Another warning is given by a correspon-
dent of the Farmer, who informs that paper
that Miss Lucinda Hopkins of Weeks Mills,
China, came lear 1cihg burned to death by
setting fire to a frizzled jute switch, which
she wore on her head in loose flowing man
ner. She was at party at the time, and as
she arranging her hair by the light of
candle, the switch caught in the blaze and
burned like a torch. She tried to extnguish
the flame by brushing with her hands, which
only made it burn the more fiercely. At
length Mr.. Orren Rowe succeeded in putting
out the blaze by slnotherjng it with some arti-
cles of clothing. The young lady's hands and
arms were badly burned, also portions of her
face and forehead. 1t is thought she will re-
cover.

Thrush In Horses Foot,

The occurrence of thrush in the
stable is not particularly crcditable
to the care or cleanliness of the
groom. 1t indicates either irrcgulari-
ty in the feeding or want of clean
illness in the stable. If the horse is in
the stable, and can be kept moderately
comfortable, give him q dose Of
physic. Along with the hard dry food
Oh which he has probably been liv-
ing, give him a few slices OF man
gold or Swcdcs once or twice week ;
allow him some scaldcd bran; he
may have besides, on the Saturday
night, an ounce Of nitro in the
mash. Carefully pare away the rag
gcd portions Of the faulty fulsome
frog, but vigorously avoid cutting
deep into it. Dress over the cleansed
surface every morning for four or
five days with calomcl, taking care
that the powder gets well into the
cracks and wherever the swelling
discharges issue. If the horse goes
to work, with the feet extensively
diseased, the frog and sole had better
be kept dry and clean by slipping a
leather sole under the shoe, and
packing between ii and the foot q
little tow soaked in tar OIL. AS the
foot requires to be cleaned and
dressed daily, the leather sole must
not be nailed on permanently

What the French Did for Mexico.

a correspondent OF the Louisville
Courier Journal, writing from the
City Of Mexico, says:
The occupation Of tho French left
its traces Of benefit to Mexico. They
permeated the whole country, and ~
thenative Mexicans are quick and
absorptive, ideas and ways are seen
to be left as institutions. In looking
around this city | see blocks OF splen-
did houses, monuments, and gardens,
and fountains, the taste for which the
French brought with them. And
when | take morning or evening
stroll upon the Garden Of the Plaza
de Armas | cannot help thinking, as
everybody must, OF the good and no.
bic Empress Carlotta. Six years ago
this vast square, upon which fronts
the palace, the cathedral, the munici-
pal buildings and the portales was
nothing but one sun-rehecting plane of
tlag-stones. The sight must have been
painful to Carlotta, for she sent for
one, two, three landscape engineers.
Plan after plan was shown of, and at
last the Empress selected one and ap-
pointed its author to superintend the
work. After the foil Of the Empire
il was predicted that the liberals
would etface this garden, as they tried
to efface everything that could revive
its memories, But this was too beau-
tiful, too attractive, for the inhabitants,
and it has been preserved as CarlOtta
designed and left it. 1t is the most
perfectly beautiful spot my eyes ever
rested upon. 1t is beautiful garden
in the heart Of the city, surrounded
by not a fence or gate. 1t is opened
by hundred walks from the sides,
and is composed Ofplats of trees, flow
ers, fruits, fountains, &c. There is not
an angle in it, and the undulations of
each plat differs from the other;
orange trees grow, and although the
lowest Of the population, as well as
the highest, and boys of all grades,
saunter there, not an orange or a flow-
er is disturbed; nor is there even q
sentinel in sight that l have seen.
The trees have grown amazingly in
that brief time; some Of them are thir-
ty or forty feet high, and already
there is shade everywhere. 1t is re-
freshing to see the children in their
sports, skipping the rope and what
not, and the lovers promenading every |
evening. One can apparently walk |
for miles through this charmed SPOT
without doubling OH his tracks. Twice

GOLDEN WORDS.

