FITNKRAI. CEREMONIES AT I.OWEn LAKE,
CALIFORNIA.
Lower lake, (CUL) Bulletin. |
After the grave (a round hole of
about five feel in diameter and the
same in depth) had been prepared un
der a brush house adjoining the cab
in of tin-dead Indian, the body was
carefully carried out on a blanket
and quilt, and placed alongside the
opening. The medicine man then be
gan the funeral rites, which, in part,
ousisted of blowing a small whistle,
and the shaking and rattling of split
sticks, which made a peculiar noise
like nothing but itself. After this had
been kept up for some time, accom
panied with the low, plnlntive waits'
ol'lhe squaws who were sitting around
the grave, and the louder lament of
those in the house, the medicine man
then pronounced a eulogy upon the
dead, and exhorted the living. His
language was accompanied with ex
pressive gestures, lie pointed to the
sky, to the ground, to each of the four
rardinal points, and, finally, into the
grave itself, conveying the idea 1 that
after we had lived and enjoyed the
things of this world, and wandered
far anil near over the earth, the time
would come when a final separation
>f body and spirit must take place;
and while the spirit ascended to*re
tails above, Ihc body must go into
ihc ground and remain there, at least
lor a time, lie then took Hie small
whistle used by him and placed it in
ilit- month of the body, after w hich,
with closed eyes and uplifted liiiud,
lie engaged in an invocation of some
kind.
At the close of this Rosa, the wife
of the dead man, came from Hit-
liuusc and cast herself full length
upon the body. She removed tM
-overing from Joe's breast, and, after
he hud laid her head upon it, the
rovering was replaced, aud her voire
oiild be heard in low tones, as if
bidding the departed a last farewell.
After this a feather bed was brought
out from the house aud laid in tin-
grave, the body was placed upon it
in a half sitting position, his gun,
liat, shoes, some food, a basket con
taining silver coin, Indian money,
beads and feathers, were also put in
with him. On top of all was thrown
a straw bed. Rosa again began her
lamentations, and, with a loud scream
tried to throw herself into the grave,
but was withheld by a stout young
squaw, who held her in her arms un
til the grave was filled. The first
few handfuls of dirt were thrown
into the grave by the squaws; the
men, then, with shovels, filled it up.
After the dirt had been replaced, one
of the squaws with her hand smooth
ed it over and obliterated all the
tracks made by the workers. The
medicine man again circles the gravc
three times, stopping each time at
the cardinal points, turning complete
ly around, and finished by blowing
the breath from his month and nos
trils upon it.
Before digging the grave a number
of chicken- belonging t)> the dead
man were killed and placed at Inter
val.- around the spot selected for se
pulture, at a distance of twenty-five
or thirty feel from it. The body wa-
rlothed with a new shirt and panta
loons, the forehead anil eyes covered
with a badge of white beads, and u
crown or head dress above all. Th
cries and lamentations of the women
were so plaintive and their grief
seemed so sincere, that there were but
few dry eyes among the white by
standers who had come to sec the
last of old Joe Poloke. Before the

We have received a letter from tie-

M. Mingay, of lYuu Villi., N. Y., had
just returned from the Imltlc field of
Gettysburg. Among t li e relies
brought Imek by him was nn ninliro-
tvpe, found ii|ion the remains of a
Confederate soldier, buried on Hie
right flank of the Union lines. It is
a clear nnil distinct picture now, al
though buried fifteen years. The fig-
ures aro it motliei- nnil two beautiful
.lUUgliUtrs, the children being appar

of age. It was found on the farm of
David Blocker, on Blocker's bill,
about one mile from Gettysburg, on
ground Occupied byGoi-don’slirignde
on the morning of July I, ISIKI. Mr.
Mingny believes it was the grave of
a member of Hie Thirty-first Georgia
Regiment. Mr. Mingay wsisasoldior

York Volunteers during the war.—
He intends to hare Hie picture en
graved and published iu one of tln-
New York illustrated papers, for
recognition, so that friends may re
claim the'remains, if the ph-ture shall
be recognized.
Should this mei-l the eye of any one
who had relatives in that regiment,
it wonld no doubt prove a source of
moufhful pleasure to see these pio-
tlire-, and secure the original photo

wonld send to the claimant.

