An Indian Tells Dow Tlisse Desdl; Weap
ons are Given Their Venom.
(From'the Omaha Republican-)
I had often heard of poisoned arrows
and determined to ask the old Indian
arrow-maker abont them and how they
were made and impregnated with the
deadly poison which they were supposed
to contain. He looked at me for a full
minute aud then said:
“First we take a bloated yellow rattle
snake in August, when he is most pois
onous, and tie him with a forked stick to
a stake; then we tease him until he is in
a great rage. This is done by passing a
switch over his body from his head to
his tail. When he threshes the ground
with his body and his eyes grow bright
and sparkle Like diamonds we kill a deer,
antelope or some other small animal
and, U anng out the liver, throw it to
the snake while it is warm and the blood
still coursing through it. The reptile
will itrike it again and again ahd pretty
soon it Itogin to torn, black. When he
tires the make is teased again and he is
induced to sink his fangs into the soft
flesh until all the poison is. extracted
from him and the liver is reeking with
it. He is then killed and the liver lifted
with a sharp pole, lor au dangerous is it,
no one dare touch it The liver is let
lay for about an hour when it will be al
most jet black and emit a sour smell.
Arrows are then brought and their iron
heads pushed into the liver up to the
shaft They are left sticking there for
aboflt an hour and a half, when they are
uilhdrawn and dried in the sun. A thin
glistening yellow scum adheres to the
arrow and if it l*ut so much as touches
it is esrtsin to poison it to
} death
i asked if Indiana still used pomuned
ariown "No," he replied, "no man,
Indian or white man, for yean past has
bsm shut with tl ms arrows and they are
no longer made."

numbness conies over him and be does
not much care if his last moment comes

why I was not dead. As soon as I was

outrage to which I hail been subjected
and probably the fear caused by my
danger had entirely cured me ot the
fever. I felt strong and well, and, re
joining my conqiony, marched all the
way to Tupelo without a recurrence of
the fever.”

Senator Sherman is making a quiet
but forceful effort to secure a united

the conclusion that his last hope for the
Presidency hingoe upon his being nomi
nated in ’&8, and he has told his friends
of his oonclfision. Next to Mr. Blaine
he fears hLs increasing yeais more than
any ot-tho possible candidates. In his
canvass he has, or had, tho active sup
port of Murat Halstead and the Cincin
nati Commercial Gazette, tho leading
Republican organ of the State, but Hal
stead lias gone to Europe now, for pur
poses of i*olicy and pleasure, the feeling
between the two factions in his party be
ing clearly on the increase. Sherman
also bus the avowed snpporf of Foraker,
whom he does not trust, and the secret
aid of some of the Democratic traders.
In two county conventions, in which
reap!uLions favoring hia. candidacy were
introduced, the Blaine-Foraker men
tabled tho resolutions by large majorities.
Ho is giving his personal attention to
his can vims,'-his headquarters being at
Uis home in Mansfield. It is even said
that he will go to tho State convention
as a delegate to core for his interests in
that body. His age is G4.

for corn, flour ana bacon? We have
tried it long enough to convince any
sensible man that it was the ruin of our
farmens and has reduced some to abject
poverty. Hence, I am glad to see that
farming South is in a transit condition,
getting ready to discard the methods of
the last fifteen or twenty yean, and for
adopting new methods. Let the reaper
and the mower come fast and numerous
among us, for it is an evidence of better
times coming; it portends the making of
our own food supplies, and when that is
done, farm mortgages will cease and we
shall once more become free men, and
unencumbered, and visit our towns and
cities as independent men, with no sus
picions against us as debtors—merely
“hewers of wood, and drawers of water. ’

tho Interstate Convention of farmers to

ail matters pertaining to the interest and
welfare of the farmers and farming will
be fully discursed. Let each tell his ex

WOMEN PHYSICIANS. ‘ '
The study of medicine and its twin
science, pharmacy, by women is no new
thing. In the first medical school es
tablished during tho first Christian era
women taught side by side with men.
The school of Salemum contained in its
faculty no names more respectable for
scientific zeal and attainments than those
of tho three female professors—Trotulo,
Rebecca and Abello—who were ready to
grapple tho toughest subject in physi
ology and medicine. Tretola wrote a
very learned dissertation which aided
much to her fame, and which was so
great for profound scholarship that
when the celebrated disputant, Rudolph
ing to try conclusions in science with its
professors she alone was considered a
worthy antagonist. Abella was a poet
physician, and indited a treatise on
"Black Bile” in Latin vprse. The taste
of the learned Rebecca inclined in the
stune direction, and her works are found
in the old* libraries. The mothers in
medicine, however, left no suooesson
worthy of their fame, and their example
has not had many imitators in the cen
turies since they flourished. In later
years women have again tamed their
attention to the profession of medicine,
which, however, on account of its ardu
ous duties requires a remarkably robust
physique and strong nerves, and while
their tact and gentleness may be a help
to them, R is an open questeod whether
their superabundant sympathy ik not a
drawback. But in the capacity of drug

In the South, where the chief produc
tion is cotton, it is surprising that the
increase of production is due to white
labor. The largest increase in cotton is
in those districts, like Texas and Arkan
san, where the population is mainly
white. It is true that at least half of the
aottrm crop is raised by whitos«~ A sig
nificant fact in connection with the in
crease in.Boutheru production is the foot
that it is greatest iu those articles where
white labor is mainly engaged. In
sugar, mainly raised by blacks, the pro
ductiun is fab mg off. South Carolina’s
rice crop, worked by negroes, has de
creased; that of Louisiana, grown by
whites, is steadily increasing; and so it
is with truck farming, dairying and fruit
K iwing, which promise so much for the
nth; aud manufactures, monopolized
by the whites, save some of the rougher
industries. It is impoarible to obtain
absolute and definite statistios on this
matter, but everything points to the fact
that there has been but little change or
increase in the production of the negroes
in the South for many yean past, and
that Whatever improvement there ia, u
