The Family Pill Box,

The surfeiting we all undergo during this season of fruit brings into action the family pill-box. 1t is little singu- lar how much hunting has to be done to find that box. The party who last needed it's services doesn't remember where he left it, and doesn't care to think of it at all, while he whose turn now occurs isn't exactly tortured to death by anxiety. We are not quite sure but that there is a faint hope down somewhere in his breast that it may not be found at all. He feels Jumps for1n- ing in his throat as he peers among the bottles and boxes which constitute the pharmacy at his house, and when the box finally appears, and he feels it in his hand, there is sensation at the pit of his stomach as if somebody was try ing to turn that organ over with an old brass candlestick. Some people swal- low dose of pills without qualm and afterwards go around looking as proud and overbearing as boy whose father plays in band, but the most of us are more delicately constituted, and count ing out dose of pills while some one else gets the water, and observes that he doesn't see how anyone can swallow the awful things, is about as serious an undertaking as can be found on record. There is something too awfully solemn about it to describe. And it is a little singular that while man can swallow whole whortleberries, cherry pits, and even buckshot, without any uneasiness at all, yet single pill will catch in his throat, at a particularly ticklish spot, and hang there for hours, and make faces at his stomach. And man in a fix like that is not exactly the party we would select to concoct notices for festival.

BADLY TREATED. man in San Francisco recently was so unfortunate as to be robbed-of $15. With the old fashioned idea in his mind that the police and the Courts are ordained for the purpose of enforcing justice, he complained of the theft. Whether he recovered any portion of his money, or whether the thief was detected or punished, we do not know but we do know that the poor fellow who made the complaint has just been released after seventy eight days confinement, having been locked up as 6 witness ali that time,

A BOSTON STORY. South End gossips about the story of a lady who recently returned from Europe. Two years ago she married Boston physician and bestowed upon him fortune of $2O, 900, with which the couple took up their residence on the Continent. The hus- band has deserted his wife, it is said, and squandered her fortune for the benefit of titled foreigner, in conse- quence of which she has returned to her relatives in 8 town on the line of the B. and A. R. R. The parties are all very we'll connected, and the mar rative excites great surprise and con- ment

The rapidly growing Order, the Patrons of
Husbandry, VIII soon be called upon to decide
upon the admission Of colored men and women,
either as members of oranges composed of whites
or as forming colored oranges Of their own, and
in either case it is apprehended that trouble
will be the result. The constitution and bylaws
OF the Order say nothing about color, and state
that any person, male or female, of certain ages,
and of good character, may become members.
Now the color question comes up in Arkansas,
and the Grand Master Of the Missouri State
Grange proposes to bridge over the ehasm by
organizing separate Oranges for the freedmen.
Whether this arrangement win suit the latter
or not or whether the whites of Arkansas will
relish the idea of the admission of colored men
to the Order under any circumstances remains
to be seen.

1t is pity that al Of our Indian fncum-
brsnces could not be brought under the same
civilizing influences az the Sissitons, of Dseotah
recently visited by the Secretary of the In
terror and the Indian Commissioner. The In
dians on this reservation, according to the
report of the commissioner, seem to have for
gotten their old vagabondish habits and live the
same as the white, cultivating farms, sending
their children TO school, Sc. In the case of
these Indians the government takes q different
course from that purs aed with other tribes In
the main the Indian tribes receive government
gratuities on the simple conditions that they
remain on their reservations and keep the
peace. This is the only qsid pro quo which the
government demands In return for the distri-
button Of annunities, except in the case Of the
Sissitons and one or two other tribes, the mem
bers OF which are required to render full
equivalent in the shape of actual labor. They
receive nothing either In money or goods unless
they pay for them in work satisfactorily
performed. Thus far the system has worked
admirably and with the gratifying re-
suit already indicated, and the idea
naturally suggests itself, why not employ
the same system in other tribes, especially in
case of those who live in states and territories
where their labor can be made of some service
to the government. Even If their labor were
confined to their own reservations and took the
form Of cultivating the soil, building civilized
habitations, &C., the government could richly
afford to pay them for their work. There are
many cases OF course where this system would
not work well, and where the savages would
much prefer fighting to working, but it might
be gradually introduced where practicable, and
could not fail to insure the most salutary result,
in the way Of ciyihzing at least portion Of the
Indians

