, my dcnr , " siid Mr Spooponn9
with n social sort of ft grin ,
f would you like to go fishing ? "
"Wouldn't thnt bo perfectly love-
[ y1" squealed Mrs. Poopendyko. " 1
never wns fishing in my life , nnd I
nlwnrs wnntod to try it. Where can
rte go ! "
"Well , there arc lots of places
around Brookljn. Last summer 1
saw bojs cateh n good many fish oF !
the dock at the foot of Stnto street.
Wo miglit go there. "
"Just the place , " conceded Mrs.
Spoopondyko. "Peihaps wo c.in
catch some snrdinci. I'll bet n spool
if thrcnd 1 I irot the first sli.ul' ' " and inter
icr glee Mn. Spoopcndyko walt/cd
across the loom nnd back again.
Mr. Spoopendjko smiled pleasantly
upon his wife , and started out into
the yard to got some worms , wlnlo
Mrs. Spoopondyko rigged hetself up
for the pending o\cur mn ,
"Got any I'mn sticks ! " she uskcd , ns
Mr. Spoopondyko rotmncd , rather
warm from hia exorcise.
"I'\o got Bomo fishing rodsif that's
what yon mean , " replied Mr. Spoop-
cndykc , "but 1 could only find four
worms. "
"C.in't we break em in two ? " in
quired Mrs. Spoopundyke , anxiously.
"Could if wo had ft bu// saw , "
grunted Mr. Spoopondyko. "Como
along , if you'ro coming , ' nnd thor-
ouglily equipped for Ifiu expedition
Mr and Mrs. Spoopondy Bet out
foi the State street pier.
"How long befovo tljoy bito"nskod ?
Mrs. Spoopendjko , hoiHting her hook
out of the water and examining the
point of a worm her husband hud iiu
paled theicon.
"They'll probably bite at that iuJ
soon n3 they can bonow-astep-hiddor , "
retorted Mr. Spoopcndyko , eyeing
the dangling hook. "If you calculate )
to i ( ot nny hsh , you'd better lot that
thing down in the water. "
"Oh ! " said Mra. Spoopcudyko ,
drpping the hook. "Do you think I
could catch n gold fish ) " she inquired ,
after ( a pause.
"Hi ! hold on there , I lost him !
ejaculated Sir. Sdoopendyko , tiring
his hook up toward the Heights.
"So did H" chimed Mrs. Spoon-
dyke ] , as aho fell over backwtfru am'
shot her sinker into Mr. Spoondykor'fl
cat , "I declare wo both lost him ! "
"What yo doing ? " demanded Mr
Spoondyko , "what did you lose"
when I'm pulling in fish , you just sil
still ] , will jo ? Think my head's f
fish-pond ? Drop it , I tell j'o ! droj
it in the water. There ! Now sil
still ! and fish. Another time I'm pill
ling in a Spnish mackerel , you Icl
things alone. You mad mo lose tliv ;
fisl . "
, "You outrht to have caught him , '
said Mta. Spoopendyko , soothingly
"j-ou fished splendidly for him. "
"I understand the business , " re
joined Mr. Spoopcndyko somowhnl
mollified , 'Ion sco lie didn't over
get the belt , big as ho was. "
"I'm glad of that , because we've
only got three worms left. How IV
like to catch an oj-atei. Do you
know I "
"Hist ! Sh-h-h ! Quiet , now ! I'\o
got him ! See mo play mini Now
I'll fetch him ! " nnd Mr. Spoopondyko
reeled in until ho landed an old boot ,
"I didn't know that fish had buir.i
on , like n chestnut , " said Mra.
Spoopcndyko , quivering with excite
ment. "Oracle him and let's see what
hois. "
"Ciack j-our grandmother ! " snortci
Mr. Spoopondyke , shicing the boot
up the pier. "He wasn't good to eat
anyway. I'll got something "
"What's the matter with mjr stick' '
Let go , j-ou nasty thing ! Hcio's
another one ! Quick ! "
"Pull him in , can't yo ? You've got
bito. Haul up ! " cried Mr. Spoopon
dyke , trying to untangle himself from
Inu line and help his wife. "Lift liin
out of the water ! "
"Ho won't let mo , " squeaked Mrs.
Spoopendyko , holding both arms at
full length. "Take him oil' ! Scat
Go "wnjf , you monster ! "
"Lift your polo straight in the air ! '
shouted Mis. Spoopondyko. "Hoist
tlio dod gnstcd thing right up ! "
Mrs. f-pookendyko exerted herself
nnd < disclosed nn eel , dangling.
"It's a r nttlosnnko ! " HIO ! j'olled.
