accordingly went for Smith, and in ten
minute rough and tumble night came
out second best. Now right here Is
where a sensible white man would have
quit and where the traditional heroism
Of the red asserted itself. He had been
grossly insulted in the presence OF his
sunburnt loves, and then ignominiously
thrashed. II was too much, and with
voice humbled with shame and a hosom
barred to the skies he approached Mr..
Gohn with: me licked; me big lngen,
and me no want to live. You shootee
me, George-you killum me quick-me
no want to live" George demonstrated,
but in vaiu-that buck was disgraced
and wanted to be gathered TO his fa-
Tiers, and insisted on being killed as he
stood shifting his brave, brown bosom
before the human slayer Of kline, Fail
ing to convince him that many white
man got whipped and then had the au-
dAcity to want to live, Gohn had TO lead
him away. On Smith returning to town
and cabin in the evening, the noble Ban
mack again came and insisted on being
killed, and fually persuaded Smith to
perform the bloody deed with a little
axe" Stoically stood the chief under
the shadow Of the blade, ready for the
sacrifice, and as it descended with q
crash, Mr.. Indian sprang one side, and
you couldn't have seen his heels for the
Dust, as he struck out for his f" wskiup."
II Cooper had been writing this. that In
dian would have now been an honored
corpse, but as it is, he remains for US to
endure and the peace commissioners to
take care of.

Asnnniah Prison.

A correspondent Of the London Daily
Telegraph, writing from Madrid, gives
the following vivid description Of part Of
the Saladero or City Prison Of that city:
"Having traversed well.lighted pass
ages. we stumble down a dark, break
neck aud filthy staircase, and, making
our way through groups of ill-tavored,
ragged denizens of the place, stop before
an iron.bound door, at which my conduc-
tors knocked loudly. 1t is opened. We
enter another passage, and halt for few
seconds. A man with forbidding coun-
tenance, himself prisoner, shouts loud
ly, announcing the Governor visit, and
crowd of filthy, miserable objects in
human form hurry past. The Governor
beckons me to follow, and we find our
selves in long, dismal, vaulted cham
ber The offensive stencil for an instant
made me recoil with disgust. Through
out the whole length Of this hor-
rible abode is sloping woodwork, sim
liar to that in guard-houses, which
serves for the prisoners bedsteads.
Standing on these sleeping places, the
wretches, about ninety in number, had
taken their position. No bedding of any
kind is provided for them, and, unless
they have friends outside who charitably
supply them with a mattress, the scum
of society crouch for the night on the
blackened, filthy boards, huddled to-
gether like wild beasts in their lairs. The
authorities have not sufficient quantity
of blankets to provide one for each pris-
oner. And now, although the weather
was mild, within this vaulted den the
pestilential atmosphere was damp and
chill. The inmates who had blankets
kept them tightly drawn round their
shoulders, for warmth, and for fear OF
their being stolen by their associates,
On the walls are long lines of wooden
pegs, to which are suspended the extra
rags of the prisoner entitled to consider
the portion of the plank beneath his
sleeping place. High on the wall to the
left hand are few small unglazed aperi
lures with iron gratings, which dimly
lit the den, and afford the only and
far from sufficient means of ventilation.
Toward the center of the wall is re-
cess. the state of which is indescribable.
And in this den, unfit for wild beasts,
human flesh and blood must pine and
rot until tardy Spanish justice either
releases the wretched tenant or sends
him for trial. or to the Bagne, which is,
by comparison, Paradise. The brawls
and fights which sometimes occur are
terrible. Imagination refuses to pictare
to itself the horrible and depraved scenes
enacted when the sun has set, and those
two poor little lanterns swinging by
cords from the roof shed their faint
flickering light on the mass of human
WI etchedness shut in from the outer
world! A sojourn in the Saladero would
demoralize the stronger mind. Therein
the innocent became criminal, and de-
pravity doubly depraved. The abuse OF
power, the total disregard Of humanity,
and the disgraceful administration of
law which my visit to the hellish place
has revealed, would alone justify. the
overthrow of the governments that have
tolerated them.

THE NOBLE RED MAN.
HeroIsm Of an InsuItsd BAnnAel


From the Virginia City Montanisn.l

coloring given to Indian character by
the pale-faced poets Of other days has
Just been told US By one Of the parhci.
pstors in a little squabble with one Of
the bone-picking Ban9acks who haunt
this vicinity. One day last week, when
George Gohn and George Smith were
killing beef at their slaqghter-house up
the gulch, Bannock Indian, sccompa-
MED by three or four squsws, came upon
the scene in search Of wood and the
legitimate plunder Of the slauhgter-
house-the refuse. The lordly child OF
the forest undignifedly stretched him
self upon the ground, aud calmly smiled
upon his industrious wives az they gath
cred the tEophies. Happening to pass
this Fay, Smith sccidentally or other
wise touched the big Injun's foot with his
boot, when big Injnn resented the fan
cied insult BY laying hold ofa clapboard
and sWatting George over the back.
More pleasod than angry, Smith retail
ated b. squeezing the red mans wind
pipe, and showing him one side, suppos-
ing this would settle t. Not 80, how

