The Baby and the Mule.

An officer attached to the staff of
Gen. Custer, having his wife and child
with him just before the celebrated
fight with the Indians West about two
years ago, gave them in charge of a
friendly Indian to take beyond the line
of the enemy. The Indian procured a
mule and started on the journey. On
reaching bog-mire he proposed to the
mother TO take over the child first and
return for her. When half way over
the mule suddenly stopped, and began
slowly to sink, until mule, Indian and
child disappeared. The mother, on
reaching New York, met Mr.. Bergh,
and with tears streaming down her
cheeks, related her sad story.
"Oh, Mr.. Berghr she exclaimed
words cannot convey what | suffered
on the occasion, as stood upon the
bank watching my poor child perish
within my sight, and unable to render
any assistance. All, Mr.. Bergh fancy,

Kindly COmmiserate.

The Cumberland News is responsible
for the following: "We remember
reading about a husband going home
tipsy one night during a thunder storm,
and who in ascending the stairs lost his
perpendicular and fell PROSTATE to the
foot of the steps. Slowly gaining sit

and then exclaimed to his better half
Wife, terrible clap that did the light
ming strike anybody elser The story
is somewhat eclipsed by the following
facts which occurred in this city yester-
day: Two men were engaged in a quar-
rel on the railroad, and train of cars
approaching, the attention of one of the
belligerents was drawn to the train. The
other man thinking 'now was his
chance let fly his fist against the side
of the other mans head, which felled
him to the ground, and he laid there
apparently in an insensible condition.
The other man, seeing what he had
done, became fri ghtened and ran away.
A gentleman witnessing the affair went
to the assistance of the PROSTATE man,
when the latter, reviving and looking
around, asked: 'Ohl did the cars run
over the other fellow, too?'"

Hints for the Housewife.

A Useful Article.-Ammonia, or, as
it is generally called, spirits of harts-
horn, is powerful alkali, and dissolves
grease and dirt with great ease. 1t has
lately been recommended very highly
for domestic purposes. For washing
paint. put tablespoonful in quart of
moderately hot water, dip in flannel
cloth, and then wipe off the woodwork /;
no scrubbing will be necessary. For
taking greasy spots from any fabric use
the ammonia nearly pure, then lay
white blotting paper over the spot and
iron it lightly. In washing lace put
about twelve drops in pint of warm
suds. To clean silver mix two tea
spoonfuls of ammonia in quart of hot
suds. Put in your silverware and wash,
using an old nail-brush or tooth brush
for the purpose. For cleaning hair
brushes, etc., simply shake the brushes
up and down in mixture of one table.

Drying Up.

1t is predicted that Lake Erie, now
the pathway of mighty commerce,
will in time dry up and become the
home of a teeming population. Care
full surveys have shown that while
Lake Michigan has an average depth of
1900 feet, Lake Superior of 900 feet
and Lake Ontario of 500 feet, Lake
Erie has an average depth of only 10
fec, which is said to be constantly de-
creasing. The bottom of the lake is
quite level, and composed of soft clay.
This clay is constantly accommodating
from sediment carried down by tribu-
tary streams. The south shore is COM
posed of easily ditintegrating blue,
gray, and olive shoals and gray sand.
stone. The western and northern
coast are made up of limestone of the
Heidelberg group, which quickly
yields to the action of the waves. Con
sequently both shores constantly are
contributing to fill up the bed of the
lake. The work is not rapid, but it il
said to be as certain as fate.

Ancestral VeneratiOn.

The present. iron fence around Boston
Common was cons tructed in 1886, under
the Mayoralty of Samuel I. Armstrong.
Previous to this date the Central Burial
Ground upon the Common extended to
the sidewalk on Boylston street, and
was there bounded by high, dilapi-
dated brick wall.
Mr.. Armstrong being DESTROYS of ex-
tending the mall through this burial
ground, opened negotiations with the
several owners of the tombs to be af-
fected thereby, and after many tedious
and pretracted consultations, all the
said owners save one, Mr.. H,
agreed to relinquish their rights in the
tombs. Mr.. H persistently and indig-
nantly refused to entertain any propo-
sition to deprive him of his rights. He
yehemently declared that he " would
stand at the door of his tomb with a
draaon s.cord to prevent any disturbance
of the sacred bones of his honored an
cestors
Nevertheless, the desired enterprise
was pushed through, and as a part of
the undertaking, the city constructed
the range of new granite tombs, which
is parallel with the Providence railroad
path. One day, after the completion
of these new tombs, Mr.. Armstrong
met MIR on the premises, and to,
gether they examined these new recep
tacles. The Mayor told Mr.. H
that he would give him the first choice
among the tombs in this new range il
he would consent to forego his right tc
the old tomb. To this proposition Mr.
H at last reluctantly consented, to
the great joy of the Mayor, who, tax
ing him by both hands, expressed hit
heartfelt satisfaction at the settlement
of the controversy.
"Now, Mr.. H. said the Mayor

What a Sightless Man Does,

APennsylvania paper, the Republicaner
von BerkS, has the following notice of a
remarkable blind old man: Mr.. Jacob
Hartman, a resident of Tenth street,
Reading, has attained the ripe age of
ninety years. He has been blind for
eighty -seven years; kept tavern forty
five years. Jour miles north of Reading,
in the house known as Blinde Hart
mans Wirthshaus.' He was his own
barkeeper; was SO expert in the handling
of money that any attempt to cheat him
was futile. He has a tenacious memory
When he was three years old his brother
thrust shoemaker's awl into his eye,
which led to total.blindness. He was SO
well acquainted with the neighborhood
that he could point with his finger to
any of the houses. He is the father of
ten children, of whom seven are living.
He could perambulate all through Read
ing without assistance. He is also a
mechanic, having repeatedly taken his
clock apart and put it together, and
tuned and repaired musical instru-
ments."
