An Indian Trophy.

We had the pleasure of q call yes
terday from Col. Summers of the It'll
Iowa, who is on his way to Ottumwa,
to enjoy brief Through. The Colonel
is direct from the Indian country, and
gave us much interesting information
concerning the late fight at Julesburg
where he commanded the white
troops. Col. s. was carrying home
with him as trophy, the shield of the
Camanche chief who commanded the
savages in the fight. This chief was
killed by shot from the Colonel's RI
fle, and this shot it is said, saved our
troops from humiliation, as the In
dians were steadily coming forward,
in overwhelming numbers, and the ef-
forts of our men to check their advance
were futile, until their chief fell, when
they were thrown into disorder, and
finally routed. The shield referred to
is large, round, barbarous looking az
fair, made of buffalo skin, and about
a. large as the head of a barrel, it il
ornamented with beads, feathers, teeth
of animals, curious devices, pieces of
different kinds Of skins, and about
twenty-five human soalps Of white wo-
men gae.Ee.trB- Eas 1na n
The number of Indians making the
attack on Julesburg, the Colonel in
forms us, was not less than fifteen
and their killed number six
ty. Our loss was fifteen men, This
officer also informs us that the force of
white troops between here and the
mountains is utterly inadequate tepro-
tect the road against the savages, and
without reinforcements the field must
be given up.-COuncl Bluffs Nonpa-
rel, Feb. 4th.

The Emcacy Of Ice.

A correspondent of the Providence
Journal vouches for the efficacy of ice
as a cure for diptheria, Group and all
ordinary inflammation of the throat
The manner of application is as fol
lows:
Break up a small lump Of ice in a
towel and put it in . bowl. Take a
position slightly inclined backwards,
either in a chair, or on sofa. Pro-
coed for half an hour with spoon to
feed yourself with small Jumps Of ice,
letting it dissolve slowly in the back
part of the mouth, or at the entrance
of the throat. A single such applica-
ton will often break up a common
sore throat which otherwise would
have course of two or three days.
In the case of a bad sore throat, use
ice frequently and freely. In case OF
liberation, or diptheria, keep a small
lot of ice constantly in the mouth.

Rules for Winter,

Never go to bed with cold or damp
In going into a colder air, keep the
mouth resolutely closed, that by com
polling the air to pass circuitously
through the nose and head, it may be-
come warmed before reaching the
lungs, and thus prevent those shocks
and sudden. chills which frequently
end in pleurisy, pneumonia, and other
serious forms Of disease.
7a Never sleep with the head in the
draft of an open door or window.
Let more cover be on the lower
limbs than on the body. Have an ex-
ira covering within easy reach in case
of a sudden and great change of wealth
er during the night
Never stand still moment out of
doors, especially at street-corners, af-
ter having walked even short dis
lance. ,,sa
Never ride near the open window of
ayvehicle for single half minute, es-
pecially if it has been preceded by a
walk valued lives have thus been
lost, or good health permanently des.

Never put on a new boot or shoe in
beginning a journey.
Never wear India rubber in cold, dry
weather.
If compelled to face bitter cold
wind, throw a silk handkerchief over
the face it's agency is wonderful in
1 modifying the cold. n r r.
'sa Those who are easily chilled on 60

! cotton batting attached to the vest or
other garment, SO. as to protect the
space between the shoulder blades be.
hind, the lungs being attached to the
body at that point q little there is
worth five times the amount over the
chest in front.
Never sit for more than FIVE minutes
at time with the back against the
fire or stove.
Avoid sitting against cushions in
the backs of pcws in churches; if the
uncovered board feels cold, sit erect
without touching it. v
4 Never begin a journey until break
fast has been eaten. ,s,,r-f. - -
After speaking, singing, or preach
ing in warm room in winter, do not
leave it for at least ten minutes, and
IS even then close the mouth, put on the
gloves, wrap up the neck, and put on
: cloak or overeoat before passing ont
of the door 1.-THE neglect of these has
laid many good and useful man in q
premature grave.
Never speak under hoarseness, es-
pecially if it requires an effort, or
gives hurting or a painful feeling,
for it often results in permanent loss
of voice, a lifelong invalidism.-HaT.

