1MPER1sHABILIrr OF GREAT ExAMptEs.-
The following eloquent passage occurs in
Everett's great Grafton:
To be cold and brcathless-to feel and
speak not-this is not the end of existance to
the men who have breathed their spirit into
the institutions Of their country, who have
stamped their characters on the pillars of the
age, who have poured their hearts blood
into the channels of the public prosperity.
Tell me, who tread the sods on you sacred
height, is Warren dead? Can you not still
see him, pale and PROSTATE, the blood of
his gallant heart pouring out Of his ghastly
wound, but moving respondent over the
field of honor, with the rose of heaven Upon
his cheek and the fire of liberty in his eye9
Tell me, ye who make your pious pilgrim
age to the shades of Vernon, is Washington
indeed, shut up in that cold and narrow
house That which made these men, and
men like these, cannot die. The hand that
traced tho Charter Of Independence is, in
deed, motionless; the eloquent lips that sus-
tained it are hushed but the lofty spirits
that conceived, resolved and maintained it,
and which alone, to such men, "make it life
to live," these cannot expire.
sThese shall resist the empire of decay.
When time is DER and worlds have passed away
Cold in the dust the perished heart may lie.
But that which warmed it once can never die"

INDIAN SupERsrIr1oN.-The St. Joseph
Missouri, correspondent Of the St. Louis Ee-
publican relates the following
A day or two since large band of the
Mdsquawka or Red Fox Indians passed
through our town on their way to the
northern part Of Missouri and the borders of
Iowa, on their fall hunt. 1t appears rather
strange that they should come from their
home in Kansas to seek game in Missouri :;
but the truth is there are many more deer
in the bottoms of the Grand river country,
than can be found in the prairies of Kansas
or Nebraska, and the Indians come over
every fall to hunt them.
When these Indians reached the opposite
bank of the river, before crossing, they col
lected themselves, their horses and dogs, al
together, and chanted wild air. They
then seized three of their largest dogs and
knocked them on the head with war clubs,
and drew their bodies to the edge of the water
and cut their throats, and let the blood flow
into and mingle with the current; then
opening buckskin bag, curiously wrought
with porcupine quills, and unique in appear
ance, each one took from it pinch of some
fine Notwithstanding with the eldest and
ending with the youngest male of the years
of discretion, and sprinkled it in the river
while they all muttered some uninteligibIe
sort of invocation. l asked what it meant,
and was told by mountain man, that it was
to propitiate the spirit Of the stream, that
they might cross over and return in safety

PEpPER.-Pepper is an almost universal
condiment. Black pepper irritates aud in
flames the coatings Of, the stomach; red
pepper does mott excites, but does not
irritate; consequently it should be used in
stead of black pepper. 1t was known to the
Romans, and has been in use in the East
Indies from time immemorial, as it corrects
that flatulence which attends the large use
of vegetable food Persons in health do not
need any pepper in their food; but to those
OF weak and languid stomachs, it is manifold
inore healthful 20 use cayenne pepper at
meals than any form of wine, brandy or
beer, that can be named, because it stimu-
lates without the reaction of sleepiress or
debility.

STEAM CuLrIvArIoN IN ESeLAND.-An
experiment has recently been made in Lin
colnshire, Eng, in steam plowing, with Boy
del's traction engine, which appears, from
the published reports, to have given satisfac-
ton. Several varieties of plows were tried,
the peculiar construction of which we cannot
get at from the vague descriptions given of
them; but it was proved that the traction
engine, with three double plows, plowed ono
acre in seventy three minutes, or about eight
acres in one day Of ten hours, at cost, in
labor and Goals, of about $3.50, while the
work performed by six single plows, with
eighteen horses, in the sans time, would be-
only four acres and hall, and this at a
cost Of about sl2 5o-being three acres aud
a half in quantity, and a little less than S.
in favor of the steam work The prime cost
of the engine with the plows complete, is
estimated to be about the same as eighteen
horses, while upon the point of wear and
tear, the former would be the most economi-
cal.

A Threc.Minute Horse.

A certain Dr.. Blank had horse so thor
oughly used up as to be worthless-the only
good "points" remaining being where The
bones distended the skin. So he prepared
to dispense of him in this wise.' He went in
to the stable with lath and gave the animal
a regular rib-washing three times day, un
til, finally, whenever the excited horse heard
his step, or saw his face, he would begin tc
kick and plunge like one possessed. Arrived
at this point, the doctor borrowes the deco.
rated blanket of once well-known nag
called "White Feather" and enveloping the
remains Of his horse in it, sent him to auc-
ton to be sold, with directions to the auc-
tioneer to "let him slide" if he could get a
bid of forty dollars. In the meantime the
brute was advertised as "a celebrated horse
kind in harness-had made his mile inside
Of three minutes-was handy at the plow-
and sold only because the owner had no fur
ther use for him."
On the day Of sale, crowd gathered
amoug which was the Doctor whom the
horse no sooner saw, than he began to man
ifest signs of uneasiness, which the auction
eer called life and spirit The first bid was
seven five dollars, and soon ran up to one
hundred-one hundred and twenty -fve-one
hundred and fifty-at which price the nag
was pronounced sold. The buyer "a down
EASTER paid the money, and harnessed the
spirited animal to his wagon, informing the
crowd that he was going to Cape Cod, where
he himself belonged.
He had not been absent more than an
hour, when he was seen vending his way
back, not having got quite so far as Cape
Cod! He told the auctioneer that he had
returned to make some nquirers, which per-
haps it would have been as we'll to have made
before he bought the horse
"You say this animal has made his mile

"Yes."
