The first necessity toward the making : kid gloves is, very naturally, the ;ins. It is a popular belief that no in""** A nnAVtiifi C- !r "T C uuaunuud ui tuuoc OAX^O e from the bodies of rats and moneys. Mr. Cyrus Clark says that that . not true, and, in the trade at least, he looked upon as an authority. Kid, jitb, sheep, and antelope skins, he iys, are the materials in use. Even the elusion that the name of "dogskin" is any foundation in fact may no longer 2 cherished. "Dogskin" means sheepLin. There are technically in the trade locha, Mocho, Cape Casto^ and vanis other names; but they all mean :rang or old goat, sheep, or antelope tins, from Europe, Africa, or Mexico, i^e finest and most valuable are kidrins^-Ske best of which come from ranee orSc^ony. Some good ones so come from5t?&5L._but not many, as le people there do~n5t"4<ke the ne?ssary care in growing the yoke g aniials from which they afe taken. :in is better while the anhn.il is fed ith milk than it is at any time after le first meal of brown paper, tomato ms, or even grass. Some powers ;nore this, and hope to make up for .ck of quality by size; but in France id Saxony there is no such indifference > the primary consideration. Another ling about the kid is that it must be ;areu tenderly, and not permitted to 2t even the slightest hurt, else its skin ill be lessened in value. Singularly a "/?av 4 V? z-v v/ckonl?1 crttt>a ron* d%j ugiiy a v/k W ? v*j iflicg injury, will be quite unperceivble in the dressed skin, but will show ith ruinous distinctness when the skin ; dyed. The mere scratch of an unnoced thorn may make the kid's skin altost worthless to anybody but the riginal wearer. Thai is why hardly ay kid or goat skins fit for American lore makers' use come from South merica, Mexico, or other countries in hich, although many goats are raised, icti are plentiful and the people are iilful in throwing missiles. But those amagfcd skins go in great numbers, by ay of vhis country, to England, Germany smd France. The best of them re there culled out for gloves, and the jst are utilized for pocket-books, pipe ises, jewelry boxes, and a thousand ther thirgs. Here we want only the est and will have no other. That is Iso true in rejrard to the making of le gloves.

A Land of Perpetual Salutes. A grievance of which I, in common ith a ma;ority of foreign residents in okohama, complain._ says a corre pondent of the St. Jams' iJazciU, at ckohama, is the extent to which the ractice of firing naval salutes is cared. Yokohama is not a Japanese port Lerely, the treaties having opened it to early all the principal nations of the orld; and the body of residents is imposed of some fmeen nationalities, t is not, therefore, one port, but fifteen orts in one. The national aoniversaes of fifteen nations are celebrated; le fleets of many of ihem assemble in lese waters; ceremonial calls are made pon Japanese officials and between the len-of-war, and are politely returned; le ministers ana consuls of fifteen owers interchange calls; and the port self mu3t be treated with due attenon. These events are celebrated, visors are honored, and the flags are tinted, bv firingf a certain number of )tmds of blan \ cartridges; the conseaence being that from 8 a. m. to sun;t?Sunday included, in the case of nps other than British?there is a spe!es of continuous cannonade. Many sssels have no saluting battery, and re heavy gens which shake the houses itl occasionally break winaows ana ao ther small damage. On Sunday last ie settlement -was disturbed at 8:10 a. . by a furious and long-sustainert canonade, the cause of which was unnown. Kussian, French, German and ipanese vessels vraxe engaged in ofl'ertg a parting salute to Admiral Les)ffsky, who was leaving for home in ie corvette Europe. This is but one stance of many of almost daily occur:nce, and the community now looks award with a species of terror to the rival of the Syicg squadron with tl^' >ns of the Prince of Wales.

'California Grape Culture. The cultivation c! grapes and the anufacture c-f wine are yearly interring more capital and skill in Cdlifora.

The total yield from the cnlre of the grape amounted to ?3,500,'0. Over 10,0C0 acres vere planted in ape vines alio, and it is said that this ar 20,COO acres will be added.

