The customers did the fair thing by them and paid
them what they asked for turkey, goose, Guau and

Fruit for Food.

One of the common diseases of children is
worms in the bowels. If child s digestion be-
comes impaired, and the gastric Juices become
weakened or defective in quantity 10y cver-eat-
ing of bad food the whole ailmentary canal be
comes clogged up and filthy, ard furnishes q
nest for such worms will breed there. In
this weakened condition of the system they can
not be destroyed by the progress of digestion,
and hence great harm comes from them. Now,
it is an interesting fact that fresh ripe fruit, is
the best preventive for this state of things. DR..
Benz. Rush pointed this out hundred years ago.
He made series of experiments on earth worms,
which he regarded as more allied to those that
infest the bowels of children than any other,
with u view of testing their power of retaining
life under various substances that might be used
as worm medicines. The result proved that
worms often live longer in those substances
known as poisonous than in some Of the most
harmless articles of food. For instance, in wa
terry solutions of opium they lived eleven min
utes in infusion of pine root, thirty-three min
utes in claret wine, ten minutes but in juice
of red cherries they died in six minutes black
cherries, in five minutes red currants, in three
minutes gooseberries, in four minutes ; whor-
tleberries in seven minutes and rasberres in
five minutes.
From these experiments DR.. Rush argued that
fresh ripe fruits, of which children are very fond
are the most speedy and etiectua. poisons for
worms. In practice this theory has proved to
be correct.
If we eat and drink hot and exciting materials
the blood becomes inIlnmed, the nerves eXasper-
ated and the brain sends out thoughts that are
base and mean. If we do away with those foods
that only influence the passions, and substitute
more fruit in their place, we would need less
restraint on wrong doers, Cor our heads would
be clearer our blood cooler, our nerves steadier,
our pulses more subject to reason, and life would
be a hundred per cent, trucr and better than it
is to-day.
We have only to read the travels of almost any
of our great explorers to learn that fruits are
often the only medicine that will ellectually re-
store health. DR., John Ross, in his expedition
to the Northwest many years ago, gives an ec-
count how he cured his men of loNthsome dis
ease by simply feeding them on wild rasberries,
found growing abundantly in all of our North
western States and Territories.
We should be careful, however, not to jump
at conclusions. y very bad case of dyspepsia
has been known to be cured by eating two slices
of raw onions every day before dinner. But be-
cause it cured one person is no proof that it will
cure another. Peaches have been known to
bring on eryspelas. Consequently each person
must determine what is best for himself indiyid-
ually.

NUMBER "a.
The Bowie Knife.

A feud had existed between parties in Alex
andria, Mississippi, for a long time, and it was
determined to settle the matter by fight. The
principals, with their friends, came TO Natchez,
and of the party were James Bowie and Colonel
Wright. At the time appointed they met on the
sand bar, two or three miles above Natchez.
The fight between the principals came Off they
exchanged shots without any damage to each
other, when IA honorable settlement was made.
But here the difficulty did not terminate with
the friends of the principals. The remark was
made by one of them, " Here is good time and
place to settle the QUARREL when pistols wero
drawn and a promscuous firing took place. 1t
was +" free fight" every one for himself. Ten or
dozen We're on the ground-some spectators
and all were armed with pistols, knives and
sword-canos; the revolver then was not known.
James Bowie was looked upon as the most dan
gercus, and was the target he received pistol
ball in his thigh, fired by gertlCmNn of Nat0hcz,
and fell. At this stage of the fight Colonel
Wright rushed upon Bowie, when be was down,
and ran him through the chest with his sN ord.
Bowie had armed himself with knife made
from an old file about twelve inches long, with
buckhorn handle, and when Wright thrust him
through hS grappled him by the collar and,
striking him in the chest about the collar-bone
downward, made II wound foot long into the
chest and abdomen-Wright falling upon his ad-
versary li.eless man. Here ended this terrible
affair. Colonel Wright was carried over tho
river, and buried in the graveyard above the
town. Bowie was taken home and seventeen
pistol and sword wounds dressed. lie was the
only one wounded, and Colonel Wright tbs only
one killed. From this fight, and the knife used,
the highly polished and deadly weapon known
as the Bowie knife took its name. IL is said
Bowie would never allow any one to make tho
slightest alluson to this shocking tragedy.
James Bowie was largely concerned in land spec
uNtions under the Spanish grants, but he died

Newspaper Patronage.

There seems to be n great many different ways
of defining and understanding newspaper patron
age, and as n party interested in n correct defn-
ition of the same, we give the following disqusi-
tion on the subject by one who knows whereof
he speakes. 1t may serve, perhaps, MS n mirror
in which certain parties may be able to " see
themselves as others see them"
Many long and weary years in the publishing
business has forced the conviction upon us that
newspaper patronage is a word Of many defni-
tions, and that great majority of mankind are
either ignorant of the correct definition, or are
dishonest in a strict biblical sense of the word.
Newspaper patronage has as many coors rs the
rainbow, and as changeable as Il chameleon.
One man comes in, subscrbes for paper,
pays for it in advance, and goes homo and reads
it, with proud satisfaction that it is his. He
hands in his advertisement and reaps his re-
ward thereof This is patronage.
Another man asks you to send him the paper,
and goes off without saying a word about pay.
Time passes on, you are in need of money and
ask him to pay you the sum he owes you lie
flies into a passion, perhaps not, and orders his
paper stopped. This is called patronage.
One man brings n hfty-cent advertisement,
and wants two-dollar puff thrown in, and
when you decline, he goes off mad. Even this
may be called newspaper patronage.
Another man don't take your paper 1t is
too high-priced, but he borrows and reads il
}
patronage.
One man likes your paper he takes a copy
and pays for it, and gets his friend to do the
same he is not always grumbling to you or
others, but has friendly word If an accident
occurs in his section, he informs the editor.
This is newspaper patronage.
Another man has taken the paper for several
years, bu, has not paid fof it, and he comes
with an advertisement he wants inserted free,
because he is ar old patron. This is called
patronage.
One hands you marriage or other notice,
and asks for extra copies containing it and
when you ask him to pay for the papers, he
looks surprised--you surely don't take pay for
such small matters. This is called patronage.
One man it is good to see such) comes in and
says "'rhe year for which paid is about to
expire. want to pay for another" lie does
SO, and retires. This is newspaper patronage
1t will be seen by the above, that while GER
tain kinds of patronage are the very life of the
newspaper, there are other kinds more fatal to
its health and circulation than the coils of a
boa constructor are to the uckless prey which il
patronizes. ."--Erchange.
