Now that the democratic plan OF
nominating has been determined upon
it is the duty of good democrats to
look about them for the best and
strongest men to 60 upon our ticket.
Put up a ticket that will command
the support of the party and will de-
serve the votes of those who acknowl-
edge no party allegiance. W. have
plenty of good men to chose from ard
if ordinary care be exercised will not
go amiss. The districts entitled to
Commissioners won them by q fair
lottery and it is with them to name
their candidate. We ask them to
choose the man for his fitness. his in

BURYING THEIR DEAD.
Strange Funeral Customs Of the

Francis La Flesche, . Member Of the

tho Queer SupcrstitiOus Beliefs Of
His and Other Tribes,

When one is in the dying agony the
relatives give vent to their grief in
loud walls. The crying continues at
intervals until death takes place. and
also up to the time of burial. This
cry has been by some white persons
mistaken for song or chant, but it in
no way partakes of that character; 1t
is a genuine expression of anguish and
grief. The vail or cry i interspersed
with terms which express the relation
ship between the deceased and the
person grieving. The writer has
many times heard the cry of Indian
men and women, and has seen the
tears f0w down their cheeks. There
is something truly awful in the sound
when men and women together lift up
their voices in the vail of grief. 1t is
far from being like song or cnact

An Uneeremonious Introduction.

An amusing incident occurred lately
in q Baltimore street-car. Several
quite well-known ladies, meeting on
their way to or from the shopping
quarter of the city. were talking in
rather a loud manner about preachers
and their wives They finally came to
speak of the vile of a prominent pas
tor of one of The Methodist churches.
All kinds of things were said-some
truthful. others the boldest imagina-
tons All said they had never seen
the lady; but they had heard she was
q blonde. and all said they would like
to see her. All in the car enjoyed the
talk; none more so than the lady
talked about, who happened to be sit
ting opposite them. When she ar
rived at her destination she pulled the
bell to stop the car; and. having
sense of the ludicrous, went to the
eossipers and said: Ladies, you have
expressed q desire to see me- Hero l
am. Let me give you piece Of adj
vice. When next you gossip in q
street-car don't do it in such loud
manner; it may be heard by some one
who will not enjoy it as have Good
day. The gossipers showed great
astonishment and chagrin. while the
other passengers laughed immoderate-
