Prairie Dogs. Venders of prairie dogs -are occasion-1 ally encountered on the TJuion Pacific j Ra railroad, nays a writer in Frank Leslie's | Illustrated Newspaper, with their liviug j prey carefully boxed up. Aud Mips*5 j i quaint little animals deserve mote than ! a passing notice. Their Utile villages i r are seen on every eido for many miles j ^01" after leaving Sydney, and are neverfailing sources of interest to travelers I ;v j The animals are always fat, and flr** vft] about sixteen inches long, and of a gray- > \.ei ish-red color. The Indians eat them, ^ professing to prefer them to squirrels, They live undergrou_.n extensive com. ; munities, iu slanting burrows, termi* i uating, after a descent of nix ov eight I feet, in wide chambers, The*o latter pr( thev sagaciously excavate at a little nj, higher point tltwi the bottom of the pas- ; wa sages, whereby their larger apartments, ^o: which tliev sometimes share with rattle- | j)n snakes and owls, are not subject to bo 1 an( overflowed by rain-storms. The little j fellows squat like rabbits on their plump : ^ w.uuuuco an mv CUHIUItt'S WJ Mieir OUT- i q? rows, peering inquisitively about them fl(], iu every direction. At the approach of i Qjj an intruder they give a quick, nhurp j^\] yelp, hot loud enough to bo called a , bark, and disappear headforemost into j aU( the earth. But their curiosity is more ! p], powerful than their timidity, and in a j short time their little noses are seen ! iut emerging from the holes as they peep 1 cautiously out to discover the source of Yo their alarm. They are somewhat diffi- ' ftn, cult to shoot, as they are as rapid as swallows in their movements, and for , me the same reason ft is not always easy to uir capturo them alive. Mr. Leslie bought 0V( a couple of the little fellows on the ??0 homeward trip. The boy who offered Qj] them for sale had secured them in a box ; {'li( with three thin slats of wood, and it Was ; not long before they set vigorously to ! brc work to gnaw their way out with their r sl\'irp tgeth: A handful of grass wa3 cej given them, which they ate with avidity, i and so long as they were plentifully feu there was no further effort on their part : 187; to work their way into liberty: They * ate grass ravenously, showing an especial i87t predilection for clover. They kept in good condition until they reached Sara- \ toga, where their history suddenly and 1 M uuhappily ended. The box coataining them was deposited temporarily on the Tot sward, near Mr. Leslie's summer resi- _Vn dence, until a servant could take them wa: in charge, but when he arrived they had pG1 disappeared from the cage. T'<e little I 2 3 creatures doubtless enjoyed Bo greatly l jjn] the smell of the fresh sod and the glimpse , 0tli of frewlnm frvnn lw..1 i n long boen debarred, that they attacked fitt the imprisoning slats with determina- , fret tion, and gnawed their way to liberty. ; Wi Apples. |gg "With us the use of the apple, as an stei article of food, is far underrated. Be- j 51 sides containing a large amount of sugar, gta mucilage and other nutritive matter, 0f ( apples contain vegetable acids, aromatic Gf t qualities, etc., which act powerfully in the the capacity of refrigerants, t <nics and ! 0f t antiseptics, and when fretly used at 1 g the season of mellow ripeness they pre- JUiv vent debility, indigestion, and avert, to t without doubt, many of the " ills that ! facj flask is heir to." The operatives of gjj, Cornwall, England, consider ripe apples ; p()1 nearly as nourishing as bread, and far j 0f f more so than potatoes. In the year 180i j whi ?which was a year of much scarcity? ; cor apples, instead of being converted into cag( cider, were sold to the poor, and the tak laborers asserted that they could " 6tand j er ] their work" on baked apples without | for meat; whereas a potato. diet required j ter, either meat X>r some other substantial j "j nutriment. The French and Germans ' jjri use apples extensively; so do the inhabi- 1 citj tants of all European nations. The I w]i( laborers depend upon them as an article | ioc] of food, and frequently make a dinner of j twe sliced apples and bread. There is no . ahi] fruit cooked in as many different ways i aiu] in our country as apples, nor is there | Up-f any fruit whose value, as an article of Y01 natriment, is as great aud so little ap- Mr. p^ociated,?

