ELEMENTS OF A HoME.-I never saw a
garment too fine for man or maid there
was never chair too good for a cobbler,
or cooper OF king to sit in never house
too fine to shelter the human head
These elements about us, the gorgeous
sky, the imperial sun, are not too good
for the human race. Elegance fits man.
But do we not value these tools of house
keeping little more than they are worth,
and sometimes mortgage home for the
mahogany we would bring into it !? I
would rather eat my dinner off the head of
barrel, or dress after the fashion of
John the Baptist in the wilderness, or
sit on block all my life, than consume
all myself before | get to home and
take so much pains with the outside that
the inside was as hollow as an empty
nut. Beauty IS great thing, but beau
ty of garments, house and furniture, is
very tawdry ornament compared with
domestic love. All the elegance in the
world will not make a home, and ]
would give more for spoonful of real
hearty love than for whole ship-loads of
furniture. and all the gorgeousness that
all the upholsters of the world could
gather together

LIE Down AND REsT.-Dr. Hall says
the best medicine in the world. more ef-
ficient in the cure of diseases than all
the potencies of the materia medica, are
warmth, rest, cleanness, and pure air.
Some persons make it virtue to brave
disease, to keep up" as long as they
can move foot or crook finger. and it
sometimes succeeds but in others the
powers of life system has lost ability to
recuperate, and slow and typhoid fever
sets in and often carries the patient to
a premature grave Whenever walk
ing or working is an effort. warm bed
and cool room are the first indispensi-
BILE steps to a sure and speedy recovery.
| Instinct leads all beasts ard birds to
quietude and rest the very moment
disease or wounds assail the system.

cramped quarters l had to occupy, and

position was, as may be easily imagined,
anything but pleasant one. Surely, I
thought, the beggars won't stop here all
day; they must get tired of it before
long. But no, there they stuck, and if
ever any set of beasts, or even men,
showed indomitable patience, these
darned - of peccaries did.
BY sunset found the hardness of my
seat unbearable, and I shifted my posi-
tion to a standing one, but my legs were
so cramped that had to ''hold on like
grim death" to keep from falling. At
the time that ] thought my companions
would be returning, | began to bawl
out at the top of my voice, but no an
swering call came back, neither did the
pigs seem at all inclined to bulge. So.
after half an hours incessant ''coo-ee-
ing" | determined to begin with my ri
fle again and picking ont one of the
largest beleaguers, settled his hash.
Ten minutes after, another received his
dose.
| had now only two balls left, and |
hardly knew if it would be better to use
these or to reserve them for little later.
However, lad plenty of powder and
caps. So | knew that, after had done
all l could against infuriate animals, /
could still keep up fusillade as sig.
nal to my friends that something more
than common had happened to me. Sc
two more bit the dust, thus reducing my
much too attentive little friends to ten.
By this time evening began to close
in, and l became much afraid that ]
might be treed for the night had had
nothing to eat or drink, save cup Of
two of tea, since the preceding days
dinner, and hunger and intense thirst
now added to my discomfort; the latter
however, | somewhat allayed by chew
ing the leaves of my tree; and another
good resolution was made. namely, new
er to stir again out of camp, supposine
L ever get into it again, without carry
ing store of biscuits and my spiri
flask. Suddenly [ heard the report O
a distant shot, and hope once more reign
ed supreme. So, pouring in a doubl,
charge of powder, rammed we'll home,
fired IN reply to it; and then loaded anC
fired half d dozen times, as quickly as
could. Presently heard shot mucl
nao-~-----a srrOu pegan to shout as loud

of our party sing out, "What in the -
is up? Where are you?''
Here shouted, cup tree-tree,
by hogs and, by Jove, they'll put yo
up one in about second if they fin
you. Cut back to camp and bring al
hands back"
"All right, old boy" was the reply
''Sit quiet; l won't be long,
In about half an hour my friends al
rived, and the first intimation that ha
of their approach was crushing volley

A charge followed, and in a few M
ments the coast was cleared of all b,

that it was not until my legs had bee

WORTHY OF ENcoURAGEMENT.-W
have always heard that the Indians are
very practical race, but it never struck
us so forcibly as when reading of late
occurrence in one of the tribes One of
their medicine men said that when he
died if the Indians would cut him
to pieces. the pieces would unite
again Immediately, and he would ascend
to Heaven in cloud of smoke. This
was more than enough to bring the prac-
tical nature of the incredulous Lo into
full play, and, therefore, one of the tribe
tomahawked the medicine man on the
spot. The body was then cut up ac-
cording to the recipe, but the expert
ment did not realize the prophecy of the
defunct, except inasmuch as the whole
affair ended in smoke. 1t is pity that
those amiable creatures cannot be en-
couraged to persevere in their practical
experiments of this nature, if an Indiar
is disposed of each time.

Special Despatch to 1zc Chicago Tribune.
ST. PAUL, Nov 20.-G1oomy news may be an
ticipated from Minnesota. The trcck-layers on
the extension Of the Winona g. St. Peter Rail
road we're approaching the western State line at
the rate Of two miles daily when the terrible
storm Of last Thursday night enveloped them
and cut them of from communication with the
civilized world. The working force numbers
over 800 men; and, so sanguine were the expec-
tations TINT the favorable weather would outlast
November, that no preparation was made to
avert the calamity which, it is fcard, hes befal-
len them. Only 3 limited supply OF provisions
VAS kept in store; for, although 100 miles dis
tant from the telegraph, construction trains
maintained regular communication with Sleepy
Eye, the nearest white settlement When intel
igence Of the storm reached Winona, Mr. J. E.
Stewart, the General Superintendent, started
out with two locomotives and q train Of cars
but, so heavy and deep we're the snowdrifts, and
so intense the cold, that, up to Sat
urday morning, they had not passed
New UIm. There two additional
locomotives wore attached to the train. Then,
taking on board rations for thirty days, and 150
men, besides materials with which to fit up
boarding accommodations in the cars for the
6torm-beseiged party, the train was again
started. Slowly passage ray VAS forced
through drifts eight andten feet deep, and, even
where the snow did not exceed one foot in depth,
