WEEKLY EIM GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1839 THE HINDOO SUTTEE. Burning on the Funeral Pyre of her Deceased Husband. From the Calcutta Bengalese. In the remote village of Gader Dehee, in the district of Bauhurah, there are to be seen two small tombs on the bank of a small lake containing the holy ashes of a young lady who burned herself alive on the funeral pyre of her deceased husband. The name of the husband of the lady was Brahamand Gossain, and he died of fever in the morning. She wept not, but sat by the body of her dead husband. How we wished that she could give vent to her feelings and relieve herself. But no, she sat and uttered neither a sigh nor a groan. At last she rose and proceeded straightway toward the Tkakoor Baree to the image of the god Krishna. There she went, followed by many men and women, and prostrated herself before the god. Then she stood and began to divest herself of the ornaments she had on her person. One by one she took them and placed them at the foot of the god, for the first time speaking: "Here, my Lord, take them; I need them no longer." And then she slowly came back to where the body of her husband was lying covered. She then addressed her brother-in-law, and she said: "Prepare for the ceremony of cremation, as you know I can't live without him. I must accompany him." Though her relations, friends and neighbors had all suspected that something serious was impending, the first announcement was received with a shock which could not be described. Then followed dissuasions, and her friends, rela- GOOD ADVICE. Mr. R. S. Burdette, he of the Hawkeye, gives the following advice to a young man: "My son, when you hear a man growling and scolding because Moody gets $200 a week for preaching Christianity, you will perceive that he never worries a minute because Ingersoll gets $200 a night for preaching atheism. You will observe that the man who is unutterably shocked because F. Murphy gets $150 a week for temperance work, seems to think it all right when the barkeeper takes in twice so much money in a single day. The laborer is worthy of his hire, my boy, and he is just as worthy of it in the pulpit as he is upon tha stump. Is the man who is honestly trying to save your soul worth less than the man who is trying his level best to go to Congress? Isn't Moody doing as good work as Ingersoll? Isn't John B. Gough as much the friend of humanity and society as the bar-tender? Do you want to get all the good in the world for nothing, so that you may be able to pay a high price for the oad? Remember, my boy, the good things in the world are always the cheapest. Spring water costs less than corn whiskey; a box of cigars will buy two or three Bibles; a gallon of old brandy costs more than a barrel of flour; a 'full hand' at poker often costs a man more in twenty minutes than his church subscription amounts to in three years; a State election costs more than a revival of religion; you can sleep in church every Sunday morning for nothing, if you are mean enough to dead-beat your lodging in that way, but a nap in a Pullman car costs you two dollars every time; fifty cents for the circus, and a penny for the little DECISIONS. RECISION OF CONTRACT.—A recission of contract on the ground of fraud must be claimed promptly on the discovery of frailty or the right will be lost on the ground of quiescence.—Crutchfield vs. Stanfield, preme Court of Texas. PROMISSORY NOTE.—Where the promise corporate name of a corporation is set out by its officers, the note is the obligation of the corporation, not the personal obligation of those whose names are signed to it.—New Market Savings Bank vs. Gillet, Supreme Court of Illinois. COMMON CARRIER.—A statute of Illinois which prohibits a common carrier from littering its common law liability, does not prevent such carrier from limiting its liability where the shipper refuses to inform the carrier of the value of the goods at the time they were shipped.—Mather vs. American Express Company, United States Circuit Court, Northern District, Illinois. CONSPIRACY OF EMPLOYES.—It is a conspiracy for which parties are liable to indictment and prosecution for a number of workmen acting in concert to stop work upon the partial completion of a task which it would be ruinous to delay, and thus advantage of and endeavor to force the employers to yield to a demand for an advance of wages.