A Race for his Scalp.

Mr.. Lester B. Platt, resident of
Druid Hill avenue, Baltimore, who is
also Yale divinity student, has been
spending his summer vacation on the
Western Plains. Soon after reaching
Genoa, Nebraska, he was invited by the
Pawnee chief to accompany his tribe on
their annual hunting expedition. Dis
carding the apparel of the effeminate
civilization, our young "theolog" don
ned the Pawnee costume, and for the
nonce became regular Indian. While
the Pawnees were on their homeward
iaunt, heavily laden with game, they
were suddenly surprised by large
body of their ancient enemies, the
Sioux. The Pawnees, though fighting
bravely, were overpowered, scattered,
one-fourth of their erslaughtered,
and the remainder pursued until dark
ness concealed them, when they es-
capped. Young Plat was captured by
the Sioux after giving the last shot in
his locker. He would have been scalp
ed, but the Sioux Chief forbade it, and,
pointing him to the Republican river,
babe him run for his life. He did, and
saved it, escaping unhurt among the
pursuing bullets. He will soon return
to his exegesis and homiletics with the
wild Indian death-song ringing in his
brain, and the possessor of a rare ex-
perience for these prosaic days.

Having q Little Fun.

Don't be afraid of having little fun
in the family. A merry disposition is
god-send to home. There's the case
of a man on Nelson street, Danbury, for
instance. Saturday he went into the
kitchen ahead of his wife, and seeing
two huckleberry pies steaming on the
table he hastily concealed them in the
ice-chest, which stood open in the back
hall. Then he went down town chuck
ling to himself, and ten minutes later
the ice cart drove up and the ice man
brought ina fifty pound cake, and start
ed for the ice-chest, followed closely by
the fond wife expatiating upon the
"muss." He put the cake upon the
edge of the chest, and gave it push
over, and when it came down on those
two steaming pies, a huckleberry geyser
followed, and the ice man with eyes and
face full of the discharge, tumbled com
pletely over the woman, and disappeared
out of the door. The wife recovered
her balance as speedily as possible, and
catching up broom went after the ice
man, but he escaped her; then she came
back and looked in the ice-chest, and
down at the oil-cloth, and up at the
ceiling, and around on the walls. The
men at the store who were let into the
joke by the facetious Nelson street man,
are anxiously wondering how it turned

Alcohol is Food.

Liquor fattens whiskey is good
tonic; bitters aid digestion. These are
statements made every day with con-
siderable confidence and in a manner
well calculated to impose on certain
class of minds; hence it is we'll that
the friends of temperance should have
at hand the weapons of their warfare
against the liquor traffic.
If alcohol is food, why not give it to
our horses
If liquor fattens, why not give it to
our beef cattle, our turkeys, and our
plgs-a good dram Of it night and morn
ing?
If whiskey is good tonic, that is,
gives good appetite, why is it that so
many whiskey-drinkers, the men who
are always full and never empty, eat so
little ; and on the contrary, almost live
on whiskey Give them plenty of
whiskey, and they want nothing else
but leisure to drink it
If Critters" aids digestion, why is it
that those who take them all the time
are never well?
But suppose that in some cases spir-
its do fatten, it is a watery fat gives
no strength, but increases the inability
to work, and the susceptibility to all
prevalent diseases. In cholera and all
epidemics the liquor drinkers are the
first to die.
If liquor fattens, why is that we see
SO many spindle-shanked drunkards {?
Whiskey drinkers are often long, lank
and lean, with so little flesh on their
bones that the skin seems almost to
cling to them, and so tottering are they
in their step that the wind is ready to
blow them away at any moment, and SO
shaky do they become in the end. that
it requires all the strength and steadi-
ness of both hands to carry glass of
grog to their lips. Halls Journal of

Death of Mr.. SOthern's Victim.

Actor Sothern's car difficulty in Cali
fornia, says q local paper of recent
date, has unfortunately ended fatally.
James Lawson is dead. Sad as the
whole affair is, no one can possibly
blame Sothern. He was suddenly and
savagely struck, while quietly expostu-
lating with Lawson, a man over six feet
two inches high, and almost double his
weight. Even then, according to the
conductors evidence, although bleeding
profusely from the mouth and nose, he
kept his temper, but remained as firm
as ever in his determination to have his
private car to himself. A second time
he requested Lawson to leave, and a
second time did Lawson make rush at
him while hfs back was turned, as he
urged the conductor to keep passive.
The second cowardly attack did at last
rouse him, and, turning around rapidly,
Sothern gave him two or three singing
blows, then closed with him, and finally
administered a rapid "cross bullock, u
intending to throw him on the platform,
but the mans struggles called for more
force, and he was thrown over the chain
at the end of the car. A compound
fracture of the right leg and internal
injury were the result. Mr.. Sothern's
departure is unavoidably postponed,
but no one can doubt the verdict of the
coroner's jury.