"Don't go near him ! File ! file ! mur
dot ! police ! polico-o-o ! "
"Hold youryawp , will j'o ? " bawled
Mr Spoopendyke. "Get him o\er
the dock , so I can catch him ! What
holding him out there for ? Wait
ing for him to < lry ? Stick that polo
straight up in the air , I tell jo. "
MM. Spoopondyko throw the polo
over her shoulder , and flopped the ee"
into Mr. Spoopondyko'u countonnnco
"Dod gust the monslj' eel ! " ho
howled , ns ho spat it out. "Stop
waving tlmt slam blasted lightning-
rod like n flag , will yo ? Hold it still ,
say. Think j'ou'ro n Iron ? "
"Don't touch him ! Throw hin
overboard ! Ho'll sting j'on to dcnthi'
led Mrs. Spoopondyko , and for
gottingjthnt the polo still exercised
influence over tlio eel , she gave
jerk , nnd it sjippcd through Mr ,
Spoopondyko's fini'ors. That gentle ,
man made n spring foi it , und swnsh
into tlio water.
"Hou ! brab ! baa ! waggle ! gin , hie ,
, gaggie ! " sputtered Mr. Spoopon
dyke , < na some lightermen fished hin
out."Did
"Did you catch cold , deal ? " inquir
Mra. Spoopondyko , with Bolicitudi
they mndo their wuy homo.
"If I did '
, Ilandedit.'V'iowlodMr ,
Spoopcndyko , blowing'mud like the
exhnust of u tug.
"Anyway , I caught an eel , clidn' 'th
" asked Mrs. Spoopondyko , carrying
the woman's idea of comforting i
man with thu only thing ho didn"
want to hear about , no
"Oh ! you caught it ! " ripped Mr ,
Spoopendyko , "You'io a fish-womai
arc. All you want now is glass
aides and some bubblou i wining of
through you to bo an aquarium. An
other time wo both go fishing you stay
homo. You hear ? "
And with thia novel mathcmntica U ia
suggestion { , Mr. Spoopendyko hunted
himself to his domicile and took n ruin of
went.

DIGGER INDIANS.
An Expiring Rnoo A Novel Danoo
in n Balto Oven
from a California LetU r. '
"Would you like to attend the
Indians ! " said n gentleman to a friend
and myself , as wo loitered in one of
the small towns in northern Califor
nia. Now , having been informed of
the dance during the afternoon by 110
less a personage than the chief of the
rnnchcrin , wo determined to stop over
night for the purpose of witnessing
the same , and rii lit happily wore wo
joined by a gentleman who was thor
oughly familiar with every point of
interest in the neighborhood , and who
was well known to many of the In
diana themselves.
"Tho Diggers are a strange race , "
said he , as we trudged along after
nightfall to the place where the "fan
dango" was to bo hold. "They are
generally conceded to be the lowest
specimens of humanity on the contin
ent of America , and it is doubtful
whether the old woild can show a people
ple more degraded. 'Although lopeat-
ed oilorts have been mndo to ciili.e
them , yet these have been of little
a\ail , and thework of thophilnntlnop-
ist has been like the good seed which
fell upon stony places and which
spiting up , but having no root , soon
withered away. Woida nnd nrgu
ments seem to bo poericas to cifcctn
change in their condition ; and , since
the time of the mission fathers , nil at
tempts nt the improvement of the in
tellectual and apiiitunl welfaie have
been abandonpd. The Diirger Indian
may bo taught to pick hops , plow ,
chop wood , and perform many other
kinds of outdoor work. Ho may bo
taught to chew und smoke and chink
like n white man ; to wash his face and
wear decent clothing ; but civili/ntion
can go little farther. At the fust im
pulse he retinns to his vagabond life
of idleness , to his acorn diet and
'wickiup' of boughs , the same untam
ed und untamable sungo.
"Yes , " continued our fi lend , us wo
passed beyond n ticu wheio a half-
breed once had been lynched , "theie
is something pathetic in the histoiy
of the Digger race. In the days of
Kit Carnoii and other famous scouts
they swnuned through every valley in'
the state ; and even down to the time
of the pioncois ofI ! ) they thtongea
the sheets of the frontier towns , and
their ranchciias were so densely popu
lated that the baiest neccHsniios of iifo
were with difficulty obtained. Hut
during the last twenty years they have
disappeared moio rapidly than ever
befoie ; and before many years have
passed not a vestige of this once pow
erful race will remain , What is the
can HO of this decline , you link. Un
doubtodly it has bucii war , pentilence
and the contact of civilisation. In
early days the dlllorent tribes were
lighting unceasingly among them
selves , while the Americans und Mex
icans aided largely m decreasing the
number of their common enemy. In
Trinity county , thirty years ugo , a
party of whites sunoundetl a raneliu-
riu , und during a night u whole tribe
wns doatioyed. .Similar butcheries
have occurred in other parts of the
state. Nc t long since I rend in Mono- n
fee's History of Sonoma county about K
the raBges of the choloia among the si
Indians in 18't : ) , In one ranchoiin in
the Sacramento Ynlloy over UOO died di
within the space of four days , One l'I '
little girl nlono escaped the frightful 01
disease , and when she was rescued the 01wi
ground was literally covered with the ai
bodies of her dead companions.