Could Ihe “gentle hard” who set
the changing “Seasons" to such tune
ful notes look forth from his peaceful
orner of the ancient Church of St.
Mary Magdalene, Riehmoiid, would
his kindly heart regret or rejoice to
so fair anil large a town creeping
up the heights Hint overhung his well
beloved “vale of bliss?”
His own modest dwelling, after un
dergoing many shifting fortunes, has
now become a refuge for the ailing
poor; the “Star and Garter's” bloom
ing terrace steps out into the forest of
waving elms that whisper down the
sloping hill-side; while of the an
ient “hiss of Richmond Hill” naught
now remains hut. a cellurand a name.
The low and rambling roofs that,
once but sparsely showed themselves
among the tree-tops have expanded
into hundred of solid mansions, and
instead of post boy’s winding horn
Hie short, wild cry of sutlden-loosen-
d steam startles the fragrant air.
Bill in the new days, as in the old,
Ihe claim of Richmond to her ancient
title of Shine nr Sheen, the Shining
or the Beautiful, remains uncontesteil,
and a Voiding lo her pleasant shades
is a sweet'alftiiinn call which it rare
ly enters into Ihe heart ot lima io re
sist.
Time only mellows the the green
luxuriance of these eternal hills
whose feet rest in the windingThauies,
and a sail up that cool bine tide while
the dew upon its banks is yet spark
ling with the sun-glints upon the wa
ter, drifting back as shadows deepen,
and tlie nightingale's note of “linger
ing sweetness long drawn out,” sings
in the gentle twilight, is a calm
and restful uumnieriayl whose charm
seems ever fresh and new.
And even when the warm blue
skies have lost themselves iu the chil
ly gray, and the restless waves toss
poor dead leaves instead of sunbeams
to and fro, when, instead of lark and
nightingale, the sighing wind alone
beats a rhythm to the unquiet waters'
rush, the vale of Sheen, hersoft green
lAantle changed to one of white, has
still a strange pathetic beauty all her
own. In June she is enchanting; and
iu January—enchanting still! Na
ture iu a moment of joyous abandon
seems to have woven with fond and
cunning hand a perfect harmony of
woodland and water, of hill and Hale,
that should defy both time and change.
Other towns may rise into repute to
be admired, then neglected, and then
often filially left to slumber anew in
their pristine dullness; but to Sheeu,
the beautiful, inconstant man is con
stant still.
And no long tables, w hose convives
breakfast upon hope, ami dine—
alas! how often !—upon despair, en
tice him hither with their shining
heaps of gold; no wondrous healing
springs, that cause the blind, the halt,
ami the hum: to shout for joy, disport
their waters iu the sunshine. The
“Parade,” too, and the ubiquitous
“Band” are alike “conspicuous by
their absenceanil even the one
poor theatre, built beneath the watch
ful eye of Garrick himself, and echo
ing almost, the last words of the im
mortal Keane mourns in silence the
glory of departed days. The idler in
Thomson's “enchanting vale” fcov-
ets not the shifting pools ot gold that
Deck the hill-side; he is glad to drink
in Ihe lienlthfiil breeze in the lieu of
nauseous waters; and nature, with
her rust lie" forests and choirs of
sweet-voiced birds, lias set the “ra

Straus’s seducing strain can never
liope to rival—Clara F. Morse, in
Harper's Mtojazine for September.
'The Use of an Enemy.
Always keep an enemy in hand—a
brisk, hearty, active enemy.
1. The having one is proof that you
are somebody. Wishy-washy, empty,,
worthless people never have enemies.
Men who never move never run
against anything; aud when a man is
thoroughly dead anil utterly buried,
nothing ever runs against him. To
be run against is proof of existence
and position: to run against some
thing is proof of motion.
2. An enemy is, to say the least, not
partial to you. He will not flatter.
He will not exaggerate your virtues.
It is very probable that he will slight
ly magnify your faults. The benefit
of that is twofold—it permits you to
know Hull you have faults, and are,
therefore, not a monster, audit makes
them of such a size as to be visible
and manageable. Of course, if you
have a fault you desire to know it;
when you become aware that you
Jiave a fault you desire to correct it.
Your enemy does for you this valua
ble work wliieh vour friend cannot
perform.
3. In addition, your enemy keeps
von wide awake. He does not let
you sleep at your post. There are two
that always keep watch, namely, the
lover ami the hater. Your lover
watches that you may sleep. He
keeps oft' noises, excludes light, ad
justs surroundings, that nothing may
disturb you.

