Mr. Rufus Hatch, the well-known

the power of computation?a vast empire
of wealth, whose development has
scarcely been yet begun.

native country, New Zealand, Honolulu,
California and Nevada. He found

ten years whom he pronounces per

| ; Science is to utilize the Washington
^monument. The signal office expects
to have a permanent station at its
summit, and the officers say that observation
of the air and atmospheric
movements taken at an altitude of 550
feet will be of great value. Observations
are taken, of course, at far
greater altitudes than this, but the
gradual slope of even the most precipitous
mountains and the presence of
large masses of rock near the observa
tory create surface currents, even on
mountain heights, and interfere with
the study of the phenomena of the
higher level of the atmosphere.

about the only seclusion we can have
while traveling through the country."

Estimates of the wheat crop of the
United States vary from 490,000,000
bushels to 570,000,000 and 600,000,000.
It is barely ten years since the surplus
wheat of the United States began to
fill the granaries of Europe, barely
twenty since our exports began to be
serious, and a little over a generation
ago the seaports of the country imported
grain in bad years. Before" 1860 the
"United States did not export an average

The DlscoTery of Diamonds in Brazil.
Often, down to 1729, the gold hunters
bad noticed in the bottoms of the bowls

little bright crystals to which they attached
no value. The brilliancy of
these crystals, their hardness and their
regular form, as if shsped by the hand,
hid indeed attracted the attention of
the miners, and many had saved them
to use as counters in play; but gold
alone had any value in the eyes of these
adventurers. At this epoch, according
to the least uncerfcrin tradition, a monk,
who had taken part in the search for diamonds
in India, recognized the nature
of these counters. He told hfc discovI<

Jnot a Hint.
In Holland they have a way of plant!
ing potatoes that may have importance
j i._- 1
euvugii to rewnuiueuu iu> tn<u uex e.
The land is first thrown into beds by the
spade or plow. These beds are from ten
to twenty feet wide, and are crowning
in the middle, with trenches upon each
side. Upon these beds the potatoes are
planted with a heavy punch or ground
auger, from four to six inches deep, and
from twelve to fourteen inches apart
each way. During the season the surface
is kept free from weeds, but no
hilling is ever done. The various kinds
of grains are always sown upon similar
beds and kept equally free from weeds.
Onions are usually sown broadcast. The j
tilled lands are kept as free from weeds j
as our best kept gardens in America.
Greasing Wakens.
An ordii ary farm wagon, one which, j
while it may be used nearly every day
for heavy hauling, is seldom driven
faster than the walk of an average
farm team, should be greased well
I every Monday morning, as should be
the cart; and by making a set time to
do it it will rarely be forgotten. A farm.
wagon, a spring one, which goes to
mill, to market, and to divers other
places at an ordinary jog-trot, should
be greased after it has run forty or fifty
miles, according to the speed, while a
light carriage, being driven faster, and
having less surface or room for th.e
grease, should be greased after it has
run every thirty miles or so, always
wiping the spindle clean and bright before
applying the grease. For carriages
use only sperm or castor oil, and only a
few drops on each spindle; but for
heavy business or farm wagons use the
common axle-grease, free from salt.
Decomposing Raw Bone.
To decompose bone by means of
quicklime and sulphate of potash, the
bones may be placed in ajpit and mixed
with a quantity of quicklime, enough
at least to envelop every piece of bone
in a quantity of lime. The sulphate
of potash is then dissolved in water,
and the solution carefully thrown
upon the lime, so that it is all absorbed,
and none is wasted. The bone and
lime may be heaped above the surface
and covered with leaves and earth.
and the solution may be poured upon
the bone and lime through holes in the
covering until the whole is moist. A
considerable heat will be produced,
which should be kept in by renewing
the covering of earth as it is burst
open by the swelling of the lime. The
effect is to form sulphate of lime and
acustic potash and to soften the bone
so that after a few weeks it can be
easily reduced to powder. The whole
may then be shoveled together and
mixed, making a valuable and convenient
and rich compost.
Food for Heifer Calves.
For the first three to six months skim
milt is nr?e> of t.hp nf all frwta fnr
heifer calves. This is rich in casein
and albumen to grow the muscles and
nervous tissues, and also in phosphate
of lime for the bones and in other mineral
constituents of the animal body.
It is better than whole milk for this purpose,
for that contains too much fat to
gjve a full development to the muscles
and bones. "When the calf is very
young the oil in new milk is very serviceable
in keeping up a high
degree of animal heat and also to
n. lit/Hp ripp/Ip/l f?f tn thp lpnn
bodv of a new born calf; and for this :
reason it is well to add a little boiled
flaxseed to skim milk, a tablespoonful
of flaxseed jelly for a young calf, and
increase it very gradually as it gets
older. The flaxseed will prevent constipation
from the skim milk. After
two months old, if milk is not plenty,
that may be reduced, and ground oats
and bran substituted in its stead. New

