WEDDING AND FUNERAL CEREMONIES.
The Ioltec soldiers wore d quilted
cotton tUnic that lifted closely 20 the
body, and protected also the shoulders
and thighs. Their weapons were spears,
light lavelins and clubs, studded with
steel. silver or gold nails. The Toltecs
used copper currency. There were
public granaries, which, i'll times OF fam
inc, were thrown open to the people.
They had schools OF art, and among the
various sumptuous editices at their city
of Utatlan was college which had a staff
of seventy teachers and 5000 or 5000 pu-
pills, who were educated at the expense
OF the Government. Their principal dei-
ties were the gods of the sun and the
moon. These people were above the
middle hight. Their complexion was
Clear and their hair was thicker than that
of the nations which followed them.
Marriage among the Toltecs is thus de-
scribed by Desire Charnay in his work
on Ancient Cities of the New World"i
On the occasion OF wedding friends and
relatives were invited and the walls OF
the best apartment were adorned with
pretty devices composed OF flowers and
evergreens. The bridegroom occupied q
seat at the right of the hearth which was
burning in ii, while the bride sat at tue
left OF the hearth. Then the marriage
maker" as he was called, stood up and
addressed the young people, reminding
them Of their mutual duties in the life
they were about to enter. At the end Of
his speech they were given new cloaks
and received the good wishes and con-
gratulatlOns Of their friends, who, as they
came up, threw each in turn some per

bridegroom were crowned with CapletS
of flowers, and the day was. concluded
with festivities. There was also rellgl-
GUS ceremony similar to this in all re-
spectS, a priest officiating, when, instead
OF cloaks, they put on costly dresses, with
skulls embroidered on them. Thus at
tired the newly married couple were ac-
companied to their home and lett to
themselves.
Among the Toltecs the dead were buried
in their clothes and with dogs to guide
and defend them in their long journey.
According to their belief when the de-
parted were ushered into the presence OF
the King of the neither world, Mictlaute
cutli, they offered him papers, bundles of
sticks, perfumed reeds, tunicS, shirts and
other articles. There was supposed to be
great river in the internal regions,
across which all the spirits OF the defunct
were obliged to swim. On the banks Of
this stream were dogs which helped
their owners to cross it. Whenever a
ghost neared the bank his dog immedi-
ately jumped into the river and helped
him out. When woman died her whole
wardrobe was carefully put aside and
eighty days later a portion of it was
burned. This operation was repeated on
the anniversary of the same day for four
years, at the end of which everything
that had belonged to the deceased was
finally consumed.

KRUPP AND HIS WORKMEN.
The Great German Gunmaker's Meth
ods of Improving Their Condition.

The Great German Gunmaker's Meth
DDS of Improving Their Condition.
One of the greatest manufacturing es-
tablishments in the world is the krupp
cast steel works at Essen in Germany.
Experiments at improving the condition
of the labOring people employed there
have been going on for twenty-five years,
during which period the number of en-
ployes has increased from 5000 to 1000,
and, with their families, from $4,000 to
S5,0 900 persons. For twenty years before
1870 the condition OF the people in the
growing town was very unsatisfactory,
and landlords and traders practically
robbed them. The sanitary condition was
very bad, the annual death rate being
over five and half per cent. of the popu-
lation. These conditions led to reVOlu-
tionary and socialiStic meetings and OUT
breaks. and finally to great strike in
1872 that lasted six weeks. The firm had
already been building houses for its en-
ployes, and now took hold of matters
with more energy and determination.
According to the Providence Telegram its
efforts have resulted in the erection Of
over 3,700 comfortable dwellings and in
the establishment by the firm of large
stores to free the working people OF the
exactions of the old traders.
The scheme which has been carried out
consists af four branches: l. The build
ing and renting OF workingmen's dwell
ings. 2. The firms cooperative stores
and boarding accommodation for unmar-
ried workmen. 3. The treatment and
prevention Of sickness and disease. 4.
Insurance against accident and sickness,
pension fund, savings banks, etc. To
these are also added the establishment of
common and industrial schools, the edu-
cation of apprentices and the training of
young girls in housekeeping; humani-
tartan rules in factory work; assistance in
maintaining religious teachings, and in
charity work. In buildings the firm
have invested about S3, 100000 They re-
fuse to sell them to their men, fearing
they might thus pass into the hands OF
spectators. A cooperative store, al
ready existing in 1865, was bought by the
company and its scope enlarged. All
sales are on a cash basis. Anybody can
buy from it, but the employees only are
entitled to books, in which all their pur-
chases are entered, and at the end of a
year they receive a cash rebate proper
toned TO the amount of their sales. This
store now comprises perhaps fifty branch
establishments, such as fifteen retail
groceries, a shoe factory and stores,
clothing establishments and so on. And
among the employees OF these stores are
more than 800 widows and daughters OF
workmen.
The best thing about this, as we learn
from recent report on the subject, Is
that Mr.. Krupp does not consider the
money he has invested in these enter
prises as spent in charity, but as Judi
cious outlay which has brought him in
as good a return in money as his outlay
in any other direction.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres or
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land Of fair average quality and is offered at
nom so 10 $50 per acre, in subdivisions Of
90, 80, 120, 16o and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They Will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipsl is tc be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate OF per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sored that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre
and good agricultural land at $50 an acrs.
With other grades Of land at prices to corre-
spond between these lgures
The assertion Is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peciallS adapted for fruttgrowing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
300 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase of this
body OF land was the breaking up Of = large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

