Amateur Press Association.

The Amateur Press Association, !"
representing the boys papers through
ont the Union, met in convention last
week at Pittsburgh.
"There were twenty three delegates
present, says reporter of that city,
"for the most part clever lads, with an
enterprise and knowingness about them
astonishing for their years. During
the day several of the reporters of the
city press called upon the association.
The celebrities among the youthful 1T
teyuH were pointed out to the visitor,
and their peculiar excellencles descant-
ed. There was kroler kuss, who was
in the habit OF writing humorous
poems Jacob Ominum, Jr., who had

ting his hero on an Iceberg and was
unable to get him of, IN consequence
of which he was obliged to suspend the
publication Of his paper; and there
was 'Downsel, a promising youth OF
Il, whose arguments on political econ
omy had attracted the atte ltlon Of the
entire juvenile world. Then there was
'Skift, whose pastoral poems had de.
lighted the present generation, and
would be familiar to posterity. Oh,
yes, | know Skift, remarked the visitor
facetiously. Indeed, Skift, your
name is almost as familiar in our
household as William Cullen Bryant's,
or Longfellows' You think, then,
I've made hit modestly inquiries
'Skift. 'Oh, most assuredly.' Well,
continues the insidiously suggestive
'Skift, lowering his voice to a whis-
per, would you just get the Associated
Press agent to telegraph to night to the

New REMEDIES FOR BURNS. Two
new remedies for burns are added to
the list The first is charcoal. A piece
of vegetable charcoal laid on burn at
once soothes the pain, says the Ga
zette Medicale, and if kept applied for
an hour, cures it completely. The sec
ond one is sulphate of iron This was
tried by NJ. Joel in the Children's Hos
pital, Lausanne, In this case, a child,
four years of age, had been extensively
burned, suppuration was abundant,
and so offensive that they ordered the
child a tepid bath, containing a cou-
Die Of pinches If sulphate Of iron.
This gave immediate relief to the pain,
and being repeated twice a day
twenty minutes each bath-th the suppur,
alton decreased, lost its odor, and the
child was soon couyale5cent. -Usdicak

Characteristic symptoms of Shoulder
Lnmcncss.

As rule, which varies very little,
the following symptoms will guide any
person in his conclusions as to whether
the lame horse is so in the shoulder or
some other part: Back him few steps
If he can lift the foot and bend the
Joints of the foot, and the fetlock, he
is not lame in the shoulder; for no
horse so famed can lift the foot, &c,
but in trying to back he will drag the
toe upon the floor or ground. When
this dragging is present you may gen
orally look for some injury to the
shoulder not always for the horse
viii often drag the toe from other lame
ness, but if he does not drag he is not
lame in the shoulder

Missed the Train.
1lleIIii.

Quite an amusing embarrassment
occurred at q recent wedding in the
neighborhood of New York. The bri.
dial party assembled punctually, and
the oxpectant bride waited her strong
arm of support until the stipulated
hour nearly sounded, when lol the
groom was not. The clergyman could
give her little consolation, for this
Christian was not in the land Of spir-
It's, and the great reunion, therefore,
could not be harped upon. Again if in
the flesh comfort was impossible, for
Miss Mcbride was not to be concilia
ted, while her 4" fixings" were losing
their artistic touch and finish Deeper
grew the flush upon her cheek, and
the soft eyes looked far from angelic,
when, hurrying with frantic speed, the
groom gained upon time, and arrived
just on the edge of the moment He
had missed the train, and his appealing
condition touched the stern heart Of
even a railroad superintendent, who
furnishe da special train, which bore
him to his place in the picture.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.



From a sudden jerk, or from a slip
when rising in the stable, the horse
does suffer lesion of both muscles and
tendons of the shoulder, and if not al
lowed to rest will be lame, which may
be prevented by timely and proper
remedies. Should the above accident
happen, the best simple remedy is the
continuous application of cold water
upon the first day. Then liniment
composed of 2 OF. is ammonia, or.
sulphuric ether, s OF. rain water; mix
and apply with friction, for ten minutes
each application, which may be twice
or more per day. This will soon re,
store the parts to their normal condi-
ton, when the horse may go to his &C
customed work, but must be used care
fully for few days, until the full tone
of the parts is restored

Give us Back the Tails.
a Mr.. Darwin SAWS

II we, - Mr.. Darwin Says,
From monkeys are descended,
Old Time, in changing things hath not
As vet the mstter mended.
Descendants of our ancestors
Have no such times a. they,
Who had no rent of house or tax
OF government to pay.
No tailor bills came ND sme Nature
Clothing gave
And freaks of fashion did not make
OF monkey-girl slave.
So the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails
And Darwin, if you can, my boy,
Just give us back the tails.
No hurrying out Of bed had they,
No boiling breakfast down,
No hasty walk to shop in fear
Of some old bosss frown.
The lady-monkey sat not up
Till day the night did rout,
In waiting for the lodge to close
And let her husband out.
They had no votes, tits true, but they'd
No officers to keep,
And Ger detaulting cash account
They never had to weep.
So the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails
And Darwin, if you can, my boy,
Just give us back the tails
They had no fashions promenade,
Where Deauty's feet could stray;
But then the cid boss-monkey had
No miiliner to pay.
They had no wine, the monkeys young,
Through night to keep a-storming;
They saved thereby you know YOURSELF
A headache in the morning.
A peaceful race were they, who ne'er
To wars appeal did fy
They saved thereby occasion for
A Joint Commission High.
A smarter race were they than that
Which from them hath descended,
And Time, by changing things, hath not
As yet the matter mended.
For the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
SO Darwin, If you can, my boy,
Please give us back the tails.

CALIFORNIA WONDERS. California
reports an additional wonder-what the
Indians call the abiding place of the
evil spirit-it being in the vicinity Of
the headquarters of the Kewah, near
the confines of Fresno, Tulare and
Inyo Counties. AS described, the
country is rugged and rocky-moun-
tains, with deep valleys and precipitous
eli ifs. Snakes and reptiles of every
description abound in untold num-
bers, and taken in all, it is a wild
and most uninviting region. The
ground trembles and quakes almost
continuously, and the abundant rocks
grind and grit together rs if urged by
some terrible influence. Frequently
deep discharges are heard, muflled and
dull, like the distant sound of heavy
artillery. At night the sounds seem to
be more abundant than in the daytime.
No Indian can be induced to venture
near the locality, regarding it with
superstitious horror No theory is
advanced to account for the pheno-
meUa.

THE MINING PRICES.

During the initiation consequent upon the
war, prices were increased until extraordinary
high rates were reached. At the close of the
rebellion, prices were gradually reduced until
in 1866 and 1867 the price per ton was about
81 cents, and the rate per car 7S cents. In
side labor, 81 Is; outside, 81 40.
Early in 1869 prices were advanced to 63
and 10 cents per ton and SO cents and 81 20
per car for mining; inside labor to about 80
per day and outside 81 IS. In May of that
year the miners made demand for an ad-
vance, coupled with a provision that there
after the rates of mining should not be less
than 80 cents per ton and 81 per diamond
car; other labor in proportion; and further,
that when coal could not be sold at S. per
ton at the shipping points they would inau-
gurate suspension. Their demands were re-
sisted by the two northern companies as be-
ing subversive of discipline, and Writ tally
placing the control of their property in the
hands Of an irresponsible organization.
