A RIVER IN THE OCEAN There is a
river in the ocean, In the sever
est drouths it never ia lis, and the might
lest floods it never overAows. Its banks
and it's bottoms are Of cold water,
while its current is warm The Gulf Of
Mexico is its fountain, and its mouth is
the Arctic Seas. 1t is the Calf Stream.
There is in the world no other so majes-
tic flow of water Its current is more
rapid than the Mississippi or the ANA
zon, snd its volume more than thous
and times greater. Its waters, as far
out as the Carolina coasts, are Of indigo
blue. They are SO distinctly marked
that the slime of junction with the common
sea water may be traced by the eye OF
ten one-half Of the vesse may be perceiv-
ed floating in the Gulf Stream, while the
9th er halt'is' the common water of the
sea, 50 sharp is the line and the want of
affinity between these waters and such
too, the reluctance, SO to speak, on the
part of those Of the Gull Stream, to min
gle with the waters Of the sea. In addi-
ton to this there is another peculiar fact
The fishermen on the coast of Norway are
supplied with wood from the tropics by
the Gulf Stream. Think OF the Arct c
fishermen burning npon their hearts the
palms of Hayti, the mahogany of Hondu-
ras and the precious woods of the ANA
zon ard Orinoeo.

Remarkable Indians.

The A liza California thus descrlb hes the
| peculiari,ies of a fragment of the Piute
tribe of indians who live on the Great
American Descrt-a region aboat one
| thousand m lies long and three hundred
miles wide, and on which there are
stretches OF one hundred miles without
grass or water.
The Desert Indian" is as much o re-
Fiction Of the country he inhabits as the
lizard or the hornes frog. He is hollow >
checked, thin 1.-the, and active. His ne
cessities have rendered him superior in
endurance, quickpess and sagacity, and
intelligence to all neighboring tribes.
Two months ago Desert Indian," car
rying express travelled one hundred aud
twenty miles in twenty-five consecutive
hours
Their upper extremties are very slen-
der ;they carry scarce any flesh but that
employed in locomotion. Their life has
impressed upon them wonderful phvsi-
ology their capacity to eat and to starve
is truly astounding. Six, months ago sew
en- Indians including child six years old,
ate horse that had persisted from drink
ing alkaline water, which weighed not less
than one thousand pounds, from three
O'Clock in the Afternoon I'd ten o'clock in
the morning of the succeeding day--intes-
tines, heart. lungs. aud liver Even the
bone. We're crushed aud tho marrow taken
from 'hem. lu short. at ten o'clock next
day no,hlug remained of the horse but
The hoots. SO i'll less than twenty-four
hours they had consumed, per capita,
more than one hundred pounds of meat
Another instance:--Ab bout year ago,
o gentleman driving number of horses
across the Desert lost thirty of them, at
Intervals along the road. A party of
Desert Indians started in upon the road
80 fatal to the horses. and devoured every
one of them as they went, coming out on
the other side Of the desert as fat as seals.
They travelled in the searching heat of
the desert from seventy to eighty miles
day, without dificulty.
1t would seem that the Pluto tribe of
Indians are in process Of spontaneous and
natural DETERMINATION, independent of
any destructive effects from contact with
civilization.
The statistics of Europe and America,
procured in the most accurate manner,
end on the largest scale, give. of all the
births. q boys to every 20 girls. The
uniformity is complete, rigid, and unvary
ing. For number of years past in the
Piute tribe, from careful Investigation, it
has been ascertaincd that three boys are
born to every girl. Everywhere is OBJ SER
we'd great deficiency in squaws among
them 1t is mathematical, at this rate,
that ere long the Piute tribe will become
extinct from Inherent causes.
For the last six years the desert In
dams" have found it exceedingly difficult
to exist. Hares and rabbits were their
great sources Of food, and at one time
they fairly swafmed among the sage and
stunted vegetation of the desert They
were invaded some ten years since by
some epidemic disense, SO that now only
. few remain.