The wealthiest individual -who dabbles in Wall street of course is William H. Vanderbilt. He did not appear as a heavy operator until after the death of his father, the late Commodore Vanderbilt, vrho left his favored son $65,' 000,000. Since that time he has added ; to his vast capital by judicious investments rmHl nns hp is nrprlifcer! with hp ing worth ?120,000,000. This is divided : up in real estate, United States four per j cent, bonds, Lake Shore, New York i Catada Southern, Michigan Central, Chicago and Northwestern stock. He is the heaviest individual holder of government securities in the I world, his daily interest account from i this source alone amounting to nearly $2,700. Jay Gould ranks nest to Van! derbilt, his wealth being estimated at $75,000,u00, which, with the exception of $500,000 in real estate, is all invested < in railroad and telegraph securities, i : The honor of being the third largest possessor of wealth on "Wall street is divided between several gentlemen who touch their holdings by the millions, j ; and who are variously estimated to be ; worth from 81,000,000 to ?10,000,000. i Among these are James E. Keene, I>. O. . j Mills and Thomas Maitland. When ! Mr. Keene made his debut in Wall street, a few years ago, he was credited j with transferring from San Francisco to ; Wall street 8 10,000,000. Since then he ; has met mauy severe reverses, but had : : added to his store in other directions, and it is safe to say that he is worth at least 86,000,000 to-day. Mr. Maitland I is believed to be possessed of SS,000,000. : A good story is told by him, showing I the caution he exercises in making investments. As well as Lis total indiffer-; ; ence to addiDg to bis vast wealth. Re-; ! cently he was invited to take the initia-; tive in improving tlio Long Island Railroad property. It was shown clearly j to him that by building the new bridge j from upper New York across Blackwell's j Island to Long Island, and a judicious j change in the time tables and running arrangements, the investment of ?3,000,- 1 000 would make a handsome return, i Mr. Maitland examined the details ofj -4iie project closely, regarded it with j favor, felt convinced of its assumed success, when he turned toward his friend and said: "I am getting along well in years 1 and want to avoid all the annoyance j i possible." ' Bat this will add greatly to your possessions," pressed his friend. "I have all the money that I want, | sir," was the response. "I have trouble enough with that and I desire no more, j i I have no one lea\e it to, and any addi- j | tional treasures would add to my in; conveniences, I am fully content with ' what I have, and I shall enter into no i more speculations. i The Seligmans also count their gains by the millions, so divided up between ; the brothers as to leave at least ?2,000,: 000 to each. August Belmont is another i ; of the millionaires. He continues to , i manage the affairs in this city of the ' ; famous English banking firm of N. SI. ' : Rothschild & Sons, and is put down as | worth at least ?2,000,000. George I. i i Senev, President of the Metropolitan , i Bank, is another man whose wc-alth is ; unknown, but who is believed to be , i worth between three and five millions, j i Cyrus W. Field has been very successful | j in his speculations, his cable, Wabash ! and elevated railway stocks and bonds i having netted him a handsome profit. : ' Mr. Field is set down as worth about j $2,500,000. Wall street is full of business men i whose wealth varies from $500,000 to i SI,000,000, most of whom live sumptu! ously and enjoy life to its fullest extent, j but who are daily toiling for more and j j more gains. H.Victor Newcomb, Presi- i i dent of the United States National j j Bank, and formerly President of the ! Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com- i | pany, is said to be wortu $3,000,000. ! His successor in the Presidency of the i i Louisville and Nashville road, Mr. C. C. j j Baldwin, is estimated at between $2,- j j 000,000 and $3,000,000. H. C. Fahnei stock, Vice-President of the First Nai tional Bank, suffered a heavy reverse i when the firm of Jay Cocke & Co., of which he was a m amber, failed. Mr. ; Fahnestock having met all his liabili-! ties, is ranked as worth $1,000, ?00. Among other millionaires are ex-SurroI gate Jenkins Van Schaick, F. B. Wallace, j ! D. B. Hatch, Henry Clews, J. D.

