came back to him, and he trembled with
the weight of suspense that fell upon
him.
Alice saw and understood. At first
the great flood almost overeane her, and
she was forced to rest and wipe her eyes
before she could proceed. And then she
showed her book-that she had more
than eight hundred dollars in the bank.
The ice was broken; she told her story
in glowing words. She told how she had
saved up little by little, and how she
had at length found hersolf able to pur-
chase fifty dollar bond. And then she
told how her uncle in the banking house
had taken charge of her investment !;
and how, under his management, the in
terest had accrued in amazing volume.
But the grand result was not the chief
thing. The chief thing was in the be-
ginning-was the first little which had
been religiously saved until the second
little could be added to it.
And now, as result of his wife's
careful and tireless working, Albert found
something upon which his ambition
could take a fair start. He never could
himself, from SO small commencement,
have reared the pile; but with the struc-
ture started and IFS proportions all
blocked out, be could see how it was
done-and not only that, but the dem
onstration was before him that the thing
could be done.
One year had elapsed since Albert
Moore had received the lesson from his
wife, and by joining hands With her and
bending his own energies in the same di-
rection, he had accomplished, in the
twelve months, what would have seemed
to him a marvel in the earlier time. He
had laid by more than fifty cents day ;
and the cigars, the beer, and the other
condiments of life which he had surren.
dered to the work, are not missed-rath-
er he holds them as so many enemies
conquered. And Albert can improve
his home with cheerful heart, and he.
can set out new trees and new vines in
his garden with bright promises, because
he sees, day by day, the pretty cottage
growing more and more his own. The
end approaches little at time-little
by little-but it approaches surely, new
ertheless; and there is great and salts
flying joy even In the labor and in the
anticipation.

Hydrophobia and the Imagination


The hypothesis which traces hydropho-
bia to animal virus finds no foundation
in analogy, and is consequently very
weak.
1t is therefore very natural that the
medical man should begin to study the
whole question anew, and attempt other
explanations of this disease. Thus, DIR.
T. III. luke, whose paper on the " Blanch-
ing of the Hair" appeared in our De-
cember number, has lately published a
work on the Influence of the Mind
upon the Body" and there supports the
proposition that hydrophobia is produced
solely by the action of the imagination
The author cites cases, where, beyond all
doubt, hydrophobia symptoms were de-
veloped by innoculation. A noble in
stance is that of physician of Lyons,
named Chomel, who, having aided in the
dissection of several victims of the dis
order, imagined that he had been innoc-
ulated with the virus. On attempting
to drink he was seized with spasms of the
pharynx, and, in this condition, roamed
about the streets for three days. At
length his friends succeeded in convinc-
ing him of the groundlessness of his ap-
prehensions, and he at once recovered.
Rush also tells of cases of spontaneous
hydrophobia, which arose from no other
cause but fear and association of ideas.
A German physician, too. DIR. Marx
of Gottingen, as we learn from "The
Cimic,' is disposed to take this view of
hydrophobia, and to regard it as a phys
ical affection, the result of morbid ex-
citement of the imagination. He is of
the opinion that the bite of mad dog
does not, of itself, produce the symptoms
of hydrophobia and that, were it not
for the common belief in canine virus,
the spasms and other manifestations of
the disease would not supervene. This
view is confirmed by the fact that young
who are not acquainted with
the common belief as to hydrophobia,
may be bitten by mad dogs and escape
spasms and madness. He adds, eff we
are able, as in olden times, and in the
case of children, to instruct or induce
men to be perfectly quiet after they are
bitten by rabid dog, not to tremble or
be frightened, but to Danish anxiety, to
control their Imagination, and, with pa
tience and hope, to look for ward to re-
covery, and also to persuade the well to
remain with the unfortunate one, and
not to run away, but to cheer him in the
hour of trial, then the means may have
been discovered by which the effects of
the accident are to be banished, and the
poison in the wound neutralized. d.-Ap-