"Tho contact of civilisation , " said til
the gentleman , , an wo approached the hi
innelieria , "has been more potent in el
the extinction of the Diggers than
poatilonco or the sword. The game is piwl
longer abundant in the mountains , n
and there ia a scarcity of fish in the nn
interior streams , and without fiah nnd of
game the Indiana are put to all soils Bt
shifts to keep body and soul to- m
gethor. When they aio hungry it tl
mutters little what sort of food in. of fo
fered , for they will oat any thing which | 8U
digestible. Their bread is made
generally from acorns or the kernels
the pinonut and buckeye , and Of
worms and edible roots are t'leirmeat '
and vegetables. Grasshoppers are one
their favorite dishes , wbilo snakes
said to bu eaten w ith a relish.
Detvreon the two evils starvation or
work there is not much diHorenco
the average Digger's mind , and in %
escaping both the grand end of exist tFt
ence ia obtaitied. JJut hero we are at
of the largest rancherias in the 1 lOo
stnte , nnd of the hnbits and customs
of this strange people nn excellent
opportunlly is now afforded to judge
for yourselves. Don't bo fastidious ,
don't mnko nnj' 0110 angry ; keep j'our
mouth shut nnd jour ojes nnd ears
open , nnd joii will witness n porfnr
mnnce to-niyht more curious thananj
j-ou hnvo yet seen in California. Wo
shall soon bo sitisfted , but make up
your mind to remain here until the
dance iio\or. "
Kroir the barking of the dogs and
: ho wniling of n squaw we knew that
ivowere now in tlio midst of the
uncheria ; and Indians forms Hitting
about the " "
"sweat-house" Informed us
whom the "fandango" was to bo hold
This homo had been built of sluing
poles and branches ingeniously fasten
ed together , nnd was tn the shape of
an inverted bowl , being about forty
feet in diameter nt the bottom and
tapering to the sieve of n centei-polo
nt the top. The outside being covoi-
ed w ith earth to prevent the esc.tpo of
the heat , nnd there being neither
windows nor doors , tlio nppenranco of
the whole was like that of nn old fash
ioned bako-ov en and the slmilo wns
not inappropriate , ns wo afterwords
lenrnod.
Under the escort of Captain Jnck ,
to whom wo were each rcqmied to pay
50 cents , wo crawled rnthor than
walked through tlie small npoituro on
one side , and having gained the in
terior wo wore assigned a bench nn
mediately in fiott of the tire. It was
now nbout 10 o'clock , but the dnnciug
was not yet begun. About lf > 0 In-
( liana the malcsand fomnlesmi.\odin-
discriminntolv weio lounging at ound
the edge of tlio house , nnd snvu the
bench upon which wo wore seated not
n single niticlo of furmUno wns seen.
Upon hooks piojccting from the walls
were blankets , bendwork , bows nnd
nrrowa , enne-i , slippers and other coil-
ttnn fanov Arliolca , while the
various costumes to bo timid in the
dances : ftVo the ttliolu tile niijiearanco
of a well-stocked barnaf. Tlio only
light of the place emanated from the
huge , good tire which burned on the
ground near the center of the house ,
and during the entire evening n de
crepit old Indian , who had been de
tailed for the [ impose , kept piling on
fuel until the spectator on the bench
nml ' the Indians thomsehea were well
high roasted.
It wns nhondy Into when the danc
ing began. The orchestra was com
posed of about a do/on braves , .Mid
these , with their instalments of tor
ture , huddled together near the pole
in tjlfo center. In the book , "Uotweou
the Gates , " n Chinese orchestra is de
scribed as n combination of ticks nnd
chicks , and jingles nnd squeaks , in
terlude and emaciated fiddlers with n
ronr of gongs nnd n clnsh of cymbals
added ; while elsewhere the music of
the Digger Indians is described ns u
deafening uproar like that produced
by a thousand cross-cut SAW a
tiled bj- steam power , or iinnu-
merablo pigs caught under n gnto , or n
multitude of tom cats lashed together
and Hung o\er n clothes line ! But
neither ot the above descriptions will
do justice to the music which broke
upon our ears as the signal was given ,
for soon were distinguished notes nnd
pauses in nccoulanco with the figuies.
Each member of the orchestra con-
tiibuted his shnro of the noise by
striking n split piece of wood ngainnt
his nrm or knee ; nnd this was accom
panied bj-n plaintive wail , now low
and subdued , nj/nin forcible , as the
occasion demanded.
Simultaneously with the commence
ment of tbo music the dancing begun.
A ilo/ou or more squaws glided bare
footed into the ling , nnd after ending
the tire on tiptoe , glided ; n\uy ns uii-

streamer , which extended even to the
ground , Each of the squaw a held n
homo-tail in the right bund , nnd four
had peculiar wooden whistles in their
mouths. The dnncois varied in ago
from the young giil in her teens to
the grandmother of the tube , nml n
stoical indifl'eienco to pleasure or np-
