Remarkable Conduct of a Horse.

A RECENT French paper relates an eX-
traordinary punishment inflicted by q
horse on its master, for an act of brutality
by the latter towards one of the animals
stable companions.
A currier, named R, not tender in
his treatment of his four-footed servants,
returned one night in state of semi in
toxication from Marmont to Givors The
mans natural barbarity was at this time
aggravated by the drink he had taken,
and being dissatisfied with the efforts of
one of the horses-a poor sack which had
almost served its time-he decided that
the animal was no longer worth its feed,
and resolved to put an end to it. For that
purpose he tied the brute to tree, and
taking a massive lever used in moving
goods, he struck the animal several vio-
lent blows on the head, until the unfortu-
nate creature sank to the ground insensi-
BILE.
The master thinking the animal was
dead, left it on the spot, intending to re-
move the body the next day. The horse,
however, recovered his senses a short
time after, and found his way home, and
entered the courtyard at daybreak. Its
arrival was welcomed by the neighing of
its companions in the stable, which noise
awakened his master, who was now furi-
Gus at having failed in his cruel purpose.
He tied up the animal afresh, and COM
menced again to shower blows on its
head.
This act Of brutality was committed in
sight of two other horses in the stable;
and at length one of them, young ami
NAL, became so frantic with rage that it
broke its halter, and, rushing on the man,
seized him in its jaws, and, after shaking
l. IL l. 4 tror
pied on him with such fury that, had not
the mans cries brought some persons to
his aid, the master would most certainly
have been killed

A Simple Remedy for Dandruff.

THERE are doubtless few persons, espe
cially among gentlemen, who do not suf-
fer from the inconvenience of dandrutf,
Physicians seem to consider it not of suf-
ficient Importance to engage their atten-
tion, and the poor victims are left either
to practice their virtue of endurance, or
for cure to try some of the many nos
trums advertised in the public prints.
The intolerable itching which frequently
accompanies the troublesome complaint
is not the only unpleasant feature, as to
persons of any pretentions to neatness
the appearance of the white scales on the
coat-collar and shoulders is very obiec-
tionable. The writer. during number
of years, tried the different alcoholic So
lutions of castor-oil, and many other
preparations, without permanent benefit,
and as last resort was led to adopt the
plan of cleaning the scalp with borax
and carbonate of potassa. This proved
effectual, but after a persistent treatment
of some months the hair became sensibly
thinner, and perhaps would have soon
disappeared altogether. The belief is that
dandruff arises from disease of the
skin, although physicians do not seem to
agree on this point, and the knowledge
that the use of sulphur is frequently at
tended with very happy results in such
diseases, induced me to try it in my own
case. A preparation of one ounce of
flowers of sulphur and one quart of water
was made. The clear liquid was poured
off, after the mixture had been repeatedly
agitated during intervals of a few hours,
and the head was saturated with this
every morning. In a few weeks every
trace of dardruff had disappeared, the
hair became soft and glossy, and now,
after discontinuance of the treatment
for eighteen months, there is no indica-
ton of the return of the disease. l do
not pretend to explain the modus operandi
of the treatment, for it is well known
that sublimed sulphur is almost or wholly
insoluble, and the liquid used was desti-
tute of taste, color, Or smell. The effect
speaks for itself. journal Of Pharmacy.

Filing Saws.

The great secret OF putting any saw in
the best possible cutting order consists in
filing the teeth at given angle to cut rap
idly and of uniform length, so that the
points will all touch a straight-edged rule
without showing variation of hun
dredth part of an inch. Besides this,
there should be just enough set in the
teeth to cut kerf as narrow as it can be
made, and at the same time allow the
blade to work freely without pinching.
On the contrary, the kerf must not be so
wide as to permit the blade to rattle when
in motion. The very points of the teeth
do the cutting. If one tooth is twen-
tieth. of an inch longer than two or three
on each side of it, the long tooth will be
required to do SO much more cutting than
it should, that the saving be well done.
Hence the saw goes jumping along, work
ing hard and cutting slowly. If one
tooth is longer than those on either side
of it, the short ones do not cut, although
the points may be sharp. When
putting cross-cut saw in order, it will
pay well to dress the points with an old
file, and afterwards sharpen with a fine
milestone. Much mechanical skill is
requisite to put saw in prime order.
One careless thrust with file will shorten
the point of tooth so much that il will
be utterly useless, so far as cutting is con
cerned. The teeth should be set with
much care, and the filing should be done
with great accuracy. If the teeth are un.
even at the points, large flat file should
be secured to block of wood in such a
manner that the very points only may be

Nefer Tempt a Man.

