We told him very friendly, and felt somewhat anxious to know what he wanted with a paper. Ho replied, in rather good English, * You never mind. Igo to Victoria—hiyoa white men read him, and speak me Indian, me plenty understand. How much the paper, sir]’ Wc told him , nothing, and presented him with a copy of : the Alaska Times. He did not seem satis- ■ fled, and promptly asked the price of ten. ; We told him, and he instantly paid for ten copies, but he must have abundance of ■ sealing-wax, which we gave him. He then ■ said, ‘ White man pay you three months —mo pay same,’ and planked down enough > of furs to pay six months subscription. He r is the finest Indian subscriber we have. - He said his name was ‘ Klitch-a-ta-noo.’’” t The Paris Figaro makes the rather f startling announcement of a great scandal a about to be brought to light, in which a c priest and u doctor are implicated. The il only portion of the mystery as yet revealed n is that a post mortem examination was n commenced to soon, and that the victim cited out under the knife.