If two glass | Am balls are made to strike eacli other at a j yor given force, the recoil, by virtue of their pjjj elasticity, will be nearly equal to their g[U( original impetus. Connected with its cre!! hrittleness are some very singular facts. gje Take a hollow sphere, with a hole, and assi stop the hole with the finger, so as to * prevent the external and internal air from communicating, and the sphere will fly to pieces by the mere heat of the hand. Vessels made of glass, that have been suddenly cooled, possess the an" curious property of being able to resist wor: hard blows given to them from without, 'ie^c but will be instantly shivered by a small cora particle of flint dropped into their envi- W ties.. This property seems to depend upon the comparative thickness of the 19 * bottom; the thicker the bottom is, the P"a more certain of breakage by this ex- *n e' periment. Some of these vessels, it is stated, have resisted the stroke of a mal- "WI let given with sufficient forcc to drive a !Uil] nail iuto wood ; and heavy bodies, such let"! as musket balls, pieces of iron, bits of 8?: wood, jasper, stone, etc., have been cast ^U1 into them from a height of two or three feet without any effect, yet a fragment ; "re of flint not larger than a pea dropped Hun from three inches high, has made them cl1^< fly. Vldl pen The Latest Things in Fans. rub There Ls very little difference in fans; ex" the latest are straight sticks, instead of curved. In lace fans, the new- "r01 est combines lice exquisitely fine paint- e7e] mgs on silk gauze; the pattern of the cue luce made with a view to answer as a escc framework for the pictures. There are 1 generally one large one in the center, eas* and a smaller in the left-hand corner. re^ One in roceo style was seen with wrought Peo Kearl sticks. The fan itself was kid, j ^ror eautifullv painted. This came as high j fPei as 8200. Sticks of opal pearl are con- j less sid?red quite oornmc il faut for lace fans j this year. For ladies in lighter mourn- j W"1 ing, smoked pearl sticks, covered with I P6? black lace, except in the center and left j Pa" side, which contain exquisite paintings j C0VI on black gauze, are all the rage. Albert, j the celebrated French fan painter, now ; puts his name in the lower right or left ' hand corner of the painting, in imitation ; , of his brother artists on a large sc: le; j of course the penchant for everything j jjc a la Japanese finds a ready outlet in fans; l <, the expensive ones in ivory with raised j . gold or silver lacquer work, are more at- j , tractive as an object of beauty, though | for their usefulness being rather heavy. j, j The tortoise shells in the same styles are [ ftva very* handsome, but expensive?hone less u r'r than $100.?London Truth. j ^ A Remarkable Suicidc. j not Perhaps the most remarkable suicide j on record has been committed in Sweden. ', A government official in the district of \ Ripsa, wearied by pecuniary difficulties, ', took a row with his wife and two children ! , e( upon a neighboring lake, ostensibly to 1 pass a few hour3 in fishing, but after l j getting to n. distance at which he could .ij do no harm to others, he applied a match to a quantity jf explosive material, sup- ! posed to be some form of dynamite, that 1 ' he had, unobserved, taken with him, and j ' blew the boat and its occupants literally | into fragments.

