ANTIDoTE FOR Poison OAK
We tind the following in an cx-
change: A standing antidote for
poison by oak, ivy, etc, is to take
a handful Of quickIime, dissolve in
water, let it stand half an hour,
then paint the poisoned part with
it. Three or four applications will
never fail to cure the most aggrav-
ated cases. Poison from bees, hor-
nets, spider bites, etc., is instantly
arrested by the application Of equal
parts Of common salt and bicarbon.
ate Of soda, we'll rubbed in on the
place bitten or stuDg. Before re.
tiring at night, apply sweet oil.

soon passes off. The water is said
to be very delightful to the taste.'

STEAM ROAD WAGoNs.-Carriages pro-
pelled by locomotives on ordinary roads
have long been in use in certain parts OF
Great Britain, and the question is being
discussed there as to the feasibility of
employing them more frequently. The
owner of one of these rOad-steamers,
writes the London Times from Aberdeen
in defence of the system. He has had
road-steamer, provided with patent India
rubber tires, running regularly between
Aberdeen and his -four mill, some three
miles distant, for the last three years. 1t
has to pass through narrow streets in
leaving the town, and along narrow and
winding country roads, with a gradientin
many places of one in eight or ten, pull
ing an ordinar! gross weight Gncludlng
steameO of some fifteen tons, and making
five or six journeys per day. The speed
is limited by law, but there is no difficulty
whatever on the open high road of max
ing speed of eight or ten miles per hour.
He computes that his road-steamer has
already made 1862 journeys of three
miles each, having thus travelled over eight
thousand miles, and carried about ferty
thousand tons gross weight. During the
whole three years he has not met with
an accident, nor heard of any complaints;
even the horses becoming accustomed to
their iron brother after little time. 1t
is difficult to imagine what might be the
state of things if each man had his loco
motive tearing along the highways or even
the suburbs of our crowded cities, instead
of his span of horses; but in isolated cases
it seems to work-at least it appears to
have done 50 in that Of the Aberdeen COR

WOMEN IN CoLLEGE.-A correspondent
of the San Francisco Bulletin indulges in
the following account of some Of the things
they do at Vassar College, and of the sort
of girls that do them: There is gymna-
SUM attached to Vassar. Into this also
we entered, took. our seats in small gal
lery, and witnessed the evolutions of a
hundred young women, armed with bill
lard cues, and dressed in short gray
gounds and red sashes. They marched,
counter-marched, clapped their hands,
stamped, struck out straight from the
right shoulder, straight from the left,
turned, twisted, got mixed upon an applr-
emily inextricable wbirl, got mixed out
again, and aimed their billiard cues at us
seated in the gallery. Said my com panlon
to me: "Those arc not healthy looking
lot of girls" and they were not, and their
drill-mistress, who stood directing their
motions from sort of pulpit in front, was
as door in flesh and sallow in complexion
as any of her company. think they
needed more exercise in the open air.
They should be mounted occasionally on
" bucking" Mexican mustang, and turned
loose on the beautiful and expansive grounds
Of Vassar College. That would bring the
right sort of color to their cheeks, and
incite their sluggish livers to more healthy
action. There is riding school attached
to the establishment, and when | entered
it three or four sedate looking young
ladies were cantering around the ring on
three or four sedate appearing horses, who
looked as if their entire lives had been
passed in the study of the higher mathe-
maticS

Fight Between Two Cinnamon.

