Episcopus in Ruj c Here is a good one on flic Episcopa lian;?, which, so far as the writer id aware, has never yet appeared in print, and therefore he contributes it for the benefit of the Drawer. Away out West in-State, in tltc valley of the Mississippi, at a time not very remote, when men were more tnlerrt on ''raking in the filthy"' than on securing an interest in the hank of glory everlasting; a /.?a lous missionary of the pcr?-is:\si.>n a'fb re said fremd' himself in' u c'o mm unity whose' religious View's wore no' less manifold and contradictory th'a'n' was to he expected fi?'nV the person rep're scti'tug every phase of denoiniualioiial lite. Finding out the three or four : eoimmu' tea uCs hehoVging to' hid ? ('httjvh, the missionary gave notice id' no "Mpi.-rop.'?l service/' tor that livening hi fi.V .-ciioo'l-.KpuVe, and cordial!., invited everybody to irtlcnd. Of course to the large imijo'rity e*f the inhabitants ihi.? wassoirietlri/ifg c'o'tiro ly novel?indeed; the pe'-sage of a circus through the village, or the actual halt of a niiu-tivl trhtt'i>\ could not have created :i ju*ofnutulcr sensa tion?und .-o ;'.t no early hour they commenced gathering in groups of two </r. three discussing "as to what kin I of a durn'd thing it was agoin' to be." . I'rotuineiit anioug the female, per lion of the throng was an aged sister, who enlightened the others by slating it, was a reg'lar sannint they were agoin' to have, and no confounded nieder lunibliii. Hut, the "sannint" was to hiMiftor the "Tiscopal'fash j ion, of which she had beam tell when a girl, but had never .seen; and as it wjis something bad, she believed, she was then: <?> interrupt hint if he didn't preach orthodox." Seating herself on the front bench, she eyed the preacher elo.ieiy, and j just before be commenced the ser vice, and w bile arranging bis robes, she beckoned hi in to her, and inform ell hint that she was there to inter* nipt him if he didn't preach orthodox: ?'Well, madam," he replied, "you won't interrupt, me if 1 do preach Orthodox V "Oh no! that 1 won't," she earnest ly exclaimed, ''but if you don't though I'll interrupt and expose you for sure!" Now, to make the exercises go oil" with Some degree of Episcopal de corum, the congregation was liberally supplied with prayer-books, and the few communicants were instructed to circulate among the people, "find the places" for the uninitiated, and lead the responses. Then rose the minister and with the prodigal's resolve, "I will arise and go to my father," etc., com menced the service, and won the old lady's heart, for it was her favorite passage, read and pray cd over often because of a wayward boy. Next in order was the "exhortation," in which she heard nothing objectionable; and then came the confession of sins. Right behind her one of the com municants aforesaid united his voice with the minister's, and had gotten as tar as "We have erred und strayed from Thy ways like lost sheep," etc., when the old lady turned, aud iu an nudihlo whisper said, "Hush ! hush ! that's all right; let the man have a chance to speak!" Lowering his voice, he kept comparatively quiet until the creed was reached, and here he thought, "In the Credo I must .set ah example, and confess Christ he lore men in the magnificent yet ample "1 believe5' of :ill Christian centuries." lly this time the self-appointed conservator of orthodoxy was in no mood to be trilled with; and so, while her baud firmly grasped her umbrella, she said, in tones sternly emphatic, "Look a-hyar, you durn'd cuss I didn't I tell you that was all right ? an* hyar you have been a-chatlcriu' every blessed m in it since Now you ought to be ashamed of yourself, and I don't want you to jaw any more to-night. That's orthodox enough for an Nody. The minister took in the situation, and Icing a practical mat), "pitched in," and gave them a rcdhot extern-., pore discourse, which the old lady, before she was aware, had endorsed with a whole series of honest ameui. At the conclusion she felt bound to apologize for her conduct before and during the sei vice, and so, seizing both of his hands, she thanked him for his Gospel sermon in language as unique as her manner was hearty : "You sec, mister, we; war n't sureof you; We only had beam loll of you 'lMscoprils a'forc, an* we were kind of skcered like;' but it's all right now, au' I want to toll you that I had nothing to do with those r*6Svdic3 hack there who' interrupted the service. Now we've