people; their representative, embody
ing aud expressing their rights as
well us tlicir will. The official duty
of ascertaining and declaring this
choice rested with the two houses of
Congress. The art devolved upon
them was simple; it was to ascertain
and decide upon the merits of Un
case. In the event ol' disagreement,
it was the duty of representatives tu
electa President. In this emergency,
all that was necessary to do was, to
stand tinn by the constitution and
the laws. This was not done. The
record shows that Mr. Tildcn was a
courageous and safe leader at that
time; aud there is no doubt, if his ad
vice had been followed, that Hie peo
ple would not hnve been defrauded
of their choice for President. But
the plan of iutimidatiug the Senate
aud the House succeeded. They
yielded less than their rights, from
the fear that, they would be blamed
for claiming more than was their due;
they abandoned the constitutional
right of a lawful count of the vote,
from fear of being falsely accused of
disturbing the public peace. Surely
th(jr*r'**ts.nq. necessity of surrender
ing before they had been beaten- It
xvus time enough to yield to the force
of federal bayonets when such usur
pation had been successful. Mean
time it was the right of the people’s
representatives to insist upon tlic con
stitutional count. The record shows
that no one saw more clearly that the
path6 of dutv and of victory were the
same than did Mr. Tildcn. Ilis wis
dom in counsel will bear the test of
the closest scrutiny, now that it is
subject to calm review. The times
called fora resolute assertion of right,
united with the utmost prudence.—
With timidity on one hand or rash
ness on the other, defeat was certain.
Mr Tilden exhibited neither timidity
uor rashness, and fully vindicated
the action of the people in electing
iiim President. His course since that
time lias even been more heroic. He
lias carefully abstained from any art
inconsistent with the dignity or tlie
patriotism of a rightful President
wrongfully deprived of his office.—
When the history of,the times shall be
impartially writlen.'thc highest hon
or will be' given Samuel J. Tilden,
for wisdom and decision of his coun
sel when his advice was sought; and
when silence became a duty, for his
patient snft'eriiig under the grave-1
wroug ever committed against the
rightful ruler of people.

Civility and Ceremony.—Nothing
is more honorable and pleasant than
civility, nnil nothing more ridiculous
mid burdensome Hum ceremony. Ci
vility teaches us to hcluivc with pro-
portionali: respect to every one, nc-
cording as their rank requires and
their merits ilcmanils. In otlier
words, civility is the science of men
of llu- world. A person of good ad
dress, who conducts herself with iluc
circumspection, conciliates the love
mul esteem of society, because every
one finds herself at ease in her com
pany ; but a ceremonious u nman is
lire plague of her acquaintance. Such
a one requires too much attention to
be a pleasant associate ; is to* seldom
satisfied with what is paid her, and
every moment feels her pride hurt by
tin: want of some frivolous etiquette.
You cannot be too foi-imil to her, nor
can sin- dispense with her formalities
lo others. In short, ceremony was
invented by pride, to lim-rnss us with
puerile solicitudes which we should
blush to In- conversant with.

The Texas Cotton Crop.
Houston Telegnu.tth.)
To the agreeable and astonishing
surprise of everybody, no cotton
worms worthy of much note bare as
yet appeared in tbe crop of Texas. Il
is now the 7th day of August,and not
a single acre ia aa yet reported as de
vastated by tbem. The crop ia par
tially beyond their reach, the top cro;
being opened or rapidly opening, am
Hie middle or lower bolls so rapidly
maturing as to give hope that they
too will escape the great enemy. Up
to the hour of writing, not a single
disaster lias overtaken the cotton crop
of Texas, but ail things, from the
hour Ihc seed was sown to the pres

of the grandest crop ever reaped. In