—Vulcan Steel Works of St. Louis vs. Eight of its Workmen, St. Louis County Criminal Correction. BUILDING CONTRACT.—A builder made written contract to build a dwelling according to plans and specifications, the material placed them at the foot of the god, for the first time speaking: "Here, my Lord, take them; I need them no longer." And then she slowly came back to where the body of her husband was lying covered. She then addressed her brother-in-law, and she said: "Prepare for the ceremony of cremation, as you know I can't live without him. I must accompany him." Though her relations, friends and neighbors had all suspected that something serious was impending, the first announcement was received with a shock which could not be described. Then followed dismaisons, and her friends, relations and neighbors all began to dissuade her to no purpose. The uncle-in-law, the mother-in-law, whom a Hindoo lady is bound to revere next to her God, commanded and then earnestly pleaded with her to forbear; but she was not to be moved. Then came the guroo, the purhit, whom, as her spiritual guides, she was bound to obey. They tried their best, but she was determined. Time rolled on, and she wavered not for a moment. Then the last device was resorted to. Her fears were appealed to; they described to her the horrible and painful sufferings of a living man upon a funeral pile. At first she disclaimed to give replies to their appeals to her fears, but at last, when obliged to say something, she said: "You need not be anxious; my soul has fled with my lord. As for bodily sufferings, I shall show you that I need not apprehend them." There was a lamp burning, under the usual custom, by the corpse, and she put one of her fingers upon the slow fire of the lamp. and burnt it without wincing. Crowds had then collected from all parts of the country. It was then about 4 P.M., and the corpse was carried to the burning ghat on the bank of the small lake, only about a couple of hundred yards from the house, and the lady followed, followed by thousands of men chanting "Haribale." The crowd then began to collect dry fagots, and heaps were gathered in a moment. While the funeral pile was in the process of being prepared the corpse was bathed, and the lady herself performed her ablutions. She then put vermilion on her forehead, and dressed herself in a new Saree (cloth for ladies), and then slowly entered the funeral pile. Her hair was properly adjusted by her friends, and they aligned her with garlands and wreaths of flowers. The crowd then with tearful eyes begged of her blessings and some tokens from her to be kept in remembrance of her self-sacrifice. She was supplied with cowries, plantains, betelnuts, etc., and she began to throw handfuls of them among the crowd. She then laid herself by the corpse of her husband in the posture of warm embrace. She gave the order, and the pile was lighted in several places, and there was at once a blazing fire. The Suttee raised her right hand and began to utter the name of Horee, turning her hand round and round. She was dead before the fire reached her sacred person. Thus a Hindoo widow ended her life on the funeral pyre of her husband. Her husband was dead, and the world appeared to things in the world are always the cheapest. Spring water costs less than corn whiskey; a box of cigars will buy two or three Bibles; a gallon of old brandy costs more than a barrel of flour; a 'full hand' at poker often costs a man more in twenty minutes than his church subscription amounts to in three years; a State election costs more than a revival of religion; you can sleep in church every Sunday morning for nothing, if you are mean enough to dead-beat your lodging in that way, but a nap in a Pullman car costs you two dollars every time; fifty cents for the circus, and a penny for the little ones to put in the missionary box; one dollar for the theatre, and a pair of old trousers, frayed at the end, baggy as to the knee, and utterly bursted as to the dome, for the Michigan sufferers; the dancing lady who tries to wear the skirt of her dress under her arms and the waist around her knees, and kicks her slipper clear over the orchestra chair every night, gets $600 a