/; CLIMATE FOR INvALIDs.-A letter IN
the New York ''Tribune" from Matthews
Court House, Va, says:
''Coming here three years ago paralyt-
ic sufferer, and being in better health now
than for twenty years past, I can safely
speak of the superiority and efficacy OF the
climate for all those whose ailments re-
quire prolonged absence from the North.
For consumption, rheumatism, and, l may
say, nearly every form of disease, the eli
mate is most favorable, being neither Sc
yerely cold nor intensely hot. Death from
consumption is very rare. An old physl-
clan told me that out Of a population of
5000 there had been but three deaths from
that disease in twenty years. Some thirty
years ago few persons came here supposed
to be in the last stages of it, but they are
now living to testify to the genial climate.
Since the war about forty Northern faml-
lies have moved into the county for the
benefit of the climate, and have yet to
learn that any are dissatisfied. Matthews
county borders on Chesapeake Bay, and
southeasterly winds prevail nearly three
fourths of the year. Almost every after
noon during the summer fine breeze blows
from that direction. At present, unfortu-
nately, invalids, could find no good board
ing accommodations, so that fully to enjoy
the climate or reap its advantages, one
should have a home Of ones own"

Indian ElOquence.

The Pail Mall Gazette doubts if one OF
Mr.. joaquin Miller's Indian acquaintance
gave utterance to such inflated rhetoric
as ssThe whites were as strong as the ocean,
the red men like sand, helpless, silent, run
upon, and swallowed mp" But this sort
of grandiloquence is familiar to Americans
who have lived on the frontier of an Indi-
an country. When the lawyers puzzled
Red Jacket about intricate questions OF
law in relation to land claims, he walked
out in front of the Judge, and with piece
of chalk drew two concentrated circles on
the floor of the Court House. Passing his
walking club slowly around the outer cir
Gle, he said: s'Within that bound is the
white mans knowledge" and then desert
bling the smaller one, he said, sWithln
that bound is the Indians knowledge"
and resting moment on his club, he
wound up his argument by saying, land
beyond those two bounds the Indian knows
as much as the white man.
Indian morality is often of a strange or
der. A certain officer of United States
dragons was robbed and murdered many
years ago by the Potawatamies. A trial
at civil tribunal failed to bring the Of
tenders to justice, though every circum-
stance pointed to their chief, Dowagiac, as
the principal offender. At last bright
young lawyer hit on a stratagem to get at
the truth Of the matter. Dowagiac was
sitting gazing at the judge, counsel, and
jury, by turns, in the most stolid manner,
when Mr.. W., of Detroit, sprang in an ex-
cited manner up to the chief, and asked in
a loud imperative voice, "Dowagiac, did
you kill Capt. Jefferson ?'' eyes, said
the Indian sole1nnly, s'Dowagiac did kill
Capt. Jefferson, but Dowagiac eoom't he. /"
Indians can brag too. Tipsy old Big
Kettle, in the streets of Buffalo, once de-
fed the rabble in this way ''Me's great
fighter; mes big Indian Lake Erie my
farm, big Buffalo creek. my father, Gen.
Porter my aunt! White man can't fight
Big Kettle; too much sqasaeo; too much
dorsent"

matter can't be let drop, for there's hum

peared on the instant, and he said:
tsStranger, / amt much in the habit OF
runnin, and if we're to fight, we may as
well have it out now as any time. Are
you heeled ?"
Tom asked this question because we have
law against carrying concealed weapons,
which is regarded at such hours as people
think they will have no use for their arms,
and disregarded tall others.

giles to the sidewalk where they were stan
ding. Montana went in at 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 50 easy. Tom was
wide-awake-he had crossed the mair
street to guard against surprise; so when
Montana poked his pistol round the cor
ner, and followed it with just enough OF his
head to take sight, Carberry was not in
range.
In a moment their eyes met, and the
shooting began. Tom curled down close
to the road-bed, to present the smallest
possible area as a mark, and because it is
comparatively difficult to hit an object ly-
ing on the ground. Montana sheltered
himself somewhat behind low row OF
sacks Of potatoes lying on the edge OF the
sidewalk, and partly behind small avn
ing-post. The last was a fatal error, for
with tall post for mark it is the easiest
thing in the world to make a line shot.
am making long story of the shoot
ing, which in reality was very soon over.
They fired three shots apiece in as many
seconds. TOMS third ball passed through
Montanas heart, and he was dead before
his head rebounded on the brick pavement.
Carberry surrendered himself at once, and
was kept in jail until his trial came off, al
though bail to any amount was offered.
After pause the Judge added: II don't
see how I could have done more for him
than I did; but the man should not have
been punished should have been &C
Quilted and he would have been but for
one circumstance, which prejudiced the
court against him.
''What was the circumstance SO prejudi-
cial ?'' questioned the listener.
ssThe Montana chap was the fourth man
Tom had killed in Austin," answered the
Judge, innocently.

