The first maMavro of Chinrio in the

1868,. whim aoventy of them were killl

mine, of NevaoVwyid were proceeding
in a hand to thA jrji of Idaho in
march of work otjfold. It was tho
first time Chinamen had ever lwcn seen
hy tho Shonhoivi Indians and they wpre
the lant they wanted to see A freighter
who was? well known to the Indiana
camped near where the massacre took
place on the day following, and the
Shoshone chief explained (o him how it
11 happened. "MeShe so, mehhe not;
he no whito man, he no nigger, ho no
Injun. lie go quack! quackl like urn
duck. He no good; Injun kill urn all."
The Shofhone then went through the
motion of pulling tho queues and lifting
the heathen scalps with many grimaces
and to the great delight of the freight-r.--BH.ker

The procewt of restoring a character,
istic old wooden church at Hopperstad,
in the llardt'8 district of Sogne, in
Norway, has drought to light a Nor
wegian medieval relic. In a closed
ninchn hook, consisting of six wax
tahlety, was found carefully inclosed in
a casket of wood and leather. The
Udlotsare of lox wood covered with
wax, each tablet having a thin border,
so as to prevent the taMels from stick
ing together on closing the hook. This
precaution ling helped to keep it in ex
cellent preservation, Tho contents are
chiefly draw ingH, nmde hy a linn style,
representing scenes from village and
rtirai lifn.
At l he end there is a large eatalnguo
in Latin of various kinds of animals,
with a transition into old Norwegian,
and from this it has Iwen conjectured
that the greater portion of the hook
dutes from the thirteenth century. Hut
there are indications that part of the
liook is of earlier date. The taMoU
are fastened togelhei at the hack, and
the cover is carved and inlaid with
various small piece of different colored
wooiIm. The hook has heen placed in
the Museum cf Antiquities in the
University of Clm'xtiania, and it is in
tended to puUixli it shortly in fuc
Hi in ile.
It is predicted that, in the cnurso of
the next livo yearn, the ttteel nail will
havn as completely supplanted the iron
nail an the nteel rail has its iron prede
cessor. Already one-half of the nails
manufactured in Wheeling nre made of
Kteel, and the machinery nnd plant
ii"ceKiury for their manufacture are
lieing set up in every nail centre and
at nearly every nail foundry. It is
said that, under present conditions,
steel nails can I made aliout ten cents
per keg cheaper than those made of
iron, even where the manufacturer has
to purchase Ids ingot.
Many of the now Democrat io post,
masters in the small towns where the,
Mslaries are regulated hy the nuniher of
letters mailed are complaining to the
Postmaster General that they are boy
cotted hy the friends of their Republi
can predecessors, so that their compen
sation will he greatly cat down. Doz
en of letter containing these com
plaints are received at the department
every day. At Illery, III., the mail is
collected ly a private agency and de
livered on the mail train to deprive the
new appointee of his patronage and
rovenue. And so in many other places.

for Dancert.
Allen Uodworth has published in a
manual of dancing explicit instructions
as to the proper attitude to assume
toward your partner (feminine) in
round dances. Many young gentlemen
might profit hy following Mr. Dod
worth' rules, and hy taking timely
warning of those additional sugges
tions, . QA 4
One armvienough to put around
the tady at one time; thX ambidextrous
position known in tha West a the
"double hug" is neither refined nor
pleasing to the eye. Nor is it neces
sary; tho young lady will not try to
get away until tho musio stops, if her
partner is respectably skillful.
You will notice, sometimes, at fire
men's halls, that some of the gentlemen
hold their partners much as if they
wore hose. That is not tho way; tho
men that keep them at a distance, as if
they were the 6 re, are nearer right
Do not aqucezn tho young lady while
dancing. If it is necessary to your
happiness to embrace her it is better
taste to choose a retired part of the
conservatory after the dance is over.
The snapping of rib aronnd a ball
room irritates the musicians.
While avoiding und'je compression
of your partner, do not allow her to
forget that you are there. Unless
your rudder has been temporarily un
shipped it is your duty to steer. If
she will no' allow1 you to do so it is
proper to ask her to take you to your
mother.
It is in this country the ludy's privi
lego to stop walt.ing when she it tired.
The man may keep on until she stops.
If he has a pedometer in his tronser
pocket he should not look at the dial
until after he has taken her to her seat.
To pull it out at Uie end of a long
waltz and announce tho miles is a had
form. Equally ill bred it is to mop the
iirow ostentatiously and say "Gosh!''

Lost En Crip.
The man who has lost his grip do-
srves morn attention than ho usually
receives, lie is an old friend. Every
body knows him. He is a man who
lives, not from choice, hut from neces
sity on a diet of cold shoulder. It seem
impossible for a man who has com
pletely lost his grip to ever tegain it.
Ho may Is? a steam engine in breeches,
and a model of good conduct and in
tegrity, but his energy and ability will
go fot nothing. It is useless for him
to assert himself and make a decided
stand. The tide is against him, and
he cannot successfully breast it. Why
is this sol To this question all tort
of answers have been given.
The fact that our unfortunate ac
quaintance once had a grip indicates
that he at one ti.no in his career pos
sessed some of the essentials belonging
to the make-up of a successful man.
The explanation of his hopeless and
helpless "flop'' involves the analysis of
the leading condition of success and
failure.
In the first generation a man reck
ons only two ancestors, his father and
mother. In the second generation the
two are changed into four, ainoo he had
two erandfather and two grandmoth
ers. Each of these four had two par
ents, and thus in the third generation
there are found to 1 eight ancestors
that ia eight greatgrandpirents. In
the fourtn generation the number of
ancestors is sixteen, in the fifth thirty-
two, in the sixth sixty four, in the
seventh 128, in the tenth 1,021, in the
twenthi'lh 1,048,576, in the thirtieth
1,073,741,831. This may prove that
all the world's akin.
The woman who order a spool of
thread sent by ex press is not o rare a
some imagine. At a dry goods counter
one day last week were two ladie.
Onn of them was the daughter oft
very rich man, whoso father was rich
ls-fore him, and the other was the wife
of a roan who had suddenly acquired
wealth. The last mentioned ordered a
very small package to b lent home,
and the first took a good sized bundle
undrr her arm and walked up the
street with an independence worthy of
admiration. -ponton Uudget.

Let me take a single cnmplo of how
even a pittjr manufacture .improved by

obtained in two minutes; hut yery
often the time occupied much longer,
and the process . Iiecame a great trial to
tho serenity of temper. The conse

burning lamp was kept alight through

who stilt stick to the tinder-box, and
for whonVa few shops keep a small

not till 1833 that matchea became a

A historical joke is perpetrated by
almost evory Maine Legislature. A
Diddeford man tells one. the butt of
which was Judge Nathaniel Kimball,
who is a wag himself. Judge Kimball
drew a petition for the protection of
smelts in Sandy Brook, secured a largo
nuinW of rignatures, "and sent it to
the Legislature. It was read in the
house and referred to the 'CommitUe
on Military Affairs vbo reported it
expedient to place an armed force on
the brook under the command of Gen.
George Washington Whitten. A lot
cf these old Legislative jokes will be
resurrected at tho coming reunion.
A whito man from away down South'

in the frigid substance, and put a half