THE late celebrated John Trumbull,
when a boy, resided with his father,
Governor Trufnbuii, at his residence in
Lebanon, Conn, in the neighborhood Of
the Mohegans. The government of this
tribe was hereditary in the family of the
celebrated Urcss. Among the heirs of
the chieftansh:p was an Indian named
Zachary, who, though brave man and an
excellent hunter, was as drunken and
worthless an Indian as, could be- found.
By the death OF intervening heirs, Zachary
found himself entitled to the royal power.
In this moment the better genius of
Zachary assumed sway, and he reflected
seriously: "How car such a drunken
wretch as l aspire to be the chief Of this
noble tribe. What will people say !?
How shall the shades of my glorious an
cestors look down Indignantly upon such
a successor? Aye-drink no more ~
And he solemnly resolved that he would
drink nothing stronger than water, and
he kept to his resolution.
Zachary succeeded to the rule of his
tribe. L was usual for the Governor to
attend at the annual election in Hartford,
and it was customary for the Mohegan
chief also to attend, and on his way to
stop and dine with the Governor. John,
the Governors son, was but boy, and
on one of these occasions at the festive
board occurred a scene, which will give
in Trumbull's own words:
One day the mischievous thought struck
me to try the sincerity of the old mans
temperance The family were seated at
dinner, and there was excellent home
brewed beer on the table. l addressed
the old chief:
Zachary, the beer is very fine; will
you not taste itS"
The cid man dropped his knife, and
leaning forward with stern intensity of
expression, and his fervid eyes sparkling
with angry indignation, fixed on me.
"John," said he, "you don't know what
you are doing. You are serving the
devil, boyl Do you know that l am an
Indian? Shall 1 become again the same
contemplate wretch your father remem.
bers me to have been? John, never again
while you live tempt a man to break a
good resolution" -.
Socrates never uttered more valuable
precept. Demosthenes could not have
given it with a more solemn eloquence.
| was thunderstruck. My parents were
deeply affected. They looked at me, and
then turned their gaze upon the venerable
chieftain with awe and respect. They
afterward frequently reminded me of the
scene, and charged me never to forget it.
He lies buried in the royal burial place
of the tribe, near the beautiful falls OF
the Yantic, in Norwich. l visited the
old chief lately, and above his moldering
remains repeated to myself the inestima

Wonderful Invention of California
Blacksmith.

VIM BERNARD, blacksmith, has invent
ed. discovered or constructed road cyl
inder, which is designed to convey freight
or passengers. 1t consists of drum open
at both ends, supposed 70 be from four to
sixteen feet in diameter according to the
size of the machine), and from four to
seven feet in length. Inside of this wooden
cylinder three groved tracks of steel, one
inch by three-eights, are laid. This COM
pletes the description of the shell, which
in prospective looks like a wine vat lying
on its side Within this is placed another
cylinder closed at the ends, and upon the
outside of which are three tracks OF IRON
conforming to the three within the other
cylinder To the centers Of this inner
cylinder the shafts are attached. The
freight is placed in the inner cylinder,
and the machine is ready to go. The
force required to move it is just equal to
| the force that would be required to slide
the inner cylinder on three rails well
oiled.
1t is in one sense sled that lays track
/ for itself as it goes The inventor believes
that it will revolutionize the whole wagon
business. Experiments have been made
with one roughly constructed, only four
feet in diameter, which was freighted with
| 1890 pounds of iron and seven men on
| the outside, which was carried easily over
level roads by one horse The tracks
were rough and the entire model imper-
feet, but the experiment greatly encour-
aged the inventor, who has applied for
patent and will have a working model on
exhibition at the State fair. The trouble
SO far has been to give the thing name
which will be descriptive of its construc-
ton and use Many have been suggested.
Among them "revolving sled, barrel
railroad" "cylindrical wagon" drum
COACH" "roller portage and the one
used by US, "road cylinder" Like all
inventors, "Billy" is laughed at for the
quaint novelty of his invention, and the
neighbors talk of placing the machine
under bonds not to kill sheep nor trespass
on the dairy but che laughs best who
laughs last" and Billy is reserving his
laugh for a final chuckle.-Sderdme''to

