WASHINGTON CITY BONDS. The four hun
dred thousand dollars Of city bonds issued un-
der Mayor Emory Administrations and which
matur'd on the LIST instant, have NOT all been
pal, and compIal9tS are becoming frequent
at the delay. The policy appears to have been
to pay oil the banks and capitalists who hold
considerable amounts, or who might untavor-
ably affrct the public credit if refused. while
small holders are compelled to wait Only yes
terday holder of $50 bond was told that
he must wait until 1t could be cxalnlned much
larger amounts having been previously paid to
the same individual.
The holders have been offered the face of
their bonds in the new certificates of Indebted,
ness, which the local Legislature late y gave the
board of public works authority to issue, but
as might be expected they are invariably de-
clined, being worth not over ninety I'VE cents
on the dollar, and not 81 available as collateral
with the city banks 1t is understood, how
ever, that the banks have come to the AID OF
the city, and that holders will lose nothing
more than the time, which, OF course. Is an
item OF consideration in some cases. The loan
now being paid off is the first which has ma

party. Still, horrible as was the scene,
no one thought Of leaving the spot.
An irresistible fascination to see il out
bound one and all alike to the blood
stained locality. But the fanaIe was
at hand-the curtain almost ready to
drop.
McCluskey, summoning BY a su-
preme effort his remaining strength.
drew his knife and began to crawl
feebly in the direction of his antago-
mist The latter, who had raised him
self to a sitting posture, saw the move
ment and prepared to meet it. Both
had dropped their revolvers, leaving
to the cold steel the completion of the
work.
By this time ithad grown quite dark,
and to distinguish the movements ofthe
combatants required to the closest at
tention. Anderson was clearly unable
move any portion of his body save his
right arm. With this he raised his
KNIFE aloft, and as McCluskey crawled
up to within reach, dealt him a terri
bic blow in the neck, cutting muscles,
tendons and veins, and half severing
the head from the body. But the eff
fort was too much for him, and leav-
ing the weapon sticking in the wound,
he pitched heavily forward on his
face. Every one supposed that this
blow would have instantly killed Me-
Cluskey, but STANCE to say, it did not,
but so great was his vitality that before
falling, he twice plunged his own knife
into the body Of Anderson. The tale
is soon told. McCluskey lived min
ute longer than his antagonist The
dead bodies. firmly locked in each
others embrace, were taken to the
house of Harding and laid out side by
side on the gaming table. A crimson
trail marked the path of those who
carried them indoors, and pools of
blood indicated the scene of the late
conflict.
There was no gaming that night.
The hunters and Indians appeared to
find excitement enough in talking
over the events of the day without
having to resort to the usual pastime.
About IL o'clock the moon rose, and
he bodies were taken out FOR burial.
There were no funeral ceremonies, but
Job Harding remarked as the muffied

There go two as brave men as ever

The Rev. Sidney Smith, preaching
a charity sermon, frequently repeated
the assertion that of all nations, Eng
lishmen were most distinguished for
generosity and the love of their species.
The collection happened to be inferior
to his expectations, and he said he had
evidently made a great mistake, for
that his expression should have been,
that they were distinguished for the
love Of their specie.

There is nothing new in religion
Whatever is new is false. Let no man,
on peril of his soul, trifle with these
venerable truths by vain speculations.
They are guarded against innovations
and novelties by all the infinite per-
fections of God, and death awaits him
who spends his time in nothing else
7 than in hearing or telling some new
thing about religion. WO be unto
him who would burn strange fire on
hallowed altars, or who would stretch
forth an unknown hand to stay the
falling ark of God,
But there is sense in which the
| truths of religion are always new
They themselves retain their age; but
we are brought into new relations to
them, and they become as fresh to US
as if they were but the recent reyela-
tions of God. He that is in Christ is
a new creature: old things have pas
sed away, and, behold, all things have
become new. Transformed into the
divine image, he is new creature,
and is surrounded BY new creation ;
and the deformed has become beauti-
/ full, and the repulsive precious objects
of affection. His thoughts and feel
ings are all changed, and his soul re-
joices iu the raptures of hitherto
unknown life. These ancient truths,
as if they were the constant creations
of boundless mercy, are to him per-
petual source of renewed pleasures
To him they are fountains Of perennial
/ lows. ever sending forth the rich cur
rents of salvation from the depths of
infinite love. They have the aroma OF
are, but the bloom of youth and are
ever fresh and fragrant as flowers wet
with the dew of the morning. They
are as near and dear to us to-day. as
they were the hour we first tested that
the Lord was gracious.

Milk, Tea and Coffee.

