Habits of Black Bass.

A writer in the Germantown Icle-
graph communicates some interesting
facts in regard to the breeding habits
of the black bass. as observed by him
in the Delaware River and elsewhere.
He remarks that rs the time for spawn
ing draws near, the male and female
come together i'll pairs, each pair having
a separate spawning ground. A gravel
bottom is usually selected which is free
from sticks and stones, which is cleared
for space of about two feet in diam
eter, readily recognized ly its clean,
regular appearance. Wien the eggs
are deposited and impregnated by the
male, both watch with great assiduity
over the bed, driving off every intru Ter.
When the eggs are Matched, the entire
family moves away, the parents attend
ing upon their young until able to take
care of themselves, when they drop
away one by one. The writer remarks
that he has seen bass an inch and a
half long with fish three-fourths OF an
inch long in its mouth. Their growth
is very rapid, being rs much as from
two to four inches in month. The au-
thor having watched some In q stream
recently stocked with them, was able to
their increase in size from
week to week. They reached the length
Of five or six j.lches by autumn.

Have they brought prisoners and
captured horses ? and are their own
numbers unbroken, or do their losses
exceed their gains ? These and 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. If the latter have
been successful and have suffered no
loss, they become the recipients of all
the triumph which Il 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
n sound joins in the general rejoicing,
and for time the entire population is
wild with excitement. If, 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. The
party is met as before byal the inhabi-
tants of the village, but in a widely diff
ferent manner; instead of the shouts and
songs of victory which greet the sue
cessful warriors, only the screams and
walls of an afflicted people are to be

the mourners and friends of the fallen
warriors besmear their faces, while

This of course is done without the

performed by taking knife, often of

through the flesh and first joint of the
little finger, leaving no CLAP of flesh

The Rights of Pre.EmptOrs.

An erroneous impression is pre'aIent8
in some parts of the United States that's
under the late rulings of the Interior
Department all inchoate pre-emption
rights are assignable. This is serious
error. Careful inquiry shows that the
rulings and practice of the Department
are as follows /: In accordance with the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the case of Myers agt. Croft,
it is held that in cases where no inht6i-
ton or ASSIGNMENT is contained in
statute giving special pre-emption
rights. (such as the act of July %, 1866,
authorizing pre-emption entries by bon
ua fide purchasers under rejected Mex
lean grants the right of pre-. emption ts
assipnable or inheritable. But IN cases
arisiug under the general pre- emption
law. which docs contain such an inhibi-
ton, no right of assignment exists OF
can be recognized prior to entry. 1t is
desirable, however, that the public
should understand (what seems to be
little known) that the practice Of the
Department under Commissioner Will
son and his predecessors had been mod
ified in very important particular,
so as to now hold that after
an entry has been perfected under the
general pre-emption laws, the duplicate
receipt may be assigned, aud q patent
will be issued to the assignee.

The Exchange was in n corner
building across n street which came in
at right angles to the sidewalk where
they were standing. Montana went in
mt the front door but came out at the
side on the cross street, hoping to steal
up and get the drop on Tom; but this
was not so easy. Tom was wide awake;
he had crossed the main street to guard
against surprise; so, when Montana
poked his pistol around the corner and
followed it with just enough of his head
to take sight, Carbery was not in range.
In moment their eyes met, and the
shooting began. Tom curled down close

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 DIR. Reeves. of
Va. The condition of bad health, he
says, requires no description to make
known its signs. 1t pervades all class.
es, rich and poor, high and low, the
educated and ignorant alike; it exists
ns the opposite OF good health. The
functions of the body to be maintained
i'll health depend upon proper oh.
servance 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 tIeir proper treatment
The skin should ce clothed that it may
be protected from cold. The mind
, should be occupied with virtuous and
elevating aspiratil ms that it may enjoy
the peaceful srrsi.-of 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 menta. is almost as old as the hui
man family. Many of the deformites
and infrmities come from injudcious
dress. In their extreme anxiety TO
give delicacv to their daughters,
mothers often adopt the very means
most likely to defeat the very object
for which they strive. They shut them
mp in the house day after day the
consequence of this unnatural restric-
tion is the foundation Of feeble con-
stitution. There is no reason that girls
should not have the same freedom as
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 out as "the smartest"
in the school. Their parents delight
in their proficiency, procured at the
cost Of their physical nature. Such in
huences may produce prodigies of learn
ing, but they will not produce pure
minded, healthy wives and mothers.
The undue development of any organ
shslld be the signal for abstaining
from an excessive use of it. In knowl-
edge of the principles of physical and
mental culture We are greatly inferior
to the ancient Greeks and Romans. The
system of cramming the 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 IA
tigue were not deemed incompatible
with graceful carriage as in the nine
teenth century. The fashionable board
ing-schools for young ladies are an evil
Uuless previously well trained by a
sensible mother, it is a sad misfortune
for young girl to be sent to such Il
school. Tight lacing is another fruitful
source of mischief. The drawing of
t. corsets tightly over the abdomen
produces disorder and suffering with