Necessity is the mother of the invention of a
new beverage in Massachusetts,, and the name
OF II Is Schenck beer. We mention this thai
Washington beer drinkers who visit Boston may
know what to inquire for. IL is said to be sus-
piciously like what we call lager in this region,
but there must be some difference, because on
the trial of the beer dealers before the superior
court in Worcester, concluded on Tuesday, the
defence offered was that the beer sold was
schenck beer, and not lager beer, and that il
was not intoxicating. The jury was out six
hours, but failed to agree, six being for convic-
uon and SIX for acquittal. After the jury bad
reported, the court adjourned sine die. The
result Is considered as a victory for the beer
drinkers, and the other cases of the same kind
win probably be dropped by the state govern
ment.

A number Of colored men in Baltimore, dis
satisfied because they have not obtained what
they call their share'' of the Offices. held
mass meeting last night, at which two of the
speakers (colored) delivered long harangues
against the republican party of Maryland
Their effort was not very successful in making
converts among their colored hearers, According
to the report Of the meeting in the Baltimore
Son, referred to in our news columns. This
shows that the mass Of the colored people are
TOO sensible to stultify themselves by setting up
distinctions on account of color. The moment
black man is appointed to An official position
because he Is a black man, and for no other
reason, such distinction is made, and then every
other class Of republican voters can claim equal
recognition. This is all wrong. The man most
fitted for Office should be appointed, whether
black, white, brown or red-whether an adopted
or native citizen. Those who advocate any
other doctrine are not only the enemies of a
broad and liberal republicanism-notu using the
word In party sense-but of the human
progress which it represents.

The Cumberland NeDs Of the 18th inst, notes
the fact that there were at that date in the
canal on their way to Georgetown three hun
dred and ninety-seven boats, carrying a, 43o
tons and eco weight Of coal. This, the Nsws
links, is unprecedented in the history of the
canal. Were it not for the continually recur-
ring accidents to the canal more than q million
tons Of coal could be forwarded to Georgetown
in q single season. There is probably no water
line of transportation In the world so frequently
rendered unavailable as the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal, and this TACT must be attributable
to bad management on the part Of the canal
company. The millers suffer from want of wa
ter, the coal companies from the periodical sus-
pension Of navigation, and the canal company
lose thousands Of dollars yearly in tolls,
which they might collect If they would only
keep their line in good order. If the canal
cannot be kept in navigable order let 1t be filed
up and a railroad built in Its stead. 1t would
pay in the emo.

Following the example Of the Shah of Per-

Europe ostensibly for the benefit of his health.
1t will be remembered that he was recently
forced to sign a treaty with England abolishing
slavery, and it is thought his visit to England
where he goes first, is really to sedire a modifi-
cation of the terms of the treaty. The British

How to Utilize the Corn Crop

A writer IN the New York Tribune
urges upon the Eastern farmers tho
advantage Of buying largely Of Yves
tern corn now, while it 10 90 abun-
dant and cheap, and feeding 1t to
= ock during the next season or two;
and he shows conclnslvely that tax
ing ono year with another, in the his
tory OF the corn crop, this can be
done with certain profit. We most
certainly recommend Eastern farm
ers to take his advice, tor 1t will b.
some years, we fancy, before they
will buy Western corn as cheaply as
they can buy it this season.
But, II it will pay to take this corn
into New York and New England
End stow it away in farmers cribs,
to 10 fed ont in the future, when
worth more money shan now, the
question arises, why will it not pay
the Western farmer to crib it on his
farm tor future use or future sale p
We balioys It will. Every bushel OF
corn is worth, at least, halt . dollar
per bushsl upon the ground where
it Is grown; but tbs yield in excep-
tional seasons Is 80 great that thsi Q
are occasionally times when it will
not bring that price. We know Of
it, having been Sd abundant, once
before, that IL was worth but 10