A Pica for the Pig.
There is nothing more positive than
that the present condition of swine in
the list of live stock is undeserved.
The result of judicious breeding and
good care is a product of wholesome
pork, fit for the most fastidious taste.
It has been the rule to ignore the rightI
fnl rwiition nf t.hp hnmhlp rvifr arid t,o
j generally relegate him to a condition
i where he becomes simply the farm
j scavenger. When other stock has been
i allowed to eat all that is nutritious in a
field, or has exhausted the contents of a
corn crib, the swine are turned in to eat
up the remains and to mingle with this
refuse the dirt, and in many cases germs
of disease left by their more fortunate
fellow candidates for the market. If the
farmer has anything abont his premises
which no other class of stock will
touch, because of its repulsive character,
the swine are called on to regale
themselves with the unsavory mess.
Whole droves of swine are fed in this
way for two-thirds of every year, and
just before killing time, in order to present
good round bodies and get all the
lard possible, they are stuffi?d with
decent food and called corn-fed hogs.
The germs of disease, however, have
been planted previous to this time, and
the unfortunate "scavenger" goes to
the block or packing-houses, in altogether
too many instances, with his
flesh full of parasites caused by viawholsome
feed, nasty pens and other

result of a system of almost criminal
neglect. To insure wholesome pork,
cleanliness and good, wholesome feed
are necessary, and the apparent carelessness
in preparing s>vine for the
market is, to say the least, very censurable.
Pigs, from the moment they
are weaned, should be afforded clean

Farm and Garden Notes.
Old orchards can be renovated successfully
by the use of ashes.
Vegetables make good feed for hogs,
j and they ought to have all they will
cat.
Always keep a piece of salt in your
horses' mangers. They will never eat
too much of it.
I It is said a dip, of water one gallon,
benzine eight ounces and cayenne pepper
two ounces, will kill vermin on
sheep.
Xever buy cheap seed. The best seed
is the cheapest?cheaper at any price
than poor seed that can be had for the

Charred corn is one of the best things
which can, be fed to hens to make them

Don't forget to lay out a little garden

vegetables, it matters not which, if the
children can thereby be interested in
garden-work. Let them have the best

so spent will be well invested.
The Garden Monthly says: It has
only recently been clearly demonstrated
that a dead "branch on a tree makes almost
as great a strain on the main
plant for moisture as dpes a living one.

The essentials for getting a sure and

Country Gentleman, are a fresh soie
well tilled, deep planting, avoidancel,
of rank fermenting manures, the use
of good wood ashes, potash, salt, lime
and plaster of paris?the last up to the
time of blossoming. Then, with good
culture and seasonable applications of
paris green to the head of the Colo

reasonably looked for.
The Efgpe Stock JRccord says colic in
horses is often brought on by feeding
hay passed through cornstalk cutters,
mixed with meal, middlings or bran,
then wet up. The horse eats this food,
thus prepared so rapidly that it is not
properly masticated, and consequently
becomes so clodded in the stomach as
to cause indigestion, followed by colic,
more especially if directly after eating
he is allowed to drink heartily of water,

There is no more healthful method of
keeping the stables, sheds and pens clean
than to give them a good coat of limewash.
The wash is easily and quickly
made as follows: Slake a bushel of fresh
lime in a pork or other barrel, with water
enough to make a thick paste, after
which fill up the barrel with hot water,
and let it staid for a few hours. This
wash may be applied in various ways.
It may be spread upon the walls with a
large whitewash brush, and no pains
need be taken to do a neat job. Y?'hatever
wash falls upon the floor in the
operation is not lost, but helps to
sweeten the stable or stalL The quickest
and most satisfactory method is to
use a force pump, by wMch the limewash

