possessions,
to their Tearing or their wit. There
are those who believe that good
manners are only another name
for good clothes and good homes with
the modern co~nveniences and luxuries,
that they are talkatlve and emphatic
and snowy; but we do not always find
that the best hammered people live in
palaces.
Good manners are something that
nobody can afford to do without, no
matter how rich or powerful or intel
lectual he may be. They add to beau
ty, they detract from personal ugli-
ness, they cast 8, glamor over defects,
they ameliorate the round shoulders
of this person and the squint OF the
other; where they exist, imagination
supplies DEFICIENCIES of every other at
traction. They are contagious, like
the measles, but they must be mora
than skin deep to be of any service.
