A Hero of the Southwest.

Horace P. Jones is a notable charac-
ter in the Southwest. He is at present
official interpreter at Fort Sill. Through
him the officers of the Government at
that post hold intercourse with the
wild tribes of the plains. Perhaps no
man living has more thorough knowl-
edge of the language of the Comanches
than is possessed by MI Jones. He
was present at the massacre at old Fort
Cobb, 1861, where he had a narrow
escape from sharing the same fate of
many others, who bled on that occa-
sion. During the dangerous times he
passed through some terrible expert
cnccs. On Onc occasion he found lim-
self suddenly surrounded by band of
twenty savages, with levelled rifles, all
aimed directly at him. The night
was dark and gloomy. There was
that instant was improved by
the imperilled hero to extricate himself
from his peri)ous position. Quick as
thought he dropped upon the grass
among the brushwood, and propelled
himself eerpent-like under the bushes.
This action for moment disconnected
his would-be murderers, and taking
advantage of the confusion, he man.
aged to crawl under the brush until
the opportunity to rise presented itself,
when, suddenly springing to his feet
with the swiftness of an alarmed deer,
he fled, and succeeded il eluding pur-
suit. On another occasion he was
pursued by four well.armed Indians.
The chances of escape seemed small,
but Jones never was known to lose his
presence of mind in the face of dan
ger. Taking his chances, he received
a round from his pursuers without
harm, and then shot one, reaching \
ravino skirted by timber. and soon the
only live Indian Of the party was rap
idly on his way back to disclose to the
band to which he belonged the fate Of
his three comrades.

Colorado and Consumption...John E,
Hoenan,

Grace Greenwood in the N. Y. Tribune.
l am convinced that consumption, in
it's earlier stages, can not only be ar-
rested, but cured, by residence in
Colorado; but consumptives in the
last stagas should by no means be sent
out here. Sometimes they linger q
little longer, but more often the end is
hastened, especially if the patient
comes alone. The air of Manitou. ever
80 balmy to me, was too strong for
poor John G. Heenan, expressing his
magnificent chest and producing hem
orrhages. It seemed to all who saw
him that he might live il he could only
keep up heart-but he was utterly cast
down. His sickness, comparatively
sudden, the rapid decline of his splen.
did physical powers seemed to him SO
mysterious, so unnatural, that he was
subdued and frightened. There was
in his look the mute, pathetic helpless
ness of some strong animal stricken
down. but not consenting unto
DEATH" I am glad to have it to say
that Mr.. Heenan expressed to his
physician great regret and manly
shame for much of his past career, and
. humble desire to live, that he might
"lead q better life." Coffin never clos
ed over more superb human figure
than his-was all chance for "better
life" buried with th,.t abused and
wasted body.

Sending Babies tO Sleen.

Some of the hill tribes in Northern
India have peculiar wey of sending
their babies to sleep, which is thus de-
scribed by correspondent of Bonn
bay paper: "Near q hollow bamboo,
which served as a spout, through which
the cold water of the mountain stream
poured forth jet, was disposed the
head of an infant, who was lying COW
cred warmly and fast asleep. The
bamboo spout was 50 placed that the
water played upon the crown of the
baby's head, over a part which seemed
bald Of hair, q consequence, perhaps,
of the habitual action of the water.
The rest of the child's body was not
touched by the water. The children,
(there were two of them) were lying on
their right sides, and perfectly still,
one would fancy in state of stupefac.
tion. They had been lying for an hour
and half, We were told, and would be
there till 8 o'clock at night, in all be-
tween four and five hours. I felt the
face of one of them, and found it cold,
and then held the wrist, but could de-
tect no pulse. Yet these hill people
are convinced that this strange prac-
tice, which is quite general, helps to
strengthen the brain, and mako the
children not only healthy, but hardy
and fearless"

