—— " A great deal is said after a person’s death about “his never having an en. emy;” “always having a kind word for everybody;” he loved bis fellow beings;” “he was never in bad humor,” no difference what might occur; “he never held malice, or felt revengful toward a human being.” We now beg leave to differ on these matters. We do not believe there is a being on God’s earth that tills the above conditions. No professor of religion that we ever met, but what could abuse his brother in the church like a thief if he had crossed him. We hear church members talk about and against other church members just us much as we do those who make no profession. And we for once, like human nature the world over, have our dislikes for those who have swindled us. It is born in human nature. And when a real mean person dies we hate him just tlm same as ever. Why should we not? If we do a person a mean, unpardonable act, we do not ask him to forgive us. We take our own chances before the court above. But a fair, honest, everyday christain, who does nearly as he would like to be done by, we can honor and respect. We do not like everybody, and we know very well do not worship us! — ’T^osheu 'Democrat. Up to last Monday 363 Indians, men, women and children, had been killed by the soldiers, and the Indians dtclared that they would continue tlm war to the bitter end to avenge the killing of their women and children. A SIBERIAN EXPLORER. Dr. ilerz' Experiences—Among Owners of Herds of Thousands of Reindeer. Dr. Otto Herz, well known for his work in botany, mineraloirv and ethnology, has just reached San Francisco after an expedition across Siberia which consumed two years ami eight months. He explored territory from ^Jthe extreme west to Behring sea and p made a special study of fanna and Hora. He penetrated a portion of Kamtschatka never before visited by Europeans ami made many important discoveries. He left St. Petersburg March 25, 1888. Facilities were placed at his disposal, as he bore the Grand Duke Michael’s commission. He remained at Vitim, about 1.000 miles from Irkutsk until the ice in the Lena river broke, when he proceeded by steamer to the Siberiakoff mines. The first winter was spent at Yakutsk. He started in March for the Vilyni river. There he found a rich scientific lield, discovering rare minerals and beautiful opals in the bed of the river. Gangs of men were required by him to cut a way through the timber and underbrush. In mid-January Dr. Herz -tailed for Okhotsk, over 600 miles due east. The distance was made rapidly, but hardships began on the long overland journey from Okhotsk to Petropaulovski. Just beyond Tomsk he struck a snowstorm which lasted nineteen days. The doctor’s route was along the seashore, where the storm had full sweep. After spending a day in the underground caves it was decided to brave the storm. Tlu? doctor says of the hardships of his journey: “The first day we only made eight miles and camped in the open air. sleeping as best we could in our furs. On the evening of the second day we arrived at the river in a completely exhausted condition. In all my recollections of travel I know of no experience to be compared to that of those two days spent, in the ^wihls of Siberia, exposed to the fury of a biting snow-storm,compelled to push forward or to die from exposure. Step by step our faithful dogs made their way over crusts of ice, bleeding at nose and eyes so that they left bloody tracks on the snow. To make matters worse, it snowed so hard it was almost dark, and the occupant of the sleigh knew.at no time whether his companions were alive or buried, or fell into one of the many yawning ice gulches constantly encountered. On the river Lukowa we •lug a huge pit and roofed it with the tree branches we fortunately found. In ttiis cut we cooked the first warm meal we tasted for five days.” The doctor’s route lay along the Okhotsk sea and then straight across the peninsula. In most places he was u the first white man the native nomads ^\ul ever seen. They had enormous 3HUQ a- lu.UOO reindeer near the principal city of the t

He visited a volcano which 15.760 feet high, and with its top of Filer peaks which constantly emit K»oke. From the summit he saw p 1 lining sea. He was the first European I survey and ascend this volcano, n April he reached Petropaulovski, /"where he had to wait two months bey fore making any scientific studies. He «efi there on the schooner Leon, which P>rought him to San Francisco in forty jdays. Precious Stones. Strictly speaking, the only precious / stones are the diamond, ruby, sapphire ' and emerald, though the term is often 1 extended to the opal, notwithstanding । its lack of hardness, and to the pearl, L which is not a mineral, but strictly an A animal product. Popularly a gem is a Aprecious or semi-precious stone when ^eut or polished for ornamental pur■^oses. Pies in New York.

