A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The perceptive
faculty of women is usually keener than
the same chronological organ in men.
Woman knows that beauty rather than
genius is worshiped by the sterner sex.
A man may talk with his lips of the latter
to his lady-loye, but the keenness of the
woman knows that he is thinking of the
former in his heart. All women have an
innate desire to please their beaur. They
are fond of admiration, hence one of their
Iongings is to be beautiful. The grand Sc
cret of female beauty is health-the secret
of health is the power to eat, digest and
assimilate a proper quantity of wholesome
food. Take VINEGAR BITTERs. 1t viii
cleanse the stomach, tone the vital organs,
give a perfect digestion, purify the blood,
cleaf up the complexion and produce a
state of mental and physical electricity
which gives symmetry Of form, bright
eyes, white skin, glossy hair and a genuine
type of female loneliness which no cos
metic can compare with.

A New York correspondent writes
regarding the Nathan mansion. that
though it will be three years next
summer since Benjamin Nathan was
murdered there the house still stands
without Il tenant. 1t is one.~f the
most handsome and most desirable
residences in Twenty third street, and
yet it can not be let t0Aa private
family at half the price it would have
quickly before tragedy. the sons of
the murdered mau hare tried to lease
it and finally sell it, all to no purpose.
The stain Of blood upon it repels rem
ters, lessees and buyers alike It is
difficult to understand why q mere
superstition, or perhaps, association,
should injure the beautiful dwelling
so much: but that it has injured it is
undeniabiy true.

An Auburn fisherman, a few days
ago, while fishing through n hole in
the ice, caught a trout SO large he
could not be brought through the ori-
flee. The fisherman, however, gently
played with his fish with one hand
while he chopped ice with the other,
until the opening had been enlarged
sufficiently, then with skillful jerk
he brought out dead cat with a brick
.on its neck, the entire prize weighing
over nine pounds. The profanity that
.ensued caused a heavy thaw for sixty
rods in all directions.

The Noble Red Nan.
Heroism of,an Iasulted Baanack Indian.

Heroism Of, Iasulted Bannack Indian.
[From the Virginia City Montaaian.
The nearest approach to the heroic
coloring given to Indian character by
the pale-faced poets Of other days
has just been told us by one of the
participators in a little squabble with
one of the bone picking Bannacks
who haunt this vicinity. One day
last week while George Gohn and
George Smith were killing beef at
their slauglter-house up the gulch,
Bannack Indian, accompanied by
three or four squaws, cane upon the
scene in search Of wood and the legi-
innate plumber If the slaagAter-house
the refuse. The lorGlly child Of the
forest undigni6edly stretched himself
upon the ground, and calmly smiled
upon his industrious wives ~ they
gathered the trophies. Happening to
pass his way. Smith accidentally or
otherwise touched the big Inipp's foot
with his boot, when big Iidh resent
ed the fancied insult by ley6ng hold
of a clapboard and swattnlg George
over the back. More pleased hhan
angry, Smith retalitated by sqneeiing
the red mans windpipe, and showing
him to one side, supposing this would
settle it. Not 50, however,. for" Lo,"
had been insulted, and&l,is-aignity
must be appeased. He accordingly
went for Smith, and in q ten minute
rough-and-tumble fight came out
second best. Now right here is where
u 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
sun burnt loves, and then ignOmin-
iously thrashed. 1t was too much,
and with a voice humbled with shame
and a bosom barred to the skies he
approached Mr.. Gohn with: g" Me
licked; me big Ingen, and me no want
to live. You shotee me, George-yOn
killum me quick-me no want to hye."
George demonstrated, but. in vain
that buck was disgraced and wanted
to be gathered to hia fathers, and in-
sisted ON being killed as he stood
shifting his brave brown bosom be-
fore the human slayer Of kline. Fail
ing to convince him thatmany q white
man got whipped and then had the
audacity to want to live, Gohn had to
lead him away. On Smith returning
to town and cabin in the evening, the
noble Bannack again came, and i'll
sisted on being killed, and finally per-
suaded Smith to perform the bloody
deed with II "little ax." Stoically
stood the chief under the shadow Of
the blade, ready for the sacrifice, and
Us it descended with a -crash, Mr.. In
dian sprang one side, and yon couldn't
have seen his heels for the d6E. ashe
struck out for the " wakiur." If Cooper
had been writing this, that Indian
would have now been an honored
corpse, but as it is, he rcnEii%s for rs
to endure and the peace commissioners
to take care of.