How Indians Butcher their Cattle


A gentleman from up river gives us
the following information concerning the
way in which the Indians at several of
the agencies do their butchering. The
agent furnishes them their rations of
beef ON the hoof, when they are then al
lowed to slaughter according to the die
tates of their own consciences. From
one hundred to two hundred head are
issued at time, and the Indians drive
all but twenty or thirty into an enclos-
ure arranged for the purpose. A couple
of hundred of the savages then get
around The pen, and with rifles and re-
volvers, commence a fusilade into the
herd, taking no aim, but just banging
away promiscuously, seeming to desire
more to MAIN and torture the poor brutes
than to kill them. The revolvers havn't
sufficient force to put them to death, and
so they are the favorite arm. The wound
ed bovines soon set up believing which
ought to excite pity in any heart, but
these redskins listen to it with delight
that could only be equalled if the agoniz-
ing cries were those of pale-face victims.
In the herd may be seen animals with
two or three of their legs broken, but
trying to rear and plunge on those fun
injured some of their horns split by a
bullet, and others SCARED and bleeding
in various parts of the body.
After the massacre is finished, the In
dians jump into the corrall, and there is
then strife for securing the tongues and
intestines of the animals, which, taken
raw, are very choice morsels to the red
mans palate. When there is nothing
left but lifeless, tongueless, eyiserated
carcasses of the cattle inside the enclos-
ure, attention is then paid to those reserv-
ed to furnish the dessert of thiscarnival or
barbarous cruelty. The twenty or thirty
steers are then stampeded across the
prairie, and pursued by the Indians on
horseback with lances and revolvers, a
Ia buffalo hunt, their tormentors utteriDg
those hideous noises for the production of
which the vocal accoutrement of the full
grown nations ward is the only adequate
arrangement yet discovered. The cattle
are soon exhausted by loss of blood and
the frantic pace at which they try to
elude their murderers. When one falls,
the Indians then try by goadings to urge
it to another race; but when they fail in
this, they stand over the fallen beast, and
torment it until death comes as a relief.
Then all the interest in the animal is at
an end except who shall scalp it of its
tongue and entrails. The squaws are then
turned out to cut up the carcasses and
get them into camp, and not morsel is
allowed to remain. There are sometimes
fearful contests for choice portions Of
the animal, in which two braves msy
frequently be seen hacking at each other
with their knives over piece of tender
loin.-Siour City Journal.

A Magician's Joke on a Landlord.

n Masicians y joke Oh u LanuIOru'
A short time since Martino, the ma
gician aud ventriloquist, came to Quin-
cey, ILL.,, to commence series of enter
tainments in that city.
On arriving at the hotel he inquired
of the landlord if he could have lodg-
ings for the night. Our worthy host,
being jolly fellow. quickly replied,
You can have dozen rooms if you
choose, as there have been no other arri-
walls tonight"
Taking a lamp in his hand, and fol-
lowed by Martino, the landlord started
up stairs to give MARITIME the choice of
half dozen of vacant rooms. AS the
landlord proceeded to unlock the first
room voice from within cried out:
\" What do you want in here 2" The
landlord apologized for the intrusion and
passed on to the next room, when a voice
from the inside cries out: $50 away
from here or l will blow your brains
out" They passed on to third room,
and were just unlocking the door when
child commenced crying. with the
father and mother trying to quiet it.
The landlord began TO look confounded,
but still passed on from room to room,
and every one seemed to be occupied
with either Irish, German, French or
some other foreigners. The landlord,
being an old bachelor, had selected one
of the choicest rooms in the hotel for
himself Finding all his rooms occupied,
he said: "My dear sir, shall have to
give you my own room tonight, as the
others seem to be all occupied" On
arriving at the door a lady from within
cried out: Go away from here, who
ever you are. The landlord gave me
this room for the night, and / do not
wish to be meddled with. Besides, / am
not what you take me for. / am mar
ried woman, travelling for my health,
and do not wish to be disturbed, espec-
tally at this late hour"
The landlord, finding all his rooms
occupied, quickly set down the lamp,
with the remark, 81 would like to know
how it is that my hotel is full of travel
lers and no names appear on the regis
ter" After amusing himself sometime
at the old mans expense, MARITIME in
formed him that there was no one in the
rooms, and that he was the gentleman
that was to commence an engagement in
the opera house in that city the next
week. He remarked to the old man
that he had been out of practice for
some time, and was merely testing his
ventriloqual powers. The landlord, on
finding out who the stranger was, quick
ly said: Mr.. Martino, you can have
the best room in the house during your
stay" He says the next time ventri-
oquist stops at his hotel he will give him
all the keys and let him select his own
room.-Qsincey, Ill.,, Herald.

