using them as shields against the hre
of the Calling gun, proceeded to the
armory post, overcame guard VINO
sought to stay them, armed themselves
with rifles and pistols and escaped
across the prison ranch into Eldorado
county.
A desperate fight took place in the
captains office, where the prisoners
made their break. The convicts were
armed with knives and razors and
With these they assaulted Warden

warden's clothing was slashed into
shreds with razor, but the blade did

G. ]. Cochrane, turnkey of the peni-
.entiary, entered the Office during the
assault and seized a chair, with which
he made for the assailants OF the ofii-
GERS. He rained blows upon them right

Office proceeded to the armory posi-
where they fortified themselves with
rifles, knives, pistols and ammunition.
The warden was taken about mile
| toward Mormon Island bridge and a
convict, armed with a rifle. marched
! ON either side OF him. He was told
I. that they would not harm him, but II
any of the pursuers took the lie OF
one of the escaping convicts they
would retaliate, life for life. The
warden was the first to return TO the
prison. He wore no hat, the prisoners
having seized this from him. Capt
Murphy appeared soon Afterwards
minus his trousers.

 It was decided at the last Moose meeting to admit none but Moose to the Saturday night dances. This action was taken, on account of the increased number of Moose in town, and the limited size of the hall. The dances will be given regularly every Saturday.

Schneider, is the first march composed and published in Alaska, and pronounced by Mir. K. Liebling, a fine musician and composer of Chicago, to be very pleasing and sounding firstrate.

A Queer Marriage Ceremony.

Among the Kherrias of India the
marriage ceremony is quite elaborate.
After many preliminaries the priest
begins this singular performance: TAX
ing small portion of the hair Of the
bride and groom in turn from the cen
ter of the forehead, he draws it down
on to the bridge Of the nose. Then,
pouring oil on the top Of the head, he
watches it carefully as it trickles down
the portion of hair. If the oil runs
straight on to the tip of the nose their
future will be fortunate, but If it
spreads over the forehead or trickles off
on either side of the nose bad luck is
sure to follow Their fortunes told
generally to their own satisfaction, the
essential and irrevocable part of the
| ceremony takes place. Standing up
side by side, but with faces strictly
averted, the bride and bridegroom
mark each others forehead with Sin
dur" Wermilio1D. Great care is always
taken that neither shall catch glimpse
of the other during this important proc
ess which finally makes the couple man
and wife.

Nature SCULPTURE.

One Of the most remarkable pieces Of
nature sculpture in California is the
George Washington rock, about thirty
five miles northwest of Los Angeles, in
the Santa susanna mountains, says the
Sunset Magazine. A chiseled monu-
ment could hardly bear truer likeness
to George Washington than this chance
picture in the ragged contour of huge
bowlder. Viewed from one point, and
only one, it stands out sharp and dis
tinct against the sky. From all other
points the rock is a shapeless mass.
The image measures full twenty-five
feet from chin to brow and is close to
the top Of the hill. In the vicinity have
been found Indian relics-ovens, stones
containing Indian writings, arrow
heads, mortars-and many traces Of q
settlement of aborigines.