The Rose that BkOOmed Eighteen
Years i'm a Baby's Coffin.

The Cynthiana (Ky.) Democrat gives
the following account of a strange circum-
stance occurring in that vicinity:
Mr.. William Whitehead, who resided
near Claysville, in this county, died in
June, 1870. Early in that year he made a
will and bequeathed the munificent sum of
two thousand eight hundred dollars for the
purpose of moving the bodies of the de-
ceased members of his family, and to i'm
prove the grounds, to one burying ground
hear the mouth of Beaver creek, in this
county. The executor, Mr.. N. R. White
head, proceeded to discharge the duties by
employing Mr.. John B. Hamilton to re-
move them, improve the grounds, and erect
head and footstones at their graves.
Among those to be removed was a child
of Dr.. Will Curran, of Claysville. On
Monday week, the 10th inst, Mr.. H. dis
inferred the child, who was buried in a
metallic case, on the 9Th day of July, 1855,
in the Whitehead burying-ground in Clays-
vile, and being unable to remove the
screws in the face-plate Of the case, was
COulp6llEu w SdW IL JILL OPOh AOAAAoNAAA5
the face-plate sight was revealed that
struck them dumb with astonishment.-
misleading Of finding, as they expected, a
few bones as the remains Of their house
hold pet, that had been buried eighteen
years and four months, they beheld, as it
were, sleeping infant. The child looked
as natural as life, and was in a perfect
state of preservation, with the exception
of the nose, which was gone. The doctor
being present, Immediately carried it to
his home, where, nineteen years ago, it was
the joy Of the household.
This was indeed great curiosity, and
many of the citizens of Claysville and vi
entity came to the DOCTORS Office, where
the body remained until Saturday, to see
it. On Saturday the doctor brought it
from Claysville to this city, and took it to
the residence Of Mrs. M. Shumate, where
hundreds of our citizens tlocked to see it.
But the strangest part is not told. The
child, which was two years old when it
died, was very fond of flowers, and more
especially of the damask rose, and when
taken by it's grandmother, with whom it
was great pet, it would 60 to this rose
bush.
When the child was dying it's grand
mother pulled two damask rose buds, not
yet bursted, gave them to the child and it
died with them in it's hand. After prepar-
ing the body for burial the rose buds were
placed upon it's breast and buried with it,
When the face plate was removed from the
case, and when brought to this city, the
roses were not only in a perfect state, but
the leaves were as green as ever, and in
stead of being buds, as they were when
placed upon the child's breast, had become
full-blown roses. This is the most remark
able case of preservation we have ever
heard of.

Indictment for misdemeanor, tried be-
| fore Russell, Judge at Robson Superior
Court, spring term, 1873.
| Defendant was indicted for disturbing a
religious congregation. The evidence, as
detailed by several witnesses, was substan-
italy this Defendant is a member of the
Methodist Church. He sings in such a
way as to disturb the congregation. At
the end of each verse his voice is heard af-
ter all the other singers have ceased.
One of the witnesses being requested to
describe defendants singing initiated it by
singing a verse in the voice and manner of
defendant, which produced burst of pro-
longed and irresistible laughter, convulsing
alike the spectators, the bar, the jury, and
| the court"
It was in evidence that the disturbance
occasioned by defendants singing was de-
cided and serious the effect of it was to
make one part of the congregation laugh
and the other mad that the irreligious
and frivolous enjoyed it as fun, while the
serious and devout were indignant.
1t was also in evidence without objec-
tion) that the congregation had been so
much disturbed by it that the preacher had
declined to sing the hymn, and shut up the
| book without singing it that the presid-
| ing elder had refused to preach in the
church on account of the disturbance &C.
casioned by it and that on one occasion
a leading member of the church, appreci-
ating that there was feeling of solemnity
pervading the congregation in consequence
| of the sermon just delivered, and fearing
that it would be turned into ridicule, went
| to the defendant and asked him not to sing,
and on that occasion he did not sing.
| It also appeared that on many occasions
the church members and authorities expos
tulated with the defendant about his sing
ing and the disturbance growing out of it.
To all Of which he replied: s'That he would
worship his God, and that as part of his
worship it was his duty to sing"
! Defendant is a strict member of the
church and man Of exemplary deport-
ment. Il
1t was not commended by the State upon
the evidence that he had any intention or
purpose to disturb the congregation, but,
on the contrary, it was admitted that he
was conscientiously taking part in the re-
ligious service.
There was verdict of guilty, judgment,
and an appeal by the defendant.