Neputed Site of Babel,

The Rev. g. M. Gordon, writing in the
Church Missionary Intelig gence, thus de-
scribes the reputed site of the Tower of
Babel. A high mound is surmounted by
ruined and unfinished tower of brick, the
plain. An examination of the mound shows
that it il composed of the same elements az
the mounds of righteousness of brick
and rubbish, interspersed with broken pot
terry. These bricks are all of them inscrib-
The cureiform is the ancient Assyrian, and
il supposed 70 be the Oldest in the written
language in the world. One side, where
walls Of brick ascending tier above tier

convu]sion and disturbance-huge masses Of
brickwork, rent und overturned, vet 30 SOL
id in their ruin that it is easier to pulverize
the brick than to separate it from the NOR
tar. One of these blocks has rolled bodily
to the foot of the mound. Others are vitri-
fiod or fused by process which can be
ously enough the Arabs have tradition
that it has been destroyed by fire from
heaven. The sides Of the mound are pierced

view from the summit at sunrise is distant
and varied. The broad sheet of the Eu-
pirates winds for many mile, till lost in
the distance in "sea-like' plain. It is
difficult to resist the conviction that Birs
Nimrud is the Tower of Babel, the Oldest
ruin in the world. There arc those who
Qike Mr.. Rich) believe it to be the Tower
Of Belus, and regard it as part of the ruin
of Babylon, but l prefer to hold the older
tradition. And surely it is when standing
on ground like this that the language Of
tho Scripture acquires vividness and reali-
ty which rewards the toll of patient inves-
tigation, and makes the privations of travel
forgotten; and voice seems to breathe
from the resting-place of the Prophets be-
side these mighty rivers which is daily
more heard and felt, rebuking the sneer Of
the scoffer and the skeptic.

A Remarkable Man.

In Philadelphia, on Saturday, Ste

slave, but purchased his freedom us lie
was entering manhood, educated him

He voted for General Jackson at his
second election as Democrat, and WIS

inserted the word white in the Consti-
tuition of Pennsylvani" that year, and
fegnined his lost rights in 1869, under
the amendments to the Constitution of
the United States carried by the Re.

for all, especially to his own race, for
his successful battle with slavery,
poverty, and prejudice. He was kind,
and dispersed his wealth with liberal
hand. his benefnctions to the aged poor
being numerous.

Inheritance OF Vicious Habits,

We find almost as effectual and con.
tinuous an intervention of heredity in
the transmission of passions and senti-
ments of q very different order-those
which incline 10 vice. The liking for
strong drink, habits of debauch, pas
sion for gambling, acquire in some per-
sons degree of force which can be nc
counted for only by sor,c f....l organic
predisposition derived from their an
cestors. "A lady with whom l was &C.
quainted," says Cana Machado, "and
who possessed a large fortune, had q
passion for gambling, and passed
whole nights at play; she died of q
pulmonary complaint. Her eldest son,
who was in appearance the image of
his mother, had the same passion for
play. He died of consumption, like
his mother, and about the same age.
His daughter who resembled him, in-
herited the same tastes, and died very
young" Tho heredity of disposition
for theft. rape, murder, and suicide,
has been proved in several instances.-

A Woman of Rusiness.

There is lady in this city who is
author, doctor, artist and actress, and
who has won success in each of the four
professions. After breakfast in the
morning she will write for couple of
hours ON her story or essay for the
periodical that employs her. From 10

ceives patients in her off, e. She then
works at her easel as a painter till 6.
and makes pretty pictures which
always find ready sale. After dinner,
and on hours rest, she will go to the
theatre where she is engaged, and play
the part which she may be set down in
the cast. Did anybody ever know a
man that could anything like this Be-
sides all, she is accomplished in the
pretty feminine arts, knows how to
make her own clothes, is the mother
OF what Walt Whitman calls "bully
boys" and understands how to use her

Names Of Churches.

