The celebrated speech of Logan, given
by Mr. Jefferson. has often been QUOTED
for its pathos and the speeches of Red
Jacket, Farmers Brother, and Cornpls1-
ter, are still esteemed models in their
way Those, however, who suppose that
pathetic appeals have ceased with tho
lives of these orators. will perhaps think
differently upon reading the following
touching appeal addressed to Colonel Soils
by Camanche chief, at the recent coun-
Gil at Fort Smith
"Brother, my shirt, you see, is ell in
rags. When | return to my tribe and
say to them. Il have been among nv
friends they will not believe NC, If Il
return in this ragged shirt Ny wife and
daughter will ask, Where is the colico
your friends gave you?' Brother, what
shall say about this when 1 return to
my people"
The answer to this appeal is said to
have been as satisfactory as the most san
guiDe hopes of the chief could have ex-
pected

a Vision.

A lady who had been quite sick, sends to

which she had upon her sick bed, from which

"Oh, how interesting. How happy l
was on that sick-bed as lay halt asleep
and half awake, fancied myselfin Paradise
lying upon bed of roses, listening to heaV-
enly music. 1t was fine morning; the
birds were singing in the trees around my
humble dwelling. Iawoke saying,'l i hear the

my bedside. 'it is that sling gave you ="

a Farmer WithoutsArms.

W. NJ. Beauamp, of Onondaga county,
New York, sends to the american Ag-
ricutturist an interesting account of far
mer he for merly knew, who was born
without arms:
Instead of appealing to the charita-
BILE for support he commenced early to
help himself. His first property was
hen and chickens, next a pet lamb, and
afterwards shaggy colt. He took good
care of these, and increased his stock a
little at time until he became pros
porous farmer. Having no hands, he
he learned to his toes, which were
longer than common. His legs were ve-
ry flexible, and by practice he was ena-
bled to perform most operations with ease.
He put on and took off his own clothing,
shaved and fed himself, milked his own
cows, and took part in most labors of the
farm. He was terror to evil doers,
whom he could punish with severity He
was powerfully built, and possessed Of
great strength in the head and shoulders.
He would butt like ram, or seize an of
Tending urchin with his teeth and shake
him with bulldog tcnacity. He died at
the age of seventy, leaving a large fami-
ly-having been married three times.

How to Cure a Felon.

AS we often see friends suffering with
this very troublesome disease, we copy
the following from an exchange, which is
highly recommended as cure for 1t =
"As soon as the part begins to swell, get
the tipcture of lobea, aud wrap the part
affected with cloth saturated thoroughly
with this tincture, and the felon is dead.
An old physician says he has known It to
cure in scores Of eases, and it never fails
if applied in season."

In these times Of defalcations by bank
ers and bank-tellers, the following is to
the point:
In Chicago the general agent of we'll
known firm of Reaper manufacturers is
not noted for wearing clothes sbose his
business, which amounts to some hundreds
of thousands; and having draft Of a
thousand dollars to collect of one Of the
banks, he was desired by the we'll dress
ed and polite teller to bring some one
who was known to both parties to identi-
fy him. Said the general agent, DO 1
look like rogue ?"
"No," said the teller; "but your clothes
don't look as if you were in the habit OF
handling so much money"
"Well," said the agent, "they are paid
| for-are yours ?"

up in a Rebel Camp in Georgia:
