In a recent letter by Mi-sa Joseph

The Uies live principally on bread
and meat. When thev can't get
bread they live on meat, and when

eat it all up before getting any more

Their meat is generally permitted to
lie about on the ground or any place.
E;ch Indian family possesses any
Lumber ol dogs from eight to fifteen,
aud these animals help themselves to
meat. After thev have satisfied
themselves, and when the Indians be
come hungry, they cut from the same
piece on which the dogs feed. They
generally boil their meat, but some,
times they broil it. They put it in
water aud let it remain onlv a few
minutes, just long enough to heat,
when thev take it out and begin to
eat. They use the same water and
the siimc pail for boiling - over and
over again, until the water becomes
a perfect slime of filth. One pot gen
trails does service for the entire fam
ilv. This particular pot is a frving
pan. When the Utes get out of their
bed thev wash their faces and batbe
the baby in it, after which they bake
the bread and boil the meat. I hen
they eat out cf the vessel, and then
tbe dos lick up the leavings. They
clothe themselves wnh skins of am

erallv take a blanket or a skin and
cut a hole in tbe middle of it and
throw it over their heads, cutting
armholcs and fastening the garment
at the waist with a wide belt, while
they close up the neck with a buck
skin string. hen the garment
wears out they cut the s.ring and let
it drop, but not before, sometime
the Indians will wear as many as
five of these garments at a time, al

A late issue ol the Yalleja (Cal.)
Qiror.icle says : One of those strange
episodes in human life which makes
us sometimes wonder at "the eternal
fitness of things," occurred last nignt
at the Va'.lejo junction. The tire be
ing low on tbe arrival of tbe Contra
Coast passengers for Vallejo were
compelled to make quite a descent
from tbe wharf to the boat, and the
ladies required the assistance of the
gentlemen present A Mr. G., a
grain speculator, was doing the agree
able in this respect, and one ot the
last ladies to descend was overbur
dened with a few bundles, which be
took charge of, and accompanied the
lady to tbe cabin, where they sat and
engaged in conversation. The sub
ject fiually drifted upon the nativity
of each, when il was found they
were both from the same town in
Kentucky. This fact made each
more communicative, when he in
quired her name, which was given as
Mrs. G. Immediately the gentle
man grew pale ana excueu, ana
asked :
"You had a daughter, did you
not?"
I did," ahe replied. "Pray how
did yoa know that?"
"Is that daughter living i"
"She is. and at present on a visit
to friends at Vallejo, where I am now
SoiK" ....
Mercual heavens!" ne gaspea.
Mv child !"
Sir," said the lady, rising; "what
do yoa mean 7"
"Mean r" be craziiy replied. v ny
mean that that daughter is my own
bild and you are mv wife."
lmost overpowered at this con
fession she plied bim with questions,
to every one of which he returned a
correct answer, when sne was con-
inced that the man was really her
husband, from whom she bad been
separated twenty years. It seems
tbe twain were marriea ai raris,
Kv., in 1858, and thirteen months af
terward he went to Liverpool on
business.
Tbe vessel on which he took pas
sage was wrecked, and all on board
were supposed to have perished.
Tbe news coming to the young wife'B
ears, she was utterly prostrated and
was ordered to California by her
pbvsicians. Arriving here she took
p her residence in Lios Angeios.
The husband was picked up from the
wreck by a fishing smack, and taken
to some remote foreign port, where
be was thrown upon a bed of bick
ness. In the meantime he bad writ
ten repeatedly to his wife, but re
ceived no answer. In his despair he
concluded to risk a journey across
the Atlantic. Feeble as he was he
hipped before the mast on a sailing
vessel, and in due time arrived m
New York. From there he wrote
three times to his wife, but received
no answer. Almost frenzied at tbe
thought that she might be dead, aud
being without lunds and no mends,
be 'laced' his fare clear to Kentucky,
and shortly after arrived at Paris.
Inquiries throughout the town as
sured him that his wife had disap
peared a year or so before, no ouo
knew wbuber.
Some said the had gone ia search
of ber husband, others thought she
had gone to California. He sought
tbe old family physician, but be had
left tbe town some time before. Mr.
G. then went to work at Louisville
and made enough to bring him to
California a year after hid arrival in
Kentucky, lie searcheo every where
for bis absent wife, but without suc
cess, and finally gave her up for dead
and she also had mourned for Lis
death. Neither, however, had mar
ried again, and last evening on board
tbe Contra Costa was tbe first inti
mation either bad that the other was
in existence.
The now happy couple arrived
here last nigtt, and to tbe surprise of
tbe friends of tbe lady sho introduced
ber husband, from whom she bad
been separated twenty years. Bat
imagine bis unutterable surprise and
joy when the mother iea into me
parlor a beautiful young iady, bis
own daughter, whom he bad not seen
since she was a babe. Father, moth
er and child will leave to-morrow for
San Francisco, where Mr. G., who is
now a comparatively wealthy man,
has his business, aad where they will
hereafter reside.

