A DIRTY OUTRAGE. - Monday
week a gang of five or six well
known hoodlums rode up to the
Iudian camp west of town, and after
knocking down or severely injuring
Indian George with a stone for try
ing to rescue his squaw from their
british clutches, they outraged her
before his eyes. A runner came to
town after the Sheriff, who, with
Under Sheriff Swearengen, immedi-
ately started to the rescue, but by
the time they got close enough to
recognize them by their voices, the
gang took, the alarm and, mounting
their horses, fled like a pack of
coyotes. They We're ordered to stop
and had pistol shot fired after them,
but this only accelerated their speed.
1t is source of general regret that
the Indians do not put ball through
the perpetrators of such high handed
outrages as this, which, if properly
prosecuted under the law, as we are
told it will be, would surely send
every one of them to the Peniten-
tiary.-Inyo (Cal.) Independent.

A Little Advice to Farmers.

HELP your wives in every way you
can. trivial though it may seem to
you. For instance, keep an extra
pair of shoes or slippers in the hall or
entry, and always remember to change
your dirty boots before entering her
clean rooms. Then you may be sure
of a smile of welcome, as no dirt will
be lett after you for her to clean up
In the evening comb your hair as
carefully as ever you did in your
courting days, put on a clean coat or
dressing gown, and when you take
your paper to read do not read to
yourself and leave her to lonesome
thoughts while sewing or mending,
but remember that she too has been
working hard all day, and is still
working. Read to her whatever in
terests you, so that her interests and
opinions may grow with yours, and
that she may comprehend something
besides love stories,. of which too
many have read more than they
should. You will both be happier
and being a farmers or a mechanics
wife will not be such a dreadful tire
some and lonely life as many girls
have every reason now to think tits

TIE FRENCH EDIToR.-The French
editor does not produce more than
half as much work as his American TEL
low, and he receives more pay. When
the French writer makes two articles
in q week, each of about fifteen hun
bred words, he has performed what is
considered fair work and he receives
for this salary of twenty thousand
francs year, or about seventy five
dol ars per week in gold. In New
York, the highest grade of salaries in
the Offices of the best papers, as rule,
does not exceed seyenty-fve dollars in
currency, and the writer does double
the work of the French journalist.
Besides the work of the american is
done under uniavorable circumstances,
at night, in haste, based on the latest
news by telegraph; while that OF tAe
Flenchman is done leisurely in day
light, for the latest news feature,
which is considered of such import
ance in America, is not required here.
There are instances where higher sal
aries are paid, as in that of Edmund
About, attached to the XIX Steele,
who receives thirty-thousand francs
year. Several writer's are paid from
twenty-five to twenty-eight thousand,
and with such compensation they do
not stand so far behind men in other
professions as journalist do in Ameri
ca for the journalism is not as well
pad in France as in our country,
where the leading lawyers and doc
tors make forty Or fifty thousand dol
lars a year.

LIKING AND D4SLIKING.

w who know the reason, tell me
How it is that instinct still
Prompts the heart to like-or like not
At its own capricious will
Tell me by what hidden magic
Our impressions first are led
Into liking-or disliking-
Oft before word is said
Why should smiles sometimes repel us ?
Bright eyes turn our feelings cold ?
What is that which comes to tell us
All that glitters is not gold
Oh-no feature, PLAIN or striking,
But power we cannot shun,
Prompts our liking or dlsliking,
Ere acquaintance hath begun.
Is it Instructor some spirit
Which protects us-and controls
Every impulse we inherit
By some sympathy of souls
Ia it instinct ?--Is it nature?
Or some freak or fault of chance,
Which our liking-or disliking-
Limits to a single glance
Like presentiment of danger,
Though the sky no shadow filings;
Or, that inner sense. still stranger,
OF unseen-unuttered things?
Is it oh, can no one tell me-
No one show sufficient cause
Why our liking-or disliking-
Have their own distinctive avs 4?

Mrs. AstOr and Her Diamonds.

Mrs. Astor, the wife of the hundred
millionaire of New York, appeared at
party which she gave at her Fifth
Avenue residence, one evening re-
Gently, in style which would justify
any reporter in saying that she Glitter
ally blazed all over with diamonds"
On each of her shoulders she had four
stars, the size of silver half dollars,
made of diamonds. Her dress was set
very thickly with diamonds, and
her hair seemed afame with them.
There was a diamond bandeau upon
her brow. She had diamond earrings
and diamond necklace of magniti-
cent proportions. Upon the two sides
of her chest were two circles of dia-
monds, about the size of the palm Of
the hand. From them depended
lines and curves of diamonds reach
ing to her waist, round which she
wore a diamond girdle On the skirts
of her dress in front were two large
peacocks wrought Of lines Of dia-
monds. There were rosettes Of dia-
monds on her slippers. There were
diamonds large Or small, but in every
variety of form, all over her dress and
person, wherever they could be artis-
ically placed. She presented an ex-
traordinary and dazzling spectacle as
she movedlanguidly through the dance
among her friends. One of the ladies
present, a connoisscur in precious
stones, who kept cool enough to take
practical observations, says the dia
monds she wore could not have cost
less than S1,OOO,o0O, and must have
represented her husbands income fol-
at least quarter of a year. This
same lady, who is familiar with Cour
life in Europe, says the largest col
lection of diamonds in possession o
any European Empress OR Queen be
longs to the present German Empress
but she adds that even Augusta her
self could not make diamond shov
which would begin to compare wit
that made by Mrs. Astor on Thurs
day evening Of last week. In thes
hard times the Astors are OCCASIONAL
liberal in their benefactions. For ii
stance there was banquet for twer
ty-four given at the Astor mansio
the other day and, in front of eac
lady's plate, there was gift for he
of costly bonbomiere, exquisitel
wrought with precious stones, and
bout the size of an ordinary snuff box
and each lady was also presented wit
a bouquet, gotten up in fashion not t
be described.

