A Memorable l dfan Fight. A sharp Indian light, one of the moat closely-contested that ever took place in ''exas, wts fought on the 27th of I January, 18u1. Lieutenant Ed. Bur- e: loson, with a detachment of cavalry, a was on his way from San Antonio to S Camp Los Ojuelos. al : When near the Nuces river, he saw o three Comanche Indians on horseback. w Taking eight men, and ordering the w rest of the party to keep the roi.d and o move on, he pursued them. r < After running for twoor three miles h the Indians camne up with eleven of hl their band on foot, and prepared for w batttle. Burleson's mien, who were old Texan rangers, moved up within fifty or sixty U yards of the Comanche line, and open ed the fight.* By some mistake they dia- zn mounted. The Indians charged, and a il terrible band-to-hand tight ensued. I Shots were fired at the distance of a h loot or two. 'tie field was an open prairie, on 1b which there was not oven a bush for h cover. It was a trial of btrength, skill g and courage. The rangers fought be- d hind their horses, shooting under them or over the saddles. Ied men and white mnen, Colt's six- a shooting carbinem id bows and arrows, 1 revolvers and lances were mingled in P+ a general meiee. Thero was no shout- Dl ing, no maieiverliig, but each titan fought on his own 'hook,'' and for life. a Many of the incidents of personal w prowess would, if they had. occurred in I a battle between niedhuval knights, ' have been. celebrated in song and t chronicle. A Comanche singled out Joi Carr, a cool, brave ranger, and charged tipont ti him With bow itd lanlce. Jem, with P steady alnu, fired at and shot himn; then t fired again, with the same citect. Theti Indian still advanced, shooting arrow e after arrow. Tile arrews caie with k less and less -force, until the last one d hardly loft the bow, as the plucky, de- t determined warrior fell dead it few feet from his white foe. Jem received four severe wounds. "It was like clock-work,'' ho said ; b "every time,I raised my carbine they ii - stuck an arrow in me." le had his caiirine to his Iw-e, rt;ad y to lire, when an arrow, passing through tt the last joint, of his right forefinger zi pierced the breech of the gun. Luckily the wood splintered and released his haud. ti Baker Barton, one of those in- si demttlble spirits who are ga:ne unto i l the last, received three mortal wounds. W lie died on his' feet, holding to. the a horn of his saddle. hi One of the coolest of the rangers was e a man named Leach. ills self-posse. S1on was wonderful. Burleson, seeing an Indian aiming a pistol at Leheh, raised his revolver to shoot. "'I)on't shoot at him, L.ieutenant,' c called oit Leach ; "he's only blulllng, i I've been watching him; there Is no load in his pistol.'' Finally the Indiantis led, having eight c wounmded and leavig four (dead on the L field. Th'iey were so thlorouIghly wip- a9 pod that, contrary to thiri culstom, they did not tatke their dead with them. Tiwo or the rangers were killed and' several ti wore wounded.

RooM DECORATION.-Fashion in dress do not vary more gtulckly than fashion in room de;;orations, .ind every mont h1 shows some now device for the bedizen ing of our borlie. It 1s impossible fcr people to adopt every novel frditk In the matter of room ornament, and the best plan Is that they should choose the idas that are the most suitable to their taste and the most easily adapted to their materials and cirumnistances. We are learning that houses to be attractive should be Individual ; and we may rest assured that the fact that variety is charming is as true of this as it is of many other matters. If one Is paying a long round of calls and has the mem ory of six or seven drawing rooms, all pretty and ocstly, but all showig signs of having rather b5en furnished with regard to the taste of a inshionable up holsterer than to that of their mis tresses, what i relief it is to enter a room entirely different, where every thing, however simple, bears th,e look of having been approved and bhoien and arranged by one with a line eye for beauty of color and form and a de. licate instinct for harmony of line. This art of room arrangement is one which saves much money, for a woman who owns it does not need to discard unfashionable furniture or out-of-data ornaments. which would be a eyesore in inany rooms. .B3y her faculty of ar rangemuent she discerns just the place where the angular table will lit in and look well and appropriate and In what corner the objectlonable console will lighten the roomn by its gleai' of mirror and gilding. Among the many pretty notions which have been lately intro duced is that of "over doors.'' Te de vices introduced for this purpose are numorous-stag's antlers, convex eagle mirrors. makes of statues on oval vel yet shields, and even Clusters of d ap anese or peacock screens. The faney of a half moon shapud design In Vune tian mosaic,sunk in a deep band of diark velvet, may he new to many, and would have in many rich rooms a very ben utiful l'eet. '.L'he arrangemen11t of blue china, and shelves aid brackets of ebonized or enameled wood, always looks well and a plaster of frieze In basso relievo, as long as the door IS wide, will be effective ii many ro>ms the ground of the frieze might even be colored of a faint green or blue, so as to give it the appearance of a Wedg wood plaque. If you hang a' picture over a door, do not let i t be a small wa ter color sketch or anything of that kind, so that its beauty is entirely lost on anybody under eight feet high ; the pictures that look best over -doors are still life pices of flowers or fruit. I1INTs about ealeimining: Buy the best bleached glue, if the walls are to be white or some light tint (if dark it is immatet ial, so that the gi no I- lean), and use it in the proportion of a quaar ter of a pound to eight pounds of whit lug. Soak the glue over night; in the morning pour off the water, as it sn ply e wells while soaking. Add fresh water,.put in a paill, and set that In a kettle of boiling water. When dissolv ed, stir it into the wiiting, adding enough water to make it, after mixing, of the same consistency of common whitewasli. It may be tinted any color, ail is applied with a whitewash brush. If the color la rubbed smooth in a little water, and then mied with the wash it will be more evein. If the walls have been previously whitewa-h ed, scrape away all that will come off, and wesh with a solut.to. of whito vi( rAiol-tw:o ounces in a pail o1f water. The v'itriof will be decomposed, form ing zinc while and plaster or Paris, to which calciumine easily adheres.