Recipes.
Legion Cream Cakes.?One cup of
butter, one and one-half cups of sugar,
two and one-half cups of flour, two
tablespoonfuls of baking powder, onehalf
cup of milk, three eggs. Bake in
layers and spread with a cream made of
the juice of two lemons, two-thirds of a
cup of sugar, one cup of butter, two
tablespoonfuls of flour, one egg.
Stewed Carrots.?Boil i;he carrots
until they are half done, then scrape
and cut into thick slices; put them
into a stewpan with as much milk as
mil naraiy cover mem, a very utue
salt and pepper and a small quantity of
chopped parsley ; simmer them until
they are perfectly tender, but not
broken. When nearly done add a piece
of butter rolled in flour. Serve hot.
Sour Kraut.?Thoroughly scald out
your barrels and the cutter, tubs, etc.,
to be used in making the kraut. Strip
off the outer leaves of the cabbages,
halve them, remove the heart and cut
as fine as necessary. Pui some clean
leaves in the bottom of the barrel,
sprinkle over them a handful of salt,
fill in a half bushel of the cut cabbage
and stamp gently with a pestle until
the juice appears in it; then add another
handful of salt and more cabbage, as
before. Proceed until the barrel is full;
then cover with cabbage leaves and
press down with a board just fitting inside
the top of the barrel weighted
with a twelve or fifteen pound stone.
Set away in a cool place and remove to
a cellar when danger of hard freezing
is nigh. In six weeks the kraut is fit
for use and the barrels may be headed
for market.
Pickling Cucumbers.?" How did
you put them down ?" " By what is
called- the 'dry salting method'?that is
I did not make a brine, but I covered
the bottom of the barrel with salt, then
poured in a bushel of pickles, poured
on them half a peck of salt, gave the
barrel a shake and repeated till it was
full. In twenty-four hours they would
make brine enough to cover them and
would settle down till the barrel would
be scarcely half full; then I would fill
up again, and still a third and fourth
time, and then fit in a loose cover or
follower and put a stone on it to keep
the pickles under brine. A forty-gallon
barrel will hold from two thousand
five hundred to four thousand pickles,
according to the size, and put up in
this way. I have kept them two or
three years. I think that they make a
much better and wholesome pickle if

HonnehoM Hints.
Rancid butter can be made sweet if
worked thoroughly in sweet milk.
Shells can be cleaned by washing
them in cold water and then boiling
in milk.
Powdered borax will drive away ants
and cockroaches if sprinkled where
they frequent.
Gold lace may be cleaned by rubbing
it with a soft brush, dipped in rock
alum burnt and sifted to a very fine
powder.
The best tomato for pickling is the
size of a large walnut. It should be
of a good healthy green, with one side
j just beginning to show a tinge of red.
i To keep seeds from the depredations
of mice mix some pieces of camphor
with them. Camphor placed in trunks
or drawers will prevent mice from
doing them injury.
An ingenious way to make a pair of
vases appear to be larger than they
really are is to get two blocks of wood,
in size and shape about like a quart|

MASSACRE OF SAX CHKISTOI AL.
"The Bloodieat Picture in the Book of TiKie,"
ait Described by m.n Eye-\Vitne??.
On the evening of January 14,1881,
; the Chilian army had succeeded in advancing
from the camp at Lurin to a
! line in front of Lima, -which embraced,
: frc 1 Chorillos on the left to San Christobal
on the right, a distance of six
1 miles. The intrepid Colonel Patricio
: Lynch, of the Chilian center grand
envision, naa conceived me idea 01 as1
saulting the almost inaccessible heights
of San Christobal, on which were
mounted some four heavy rifled canon
at such an altitude that they could be
made to sweep the horizon at a distance
of four miles over an area of sixty degrees.
This, then, was the grand point
of attack". The Dictator Pierolahad
held the center of his lines as the keypoint,
and in consonance with his
many errors of judgment left his fianks
unprotected.
The Chilian army had been promised
the loot of the city in case of success,
and as their plan of action on
all other occasions was indiscriminate
murder, the Peruvians hoped for little
from them. "What there was of bravery
in the Peruvians was at fever heat.
Even the priesthood came out in force,
and by their counsel and advice sought
to raise up the drooping spirits of the
weaker ones in the trenches. All
through that night, in the heavy and

