H1- 1t may, or it may not, be that
most of our young men, in going to
the Far West, arc actuated by a laud-
spirit of enterprise and desire to ex-
tend the humanizing influence of
civilization, but we fear this is not
always the case. Occasionally an
example comes to light that discloses
a different impulse. For instance: {:
in the Summer of 1865 four young
gentleman met for the first time in
Omaha City, and purchashed team
to cross the Plains. After having
travelled hundred and fifty miles
west of the Missouri river, one of
the party thus addressed his COM
panions: "Boys, we arc now safe
from officers and tho laws; let each

all looked somewhat hurried- Asrer
the applause with which these gen
tlemsn had been received had sub
sided and silence was once more re-
stored, the second part offhe concert
was opened by Jenny Lind, with
"Hail Columbia. At the close of
the first verse, Webstcr's patriotism
boiled over; he could stand it no
longer, and rising, like Olympian
Jove, he added his deep, sonorour,
bass voice to tho chorus. Mrs. Web
s!er, who sat Immediately behind
him, kept tugging at his coat tail to
make him sit down or stop singing;
but it was of no earthly use. and at
the close of each verso Webster
joined in. and it was hard to say
whether Jenny Lind, Webster, or
the audience were the most delight
ed. At the close of tho air Mr..
Webster arose, hat in hand, and
made her such bow as Chesterfield
would have deemed fortune fer his
son, and which eclipsed D'Orsay
best. Jenny Lind blushed at the
distinguished honor, and courtesied
to the floor; the audience applauded
to the very echo; Webster, deter
mined not to be outdone in polite
ness, bowed again: Miss Lind re-
courtesicd; the house reapplauded-
and this was repeated eight or nine
times.

"The intense Stiffness of some things
in the account of General Grants g
early life, communicated by his aged
father, who is in his second childhood,
to the New York Ledger, has pro-
voked general displeasnre. Justice
to Grant requires the statement
that he made every proper effort to
prevent their publication. 1t is now
Understood that he has quite recent
ly made such peremptory representa-
tons as will be apt to stop their ap'
pearancc."

HOUSEHOLD TIlNrs.-Wood ashes,
wet with water, will stop the cracks
of a stove, and prevent the smoke
from escaping. Stir Poland starch
with a common candle, and it will
not stick to the iron, and it will be
much nicer. Alum or vinegar is
good to set colors, red, green, or yell
low. Frozen potatoes make more
starch than fresh ones they also
make nice cake. A hot shovel held
over varnished furniture will take
out white spots. A bit Of glue dis
solved in skim milk and water will
restore Grape. Ribbons of any kind
should be washed in cold soap suds,
and no: rinsed. your flat-irons
are rough, rub them with fine salt,
and it will make them smooth. If
you arc buying carpet for durabili-
ty choose small figures. Half a
cranberry on a corn will soon kill it.

LIFE WAsTED.-Valuablc lives are

comes crime. Some of the best
and wisest and greatest men of our
race have perished from the world in
consequence of what might be con-
s:dered q carelessncss, recklcssness
or an ignorance which is amazing to
be found in minds like theirs. The
immediate cause Of Lord Bacon's
death was sleeping in a damp bed.
ANY old woman who does not know
b from bulls foot would know bet
ter than that. Yet it was the mis-
take of the greatest mind Of his age
and generation. Rachel, the great
est tragic actress of her time, took
cold which carried her to her grave,
by riding in railway carriage not
sufficiently warmed, on bitter cold
night Immediately after perform
ancc, which had heated up her
whole system far beyond its natural
standard. The great thcologian,
Adds, son Ale xandra, for whom it
was claimed that he was the best Bible
scholar living, and that ne had pow
ers Of mind uneqnaled in his day,
died in the very prime his life, be-
cause, havinga feeling almost bor-
dering on contempt for physicians,
he allowed his mortal malady to prey
upon him secretly.

bill Of tare, one or more ofthe c dish
es of which are specific to the locaIi-
" named: The Greenlander con-
siders a whales tail an especial dain-
ty, the more putrid the more savory.
The liver of porpoise makes his
mouth water, while roasted rat, fol-
lowed by bumper of train oil, is ex-
cellent to stop off" with. The
EsquimauX endorses the Greenland
crs exquisitcness oftaste, only differ
ing in preference for walrus'
tongues and tallow candles. In
South America fashion recognizes a
notable dish in tie tongue of the sea
lion. John Chinaman is also eccen-
trio in his appetite. Shark fin soup,
dead rats and the nest of birds arc es-
pecially acceptable to him, while his
prediction for fattencd dogs is no.
torious. The aristocrats of fZanzibar,
in Africa, the Sandwich Islanders
and the aborigincs of Australia also
like the last dish named. The McX-
leans make species of bread of the
eggs Of insects which inhabit the
fresh waters of their lagoons. The
Orinoco Indians make a substitute
for butter out Of turtles eggs, while
lizards eggs are regarded as deli
cacy in some of the South Sea
Islands. In many parts Of the world
insects supply esteemed dishes.
Locusts are eaten by several tribes OF
Indians; the Bushmeh Of Africa in
dulge in roasting spiders; maggots
tickle the palates of the half-brutish
Australians, and the Chinese feast
upon the chrysalis of the silk-worm.
The French are frog eating people,
and show disposition to take kindly
to horse-fesh. OF course this list
does not complete the list Of edible
danties discovered by necessity and
sanctioned by fashion, but is suili
cient to convince us Of the vagarics
of taste. Not a few travellers have
declared many of these dishes to be
quite palatable. Though not over
squeamish, there are mono Oh the bill