Pride is increased by ignorance,
those assume the most who know
the least.
Garments of beauty may cover,
but they can never impart worth to
an abandoned character.
Without modcsty, beauty is un-
graceful, learning unattractive, wit
disgusting.
The human soul, like the water of
the salt sea, becomes fresh and sweet
in rising to the sky.
The best way to humble proud
man is to take no notice Of him.
A man may have much Of this
world and yet be not much OF a
man.
The worker who divides his labors
wisely may often rest while he la.

How noisclessly the snow comes
down! You may see 1t, feel il, but
never hear it. Such is true chari-
ty.
The friend that hides from Us our
faults is Of less service to lis than

them.

1t is very easy TO cherish, like
Stcrnc, the scnsibilitics that lead to

The body ard the mind are i'm

Payson says: When we meet in
Heaven we shall sec how little we

Poor human nature is 20 inscnsatc

When u true genius appears in the

The first ingredient in convcrsa-

A Soda Lake.

Prom the Territorial Enterprise.
The soda lake recently located al
independence Rock, is one mile and
half In circumference, and it Is esti'
mated that at least 80, 600 tons of soda
can be gathered from it annually, al
a cost of 81 per ton. The lake is re-
plenished from springs which seem
to rise from the bedrock, which is
composed of kind of granite contain
ing soda telspar. The location was
made for a surface deposit, and fol
alum, soda, boraX, and all Other
alkaline substances. The lake is six
ty-five miles distant from Rawlings,
on the Union Pacific railroad. There
are doubtless in our State many de-
posits Of soda equally as good as that
mentioned above, and some of them
perhaps, near the railroad. Our pros
pectors will do well to keep an eye
open during their travels through the
country, for soda, alum, borax, salt,
sulphur, &C., as deposits of these min
erals are likely to become very valu-
able at no distant day, now that the
great railroad is completed.

THE CREATOR.

All things bright and beautiful.
All things great ana small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The rich man In his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate.
The purple -headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden
He made them every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water
We gather every day;
lie gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great Is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

The Way to Succeed.

Fortune, success, fame, position,
are never gained but by piously, de-
tcrmincdly, bravcly striking, grow
ing, living ina thing till it is fairly
accomplished. In short, you must
carry thing through if you want to
be anybody or anything. No matter
if it docs cost you the pleasure, the
society, the thousand pcarly gratili-
cations oflifc. No matter for these.
Stuck to the thing and carry it
through. Believe you were made
for the matter, and that no one else
can do it. Put forth your whole ell.
ergies. BE awake, elcctrity yourself
and go forth to the task. Only once
learn to carry thing through in all
its completeness andIproportion, and
you will become u hero. You will
think better Of yourself; others will
think better Of you. The world in
its very heart admircs the stern, de-
tcrmined doer. 1t sees in him its
best sight, its brightest object, its
richest treasure. Drive right along,
then, in whatever you undertake.
Consider yourself amply sufficient
for the deed. You'll be successful.

Tie Congressional Library is rich
Ill newspaper files. The files OF all
the prominent New York dailies are
regularly kept, and complete files are
preserved of many of them from the
date Of their first publication. The
London Times is filed from 1896; its
first number appeared in 17Ss, but it
assumed no Importance for six years
or so afterward. a complete file Of
the London GuecttC is also kept from
1865 up to date, and of the British
Royal Kalendar" from l772 to date.
The "Almanac de Gotha" is also pre-
served from 1776, ten years from the
date of its first publication, up to the
present time. The files Of all news
papers now or heretofore published in
Washington are complete. 1t is GUS
tomary for the principal newspapers
each to send copies of its daily edition
to the library of Congress free.
Strange to say, among the larger
cities, the journals of Chicago and st.
Louis do not observe this rule. From
the south, since the war, the Mobile
Register is the only paper forwarded
to the library.