A fight at Virginia, Montana, between
two Chinamer. named Nun Gee and Ching
Ho, is thus described by the Montanian
"Throwing aside their outer garments,
and each armed with huge knife and
an ugly looking hatchet, they faced each
other for the fray-the women meantime
viewing the preparations with unconcern'
For moment they stared at each other
like wild beasts over disputed prey, and
then sprang forward with uplifted weap
ons. In the first onslaught Hos nimble-
ness of foot saved him, for stepping quick
" to one side, the hatchet of Nun Gee
cleft nothing but air, and 1O buried the
blade of his tomahawk in the cheek Of his
unwieldy adversary. Withdrawing it he
stepped back into position. Howllng
vengeance, and with torrent of blood
gushing from his fIightful wound, Gee
rushed upon his man, and with a dexter
Gus blow, which would have been fatal
had it reached its mark, laid a three-cor
nered piece of Hos ear on the floor, end
received in return an ugly cash in the
right shoulder from Hos knife. Gee was
now bleeding freely, and with the ebbing
of the crimson tide oozed his strength and
discretion. He fought wildly, while his
willy antagonist rained his hatchet blows
fast and sure, cutting Gee in terrible
manner about the face, hands and neck.
At last, as Gee endeavored to grapple
his opponent, he received a deadener un'
der the right ear from Hos hatchet. Ho,
fearing arrest, fed. About this time the
police arrived upon the scene. Gee was
put in his bed and physician summoned.
Although horribly mutilated Gee may
possibly recover. The wound in the neck
is not deep, and the jugular vein was
missed. The section Of. his left ear is the
only relic the authorities have Of Ho, and
even that will be relinquished to the med
cal faculty on application"

COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS. Few people
appreciate the value of the village papers
which gather up the news of county and
advocate the interests of locality. And
few understand the amount of ability re-
quired to edit such a paper, where one
man must be editor, publisher, printer,
book keeper and all. Imagine how much
the intelligence of the country would Suf
fer by the blotting out of the country
newspapers, which treat the immediate
interests f the people and thus come in
to immediate contact with their minds.
The true country editor understands that
his paper thrives by being intensely local;
that it is not by learned editorials on tariff
and income tax but by articles in favor
of the new railroad, by description of the
new factory. by advocacy of the new
bridge, that he must succeed. People
look at this column not only for the latest
general news, but for mention of every
interesting fact, of every curious matter
of gossip in his own country. And thus
the paper becomes the reflector Of the
current events and the public sentiment
of his section. Nothing is too small to be
itenized if only it is of interest. Acoun-
try editor advertised the other day that
he would insert list of the names of all
the people who had joined the churches
in the county in recent revival. Which
showed that he understood his business.
He proposed to chronicle every event of
interest occurring in his jurisdiction.
Every intelligent family should give a
cordial support to the local newspaper.
1t is one of the great educational infu-
ences.

You've DUNN.-The boy Dunn, about
whose trial for manslaughter there has
been so much excitement in New York, is
a fair representative of the young rough
of Gotham. He was sent to the House of
Refuge on the complaint Of his sister. He
had been previously sent there on the
complaint of his father. His own testi-
mony shows him to be, if not adesperado,
at least in the fair road to become one. He
had while attending school stabbed his
teacher in the knee because he considered
himself as being punished unju>tly. He
was sent to Sing Sing for one year for
killing his keeper in the House Of Refuge.

An Ingenious Swindle.

A fellow has been arrestedin New York
for an ingenious swindle. He sent litho-
graphed circulars all over the country, in
which he said
I wish to sell you the enclosed note,
which I received in payment OF a bill OF
leather that | sold when | was in that
business. failed about three months
since, and lost everything | bad except
this note. I am to be examined by my
creditors in ten days. will have to swear
to whether | have anything left or not.
If they find l have not sold this note |
will have to turn it over to them. | can
not say whether they know anything
about this note or not; if they ask me, |
want to swear that sold it to man who
lives out West; my lawyer says that they
have no right to ask me the PERSONS name
that l sold it to, or how much received
for it, but they have right to ask me
what have done with the money. Now,
what | wish to do is this. You hold this
note until about a week before it falls
due, then put it in the bank for collection.
They will not charge you more than S.
for collecting it; then you send me $500,
and | will give you the balance for your
trouble, which is Sl60. Don't mention
ANYTHING about this note to any one. |
don't wish any one to know who holds it
until after it is paid, then don't care.
During the war, when [ was at Spring
field, a friend of mine mentioned your
Hamc to me, and from what he said know
that you will be honest in this matter. |
am afraid to let any one who lives in this
State hold 1t, for fear that some of my
creditors might find out who has it-then
they could attach the note; but when it
is held in any other State my lawyer says
they can't do anything about it. Hoping
that you will attend to this for me, / am,
with much respect,
