Mummified Bodies on a Battlefield.

Captain Thompson of the schoone:
Challenger has Just returned to San
Francisco, from long cruise in the
South Sea and along the South American
coast. He had in his possession little
black earthenware jar which was taken,
with valuable jewelry, from the tomb OF
one of the Peruvian Incas, near Pisagua.
No tinted pottery is made by modern
Peruvians, and it is estimated that this
captain also secured one of the Inca's
teeth. He visited the battlefield of
Tarapaca, where the Chilians and Peru.
vians met November II, 1879, and the
Peruvians, after losing 1000 men, were
forced to retreat, leaving their dead un-
buried.

side of the battle-ground there is not a

no wild animals, and the bodies remained
undisturbed by them. The soil too, is
strongly impregnated with nitrate OF

An Engagement Recalls Tragedy.

The Hatzfeldt- Huntington engagement
recalls romantic story of about ten years
ago, in which Miss Clara Huntington,
then in the very first loveliness of maid
cnhood, was innocently involved IN
tragedy that shocked the entire commu-
nitv of San Francisco. Miss Huntington
was at that time beautiful girl, with all
the simple coquetry of her age and her
recent emancipation from the school-room.
She was surrounded by numbers of adj
mirers, among whom were certain Mr..
DAILY, of, if | am not mistaken, New
Haven-a blond, tall, ,distinguished-look-
ing. frank and direct in manner, and
man most attractive in society; and Mr.
Hanks, who was said to be mining eX-
merit who had made his money in Peru
He. too, was very handsome, although OF
an entirely different type from DAILY.
Both men were infatuated with Miss
Huntington, and in justice to every one,
| may say that Miss Huntington's money
was not by any means an important in
Auence with either of them.
One night the two men called upon
Miss Huntington in the Palace Hotel,
and on leaving quarreled hotly about the
question of precedence in wooing the
heiress. In the excitement of the argu-
ment DAILY struck Hanks, knocking him
down on the marble flooring, just in
front of the hotel dining room. Hanks
swore vengeance for the blow, and men
who witnessed the alteration, and knew
Hanks's disposition, warned Daily to go
armed. DAILY, however, scotfed at the
proposition, and asserted that he never
had gone armed and never would. On
the following morning the city was cleo
trifed by the story of tragic shooting
affair, involving the two men whose
quarrel had already become known.
There were dozen eye-witnesses to re-
late the dreadful story of Hanks's shot
from behind sign board, of Days fall,
and his dying words; ''4ou coward y
and there were murmurs loud and deep
of Lynch law.
Hanks was Immediately imprisoned,
and all the facilities for making his exit
from this world being left within his
reach by the curious legerete, which was
manifest at that time in the prison regu-
ations, he secured Springfield rifle from
a stack standing in the corridor where he
was allowed to exercise, seated himself,
placed the muzzle in his mouth, pulled
the trigger with his toe, and entered into
mystery. The newspaper accounts OF the
affair were most curiously worded, and it
is scarcely necessary to say Miss Hunt.
ington's name did not figure in them.
Utterly blameess as she was in the affair,
the sensitive girl was overwhelmed by
the event, and it was long before she re-
covered from its shock. - T0ioR Topics.

Good Noses Are Scarce.

OF all the features of the human face
the nasal organ, being the most proml-
nelft, stands supreme as revealer of
character. Its form gives the greatest
expression and individuality to the facial
ineaments. and even tine voice is affected
and toned by this important member.
The individual whom nature has blessed
with really well formed and perfect
nose should indeed be grateful, and on an
average barely two per cent. of the
ordinary population can claim to possess
a perfectly shaped nasal organ.

SONG OF THE FARMERS WIFE.

Monday is for washing,
Tuesday is for ironing,
Wednesday is for mending and putting
clothes away;
Thursday is for churning,
Friday is for baking
Saturday is always the grand cleaning day
But then there is the breakfast,
And the dinner, and the tea to get;
Besides. there is the milking to be done each
night and morn;
The hens TO feed, the knitting,
The sweeping and the bread to set,
And the carding of the wool when the pretty
sheep are shorn.
There is never any ending
But always work beginning,
From early Monday morning till Saturday
at night;
But oftentimes find,
If merry song Pm singing,
My heart is gay and happy, then all my
work seems light.
-Godeys Ladies' Book.

Wondering at his language, but con
siderablv reassured, II followed him to his
room, and sat down.
"Now," said Holt, '"the thing you saw
tonight" q shuddered,again as he spoke
''and on two other occasions is easily ex-
planned. James Carr and his wife, who
have lived in that apartment off and on
for eight months, are known to many
theatre-goers here and elsewhere as
Arthur Leroy, and Mile. Picard. What
you saw tonight was rehearsal of an
incident in play which is to be pro-

with dagger. The play was produced
in the provinces last winter, and at one
or two watering places in the summer
You've seen three rehearsals."
"Holt, don't believe you, )" cried, as
it flashed upon me that my old illness was
returning, and that Holt had taken this
method of diverting my mind from the
threatened calamity.
Holt promptly went over the whole
occurrence and his description differed
in no important feature from my own
vision.
On the next day I went round to my
doctor, laughed at his learning, and ac
cepted his apologies for the discredit he
had cast upon my visual sanity.
That evening at dinner while reading
an afternoon paper | came upon con
spicuous heading in these words. "Slain
at Rehearsal" | started, read on, and
discovered that James Carr, alias Arthur
Leroy, had killed his wife the night be-
fore in their rooms in C street.
Then knew that Holt and l had ac
tually seen the crime committed.
According to the newspapers account,
Carr, on being arrested, had confessed
the homicide and pleaded selfdefense.
He had been married five years, but he
and his wife had always lived cat t-and-
dog life After their rehearsal of the
night before, she had called up an old
grievance, and finally, in a fit of anger
attacked him with pair of scissors, the
very weapon she was to have used in the
mimic scene on the approaching ''tirst
night" He had defended himself with
the dagger just employed at rehearsal,
and was Mortified to find that he had
slain her.
Nobody quite believed Carr's story &.
first, but the testimony of Holt and my
self saved his neck.

A Lively Debate On the Tspis In the Sen

WASHINGTON, D. c., January ~
This week promises to be one of debate IN
the Senate. Rapid progress was made last
week with the appropriation bills, leaving
only the consular and diplomatic bill pend.
ing of the four that were reported. This
will come up tomorrow and the amend
ments proposed by the foreign relations
committee providing means TO defend and
protect American interests in Samoa will
form the subject OF lively discussion.
1t may bs, however, that these amend
ments will be considered in secret session.
On Tuesday, under an order Of the Sen
ate made some days ago, the British extra
dition treaty is to he discussed in execu-
tive session.
Some progress was made last week with
Mr. Sherman's antitrust bill, as amended
by the Finance Committee, and the author
will endesvOr to press q vote this week.
Then Mr.. Frye is expected TO call up the
Pacific Railroad Funding bill and make q
