"The Exchange was in u corner

at right angles to tho sidewalk where
they were standing. Montana went in
at the front door but came out At the

he had crossed the main street TO guard

Some interesting observations have
recently been made in regard to the
colored stars about Kappa Crucis. Mr..
Il. @. Russell, Of the Sydney 0bserva-
tory, sends to Nature an account OF
some observations which he has made
in that portion Of the heavens, and ven.
lures the assertion that astronomers
will gain fresh knowledge, especially
with regard to the Eebular theory, by
careful examinations Of the phenomena
developed in the direction OF this beau.
tiiul cluster OF stars.
Mr.. Russell holds that II is beyond
all question that from some cause, there
has, as in the direction Of Eta Argus,
been recently developed q considerable
increase OF brilliancy about Kappa
Crucis; also, that there has been not
only there, but in other directions in
the heavens, o sensible amount Of
"clearing up" within the last twenty
Ave years. In other words, that the
process Of the formation Of new systems
Of stars Is actually going on, before the
eyes Of the astronomer that suns, by
careful observations, may be detected
in all stages OF progress, from the
greatest nebuIoaty, without form and
void, to the finished sun, whatever that
may be.
Il is in this view, Mr.. Russell thinks,
we may find rational explanation Of
the appearance Of new stars in and
nl,out tho Kama Cfticis, But, wheth.
er we admit this or not, one thing is
certain ; We are not yetprepared to say,
with certainty, that such changes are
not going on In space, as will suffice for
a full explanation Of tie undoubted ap.
pearanco OF the small new stars above
alluded to, II not Of the greater changes
about Eta Argus. Scientific Press.

An Adroit Fraud.

Some nine years ago, Solomon Bacon,
wellknnwn merchant in London, re.
ceiyed letter from his correspondent
in Hamburg, which grieved and ton.
bled him. II stated that tho writer had
been defrauded by his nephew, son oi
q widowed sister, Of El0,6OO, and had
fled to London with the money. There
was reluctance to make the matter
public, and Mr.. Bacon was desired to
keep silence; "but," the letter went
on to say, "if you would invite John
to dinner, and when alone tax him with
the crime, he might perhaps refund the
money. Shouldhe do 30, you may give
him G5OO." The London merchant
found tho young German, took him
home, and when tho ladies had with
drawn from tho dinner.table he ac-
quainted his visitor with his knowledge
Of the fraud. Alarm was depicted on
the countenance OF his guest.
you will not make this public, Mr..
Bacon 2" lie asked.
"Not II you return me the money
"But 1 lost E1, 900 last night al
Crockford's, and have not the power.
"Well," said the merchant, "return
me then 10000, and though / q little
exceed my instructions, will neverthe
less give you back E5OO."
"My uncle Is very good" remarked
the young man, and lie forthwith
handed from his pocketbooknine G, ,0O(
notes to his host.
az cannot change one Of these, SAID
Mr.. Bacon; twill not my check do ii
"ouite, replied tho German; ant
having received the E500 check, hastily
left.
The following morning Mr.. Bacor
went to his banker to pay in the notes
and found TO his surprise that the,
were all counterfeits. His nextinquir,
was after his check, but that was nj
ready cashed. He then telegraphed Il
his Hamburg correspondent, and loarnet
that he was profoundly ignorant abou
the whole affair. II was as adroit {
fraud as was ever plotted.

Habits of Black BASS.

A writer in tho Germantown 7eie-
0raph communicates some interesting
facts in regard to the breeding habits
Of tho black bass, as observed by him
in tho Delaware River and elsewhere.
lie remarks that as the time for spawn
ing draws near, the male and female
come together in pairs, each pair having
q separate spawning ground. A gravel
bottom Is usually selected which Is free
from sticks and stones, which Is cleared
for a space OF about two feet in diam.
eter, readily recognized by It's clean,
regular appearance. When the eggs
are deposited and impregnated by the
male, both watch with great assiduity
over the bed, driving of every intruder.
When the eggs are hatclied, the entire
family moves away, the parents attend.

