The Way it was Done.

In the year l772, a man in England
astonished the natives, by having loaded
cannon fred at him distance of ten yards
only, and catching the ball--a nipe poun-
der--in his hand. On the payment of a
considerable sum he divulged the secret,
which was this: When the proper charge
was ready, a little of twas put in the can
non, then the ball run in, and the rest of
the powder put in after it. The waddiDg
was then rammed tightly in; when fired.
the report was as loud as usual, but owing
to their being small quantity of powder
behind the ball, it would carry about twen-
ty yards Cannon loaded in this way and
fred against thin pine boards, distance
of twelve or fifteen yards, makes no i'm

er anything but favorable impression of

gentlemen, a dog with long tail in North
Carolina would be as great a show
as niger with three heads" "Why
SOP asked several. They cut 'em off to
prevent them knocking off the huckleber-
ries when they are chasing foxes and rab-
bits that run through the woods 'Pshaw!'

CAN INDIAN BABIES SWIM.

Those same old hunters had some curl
Gus ways about them, especially in their
intercourse with the red skins. For in
stance, q party being one evening engaged
in discussing the question whether Indian
babies possessed the faculty Of swimming
by intuition, were considerably enlightened
on the subject by the following bit of per-
sonal experience as detailed by an old
frontier man;
II kin answer that question fur ye,"
broke in Ellis, as he chanCed to hear the
question propounded in a general way to
promiscuous company; Il kin answer
ihat question for ye. They cam. swim
rot lick. AM tell he how cum ter
know. 1t was over thar in Georgy en-
durin' of the Kirk war Well, wun day
we had skrimmage with the Injuns at
one of thar little villages. 1t weren't
long, l kin tell you. afore we wbipt 'em
out, and then we raised shout that made
every Injun quake within hearin.' Bout
time we was gwyne on at the biggest rate,
Cap'in Gums to me, ses he, Ellis, Wilson'S
gone 'What!' ses I. Wilson'S gone,
ses the Cap'in again. Cant be found no
WHARF says I, with fallin' in my voice,
kase loved Wilson, and so did the Capin
and so did all the nen, Cant be found hi
nur 10, says the Cap'in.
Il didn't like the idee of the drafted
Iniuns dancin' round poor Wilson's scalp,
neither did the Cap'in; an SO we consults
bout it, and we sez we'll go and see if
he can't be found. Well off we starts,
an we hunted and we hunted, until we
began to think it wer' no use. Poor
Wilson, sez the Cap'iu, he's q goner,
reckon, an bctter-hearted fellow than
him never died a disgrace ul death at the
hans of infurnel savage Stop sez K
'ain't that him away down yonder?' The
Cap'in looked the way l p'inted, an he
sees sum one standin' on the bank of q
kirk, bizzy a doiu' sumthin,' we couldn't
tell what. Well, we goes down and when
we Gums in bout a hundred yards, We see
him Ctwas Wilson, sure nuf0 take all In,
jun baby by the heels, and after rappin' i!
two or three times over stump, fling il
in the kirk; and then we see him fold his
arms and look on, sorter melancholy like
until the little red un went plum outer
sight.
'"Wilson,' scz the Capin, cumin up
'whatin the deuce are you doin'?' Wilson
sorter started like, at first but seein' il
were the Cap'in he smiled in the most
pleasant way. an sez he, We'll, Cap'ir
i've alters heern that Injun babies coulc
swim, an so l thought I'd try it, 'An
kin they swim?' scz the Cap'in. No, sir,

CANADA AND FRASER R1vER.-The
Toronto Globe says, in reference to the
gold discoveries at Fraser River:
"These gold discoveries present flu
ture to Canada of the most dazzling kind.
The settlement of the Pacific coast by the
British people will inevitably lead to
demand for communication across the con-
tinent, which can be supplied through our
territory much better than by that of the
United States. We look to see the fer
tile field of the Saskatchewan traversed
by the iron horse within few years. and

BEST TINE TO ADVERTISE is the
experience of the oldest and best inform
ed merchants, with whom we have con-
versed, that the Fall trade should be ad-
vertised throughout the entire Summer,
as well as in the Fall, and the Spring
trade throughout the Winter, as we'll as
during the Spriug. There is much phi
losophy in this, as well as practical good
sense. Outside business, especially, to
succeed well, should invariably be adver-
tised months in advance of the time of the
sale, in, order that dealers may be early
and extensively apprised where to apply,
for such articles as they may wish to pur-
chase-U. IS. Journal.

GERMAN AND DUTCH.

By many these are confounded, not
only as to language, but as to nationality
There is wide distinction between them.
The German is the language Of Austria
proper, Styria, the Tyro, parts Of Bohe-
mia and Moravia, portion Of Transyl-
vania, and of some other parts OF the
Austrian Empire. 1t is the language of
the greater part of Prussia, and of all
the smaller states Of Germany-such as
Bavaria, Hanover, Saxony, Wirtemburg,
ETC., excepting only East F-eseland. II
is spoken also in parts of Switzerland.
There are, however, various dialects, and
the Swiss differs much from the Saxon.
The only nation which speaks the Ian
guage is the German; but Germany is
divided into several states, and distributed
among several sovereignties.
The Dutch is peculiarly the language OF
Holland, and is not spoken much else
where. AS there are but few emigrants
from Holland, we do not often see a genu-
inc Dutchman, though we commonly mis-
name the German, Dutch.

that thirty-two stars is now the proper

for one or two more, as it doubtless will
soon be needed. 1t is curious to observe