4 Hebrews OpnOrtune Wit.

Coming out of the Benedictine
Museum, says Maury, in letter from
France, pause moment opposite the
house No. 8 and admire the wit of a
Hebrew who was very nearly hanged
over the doorway, in the year 1926, but
escaped by his presence of mind. He
was peddler, and had shrugged his
shoulders at the legend of the Precious
Blood, just then in more repute than
ever, for Charles X. had lately come to
the throne, and the Jesuits ruled mems
souls and bodies. The good folk of
Fecamp took immediate measures for
lynching the Hebrew, there and then,
with the leather strap that girt his pack,
and the moose was already round his
neck, when he roared to be allowed to
dip his lips in holy water from the
source at No. 10 rue de PAumone. His
request was graciously acceded to,
owing to the remark of somebody pres
ent that the water would probably
choke him. But the infdel had nc
sooner drank than he tossed both arms
aloft and vowed that he was cured OF
a chronic rheumatism that had afflicted
him for the last ten years. The miracle
was too good to be lost, so the Jew was
released on promising to be christened
the next day, and he disappeared mys-
teriously the same night. His name
was Jacob Cohen, and it is to be hoped
that he succeeded in life as he deserved

Powder In His Pocket.

The Reese River ReUeiHe has the fol-
lowing, which serves to exhibit the ex-
travagances Of far Western humor: "a
festive youth, who performs his daily
avocations in the mines of Lander Hill,
thought he would take home a little
blasting powder the other day; it might
come handy to split an obstinate log he
had at home. When he started for his
humble cabin in the evening he wrapped
a few ounces carefully in several thick
nesses of paper and placed it in his
pocket. When he got home he got to
thinking how long it would be before
he was likely to get a crushing; and
then he thought what nice perfume
that handkerchief extract that he
bought last Saturday night had, and
he said within himself that a miners
life was hard and uncertain. Then he
thought he ought to call on that Smith
ers girl tonight. He thought of every
thing but that powder in the pocket of
his coat. After supper he concluded to
drop in and see that Smitkers girl. He
got his necktie in proper shape, his
handkerchief was perfumed like unto
new-blown rose ; one oiled lock hung
gracefully down on his forehead, and
he started for the domicile of his sweet
ness. This young man is coloring a
meerschaum, but the girl detests the
horrid smoke; so when he got to the
door, he knocked the bowl of the meer-
schaum on his manly heel, and put it in
his pocket. OF course, he didn't in
tend to put it in the same pocket with
the powder. His affinity met him at
the door with sweetsmile on her beau
teous countenance, welcomed him to
her paternal mansion, and invited him
into the parlor and to take seat on the
sofa. They were engaged in converse
ton. He asked her if it wasn't beau
tiful evening, and then she inquired
how he liked the dress Miss Brown wore
in church last Sunday. He said he didn't
like it bit, and she remarked that Miss
Brown was a stuck-up thing anyhow /;
and all this time that pipe was insidu-
ously burning it's way through that
paper. He agreed that Miss Brown
was somewhat stuck-up, and said may
be we'd strike it pretty soon, and then
you'd see who would wear plug hats.
She told him she thought plug hats so
becoming, and then he was going to tell
her he adored her; that she was the
darling of his soul, and that all his
happiness was centered in her No.
boots. But he was interrupted. He
arose from the floor and inquired if the
lightning had struck anybody else, and
remarked something about the Virginia
explosion being a warning topeople not
to keep nitro glycerine in their houses.
Then he took off his coat. He said it
was an old coat, and he didn't want it
no how. His girls father suggested that
this wasn't Fourth of July, and if he
wanted to set off fireworks he ought to
go up on the hill and do it. Then the
young man said it was getting late, and
he guessed he'd go home, and suggested
that he would send man around to-
morrow to fix the sofa. He says now
that faxseed amt worth a cuss for q
poultice, and he amt going to call on
that Smithers gal any more she's most
too heightened, and thinks herself toe
good for O miner, anyhow,

DiSinfectants.

Herr Eckstein, of Vienna, strongly
recommends chloride of lime as the
cheapest and best of all disinfectants.
His experiments with various substances
used for this purpose show some curious
results. Thus, two pounds of sulphate
of iron, dissolved in water and poured
into a saucer. at first liberated sui
phuretted hydrogen, and after u hours
no longer produced any effect a solu-
ton of sulphate of copper behaved in
the same manner two pounds of crys-
tails of green vitriol retained its action
for two days; a mixture of sulphates of
iron and copper and carbolic acid lasted
two days; sulphurous acid was suffo-
eating, and ceased to act in one day
and carbolic acid produced a worse odor
in the house than the bad gases that
proceeded from the sewer.