together force sufficient to employ
2O, 600 United States troops. And being
in the very region where the works Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad are to
he carried forward, they could endless
ly harass, if not absolutely hrrest, the
progress of that great enterprise.
Since this article was written we
hear that the Modocs have broken
camp and escaped from the lava beds,
and, eluding pursuit, they are roam
ing hither and thitber, plundering and
killing wherever they come, and
spreading alarm and terror among the
peaceful inhabitants. Their extermina-
ton has cost still further loss of human
life, and who can balance the account
before what seems now to be demanded
can be completely accomplished
But how is it with those communi-
ties who, as we hear from the far
West, have in their sudden bewilder-
ment of horror and rage arraigned the
members of the Cabinet here at Wash
ington, as though they had been
guilty of this high crime I How have
the people of Jacksonville on that
distant coast been so transported as to
vent their anger on the head of the
honorable Secretary of the Interior I
And how has the metropolitan press
Of the country been so far carried be-
side itself as to hurl anathemas upon
the head of the President, as though be
were responsible for this great calami-
ty3 And how is it that there should
be loud and prevalent demand from
SO many quarters for the swift and
total abandonment of the peace
policy Of the Government?
Such ebullitions Of passion can do
no possible good whatever. The peace
policy is one of the noblest efforts of
the present Administration. That
policy is one demanded by every con-
sideration of philanthroplIy, political
economy and Christian craftsmanship.
Its life and essence are in one prin-
ciple, the keeping Of good faith on both
sides. This has never been done before
us the law of national honor and truth
requires. 1t mast aa0,v be done. And
in this the best clements Of this great
nation will rally around the Admins
tlation, and while we drop the tear OF
sorrow over the grave Of Candy and
his fallen associates, and recognize
how fearful is the cost of doing right,
we must bow in silence before the
mystery Of Gods providence, and
acknowledge the dispensations of that
higher administration which controls
with unerring wisdom and unswerv-
ing Justice all the affairs Of men.

get enough to pay their board.
Shocmakers, that it takes their awl
to keep them atswork, and their sole
dependence is often in their last job.
Painters say that they haze become
literally hue-ers Of weed.
Upholsterers cosaplain that hing

Boilermakers aver that Congress
has kept the country in hot water to
such a degree that they have no
chance.
Blacksmiths complain that all the
forging is done in Wall street, and
there is no chance.
Tailors say that they mean to Gre

Candlemakers urge that wicked

Wheelwrights say that all the

to do as we'll as their felloes.
The papermakers say their bust

And, fiaal1y, the plumbers propose
to have their customers do the work,
and charge double price for snpcrin-

Sewing Buttons.

he OanDufy NeW8 Is the best dl-
gestive pill that has yet been discov-
cred. Here is an item concerning
buttons that should be read immet:i-
ately after a hearty dinner, or late
supper, and is warranted to make the
reader proof against dyspepsia. at
is bad enough to see a bachelor sew
on button, but he is the embOdi-
ment Of grace alongside of married
man. Necessity has compelled expe-
rience in the case of the foImer, but
the latter has always depended upon
some one else for his service, and for
tunately, for the sake of society, it is
rarely he is obliged to resort to the
needle himself. Sometimes the pa
tient wife scalds her right hand, Or
runs a silver under the nail Of the in
dex finger Of that hand, and it is then
the man clutches the needle around
the neck, and forgetting to tie a knot
in the thread, commences to put on
Il button. 1t is always in the morn
ing, and from five to twenty minutes
after he is expected to be down in the
street. He lays the button exactly
on the site of it's predecessor, and
pushes the needle through one eye,
aud carefully draws the thread after,
leaving about three inches OF it stick
ing up for the lee way. He says to
himself; "Well, if women don't
have the easiest time l ever sec."
Then he comes back the other way,
and gets the needle through the cloth
we'll enough, and lays himself out to
find the eye, but in spite Of a great
deal OF patient jobbing, the needle
point persists in bucking against the
solid part Of the button, and finally,
when he loses patience, his finger
catches the thread and that three
inches he had left to hold the button
slips through the eye in twinkling,
and the button rolls leisnreiy across
the floor. He picks it up without a
single remark, out of respect for his
children, and makes another attempt
to f;ssten it. This time, when coming
back with the needle. he. keeps both
the thread and button from slipping
by covering them with his thumb, and
it is out of regard for that part of him
that he feels around for the eye in a
very careful and judicious manner,
but eventually losing his philosophy
rs the search becomes more and mete
hopeless, he falls to jobbing about in
a loose and savage manner, and it is
just then the needle finds the opening,
and comes up through the button aud
part way through bis thumb with q
celerity that no human ingenuity can
guard against. Then he lays down
the things, with a few familiar quota
tions, and presses the hand between
his knees, and then holds it under the
other arm, and finally jams it into
his mouth, and all the while he pran-
ccs about the floor and calls upon
heaven and earth to witness that
there has never been any thing like
it since the world was created, and
howis, and whistles, and means, and
sobs. After awhile he calms down,
and puts on his pants and fstens
them together with stick, and goes
to his business changed man."