week, and the city missionary gets $600 a year; the horse-race scoops in $2,000 the first day, and the church fair lasts a week, works twenty-five or thirty of the best women in America nearly to death, and comes out $40 in debts Why, my boy, if you ever find yourself sneering or scolling because once in a while you hear of a preacher getting a living, or even a luxurious salary, or a temperance worker making money, go out in the dark and feel ashamed of yourself, and if you don't feel above kicking a mean man, kick yourself. Precious little does religion and charity cost the old world, my boy; and when the money it does give is flung into his face, like a bone to a dog, the donor is not benefited by the gift, and the receiver is not, and certainly should not, be grateful. He is insulted." The Postoffice and the Sabbath. New York, December 29th. The presentation in the United States Senate of a memorial from citizens of California for the abolition of labor on Sunday in the postoffices of the country has not excited any great hopes among the clerks of the New York office. About one-third of the clerks employed in sorting a large proportion of the distributing clerks and some of the carriers who serve as collectors report for duty on Sunday. The business of the office could scarcely be disposed of without Sunday work when the ocean mail steamers arrive at this port. Sunday morning, a force of men who are liable to be called at any time are set to work in order that the mail may be disposed of before another steamer arrives. Letters deposited at the office must be distributed on the day they are received, or there will be confusion. Postmaster Pearson smiled yesterday when the project of the California memorialists was mentioned to him. He said if anybody had scrubles on the subject he need not call for his letters, but there was no need of interfering with those who found it necessary to have their letters on CONSPIRACY OF EMPLOYEES—It is a common spiracy for which parties are liable to pay dues and prosecution for a number of workmen acting in concert to stop workers upon the partial completion of a task which it would be ruinous to delay, and thus advantage of and endeavor to force the employers to yield to a demand for an advance of wages.—Vulcan Steel Works of St. Louis vs. Eight of its Workmen, St. Louis County Criminal Correction. BUILDING CONTRACT.—A builder made written contract to build a dwelling according to plans and specifications, the materials and work to be accepted by an architect who was to superintend the construction. The builder, under directions of the architect, did extra work. Held, that he deriding of this work was beyond the scope of his agency, and the owner was not liable therefor.—Starkweather vs. Goodman, Supreme Court, Connecticut. MONEY PAID INTO COURT.—Money paid into Court by a defendant is an absolute mission that so much is due upon the claim of the plaintiff and is so far a payment pending the litigation; and in event he may prosecute his action for this remainder of his claim, subject to the reduction of paying costs if he recovers no more than the tender.—Ye Seng Company vs. Cordley & Macleay, United States Circuit Court District of Oregon. TITLE.—It cannot be held that where pledge-money notes are made payable to third person and a mortgage to secure that is also executed to a third person, the title remains in the vendor. He cannot default of payment, exercise the right to enter upon the land or to sue for and cover it, because he does not possess sufficient right. He has parted with the land after it for it. And it would not be reinvested him by a reassignment to him of the mortgage or a retransfer to him of the notes. Cassidy vs. Franklin, Texas Court of Appeals. VENDOR AND VENDEE.—Plaintiffs sold their defendant 100 barrels of flour then handed up their railway company as a carrier for which defendant agreed to pay $500.The sale was effected on 'Change in its usual way,' by delivering to the purchaser sample of the goods with the inspector certificate,and an order onthe carriera cheker's checktotheorderofthecarrierforthefreight.Beforetheplaintiffcollectedhismoney,thegoodsweredestroyedinthehandsofthecarrier.Held,thewasagooddelivery,andthatthegovernereatthepurchaser'srisk.-Muellerv Guye,St.LouisCourtofAppeals.

