OLD MAIDs.-A sprightly writer ex-
presses his opinion of old maids in the
following manner:
| am inclined to think that many of the
satarical aspersi0ns cast upon old maids
tell more to their credit than is generally
imagined. Is woman remarkably neat
in her person. She will certainly be an
old maid. Is she particularly reserved
toward the other sex =? She has all the
squeamishness of an old maid. Is she
frugal in her expenses, aud exact in her
domestic concerns? She is cut out for
an old maid. And if she is humane to
the animals about her, nothing can save
her from the appellation of an old maid.
In short, / have always found that neat
ness, modesty, economy and humanity
are the never-failing characteristics of that
terrible creature-''old maid.

death VALLEY

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, with Gen. Palmer's engineer corps
of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, writing
from Camp Cody, on the Mohave river,
| California, gives the following description
of remarkable valley in that region:
Eighty miles northwest of this camp is
the well-known and much dreaded ssDeath
Valley" 1t is said to be lower than the
level of the sea, and wholly destitute of
water Mr.. Spears, our intelligent guide,
who visited this remarkable valley several
times, gave me the following account of
II, with the reason for its terrible name
The valley is some fifty miles long by
thirty In breadth, and save at two points,
1t is wholly encircled with mountains, up
whose steep sides it is impossible for any
but expert climbers to ascend. 1t is
devoid of vegetation, and the shadow of
bird or wild beast never darkened its
white glaring sand. In the early DAYS,
( trains of emigrants bound for California
passed, under the direction Of guides, TO
the south of Death Valley, by what is
now known as the sold Mormon road -
In the year 1850, large train, with some
three hundred emigrants mostly from Hi
noIs and Missouri, came south from Salt
Lake, guided by Mormon. When near
Death Valley, dissent broke out in a
part OF the train, and twenty-one families
came to the conclusion that The Mormon
knew nothing about the country, SO they
appointed one of their number a leader,
and broke off from the main party. This
| leader determined to turn due west so
with the people and wagons and hocks be
travelled for three days, and then descended
into the broad valley, whose treacherous
mirage promised water. They reached
the centre, but only the white glaring
sand, bounded by the scorched peaks, met
their gaze on every hand. Around the
valley they wandered, and one by one the
men died, md the painting flocks stretched
themselves in death under the hot sum
Then the children, crying for water, died
at their mothers breasts, and with swollen
tongues and burning vitals, the mothers
followed. Wagon after wagon was aban-
doned, and strong men tottered and ravcd
and died After weeks wandering a
dozen survivors found some water in the
hollow OF rock In the mountains 1t
lasted short time, then al! persisted but
two, who, through some miraculous means
got cut OF the valley and followed the
trail of their former companions Eighty
seven persons, with hundreds of animals,
perished in this fearful place, and since
then the name of Death Valley has been
applied TO it. Mr.. Spears says that when
he visited it last winter, after the lapse of
eighteen years, he found the wagons still
complete, the iron work and tires bright,
and the shriveIed skeletons lying in many
places side by side.

CERTAIN CURE FOR FoUNDER.-As
soon as you discover the horse is founder
ed, take him to the nearest branch or
stream Of water and tie him in it standing,
the water nearly up to his belly-his head
being so high that he cannot drink If
the weather is warm let him stand in the
stream several hours, then take him out,
rub his legs thoroughly to promote circula-
tion and again tie him in water, if he is
still lame By.repeating this process two
or three times the horse will be effectuaily
cured
If the weather is cold when the horse is
foundered, that is, if it is in the winter
the horse must not be allowed to stand in
the water more than about twenty minutes
at time, when he should be taken out
and his legs rubbed diligently till they
become dry and warm and the circulation
of the blood made active, and this process
must be repeated till the horse is cured,
which will be generally within twenty
four hours. This remedy will cost nothing,
can do no possible harm and will in every
instance cure, if the disease has not been
of too long standing. Don't be afraid to
try it Rural World.

A WoNDER OF NATURE The Califor-
MIA correspondent of the milwaukee, SeHtr-
net gives the following account of a won
derful discovery which has just been made
in that State:
ga vein of very curious rock has recent
ly been discovered in Ell Dorado county,
which as yet has failed to elicit from the
scientifically inclined any satisfactory ex-
planation. Several large slabs have been
taken out and are now on exhibition in
this city. Its popularity is that it repre-
sents landscape drawing wrought by the
hand OF nature thousands of years, per-
haps, before the advent of man upon this
Mundane sphere. Mountain scenery is
here portrayed on ineifaceable tablets by
a peerless drawing master, representing, in
variegated colors, bold and rugged peaks
rising one above another and descending
i'll long, rolling ridges of billy country
Barren rocks, trees and manzanita brush
in prOfusion give variety 10 the pictures,
but nowhere is to be found that essential
requisite 10 complete scenic picture-a
mountain stream. And here it would
seem that even so matchless an artist as
nature has actually blundered. Another
singularity Of this rock is that the pictures
extend through The entire vein, 50 that,
cut in any direction, it cannot be destroyed.
The color is Of a dull, heavy character,
consisting mainly of grades of red, yellow
and blaCk-seen at a little distance they
resemble merely a rude outline pencil
drawing, No geological savant has favor
ed US with an opinion as to the cause and
manner of their formation. The action of
water and reflection in some as yet unde-
fined way is the most plausible hypothesis
advanced. 1t has given rise to photo
graphic Landscape Rock Company who
design shipping to the Atlantic States and
Europe samples for exhibition. There is
certainly no deception about it, and it may
justly be classed as the eighth wonder of
the world"

PURCHASING A FARM.