The history of the secret associations that sprang up during the latter days of the empire, would form a most curious and interesting volume, and there Would be no lack of material wherewith to fill it. The society of the tJiiited firothters alono, Should furbish pages of the tho nlost intense and absorbing interest, while nothing could appeal more forcibly to the imagination than the strange and dramatic episodes connected with its mysterious initiations. Perhaps an hundred incidents might be related as striking and well conceived as the following : An officer of the French army, having incurred the suspicion or resentment of the emperor, thought it expedient to abahdoh Ilia Country atid take refuge in one of the Austrian provinces, and here he became advised of and initiated into a society, the object of whose formation was to hutl to the ground the Colossus whoso arm smote and governed the whole continentof F.nronewitha Reenter of iron. One day ft letter was brought to him containing the usual signs and passwords of the socicty, and requiring him to repair oil the following night to a secluded spot in a forest, where he would meet some of his associates. He went, but found nobody. The orders were repeated four times, et intervals of a few days, and four times the-officer sought the appointed place, with no better success than at first. On the Lfth night of his appearance at the rendezvous, aft?r waiting some time, he was on the point of returning, when loud cries suddenly arrested his attention. Drawing his sworcl, he hastened to the spot whence they seemed to proceed, and was fired upon by three men, who, seeing that he was uuwounded, instantly took to flight; but at his feet lay a bleeding corpse, in which, by the feeble light of' the moon, he in vain sought for tokens of animation. He was yet bending over the dead man, when a detachment of chasseurs, summoned, apparently, by the noise of the pistols that had been discharged at himself, came suddenly up, and arrested him as the assassin. He was loaded with chains, tried the next day, and condemned to die for his supposed crime. His execution was ordered to take place at midnight. Surrounded by the ministers of justice, he was led, at a slow pace, by the light of torches, and amid the funeral tolling of bells, to a vast square, in the center of which was a scaffold, environed by horsemen; beyond these was a r\f frvonfnfai'o wlm mtif_ illimciuuo Ui D jL/t v> tfC* ivi o j Wliu muir tered impatiently, and, at intervals, sent forth a cry of abhorrence.

An edict had just been promulgated by the government, offering pardon and lifeany condemned criminal who should disclose the members and secret tokens of a particular association, the existence of which was suspected; it was that of which the Frenchman to whom these words were addressed had lately become a member. He was questioned, but denied all knowledge; they urged him to confess, with promises of additional reward?his only reply was a demand of immediate death?and his initiation was completed. All that had passed was but a terrible trial of his fidelity; those who surrounded him were members of the society, and every incident that has been described, from the time of the first summons to the last fearful moment of expected death, was only a step in the progress of the fearful experiment by which they Bought to determine the trustworthiness of the | neophyte. Matrimonial Advice. Marry in your own religion. Never both be angry at once. Never taunt -w ith a past mistake. Let a kiss be the preludo of a rebuke. Never allow a request to be repeated. Let self-abnegation be the habit of both. A good wife is the greatest earthly blessing. " I forgot," is never an acceptable excuse. If you must criticize, let it be done lovingly. Make a marriage a matter of moral judgment. Marry into a family which you have long known. Never make a remark at the expense of the other. Never talk at one another, either alone o.r in company. Give your warmest sympathies for each other's trials. If one is angry, let the other part the lips only ior a kiss. Neglect the whole world beside, rather than one another. Never speak loud to one another unless the house is on fire. L Let each strive to yield oftenest to the i wishes of the other. Always leave home with loving words, for they may be the last. Many into different blood and temperament from your own. Never deceive, for the heart, once misled, can never trust wholly again. It is the mother who moulds the character and fixes the destiny of the child. Never find fault uuless it is perfectly certain a fault has been committed. Do not lieiald the sacrifices you make to each other a tastes, habits, or preferences. Let all your mutual accommodations be spontaneous, whole-souled, and free as air. The very felicity is in the mutual cultivation of usefulness. Consult one another in all that comes within the experience, observation, or sphere of the other. A hesitating or gruui yielding to the wishes of the other always grates upon a loving heart. Never reflect on a past action which was done with a good motive, and with the beat judgment at the time. The beautiful in heart is a million times of more avail, as securing domestic happiness, than the beautiful in person, i They who marry for physical charac- ' teristics or external considerations will i fail of happiness.

