4 wEsTERN FAMILY.

Recently the floors Of the Scien-
tifc American Office were made to
tremble under the weight ofa mann
moth man. Col. Ruth Goshen, Of
Algonquin, Ill.,, honored our scien-
tifc friends with d call, and, as the
call placed a severe strain upon the
building, it is recorded as some
thing unusual. Col. Goshen is an
actor, and a native of Turkey, in
Asia. The Scientific American
gives the following facts in relation
to him and his family:
"He is the fifteenth and last
child 1.-THE baby Of family OF iif-
teenEten sons and five daughters
sired by a patriarch now 80 years
old, living in the valley Of Damas-
Gus, and by occupation a coffee
planter This venerable sire, at
the present time, weighs $40 pounds
avoirdupois, and his wife, aged 81,
weighs $50 pounds,
The entire family are living, and
not one of them weighs less than
500 pounds. The Oldest son weighs
$50 pounds, and the youngest, our
hugh client, outstriping them all,
weighs $50 pounds. Not one of
the family is less than seven feet
in height, and the Colonel is a mere
STRIPPING Of only seven feet eight
inches in his stockings He is not
an unduly fat man, is only what
would be called moderately portly,
and his thirty-three years old.
He was a Colonel in the Austrian
army in. 1859, and a Colonel Com
manding in the Mexican army at
battle Of Puebla, May 5, 1862, in
which the Mexicans we're yictori-
Gus. His father at one time resided
at Leeds, England, but returned to
Turkey in 1S45.
The Colonel states that Chere mas
never been any sickness int the fam,
lily to speak Of, and that all are, so
far as he knows, well and hearty.
1t was at Leipsic, Germany, that
the Colonel met his fate, in the per-
son Of fair madchea, weighing
100 pounds, and five feet nine
inches in height, and the union has
been blessed with two sons, who
give promise of rivaling their ia.
ther in stature.
The Colonel is finely proper
toned man, and walks with a firm
and elastic step, He is as straight
rs an arrow, and has coal black
eyes, hair and moustache."

Miscellaneous.
The Digger Indian,

The condition Of the Digger Indian
has been rather improved by the white
occupation. He has more horsemeat
and more stale beef; he lives in framed
cabins instead of wigwams he carries
rifle or shot gun in place of bow and
arrow; the bucks affect in dress sort
of MeXico-American and Indian dan
dyism the squaws, in hoops and cali
co, approximate dimly to the fashion.
In many cases, his house is furnished
with stoves, chairs, and bedstead; he
pays no taxes society imposes on him
no burdens or duties; he has no legiti-
mate business; his faithful squaw pans
out few bits per day from some crew.

market with an immense funnel shap-
ed basket, full of abandoned beef and
shin-bones, while he, unburdened, fol-
lows after; no infection of woman's
rights has yet reached this tribe. Oc-
casionally he murders a friend; but
American law does not descend to his
sphere, and looks ON such transactions
in the same light as when one mule
kicks another to death. The largest
settlement is near Jamestown, consist
ing of some twenty or thirty houses
and wigwams in an irregular huddle on
mound shaped elevation near the
road. Here, on piazza, in front of the
town, during the hottest of the day
may be seen the bare-headed squaws,
sitting in semi-circles, gossipping over
the last circus. A circus is the Digger's
chief glory. 1t is for this he blesses the
advent of the Americans. Before they
came there were no circus, and far less
mule, horsemeat, and whiskey. He
focks into the Fourth of July and other
celebrations; he luxuriates in them !;
contributes nothing to the expenses |;
he has no idea what they are intended
for, neither does he seem to care but
the cream Of their enjoyment is his.
Unnoticed and uncared for by the su.
perior race, laboring under no ban like
the negro or Chinaman, he is the hap
piest, healthiest, freest, most indepen-
dant man in America. His head, un-
covered to the sun, bears black name

shrivelled and drier and drier; but
still he lives, until a hundred and q

Color of Horses.

A writer of the Country Gentleman
says: The dark chestnut and the dark
brown, so far as my experience goes,
they and the bloody bay, are more ex-
empt from disease than any other color,
five except the dun, or as it is errone.
ously called the cream, which is much
objected to. Dappled or greys are SUBJ
ject to fungus excrescences, commonly
called warts. Black horses are, accord
ing to my experience, more subject TO
affections of the eyes than any other
color also, in the feet they are, as a
rule, faulty and though pretty, are
not ofa vigorous, rugged constitution.
What horseman does not, of his own
experience, know what different shades
of the sorrel are subject to? They are,
as a rule, the most skittish. Who,
among experienced good horsemen,
does not know of all the balky horses,
he has known at least more than half
were light sorrels, or sorrels of some
shade? The most vicious of all horses
are to be found among the sorrels. For
intelligence, for general usefulness, for
beauty and for all purposes for which
the horse may be required, the above
three colors dark chestnut, dark brown
and bay) will fill the bill. Let no per-
son for moment understand me to af-
firm that there are no good, yea, very
good horses Of all and every shade Of
color-but I do wish to be understood
to mean this: in breeding breed al
ways from the best, for it costs no more
in any sense. The white horse is usu-
ally of good constitution and docile, the
spotted horse is very hardy, but by
most persons objected to on account of
color only. AS to size, black horses
are, perhaps, the largest all over the
world, excepting our American Black
Hawk; chestnut, brown and bay are
among the largest; some grays are
large, but not as q rule.