Collector David Henshaw was a kind
| hearted man as well as able but smart
as he was, on one occasion in doing gem
erous act, he was sadly taxed in. An old
customer doing business in the town OF
Eaton, n. H., had failed, owing Mr.. HIS.
! firm about $4,000. After settling with
his other creditors. he came to see Mr.. H.
"Well, sir,'' said the latter, s'wbat can
! you do for US o.
''Have saved my farm for you. sir, %
replied the unfortunate.
Your farm, hey" said II. ''and what
have you got left !'
"Well, sir, horse, pig and COW,
AMI altogether think they may bring me
about seventy~five dollars-sufficient
hope to get myself and family out to some
of the western States, where l intend to
/ settle; by the way, here's the deed of the
farm" said the poor but honest debtor. as
he passed the document which certified
Mr.. H's. legal right to two hundred acres
of land, ''more or less" and long known
as the "Cold Stream Farm
''Oh, that will never do, says Mr.. H.,
and drawing his check for $500, he hand
| ed it to his old customer, remarking at the
same time that he "was sorry for his mis-
fortunes, and appreciating his integrity, it
gave him great pleasure to be able TO afford
| him little assistance at starting again.
| The poor fellow was greatly surprised,
and reluctantly taking the check, with
a tear drop i'll each eye," heartily thanked
his over generous creditor and departed,
but to be seen by II. never more.
! About the first of April following Mr..
( Henshaw thought he would go up TO Ea-
ton and take look at his real estate
Arriving at the town about dusk, he ''put
up" at the tavern kept by his old friend
March, who on learning his guests errand,
said he would go out with him next morn
ing and show him where the farm lay.
Next day, soon after breakfast, the two
sailed out TO see it. After proceeding a
few rods the old tavern n-keeper halted, and
directing his companions gaze to bare
but very steep and rough locking noun
tain, that stood mile or so off, remarked
that ''that was called Bald Mountain"
That's a rough looking place." SAID
the other.
WELL" continued the tavern-keepcr,
''the location of your property the Cold
Stream Farm-is on the top OF that
/ mountain"
eyes, but how do you get there -
''Why, you don't suppose anybody was
ever up there, do you, Mr.. Henshaw 20
''Well, what's the good of it-what is
done with it, ruefulIy inquired the
amazed merchant.
"The town sells it every year for the
taxes" replied the landlord.
They do, hey ?" says Mr.. Henshaw,
''and pray tell me who in these parts is
foolish enough to buy such property p
''Why any of our chaps around here,
who get into trouble or fail, buy it for
the purpose of setting with their Boston
creditors"
Mr.. Henshaw took the first opportuni-
ty TO return home. aud perhaps would not
have told the story, but friend, in ask
ing him as collector, TO give a man a
| place in the curtom house, for one reason,
among and above others, that he was
from New Hampshire-when he gave
! this little bit of experience with one of the
| Granite State men.

For PRESERVING FURs Ladies are
often anxious about keeping furs free from
moths during the summer months. Some
one advertises to send the requisite infor-
nation for 81 Darkness is all that is
necessary. The ''miller' that deposits the
eggs from which moths are Matched only
moves in light; the moths themselves
work in darkness. Hang the furs in a
very dark closet and keep the door shut i;
keep it always dark and you can have no
trouble. But, as closet doors are some~
times left open, the better way is to enclose
the articles loosely in paper box, put this
in a pillow case, or wrap around with
cloth, and hang up in a dark closet.
Camphor, spices or perfumes, are of no
use. Continued darkness is su fficient
And do not take out the furs in June or
July to give them an ''airing," for even
then cometh the enemy, and it may be
that In fifteen minutes after exposure, has
deposited hundred eggs If you consider
an airing Indispensable, give the furs a
good switching and put them quickly

WOULDN'T BE RECONsrRUCTED In the
work by John Esion Cooke, entitled
"Wearing of the Gray" the following an
ecdote occurs, which may, perhaps, be ap
prcciated under present circumstances:
In 1868 the enemy caught an old con-
tryman near the Madison Court>house,
and informed him that he must do one of
two things-either take the oath of ale
glance to the United States Government
or prepare TO be buried alive He de-
clined to take the oath, when his captors
deliberately proceeded in his presence to
dig grave, and when it was finished they
led him TO it and said:
''Will you take the oath ?''
''No !" responded the prisoner.
''You had better -
81 won't -
eff you don't take the oath you will be
buried alive in the grave in the next five
minutes !'' The old fellow approached
nearer, looked with attention at the pit
yawning before him, and then turning
round, with MS hands In his pockets,
replied calmly:

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY IN TENNESSEE.
The Chattanooga Union says that Mr..
VIM. Staples, while digging recently in a
salt lick on his farm, a few miles north
east OF Kingston, Tenn, struck solid
limestone rock about seven feet below the
surface He found in it a well, about
eight inches in diameter, filled with very
salt water. After the discovery of the
well Mr. Staples prosecuted his irvestiga-
tions, and found TO his surprise a line of
salt kettles. The kettles were of stone
ware, made of the same material as that
used by the Indians for their houseware,
such as plates, dishes, etc. The kettles
were broken, but the curvature indicated
that they were about ;hree feet in diane
ter, and were about forty in number A
most striking fact connected with this
discovery-is, that the kettles were found
at depth of seven feet below the surface
of the ground. Growing above them
were trees-poplar and oak-which were
evidently two centuries old.