BAII.Y on OAT.-In regard to gl whether it is better to sow oats or bar- B Icy, mnuch depends on climate and soil. -tin sections where oats do well, and barley usually fails, it would be uniwise to sow barley. But in those sections , where the climate is alike favorable for M barley or oats, and where it is a ques tion of s11 anti preparation, it may be an observed : 1st. That oats sometimes do th well on an old sod, but barley rarely, ab if ever, does so. 2d. Oats ripen later '1 than barley, and while It is very desira- w ble to 9oMoats as early as the iand1 can wi be -got into good condition, still you ru stand a better chance of a crop from he late sown oats than late sown barley. wC 3d. Oats will do far better on low, mucky land, than barley. If such land be wvell dIraitied and ia in good heart, ,e and Ii fine, mellow condition-as after ho a well 'cultivated corn, potuto or root ut< crop-at great crop of barley may some- in tines be grown, especially If the land ; has been tined, but the chanees are al together more favorable for a great crop n of oats. 4th. On low, mucky laud, that du is only partially dralned, and which dM3 cannot be worked early in the season, 'u: it would be folly to sow barley. If sown at all, I would drill in oats, if the h land was dry enough to adinit the use qu or the drill; or If not, sow the oats roe broadcas:, and If they coulti not be liar- wil rowed in, let them sprout on the sur- C00 hace, aci roll the land when It is firm "'" enough to hold up the horses. It would he better, however, to summer fallow such land, working it thoroughly, and gie make it clean and mellow, and then eel setid it down heavily with timothy (and ful perhaps red top) next A-igust. Atany * rate, do not sow barley. 5th. Oats will a do better on heavy clay land tla i bar Iey. This Is the rule. The exceptions are ra re. The heaviest crop of barley I ever saw was on a field of heavy clay B iaud that was summer 'allowed the year th previous for wheat by three plowings, . and idn not sown to wheat ii the full, but plowed again In the spring early and sown it) barley. Everythiug was lavorable, and the crop was immense. 6th. On weedy land it is better to sow oats than barley. Drill in the oats deep F and use plenty of seed. Roll thie land either at the timie of sowing or after the 4 oats are up. Then when the weeds are sprouted, and are in the seed leaf, go an over the fIeld once or twice, or three 1 times. if necessary. with a light, fiue- br( toothed harrow', for the purpose of Iri killing the young weed plants. Oats re can be harrowed with less injury to the , plants than barlev. And if tile soll and tee weather are favorable, an'l the opera- be tiot perfornind at the right Inoment, yei !hout ands of weeds will be destroyed, and the stirring of the ground will be I favorable to the growth of the oats. btr ve FLAX CurTUui.-A neglected iudui- rel t.ry in the Umited States is that of flax tna gruwinl and the man ufacture of lini en, l.orty . eau s ago, iearly every farmer im i the country knew how to raiseand pro- wi pare llax for domestic use, and many cur of our fathers and mothers were to i'u sone extent engaged in this mnanufac- itn ture. Now, however, besides a few at small milla in New York and New Jor soy, the business is given over to for eign nlanufacturers. Of the raw flax used :y t.he crash and threal mills, 4,0.0 touns are imported, and 1000 tons ard hoinie grown, chIletly in the north- I .eastern portion of the State of New York. A considerable portion of the Mi linported is Russian, a part, that of the lItl best, is Beiglan, a part Canadian, andi e some Irsh1. What is requirod at t his reI time is, that our farmers attendl to (lie Vai requtiremnenits of fert.ilizers and thre re lation of crops nrecessary to grow the u2 fl'er to periection, and then sowv the oi tproper amonunt of seed, two or three bmmsibels per aecre, pull It belore over rip)e, steep) it, and spread It lust long enough toseparte the fibre nompletely, antd the present demand for flax mmay be " eailiy s1upphlied at home. This is' the fiIrst stel), and if it can not be securedI without the assistancee of a 11 tx associa tion, such should be organized.
