Ono of my companions, having made a bargain with the smith, handed him three English florins which he desired have manufactured into one bangle of the choicest East Indian design and workmanship. cu£ The coolie man the coins, them into narrow pieces, of which he welded the ends together, using hammer and anvil, thus a bar four or five inches long, and, as I remember, two or three lines width and thickness. Covering end of this strip of metal with damp clay, to protect his fingers from the heat, bangle maker stuck the silver into diminutive charcoal fire, which he aglow by blowing through a tube in appearance to a glass blower’s pipe. When the metal was at a dull red heat beat it soundly, forging it round smooth to the diameter of telegraph wire; then, carefully bending it in a circle, joined the two ends, welding them gether neatly and with dispatch. done, and the joint having been with a rough mass of hot silver into a ball of the size of a small cherry, the Hindu held out the half trinket for our inspection and approval. He next smoothed and polished the face of the ball by hammering; then graved and stamped it with various dies, cutting simple, conventional patterns of irregular design. Next, having selected a small serpent from an assortment of made devices and charms which ho in a cocoanut shell, he plunged it the fire, and blew through his until tho cobra became blood red. ing the reptile's tail between two bits moist clay, the Hindu drew it from fire, and, before it lost its angry hue, deftly corkscrewed tho emblem of mortality around the wire of the in four complete coils, all the time ping tho snake hero and thero with his mallet, in this way fastening securely in its place. Plunging the ment into a calabash of cocoanut oil, waited till the serpent ceased hissing, and the Indian bracelet was then to be clasped cn the wrist of ever gallant gentleman had in his when he found it in his heart to give order for it.—William Agnew Paton. A Midnight Fqncral at Sea. One of tho steerage passengers died few days after we left New York, and expected to witness a sea funeral, but matter was kept as quiet as possible no one seemed disposed to talk about it. The captain said it would have a ing effect on the passengers to see the buried, so he would not name tho when the funeral would take place. About 10 o’clock the next night one the passengers was walking aft and some of the sailors placing tho body a plain wooden box, and rushed with the intelligence. Going to the we saw them nailing on the lid, but concluded not to put him overboard we were all asleep; so we had to our curiosity for tho time being. midnight, however, the steamer for a few minutes, and those who were not asleep inquired the No reason was given, but those who on the after deck enjoying the on the sea, saw some sturdy sailors a hawser to the box and heave it board. There was a splash, then a was rung, the engine started and emigrant’s funeral was over Cor. more Sun, Mr. Vanderbilt’s Scotch Piper. A depressing intimation comes to from over the ocean that Scotch will soon be the rage with New York society. If such is the tho rage will extend generally out the community, and very few will escape it alive. Mr. W. K. bilt has employed a family piper, and is predicted that the example thus will be followed by many. Fuel will added to tho fire for pipers when wealthy Anglomaniacs discover, most people have known for a long time, that the Prince of Wales has at least piper, and perhaps more. As a a Scotch piper may be for a short tolerated in the haunts of civilization. But he belongs to the mountain and moor and the past, and leaves them, he comes to this country, at his New York World.

Washington, Jan. 12.—| specialj— There itre, perhaps, more newspaper men as members of this Congress than were ever before members of the same national legislative body. In speaking of this class it is under stood to mean that they are persons who have spent tho major part of their lives in the newspaper profes sioD, as editors and writers. There are some, of course, who are stock holders in pnpem, but were never accused of contributing anything to the columns of their paperss, unless it was to “boost” themselves up in the political firmauent. This class of gentlemen have been engaged in editing their “highly moral,'- if not widely circulated, journals, more from the counting room than up stairs in the dingy editorial sanct uarv, AMOS J. CUMMINGS. The best type of thorough news paper writers who have appeared in Congress for a great many years is found in Amos J. Cummings, late of the New York Sun, and Truman A. Merriman, a local political reporter on the same paper. There is no position on a great newspaper, from that of setting type to defending libel suits, which Cammings has not filled. He has set type iu every State in the UnioD, and after, leaving the “case 11 he became one of Horace Greelys best and most trusted lieu tenants. From the Tribune he went to the Sun where he has presided for years as the managing editor of that great papei. When the Even ing Sun was started last May, Mr. Cummings was made its editor in chief and practical manager, and to day it is the most widely circulated evening newspaper printed iu tho English language, Mr. Cummings said a few days ago that he rather eDjoved the life of a Congressman because it gave him rest and relieved him from a thousand anxieties and burdens which came to bim daily in the editorial management of a news paper. BIT OUTER MERRIMAN. Mr, Merriman, at the itme of his nomination as a candidate for Repre sentative in the Forty-ninth Con gress, was a reporter ou the Sun, and had been assigned by the city editor to report the proceedings of the convention that selected tim as the candidate. There was a division of opinion as to who should be placed as the candidate, which bor* evidence of breeding discord, when the name of Mr. Merriman was suggested as an acce[ftable compromise candidate. It was no sooner presented to the convention than he was unanimously nominated, and was elected by a majority of over twenty thousand votes. He made a good Represent ative, and was returned to this Con gress without opposition. On the night of Lis first nomination he re turned to the Sou office and wrote up the proceedings of the conven tion just the same as if another per son had been made the standard bearer, and all during the campaign he retained his modest position on the paper, und wrote a number of pleasant i , things . 1 ,- about , ,»•„», his opponent. f referring . . ins . but very rarely ever to own candidacy. MR. MMSE PHELAN, OF MEMPHIS, is another full-fledged newspaper writer, though he has always been an editor since his advent into journal ism, but has never had that training io the businees as has his New York colleague. He was never a reporter, but has missed the early trials and ro inances of the day and night bustlers in the search of “scoops 1 - tl at send c msternation to the offices of the hated contemporary. Mr. Phelan, however, is a vigorous writer, and as editor of the Memphis Avalanche wielded considerable influence in pol itical circles of the State, Mr. Phe l&A, it would appear, is not properly impressed with the dignity and high tilling of an editor, as he failed iu cqntributing a history of himself to tlm ti^n Congressional directory to men the fact of his high editorial po sition. He appears in the directory as a lawyer only. TIIK BOUNDING BUTELLE OF MAINE i* the editor and proprietor of the Bangor Whig, one of the largest and most influential papers Id bis State.

VIRGINIA JOURNALISTS. The youthful and scholarly Jacob Yost, of Virginia, is one of the bright shining lights of journalism of the Old Dominion. He began life as a printer, and for the past five years sat on the editorial tripod of tho Staunton Virginia. Senator Riddleberger, of the same State, is also a member of the fourth estate, having guided tho editorial pen of the Shenandoah Democrat. EDWARD SCULL, OF PENNSYLVANIA^ is the editor and proprietor of the Somerset Herald, and has been in the editorial harness for over twenty five years. The fiery Thomas M. Bayne, of Pittsburgh, is another who is a jour nalistof some prominence in the Key stone State. He is the political and financial head of the Pittsburgh Press. He is also the Treasurer of the Press News Association of the United States, a rival of the Associat ed Press. CALIFORNIA PENCIL SHOVERH. Thomas L. Thompson, of Califor nia, has been engaged in journalism since I860. He is the editor of the Sonoma Democrat, and has for years wilded great political influence in his section of the Golden State. Senator Ilearst, of the same State, is the proprietor of the San Francis co Examiner, the leading paper on the Pacific Slope, though it is edited and controlled by his young son, who has in the last two years developed into an enterprising journalist wiih out an equal iu the Western country.
