Details of the Ceremony of Stoning her to Death, as Given by an Eye "Witness. The facts concerning the disap pearance of "Winnemucca's wife have now come to light, and are related by a half breed called Grizzly John, who is fully acquain ted with the circumstances of her death. He was an eye witness of the horrible scene, which he de scribes to a Gazette reporter in passable English. Immediately after the affair ho went north on a deer hunt, from which he returned 3'esterday. The evening before old Winne mucca died, about one hundred Indians took the squaw to a large spring, where she had been ordered" to bathe. Other squaws stripped her and washed her from head to foot, and then sprinkled her with fine ashes. Then they started for a range of hills a few miles from Coppersmith station, leading the squaw, naked and barefooted. Upon arriving at a chosen spot they lit a circle of fires, which lighted up a space cf ground about 100 feet in diameter. In the center of this was a stump eight or ten inches high, to which the trembling squaw was securely bound by one foot with a raw hide strap. She still held her child, a bright little papoose about 2 years old. "When she had been secured, each buck sought ior a certain number of stones about the size of a man's fist, and laid them in a pile within the circle of fires. When all was ready for the sacrifice the Indians joined hands and began a monotonous chant, which lasted for a few minutes. w! fj 'when one of them stepped into aw rfsrvi Ai - "a-" i -T - v .- I " --3S&nJS22W2bSire ragurt As he continued to speak the poor, agonized squaw gave rent to piercing shrieks, crouching upon the ground and pressing her babe to her breast. This lasted for some minutes. Then at a signal there was silence except the wails of the intended victim. Suddenly the speaker sprang towards her and grasped the child. She strug gled frantically but unavailingly to retain it, and was compelled by force to let it go. The fiend im mediately swung the infant around his head, holding it br the ankle, howling like a demon, and being echoed by the red devils about him; but the squaw did not raise her head nor emit a single sound. Suddenly he dashed the child upon a rock and killed it instantly. Then he resumed his place in the circle, which swung around again, chanting as before, till the one who had killed the baby came op posite the pile of stones he had collected, when the movement stopped. Stepping forward he picked up a stone, and going to within ten feet of the crouching -victim he hurled it at her with all the strength possessed by his brawny red arm. The missile struck her on the side, and was answered by a shriek of anguish. He returned to his place and the circle revolved again until another Indian was entitled to a murder ous fling. The wretched creature at the stako was crouched in such an attitude that only her side and bask were exposed. It was for bidden to hit her upon the head, and the second savage, choosing the most available target, launched a rock at her with the projectile force of a catapult, striking her between the shoulders, and cutting a fearful gash, from which the blood flowed down her back in a small rivulet. He then retired to his place, and the circle moved on as before. Thus they continued their murderous pastime until the poor, pitiful object lay prone upon the ground, a bleeding, senseless mass of mangled flesh. As she lay wpon her back, the savage who bad harangued the band at first, raised a large rock over his head with both hands and inflicted the cevp de grace by smashing her skull. Then there was pandemo nium for a few minutes, after which they dispersed and collected wood for a pile, upon which the remains of the luckless squaw and her babe were burned. A few were left to keep up the sacri ficial fire, while the others, ic turned to old Winnemucca to comfort his dying moments with the assurance that his young squaw had preceded him to the Indian's happy land. lltno Gazette.

In farming districts of Denmark, where smokiDg is almost universal, and pipes with huge china bowls arc as common as mile stones are scarce on country cross roads, distance is more frequently measured by "pipes" than by miles. The easy going, set ways of the people made this expedient practi cable. Great is the amazement of the traveler, however, at being told in answer to his inquiry about the distance to the next town, that it'is so many "pipes of tobacco." Experience will, teach him that at the steady gate and pull of tho native about two English miles, or half u Danish mile, make a "pipe." SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.