Prof. Loomis thus speaks of milk, tea and coffee
 {" Milk contains in solution not only 8 due proportion of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, but all the other clements necessary for the construction of bone, nerve, &c., and hence Is always proper food in all circumstances of health.
 "Tea derives.its beneficial qualities not from it's direct supply of nutrition, but from it's aftording a peculiar sub stance called theme, the effect of which in the system is to diminish the waste, thus making less food necessary. Tea thus has positive economic value, not as supplying but a saving nutriment
 |" Coffee, though of taste so little allied to tea, derives its value in pre- cisely the same manner and from nearly the same substances. Its value and effect in the systom are therefore the same as the above stated. It is hence evident that milk, tea and coffee are valuable articles of food under all con ditions of temperature.
 Yet it must be generally conceded that free coffee-drinker will almost invaribly complain of biliousness' and have cadaverous appearance. For work people, coffee will seldom produce this effect; but for all persons of seden- tary habits who take little exercise, coffee is not to be recommended. Tea as substitute is greatly to be pre- ferred, as it is equally refreshing and strengthening and produces no bad offaots

Origin of a Plague Epidemic.

The plague that for the last two years has been raging in Persian Kurdistan had it's origin, according to the report of commission sent to ascertain the nature and source of the disease, in the opening of some old caves, which forty years ago served as burial places for the victims of former epidemic. The first appearance of the pestilence was at a village situated some 5000 feet above the level of the Black sea, and contain ing in all about 15O families 130 per sons were attacked, of whom 100 died. "The village" says the London IEnees, like all other Kurdish villages, was abundantly filthy within, but it was we'll supplied with pure water from the hills, and the houses stood apart from each other, freely exposed to the sun and wind. The history of the mode of seizure of the two persons who had been earliest attacked with plague one of whom lived to tell his own story was obtained by the commission. There could be no suspicion of conta- zion brought from elsewhere, as plague was not known to exist either in Asia Minor or in Persia in the summer or autumn of 1870. One of the persons
 
 after he had been engaged in the work of excavating a cavern for harboring sheep among the hills near the village. While thus engaged he had disinterred Q quantity of human bones. The other person had also been attacked soon af- ter removing some human bones which he had found in neighboring cavern in which iocks were sheltered. Now, the commission ascertained that the places in which the bones had been found were the spots where the dead who had died from an attack of plague which had depopulated some of the villages oi the district forty years before had been buried. During 1S29--'32 it is well known that plague was widely dissemi
 mated in northwestern Persia, Asia Minor, and Arabia. The recent out
 break in Persian Kurdistan, in short
 followed almost immediately upon the opening of the two old plague-pits, and the commission believes that to this opening the outbreak owed its origin.

The Price of Success.

It is no longer possible to know every thing. A universal scholar will be no more seen among men. The range of human knowledge has increased so vastly, has swept out and away so far and so fast, that no brain, be it's qnanti- ty or quality what it may, can, in the years commonly given to man, even survey the field. A man, therefore, must make up his mind, if he propose to learn anything, to be content with profound ignorance of great many other things. It is bitter thing, per haps, but it is fact, that man who would know anything in this century must purchase his knowledge with vol untary and chosen ignorance of 8 hun dred other things. One must choose his speciality, and devotion and dili- gence in that is the price he pays for success. It is with doing as it is with knowing. There is only a certain amount of work in any case. He can not do everything. Nevertheless, every thing needs doing. All about him is undone work clamoring for hands. There are two courses before one. To undertake everything, to fret and grieve because one finds this and that undone, and to make spasmodic efforts to do it this is the way of failure. Resolute- ly to make up ones mind to let, as far as he is concerned, the most that should be done stay undone still; to steel one's heart against demands and necessities, to resist all inducements to put forth a single offort, to close one's eyes to it all, and to stick heart, hand, life, and love to the thing man undertakes and calls his own-that is the way of success. Life is very short, and the single brain and hand, at best, very weak, and there are thousands of things to know and to do. One must choose, and be content with his choice. And so it comes to pass that now, at last, the measure of 8 mans learning will be the amount of his voluntary ignorance, the measure of his practical effectiveness the amount what he is content to leave unattemp- tad

Graining or Initiating Wood.

According to patent recently issued to MT. John Johnston of New York, graining, or initiating wood, may be accomplished in the following manner {:
 A glass plate, preferably thick even plate, has wrought upon 1t with 0 pencil or brush, with asphaltum, wax, grease or fatty substances, such figures and confgurations as shall form the design seen on the surface of planed wood. The glass is then etched by the use of hydrohuoric acid. When the etching is sufficiently deep the plate is cleaned with spirits of turpentine, and the whole surface is spread over evenly, with oil graining color. The plate is then scraped with scraper of soft wood, which, drawn over the surface of the plate, leaves the color only, on the etched spots. A printers roller of the proper circumference and width is then passed over the whole surface of the prepared plate, by which the design is transferred to the roller. Then this roller is rolled over the surface of the wood to be grain. ed. It is claimed that this method is equally applicable to metal, paper, or any substance or composition, and that any desired number of impressions can be taken quicker, cheaper, and more readily even by inexperienced hands, and that, therefore, the skill of the ex- perienced grainer can be expended on series of plates, without requiring his time or services in copying, thus mak- ing the process cheap, rapid and perfect. In adapting the process to printing on paper, the plates are etched out in the places not desired to be transferred. The plate is then mounted on the wood and is printed from it in the ordinary manner.
