Indian Depredations.

A young man who left this city some
time ago to make his fortune in the
gold mines of Alaska has just returned
with an awful story of suffering and
hardship. 1t is as follows:
The United States statutes forbid the
landing of liquors in Alaska except for
medicinal purposes, so the young man
secured a permit from Collector Wise
to carry fye-gallon ke G of whisky
with him. The collectors at Port Town
send and Juneau allowed the liquor to
pass, and the prospector carried it in
land several hundred miles. In order to
keep it safely while out prospecting he
buried it deep in the snow, and on his
return found it safe and sound. He
moved camp a hundred miles or more,
and buried it again. Not finding any
claim worth working he struck further
inland, and again buried his keg a hun
dred miles from civilization. When he
returned couple of weeks later he dug
down in the snow, but could find no
whisky. He kept digging. thinking ii
might have sunk of it's own weight, but
still found no trace of his treasure. Fif-
teen feet below the point where it had
been buried he struck board, upon
which was written in fine Spencerian
hand:
"Stolen by Indians."-Sa Francisco
Post.

An Apotheosis in His Memorable
First Inaucural.
In an epoch of convulsion and cataclysm
and chaos Abraham Lincoln was intro
duced into presidential power. He held
to the syllogistic and spurned fgurative
speech. No fustian found favor in his
prejudices.
Coming to the end of his first inaugural,
Lincoln reached these words: 'In your
hands, my fellow countrymen, and not in
mine, is the momentous issue of civil war.
The Government will not assail you. You
can have no conflict withSut being your
selves the aggressors. Yea have no oath

Many years ago the great German
mathematician, Bessel, announced that
both Sirius and Procyon-popularly
known as the dog og-stars-possessed In
visible companions revolving around
them. He was led to this conclusion by
studying the motions Of those stars. In
1862 the companion of Sirius was dis
covered with the telescope, and during
the present year it has reappeared,
after being invisible for six yeara
through too close proximity to it's bril-
liant comrade. Quickly following the
temperance Of Sirius companion has
also come the discovery Of the compan-
ion Of Procyon, which had never been
seen until Professor Schaeberle caught
sight of 1t with the great telescope Of
the Lick Observatory a few weeks ago,