a writer in the English Independent
pointedly enforces the idea that to base
sermons on single text, sometimes only
containing few words, is a grievous
mistake, and one of the causes which has
shorn the pulpit Of its attraction and
pswcr." The writer thinks that all pas
tors should expound some part of the
Scripture at every service, both morning
and evening, not in the way of what is
called running comment, nor by sys'
TEN of drawing inferences from passages,
and far less in that dry mode which con-
tinually reminds ene Of the lexicon, and
which would ,coolly devote ten minutes
in determining whether the word there
fore" looked backward or forward, but
with an exposition worthy Of the name,
and one that brings out in clear man
ner all the truths in the passage, and ap-
plies these to the people who listen.

is ebout to purchase another batch OF

To Clean Last Years Silks,-For the

To Clean Last Years Silks.-For the
remaking of last years black silks, may
be recommended an excellent mode of
cleaning. Rub each breadth carefully
with a wooden cloth to get the dust from
the surface, then sponge it all off with
water in which one or two black kid
gloves have been boiled, quart of water
for pair of gloves; iron while wet, with
extremely hot irons, on the wrong side
For colored silks the same colored gloves
to be boiled. For this purpose it is well
to save old kid gloves Of all colors. An
other mode tried with great success is
the same process Of rubbing off the dirt
with woolen rag; then mix an equal
quantity of strong tea and vinegar, with
which the silk is washed by rubbing il
with q piece of flannel. 1t must be
made very wet Smooth the silk
carefully, folding it. and ia about fifteen
minutes iron it on the wreng side with
| very hot irons. This applies only tc
black silk, black ribbons, ciavats, etc.
but might be injurious to colGs.
How to Cook Beefsteak.-A beef
steak is always best broiled; but the fol
| lowing method is recommended whes
| broiling is not convenient. The frying
pan being wiped dry, place ii upon tht
stove to become hot. In the mean time
| pepper and salt the steak, then lay it OF
the hot, dry pan and instantly cover az
tightly as possible. When the raw tlesl
touches the heated pan, Of course i
seethes and adhores to it, but in few
seconds becomes loOsened and juicy
Every halfminute turn the steak; but bt
careful to keep it as much Is possible
under cover. when nearly done lay {
small piece Of butter upon it, and if you
want much gravy add a tablespoonful o
strong coffee. This makes the most deli
cious, delioately broiled, steak, full O
juice, yet retaining all the healthy, beefy
| flavor that any John Bull could require
The same method may be applied to NUT
ton chops or ham, only they require mor'
cooking to prevent them from being rare
An excellent gravy may be made by add
ing a Little cream, thickened by pincl
of flour, into which, when off the fire ani
partiallyeool, stir the yolk of an egg wei
| beaten.

RECIPES, ETC.

Fine clothes are sometimes spoiled
by boiling in hard water.
"A small piece of loaf sugar will al
most instantly cure the most troublesome
hiccough.
Unless fruit is packed solid it never
carries well-there must be considerable
pressure to prevent rafting.
TO have cured meats in perfection no
animal should be slaughtered until It has
in some degree at least attained its natu-
raj growth.
Delicate Cake-One cup white SUI
gar, five tablespoons butter, whites Of six
eggs, one tea-cup sweet milk, two tea
spoons cream tartar, one Of soda, and
lemon extract.
"A Ccment-A good fiTe-proof and
waterproof cement is little carriage OIL
varnish rubbed upon the edges of broken
china, with camels hair brush. This
can hardly be seen and if thorough
dried is most excellent.
Apple Tapioca.-Core some tart APP
pies, fiji up the opening with butter and
sugar, and strew some sugar around
them: pour one dessert spoonful OF dry
tapioca to each apple; pour some water
around nearly up to the top OF the apples.
Bake and serve with cream.
How to Boil Clothes.-"Daisy Eye
bright" says that clothes which are put
into boiling water when washed, will GER
tainly become yellow. They should be
nut into cold water and be allowed to
come to q boil slowly and boil twenty
minutes. She furthermore says when
your clothes stick to the lines in winter,
instead of pulling at them, bend or lift
them right where the clothespin was
stuck and they'll come off easy and won't
tear at all.
Economical Use of Nutmegs.-If
person begins to CRATE nutmeg at the
stalk end, it will prove hollow through
ont: whereas the same nutmeg, grated at
the other end, would have proved sound
end solid to the last. This circumstance
NAV thus be accounted for: The center
of q nutmeg consists of number of fibres
issuing from the stalk and its continue
ton through the center Of the fruit, the
other ends of which fibers, though closely
surrounded and pressed by the fruit, do
NOT adhere to it. When the stalk is
grated away, these fibers, having lost
their hold, gradually drop out in success
sion, and the hollow continues through
the whole nut. By beginning at the con-
trary end the tibers above mentioned are
grated off at their core end, with the sur
rounding fruit, and do not drop out and
cause hole.