Going 10 the Cars,

There Is something exhilarating in
seeing man hastepiEg to tho cars, es-
pecially II he thinks he hasn't one mo-
ment to spare, but, rather, several 10
gain, and has a carpot-bag in one hand
and paper parcel in the other. We
confess ourselves that such q sight Is
not exactly repulsive to us. He takes
tho middle OF the street, as il is the
most open thoroughfare, and has his
overcoat apart and tapping, under the
impression that 1t in some way accele-
rates his motion. While he thus leaps
over the ground, with the carpet-bag
swinging around and rapping against
bis legs, what a magnificent specimen Of
physical activity, directed by intenes
mental application, he presents. His
eyes arc set in his head, his face is
flushed by the play OF his muscles, his
mouth hangs carelessly open, and the
cords in his neck stand out like whip
lRshes. Faster and faster his legs ply
against the unsy sympathizing earth I;
wilder and wilder whirls the carpet
bag; everybody stops to look ut him /;
little boys, too small apparently to take
un interest in anything, turn out Of the
way TO observe him, and to conjure him
to greater speed. He reaches the de.
pot, dashes through without the ticket,
and lands on the platform Just Us the
train is moving away, but encouraged
by the criesand cheering shouts Of the
hangers.on who get in front Of him,
he makes the car, plunges into the only
unoccupied seat, which is next to the
stove, and while the water trinkles
down his body and myriads OF red.hot
needles pierce his flesh, lie has plenty
OF time to reflect on his narrow escape
from missing the train, and to properly
anathematize that last cup Of coffee

rho lIIrhls Of pre.Rmptors.

An erroneous impression Is prevalent
in some parts OF the United States that
under the late rulings OF the Interior
Department nil inchoate pre-empsion
rights are assignable. This Is serious
error. Careful inquiry shows that the
rulings and practice Of the Department
are as follows: In accordance witlithe
decision Of the United Ssetes Supreme
Court In the oase OF Myers agt Croft,
Il Is held that in cases where no liihibt-
lion or assignment ia contained IL o

laughter ms Medicine.

A short time since two individuals
were lying in. one room, very sick, one
with brain fever, and the other with an
aggravated case Of the mumps. They
were so low that watchers were needed
every night, and IL was thought doubt-
ful II the one sick with fever would re-
cover. A gentleman was engaged to
watch over night, his duty being to
wake the nurse whenever It became
necessary to administer medicine. In
the course of the night both watcher
and nurse fell asleep. Tho man with
the mumps lay watching the clock, and
saw that II was time to give the fever
patient his potion. He was unable to
speak aloud, or to move nny portion OF
his body, except his arms, but seizing
pillow, lie managed to strike the watch
or in the face with It.
Thus suddenly awakened, the watch.
er sprang from his seat, falling to the
floor, and awakened both the nurse and
the fever patient. Tho incident struck
the sick men as very ludicrous, aud
they laughed heartily at it for some
fifteen or twenty minutes. When the
doctor came in the morning, he found
his patients vastly improved said he
never knew SO sudden turn for the
better; and now both are up and well.
Who says laughter is not the best Of
medicines?
And this reminds the writer OF IN.
other case. A gentleman was suffering
from an liberation in the throat, which
at length became SO swollen that his
life was despaired OF. His household
came to his bedside to bid him fare.
well. Each individual shook hands
with the dying man, and then went
away weeping. Last Of oil came pet
ape, and, sinking tho mans hand, went
away also with lis hands over It's eyes.
It was SO ludicrous a sight that the
patient was forced 10 laugh, and laugh
cd SO heartily that the ulcer broke,
and his life was saved.

Health Of American Women.

