Cnptnln Jncls,s Enrly El,c.

Mrs. Joseph Knott. an old lady
living in Portland, Oregon, gives m
interesting account Of the carly life
of the modoc chief.ain. She says
that while livingat Canonville, Doug
lass county, in 1851, an Indian boy
came to her house and asked in the
jargon Of the Indians that he might
live there. He was active, keen and
shrewd; he lived with the family
several years, and at his own request
was chlistened Jack, after the eldest
son Mrs Knott Jack was the con
slant companion of his nomesake in
these times, and they often spent
whole days together hunting On
one occasion, after he had been with
them some time, he became offended
and attempted to kill one of tho fam
lily, Levi Knott, but failed. This
circumstance led to his expulsion
from the family, and from that time
until now he has not been seen by
them, except in 1856, the year in
which he murdered Mrs. Harris.
His mother was sister to Rogue
River John, who attempted to seize
the steamer Columbia, while she lay
at anchor in the harbor of Crescent
City, and a half sister to tho war
chief Sam, of the same tribe, and
Chief Joo who received his appella'
tion from, having fought Gen. Joo
Lane.

4 Coon JuKE.-Oid Gov. l.,
of Vermont, was one of the most ln-
vetarate ioicrs Of the early times, in
which he figured. An anecdote is
told Of him which has never been
related in print, and never can DO
perhaps, with much effect but W.
vii! try it.
Que fall, as he was returning from
the Legislature, on horseback, as
usual at that day he VIZ. hailed from
"a house by gurrrlous old maid,
who had often annoyed him with
questions respecting public affairs.
We'll, governor said sac, coming
out towards the road, "what new
laws have you passed ~ Montpelier,
This t,ple ?'
"We,l, one rather singular one
among the rest he replied.
"Dew tell! Now what is it, gov
ernor asked the excited queriSt.
why, that the woman in each
town WHO has the smallest mouth
shall be warreuted u husband"
"Whoy, whot." said she, dlawing
her mouth To the smalIes compass,
"whot a queer, curious lor that is.
"Ycs, but We have passed another
that beats that; the women that has tie
largest mouth is TO have two hus-
bands
"Why, wharf" exclaimed the cd
maid, Instantly relaxing her mou h,
aud stretching it wider at every syl-
liable, "what u remarkable law that is ;
when does i, come in force, governor 7"
At this, tho governor put spurs TO
his horse, and vanished.

THE Science Of Health.
Volume 2, Commencing January, 1873.

The ECONOMY OF HEALTH.-Only those who
have investigated the subject can be aware of
the enormous waste caused by sickness and I'M
hygienic living. By adopting the Hygienic
system: the people of the United States would

giant? Statistics more than Justify it, as we
shall prove.
THE LABOR PROBLEM Correct habits of liv-
ing will ensure the laborer Health and Strength,
enable him to save from his earnings, and be-
come pecuniarily independent.
HEALTH IS HAPPINESS. all monetary
considerations, however, is that of sound

Potash For PEACH TREEs.-At the
meeting Of the Horticultural Society, Mr..
Shepard alluded to potash as a most ex-
eellent fertilizer for peach trees. He had
a peach orchard of about twenty five acres;
the soil was poor and MANFRED with pot
ash only. One barrel, costing $35, or fif
teen cents pound, lasted him, four years.
He dissolved it in water, SO that the lye
would be so weak that a potato put in it
would not quite come to the surface, and
then applied. two quarts Of this liquid
close around the trunk every spring.
From 1000 peach trees he had sold during
the past five years $12,O 900 worth of peach
es. His crop had been in 1867, 500 bush
els, in 1852, $50 bushels; in 1860, 1, 400
bushels; in 1870; $50 bushels; and last
year LOO bushels. He had also good
prospect for crop this year, the buds be-
ing nearly all perfect.
