An Indian Dauco. Referring to the shooting of cattle by the Indians at Standing Rock Agency, Dakota, Harper's Weekly says: The animals belonging to the government are corralled and then shot down by a selected party, after which there is an exciting rush for the tongues of the slaughtered beasts, each man being allowed to take as many as he can cut out and carry away. This takes place every ten days, ana is renamed as line spun. i>ui me meiry - making ? the "high time," as they call it ? comes afterward. The Indians assemble in a log-house, and hold a general jollification meeting. The; chief feature of the entertainment is the t dance. Onlv the younger men take an active part in this, the older ones sitting in a circle about them and enjoying ' the fun. The women are not admitted. The dancers are dressed?so far as they are dressed at all?iu tue most fantastic manner, and each one carries in his hand his pipe or tomahawk. They boh up and down, leap, run and skip, and cut up 1 all manner of queer antics. At times they break out into sharp discordant barkings, which are answered by veins and grunts from those who look on. The orchestra sits in one corner, and furnishes its share j of the noise.bv thumping incessantly on a big drum. This is the only instrument j used, but our artist is inclined to think that no others are necessary. During the dance the stewed tongue is served out from buckets, and it may be that sonicthing a little stronger also finds its way to the months of the merry-makers. The snort, beginning in the afternoon, lasts nil night. A Novel Jail. In the primitive days of Missouri, the. only buildings at Mt. Sterling, the county- , seat of Gasconade, were a log store and ' a log courthouse with one room. Pur-! ingcourt week, accommodations for man \ and beast were found at Aunt Beckie's, j in whose house of three rooms, a quar- ! ter of a mile from the courthouse, sixty ( or seventy persons would lodge anilj board, Her bill of fare included coffee sweet-1 ened with molasses, biscuits made from | coarse, dark flour, and baked until as j hard as billiard-balls, bacon, venison and ! wild turkev. Those whose teeth could J not crack the biscuits were supplied with " corn-dodgers." # The penalties imposed for crime were I light, except in the case of horse-stealing,! which, being the greatest of crimes, was i punished by forty lashes on the bare i back. On one occasion, a man was convicted I for some slight offence. The judge sen- j tertced him to pay a line of five dollars and imprisonment in the county jail for j two hours. The man at once paid the fine, but. | as there was no county jail, the sheriff i was at a loss how to execute the rest of the sentence. His invention, however, found out a method. Seeing an old crate, in which crockery had been brought | from St. Louis, lie placed it in front of i the courthouse. Then making the cul- j prit get under it, he summoned a posse j of four fat men to sit upon it, and in ; this style carried out the sentence. The "bystanders were much amused, and so quizzed the poor prisoner that, as soon as he was released, he tied from the county. Wrinkles. Wrinkles are as inevitable as old age. I ' They cannot be wiped ont. In man they are often honorable evidence of hard j mental labor; in women they are usually the evidence of coming a^e, although (rare and suffering have much to do with them. Sometime? fair foreheads sire prematurely wrinkled fj;oni a nervous habit of raising the eyebrows, and from . a too great and a too constant pressure of the pillow on one or both sides of the head while sleeping. And just here comes a fact worth remembering. If the fore0 . head has escaped wrinkles, crow's feet are prematurely seen about the eyes. We all see these crow's feet in men and women whose brows are smooth and young-looking. They are the results of sleeping on the right and left sides. The j pressure upon the temple and cheeks leaves wrinkles at the corners and under-j neath the eyes, which disappear in a few hours, but finally become* so fixed that . neither hours nor ablutions will abate them. If girl children were compelled to sleep on theft backs, and continued the habit when they reached woman.hood and afterward, they would arrive at middle life without crow's feet gath- j ering in the neighborhood of the eyes, I and in most cases their foreheads would j be free from even shallow furrows.