Where Old Maids Sleep. ‘•There, sir, is where thirty old maids arc buried, all in one spot.” The speaker was one of the Green wood guides, and he pointed to a large plot i , of ground, inclosed by an iron railing ! in which more than a score of tomb- ■ stones had been reared. , “Them,” continued the guide, addressing a N. Y. Mail and Express writer, with a rare disregard of grammatical rules, “them was all members of an old maids’ society, and the whole society is buried there.” As to the truth of the statement concerning the society of old maids the reporter can say nothing. But the graves of the women are there, in one of the quietest spots near the center of Greenwood, and none but "’omen are buried in the plot. They were of all ages, but most of them died full of years, as the records on the tombstone show. Three sisters sleep within the plot side by side, and over the grave of each is a tall, broad slab, setting forth quaintly and devoutly the records of the lives of the j dead, with the further statement as to how the women died fast in the faith. Especially long lived were these three maiileu ladies, for, according to the records on their tombs, all of them lived to be more than one hundred years old, the oldest of them all dying at the ripe old age of one hundred and twelve years. The last burial in this quaint old plot was^made long ago. ami.it is said that there will he no more. I'he last j of the band of maiden ladies who made up the “society.” if such it reaHv wrs, is sail! to have passed away. The last tombstone has been erected in the inclosure, and the plot in which the women rest will, so far as can be cou- i jeetured, be disturbed no more. There are many visitors to the spot ! where the maiden ladies now rest, j The story of the society of women, who, having lived alone during life wished in death to rest in a 'spot set apart for them alone never fails to interest these visitors. In its wav it is, perhaps, as unique a spot as there is iu Greenwood. Nellie Grant Sartoris. “Speaking of Mrs. Sartoris,” continued Col. Ochiltree, “reminds me that Nellie Grant—l can't l.elp calling her by the old name which she bore when I kissed her as a little girl—is prettier than ever. I saw hn. while in London, and I never knew her to be ; so charming. With her two daughters and her 13-year-oid sou she spends the i fashionable season inn tine house in the I fashionable quarter of Lorn lon. Cadogan square, that is pronounced ns if it were pronounced Caduggan. She also has a line country place. 1 dislike ex- ; tremely much talking about her pri- ’ vate affairs, but as it is well known I that she ami her husband do not live together, and as t’ ere have been many surmises which are capable of doing her wrong, I will speak briefly concerning them. Mr. Sartoris is not a pleasant kind of an individual, and Neilie found it out to her cost within a short time after she had married him. and that discovery was one of the great griefs of Gen. Grant’s later life. His conduct in later years became such that his wife could not live with him. Without going into the equities of the matter, the justness of Mrs. Sartoris’ position can easily be judged from the conduct of her father-in-law. Up to the time of his death the elder Sartoris was a devoted friend and admirer of his American daughter-in-law, and by the terms of his will Nellie Grant is now a very rich woman, living in a house which cost £40,000 and enjoying an annual income of £7.500, while her husband receives a liberal allowance only, which ceases with his death and reverts to his children. Airs. Sartoris is a frequent and welcome visitor at Marlboro House, and once in two weeks she dines with the Queen, which it is needless for me to add is a distinction conferred noon few people not of royal aristocratic birth.” And the Campaign Ended. “This Indian scare in Dakota reminds me of an experience I had iu Arizona last summer, when the Hualnpais were having a big dance.” said E. E. Lowe of 00 North East street—a “typographical tourist,” he picturesquely calls himself, says the Indianapolis News. “When those southwestern Indians intend going on the war-path they buy all the ammunition they can get, quietly abandon their camps, and go to the mountains. Then just at dusk, or break of day, when least expected, they swoop down upon a village, shoot ever}' one they can, lire the houses,and stampede and run off a i the stock, and in so short a time that before anyone realizes whaj has occurred they atrc_. gone.

' “1 was in Kingman, Ari., at the ; time, ami all the settlers from the. surI rounding country had been warned of | the danger and had flocked into town. Everyone went thoroughly armed, and I carried three lots of cartridges, a Winchester and two six-shooters, slept with my clothes on, did guard duty two nights a week, and at the end of a fortnight was so thoroughly disgusted with Indian lighting, along with several others, that a general disarmament occurred. About noon the next day a lone Indian, whom I recognized as ‘George,’ came slowly down the Grass Springs’ trail, and ivalked stolidly into my office. To my query as to whether lie was on the war-path, he said: “Hiko (white man) very much damn fool. Injun no light. Me no catchum eat for two days. Me very I hungry. Me very sick. You gimme two bit.’ j “I took George down to Sing Wa’s restaurant, back door, and the avidity with which he got outside of a bucket of potato peels and other provender convinces me that for once an Indian > had told ’he truth. The rest of the I ■ tribe came back in straggling squads i i soon after, ami the campaign in Ari- : zona was ended.” Wool Out of Fir-Tree Fiber. । They are making excellent wool out ■ of the liber of the fir free by means of electricity.