had Locus preachers here, ah' we've had circus poachers, here, but we've never had any of your 'Piscopus preachers a'forc; an! you do preach orthodox, an' you can com'o back here any lime you want to, an' preach all night if you choose?if you do wear your shirt outside your breeches. - * ? ???Mil An Untimely June Bug. The other1 night. MWy ?laue .Tones' beau came up to sec her, and invited Mary Jane otft to have some i. c-eream and Fod:t water, which has a very exhilcialiivg effect on some, people, and it proved tobe the case with this young man. Just as soon as he had got that ice-cream down he began to think how nice it would he (ohave Mary Jane always with him, and then ho began to calculate how far $10 a week would go towardssupporlirig a family, and be concluded that with economy and management ou Mary Jane's part and some self-denial on his, such as not playing billiards but once a week, and limiting himself to, say leu cigars in that time, they might live very nicely. Provisions did not cost much, and Mary Jane'.'-clothes could hot be very expensive, say ?20 a year or so and?well, he calculated it all as he walked honii with her and resolved that night to know his fate. Alary Jane noticed that he was very abstracted and guessed the rea son and felt glad within herself that she hud put on her white dress and new bustle, feeling quite sure that these had done, the business, for what, young man can resist a white dress, let alone a hcaliful new bustle. When got to the front gale .the y saw that the front steps were fully occupied by the residue of the Jones family, so they sat down on a horse block under the .spreading maples and there he essayed to toll the story of his love. Just as lie got to where he was going to say in conclusion, "The world is a dreary waste to me without you, Mary Jane, will you marry me and share my hum bio cot," a big fat June bug dropped Irom overhead right down the back of Mary Jane's dress. She jumped up and gave a Modockiaii whoop and frantically clutched at the back of her neck und shouted catch him, "o-o-o wouch; catch him, he is killing me;" and the way she danced up and down scared the poor young man nearly to death, and brought the Jones family out headed by the old gentleman who made straight for the supposed "him" and kicked him off the sidewalk, rujning his new clothes and causing him to go right round the first corner home The neighbors helped catch' Mary jane, and some one made a raid down her back and brought forth tlio bug, and she wept sorely and trod it ruthlessly uudcr root, remembering what might have been if the bug hadn't been. Then she explained it all very clearly to those neighbors, but they smiled their nose in the air and remarked to each other privately to the effect of its heing a very likely story indeed that a .Inno bug should stir up such a fracas and got n young man kicked oil" the walk, they guessed. If the truth was known, etc. All this week Mary Jalio has gjjuctro?iid with dis heveled locks niAl ? has attained a cynronic squint from much watching through closed blinds Ibra form that don't, come; and hoi* young man stays within the fastness of the store and wonders and wonders; with :i pain that never dies, what ailed Mary ?Jane, and if they always act that way, and the evenings and mornings go right on and don't answer.? I)id'vit Free Itr?M'. Incidrients ot a Fight. Many sad but interesting incidents arc reported from the scene of Coster's operations. In anticipation of the hatiic the steamer Far West was pushed up the Big Horn to within fourteen miles of;the point fjyhere the ha!lie look plaoc. While, lying there ail Indian came in who was-known to have been with Cttstcr. Ho was ter ribly cast down and orcitcd, but could not make himself understood. Finally he.took a pcnciland paper, and drawing a fair sketch of the hat tie as it afterward proved, and in rude figures a few soldiers, o'uo' represent ing Caster surrounded hymen, the Indians represented by dots,eovei'ing the valley and tho hillsides,- and pointing h> a soldier, th'ftjjj to. his representation of Ouster's command, he lli c\v his hand to hi* bead, closed his eyes as in death, then went through the motions of scalping, sztying: '?Heap Sioux; soldier ncopec!"