GRAVES IN ALGIERS.
Graphic Description of the Burial of 9
Little Child.


Arab women patronlze the couveyances,
ana on Friday they go in crowds to Belcour,
where there is a cemetery and neat little
khouba frequented by the fair sex only on
that day, writes F. A Bridgman, In Hdr-
per'S Udgdzine. A column in the center of
the court supports trellises of grapevine.
Tombstones of marble and slate are numer-
Gus in the court as well as out in the ceme-
terry. At the head of each tomb is a slab of
marble with one or two round holes in
which fower-pots are set, or cups placed
there that the birds may drink from them !;
the natives believe that these birds after
wards fly to Heaven with greeting from
the soul reposlng beneath.
The keeper of this khouba was old and
blind; he passed bis time in sweeping the
carpets and mating, then resting and sing
ing to himself. He would use his handker-
chief to dust the sacred tomb. wash it, and
then dry il in the sun, holding it until it
was dry. To satisfy my curiosity l sent q
a child to translate for me and ask if he
was happy, or what he could desire. He
shook his head: g No, want nothing; am
never e'iauss, and am quite happy
One day ! witnessed here the burial Of a
child The young boy was laid in the grave
wrapped in yard or two Of white cotton: a
smaller hole was dug at the bottom Of the
grave, and served as coffin, being covered
with fat slabs of stone to prevent the earth
from falling directly on the body. Twenty
or thirty men stood round in silence. the
earth was hastily replaced and temporary
stones were placed at the head and feet;
the cushions and pieces OF embroidery in
which the body lay On the donkey which
bore 1t to the final restingplace were put
back on the animal. and the procession
moved silently away. The women and girls
always come afterward to weep on the
grave and place flowers, and especially
branches Of myrtle They often spend the
greater part of three days round a new
grave, sitting on mating and carpets.

THE PONY EXPRESS.
Ben EonidSy's Jockeys and Their DARN,
Unrivaled Rides.


Unrivaled Rides.
I" For years after the completion Of the
Union Pacific railroad the speed averaged
less than twenty miles an hour, and this
gave the iron horse but about eight hours
day advantage over the four-legged
steeds employed by the pony express run
by tho famous Ben Holiday"
The speaker was Richard Berry, a Canon
City Coli miner, says the St Louis Post
Dtspdteh. "a letter would be sent from
Sacramento to Nebraska at the rate of two
hundred and seventy-five miles a day.
When 1t Is remembered that this was done
over an almost desert country, without
good roads, and that two great mountain
chains were crossed on the trip, the feat
appears in its true proportion.
Every thing depended upon the riders,
and Holiday managed to collect a force of
jockeys which has probably never been
equaled in the world. They were all light
men, one hundred and thirty-five pounds
being the outside limit as regards weight.
and were required to possess a thorough
knowledge Of the country over which they
rode.
Four hours was a days work, during
which time four horses were used. In the
mountain regions the stages were each ten
miles long and from, twelve 10 fifteen on the
plains. An hour between the stages was
the time fixed as maximum; although the
distance was generally ridden in less.
when lived in Virginia City my office
was just opposite that of the Pony Express
Company, and 1 used TO watch with greas
interest the adventurous horseman who set
out every day. Four o'clock in the after
noon was the time fixed for the departure
of the mail. At FIVE minutes before that
hour the rider made his appearance. He
was lightly clad, wore English top boots an6
sharp spurs. A saddle of very light weight
was placed on his horse. it being provided
with two sharp hooks ia the cantle upon
which to hang the bag. Bit, reins and
every thing werc made as light as possible.
Holiday being firmly of the opinion, gener-
ally held in racing circles, that the weight
of stable key would win or lose a race.
AT $50 the mail agent appeared at the
door with the little mailbag in his hand.
The rider mounted and the bag was fastened
70 the saddle. The moment the clock struck
the key was turned in the lock, and after
that there was not money enough in Vir-
ginia City TO get letter in that bag.
Away the horseman went at full gallon.
dropping into sharp trot when he struck
the steep upgrade half mile from the city.
and breaking into gallop as soon as be
reached the top, which was not INTERRUPTED
for ten miles. At the end of the first stage
ms remouni was reaesy, au astenda1t trans
ferred the oaS IRON one horse 10 anosher.
ana after cclay of less than ten seconds
the l1aii was again under way.
Just before eight o'clock the same rider
would return to Virginia City, bringing the
return mail, having ridden forty miles and q
little over in the interval This constituted
his days work and for it received ten dol

In the lumber districts Of Northern and
western Minnesota loggers and woodchop-

rattlesnakes, and whenever the person Bit
ten IS unable to get whisky to drink it goes
hard with them. This fact coming to the
ears of an enterprising st. Paul shoe-dealer,
IN order to draw the trade of these workers
In the pine forests, he purchased a big
stock of high-tepped boots and advertised
them as 'sproof against snakes.'' This adj
yertisement had an effect altogether unex-
p,cted, and drew to the merchants door q
class of trade wholly unlocked for. Now
every old red-nosed sot and bum who is
turned loose from the police court or the
work-house works like Trojan to get three
dollars with which to buy pair OF the
boots that are warranted to be @snake-

Curious Snake Story.