luxury that quiets iLu irritable ner

and entices repose.
Science, scouting so superficial a
description, examines first the smoke,
second the leaf, third the ash. In
the smoke is discovered water in va

bonic acid and carbonic oxide, and a
vaporous substance condensable into

Here is a true elephant storv for
yoa from an American missionary,
who once lived among tbe Dutch
Boers of Natal for seven years. He
saw the ivory, and believes the story:
One afternoon, about fonr o'clock,
three Dutchmen were out bnnting,
and came npon a arge herd of ele
phants. Tbey fired at tbe leader, and
instantly the entire herd fled. Tbe
leader rusbed on and on, thinking be
was on the right track to escape ; but
tbe elephants were in a valley, and
only ran round and round it, in a cir
cle perhaps three hundred yards in
diameter, and were shot down from 4
o'clock in the afternoon nntil eight in
the evening, when darkness prevent
ed the Dutchmen from taking aim
any longer. But tbe three men rose
at break of day, and found the poor
elephants still going round and round.
It was several hoors before a new
leader, breaking out of the beaten
track, led off the remainder of the
herd in safety.
Tbe Dutchmen, whose names were
Botba and Potgeiter, two being broth
er?, counted the slaiu. Ninety ele
phants lay dead in the valley ; and
as.their valuable tusks of ivorv were
divided equally among tbe three
Dutchmen, yoa can believe tbat each
man's share was considerable.
At a dance in the Seventeenth
Ward the other night tbe Bishop ex
pressed himself highly displeased
with the round danceB. lie said that
it was condemned by tbe priesthood,
and if the saints conld not get along
without round dancps they had bet
ter go borne.
The young people remonstrated
with bim, but all to no purpose. "If
you mast waltz, let me show yoa how
to do it," said be, and be got on tbe
floor with a 183 pound blonde, lhe
band struck up the "Blue Danube,"
and down tbe ball glided tbe ttinbop
and the blonde. Tbe tips of ber ting-
i , i j
ers t jucnea nis ana a cruei, com
space divided them. This was tbe
church method, the arm's-length
waits. Soon there was a slight con
traction of tbe arms, and tbe space
between them gradually decreased.
Presently one arm encircled the fair
form. The blonde was tbe nrst to
give way and her cheek looked like
a sunflower in a turnip Geld as it rest
ed on tbe shoulder of tbe Bishop.
Round and round they went, and the
fascinating, weird-like strains fl jated
like heavenly music to his bouI. For
gotten was tbe rouud-danco dogma
of tbe church, and by the calm smile
that stole across his face we knew
that tbeolotry was defeated and one
man at least utterly indifferent to a
future punishment. Salt Lake Trib

A school boy about ten years old

"'So, eir !" was the boy's prompt

"Then you do not love your teach

nntil yesterday, but now I do. I think
she's jast bully."
"Why have yoa loved her Eince
yesterday ?"
"Well, you know Jack Cain ? Well,
he's the worn fighter in onr room.
He can lick me and two other boys
with one band behind him. Well, be
was going to lick me last night, and
he was shaking his fist at me in
echool, and showing his teeth, and
getting me all excited, when the
teacher saw him."

The average amount of opinm con
snmed in China is abont 12,000,000
pounds per annum ; probablv 5,000,
000 pounds more of native opium is
produced. In smoking only a per
tion of the opium is consumed ; the
ash is re-prepared, and yields 50 per
cent ot opium. It is this ash that
enables the opinm saloon keeper to
sell opium at apparently cost price,
the ash paying for the light, attend
ance, house rent and profit. Deduct
ing the nnonsnmed opium, few im
moderate smokers consume more than
a pound and a half a year, while mod
erate smokers do not consume more
than an ounce or so. Tbe most im
moderate smoker does not consume
more than fonr pounds ; and it would
probably ba correct to record half a
pound as the average annual con
sumption of all classes of smokers.
This would make tbe smokers half
tbe adult population.

A former Danite bss been lecturing
in Xew York upon Mormonism. lie
is an Englishman and was a member
of the Mormon community from 1 SCO
until la9t year. lie was driven from
Utah because he refused to continue
bis connection with tbe Danites. Mr.
Jose oh J. llawkeni's exposition of
tbe hopes and plans of tbe Mormons,
being from the month of a priest
among them, comes with something
like ocular sound. Tbat they desire
tbe territory to become a state eo
that they can obtain more general
Mormon role : are for a Democratic
President as offering the quickest
way to get this control ; that their
influence is widely extended over the
Indian tribes, as they hope for effi
cient aid from the red men in fighting
their battles ; and tbat tbey are con
tinually purchasing arms and ammuni
tion, and have a strongly disciplined
military orgauization ot 2o,UUU men
all these allegations are probable
so far as tbey represent the deluded
anticipations of a doomed people, but
no farther.
The United States Government has
been shamefully indulgent in allow,
ing tbe erowth ia one of its termor
iea of such a formidable nest of law
breakers, and baa only submitted to
it because it was cloaked under a
certain form of, or resemblaLce to, re
ligious belief; and becacs we, as
people, are so sensitive io regard to
curtailing any privilege tbat can by
auy possibility be assigned to the pale
of freedom of thought. But the best
thing tbat could happen now (for the
Government and all concerned ex
cept the Mormons), would be for that
handful of men to put themselves into
a hostile attitnde and strike a blow
for their bigotry. It would speedily
settle the Mormon problem. Our
Danite lecturer need have no fears
for Uncle Sam on tbe score of a hos
tile outbreak among bis former friends,
though be certainly can do very little
barm in enlightening this country as
to their marvelous strength and
wicked disposition. Cleveland Leader.