?in English : "Many Sioux; soldiers kill ed. Tire Crow Indian who escaped did so by rushing to the river and washing off his paint, and changing the dress of his hair, and putting on a .Sioux blanket, charged with the Sioux, escaping, however, when an opportunity presented, lie .says the Sioux completely enveloped Ouster, who killed his horses, used their re main > for breastworks, and fought desperately, the Indians charging his position time and agnin, lossing heavily?more, the Crow believed, than did Caster. One company, Captain Smith's tried.to cut its way to the rear, but all were killed, and their bodies lay some roils from Cas ter, all in a little.knut. Glister was among the last do fall. Colonel Crook, with his heavy Mowing beard, was the jast one standing that the Indian recognized. Caster's command having been finished, the Indians gathered their entire force about Ueno, leaving the squaws to mutilate the dead and torture the living. The remains bear many evidences of torture. The heads, of all nearly had been crushed with stone clubs, while in other cases their heads had been severed from their bodies. Tho entrails in many cases cad been taken out, and from many the limbs had been chopped oil; Other bodies were partially buried, a few were not found, but clothing belong ing to tliem was found and recognized. No trace was found of lieutenant Harrington's body or clothing. .Lieut. Dolludio, of Keno's comnnud, who, being cut oil' at the ford; hid in the bushes, relates that the troops of mounted men passed near him, one of whom was dressed in Tom Glister's clothing, lie callod to them: "For (lod's sake, Tom, don't leave mo here 1" and his cry was answered by a volley. He rushed for the river, and dropped down the steep bunk into a number of braves, who, frightened by the rush, got into the thicket, .and he escaped. He says he has never seen anything to compare with the terror of those few hours when the cavalry, surrounded by Indians, were trying to cut their way out to the river lord. The Sea Otter. Tho sea otter is found in greatest nhumhincc at the Saauach inland. The food i* mostly clams, muscles hud sea urchins, which they manage to seenic by striking two shells together, held hi the fore paws. "When broken they suck out the contents. Crabs, fish, and tho lender fronds of sea weeds also form their food. Unlike the seal they are hot polygamous. Hunters say they arc very playful, und that they have seen them on their backs in the water and tossing a piece of seaweed tip in the nir fro in paw to paw, hud apparently enjoying the sport of catching it. again befbr it foil into the water. The mothers sleep in the water oh their backs, with their young clasped between their fore paws. If surprised, she clasps the pup in her arms and turns her back on the danger. They arc extremely wary, and hunters when they go to Saaiiaeh island avoid making a fire or scattering refuse, food. Their suH?r ings, encamped for weeks on a barren island with no fire, and the thermom eter below zero, arc very groat. The sea otter will take alarm from a lire kindled lour or five miles to wind ward of them, and Prof. 1*11 Hot! says that the "footstep 61 man must he washed bp many tides before its trace ceases to alarm the animal and drive it from landing there should it appro ach for that purpose." One method of capturing them is by "spearing surrounds." This consists in sur rounding a sea otter with a. parly of men in fifteen or twenty canoes. One canoe darts towards the animal, which usually dives. The canoe slops over tire point where he sunk, while the 61 hers range' themselves in a cir cle half' a mile wide around him. Within fifteen minutes or half an hour he reappears, and the nearest canoe moves rapidly toward him, which eoih jnds hint to dive again he fine ho can recover himself. Tins process being repeat eil, often for two or three hours, the sea offer at last suffers so much from interrupted respiration that heislillcd with gasscs and cannot sink. True Love Out of Fashion. The country never possessed so many beautiful marriageable young women as if docs at the present time. And why do we not have more mar riages ? Wo answer, says the Albany Ar?fus, because marriage for love is the exception and not the rule. The young people of this age have gone fashion and money mad. If the dandy bank clerk who pays one-half of his income for board and tho other half for clothes cannot improve his condi tion ho will not marry. The shop girl who earns good wages and can not be distinguished by her dress from the banker's (laughter certainly will not plunge into matrimony unless she can better her condition in life. If a man is fortunate enough to possess money, it matters not how old or ugly he may be, hundred.