A paper on the "Physical and moral
causes Of bad health in American
women " was read before the American
Health Association by DR.. Reeves, OF
Va. The condition OF bad health, he
says, requires no description to make
known its signs. It peryades oil class-
es, rich and poor, high aud low, the
educated and ignorant alike; II exists
as the opposite of good health. The
functions Of the body to be maintained
in health depend upon n proper OBJ.
seryance OF certain rules. The stomach
requires good food Of proper quality
and quantity, and at proper times.
Eyes, ears, and the various organs Of
sense require their proper treatment.
The skin should be clothed that 1t may
be protected from cold. The mind
should bo occupied with virtuous and
elevating aspirations that it may enjoy
the peaceful fruits Of q good conscience.
How much suffering is caused by dis
regard Of the laws Of health or Of igno-
rance OF theml The doctrine Of heredi-
tary transmission OF qualities, physical
and mental is almost as old as the hu.
man family. Many Of the deformities
aud inhrmities come from injudiciOus
dress. In their extreme anxiety to
giyc delicacy to their daughters,
mothers often adopt the very means
most likely to defeat the very object
for which they strive. They shut them
up in the house day after day the
consequence OF this unnatural restric.
tion Is the foundation OF a feeble con-
sEtution. There is no reason that girls
should not have the same freedom rs
boys, in their dress, and the same
privilege to light, air, and exercise
Look at the pale faces and STOPPING
forms in some OF the schools. They
are often pointed ont rs "the smartest
in the school. Their parents deligh
in their proficiency, procured at the
cost Of their physical nature. Such in
luences may produce prOdigies Of learn
ing, but they will not produce pure
minded, healthy wives and mothers
The undue development OF any organ
should be the signal for abstaininp
from an excessive use OF 1t. In knowl
edge Of the principles Of physical and
mental culture wo are greatly inferior
10 the ancient Greeks and Romans. The
system Of examining tho mind has be-
come too common, and the body is left
to pine. The pupils OF ancient schools
were treated very differently. Then
strength Of body and endurance OF fa'
tigie were not deemed incompatible
with graceful carriage us in the nine
teenth century. The fashionable board,
ing.schoolS for young ladies are an evil.
Uuless previously well trained by q
sensible mother, 1t is q sad misfortune
for young girl to be sent to such 0
school. Tight lacing is another fruitful
source Of mischief. The drawing ol
the corsets tightly over the abdomen
produces disorders and suffering with.

torian tones Of the village crier, the du-
ties Of which office are usually per-
formed by some superannuated or de-
posed chief. Runners mounted upon
ileet ponies nrs at once dispatched to
meet the returning warriors and gather
the particulars OF the expedition
whether successful or otherwise ;
whether they are returning laden with
scalps and plumber or come empty
handed.
Have they brought prisoners and
captured horses2 and are their own
numbers unbroken, or do their losses
exceed their gains2 These aud similar
questions are speedily solved, when
the runners hasten back to the village
and announce the result, whereupon
the occupants OF the entire village, old
and young, sally forth to meet the re-
turning warriors. II the latter have
been successful and have suffered no
loss, they become the recipients OF all
the triumph which barbarous and ex-
citing people are capable OF heaping
upon them. They advance toward the
village painted and dressed in full war
costume, singing their war songs, dis
charging their firearms, and uttering
ever, and anon the war-whoop peculiar
to their tribe. Added to this, every
soul in the village capable Of uttering
q sound joins in the general rejoicing,
and for time tho entire population is
wild with excitement. II, however, in.
stead Of returning in triumph, the war
party has met with disaster and suffer
ed the loss OF one or more warriors, the
scene witnessed upon their arrival
at the village is as boisterous as the
other, but even more horrible. Tho
party Is met rs before byall the inhabi'
tants Of the village, but in a widely diff
ferent manner; instead Of the'shouts and
songs Of victory which greet tho sue
cessful warriors, only the screams and
walls OF IN afflicted people are TO be
heard the war paint and bright colors
give way to deep black with which oil
the mournors and friends OF tho fallen
warriors besmear their faces, while
tho members Of the immediate family
begin hacking and scarifying their
faces, arms, mud bodies with knives,
and give way TO lamentations tho most
piercing and horrible in sound. A not
frequent mode Of dislguring them
selves, and one which Ihaye often seen,
is for the mourner, particularly II the
one mourned Is wife or husband, TO
cut Of tho first joint Of the little finger.
This Of course is done without the
slightest regard for the rules Of surgery,
Of which the Indians generally arc wo.
fully ignorant. The operation ssimply
performed by taking a knife, siten Of
questionable sharpness, and cutting
through the flesh and first joint Of the
little finger, leaving no "nap" Of ilCSll
to cover tho exposed bone. AS n re.
suit, in healing the flesh withdraws
from the mutilated portion Of the finger
and usually leaves nearly an inch Of
bone exposed, presenting Of course a
most revolving appearance.