4 Permanent Paste.

The following process will, it is said,
afford an unusually adhesive paste,
adapted to fastening leather, paper, &c.
without the defects of glue which, if
preserved from evaporation in closed
bottles, will keep for years. Cover 4
parts, by weight, of glue, with Is parts
of cold water, and allow it to soak for
several hours then warm moderately
till the solution is perfectly clear, and
dilute it with 65 parts of boiling water,
intimately stirred in. Next prepare
/ olution of 80 parts of starch in 200
parts of cold water, so as to form a thin,
lqnid, free from Jumps,
and pour the boiling glue solution into
it with thorough stirring, and at the
same time keeping the mass boiling.

An AdrOlt Fraud.

Some Line years ago, Solomon Bacon,
a wel(-known merchant in London, re-
ceived letter from his correspondent
in Hamburg, which grieved and tlou-
bled him. 1t stated that the writer had
been defrauded by his nephew, son of
a widowed sister, of 100000, and had
fled to London with the money. The.
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. Should he do so, you may give
him f500." The London merchant
found the young German, took him
home, and when the ladies had with
drawn from the 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 ?" he asked.
az + you return me the money
now ana here.
"But / lost Il, 900 last night at
Crockfords, and have not the power.

me then $4,000, and though / little
exceed my instructions, will neverthe-
less give you back $500"
"My uncle is very good" remarked
the young man, and he forthwith
handed from his pocketbook nine .f1 900
notes to his host.
II cannot change one of these" said
Mr.. Bacon twill not my check do as
well ?"
"Quite," replied the German ; and
having received the $500 check, hastily
left.
The following morning Mr.. Bacon
went to his banker to pay in the notes, |
and found to his surprise that they
were all counterfeits. His next inquiry |
was after his check, but that was al.
ready cashed. He then telegraphed to |
his Hamburg correspondent, and learned !
that he was profoundly ignorant about
The whole affair. 1t was as adroit
fraud as was ever plotted.

Laughter as 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
We're SO low that watchers were needed
every eight and it was thought doubt
full if 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. The man with
the mumps lay watching the clock, and
saw that it was time to give the fever
patient his potion. He was unable to
speak aloud, or to move any portion of
has body, except his arms, but seizing
pillow, he managed to strike the watch
er 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. The incident struck
the sick men as very ludicrous, and
they laughed heartily at ii for some
fifteen or twenty minutes. When the
doctor came in the morning, he found
MS patients vastly improved salu ne
never knew so sudden turn for the
better and now both are mp and we'll.
Who says laughter is not the best of
medicines ?
And this reminds the writer of an
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.

with the dying man, and then went
away weeping. Last of all came pet

away also with his hands over its eyes.
It was so ludicrous sight that the
patient was forced to laugh, and laugh
I'd Sc heartily that the ulcer broke,

New Suns.

Some interesting observations have
recently been made in regard to the
colored stars about Kappa Gucjs. Mr..
II. G. Russell, of the Sydney Observa-
tory. sends to Nature IN 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 Nebular theory, by
careful examinations of the phenomena
developed in the direction of this beau
tiful cluster of stars.
Mr.. Russell holds that it is beyond
all question that from some cause, there
has, as in the direction of Eta Argus,
been recently developed considerable
increase of brilliancy about Kappa
GuciS; also, that there has been not
only there, but in other directions in
the heavens, n sensible amount of
clearing up within the last twenty
five 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 nebubsty, without form and
void, to the finished sun, whatever that
may be.
1t is in this view, Mr.. Russell thinks,
we may find rational explanation of
the appearance of new stars in and
about the Kappa Crucis. But, wheth-
er we admit this or not, one thing is
certain; We are not yet prepared to say,
with certainty. that such changes are
not going on in space, as will suffice for
a full explanation of the undoubted APP
pearance of the small new stars above
alluded to, if not of the greater changes
about Eta Argus. .--,ScieQtfc Press.