the sonorous Domnius vobiscum o;: the
priests as they went from point to point
to pray with and encourage the men.
Afar off and for miles out on the plain
below could be seen the Chilian forces
at their fires, their ribald shouts and
songs floating back on the still nir, a
strange contrast to the holy effort s of
the besieged forces on the hill.
A great number of women and
children had sought protection on the
hill, fearing the capture of Lima, and
knowing the fate which awaited them
in that event. Their pitiable plight
would touch the heart of a Cromwell.
Patrician ladies who had been nurtured
in ease and affluence, were sharing
their hastily-caught coverings with
the poor Creole and Indian, a mutual
danger breaking down the barrier of
caste, which in that country is very
stronsr. Such food as could be ob
tained was distributed, and hunger
forced the rich and poor alike to eat.
All .through the night alternating
hope and fear possessed the men and
would reflect themselves upon the fc elpless
women and children, who would
pour out such touching prayers to
"Mary" that the onlooker involuntarily
doffed his cap and knelt in reverent
attitude to assist in the prayer. A
beautiful sight was the heroic conduct
of the sisters of charity. These good
women moved about among all, with}\r

cool action than all the pronunciamentos
promulgated by Pierola.
Thus the night wore on, and It will
forever live in the memories of the surr
viving participants as a night of horror
and misery.
At 4:30 in the morning the bugles of
the Chilian army sounded " boots and
saddles," and instantly the plains below
were in commotion. Bodies of troops,
horse and foot, could be seen taking
position for action. The final hour had
come, and with a tremulous Jip the
Peruvian commander, Montoro (on the
hill V saw the fearful odes he had to
combat.
The Chilian General Lynch advanced
on the center and attacked the troops
under Dictator Pierola. A short, sharp
and deadly struggle ensued, in which a
heavy loss was sustained by the Chilians?and
lo! the Chilian line falls
back. This is witnessed with breathless
interest from the hill, and as soon
as the Chilian line could be seen in retreat
the whole garrison, including
women and children, knelt in prayer

the feeling of fear came over all, and
they shouted in glee. It was a shortlived
joy, however, as in ten minutes
the Chilians reformed under cover of
artillery and again came to the assault.
The Peruvian forces were over confident,
and ere they knew the movement
of Lynch were broken in the center
and driven back a full mile into their
intrenchments. This move left the
flank of the hill uncovered, and more
open to attack. Joining both wings of

[ approaches to the ascent. Up these ap[
proachcs the Chilians flew in a "column

accompanied by a number of clergymen,
and in tones of supplication sought
protection for the women and children,
promising a surrender of the hill. This
short time gave both sides an opportunity
to recover their senses, and, true
to the treacherous nature cf both countries,
they began the assault again. This
time the Chilians tore away the barricade
only to leave a holocaust of death
in its stead, so hot had been the fire.
Up they clambered, each forming a
- ' - v
dead stepping-stone xor ins iouuwa,
until the top of the hill was gained;
here a fierce hand-to-hand fight ensued,
but the Peruvian troops, never
brave in battle, had caught the national
fear, and were clambering down
on the opposite side, leaving their defenseless
countrywomen a prey to the
Chilians. Then began "the bloodiest
picture in the book of time." The
Chilians shot and stabbed indiscriminately
women and children, rich and
poor, churchman and layman, and, to
crown tneir aemomac aumevemem,,,

FOE THE FAIE SEX,
Pretty .">Iericans.
The Mexican women are wonderfully
graceful. This is partly due to
their mainer of carrying baskets and
bundles, begun in early childhood.
i watched a .Mexican girl carry an
immense basket of clothes home to be
laundried. First she selected from the
basket a cowl, and twisting it tightly,
wound it round and round
until the circumference was the size of
her head, on which she placed it; then,
helped by a companion, she lifted the
basket, weighing at least thirty pounds,
on top of the roll. She balanced it by
touching it lightly, first with one hand
and then the other. After she had
gone a short distance she folded her
hands in her shawl, walking with the
greatest ease ana unconsciousness.?