Pennsylvania Republican State Convention The Republican State Convention of Penn sylvania met in Harrisburgh and nominated J T. 8territt for Judge, by acclamation ; Howarc J. Boeder, over J. A. M. Passmore. for Auditor General, by 165 to 82 votes, ana William B ; Hart for State Treasurer, by acclamatiom. Tb following resolutions were adopted : ; First?While we rccognizo and rcspect th i difference of opinion existing among us as t< | the course pursued by President Hayes towarc 1 1 the SdUth) we are heartily in accord in honor : iug the patriotic motives which have guidei hitil, and in hopiilg that the rcsultB of tlii pohcy will be peace, good will, and the com 1 plete recognition of the equal rights of al' mei in every section of the country ; and to the ef i forts of hit administration to carry into effec : the principles ol the platform upon which h was elected we pledge our hearty and cordia i support. Second?The Electoral Commission havinj teen created at the urgent solicitation of th Democratic Party, and after oft-repeatei declarations of its leaders in both Houses o Congress that no faction could cavil at it decisions, we witness with profound astonish ment tho assaults of that party upon the an gust tribunal of Its own creation because it decisions disappointed their expectations o official patronage; which assaults, so far a they seek to impair the confidence of th Eeople in the just title of the President to hi igh joffico, are equally childish and foolish - but may become extremely mischievous in as sisting to diminish the popular respect for th decisions of lrwful tribunals. Tho third resolution calls upon members o [ ] the State and National Legislatures to assie , the return of prosperity to the country b; [ adopting such measures as will conduce to th? j end. Tho fourth and fifth resolutions oppose an | grant of more than 160 acres of land to any on ! person, and also oppose the reissue of patent , by act of Congress. Sixth?The long and successful existenc under the laws of Congress of the double coi: f-tandard warrants us in demanding an earl repeal of the legislation which demonetize silver and established an almost exclusive gol standard, and we therefore favor a return t the free use and unrestricted coinaga of th dollar of 1798 and its restoration to the posi tion it held aB a legal tender during the Art eighty years of our national existence, thu preserving the equality of the commerciaU'alu of tPe silver dollar with the goid dollar, keep ing both in circulation. The seventh resolution indorses the admir istration of Gov. Hartranft. i Eighth -We aro in favor of law, and againe i lawlessness and anarchy, with all their attend I i ant horrors and crimes. Equal rights in mak ' {ing laws impose equal duties in obeying thee when made; and we tender our hearty thank i ; to Governor Hartranft and the officers and so] i diers of his command for the prompt and, w I : hope, the effectual suppression of the lawlet ' I disturbances which recently occurred in tho > ! State. | Ninth?That we hold in equal reBpect th I rights of capital to control its investments an 1 of labor to determine tho value of its services i j that we doprecato any abortion by violence c the riehts of other: and we assert it as th i duty of all citizens to hold their respectiv i J rights within the just limitations of tbe la' and that any attempt to coerco the other b : unlawful means shond be promptty represse I by such lawful authorities as the exigency d< mands. ' The remaining resolutions, except the ele^ ' enth, which favors a protective tariff, relat i ; entirely to 8tate affairs.