Insects, ! oiids, fishes, reptiles, mammals?one j really does not knew which department of the natural wond exhibits the most j skill in supplying its wants. Let me 1 instance the case of trap-door spiders. ! I refer to their doirgs, because they are less familiar than tnos9 of ants and i bees and other creatures which I might mention. The trap-door spider lives in ; a burrow which he makes in the ground j where the grass grows, generally in a j sloping bank; he covers the entrance to j his burrow with a trap-door, which works upon a hinge, and which so nearly j resembles the surrounding grass that: | only a careful observer can detect it. i This, however, is not all: if an enemy : finds the door and opens it, and enters j the spider's castle, he may very easily ; fancy that there is no one at home, for in the sides of the burrow, wnich is , lined with a soft silky substance, there j are other trap-doors communicating ! with branches of the burrow, and cov! ering these branches so c:raftily that they may be easily parsed by unnoticed. Nay, if the enemy should be clever enough to find his way into one of ; these branches, he may still find no one i ; at home, the ovniQ^of this castle being ; i perhaps^ra brancn *?? this branch, x>i j the/burrow, concealed by "gaagj^skill-! l^ful trap-door. Architecture of this : | kind shuts the mouth of any- one who j ! would say that the in tenor mem bers cf ; ; creation do not know how to adapt j ; means to ends. Nor can it be said that: i the power of adaptation dees not go to | | some extent beyond the wonders of in- ; stinct. The old story of the bees who i destroyed an in trading monsewith their j stings, and then covered it over with i war because they could not get rid of j the body and feared the results of its continuance in the hive, is only one of a number which go to prove that in the j lower world of living things there is i unquestionably a power of adaptation tc j unforseen circumstances, a reasoning i | out of results and acting accord ingly, ; ; which cannot possibly be set down to : j the credit of instinct properly so called. : i Bat the important point to be observed : ' is this, the infinite superiority of the animal's operations when it does not' reason and the infinite inferiority of its operations to those of man when it does. It has been said that a bird will carry an oyster in o the air and let it drop upon a rock in order to break the shell j and get at the treasure within ; a simple operation this, and jet we stand well' nigh aghast at the birds prodigious superiority above all that we had expected, and we doubt whether such a won- ! derful feat can be positively substantiaj ted. I will not say that there may not! : be in insects, birds and mammals the germ of that faculty which invented j i the steam engine; but certainly it j : seems almost impossible to contain in i oue description or definition two facui- , ties so diverse in the importance of their j results. Adaptation of means to ends is i not in the case of man something sub! sidiary to instinct, and exhibiting itself ! now and then in exceptional circuin- j stances, but it is the very law of his be-; ing. The merest savage contrives machines to catch his prey; he makes his stone implements till he sees bis way to bronze and iron ; he constructs his boat, ; or Scats on his log of timber ; he may be and doubtless is rude and elementa- i 'ry but he is the genuine ancestor of James Watt and George Stephenson.?

Disease in Cattle* As showing how infections lang disease in cattle is, and how it travels, we note what Professor Law says of it: "Into Australia the infection was carried from England in 1859 in the body of a Short-horned cow. She was three months on the voyage out, and had been - TT-r.0 a lvriuiguij zlu :uauuuinc wucix s-ug v?c-o noticed ill. Tiie sick cow, together with all of her owner's (Mr. Boodle) herd were slaughtered and paid for by public subscription, and his premises shut np. This would have ended the matter had not a teamster turned his oxen on Mr. Boodle's rich and secluded pastures at night and removed them before daylight. These workirig oxen contracted the disease, and had spread it too widely for control before its existence was suspected. Tens of thousands of cattle were killed in the vain hope of arresting the plague, but on the open pastures this was found to be impossible; it quickly spread from Victoria to the other colonies, and the stock owners had to fall back on the palliative of inoculation, or turn their attention to sheep." Thinuiuz Fruit. The Massachusetts Ploughman gives some advice on the important subject of il * fx Tt unnniagiruit. jLtsuvs; Were it not for the time consumed in thinning, it would be profitable to thin all kinds of fruit; for as a rale, fruits of almost every kind, in good seasons, set too thick, and unless a portion drops off, will be of small size and never fully mature: when a tree overbears, it checks its vigor, and its power to mature fruit buds for another year, and some kinds of trees, like the peach and plum, are frequently killed by overbearing ; therefore when a tree is very full of fruit, it is economy to remove a portion of it, for the benefit of the tree, as well as the improvement of the fruit. It is true, it is a work of no small magnitude to thin an orchard of large apple trees, and is rarely attempted by even the best of fruit growers, but if one has a tree of choice apples, and desires to have them grow to large size and full perfection, he will not neglect to thin the fruit. Among all of the fruits there is none that require thinning more than the plum, providing the curcalio is kept off, for trees in good condition, with the