Fearful Death Punishment.

The Thibetans of the district near
the headwaters of the Irrawaddy have a
strange and terrible death punishment.
The Irrawaddy here passes through a
narrow canon fully 1000 feet deep.
The gorge has a curious funnel-like
property and a tremendous wind pre-
walls there nearly ali the time. Across
the top of the gorge is beam which is
turned by windlass. A swing hangs
from the beam 400 feet in the chasm.
Great sails or wings project from the
sides of the swing. The criminal is tied
in the swing, the windlass is turned and
down, down between the dark. gloomy
rock sides of the gorge he goes into
the region of the eternal winds. Back
and forth he swings in the twilight of
that underworld. At noon the sun
shines down through the narrow rift
above. AT night few stars find re-
Election in the river below. Swing,
swing, held at the end of the rope, by a
gust stronger than usual, falling back
with rush during lull, the swing
rises and falls. until it is a skeleton in
chains that rides on the bosom of the
wind.

Care for the Dead.

II costs the United States about so
cents a month to take care of dead
soldier who lost his life in the service
of the union. The sundry civil bill
passed by congress at its last session
appropriated 100000 for expenses of
the national cemeteries during the fs-
cal year. In addition to this there was
the sum of $4,000 set aside for
salaries of superintendent of these
burying grounds, and there were also
some odds and ends, amounting to
several thousand dollars, for supplying
headstones where they were lacking,
and so forth.
The government takes charge of all
these cemeteries, which are under the
direct control of the quarter-master
general of the army. There are 80 of
them in all, including an aggregate of
327 900 burials. The smallest of the
burying grounds is at Balls Bluff,
where 25 federal warriors are inferred,
only one of them identified. The next
smallest is the old battle ground ON
Seventh.st in this city. 1t would be
much cheaper to remove the bodies
resting at both these places to other
locations, but sentiment accords to
them a claim to remain where they
fell in brave fight. So, although only
43 are buried at the battle ground, a
superintendent is maintained there in
charge at salary of $50 month and
with q house free for his occupancy.
The superintendent, as decreed by law,
are all disabled veterans, none others
being eligible for the position and their
pay is, according to the size of the
cemeteries they have charge of, $50,
$65, $40 and SIS a month. Thus
they are divided into four classes.
The biggest of the 81 national ceme-
teries are at Andersonville, Ga, with
1902 dead; Arlington, Va, with 49,
$50; Chalmette, La, with 1890
Chattanooga, Tenn, with 1923;
Fredericksburg, Va, with 1928;
Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, with 11,647;
Antietam, Nd, with II, 139; Marietta,
La, with 1882; Nashville, Tenn,
with 1851; Salisbury, N. c., with
1872 and Vicksburg, Miss, with 49,
$40. Of the 7,179 inferred, IT'S, 225
are known and 1885, unidentified.
About $500 of the entire number are

aid.
'The river, though narrow, was deep,
and the current swift, but my pony
was good swimmer, and plunged in
boldly. We were not long in reaching
safely the dense underbrush which
lined the opposite bank. The Indians
had made no motion to dctain me, but
as my pony with me disappeared
within the brush, there came a chorus
Of yells from the other side, while sew
eral shots peppered the trees around
Now was my time to try my little
ruse. Leaping quickly from my pony's
back, gave him a keen whack with
the barrel of a revolver that sent him
off through the forest on a mad gallop.
Disappointment of my weight, I knew
the red rogues would not be able to
overtake him.
my next act was TO slip myself inn
mediately into niche in the side of the
bluff, where Bioka had advised me to
hide. Here 1 crouched, fearing to
breathe, while the yelling rivals swan
the river and dashed onward after the
fleeing but riderless pony. 1t was evil

past my secure hiding-place, each en-
deavoring to outride the others.

lily as could made my way TO a large
clump of willows up the river. The

tionlessly therein. My heart gave a
great bound of joy. ! knew that Bioka

thoughts by relating some Of his per

given in his own words:
Three autumns ago was one of a
gay party of hunters, within the bor-
ders of that wild region over which the
savage Comanches roamed and engaged
in warfare with their dusky antagon-
lists.
while we were stopping for few
days at the government post north of
our hunting grounds, there had been a
few scattering rumors that the Co.
manches were preparing to take the
warpath against the whites. But as
the officers placed no confidence in the
reports, having been fooled so often by
persons who liked to stir up excite
ment, we, also, paid no attention to
them.

timber, and | concluded that it would
be useless for me TO keep up the chase

my horses head back toward our dis