Mrs. Sue Dyer, of Dexter, Me-, for several
years was troubled with curious sensations
in her stomach, and sometimes in her
throat. She became convinced that she
had some sort of a living creature in her
stomach, and induced physician to give
her medicine to destroy it. A local news
paper says that after she took the medicine
the movements OF the creature became so
violent that they threw her into convul-
sions that lasted several hours A few
days afterward she was relieved of snake
twenty-one inches long 1t is feared that

The brutality with which newly-married
people are treated BY their jesting friends
is constantly receiving fresh Illustration.
At a recent Boston wedding couple Of
sportiye ushers discovered the train on
which the bridal pair were to leave town,
and what baggage they had. Driving
swiftly to the station they confl6ed their
plan to the baggagcmaster,. and with his
connivance, they afixed to each handle OF
the trunks Of the bride and groom an

Of the astronomical calculations, a. well

in this work, commerds it to all in need
Of valuable and reliable almanac. We
may add that the annual issue Of Ayers

exceeding that of any other work Of the

WEEPING AMONG THE CLERKS.

The Employees in the Revenue Collector.
Office at Cincinnati Given q Surprise.
CINCINNATI, O., December S.-There was
weeping and wailing and crashing of teeth
among the employees of Revenue COLLECTOR
Bishops office when the vouchers for last
months salaries were handed out. The
boys. who had been patiently awaiting their
salaries in anticipation of the gloriou. slices
which would be set aside for Christmas
money, we're shocked on receiving their
vouchers. It appears that many of the men
had failed to pay their political assessments
and the sums had been advanced by Mr..
Bishop. Again, bills against the 'boys"
had been presented by their creditors to the
collector. who, DESTROYS to leave the Office
without cloud, and to have his men do
likewise, had deducted these amounts from
the salaries of the men. The delinQuents of
the Duckworth club were also required to
pay up, some of them two years dues. The
employees visions of Christmas happiness
have materially diminished in consequence
of this spasm of equity on the part of Mr..
Bishop, toward whom they entertain par
ticularly hard feelings because of the time
selected to square up things.

.rHE TARIFF Is A TAX

"THE TARIFF Is A TAX"
The above was what Mr.. Cleveland
and the democratic party said, all
through the late canvass. If there was
anything settled by the election il was
that the above statement was not true.
The republicans all over the country
took the opposite ground, that is that in
the main the tariff was not tax on th
consumer. This was true in Kansas,
with perhaps q single exception. One
of the republican speakers in this state
declared that the tariff was q tax in
some indefinite way. It was q blum
der and mistake, and had it been be-
leved by the people, Cleveland would
have been elected. Even Kansas might
have given him its vote. The people did
not believe it and voted for Harrison.
That the tariff laws need remodeling is
conceded by every one. But they are
20 be remodeled by those who believe
in protection, and not by those who be-
isve in tariff for revenue only. This
is what the late election means snd.this
is conceded by intelligent democrats as
well as by republicans.-F. P. Baker

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.

Now that it is an accomplished fact
that sugar can pro6tably be made Of
sorghum, the next question to be set
tied Is, how to utilize this fact for the
beat interests Of the state. Il costs a
good deal Of money to put in a plant,
and from the shortnees of the time, in
which sorghum has to be worked up, the
machinery lies idle about three fourths
OF the year. During that time the In
tereet on the cost of the plant goes on.
On account Of this eugsr cannot be
made as cheap as it could be if the ma
chinery could be kept at work the year
round. How to remedy this is the ques-
tion. It is certain that money canpot
be raised to put in a plant in every neigh
iborhood. Cannot q remedy for this be
brought about by establishing mills to
grind the cane and make molasees in
every place where cane can be bought to
keep them running through the cane
season. Then let this molasses be
clipped to the mills alrsady established

American Federation of Labor.

American C00er8tIon OF LaOOr.
PITTsBURa, Pa, December S.-The third
annual convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor to be held at st. Louis next
week promises to be one Of the most i'm
portant labor meetings held this year. Es-
pecial interest attaches to the convention,
as the federation has made such rapid strides
within comparatively recent time. Two
years ago, with but few members. it was
alluded to as the infant rival of the Knights
of Labor. To-day it has $4,000 members,
and it is thought nearly 100000 more will be
added at the coming convention by the ad-
mission Of all the organized miners. It was
learned to-day that an important resolution
regarding assessments is likely to be passed.
This will provide that each member be as
sessed 50 cents per week, which wonld in q
short time amount to q large fund. It is
proposed that law be passed that if q
fradis union is in trouble and needs assist
anoe that the general head OF the federation
be appealed to and this fund DO drawn upon
to help such unions.

Very Sensible "Japs. +"

In Japan the old-school physicians are
permitted to wear only wooden swords. This
is gently sarcastic way of expressing the
opinion that they kill enough people with
out using weapons. But the druggist who
introduced DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery into the Empire, carries fine steel
blade. It was found that all who tried this
wonderful remedy for coughs, colds, con-
sumptive tendencies, blood. skin, liver
troubles, were, without exception, greatly
benefited. The Mikado himself is said to
have stoned up" his system by its use, and
tho importer was therefore permitted the
exceptional honor of wearing the sword of
nobility.