insects kept off, will oftentimes be so loaded with fruit as to break the limbs ; and as the frait hangs in clusters, the plums touching each other, as soon as they begin to ripen, in wet or even damp weather, they will begin to set when they touch each other. This fruit should be thinned so that each plum shall hang by itself; to do this oftentimes, five plums must be cut off, where one is left. The peach is another fruit that should bo thirined, for although there is not the danger of its rotting as there is of the plum, yet the fruit when too thick, is not only small, but lacks the rich flavor which is possessed by large, wellmatured fruit. Peach trees that are permitted to overbear are oftentimes injured beyond recovery. Probably more attention has been given to the thinning of pears than any other fruit, except grapes, yet a pear tree is rarely ever killed by overbearing, but always injured. WLv this fruit should be thinned, and many others entireiv neeltcted in this respect, it is hard to explain. Probably the thinning process was first resorted to, that large specimens might be secured for exhibition, and finding that it was an operation that paid, it was continued and copied by others, until it became a general custom among the growers of large and -well-ripened pears. But even the thinning of pears is the exception to the rule ; a large majority of cultivators have not the necessary courage to go into the orchard and cut off threefourths of the half-grown pears from the trees. This is a business that it takes time to learn, and to become convinced that the one-quarter left will be of more value than the whole would have been if permitted to grow. When 11 ii.*?i? tilt) uuiiivuiojL id uiiuc buirisucu. uu mia point-, lie takes off green pears with, a different feeling; ho no longer hesitates, but picks off the froit with the feeling that he is doing his duty. When the thinning is all to be done at one time, it is belter to wait nntil the fruit is two-thirds grown, nnless the trees are very full. As to the quality of fruit to be left to mature, much depends on the location and condition of the tree; if the location is a good one, and the tree is vigorous, it will be capable of ripening more fruit than a tree in a poor location, with small leaves. At the present time the rule is that too much fruit is left to glow. One who has never had any experience in thinning fruit would be surprised to see how quick the fruit that is left to grow attains a sizo that makes the tree look fuller than before thinning. No one who has had experience in growing grapes but h?s settled down to the conclusion that it is not only necessary to limit the number of bunches of grape3 to the capacity of the vine, but also that the number of grapes to the bunch must be reduced by thinning.' It is surprising to see how a bunch will fill up after nearly half of the grapes have been cut out. What is true of grapes, we have no doubt is true of many other kinds of fruit that grow in clusters or bunches. Honsebolrt lij'Hs. Take coach varnish and renew all your oil-cloths.

One way to keep them from crawling over the jars is to take the tin cans in which peaches or tomatoes come, set the legs of the table in the cans, and fill them half full of water. If more corn is cooked for dinner than is required it need not be wasted; cut it from the cob and heat it for the next meal, adding a little cream or milk, butter, pepper and salt. To preserve citron, first peel it and cut in small pieces about an inch long, boil, until tender, in weak vinegar and water, drain this off and make a syrup of white sugar, and drop the citron in, flavor with lemon ; a few pieces of ginger root adds piquancy to the preserve. Can while hot, or put away in jars. Where His Glove Was. The late Dean Stanley is said to have rarely made a gesture when preaching. One day after morning service he asked his wife if she had noticed the intensity wHh_which the congregation had gazed upon him during the sermon. "How could they nelp it, my dear," said Lady Augusta, "when one of vour gloves was on the top of your head the whole time ?" The dean having taken his hat off before entering the pulpit, the glove lying therein had fallen on his head, and as he stood quite still while preaching, tuere ii- leuLUiiucu.. Preparations of great magnitude are under way for the production of "Wagner's musical composition "Parcival" in Bayreutli nest summer. A Polish artist, intimately acquainted with "Wagner, is painting scenery and decorations and devising costumes in Munich, and all Germany is searching for singers. The music-loving King, Louis of Bavaria, contributes 300,000 marks (about $75,000) to the expenses of the undertaking. A Clever Calitor&id Girl. A young man in the neighborhood ! had taken up 160 acres of land, bnilt a house upon it, a barn, bored wells, dug ditches, sewn it in wheat, and in all spent hundreds of dolkrs upon it. It happened to be a dry season and the . crop failed. He became discouraged, j and offered his claim and improvements ' at a sacrifice. The young lady gave % " "? * " "? i ml. J | mm *jluu ior 111s ngni, cue aim miacot j in the land and everything on it. She let it lie. She need do nothing more. She sold the insufficient crop for hog feed. The hogs rooted and scattered j it. The winter rains came, and with them came the volunteer crop, which matured and has just been cut, yielding twelve bushels per acre on 120 acres. She will clear at least SI,500, besides j having the land and the improvements. Advicc to Girl*. Do not estimate the worth of a young man by his ability to talk soft nonsense, j nor by the length of his mustache. Do not imagine that an extra ribbon ! tied