'"The Parker Reading Circle of Young
Ladies'" says the indianapolis World,
"have adopted the practise ofcontribut-
ing their own money to the church and
refusing to accept it from their male
escorts That certainly is move in
the right direction, now let them 90 a
step farther mo pun intended) and
refuse to parade up the church aisle to
deposit their contributions, and show
their clothes, and they will do another
good thing. The good things of this
world generally have woman con-
nected with them in some way, and if
ladies,-God bless them!-will only set
their dear little feet dodWp, ON this OBJ
noxious custom it will soon be relegated
to the rear among the other dead
issues. If Gods promises do not
prompt people who attend church to
contribute to its support in an unosten-
tatlous way, we are of the opinion that
the money raised by the promptings of
the devil to make q display does not do
so much good as if given through pro-
per motives. Let us have no more
gallavanting up to table at church,
meetings. Pass the contribution boxes
and the money of the cheerful givers
whom the Lord loyeth, will invariably
drop into them. God rules, and his
churches will still live. 49,.

The Iowa Republican State Conyen-
ton met in Des Moines last Wednesday
and honored William B. Allison by
by declaring him their unanimous
choice for the presidency. There is
little doubt that the choice of Iowa
will meet with much favor from a large
number of Republicans, but there are
other states to hear from, and then the
convention at Chicago will settle the
matter for all good Republicans.

a Lonely Death

The Nevada Transcript of yesterday has
the following; The dead body of John
Franklin Mcfarland, native of Pennsyl-
vania, aged 66 years and a bachelor, was
found about 10 o'clock yesterday morning
thirty yards from his cabin on Rock creek,
short distance below the North Bloom
field and Nevada City road The old man
had not been seen since last Friday, when
he visited Al. Woods house, and his neigh
bors became solicitous lest harm had be-
fallen him. Yesterday morning q party
started out to search for him. They dis
covered him at the point above mentioned.
He had been chOpping down some trees
and small limb falling across his body
pinned him to the earth. He had evidently
been dead for some time, and the body was
frozen. Appearances indicate that he had
not been instantly killed by the blow, but
had struggled for some time In an effort to
free himself.
The deceased had resided along Green
horn creek and vicinity since early in the
httles. He had mined some and farmed a
part OF the time but has been engaged
mostly in cutting and hauling wood. OF
late years he had not prospered, but stub
bornly refused from first to last TO receive
any favors from others. His brother. Hon.
I. b. Mcfarland, one of the Supreme
Judges of the State, had time and again en-
deavored to prevail upon Frank " to for
sake the lonely life of poverty that he was
leading and accept his hospitality, but all
TO no purpose. j. F. Mcfarland was an
honest man and is well spoken of by those
who knew him.

A Watch Presentation,

Benjamin Cohen, who, for many years,
has been prominent merchant on street,
in this city, has sold out his business inter
ests here, and leaves with his family in a
few days for Los Angeles, where he will
cast his fortunes with those living in the
southern citrus belt. Last evening the
home of Mr.. and Mrs Cohen was invaded
by their many friends. The latter went
prepared to have good time, carrying with
them the choicest of edibles and baskets of
sparkling champagne. The host and host
ess, famous for their entertaining qualities.
made extra efforts 10 make this their fare
well memorable party, and it is needless
to say that in that direction they were quite
successful. When the festivities were at
their hight, Rabbi Taubenhaus stepped into
the center OF the happy gathering and
commanded silence. He then presented to
Mr. Cohen, on behalf of his Sacramento
friends, an elegant gold watch and chain.
The presentation speech was most appro-
PIRATE, and called forth rounds of applause.
Mr. Cohen responded in touching words,
| and when he came to bid farewell to his
many friends and old associations tears
came in his eyes, evidencing the fact that
Sacramento occupies warm place in the
heart of the future citizen of Los Angeles.

Not only is our bride thus turned
into a drudge. often numerically
overworked, but from the day she
gives up her childhood TO the day of
her death-it may be for sixty years
she is secluded, and secs nothing Of
the world outside the walls of her fam
lily inclosure. II should always, there
fore, be borne in mind, when trying
TO realize Indian female life, what q
very important thing the domestic
economy is TO a woman; how largely
the petty affairs Of the household
loom upon her horizon. Her happi-
ness or misery, indeed, entirely depend
on the manner in which the affairs of
the family are conducted. Now, con-
sidering that the female mind has for
centuries been mainly directed TO this
all important matter, ii is not aston
isfing TO find that such questions as
the proper method of eating and drink
ing and of domestic propriety gener-
ally-the intercourse, that is, which is
permissible and right between the vari-
Gus members of the household, male
and female-have long been regulated
with the utmost minuteness.
To Us who roam the world at will,
and whose interests are often fixed far
more outside than inside our homes, it
may seem remarkable that such intini-
tesimal restrictions and numberless
customs as are found in full swing in
an orthodox Hindoo household should
be remembered and carried out with
the exactitude demanded of the
womenkind; but if We consider that
these make up their whole life, and
that they are called upon to pay atten-
ton to nothing else, their capacity for
recollecting when to veil and unveil,
whom to address and avoid, when they
must run away, and when they may
speak, eases to be extraordinary