A POPULAR POINTER.

The voters of seven of the most i'm
portant states day before yesterday
gave the administration pointer con-
corning its duty during the next three
or four years. The popular expression
of disfavor was ill.concealed and the
cause of it was no less apparent. The
cause was not that the people were
suffering from conditions not political,
but wholly extraneous," as the admin
istration has already made haste to ex-
plain.
1t does not require close observer to
trace Tuesdays victory to an apprehen-
sion OF Democratic interference with an
economic policy, which was foolishly
placed in Democratic hands. The people
have signifed that they are regretful,
and want the policy returned to them
untouched.
The present financial depression can
have had no other origin than a fear of
tariff reform. There was only one other
adventurous condition and that was the
artificial panic inaugurated to bring
about the repeal OF the Sherman pur-
chasing clause.
That enactment had been in opera
ton three years without having pro-
duced the i'll effect suddenly ascribed 10
it when its repeal was determined upon
by the administration and since it's re-
peal there has been no corresponding
sign of a renewal of trade activity.
That the people do not believe that
the purchasing clause was the origin of
the trou bic is shown in the fact of the
extraordinary maiorities in the states OF
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts where the people were
almost unanimously in favor OF repeal
and who, if they had regarded it as the
sole or chief panacea for the trouble,
would have been moved with spirit of
gratitude toward Mr.. Cleveland, whose
more than presidential officiousness
had afforded it.
In New York, the nomination by the
Democrats of Judge Maynard may have
contributed to the result, but it cannot
be held to account tor the ave inspiring
land slide. In Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts there was but one issue,
and that was the national one, the
tariff.
Also in Iowa the tariff was the main
question, though it may have been sup
plemented by knowledge of the ad
ministration's hostility to western in
terests. .,
The main question now is, in the face
of the intimatlon which the Democratic
party has received, what will it dare to
do about the tariff?

In accordance with the proclamation of the

THE friends of j. Hampton Hoge, of
Roanoke, Va, the recalled cousul to
Annoy, China, are coming to his rescue.
The charges against Mr.. Hoge are issu-
ing bank checks against an imaginary
deposit, forgery and drunkenness. Mr..
Hoge's apologists says that the first
charge which has been proved is sus-
ceptible OF honorable explanation, that
the second which remains to be proved
is lie in toto and that the third which
may be proved is an exaggeration. A
more ingenious defense could not have
been devised yet it is precisely the one
that would have been adopted by an ex-
ceedingly guileless and simple minded
person.

THE PROCEEDING in the Dun bar Barnes
habeas corpus case which was finally
passed Upon yesterday by Chief Justice
Baker, will readily find its way into the
books. The case in all its phases was
without precedent and the decision
reached by the chief justice was allowed
only after searching investigation and
the closest consideration and skillful
weighing of authorities apparently in
conflict as to certain phases of the case.