Her husband was dead, and the world appeared to her dreary waste. She was determined to follow her lord to the unknown world, undeterred by the solicitations of her friends, and relations of worldly pleasures. Her fears were appealed to, but in vain. She felt she could not live a moment without her lord; she must accompany him; and, under the influence of this overwhelming impulse, she entered the flames without the least display of fear, and with an alacrity which surpasses all description. We ask, who can contemplate this spirit-stirring scene, this wondrous spectacle, without feeling a sort of veneration for the lady who thus offered herself as a sacrifice on the altar of connubial duty? May her spirit rest in peace, and from its place in the heavens shed light upon her surviving brothers and sisters, and upon her countrymen, and inspire them with courage in the accomplishment of their ends in life. LYNCHBURG (Va.), December 27th.—So great was the indignation among the whites here at the arrival of the Uncle Tom's Cabin Company and the five bloodbounds, which were paraded about the streets, that it was believed it was impracticable to have any performances here. Being interviewed as to the cause at this late date, some of the old slaveholders say it is an outrage and a gross misrepresentation of the South, and should not be countenanced. Many assert that bloodhounds were never used in most of the States. The company was generally frowned down in southern cities, and last night, at Richmond, had only twelve auditors. Their play was broken up at Norfolk by the public clamor. Sunday morning, a force of men who are liable to be called at any time are set to work in order that the mail may be disposed of before another steamer arrives. Letters deposited at the office must be distributed on the day they are received, or there will be confusion. Postmaster Pearson smiled yesterday when the project of the California memorialists was mentioned to him. He said if anybody had scrubles on the subject he need not call for his letters, but there was no need of interfering with those who found it necessary to have their letters on that day. The amount of work done on Sunday is about one-third of that done on other days. Heavy newspaper mails and foreign mails furnish large part of the regular work. Artificial Wine. In England recently a physician of Jersey, Collennette by name, gave a lecture on the "Manufacture of Old Crusted Port." One of the audience was requested to purchase from a local wine merchant of repute a bottle of port, for which he paid six shillings. This, with cobwebs, etc., was deposited on the lecturer's table. Dr. Collennette then stated he would, in the course of a few minutes, produce a similar article at a cost of five farthing. A judge—a gentleman said to be well qualified—was then elected by the meeting. A committee was chosen to come on to the platform and witness the operation; this consisted in weighing out ingredients. The basis of the composition was cider; bullock's blood was used for a rich tawny color; tartaric acid to give age, cream of tartar mixed with gum water was smeared on the inside of the bottle and gave a beautiful crust. Outside, cobwebs with dust and whitewash were applied to give an ancient look, and the bottle was stoppered with a well-stained cork. The expert was introduced, and tasted a glass from each bottle, declaring, with a knowing wink at the audience, that the wine a la Collennette was the genuine article. The temperance audience of course applauded to the echo. You can keep your hair abundant and glossy, and retain its youthful color, with Parker's Hair Balsam. Labor Troubles. Chicago, December 30th.—Many reports are received of manufactories shutting down and throwing men out of work. These gree- color to the rumors of the workingmen rising and labor troubles in the near future. The turbulent workingmen who have given trouble in the past years are still busy, and many form extensive strikes and great disaster unless some new element steps in to lessen the chance of strikes and of employers closing their works. The following has been received from Cleveland: A sensation has been created by a notice posted in the large shops of the Cleveland Rolling Mills' Company announcing the closing of the Bessemer Steel Works until further notice. This includes the rails mills, the two rod mills, the booth mill, two bar mills, the puddling mills, the guide mills and several smaller ones. It throws out employment at least one thousand men. No body will say how long the mills will be closed. They have no work. President Chisholm says they are shut down only temporarily; that when the stock is taken and repairs made they probably will resume. A French chemist claims to have discovered a method of overcoming the danger threatening vineyards from the ravages of the phylloxera. His process is to inoculate thieves with the phenol poison. The phylloxera do not attack plants thus treated, and are extirpated for want of food. The vine are in no way injured by the inoculation process. Time and Expense Saved. Hard workers are subject to bilious attacks which may end in dangerous illness. Parker's Ginger Tonic keeps the kidneys and liver active, and by preventing the attack saves sickness, time and expense.—L trot Press. GAZETTE. ANUARY 6, 1883. NO. 13 DECISIONS.