about the neck can remedy the de-; feet of a soiled collar and untidy dress. If your hands are browned by labor, do not envy the lily fingers of Miss Fuss and Feathers, whose mother works in the kitchen, while the daughter lounges in the parlor. If a dandy, with a cigar between his ; fingers, asks yon if smoking is offensive to yon, tell him emphatically, "Yes." j The habit should be, even though the j odor may not. Do not waste your tears on the imag- i inary sorrows of Alonzo and Melissa, ; nor the trials of the dime novel hero- i ines. Seek rather to alleviate the woes i of the suffering ones'of earth. A Grand Wedding. The recent wedding of Mr. William ; Mackie and Miss Isabella Mitchell, in Milwaukee, was a grand affair. There were present 1,500 guests, and fully 20,000 people thronged the neighboring streets to witness the oat-door display. A correspondent says: "From every point about the great mansion, from ever tree and branch, from flower beds, from fountains, pavilions aod marquee, 1 ten thousand lights of different hues lit : up the resplendent scene from the grass ; beneath one's feet to the tip of the great ! dome overshadowing the house. The j promenades of the guests led them among artificial lakes, fountains and i statuary. One of the most imposing j spectacles of the evening was a huge, j many-jetted fountain, which burst into I a grand display at the roar of artillery, j From among jets a number of miniature j dark lanterns flashed through the water i with peculiar brilliancy and effect. The bridal parlor was constructed in Moorish styie. The furniture and decorations formed a reproduction of the marvels of the Alhambra. The embroidery ( was arranged at Cairo, Egypt, from I special designs. The porcelain and pottery ornamants were Bellanger's latest designs from Paris. The dados on the walls were manufactured expressly for the occasion at Lyons, France. The presents, which were not on exhibition, were said to amount in all to a value of upward of $100,000. It required the assistance of one hundred men to_arrange the grounds." IlintM About Autumn Dresses. Short dresses will continue in vogue ! for nearly all occasions, and that there j will be no very decided changes in the j next season's dresses. Plaited shirts will display stripes advantageously, and pleated flounces will be retained on account of stripes, though gathered flnnnr>As are sn?r<?ested for soft satin stuffs, moires, and woolens. Basques j of watered silk are being made for skirts ! of plain satin Surah that are trimmed with moire. This fashion was intro-j duced by the Princess of Wales during j the summer, in a dress with white moire : corsage and skirt3 of tulle. Short over-' skirts with bouffant draperies are shown j in the designs for new costumes. Corse-1 lets or wide girdles*of moire or of vel- I vet are worn over soft wool basques that ] may be either plain or pliated. Moire collars of Byron shape and flat cuffs to j match are a neat finish for camel's-hair and cashmere dresses. This moire may be shaded, or else changeable, and is ! used in the lower skirt, while the over- j skirt is of the woolen goods. Florentine | bronze shades of mixed green and gold, [ mort dore (golden browii) and dull red ' will be popular colors for wool and for j silk costumes. Satin Surahs and Rhadzimir silks with satin luster are largely imported for black dresses. Plushes and velvets are chosen for trimmings of wool and of satins stuffs. For overgarments there are long cloaks not ad- j justed to the figure, and also close-fit- j ting jaunty jackets. The rich satin ; brocades in new designs of chains, j linked rings, plush diamonds, and velvet j figures will be used for elegant wraps. A great deal of color will, it is said, be i ?een in the imported cloaks, but black j will remain the standard choice for garments to'be worn in the street during the day, while colored wraps will be reserved for driving, for receptions, and for evening toilets. The beauty of the j black mantles will consist of rich linings | of plush, and of moires, and changeable J Surahs.?Harper's Bazaar. iCidlDK unDiis. Ladies' riding habits have undergone | quite a change both in make and color. [ Unlike other articles of feminine attire, until recently very little alteration has been made in them for years. Now, I however, there are several important j changes. A tall silk hat is no longer ' an indispensable part of the riding dress. The most comfortable and by far the most becoming hats being of a round form, matching in color the habit worn j with- it, and trimmed simply with a j broad ostrich plume which wreathes the crown and droops very low in the back, : sometimes reaching the shou'der. The j ccost fashionable habits are made in myrtle or bottle green, dark marine blue, claret or seal brown. They are ** ? 1? 1 - *- ? - - 1 L _ _ 1 ! maae extremely snore, too snore maeea , for elegance, a liberal display of the j feet being frequent *but by no means: desirable. Of course this fashion is; copied after the style of the English hunting dresses, where, amid the bushes j and brambles | of English hunting grounds, a long drec.5 may be dangerous, but in our parks and along our public ; I drives so much curtailment is not neces- i sary, and is much less elegant, though ! perhaps safer, than the sweeping length j of riding habits formerly worn. Trimmings are not admissable, and some of ! the habits most severe in style are cut i ! o>?f?-%TTT o*r?/l /^IrvcnlTT_-fif ftnrr cr\ cr\ uu,i.iv VT UUVA ViVUVCV WW I that it is sometimes necessary to button i the skirt after the wearer has mounted her saddle, a double row of bone bnt-i tons being placed down the skirt, which fastens at the side.