Smalley’s Picture of Bismarck. “He strides heavily in; it is but a sten from the door to the spot where , the scarlet portfolio is waiimgior him, but ihe weight of the step is what lust I strikes vou.’ It is not lassitude; it is i sheer physical bulk. He stands sixfeet two, and his frame is the frame of a giant. He is broad and square in the shoulders and deep-chested; the arms are big; the legs are big; and that part of the body which is intermediate between the legs and chest is big. not gross. He is as heroic in his physical proportions as in his character. The head is set on the shoulders I and almost into them with a singular | solidity and closeness. The man is all i of a piece—body and mind, as it were. I fused and wielded together. 1 aithiul as are many of the photographs, I rememher none which brings out plainly the helmet shape of the head, it is the head of Pericles, dome-like in its amplitudes as well as in its curve, with a breadth at the temples which its lowering height cannot disguise, and far overhanging the stern gray eyes, which look out as from caverns, deep fringed wit it grav eyebrows. There is no regularity of feature or of contour. The nose is short and carelessly molded; the mouth you must imagine, for a gray mustache shades it; the jaw is the jaw—well, of Prince Bismarck, and of him alone. The stamp of power, of irresistible force, is on face ami figure; into this one human f o rm. for once collected till her irie energies and subdued them to hisover- । mastering will.” Guinness and Bass. Guinness's porter is sold in Ireland at 4 cents a bottle; in this country it , costs 25 cents. Bass’ ale is sold in ! England at 4 cents a bottle; in this j country it costs 25 cents per bottle.

Sheridan gives his experience with Mexican pulque, as reported in the N. Y. I'r -s: “In the Hollman House case a couple of evenings ago a party of gentlemen । were discussing the national bi verages of various nations, When one of them I asked: ‘H ive you ever tried Mexieal pulque?’ The word has the sound of •pulky.' and there was a mo wont’s silence, nut ii Gen. George A. Sheridan. ! the politician, orator, lecturer, and ■ wit. replied: Well, vou can just her your sweet life that I have tried pulque, and don’t want any more of it 1 in mine.’ He went on in (his strain: •1 tried that tiger in his native jungle. I found him in his lair in the City of Mexico when I was down there five years ago. Os course I had numerous American acquaintances there, and they wanted Io be kind to me. and we i went into one of their places of resort, i and I was duly asked what I would ‘ have, with the suggestion that I should ‘ try pulque. It is the common Mexican I beverage, as they told me. and very I delightful. I tried it. The taste was 1 not pleasant on the first round, but the i effect was delightful. 1 took another, j and to my surprise the effect was just । the same. Teat is to say. I felt not I the slightest degree greater st m dation i or exhilaration than after I bad taken ; the lirst drink of it. I separated from these friends and met others who treated me with the ■ same consideration and kindness. I took more pulque. But it did not ! seem to intoxicate me or raise me , above a certain even degree of stimula- I tion, and I said to myself, this is the । most marvelous beverage I have run across. When 1 met other friends I tried more pulque. In all, by midnight. 1 think 1 tested ten or twelve glasses of the Mexican beverage. When I went to bed I was feeling splendid, but not in the slightest degree intoxicated. I woke up about 3 o'clock the j next day, and I pledge you my word j that if 1 know anything about my condition 1 was as tight as a club man after a spree. I didn't know where I was or what I was doing. It was three days before I recovered my senses enough to know that I was in the City of Mexico. You can bet your sweet life that I want no more pulque iu mine.’” Nature Adjusts Herself. Those people who are constantly figuring on a time when this old globe will not be able to supply 7 room and food for its inhabitants, will not find much to support their theory in the Registrar-General’s returns for last year for England and Wales. These ■ tables show that the excess of births over deaths has been steadily declining for the last live years. In 1889 the excess was 367.224. while nminli'i"- in "The results oUthe last two census years

the increase should have been 389,423. The birth rate was also remarkably low, being 2.5 per thousand below the average of the previous decade, while the marriage rate has not corresponded to the increased prosperity of the country. Nature has away of adjusting herself to man’s requirements which sometimes gives a setback to statisticians and theorists. — Philadelphia liecord.

No man or woman now living will ever "date a document without using the figure 9. It stands i in the third place in 1890, where it will remain ten | years and then move up to second place in 1900 i where it will rest for one hundred years. j There is another “9” which has also come to stay. • It is unlike the figure 9 in our dates in the respect ' that it has already moved up to first place, where i it will permanently remain. It is called the “No. j 9” High Arm Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine. ( The “No. 9” was endorsed for first place by tha 5 experts of Europe at the Paris Exposition of 1889, where, after a severecontest with the leading machines of the world, it was awarded the only Grand Prize given to family sewing machines, all others on exhibit having received lower awards of gold medals, etc. The French Government alio recognized its superiority by the decoration ot Mr. Nathaniel W heeler. President of the company, with the Cross of the Legion of Honor. The “No. 9” is not an old machine improved upon, but is an entirely new machine, and the . Grand Prize at Paris was awarded it as the grandest advance in sewing machine mechanism of the age Those who buy it can rest assured, therefore, of having the very latest and best.