Nor fear its touch will soil thine own;

Since last you held it clasped so close,
And with it held my life and heart.
For my heart beat but in your smile,
And life was Death, we two apart.

have no word or thought Of blame
Z And even now my voice grows low
And tender, whispering your name.
You gagged my love by yours that's all.
I do not think you understood I;
There is point you men can't reach,
Up the white heights Of womanhood,
You love us-so at least you say,
With many tender smile and word
You kiss us close on mouth and brow,
Till all our heart within is stirred
And having, unlike you, you see,
No other interests at stake,
We give our best, and count that D cath

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
DVERTISING RATES

THE GREEN-HOUSE.-In Virginia, and
north of it, preparation should be made for
getting under glass all tender plants dur
ing the early part of the month, SO that
cold nights and early frosts do not inJure
them. Towards this end the first work to
be done is to examine the heating appara-
tus, whether flues or. hot water, so that all
may be got in good working order also
see thatEthe glazing is done, and the wall
inside and under the stage well washed
with hot lime. f& 44
We would not crowd the house all at
once, but rather move in first such plants
as are sensitive of cold, leaving such things
as Myrtles, Laurestines, Pittosporums,
Oleanders, g., g., out of doors for a few
weeks longer. In truth, these latter can
be wintered safely in deep cold pit.or dry
cellar. t5'l4 IS !s.tA ,ils'
After housing plants, a free admission of
air should be rendered them in mild wealth.
er. Choice specimens, that have grown In
the open air during tine summer, should be
taken up, potted, and placed in close,
shady place, for the first week OF ten days,
or until the roots take hold of the soil,
when they can be placed in position in the
conservatory or greenhouse. We would
suggest the propriety Of refraining from
the application of fire heat as long as pos
sible; rather aim to keep up the tempera-
ture by shutting in little solar heat by
so doing the plants will be more robust,
and pass the winter better. Nurserymen
and florists arein the habit of keeping up
high temperature, in order to secure masses
Of certain flowers in late fall and winter
months for the market, but we do not write
for the benefit of that class. aci
All such plants as Cineraries, Calceolar-. i
| las, Pansies an Chinese Primroses scceed
best when kept on shelves or tables, near
| to the glass and should any of these still
remain in the seed pan, they ought to be
potted off without delay. -
Gala Lilies will now be starting into
growth These should be overhauled, and
portion of them repotted and watered,
while the remainder may remain dormant,
| and be brought into action amonth OF two
later, so as to prolong their season of bloom
ing.
Hyacinths, Narcissus, Van Thol Tulips
and Corcus should now be potted in rich,
light earth, after which the pots should be
placed in a cellar, OF under the greenhouse
stage, until the pots are filled fibrous roots.
It is good plan to cover the filled with
pots over with fine earth OF sand, in order to
| facilitate the process of roofing. Hya-
cinths grown in glasses should be kept in
the shade until the rootlets are two to
three inches long, afterwards moving them
gradually to the light. Soft water is the
| best to use.
Azaleas and Camelias should be water
ed but sparingly during the fall and early
winter months, and if the latter have Sc
their buds in clusters, all should be rubbed
off to one bud /; by SO doing you will have
| finer flowers and better plants.

SALTING MEAT.-Nessler considers the
questions, what are the best proportions of
salt, sugar and saltpetre and is it better
to treat the meat with dry mixture of
the above substances, or to dissolve the
salts and the sugar in water, and to apply
this solution AS to the first point, he re-
commends mixture of pounds of COM
mon salts, 8 ounces of nitre, and pound
of sugar to every 100 pounds of meat; these
figures correspond very closely to the pro-
portions employed for sailing meat in
England. AS to the second, he is in favor
of using solution instead of the dry mix
ture, because this latter extracts from the
meat not only water, but also some of the
most nutritive constituents. On the other
hand, it must not be overlooked that salt
ing by means of brine requires special care
in order to insure thorough contact of all
the parts of the meat with the salt, and
also a longer time for subsequent dry
ing.