How to Cure a Cold

-. The moment a man is satisfied that
: he has taken cold, let him do three
things: =. = sE''ss
First, eat nothing /; second, go to
bed, cover up warm ina warm room
third, drink as much cold water as he
can, or as he wants, or as much hot
herb tea as he can and in three ca
ses out of four he will be almost well
in thirty-six hours.
> If he does nothing for his cold for
! forty-eight hours after the cough com
mences, there is nothing that he can
swallow that will, by any possibility,
arrest the cold, for, with snch start,
it will run its course Of about fort
night in spite Of all that can be done,
and what is swallowed in the mean.
time in the way of food, is hinder
ance and not a good. gast
a.e Feed a cold and starve fever il
a mischievous fallacy. Acold always
brings fever the cold never begin
ming to get well until the fever sub
sides but every mouthful swallowed
is that much to feed the fever and
but for the fact that as soon as cold
is fairly started, nature in a kind of
desperation, steps in and takes away
|. the appetite, the most common cold
would be followed by serious results,
and in frail people would be always
fatal. $500 .4.s 49, -.
ssssaT These things being so, the very fact
Of waiting forty-eight hours gives
time for the cold to fix itself in the
! system for cold does not usually
j. cause cough until day or two has
passed, and then waiting two days
longer gives it the fullest chance TODD
itswork before anything at all is done.
Intelligent druggistA know that all
medicines sold for coughs, colds, con-
sumption and ticking in the throat,
contain opium in some form or other.
They rcpress the cough but do not
eradicate it !; hence the first purchase
paves the way for q second or . third

California.

e7aH1#as h@t California gov ~
All the vegetation of California is
monstrous in growth. Strawberries
as bigNas hens eggs, some Of which
sold at Sanitary Fair for dollar
apiece. Indeed, eggs have sometimes
sold in market at seven to ten dollars
per Dozen. We have no conception Of
the extravaganza of the people. They
never think of the price Of anything SO
long as they have the money. They
live on their capital instead of income,
and begin anew every year. A lazy
stage-driver will toss the stable-boy
who waters his horse silver half dol
lar, as if it were but two cents Judg-
ing from their generosity, we think
this people must be Immensely rich,
but they are poor-keep themselves SO
by their extravaganza no population
in the world, living at the same rate,
has SO little wealth. But the great
crops-green vegetables are to be had
through the whole year, and in size
they beat nature. A respectable Pres
byterian clergyman told me that he
planted apeach-pit, and in fourteen
months it had grown to tree ten feet
high, and he ate peaches grown upon
it. Now, you don't believe this; but
is true, nevertheless. One man cut a
stick which he carried as cane for a
week, and then sticking it into the
ground as a support for a weak sap
ling, it sprouted, and in two years he
gathered a peek of pears from that
very cane /! We have no conception
of the activity of that soil Prodig-
ious crops of wheat and oats are rails
ed /; and as to peaches, plums and
pears, Why should ruin my character
for truth and veracity, should ! give
you the facts about them. Pears
weigh.five and six pounds grapes
weigh four and half pounds to the
bunch. tbs the greatest grapc-grow-
ing country in the world they are
produced in the greatest profusion--
grapes for breakfast, grapes for din
ner--and yet they are not cheap, be-
cause labor enters into their cultiva-
ton, and labor is high. So nothing is
cheap, though it Is picked UP in the
streets, because the man who picks it
up will charge you quarter for
STOPPING down. gAli vegetables, pota-
toes, turnips, etc, are sold by the
pound, and you can imagine what the
bill must be.--Address By Rer. DR.. Bel.
