The Moo ui---A New Race of Men.

Professor Newberry, in his paper read
before the American Scientific Associa-
ton at Newport, r. l., gave vivid de-
scription of the geographical features of
the great plateaux sweeping east and
west from the Rocky mountains, illustra-
ted By colored drawings. His we'll
Drowned, fiercely- bearded face, gave evil
dence of the effect of the sun and winds
on the vast treeless plains that skirt the
Colorado. He incidently gave a most in
teresting description of that strange peo.
pie, the Moqui, whose cities we have seen
in New Mexico, and but small remnant
of whom now exist. They belong to q
hitherto unknown race. Professor New
berry thinks they may be the remains of
the Aztecs, who ruled that region on its
discovery by the Spaniards. From the
characteristics, however, of the melan.
choly remnant who now exist, it seems
more probable that they are to be refer
ed to the Toltees, who were displaced by
the Aztecs.
Mr.. Newberry described them as q
race apparently entirely distinct from any
other Indians on this Continent. They
are smaller, have distinct conformation
of skull and face, and are peaceful agri-
culturists. They weave cloth, work with
implements of stone, and build towns of
stone and mortar OF the mountsin table
lands, which rise 500 or 1000 feet above
the lowland plateaux. They build walls
around their towns, and their only means
of ingress or egress, is By ladders, which
they draw after them when they enter
town. There are seven Of these small
towns still inhabited by this fast fading
race. But their ruins extend over the
whole valley of the San Juan-appsrent-
ly ruins of race once numbering mil
lions of men-and many of them (the
towns) 500 or 1000 =, ars old.

Rough Beginning of the HONEYMOON.

Rough Beginning of the Honeymoon.
On last Friday morning an athletic
young farmer. in the town OF Waues-
burg, took fair girl "all basbed in
bushes" from her parents, and started
| for the irst town across the Pennsylya
MIA line to be married, where the cere
mony could be perforaed without a IL
cense. The happy pair were accompa-
MED by sister of the girl-a tall, gaunt,
sharp featured female o! some thirty-sev-
en- summers. The pair crossed the line,
were married, and returned to WeIlsyills
to pass the night. People at the hotel
where the Wedding party stopped OBJ
served that they conducted themselves in
rather singular manner. The husband
would take his sister in law, the tell fe-
male aforesaid, into one corner of the
parlor aDd talk earnestly tober, gesticu-
lating wildly the while. Then the tall
female would put her foot down" and
talk to him in an angry aud excited man
Dor. Then the husband would take bis
fair, young bride, into corner, but be
could no sooner commence talking to her,
than the gaunt sister would rush in be-
tween them and angrily join in the con-
versation. The people at the hotel as
certained what this meant By about nine
o'clock that evening There was an up
roar in the room which had been assign
ed to the newly welded couple. Female
shrieks and huge masculine "swears"
startled the people at the hotel, and they
rushed to the spot. The gaunt female
was pressing and kicking agoiust the door
of the room, and the newly married man,
mostly undressed, was barring her out
with all his might. Occasionally she
would kick the door far enough open to
disclose the stalWart husband in his
Greek Slave apparel.
1t appeared that the tall female insis-
ted upon occupying the same room with
the newly welded pair, that her sister
vas fsvorably disposed to the arrange
ment, and that the husbad had agreed to
it before the wedding took place, and
was now Indignantly repudiating the con-
tract.
won't you 60 away, now, Susan,
peacefuli" said the neWly-married man,
softening his voice.
"No,' said she, II WOD't-so there"
"Don't you bulge and inchl" cried the
married sister within the room.
"Now, DoW," said the young man to
his wife, in piteous tone, "doD't go to
cuttin' up in this way; now don'tp
"I'll cut ups nuch's l wanter!" she
sharply replied.
"Well" rOared ihe desperate man,
throwing the door vide open and stalk
ing out among the crowd, "well, just you

old man and woman, and your grand
father, who is nigh on to hundred;
bring 'em all here, and III marry the

The difficulty was finally adjusted By

Taking Cold.

A cold is not necessarily, says the
Scientific American the result of low or
high ten perature. A person may 60 d.
rectly from hot bath iBto a cold one
or into snow even, and not take cold
On the contrary, be may take cold by
pouring a couple of tablespoonful of wa
ter upon some part of his dress, or BY
standing in q door, or some other open
ing where one part of the body is colder
than another. Let it be kept in mind
upiformity Of temperature over the whole
body is the first thing to be looked after.
II is the unequal heat upon the different
parts of the body that produces cold, by
disturbing the uniform circulation OF some
part. If you must keep partially wet

feet are great source Of colds. on ac-
count of the variable temperature they

Parlor Skating----Beautiful amusement
for Children.

One among the latest inventions of the
day is the production of skates for
children, which can be used in the parlor
or the street. With pair of these skates
on her feet, young lady or child can
soon learn the art Of skating to degree
that will enable them successfully to ac-
complish on the ice, and with steel skates,
that which has heretofore been to them a
much coveted but almost despaired of en-
ioyment. All the benefits that are to be
delivered from that hateful exercise, are
now placed within the reach of even the
most delicate: and floor skating will
henceforth be included among home a.
musenents, to the delight Of childhood and
the qualification of age.
The floor skate is simply q frame oi
ornamented irom,. nearly the shape and
size of the common skate, with, instead
of steel runner, four rollers or wheels
of gutta pereha, measuring about three
inches in circum ference, each of which
revolves on separate axel; these rollers,
of course, rest on the floor, and turn With
the movements of the skater. The skate
is strapped to the foot in manner simi-
lar to the ice skate, with wider leather
bands, superior in every respect to the
common strap. The inhabitants of the
South, whose facilities for skating have
hitherto beenRery limited, may now RI
val in this exercise, amid orange groves
and balmy breeses, their Northern breth'
ern, surrounded by ice and snow and
chilling winds.
A wsxed floor is, perhaps, the best a
dapted for the sport; long hall covered
with oil cloth is, probably, the Dext; but
! if these are not accessible, carpetec
room of any kind will answer. Being
elastic, the rollers do not wear the carpet
as they would if formed OF wood or me
tai.