A correspondent of the London I.ancct, who owns a water-power mi 11, says: 441 am frequently compelled, during this season of the year, to have men working in water, even in frosty weather. I find the following allowance gives great satisfaction to the men, and we never have a case of cold or injury to them in any way: Kettle of coffee, made with half sweet milk, half water, three or four eggs, whipped, poured into it when off the boil; hot toasted bread with plenty of butter the finest quality. Serve up this e^?1 two and a half hours. The I expense is much loss than the usual amount of whisky, and the men work far better, ancl if cafe is taken to hav the milk (cream is hotter), bread and batter of the fment quality, the men are del limited with it. 1 am persuaded it would* be worth while to try this allowance instead of grog. Furnishing the men with grog gives the men the notion that it is good for them and perpetuates the belief in stimulants among workmen. Cutting Off the Quarrel. Of the late Louis A. (iodev, who wan a ready-witted man, Colonel Forney relates the following: On one occasion, at an evening entertainment at GodeyV house, two angry disputants were facing each other, almost ready to resort to blows, when Godey picked up a huge carving-knife ffom the simper table and handed it to the most violent of the two. The latter unconsciously received it, at.the same time demanding of (iodev, '* What do you mean by this, sir?'1 " I mean," said the jolly editor of the Lady's Booh?" I mean that you ahould cut off .the quarrel right here." The general expression of merriment made the controversy so ridiculous tnat it was stopped at once, the excited adversaries tnemse 1 ves joining in the laugh, as they shook hands and begged pardon of the host.?Harper's "'Drawer.''''

In place of legs he has six inches of muscular thigh stumps, on-'; being about an inch shorter tlian its el.ow; while his arms are dwarfed to perhaps four inches of the upper portion of these members, and are unfurnished with any termination apnroaclung to hands. Yet he is a beautiful caligraphist, a dashing huntsman, and artistic draughtsman, an unerring shot, an exfert yachtsman, and drives four-in-hand, n writing he holds the pen or pencil in his mouth and guides its course by the arm stumps, which are sufficiently long ts* meet across the chest. When hunting he sits in a kind of saddle basket, and his reins are managed with surprising expertness and ease. The Lancaster (Kv.) Visitor says: "Mr'.

KJ-L.XUX-i.-LX hj JLUJ.V XI 1 was stationed at Agra during the Cabul disaster in 1811, one of a mere Handful of British troops, left in charge of the wives, sisters and daughters of the actors in that unhappy expedition. And a weary, heart-breaking time it was. The lieutenant-governor, who had prayed and besought the Calcutta authorities not to risk the adventure, had the worst forebodings for its fate; and although he did all an able, kindly and well-mannered man could do to maintain the spirits of the circle, those who knew him could read too well what his fears were. Words 20uld not describe?indeed it is painlul for me even now to recall?the dreary wretchedness of that fatal month, during which no tidings c.^hie of the devoted army. Evening after evening saw the roads crowded by anxious women, sitting there for hours, that they might hear the first news of those who were dear to them, and evening after evening saw them return in despair. And then, at last, the news came that the sole survivor had staggered, half alive, back to his countrymen with the tidings of the great disaster, the wail that ascended from those heart-broken creatures I shall never, while I live, forget. ml ,._.l i ?_ ? a nun? 11:111 u^fii it uij^unii in ulic \jx mo native regiments, an old acquaintance of mine, of the name of Donnelly?Jerry Donnelly, as he was called by every one. He was careful to explain to all his friends that his name was Jerome, and not Jeremiah, although why he so unduly preferred the saint to the prophet. 