A Cow and a. Calf as a Dlarriage Foe.
The Austin Siftings, ii its comic
history of Texas says thai; in the old
colonial days "there was very little
money in Texcs. Cattle were the circulating
medium of the country. A
year-old s~eer was the basis of circulation
in all matters of trade." This is
pretty ne<j the literal trutb. Paschal
Borden, a brother of Gail. Thomas, and
John P. Borden, once told a gentleman
now connected with the News that
when he and his bride rode to the parsonage
of Padre Muldoon to be married
they drove before them a cow and
a calf as t-he fee of the Driest. In the
early days of Virginia tobacco was the
medium of exchange, and in some of
the new States of the "West it used to
be said that raccoon skins were a legal

Autumn and Winter Bonnets.
Small capotes, others of medium
sizes, and the large Recamier pokes are
the bonnets found in the importations
of autumn and winter millinery. Very
small bonnets similar to the Alsatian
capotes worn here are the favorite with
Paiisiennes, and will probably be the
leading style for use in city streets
during the approacliing season. The
newest note bonnets are hnwpvpr so
quaint and picturesque that they will
find, favor with young ladies, while
their appearance of warmth and comfort
will commend them to those who
are older. The small bonnets are of velvet
for nice occasions, and of
felt for general wear. The
frames are lifted slightly in front,
and the crowns are large and square,
and will fit the back of the head snugly.
The velvet is laid close and smooth on
the frame, and its edgings may be relieved
by narrow piping folds of the
same or of lighter shade, or several rows
of gold cord are placed around the brim.
Another fancy is that of shirred tucks of
velvet, four in number, covering the
outside of She brim. The facinc inside
these small brims is usually smooth
plain velvet or perhaps ridged plush,
and there are still many bead ed edges of
brims, while others have colored beaded
lace drooping over the brim. Trimmings
are very simple on such bonnets,
consisting merely of a thick, very
tightly rolled, twist, of satin around the
crown, or else a flat band of doubled
Ottoman repped silk, or of ribbon and
some smjill prim bows of repped
rihbon or of doubled velvet,
with an antique gilt or silver
buckle in the bows. The ornament
usuauy is a, single large Dini on tne lert
side or two or three smaller ones in a
cluster near the front, or a panache, or
an aigrette of ostrich feathers. The
strings are velvet or else repped ribbon
three or four inches wide, and these are
each a yard long. Two cocks' heads
with some of the breast feathers are
placed far forward on the left side of a
dull green velvet bonnet, while a white
bird, either a dove or pigeon, is a favorite
ornament for bonnets of any of the
new colors. Small pompons male of
fp?t.hf?rs arp nlnr&f] in a nlnstpr on t.hf
left side of a small bonnet, and 011 the
opposite side will be velvet plaitings;
there are sometimes ten or twelve of
these pompons, each of a different
shade.?Bazar.

XIFE IN THE LAGOOXS.
Stories Told by Southern Alligator Fishers
and Turtle Hunters.
The St. Louis Olobe-Democrat says:
In conversation with a reporter, Mr.
Will Smith, who was for a long period
keeper at the jetties when they were
in course of construction, told some
curious stories about alligators, wliich
were very numerous there and through
the marshes. The men became so accustomed
to them that they would
hardly turn aside to avoid the largest,
and on Sundays it was quite a common
amusement to shoot them, sometimes
half a dozen or a dozen being secured
in an afternoon. It is a mistake to
suppose that a rifle ball will not penetrate
an alligator's hide, as one from a
"\rin/>VtA??for if in fKa fho

toughest part, will generally take the
whole top of the skull off. Northern
people visiting the jetties were anxious
to see alligators, and one icunense
fellow, apparently seventeen feet in
length, was encouraged to stay in the
river in the vicinity, and was known
as Colonel Andrew's pet. The colonel
was quite incensed at one time by the
fact that one of the men fired at his favorite
with a revolver, and by discoverin<r

who was said to have hooked a whale,
had made preparations to catch
the alligator by means of a
rope, a huge shark hook,
and twelve pounds of beef. Although
the bait was shoved invitingly under
the reptile's nose as he lay on the bank
in the sun, he was too shrewd or not
hungry enough to be tempted. " The
pet" remained about a year or two, and
may still be there. One evening as
some men were at work unloading a
barge of rock|a huge alligator arose out
of the water alongside, and one of the
men pitched a fifteen-pound stone at it
which, from a height of twelve or