-; ot intelligent, handsome young women can be found .inly too willing to become his wife. Love is an after consideration; They marry to be supported and dressed extravagant!y. 11)W often do we hear the remark : "Better to be an old man's darling than a poor man's slave.'* Alas ! too many of them are not satisfied lo bo darlings. They will ! persist in loving other men after they tiro married. It cannot be denied j that a irrcat number of umn rried men arc ad veu In lei's looking for wives who can keep them without working for a living. The peace and content incut of a happy home are not taken into consideration. They are willing lo sillier a hell upon earth if they can he kept in idleness. If our young people do not abandon this cxtrav agencc of dress and greed for money our country will bo filled with old | bachelors and oi l maids. Wo must have mure genuine courtships and marriages to have prosperity und hap piness in this world. Tco many marry for money, only to be disappointed and unhappy the re.-t of their lives. Cremation of Mr. .Henry Berry. The will of the late Henry Berry, dated 18C2, provided' for tho disposi tion cf his body nftlei1 death by ere- . maliou, and, hr addition to certain ineinbers of his family^ designates a Mr. II u Ion as guardian over this provision of the will, being deter mined there should be no failure for . the want of proper persons lo dispose ' of the body as desired. For' his services wo arc informed Hulon was receive a tract of bind worth 8700- " and a pair of mules. In addition to the selection of the .spot and ihc trees to be used for fuel on the occasion, Mr. I lorry expressly desired that nothing should be done which would in any way indicate the spot on which his body was buried. He died 0:1 the Ulli hist., in the 81st year of his age. On Monday the funeral services were performed by lie*'. T. P. Lide, Jr., ami on Tuesday morning prepu tions were made for the cremation of the body. It was neatly enclosed in' a ease, the funeral pile formed bv placing on the ground a number of logs of immense fci/.e, which wore covered with :i thick layer of kind ling wood. The box containing the corpse was then placed thereon and covered by an immense quantity of wood. The funeral pile, when cpni pleted,presented the appearance of a pyramid aud [the amount of wood used iu disposing of the remains' is. estimated at from eight lo ten cords, more being added as tho flames de creased the.si/.c of the pile. At 8 o'clock a. n>. the wood was fired 011 .' all four corners, and, in consequence of the combustible nature of the ma terial, was eoou envchq>ed in ono mass of fiamcs. The body was en- " tit'dly consumed-in about six hours -, so that nothing remained excopt tho ashes.' ' m The Discovery of of Greenland. Though Iceland was thus settled by the Vikings, and although theso sea rovers still followed their wavo wandering life, we must beliovc that they wcro no longer tho "pyrates" of the mainland. Onci of thcsosailora was Gunnbiorn, who. drivon westward by a storm, soon after thoseltUmont of Iceland, fell upon the shoros of (! reenlund, to which region he gavo the name of Gunnbioru's rocks. He made his way home again, for tho strait between Greenland and Iceland is not so wide but (me may see tho. shores of each, when midway betweou them, of a clear day. He gave, liko all discoverers, a very glowing ac count of his new land, but nono weut thither until the next century. In l>Sf>, Erie the Rod, who, liko Ingulf, had been obliged to quit his own country on account of his vio lence and crimes, went to the new land in the west. He established.a home for himself, and three years later, lie was back in Iceland with a wonderful tale. In the quaint langu age of the chronicle: "In order to entice people to go to his new country, he called it Greenland, ami painted it as such an excellent place for pasture, wood and fish, that tho next year ho was followed thither by twonty-fivo ships full of colonists, who had furnished themselves richly with household goods and cattle of all sorts; but only fourteen of theso ships arrived." The other eleven, we are left to surmise, were wrecked on tho way.?.SV. NicholasJar July. A philosophical woman writes to inquire: "Why is it that just at tho moment when a young man finds out that his girl will have him he wants lo back out of tho engagement? Wo give up the conundrum.