1 never understood. Jeurv Donnelly, however, he was, and as strange and eccentric a creature as ever breathed. He was a very good-looking fellow and a first-rate officer, but a careless, rollicking, half-insane .mad ap of a man, with an amazing flow of spirits, little education or culture, a great?almost miraculous?talent for languages, with a soft heart and easy temper. It was impossible to make him angry; and in all circumstances, however unpleasant, he maintained a placid serenity, which seemed to imply that he was on intimate terms with fortune and knew the very worst that she could do. Among the other tricks which the fickle goddess had played him was that she had married him. Why lie ever married as he did no one could imagine. The lady was ieither handsome, clever nor rich. She was simply passable as to looks, with the livelirttess of good health and youth?a quality not inapt to develop itself in vivacity of temper when those other attributes disappear. " - ; 1 ? r r? ?1I.. lilll. Oil suine lllljJUiM', .icii^ lhjuih.uj li:icl asked her the momentous question, and been favorably answered. A most uncomfortable couple were they. .Jerry, from the very first, neglected her?not intentionally, I believe, but simply because for the moment lie forgot her existence. It never seemed to him necessary to alter his former bachelor round in any respect; and, as the lady had no notion of being neglectcd, she resented the indifference, and chalked out a line for herself. They never quarreled outwardly, but were hardly ever together. So stood the domestic circle, if such it could be called, of Captain Donnelly, when he was ordered on General Elphinstone's expedition. His wife would fain have remained at'.Calcutta, but, as all the wives were going to Algra, she for very shame was obliged to go there also. On "the first rumors of the disaster she was very indifferent?said she was sure Jerry would turn up at the most inconvenient time; and if he was happy, she was. When, however, the tidings were confirmed, and it was certain that Jerry had perished with his comrades, a great change came over her. She shut "herself up for months, saw no one and went nowhere. And when, at the end of a year, she began once more to look at the world, she was a grave, thoughtful, softened woman. Sh<5 went up to Calcutta after that, and I never saw her again until I came home on a furlough in 18-17. She was then living in a pretty place in Somersetshire, and was known as Mrs. Courtnay, of Branley Hall. I met her accidentally, but she was very glad to see me, and Explained to me wliat I had not heard, that when she arrived at Calcutta she found that poor .Jerry had, four months before ho a rrv.i cticcppilpd tn tliix nlape nf Rr:m. icy Haii by the death of a distant relative. He had previously made a will, leaving her all his worluly goods, then slender enough, so that in the end this tine estate had come to her, and a new name with it. She asked me come down and see her, which I did, and learned more of the history. Sorrow and prosperity greatly changed her for the better. Even her looks had improved, and she was a pleasant, thoughtful, agreeable woman. She had remained four years in Calcutta before she returned, aiid had at onee assumed the name of Courtnay, which was one of the conditions on which the bequest was made. "You know. Colonel Hastings, I could not have lost the estate, for what would poor Jerry have said when he came back?" I thought the woman's head must have been affected by her troubles, and said nothing. " I see you think me deranged, but I knew.he wasaliv?all the time." "Why,'what could have induced you to think so?" "I knew him. Colonel Hastings. It was in your bungalow at Calcutta, about, two years after I had gone back. Late in the evening I heard a footstep outside which stramrelv affected me. I was lying half asleep, and, starting up in a drowsy state, I heard a voice at the veranda, and, a* I thought, inquiring of my stupid old servant whether I lived there. The steps then turned away. I darted to the casement, and although the figure was clad in the most extraordinary compound of European and Asiatic garments, I am sure it was Jerry. I darted down stairs and rushed out, but he had disappeared. The servant said he was a bad fakir and wished to get in the bungalow, but he could or would tell me nothing of what he had said. But I am quite sure it was Jerry. So I am quite certain he will come back?but you remember lie neveij was punctual,'1 she added, with a faint smile. I did not say if Jerry was alive she must have heard of him some other way; but I took leave of her and shortly afterward returned to-India. In 18331 was appointed to an embassy to Nepaul, a very "striking country, gov* erned by a powerful, warlike race. J?hfirst minister or vizier of the country met us, as in the Xenaulcze fashion, outside of the capital, ana we had a very courteous and gratifying reception. He was a tall, handsome man, with a flowing, black beard, and conversed with me in Perc-ion nrliich T cmnlro fliifinHv. After mir interview, one of