uowe's Improved Weighing Scales

These scales have been growing into
eulic favor very rapidly of late, and their
Manufacture and sale so extensive, that it

N scales, and on both occasions, the first
nremiums were awarded to the Messrs.
Howe. after the severest test had been APP
plied to all the competing Scales, ard this

Manufactured, as our readers are doubtless
Yell aware, at Brandon, by John Howe,

1rst patent was secured in 1856, and they
Ne now sold all over the world, and by

The children are roaming about examining
every thicket aud hole, bathing shooting ar
rows, and making all those interesting noises
incidental to promising juvenility.
The Camanches formerly owned large droves
of horses They have thinned them greatly
within the last few years, by being compelled
to kill them for food. Being shut out from
the mustang range, between the Nueces and
Rio Grande, was the cause. Horse meat with
them is preferred to any other. The neck, i'm
mediately beneath the name, is considered rare
delicacy. The meat has coarse fibre, is glu-
tinous, smells badly, has a peculiar sweetiSh
taste, which remains in the mouth for nearly q
day. We never liked it even when starving
for want of food. The liver is little better
Never commit the indiScretion of applying q
piece to your nose. A sudden rebellion of the
stomach often follows such an imprudence.-
Mule meat resembles beef in flavor. A fat
mule makes very palatabe eating. Young
fawns are fine. Terrapns, rattle-snakeS prai-
rie-dogs and pole cats are very good
The Mescalero Indians take their name from
the mescal plant. 1t belongs to the order Of
plants usually called "bear grass" has white
head like a cabbage, is cooked by digging q
hole in the ground, building fire in it, re-
moving the Goals and ashes, and lining the bot
tom aud sides with prickly pear leaves, depri-
we'd of thorns by burning, putting in the mes
cal, covering with cactus and building fire
upon the same, which must be kept up for
twelve or fourteen hours The edible part is
soft and tastes like an Irish potatoe. 1t is
covered with thin fbrous substance When
on an expedition between PecoS and the Rio
Grande, the CamancheS use this and the spe-
cieS of the magney. The latter is cooked by
simply roasting. 1t has an unpleasant taste
These plants will grow upon sterile, islands. A
Camanche will eat liver, young fawn, and
many other things while raw. In Shanaco'S
camp, we saw an old rascal who offered to bet
he could eat anything. For plug of tobacco
he proposed making q breakfast upon sub.
stance baniShed the farthest distance from our
tables He was the nastieSt thing in human
shape we ever saw.
Camanches, live, as our phrase is "from hand
to mouth" They have little providence. When
provisions are plenty, they consume enormous
quantities They do not bear the pangS of hun
ger with the Stocal resignation one would sup
pose Iu this particular, as in almost every
other, the Delawares are infinitely superior to
them
The Camanches have q religion they prac-
tice incantatons, and believe in removing dis
ease by charms and incantations.
The Camanche enjoys modicum of real
pleasure. His rowing, devil-may care kind of
life has attractions even to the white man.

DR.. FRANKLIN's SoN.-Speaking of the son
of Dr. Franklin, the Newburyport Herald
says =
AS the name of DR. Franklin is prominently
before the public, it may not be unnteresting
to give some account of his son, William about
whom we think little is known by the commu,
nifty at large Unlike his father whose chief
claim is for the invaluable services he rendered
to his country in her greatest need, the son
was from the first to the last devoted loyGl-
ist Before the Revolutionary war he held
several civil and military offices of import
ance.
At the commencement of the war. he held
the Office of Governor of New Jersey, which
appointment be received in 1878 When the
difficulties between the colonies and the mo-
ther country were coming to crisis he threw
his whole influence in favor of loyalty, and en-
devored to prevent the Legislative Assembly
of New Jersey from sustaining the proceedings
of the General Congress of Philadelphia
These efforts did but little to stay the tide OF
popular sentiment in favor of resistance to
tyranny, and Soou involved him in difficulty -
He was deposed from Office by the wings, to
give place to WIN. Livingston, and sent pris.
oner to Connecticut, where he remained two
years in East Windsor, in the house of Capt
Ebenezer Grant, near where the theological
Seminary now stands In 1888, he was ex.
changed and soon sitter went to Engiand.-
There he spent the remainder Of his life, re.
ceiving pension from the British Govern.
ment for his fidelity. He died in 1913 at the
age of eighty-two. As might have been ex.
pected, his opposition to the cause of liberty
so dear to the heart of his father produced an
estrangement between them. For many year,
they had no intercourse, when in 1884, the son
wrote to his father. In his reply DR.. Frank
lin says -
Nothing has ever hurt me so much, and
affected me with such deep sensations, as tc
find myself deserted in my old age, by my only
son and not only deserted, but to find him
taking up arms against me in a cause wherein
my good fame, fortune and life were all al
stake" In his WILL also, he aludeS to the
part his son had acted After making some
bequests he adds The part he acted against
me in the late war, which is of public notori
ETY., will account for my leaving him no moro
of an estate he has sought to deprive me of
The patriotism of the father stands forth all
the brighter when contrasted with the deser
tion of his son.

The STRONG Drink OF THE ANcIENrs- Anti
quarians assert that the strong drink of the
Hebrews was fermanted liquor, not a dis
tillation for the art of distillng was not
known before the Christian Era. 1t was the
same liquor which was used in Egypt before
the Exodus, the art of making which the He
brews learned from the Egyptians, who, accor-
ding to DiodoneS, of Sicily ascribed it to Osiris,
who was the Bacchus Of that ancient people.
1t bore the name Of " PeluSinm," as it was frs.
manufactured at Pelusium, near the mouth OF
the river Nile 1t was the wine (barley wine)
which Joseph gave to his brethren on their
second visit TO that country to buy corn, and
on which they became merry with him. Az
grapes did not flourish in Egypt, they had no
wine Of that commodity there.

TINES GRATIrUDE AND REvENGE-Time is a
coed and faithful friend. but most revenge
full and remorseless enemy. Like deep feel
ing and love desiring human heart, it treasures
up grateful memory of kindness and good
service and is sure, sooner or later, to make
payment with the addition of compound inter
est But for every instance of neglect or abuse
it takes certain and terrible vengeance I; and
none who incur its anger can escape its punish
ment for, like death, time is inexorabe.