,r WHITE seUAws-An Essay BY Bill
H'%stns, boy.-A squaw is an Ingip
woman. She is generally the wife of q
big lngln man. She does all the hard
work. She ises corn, beans, potatoes,
whiskey, babies. and other vegetables
for her lngin. She carries wood, makes
lire, cooks the victuals. and blacks bis
boots, while her big Ingin sits in the par
Tor and reads his newspapers, or loafs at a
grocery and talks "hoss'' to other loaf
ers. When he comes home late at night
drunk, he whips his squaw because sup.
per is not ready A squaw works like q
horse. and gets lickin' for her pains.
But 4 suppose she likes it, else why doe:
she put up with it. .
But know good many squaws among
white people. They do all the work al
home, take in washing or sewing, and SUD.
port the family, including big Inggin,
while he is very busy gambling and drink
ing, or fishing The white spuaw has
generally house full of young ones.
And they soon learn to treat her as
the'r father treats her. She drudges in
the kitchen, while her daughters CAD
about the streets or sit at the window
and look at the people. But the white
squaw does not want them to work. She
wants them to be ladies. They don't 20
to school, they don't work. They have
no money, but they will dress and after
awhile they turn out something else than
ladies.
know little squaw whose husband
is gentleman. He says he never did
work and never will work. He has no mon
ey, but he walks about the streets 18th a
cane and gloves. He says he can't get
into business. By that he means getting
somebody to lend him the money to live
on. Now and then he borrows five dol
lars of somebody who don't know him.
His wife takes in washing and does all
the work. She even saws all the wood.
She has two sons who are young men,
but they let her saw the wood. She says
johnny is studying so hard at his pro fes-
sion that he has no tine to hell her.
But | think his only study is base ball
And she says Willy is weakly, and never
could stand work. it makes him wilt
right down. T. would let him wilt
johnny comes home aud swears because
dinner is not ready. But she says he's in
such hurry to get back to his studies.
These IRE my reasons for saying there
are white squaws as we'll as red ones.
Mr. Printer, you need not be afraid to
print this. because no big Ingin will take
it to himself. aud other people will find
great many lngins that it will fit.

VITALIrY OF SEEDS In some remarks
on this subject the Ohio Farmer says, :.
gentleman upon whom We can rely, tell1
US that in early times there was a wagon
road through certain piece of thick
hemlock woods. in AshtabuEa county. ov22
yer which hay was drawn from one farm
to another Afterwards this road Was
abandoned and shut up, and forty years
later the forest cut down and as soon as
sunlight came upon the earth here, q
beautiful growth of timothy came up this
entire length and breadth of the old road.
1t is stated that people acquainted with
this circumstance generally believe thai
the hay. seed scattered there nearly half X
century before retained It's vitality. 4

SMILE WHENEVER YOU CAN.

When things don't 60 to suit you,
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in fretting,
But drive away that frown;
Since life is oft perplexing.
1t is the wisest plan
To bear all trials hravely,
And smile whene'er you can.
-. * 4-. -. -
Why should you dread tomorrow,
And titus spoil your to-day ?"
For when you borrow trouble,
You always have to pay:
1t is'a good old maxim
Which should often be preached
Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached.
You might be spared much signing,
If you would keep in mind
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from youc easket
That precious jewel-health.
Though you are strong and sturdy,
Not full may be your purse;
And earth has many trials
Which consider worse
But whether joy or sorrow
Fill up your mortal span,
Twill make yolr pathway brighter
To smile whene'er you ean.'%

Fate Ofthe Marsh ais.

Until this unfortunate war burst upon
Europe, for many long Year, no French
Marsha had been made captive by an en-
envy. Even in the disastrous Russia cam
paign the Marshals saved themselves, an
though the army persisted, it went down
fighting and in rags. The present cam
paigu opened on the 4tb of August, at
Weissenbourg; day or two after came
Woerth,, then Savern. Nancy, Graselotte,
and GA the twenty-uinth day after the
first blow had been struck, the eapitula-
tion of Sedan made Mcmahon a prisoner
on parole, aud put him out of the fight
for the war. In seven weeks came the
Metz capituation. It unplumea three
NJ ore Marshals of France-B azaine (the
best of the lot). Lebeuf (the worst, and
Canrobert one OF the heroes of the Crmea
These four Chad as is Lebeuf) comprise
about all the Marshals fit for active SER
vice or capable Of planning a campaign.