Bosom bouquets are pinned low on j the right side of the corsage. A pretty conceit for a fan is Cnpid i twining roses round a maiden. Venetian lace is worn as trimming npon bright-colored Surahs. Jet trimming3 are so fashionable that the supply will not meet the demand. Gloves are worn over the tight sleeves and bracelets and bangles over the gloves. White costumes are not worn in the streets, except in the country or at the sea-side. Among the latest vagaries of Parisian ; women are velvet ear-rings of the same ; color as the dress. Small bouquet holders are worn at the left comer of the square corsage, in the shape of a fern leaf. A very stylish way to trim a navy-blue flannel is with graduated bands of; striped gros-grain ribbon. Another novelty has been added to ; Saratoga toilets?parasols of velvet em-j broidered with golden bees. Silk fans have- each division cut in the shape of a feather and embroidered at the top to represent a flower. Parisian milliners have discovered that a gown with Japanese effects is becoming to a slender person only. Mnslin dresses, to be handsome and i stylish, must have the least starch in ! them to make them drape gracefully. Pompeiian red is to be the new color for autumn dress. It is a little worse , than garnet, and that was bad enough, j Note paper and calling cards are or-1 namented with ugly scorpions, reptiles j and quadrupeds in the glossary of zool-! ogy. It is the height of elegance to have the ; gloves somewhat dark, even with light dresses, medium tan being the favorite j shade. Silver bracelets are much worn. They are cut in delicate designs, hnng with numerous pendants and fit the wrist loosely. Stylish sunshades have "Aryma" j handles of woven grass or reed exactly ! like the fine weaving which covers the exterior of Saqui cups. The most prosperous stores at Saratoga are those that deal in human hair, and there are three or four of them that are kept constantly busy. A clever china decorator of New York will soon exhibit a dainty chocolate ; service which will employ the shape j and color of the pink morning glory.

Hats in the shape of an npset basket, j full of flowers, tightened over the ears ' with a wide ribbon, are pretty and ! unique for completing toilets of wash j materials. Some of the new long gloves have I slits cut in them, either at the top or ; half way up, into which colored ribbon or broad gold braid about an inch in width is inserted. Long shawls superbly embroidered accompany all hand-worked dresses, and are carried on the arm for use in cool evenings at the seashore, or tied j with bunchy ends at the back. ?aeaa?i Gems as Charms. The belief in gems is being endowed i with the most marvelous powers, ridic-1 ulous as it may seem to the modern 1 mind, was in reality a legitimate off- j spring of what has been not inappro- j priately called "natural" religion, j Looking around him and above him through the universe, dim to his eyes, man first of all perceived that while the mass of o bjects on earth were the same j occurring in masses, there existed a few ; things that were verv rare. And among | the rarest of rare things were the pre- j cious stones. But they were not only 1 found in small quantities, and of the most diminutive size compared with other things, but they had peculiar forms, with a luster of their own resembling that of the stars. They were unlike all other substances found under and above the earth. It was quite logical that they should be considered before all things "precious," specially created by supernatural powers, and endowed as such with supernatural -virtues. The belief, originating probably in India, the cradle and first home of ! all gems and precious stones, spread ! rapidly through the ancient world, as | recorded, among others, in many pas- i sages of the Bible. Thus we are told j in the twenty-eighth chapter of Exodus j that gems were an indispensable adjunct; in the attire of the high priest. "And thon shalt put in the breastplate of: judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart when he goeth in before the Lord: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Isj?el upon his heart before the Lord continually."