There's a word very short. but decided and plain
And speaks to the purpose at once;
Not a child but its meaning can quickly explain,
Yet oft tits 70 hard to pronounce.
What a world OF yexalion aud trouble twould

What pleasure and peace 'tw0uld bestOw,
II we turned, when temptation would WIN and en-
snare,
And firmly repulsed it with-''No."
When the ider would lure with tr1fies and play,
70 waste the bright moments SO dear;
When the scorer Vnholy our faith would gainsay.
And mock at the Word re revere;
When deception and falsehood snd guile would in

And neeting enjoyments bestow,
Never palter with truth for a transient delight,
But check the first impulse with--"No."
In the morning of lIfe in maturity's day,
Whatever the cares that engage,
Be the pfecepts of virtue our guide and our stay,
Our solace from youth unto age;
Thus the heart shall ne'er wayer, no matter how

But frmness and constaney show;
When passion or folly would turn aside,
Wen spurn the seducer with-"No."

Stewed or Fried.

DICK G.. was incorrigible. He was
hummer, and no discipline could make
him ANYTHING else. At a time when the
soldiers considered it wrong to steal
chicken, Dick confseated them with
flourish He would do this with impu-
nifty, although he was frequently punished
for leaving the ranks. On one occasion
he entered yard, ostensibly to get some
water. While at the well he hissed the
farmers dog on the chickens. As the
agitated mistress of the house came to the
door, Dick, in pursuit of dog and chicken,
was close upon fine fowl. 1t fluttered
toward the door, and the woman caught
il. Dick reached out his hands and TAX
ing it from her, said coolly and with
bow, Thank you, thank you" As the
colonel thundered out, Take that chicken
back, sir" Dick said, ''She gave it to me,
sir-said / was welcome to take it-ask
her if she didn't" and the poor, bewilder-
ed woman could not say no."
The next day Dick was notified that if
he fell out of ranks he would be punished
at night sure. He kept up well until
noon. Then, giving one of the boys his
gun, he slipped out for moment, but he
did not come back, and the captain was
furious. About three O'Clock carriage,
driven by a stylish negro, passed the reg
iment at race-course speed. Dick reclined
gracefully on the back seat. and as he
passed, lifted his hat and made a most
elaborate bow to the captain and COM
pany.
When the regiment went into quarters
for the night, they found Dick with fire
made, and chicken, potatoes, etc, cook
| ing. The Captain sent for him and order
ed him tied hand and foot. Dick came
limping up, dressed chicken in hand.
''rm sorry, Captain, doggoned if amt.
1 couldn't catch up, and so rather than
disobey your orders, hired darkey to
bring me on, and here am in good time
I thought you'd be hungry, and made
fire. have this chicken (see how fat 1t
is) ready to cook. Will you have it stewed
or fried, Captainfn
"Hang the chickenl 1 was talking
about you," pared the captain. 'After
all my cautions and threats you dropped
out"
''But lordy, Cap, was into camp afore
YOU was,n responded Dick. will you
have the chicken stewed or fried, Cap."
and Dick showed the Captain what a
beauty it was.
The officer glared at him moment and
then snapped out, "Fried, curse itI'' And
Dick served the chicken in triumph, and
escaped all punishment, as he always did.

THE parrot iz bird ov menny colours,
and inklined tew talk.
They take holt ov things with their
foot, and hang on like pair ov pinchers
They are the only bird kno ov who
kan konverse in the inglish language, but
like meny other nu beginners, they kan
learn tew swear the eazyest.
They are kept az pets, and like all other
pets, are useless.
In wild state ov nature they may be ov
sum use, but they looze about 80 per cent.
ov their value by civiliZashun.
They resemble the border injun in this
respeckt.
When yu cum to take 80 per cent. oph
from most emmy thing, except the striped
snaik, it seems tew injure the profits.
l owned a parrot once, for about year,
and then gave him away l haven't seen

he looks upon me az a mean kuss.

Immediately tew their native land, with