head. The head must have been
smashed, hard as it was, for the
saurian, after turning half a dozen
somersaults and going through a number
of antics, sunk slowly and seemed
dead. Mr. Smith was coming down
the river one Sunday in a perogue with
another man, a late arrival, when they
saw an enormous alligator asleep on
the bank. Smith proposed having
some fun with him, and without disfiiWKin/r

side, and crowding the boat ashore,
stood up in it and began a vigorous attack
on the sleeper with paddles. Contary
to their4*expectations, the sluggard
started toward them in his hurry to
reach the water, and crawling over the
boat, upset them into mud knee deep
and filled the boat with filth and
water. Their clothes were ruined, and
they were pretty thoroughly disgusted
on ascertaining that the alligator had
lost an eye. They had attacked him
from the blind side, and he ran over
them before he found where the
trouble started.
There are numerous individuals in
the South who make a living by killing
and catching alligators. The hide
of a large one is worth from $1 to
$2; but it is very hard work to take
it off, and is almost a day's task.
From the flesh a very strong and
quite valuable oil is made, which is
used for many purposes, but principally
as a remedy for rheumatism. It
has, however, a most unpleasant
smell unless properly treated. Many
fisherman have been known to eat portions
of the meat, that of the tail being
said, when cooked, to have much the
appearance of veal and taste something
like pork. Quite a lucrative business
is that of capturing alligators alive
frycond flwiiv fnr exhibition. Colonel
Williams, when Spanish Fort was made
a summer resort, made a contract
with a fisherman to fill the hole
known as the alligator pond for
him, and in the course of a couple of
week he had it stocked with thirty or
forty, ranging in length from six inches
to seven or eight feet. The man who
caught them showed no fear in handling
the huge reptiles, and for $5 offered
to get into the hole and throw the
largest one out over the paling by
which it was surrounded. They are
said to exhibit a wonderful alacrity in
" going for " a colored person, and dogs
are their favorite diet, while they will,
as a general thing, endeavor to avoid
a white man. The man who supplied
the pond and his companion have been
known to bring into camp in a small
skilf an alligator sixteen feet long and
furious with rage.

feat was, as ke explained, quite simple.
The old are savage and will fight for
their young, and this fact is taken advantage
of. Some of the young are
caught out of the spot in which the old
one is lying, and a stout-noosed rope is
then placed where to emerge she must
thrust her head through it. "When all
is ready the young are allowed to cry
out, and the old lady thrusts out her
head to have her neck caught in the
noose. She is dragged around in the
water until pretty well choked, when
another noose is secured on her tail,
and she is firmly strapped, stomach
downward, as her powerful muscles in

head is then fastened to the boat,
the noose about her neck is removed,
and she is towed away after her young
have been placed in the skiff. Young
ones are bought by dealers for from
two dollars to four dollars a dozen, if
not over a foot in length. When they
sell them they get a much higher price,
I jus they arc hard to preserve alive.
The large ones are sold differently,
there being an increase in price of fifty
cents to one dollar for every additional
foot over a certain length. Alligators
sixteen or eighteen inches long are
frequently found by the dozens in
shallow water and can be handled

i who is generally near, does not take
j the alarm. Most alligator fishers are
I usually turtle hunters also, and search
j along the shores of bayous and lagoons
! for the holes of the animals. "When
the hole is discovered it is explored with
a long pole with a big hook set in the
end, and if the unfortunate resident is
at home he is promptly dragged out
in spite of his struggles and quickly
appears in market. The eye of a
young alligator, when closely examined
in a strong light, is a queer and
rather pretty sight, having all the fire
;ind much the appearance of an opal of
a similar size.

to the faded hieroglyphics on the inside
of the robe, "that was painted by a
Sioux Indian artist seventy years ago,
and for many winters kept warm the
body of one of the greatest chiefs that
tribe ever produced. That robe was his
treasure, and for it lie fought and many
of his best braves died."
" That's a good speech and well delivered,
but it sounds like a snake
story," remarked the cedar shover, as
ttie gentleman paused, out of breath.
"Xo, it is no snake story, and I will
show you why I value that robe so
much. My father was a Georgian, and
when Georgia sent her soldiers to the
Mexican war he shouldered his gun
and went along. From the time he
left home till the treaty of peace was j
signed he staid with his regiment, and j
when at last he came home that robe j
was all he brought with him. He put j