the attendants informed me the vizer wished to see me alone, and he accordingly conducted me to an inner apartment. He ordered the attendant to withdraw, and then, in tones only too familiar, he exclaimed: "Well,Hastings,my boy, how go on the Plungers?" It was Jerry Donnelly, by all that was miraculous. I had observed him staring / earnestly at me during the interview, an something in his gestures seemed not ui familiar to me, but his flowing bean solemn air and Oriental dress so muc disguised him, that even when I hear the well-remembered voice coul scarcely realize his identity. '"But what on earth are you clom | here, Jerry?" said I, "why don't yo j go home to your wife like a Christian? j " My wife! well, that's the whole a i fair. You see, she's somebody else I wife, so I'm better out of the way; ; j would be a pity that poor Sophie shoul j commit bigamy." " I assure you that you are entirel I mistaken. Mrs. jjonneny is noiinarruj again." ; "Hasn't she, though," said h< "Don't I know better? Didn't I g I back to ray bungalow and find out thr 1 she had married that starched foo ; Courtnay, when she knew I never coul j endure him!" To his intense astonishment I told hit ; how the truth was and in turn he r( i lated to me his own adventures. II ! had been carried into Tartary, and ther j detained for three years, when lie w.i allowed to accompany a caravan or bod of pilgrims to Nepaul. Being by th:i time a proficient in the language, li was taken notice of at court, bu very strictly watched. He effected hi escape, however, disguised asa.fakii and made his way to Calcutta, bu j finding, as he thought, his wife mai ried again to a man in his old regi raent, he returned, was taken into favo and had risen to his present distinctioY " Well, I always was a blunderin fool, but I went home with a heart s ore to Sophie and avowing that I woul never vex her any more with my vag:i ries, that when I heard her called Mrs Courtnay I was turned to stone, an did not care a rap what became of m< * J- ? 1-5-1. T _ even to oe mane a vizier, which, i at sure you, Charlie, is no joke in its way. 44 Well, at all events you must com home now and enjoy your good foi i tune." " I am not sure about that," said h< i " Recollect, she has grown aceustome to be mistress, and I have grown ac customed to be a vizier. She won like to be contradicted, and it's a thin I never could bear, and what 1 nev( I allow on any account. Now, if I wer home, she would not be mistress, an as sure as fate she would contradit i me. Maybe it is better as it is." Next morning he sent for me agair i 441 have been thinking," he said, " < all the strange stories you told me. I ai ; all changed since Ave parted. I hardl know myseifto be the same man I use i to be, and am not sure I should tre: j Sophie well. But ask her to come 01 | here and then she can try. If she like me in this outlandish place, I will g home with her; if we quarrel here no or will be the wiser, and I can continue t be dead." " But," said I, " have you no incun branccs? Perhaps she might object t the details of vour establishment, i 44 Not a bit, pud Jerry, 441 have nor of your Eastern prejudices; let hereon: ' and she will iind nobody to disturb her. So she did come, ami after living i Nepaul for two years, brought Jerr back in triumph to Branley Hall; an such is the true version of a tale whic made some noise in the newspapers a fe1 years ago. The World's Fair in 1880. While New York has been debatin upon a project for a world's fair, to 1 held in this city in 1883, says the Worl Australia has prepared plans for an lntei national exhibition to be held in Me! bourne in 18S0.

The following paragraphs ve a better idea of the Zulu king and s people than most essays on the sub:t do: " Cetywayo had never seen a revolver 3tol. Mr. Finney, having shown mhi c, lired it at a calabash. The chief is much surprised at the power of so jail a weapon. ' How destructive it ill be,'he said,when it has grown i and become a mother,' which must understood as meaning a cannon. "In Zululand it is considered a great ivilege to be made a soldier. All the ns of Cetywayo are made soldiers at e a?0 of six years or thereabouts, and the children who - are born in the j nc year are also made soldiers at the ne time as the dignity is conferred on the prince, of whom they are eonnnoraries. ; 'Wives are very valuable property^ Zululand, partly, of course, for the* uson that the greatest reward of a Idier i# to receive a present of a wife. ; 'The lot of a native wife is often a | >st unhappy one.