/" Mamma Is Dead"

Mamma Is Deau.
The Virginia City (Nevada) Enter
prise, in recent issue, relates the fol.
lowing:
"Mr. John w. Van Brocklin, of Twin
Bridges, short distance away from this
city, was helping to build church al
Sheridan, and was away from home with
his wagon and team from Monday morn
ing till Saturday night. He had been
several weeks so occupied. He was,
therefore, absent from his wife and two
little children, the eldest five years old,
all the week, except Saturday nights and
Sundays. Mrs. Van Brocklin and the
children enjoyed good health, and the
husband and father had no fear for the
safety of the birds in the home-nest.
There were near neighbors, too. On
Saturday evening the two children used
to toddle good distance along the road
by which their father came, to meet him
and get ride home in the wagon. On
late Saturday, Mr.. Van Brocklin was
returning home as usual, and the two
little fellows had gone quite distance
to meet him. He stopped to take them
in the wagon, and as he lifted them up,
he asked, How is mammal" Two
little voices replied, 40, papa, mamma s
dead" He thought he did Dot hear cor
rectly, and asked again, "Your man.
ma? 2" The little voices again chimed
together. Yes, papa, mammals dead
in the bed.' Van Brocklin hurried his
team home. He found his wife indeed
in bed insensible, and fast sinking in
death. She was there alone no neigh
bors we're near. He called loudly for
help-the neighbors we're alarmed,
doctor was summoned, but before he ar
rived the poor woman had passed away.
The doctor said her attack was of par
alytic nature.
This is the children's story, gathered
from them by odds and ends On Thurs
day evening, Mrs. Van Brocklin called
her children to her, and told them
she was sick, and to run and call
the nearest neighbor. Then she fell
down on the bed. She never said any
thing more to them, and they at first
supposed she was asleep. 1t was grow
ing dark, and they were afraid to go for
the neighbor They slept in their clothes,
and tried to waken their mother in the
morning but she would not rouse. They
ate what they could find cooked in the
house and drove up the cows morning and
evening to be milked but there was no
one to milk them, and at the usual time
they turned them out into the pasture
again. The neighbors seeing the children
at their usual daily tasks supposed, of
course, that all was right with them at
home and so it happened that none of
them called. The Oldest child began to
be little frightened, and suggested to
the other: What if mamma should be
dead. She must be dead, or she'd waken
up and SO the little boys came to the
conclusion that their mother had gone
away from them, and wondered what
papa would say when he heard of it.
Their curiosity on this point was excit-
ed, and, with their hearts full of news,
they started out to meet their father
coming home in his wagon. They had
been forty-eight hours with the shadow
of death in the house, and were not old
enough to realize what it meant"

REMOVING ACID STAINs.-If you
have been picking or handling any acid
fruit and have stained your hands, wash
them in clear water, wipe them lightly,
and while they are yet moist strike q
match and shut your hands around it so
as to catch the smoke, and the stains will
disappear. If you have stained your
muslin or gingham dress, or your white
pants with berries, before wetting with
anything else, pour boiling water through
the stains and they will disappear. Be-
fore fruit juice dries it can often be re-
moved by cold water, using sponge
and towel if necessary. Rubbing the
fingers with the inside of the parings of
apples will remove the most of the stain
caused by pairing. Ink also, if washed
out or sopped up from the carpet with
cold water Immediately when it is spilled,
can be almost entirely removed. Ink
spots on floors can be extracted by
securing with sand, wetted in oil of Wit
riol and water. When the ink is re-
moved rinse with strong pearlash water.