X 11 I mim in ine * ureastpiaoe ux juugmeuo of Aaron were endowed with special : virtues, for " the change in the color of i them, when he came out from the sane-! tuary, manifested the favor or anger of j Jehovah." Not only the natives of India, the i Egyptians, the Jews, and other nations . of ancient history had full faith in the \ occult power of gems, but even the j highly cultivated Greeks believed in it. i The Greek trust in the wonder-working i power of precious stones is expressed in j numerous works of their classical wri- j ters, and stands forth strikingly in an I " Ode on Gems," by the national singer J Orpheus. In this poem of about eight | hundred pages a list is given of all the the precions stone3 known to the Greeks, and the supernatural qualities ' ascribed to each of them. Orpheus calls ! gems in general " the highest gift of | Jove to mortals." bestowed upon them i as "a sure remedy against all earthly i woes." All precious stones, says Or- j pheus, are hidden by the gods under- ground, " in mystic caves," and whoso-1 ever can discover them will be rewarded j Vvtt it laoc 1-iloccinorK " tfi tllfl Tiosses- I K/J WUVUVUW J - ? ^ , sors "cars and sorrow will be unknown, i as well as illness, and they will always obtain victory in battle."

Wood, Esq., of theCJ. & T. Ey., Port Huron, Mich., favors our correspondent with the following: After suffering for nearly a year with rheumatism, receiving treatment from most of the best physicians of Michigan and the West, I happened to try a bottle of Si. Jacobs Oil. Upon the first application I used folly half a bottle, and its effect was almost instantaneous. I immediately dropped all other treatment, and confined myself to its use alone. After the use of tliree bottles, instead of being driven to my bnsiness, or moving about on crutches, I walked from one to three miles daily abont bnsiness, and have been free from tbis horrible disease for over a year, not having the slightest twinge of it. Hence, I say that all medicines known to me are useless when compared with the Old German Remedy. Use this statement when and where it suits. Stories About Spotted Tail. The late Indian chief, Spotted Tail, was of a very generous, kind-hearted and charitable disposition. He always treated his family very kindly. A1 times he would be quite well fixed ir the way of ponies, horses, wagons, &c., but upon finding among his people seme one needing something of the kind he would unhesitatingly supply the want from his own stock. He frequently extended aid to orphans, and occasionally adopted one and brought it up in his own family. J&6 ESS Deeil iillUWil tu uiatv iiio yaj. when he was employed by Genera] Crook, all in 81 bills, and althoug'c knowing the value of money very well, he would throw off his bills, one at ? time, to every Indian he met, keeping for himself but a small number of the notes. In this way he frequently gave away 850 or SCO. In 1875, at the counsel held at Eec Cloud agency, a reporter of a prominenl Eastern journal wanted to interview Spotted Tail, who looked at him for ? moment or two and then said: "Yon are paid for this work, are you not ? " Yes," replied the reporter. "I have nothing to say," repliec Spotted Tail. ""What do you mean?" inquired th< reporter. " I have nothing to say," reiteratec old Spot. Some one who seems to have beer posted, said to the reporter, "You give him ?5 and he'll talk." The correspondent did so, and Spottec Tail then began talking and answering all questions for quite a little while, until, when right in the middle of ar interesting subject, he suddenly stopped. " What's the matter ?" asked the puzzled newspaper man. ? T liovfl talked $n worth."' acswerec Spot. So tlie reporter handed hid over an other $5 bill, and Spotted Tail went 01 and finished the interview. A government official from Washing' ton some years ago had a talk witl Spotted Tail about the benefits'of edu cation and religion. The old chief hearc him patiently all the way through, anc then said: "My friend, when you g< back you may tell the Great Father t< hnrry up and send school teachers ou here to teach my people and my chil dren to read and write, so they can com mit forgery, and make a living like th< whites." When the Commissioner of Indiai Affairs in 1875 talked about civilizing the Indians, and requested him to hav< niem inrow asiue tueir war pttiub aui native costumes and adopt the civilizec dress which would be furnished then by the Government, he replied tha: dress was a mere outside show, and thacivilization must come from within.