The assassin was respectibly dressed, and wore a military cap vith a cockade. He fired at the emperor within two paces. After the first shot ;he emperor approached his assassin, wjio ired again and then ran. An officer of ;he gendarmerie, with drawn sword, pursued the man. Three more men then oined in the pursuit. The assassin fired at them, shattering ;he jaw of a detective. Finally a gentlenan knocked the man down ana held lim until he was secured by the officers. Lt is supposed that he took poison before lis attempt, as he vomited immediately ifter his 'arrest. It is said that poison ivns found uner his finger nails. Antilotes were administered. The Emperor's issailant gave the name of Skolof. He is i retired functionary of jthe Ministry of Finance, and is about thirty years old. The great throng of people which had issembled enthusiastically cheered and congratulated the Empetor, who thanked ;liem for their proofs of fidelity on such a painful occasion. He said he knew he liad the support of all respectable people. He hoped that God would grant that he might complete his task, which consisted in promoting the welfare of Russia. The Emperor, after the foregoing speech, drove to the palace without ese#rt. He did not suffer the least ill effect from the attempt upon his life Afterward he drove, still without escort, to the Casan Cathedral, to return thanks for the preservation of his life. When receiving the congratulations of the officials of the empire, at noon, the Czar was so much overcome by his enthusiastic reception as to be unable to speak for some minutes. On recovering from his emotion he said: "This is the third time God has saved me."

Telegrams of conSratulation were also received by the zar from all the European sovereigns and the Sultan of Turkey. This attempt to kill the Czar is the third to which he has been exposed since 1855, when he succeeded to the throne. The first occurred April 16,1866, when he was fired at on entering his carriage at St. Petersburg. 'On this occasion the pistol was turned by a workman, who was generously rewarded for the act. The secon# attempt was madttat Paris, June 6,1867, by Berezowski, a role, who fired into the carriage in which the Czar was seated with his two sons and the Emperor Napoleon. The imperial party escaped unhurt, but the horse of one of the escort was wounded. The assassin was about to fire another shot when the Eistol barrel burst, destroying the use of is right hand. Words of Wisdom. To be able to teach others one must first earn for himself. Hurry is the mark of a weak mind dispatch of a strong one. Ridicule is the weapon of weak minds invective of shalkriv ones. Conceived in a passion, great ideas themselves fructify in a calm. Absence destroys trifling intimacies, but it invigorates strong ones. In a controversy, the less a man has to say the hotter he grows ip saying it. Truth which uncovers a cherished vice is more hated than the vice itself. The life which has borne no love is a garden which had brought forth no.flowers. The very best and kindest way i which to look at ^ie faults of your friend3 is to shut your eyes. "As Siam."?General Grant quietly asked the King of Siam if he would resign and accept a position in his next cabinet. The king rolled his eyes round toward the general in an incredulous manner, and, changing his "Jackson's Best" to the other side of his mouth, said, "I guess I am well enough as Siam."? Lewiston Gazette. . Wrenched and Racked By the pangs of rheumatism, the joints eventually become grevioualy distorted, and sometimes assume an almost grotesque deformity. To prevent such result* by a nimplo and agreeable means is certainly the part of wisdom. A tendency to rheumatic ailments may be successfully combatted with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a medicine with the prestige of a loug and succ<*sful career, of unbounded popularity, and of emphatic professional indorsement. It removes from the blood those inflammatory impurities which pathologists assign as tlio cause of rheumatism, and not only purifies the life current, but enriches it, promoting Vigor by fertilizing its source. Digestion, the action of the bowels and the secretion of the bile, are aided by it, and it impels the kidneys and bladder to a regular and active performance ol their functions. It is besides a thoroughly reliable remedy for, and means of preventing, periodic fevers. It is astonishing with what' rapidity ulcerous sores and eruptive maladies are cured by Honry's Carbolic Salve, an external antidote to unhealthy conditions ol the skin, which is preferred by physicians to every #her preparation containing the carbolio element. It is unuuuuiuuiy mc nuai luuiacj'i'iu uuu pmutui extant. It acta like a chanu on purulent eruptions, and has also been successfully used for rheumatism and sore throat. All druggists sell it.
