BLOOD. Some days ago, as we were
going to dinner, we saw, on the rear plat
form of the Depot, two persons in their shirt
sleeves barreling apples. We took them, at
first sight, to be Depot hands. A closer view
revealed the fact that they were the sons of
one of the noblest old gentlemen we ever
knew. The statue of their ancestor stands
on the Washington Monument at Richmond.

The Sour Lake in Texas,

About sixty miles from Houston, in Tex
as, in low wet prairie country, but itself
on high and dry ground, and surrounded by
a fine little forest, is small lake, whose di-
ametcr may be counted by rods, the waters
of which are so sour that it is almost i'm
possible to drink them. A number OF wells
have been dug in the immediate vicinity,
and the waters of these contain iron, alum,
magnesia aud sui phuric acid. NotwithstaEd-
ing the difficulty of reaching the place and
the poor accommodations, large numbers of
invalids go there from Southern States to
drink the water of the wells and battle in the
lake; and they experience Immediate and
remarkable benefit. The effect Of the baths
is sedative, and persons who have not slept
comfortably for weeks, after taking bath in
the lake in the evening enjoy a refreshing
nights rest. The water becomes more pleas
ant to the taste after few glasses, and may
be bottled or put in wooden casks without
lOsing.its strength. The soil is so strongly
impregnated with the same qualities as the
water that if the mud be dissolved in pure
water and a little soda or saleratus put into it,
1t will foam aud cfervcscc, and will be as sour
as lemonade.

AsroNIsHED RED MEN.-A band of In.
dams made sudden attack upon detach
ment of our soldiers in the mountains. The
soldiers had mountain howitzer mounted ON
a mule Not having time to take it off and
put it in position, they backed up the mule
and let drive at the Indians. The load was
so heavy that mule and all went tumbling
down the hill toward the savsges, who. fed
like deer. Afterward one of them was cap
tured, and when asked why he ran so, re-
piled: me big Injin not afraid it'll. guns
nor big guns; but when white man load up
and fire whole jackass at Injin me don't
know what to do."-NashTWe Press.

EIGHT Milk THE BEAR.-A good
brother in an Eastern church had a call to
preach. Being unable to read, he employed
u friend to read the scripture lesson. On one
occasion the chapter selected was Genesis
AAlI, which contained these words: "These
eight did Micah bear to Major, Abraham s
brother" The preacher discOurscd from the
text as follows: Brethren and sisters, let
us consider our blessings. Morning and
evening our wives aud daughters milk the
cows, and our wants are supplied. In the
days Of good old Abraham, as you have heard,
1t took eight to milk bear, and they did not
get much at that"

Judge Jonah Jones, Western judicial
dignitary, recently delivered the following
charge to the jury in the case of one Film
Crouch, on trial for stealing:
Jury, you can go out, and don't show your
ugly mugs here till you can find a verdict
1t you can't find one Of your own, git the one
the last jury used"
The jury retired, and, after an absence of
fifteen minutes, returned with a verdict of
a. suicide in the ninth degree and 4th verse"
Then Judge Jones pronounced upon the
prisoner the sentence:
Film Crouch, stan right up and face the
music You are found guilty of suicide for
stealing: Now, this court sentences you to
pay fine of two shillings, to shave your
head with bagganet in the barracks, and if
you try to cave in the heads Of any of the
jury, you'll catch thunder, that's all. Your
fate will be warning to others; and, in con-
clusion, may the Lord have mercy on your
soul"

1.-The passions" says Sir Matthew Hale,
"are unruly cattle, and therefore you must
keep them chained up, and under the govern
ment of religion, reason and prudence. If
you thus keep them under discipline. they are
useful servants; but if You let them loose and
give them head, they will be our masters, and
unruly masters, and carry you, like wild and
unbridled horses, into thousand mischiefs
and Inconvenience besides the great distur-
bance, and disorder, and discomposure that
they will occasion in your mind"

He returned to find that his wife had turned
over new leaf in the marriage service, aud
that another man occupied his seat in the
chimney corner. Did he go to work slaught-

Not much. He walked in and said:

That's the way to talk. I'll now bid you