By the way, Ballard Smith tells a story of a North Carolina wedding. It runs this way: It was in the Carolina backwoods, a country couple and a country parson. Though a Baptist, the minister wore an old surplice. When he had finished the ceremony he said: "An' them 'uns who God hath joined"— "Stop that, parson," said the groom; "don't say them 'uns, say these 'uns!" "John," said the parson, "I tech you at school, and I say them 'uns." "These 'uns," shouted the groom, drawing his pistol. The parson, seeing the movement, fired through his surplice, and the groom dropped dead—winging the parson as he went down. There was a lively fusilade of perhaps thirty shots. When the smoke cleared away a half dozen men were on the floor. The bride, peeping over the pulpit to which she had fled for refuge, gazed mournfully on the scene and said: "Them self-cockin' pistols is a playing hell with my prospecks!" Of course the story is an impossible one, and yet, said Mr. Smith: "That is the staple story of the South that is circulated and believed throughout the North. While such a thing could hardly have happened in North Carolina any more than in New York, the average Northern man smiles incredulously when you tell him that this performance is improbable at a Carolina wedding." Lovely Woman. Religious Crazes. A curious band of enthusiasts have recently emigrated from Chicago to Jerusalem. The wife of a Chicago lawyer having suffered a terrible domestic affliction, became a prey to the delusion that she and her friends were commanded by Heaven to sell their possessions and set out for the holy city. Strange to say, she persuaded her husband and several other persons to share her delusions, and the parties have recently arrived at their destination and profess to be making converts to their eccentric faith. St. Louis, Dec. 29.—Prof. J. H. Wilson is a new apostle and a founder of a new religion, which he proposes to recommend by phenomenal proof. His mission is creating considerable noise. What his dogmas are or how they are to benefit mankind the prophet has not yet clearly explained. He desires, however, to back up his pretenses of the evangel or new gospel by almost supernatural control of his wants, as evinced by the facility with which he passes into and lies in a state of trance. He started in a trance Wednesday noon, and will lie till Saturday night. The physicians are much interested, but Wilson is doubtless a crank or shamming. Importing Insecticidal Ants. We had a paragraph not long ago about the use the Chinese make of some species of ants which devour the injurious insects on their orange trees.

December 30th. Many reports of manufactories shutting down men out of work. These give rumors of the workingmen rising troubles in the near future. The workingmen who have given troubles years are still busy, and may resist strikes and great disasters, new element steps in to lessen strikes and of employers closures. Sensation has been created posted in the large shops of the milling Mills' Company announcing of the Bessemer Steel Works notice. This includes the railroad mills, the booth mill, two puddling mills, the guide mill, smaller ones. It throws out of at least one thousand men. Now how long the mills will be they are shut down only tem- when the stock is taken and they probably will resume.

In either liquid or dry form it is a perfect remedy for those terrible diseases that cause so many deaths. New York, December 27th. The bark Membok from Auckland reports that on October 9th, during a southwest gale and a thick fog squall, a ball of fire passed across the ship, injuring three seamen, and breaking both gunwales, and ripping the planks from the stern of the starboard boat. It exploded about twenty yards from the ship, with a loud report, sparks flying from it like rockets. There was no lightning or thunder at the time. Washington, Dec. 29. Senator Chilcott introduced a bill in the Senate to-day to amend section 2329, Revised Statutes, requiring that the amount of annual work necessary to be performed by miners to hold possession of their claims, shall be continued until payment is made for the claim at the district land office, instead of until patent has been issued therefor, as is now required by law. A writer in the St. Louis Republican seems disposed to think that because Clay, Calhoun, Chase, Clinton, Crittenden, Clayton, Cass, Church, Cameron, Conkling, Colfax, and several other gentlemen of more or less estimable character whose names began with C have failed to attain the Presidency there is no hope for Grover Cleveland. But remembering Colfax, Clinton and Calhoun, he does not regard his chance of obtaining the Vice Presidency as hopeless. The Necessity for Reform. If housekeepers would only follow the noble example of reform now being set in municipal politics by the sterner sex, what a glorious country this would be. And they must do it. Common sense advises it and necessity demands it. The time is past when you must spend considerable money where a few doses of Swayne's Pills would effect a speedy cure. Reform is needed in the household. Hereafter, when any of the family are suffering from biliousness, indigestion, headache, disordered liver or softness, use Swayne's Pills. After their use, you will have no other.