room. To his family he told how he

was scouting with a detachment of his !
regiment and came upon a band of
Indians. A fight was the result,
and after a few volleys the Indians
retreated, or rather those who
could do so. Among the wounded
was an old chief, and when the soldiers
came up to where he lay on the battlefield
there was some "talk of killing
him, for he was recognized as the most
heartless, cruel and fearless Indian on
the plains, but my father interfered
and from his own canteen put water
between the wounded chief's parched
lips. But his wounds were mortal and
soon all knew that the cruel, heartless
chief was dying. Just before death
he beckoned my father to his side and
by signs gave him that robe. That is ,
how it came into the family."
" And that is why you wouldn't take J

war came on I enlisted, and when !
my old father sent my tricks to the j
camp he sent that robe. I
did not want to take it, because
it was so cumbersome, but when he
insisted I yielded. Well, I went to
Virginia, and while trotting around
after Stonewall Jackson, lost the robe.
I was greatly worried over my loss,
and used every exertion to recover the
old robe. Everybody in my regiment j
knew of the robe, its history and its j
loss, and every one kept an eye open ,
for it. "Well, about the time of Cross j
Keys and Port Republic fights, I
learned one day that my robe was in ;
Stonewall Jackson's tent. I went to;
see, and sure enough it was there. {
When I entered the tent, or rather j
looked into the tent, old Stonewall!
was lying upon the robe. Finally, I
mustered courage to tell him of my i
loss. He heard my story with patience, j
and then said that the robe had been
brought him about a week before by \
an Alabama soldier. He offered to sur-:
render it. but I couldn't take it and j
told him to keep it?at the same!
time giving him its history?and I!
would get it after the war if he did not j
lose it. Well, he kept it. At the battle
of Chancellorsville he received his
death-wound, and when he died he
died on the robe, and I believe some of
that red which looks like paint is some
of the hero's blood. After his death j
I claimed the robe, then doubly dear ;
to me, and sent it home. Now, would j
you take $5,000 for it? lean prove;
every word of my story true."

his day, as he strutted about the meeting-house,
liee did spy Mr. Tomlins,
Bleeping with much comforte, his
head kept steady by being
in ye corner, and his hand
grasping ye rail. And soe spying, Allen
lid quickly thrust his staff behind
Dame Ballard and give him a grievous
prick vpon ye hand. Whereupon M.
Tomlins did spring vpp mch above ye
floor and with terrible force strike wth
his hand against ye wall, and also, to ye
great wonder of all, prophainlie exclaim,
in a loud voice, cuss ye woodchuck;
he dreaming, as it seemed, yt a
woodchuck had seized and bit his hand.
But on comeing to know where hec

first prepared and introduced by Zir.
Geo. VV. Merchant, in Lociport, N.
S. A., 1832, since which time it has
steadily grown in public favor, and is
now acknowledged and admitted by the
trade *o be the standard liniment of the
country. When we mate this announcement
we do so without fear of contra *
^ nofnHthiitandin? we arc aware.
ttii?re arc many who are more or less
prejudiced against proprietary remedies
especially on account of the many hnmbega
on the -market; however, we are
pleaded to state that ouch prejudice does
not exiat against GARGI.ING OIL. We ao not
L-iaim wonder* or miracles for our Jinlment, bat we
<2o claim it is without an equal. It is pet ud in bot>e-g
tics of three sizes, and all wo
ask is that yon fflve U a fair
fKaT trial. remcTcbcring that tbe OQ
put up with white wrapper
(small) is for human and fowl
flesh, and that witlv yellow
^^*^->2228^ mapper (three sizes) for animal
flesh. Try a bottle.
As these cuts indicate, the Oil is nsed successfully
for all diseases of the human, fowl and animal
ieth. Shake well before using.
Cannot be Disputed.
/* One of the principal reasons at
V*r-<gythe wonderful success of Mery
chant's Gargling Oil Is that it is
" apn 'tit'Z? manufactured strictly on honor.
Its proprietors do not, as is the
case with too many, after making
for their medleine a name, diminish
its curarlre properties by nsing inferior com
pounds, bat use tne rery beat goods to oe Doagnt n
Mthe market, regardlesaof coet. For
half a century Merchant's Gargling
Oil has been a synonym lot ^sSs
honesty, and will continue to be
so, long as time endure*. For
ale by all respectable dealers
ihronghout the United States and ether countries.
