A Sad Disappslatmeiit.
At Sacramento the other day a
man was on liis last legs with
pneumonia. His life was insured
for several thousand dollars, and
it appeared to linn a little tough
that he was to get no fun out of
all this money. Determined to
do the best lie could under the
circumstances, he made a w ill that
lie thought would cover a portion
• if the ground. His will provided
that al his funeral every hack in
town should lie employed, and all
his friend* and acquaintances in
vited to attend and take a ridcaf
terward. All who attended were
aUo invited to paitieipate in
grand banquet in the evening at
ti.e hotel, at which a brass band,
which should lea l the funeral pro
cession, was to enliven the occa
sion with music. After making
his will lie was so tickled with the
idea of the whole affair, a* lie
could see it in his mind's eye, and
with the thought of what a large
sliceof the insurance he was thus
iiaving the fun of spending, that
he at or.ee began to mend, and in
spits nf himself got well. Now he
is as far as ever from the insur
.■nice money, nnd mourns the loss
if the grand banquet,

At about eight o'clock every
night one of the proctors, with bis
attendant "bull dogs,” sallies
forth into the streets, iiptels ami
billiard rooms of Oxford, collect*
ing fines for the university cheat.
As the penalty for being out after
dusk without cap and gewu is five
shillings, and the practice ia al
most universal, a rich harvest is
reaped from this field of labor.—■
An additional five shillings is
charged if the offence is aggrava-
vated by smoking.
There are occasions of course,
wheu it is inqiossiblc to avoid lin
ing “proclorized," hut the student
soon becomes accustomed to cer
tain signs which infallibly denote
a proctor's approach, and takes
steps to elude iiiin. The follow
ing are the ordinary symptoms;
Tlie street is abnormally empty;
a quick and steady tramp is heard
in the distance (this is most suspi
cious, for it is the fashion of un
dergraduates to lounge very slow
ly;) three men appear marching
close together, and at -ome dis
tance behind them a cap and gown
are discernable. Then it is 11 lull
to lie off.
When a capture is made the
victim is treated with xlahi- a o
politeness. It takes place some
what after this fashion: Jones is
returning from a concert, and lias
nearly reached his college gates,
wlieu suddenly, turning a sharp
corner, lie runs straight into th«
arms of a “bull dog.”
The man touches his hat. “It
you please, sir. the proctor wishes
to speak to yon.”
Before Jones lias recovered from
the shock, that functionary advan
ces, raises Ins cap w ith a bow,
and inquires:
“Areyou a member of this uni-
versify, sir?”
“Yes,” says Jones.
“What is yon r name and col
lege, sir?"
“Jones, of St. Boniface.”
“Will you piense call on Mr.
Hunter of All Saints at nine
o'clock to morrow morning? Good
night, sir.” And again raising his
hat he sails away, leaving Jones
sick at the thought of having been
caught withfb twenty yards of his
own rooms. — CauelVt Family

Wholesale Killing tf Babies.
A merchant in this city, not
long ago, visited Northwestern
Texas, and while there, stopped
at a United States Post. One day
a lot ol Indians came to trade wilt*
the Suttlcr. They hitched their'
ponies to an old fence that served
as a stockade around the Sutler's
tent, anil the squaws hung thsir
babies tqion the pickets in the
buffalo sack in which they carried
them o.t their backs. There were
ten of them all hanging along in
a row. While they were inside
trading, the Chattanooga man
went out to examine the ponies,
ami finding one very fine—one
hat was ridden by the chief—he
stepped up to it and slapped it on
the back with his hand. This
frightened it and caused it to jerk
hack and pull down the fence. It
tell on the children and killed six
of them, the other lour escaping
with but slight injury. The Chat'
anooga man says, that when he
saw what was done, he got into
the post double quick, and the In
dians never suspicioned that he
was the cause ol the mischief.—
They did not seem to take toe
calami tv verv greatly to heart, amt
seemed to thiuk it an accident.