Insults 10 Women.

Everything seems to be on the down
grade. Formerly,a Irritation was consid-
cred sort Of innocent sparring, which
whatever 1t might develop into, meant
no harm. Ii was the sentiment which
prompted young man, for the sake of
discovering the exact state of tho ailcc-
tions of the girl he was foud Of, to escort
some other lady to church or lecture;
or which induced the girl who knew he
was fond to play off little, just to sec
how very foolish he might show him.
selfin consequence. Things have might
lily changed since those innocent times.
Now Irritation consists of standing
around on street corners, infesting cars,
stages and ferry-boats, pocket-handker-
chiefs in hand, all ready to insult the
first woman who is found guilty of the
act of wiping her nose. This flirting,
as it is called, has become so notorious.
ly common that not day passes with
out reports from wives, sweethearts or
daughters in regard to the contemplate
conduct of these street puppies. We do
moot need to be told that there are bare
faced and impudent women who meet
these animals not frequently more than
half way. Neither is it necessary to in
form us that these disreputable women
are the cause, in many instances, of
the insults offered to honest and modest
women. These points are both appar-
ent. When a woman, by hint or bland
ishment, meets the treatment she has
invited, that is none of our business
and we should not feel like interfering
if the respondent was ruder than she
bargained for; but for the staring, og-
ling, grinning, contemplate street cor

selves, and there is reason to believe
that many of them, from sheer self-do-
fence, will develop into pugilists. A
young lady in stage, the other day,
after having been punched and her feet
stepped on by abewhiskered, rose scent
ed tailor's model at her side, deliberate
ly drew off her glove, and gave him a
stinging slap on his face. When asked
by an old gentleman why she did not
appeal to him, and allow him TO protect
her, she replied with spirit: "There
might be some sense in that, sir, If
was sure of body guard on all occas-
ions but the probabilities are that
shall generally be obliged to look out
for myself, and propose to know how"
OF course we don't want our girls to de-
velop into amazons or Nantippes, but it
is pleasant to feel that they are not only
able to recognize an insult, but know
how to punish one.

Destruction Of Rats.

Several years ago, we took possession
Of an ancient mansion, in which the
rats reigned supreme. The nights were
made hideous unto us by their noctur-
nal rambles and gymnastics. The revels
that they held banished sleep from all
but young eyes. A council of war was
held on the side Of the bipeds, and sew
eral remedies were proposed-but cats,
cats, were considered the only means
OF defence; so two good-sized grimal-
kins were procured, and the conflict
ragged during a whole season. Many
of the aged of the tribe went the way
of all animal flesh, but the prolificness
of the females was too much for their
enemies, the cats. Another remedy was
sought and found ; copperas or sulphate
of iron, is very obnoxious to rats. Mix
1t with whitewash, prepared in the COM
mon way, and add the copperas until
1t is quite yellow. Whitewash the
whole cellar wall, sides and ceiling,
giving two coats OF it If the underpin-
ming is not well covered at first. Scat
ter the green crystals of the copperas in
every crevice and chink in the walls /;
throw it broadcast into the corners of
the rooms, and your rats will make a
grand stampede for other and more
agreeable quarters. At least that was
the result from our application of it.
All night there was hurrying and sour
rying in ratdom new home must be
sought. The next morning the cats had
rare sport In the wood-house and barn
the rats were attacked, and forced to
surrender hors du combat. The cats
could not eat all their spoils in one day.

applied. Every Spring, crystals of cop.

ONE of the most necessary, as it is
one of the most unctuous, adjunctS Of
diplomacy, is a good dinner, well flank
ed with generous wines of approved
vintages. However mach vegetarians
and people of stern fasting proclivities
may object to this assertion, it is still a
truism which cannot be successfully
controverted, that the approach to a
mans heart-diplomatically, anatomi-
cally, or otherwise-lies through his
stomach. A foreign ambassador gains
vastly in influence by having an accom-
plished cook, and this fact has been
recognized, we notice, by the British
Parliament, a committee of which has
Just made report touching the pran-
dial and bibular management of the
British diplomatic and consular service,
and recommending that measures be
adopted whereby these representatives
of the nation abroad may add to the at.
fractions and influence of their mahog-

Buchanan, late envoy to Russia, both
testified to the efficiency of good din
ners as aids to diplomacy.
