From the Leisure Hour.
Great Men in Southern History.

The following is from the Boston Post,
and we are glad that there is even one pa
per published in abolition New England,
with candor and magnanimity enough to
tell the plain truth in matter directly re-
ferring to the South. 1t is hopeful sign,
but it is not an example that is likely to be
initiated by many Of the Posts contempo-
raries. We should suppose as truthful a
statement as the extract contains, would
cause the Editors to be ostracised, or would
result in their being pitched head foremost
into the sea from the toe Of Cape Cod.-
There is an error or two in the article
which we will here take occasion to cor
rect. The Post places Gen. Harrison's
name among the Northern men. 1t is
true at the time he was elected President
he was residing in Ohio, but he was ma.
tive of Virginia, SO prolific of Presidents
she having contributed no less than 81,
names to the list. The Post number
Hamilton among the Northern men. HI
was citizen of the North, but he was no
a native. He was born in St. Kits, on,
of the West India Islands, in the year 1887
So take away the name of this jurist am
statesman and of President Harrison, from
the records of the North, and the vast pre-
eminence of the South. in mind and states
manship, will be the more strikingly exhi
bited. But to the extract:
"If we look at the character of those dis
Itinguished persons of the nation who ma
be deemed historical, there are names ths
certainly will live as long in history an
in marble in the South as in the North
Yea, there is one Southern name wit
which there is none to compare, either
the North or in the world. We can spea
of the ''incomparable WAsHINeToN," tia

OF the fifteen Presidents of the Unite
States, eight of them were Southern me
And where is the Northern man that w
not agree with US, that the names of Was

Another cure for Consumntion.

The French physicians are at present
much interested in a new treatment for
consumption, introduced by DIR. John F.
Churchill, an American physician in Paris.
DIR. Churchill's theory of consumption is
that it is owing to an undue waste and an
insufficient supply of phosphorus in the
system.
To supply this want he administers hy-
pophosphates of lime and soda, in doses
from five to twenty grains daily in small
quantity of sweetened water. In paper
read by him before the Academy of Medi-
cine at Paris, he gave an account of for
ty-one cases treated in this way with sue
cess. He insists that the cure of consump-
ton in the second and third stages lat
period consequently when there can be no
uncertainty as to the nature of the disease)
can be obtained in all cases by this treat
ment, except when the existing lesion of
the lungs is of itself sufficient to produce
death. He also says that these substances
have not only a curative effect, but will if
used wherever there exists a suspicion of
the disease, prevent its development, and
thus act as preservation with regard to
consumption, just as vaccination does with
regard to smallpox.

An Indian Lover.

Miss Bishop, the writer Of the Floral
Home" who wentto Minnesota, as teach
er, received au offer of marriage from an
Indian. He came to her dwelling decked
in his finery-s scarlet flannel, rings, feath-
ers, newly-scoured brass ornaments and
bears claws, and through an interpreter,
announced to her thatshe must be his wife.
1t was urged that he had one wife. He
replied "All the band have as many as
they can keep, and I have bat one." As
an extra inducemcnt, he promised that she
should have the best corner of the lodge,
hunt by his side, and eat with him, while
the dark squaw was to hush the papoose,
cook the food, carry the game, plant and
hoe corn, and provide wood and water
Miss Bishop, little in fear of the green
eyed monster" even if the claimant did
bold an inferior position, declined the dis
tinction. The Indian begged dollar to
buy shirt, and left with naughty air.
Next day he was drunk. But Miss Bish-
ops associate almost Jared worse. She
had been only few weeks in the country
: and was ignorant of Indian customs. A
young warrior smitten with her, called of
! ten. Hoping to get rid of him, she gave
him a ring. He interpreted it as toker
of partiality and returned to take her t.
his lodge. The next day he returned wit
six braves to compel her to go with hin
xplanation and interference saved her.

NO. l..

put to sleep in an adjoining room, while
Miss NJ. was busying herself with herduties.
Some time afterwaYd, Miss NJ, hearing
noise up stairs and supposing the child had
awoke, proceeded to look after it, but found
1t sleeping quietly. With a thought a.
quick as electricity, she concluded that
some one had entered Miss WIS room from
the outside for the purpose of robbirr it.
Acting on this theory, she immediately
went down stairs, procured her fathers
double barrelled gun, and returning open
ed the door of the room of the late Miss
w, when her expectations were fully real
lied in beholding a stout man in the very
act of appropriating gold watch and
chain, which he had just taken from a trunk
of the late Miss w. She ordered him to
lay down the watch, and the fellow, MOTTO
ing her determined atidude and manner,
very readily complied. She next ordered
him to take the money from his pocket,
which he had extracted he denied having
taken any, when she gave more peremp-
tory order, accompanied with suitable
movements of a military nature, when he,
thinking discretion the better part of valor,
produced the money and deposited it with
the watch. She then gave him the pas
sage and orders to march, which be readily
obeyed.
On the return of her parents measures
were taken (which proved successfully and
the fellow, after being caught, was speedily
brought to trial, fully identified, convicted,
and sentenced to the State Prison, and the
Court caused to be presented TO the young
lady a testimonial in the form of beauti-
full pin, with a suitable inscription.
A short time after this, the same young
lady was alone at home as before, and her
parents not returning at dark, she took the
precaution to fasten the outer door. She
had not long done so when she heard a
knock, but before exposing herself to dan
ger, took the precaution to provide the
means of defence in the same two barreIled
gun she had used on the former occasion.
On carefully opening the door a strange
man presented himself and inquired, "Are
you Miss Ma" She replied, "Yes, what dc
you want 2" He inquired again, "Are you
the young lady who had man sent to the
State Prison 2" She replied, Il am :" theI
said he, Il am his friend, and have come
to put you out of the way" and, drawing
long dirk knife, was proceeding to enteI
the door, when she deliberately aimed tn,
gun at him, and told him if he advanced /:
step he would Immediately be dead man
She immediately noticed that he change,
countenance and began totremble where
| upon she, pursuing her advantage, Ordere'
him to about face, march, which he yer
readily obeyed, and as he was retreating
she gave him parting salute, by dischal
ging one barrel Of her trusty companion
which unfortunately only accelerated b
retrogade motion.

A Courageous Woman.

The following account of the courageous
conduct of young lady has been commu-
nicated to New Jersey paper A Mr.
NJ, whose health was found to be impaired
by the climate of the seaboard, was induced
to remove from the city of New York to
the interior of Illinois, his family consisting
of his wife and three children; the Oldest
a young lady of seventeen summers, and
the youngest some three years. Early that
spring, a maiden lady, a particular friend
of the family, and very much attached to
Mrs. N. and her children, removed from
New York and took mp her abode with
them. She had not been long in her new
home before she was suddenly taken away
by death. While Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. were
attending the funeral of Miss W., Miss NJ
was left in charge of the house and the
young child, and the room containing tht
effects of the late Miss W., which was sit
uated on the second story of the house, wa
'llocked by the young lady, and the chill

"Labor Sa0ing ContriUances," is the
latest phrase adopted as descriptive of lot
teries by some ardent admirer Of the insti-
tuition. No one ever doubted that they
were "tabOrSaving contricoRces." But to
whom do they save labor? MOTTO the poor,
misguided wretchcs who deprive themselves
of bread in order that they may fling their
last hard-earned dollars into the Golfers of
those who fatten, grow rich-aye, and save
labor by their swindling schemes. This
excessive desire to save labor too often leads
to crime, and unfortunately this is not the
only instance in which people are duped
to their ruin by high sounding names.

AUTHORS AND ARTISTS -IhaYe alWays

conversation of authors. An author, talk
