Notable Epitaphs.

The Brooklyn Eagle, having been
requested to furnish "a few short
epitaphs, y" responds with the follow
ing. '1n work on epitaphs we find
an admirable selection of very brief
ones on stones found in English church
yards. One such stone is in Leaning
ton Cemetery, where the epitaph OF
J. T. Burgess, formerly editor of the
bennington Spa Courier, is one word,
Resting. In Worcester is a stone
erected over the grave of the departed
auctioneer of that city, on which
Gone is inscribed. In Sussex
graveyard, in addition to the initials
of the deceased and the date of death,
n stone has inscribed in large letters
the words 'Ee Was. Two of the
strangest as we'll as the shortest epi-
taphs are Asleep las usuaD, on the
tombstone of large individual by one
who knew him well, and Left Till
Called For is carved on gravestone
in Cane Hill Cemetery, Belfast. A
photographer has this inscription over
his grave: Here l lie, taken from
iiiO' vi tuc tOilb VI CuhfleS bue
Great, first Emperor of Germany, are
two words only, 'Caralo Magno. :"
The study of epitaphs furnishes much
entertainment. Here are several, not
as short as those quoted by the Eagle,
but quite as unique. At Wolstanton,
England:
Mrs. Ann Jennings.
Some have children, some have mono;
Here lies the mother OF twenty-one.
On the tomb of Shields, the Irish
orator:
Here lie at reckon, and my spirit at aise is,
With the tip of my nose, and the ends of my
toes,
Turned up 'gainst the roots OF the daisies.
In n New England churchyard this
appears;
Here lies John Aurcular,
Who in the ways Of the Lord walked per-
pendicular
And this memorial to John Mound
is raised, not in Ireland, but in old
England
Here lies the body OF John Mound,
Lost at sea and never found.

An Orang Outang Out for q Stroll.

1t is most interesting sight to watch
On orang outang make its way through
the jungle. 1t walks slowly along the
larger branches in semi-erect atti-
tude, this being apparently caused by
the length of its arms and the short
uess of its legs. 1t invariably selects
those branches which intermingle with
those of neighboring tree, on ap-
preaching which it stretches out its
long arm, and, grasping the boughs
opposite, seem first to shake them MS
if to test their strength, and then de-
liberately swings itself across to the
next branch, which it walks along as
before. 1t does not jump or spring as
monkeys usually do, and never ap-
pears to hurry itself unless some real
danger presents. Yet in spite of its
apparently slow movements, it gets
along far quicker than a person run
ming through the forest beneath, :.

A Curious Indian Relic.

Not long ago there was dug up in
Ashland u curious stone with some dim
and crude inscription upon it. 1t be-
ing shown to an old Oregon pioneer
he pronounced it a temanewas stone,
worn as breastplute by the ancient
Indian priests.
1t has holes in the upper corners by
which it may be hung upon the priests
neck. 1t carries upon it picture OF
the sacred wigwam, and at one end of
the wigwam stands the totem pole, on
the top of which little flag was hung
that warned the evil spirits off while
the priest performed his divine func-
tions in the sacred house or wigwam.
This temanewas may coincide with
*the breastplate of the Ephod, worn by
the ancient Hebrew priests, 80 that
the picture of the wigwam on this
stone may represent the primary an
cestor of all the temples ever dedi-
Gated III the world, and all flags and
liberty poles of all ages and countries
may possibly be the lineal descendants
OF the original totem represented on
the stone. Probably this Ashland
stone is the only one of the kind now
IN existence. Ashland (Oregon) Tid-