At noon of one c : the warmest days a horrible ponndini , and screeching was heard in the dia tance, and going out we saw bedlam at , vanciug : 100 Indians, painted red, ye] low, blue, and green, ornamented wit! | feathers and strings of small bells, wer j advancing, beating a tom-tom, screecb . iner with nil their might, and stoopini t over, danced from one foot to the other 1 Arrived in front of the house the, ' stopped nnd walked on to the parade j ranged themselves in a semi-circle, pu . their blankets under them and waitei > for the musicians to begin. The six o 1 eight members of their band, wrappei ; in gray blankets, were huddled around ! base drum, each armed with a substan i tial dram stick, and as they began tliei pounding the dai cers set up a Strang 1 chorus of shrill, chirping cries, an< | then darting to the middle, began danc , ing back and forth, around and tlirougl [ in a confused mass, themselves sti] singing, their bells rattling and feather I moving. The step consisted in raiaini the foot straight up, ballaucing up am . down on the other, nnd then changinj i positions, carrying it on to the end. j Two pauses were made to give . chance for breaking, and they begai ' | with redoubled vigor. A feathered ar II row was stuck in the gronud, and arouni it they circled and hopped more madl; 1 than ever, and at the second interlude 1 White Shield, a magnificent savage ove six feet in height, broad-shoulderei and muscular as a Hercules, stepped t< <he center and related some of his owi ' I _ 1 _ a ? 1 r ~ J glorious ueeus. ah iiib speeuu uuvuiiuet J his hearers granted their approbation | and when he had finished relating tli< | destruction of his enemy in the opei I field, an applausive " How 1" came fron I the red coryphces. Crimes of a Texas Outlaw. The father of John Wesley Hardin, wb ; was recently arrested in a railroad car ii : Alabama, was a preacher, who lived ii j Southwest Texas. As a boy he was remark I ably quiet, and gave no evidence of th ! terrible passions which, in after life, mad i him thirst for blood. When almost six | teen years of age, and while the stat I was under military rule, a colored ma: : on his father's place pro\ oked him, am i he shot him. For this he was place* ! under guard of some soldiers, who starte to Huntsville with him. As he wn only a boy they did not watch him ver closely, and at night lay down to sleep Hardin rose in the night and killed ever : one of them. This outlawed him. Hi ! next act was the murder of Jack Heln I ?t - e ? ii. ? j out ui windi grew tut) outtuu uuu aujiu j troubles, Hardin siding with the Taj j lors. His father anil brother got mixe ' up and were taken out 'and hung i : Western Texas. Prom this time on b ! was a desperado of the worst order. Mif fiouri and Kansas became the field c j operation, and before he left them h j added many more to the death list. I i those states there are at present large ri j wards offered for him. From there h ; . came back to Texas, and kept the borde ; in a state of terrorism. His last murde was the killing of Webb,* the deput sheriff of Brown county, at Comanchf ' It is estimated that in various parts c the county there are twenty thousan , dollars of rewards offered. Hardin is , young man, about twenty-seven or twer i ty-eiglit years of age, five feet eigli inches and one-half in height, weighs on | hundred and fifty pounds, has flaxe ; ! hair, blue eyes and not an unpleasan countenance.?Dalian (Texas) Hcrala Imitation Money. A Washington despatch says : Man ' complaints have reached the Treasur | department that merchants and businefi > men in various parts of the countr > have been in the habit of printing busi 1 ness cards bearing such a close resen: | blance to the United States and na'.ionr . | bank issues that many people have bee r: deceived thereby and quantities of i I passed as good money by parties wh Jj nave gathered a number of these cardf ; j Some of the samples received at th ' *"1 L CI TkJirtoirtYl V? ai'A nf J ; oecrtjb OCU VIUO Vaoav/jj itc*v v* - 1 character to deceive even observai j persons, while they bear upon thei ' ! face the fact that they are not reall ~; genuine.

The cost of the Pittsburgh riot to that - city alone is estimated at $4,500,000, : which is more than one-fortieth of its . entire assessed valuation. This is equal . to a tax of $32.15 for every man, woman b and child, supposing the city to be held responsible. ' Gen. F. A. Walker's article in The Interna_ lionai HevietP, Just published, upon the display j of goods and wares at the Philadelphia World's s Fair, last year, points out the gratifying fact " that in several prominent mechanical specialties the long established supremacy of this country t is easily shown to be unimpaired. In reapers, 0 locks, sofas and sewing machines America leadf 1 tho world, while in scales for commercial use, Gen. Walker says that "time and recentinveu 5 tion havo not impaired the superiority of ? American goods.

Seth W. Fowle & Sons, Boston: e Gentlemen?About ten years ago, after havs ing had a severe attack of measles, I wat if troubled with a severe cough and was threat' . ened with consumption. My father having o died at the age of thirty-one with consumptior of the lungs, and my aunt having been carriec f off with the same complaint, it seems to b< t hereditary in our family.