There is good deal of adroitness
shown in the popular names annexed
to churches. When DR.. Bellows built
his church with alternate stripes of
white and red, it was Immediately
christened the Church of the Holy
Zebra. The new church of Tying is
built of fanciful colored brick, and
already it is known rs tho Church of
the Holy Oil Cloth, which the pattern
very much resembles. Hepworth's
church is known rs the Hippodrome.
DR.. Storr's church, owing to the Pc
culiar shupe of the steeple, is known as
the Corn Cob. The second Unitarian
Churcl, is the Church of the Holy Tur-
tie. One of the churches where they
make baptisms a specially, and have
them every Sunday night, is called the
Wash Tub. An ultra Calvanistic church
is known as the Old Furnace, while an
ultra Liberal church is called the In
snrance Ofiice,-Burleigh IN Boston

VAMPIRES.

Revival In Europe Of an Old and flor.
rible Superstition.
This queer fancy has been revived
in Europe. It is one of the straneest
superstitions that ever existed, and is
that buried man or woman, with its
life still conscious, rises from the grave
by night and sucks the life blood OF it's
nearest relatives; and, what is worse
than this, every person bitten by the
vampire also becomes vampire and is
forever doomed to follow this dreadful
vocation. 1t Is now many years since
anything has been heard Of the super
stltlOn; but two or three law suits re-
Gently decide d in Prussia show that il
is not dead. One of these has lust
come to close, after two years of
wrangling. On the 5th of February.
1870, q Polish nobleman of the name OF
Poboloki died in Western Prussia. A
short time afterward the eldest son
died.: Immediately afterward four
members of the family were taken sick,
and, upon consultation together they de-
clded that their father was the vampire
engaged in drinking their blood. One
OF them, therefore, determined to ap-
ply remedy, which was to behead the
corpse, and place its mouth downward.
Ih's he succeeded in doing by bribing
the undertaken. Subsequently, how.
ever, the latter informed the village
clergyman, and the son of Poboloki
was arrested for deseorating his fathers
grove.
On the trial it was also shown that
the blood had been removed from the
body, and that the various members of
the family drank it. After two years
wrangling the case was dismissed on
the ground that no harm had been
done, aud that the accused thought
they were acting in self-defense. Since
that time three or four more cases of q
similar nature have been tried, ending
in acquittal also. To crush out this
horrible superstition, it will become
necessary for Germany to pass a law
against which, of itself,
is striking comment on nineteenth
century civilization.

Religious Songs OF the Negroes.

D4 oADNE1 ANDREWS.
The song oftenest sung during the
second year of the war was that rare
melody, ''Roll, Jordan, Roll" Some.
times it began,
"Massa Linkum sit tim on dc tree oh life.n
Watchin' Jordan roll;
denl Fremont sittin' on de tree oh life,
Roll, Jordan, roll,"
and SO on, through a list Of all the
public men dear to the negro heart. At
another time It began with the name
of the pastor of tho church, or the
leader of the meeting, and enumerated
a dozen or twenty brethren and sisters
as to whose religious standing there
could be no doubt. I remember that,
on one occasion, q singer introduced
the name of "Brudder Brown" when
the singing was interrupted by a wo.
man with, "does you mean Brudder
Peter Brown? Gaze if you means Fair
fax Brown calls for order!'' A salts.
factory explanation followed, where
upon the conductor of the meeting
asked another brother to ''lead in pray.
er for Fairfax Brown, and pray that he
may return from his backslidin'." Ere.
quently the song began with.
Lo'd Jesus sittin' on do tree oh life,
Watchin' Jordan roll ;"
and brought in the names of Moses.
Joshua, Elijah, David, Solomon. John.
Paul, and pretty much everybody else
OF good report in tho Bible. dull y ele-
waiting them to position on ode tree

the white visitor could not help smil-
ing at the placing there of certain pub
lie men; yet it was never otherwise than
delightful to hear the packed audience
strike the notes OF this Joyful and
swinging and resonant melody.-From