AMERICAN GIRLS SONG.

Our hearts arc with our native land
Our song is for her glory:
Her warrior wealth is in her hand,
Our lips breathe out her story.
Her lofty hills and valleys green
Are shining bright before us
And like a rainbow sign is seen
Her proud flag waving DER us.
And there are smiles upon their lips,
For those who met the foeman;
For glorys star knows no eclipse;
When smiled upon by woman.
Nor those who brave the mighty deep,
And scorn the threat of danger.
We've smiles to cheer, and tears to weep
For every ocean ranger.
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her freemen;
Our prayer is for the gallant band,
Who htrike where honor leads them.
We love the taintless all we breathe
Tis Freedoms endless power;
Wen Irvine for him an endless wreath.
Who scons tyrant's power.
They tell Of Frances beauties rare
OF Italy's proud daughters;
OF Scotland's lassics, England's fair,
And nymphs of Shanon's waters.
We need not boast their naughty charms,
Though lords around them hover;
Our glory lies in Freedom 8 arms
A freeman for lover.

SETTING HENs.-A correspondent
writes "It is often the case that
troublesome, aud sometimes cruel, ex-
pedients are resorted to, to break hens
from setting-such as ducking them
in water or throwing them into pond
putting snowballs or stones in their
nests shutting them up without food,
etc. Now all that is necessary is
simply to put them in a comfortable
coop Or pen out of sight of and away
from their nests, four or five days, with
plenty of food and water A hen that
would be good setter .andmother you
cannot break by ducking or any other
method natures laws gle Too deeply

Ice FOR THE MILLIoN.-At any de.
sired distance from your well dig pit
four feet deep, and eight or ten feet
square. Place joists on the bottom,
and fill between with sawdust. On
these joists lay good floor. Around
the sides sit joists about eight feet
high. Fasten them well at the bot
tom, and spike your plate to the top
of each joist. Board up on the inside,
and lamp sawdust between the boards
and the bank. When you get to the
top ofthe ground, board up on both
sides of the joist, and fill between with
sawdusl. Bank up the house with
the dirt you throw out. When win
ter sets in fierce, dash in water in small
quantities till the ice is two inches
thick. After that pump in each day
what will freeze, till you have a solid
icebrwg five Or six feet thick, then
cover with sawdust, and you will have
ice all summer In warm weather re-
move the sawdust, and set on the ice
your jars Of butter, or sausage, and
put back the sawdust around the jars.
A shallow box with zinc bottom
placed on the ice, and covered with
sawdust will keep fresh meat long
time. When your iceburg is half
made you can set on your pork and
bean barrels, and freeze them in. The
brine will keep cool. When warm
weather comes the iceburg will let 60
ofthe sides of the house, so that with
an axe you can easily get pieces to
use. 1t is good place to make Or
keep cc-cream.

CuPID AND New SILKS. 1t is a
masculine eccentlicity to have fond
ness for seeing the women they like in
familiar garments. More than one girl
has wondered how dear Harry or
George could be so stupid as to pro-
pose to her while she had on that
shabby merino or well wore muslin,
instead of declaring himself when she
had bedecked herself, especially for
him, with all the resources of her
wardrobe. A new dress rather awes a
lover, if it has any effect on him at all.
He likes dress that recalls to him
some pleasant "reminiscences of your in
tercourse. Remembering this, one
comes to the conclusion that women
waste diplomacy in endeavoring to
cosx money from their husbands. The
same amount of strategy, acumen, and
knowledge of human nature, devot-
ed to any other subject, would make
woman's fortune. Exerted as it is there
is something contemplate in it. If the
wife knows that the domestic finances
will not admit of a new dress, well
and good, that is the end of that. II
she feels satisfied that the dem and is q
Ejust one, make it in the name of com.

VISIT TO A LAKE OF F1RE.-A cor
respondent Of the indianapolis Jour-
nal describes visit to the crater of
Kilanea, in Hilo, in the Hawaiian is
lands, the largest known active volca
no in the W rid: She says:
eve stood on the high bank of an
irregular lake of liquid fire, which was
seething and rolling to and fro, glow
ing with exceeding great heat, and
sending up vast columns of smoke.
The cascade of fire was playing in the
centre Of the lake, scattering tirery
spray ali around it. Then for a few
moments it subsidized, and the AXE
cooled over on top, a thin crust OF
gray and black, but it soon heaved up
slowly in the centre and spouted up a
fiery geyser, thirty Or forty feet high,
flinging ont showers and clots of lava,
and flashing up red pillows against the
the cliffs with a sound resembling
surf on a rocky shore, only that it had
something indescribably hellish and
diabolical in it that filed me with an
awful shudder. That smashing, self
conscious sound, now faint, now loud,
was to me by far, the most impressive
I think / should 60 mad if | had to
listen to ii long, and realize that it was
caued by the restless, surging sea OF
fire that seemed the very lake Of
perdition. This lake is constantly
changing. AT the time Of our visit it
was three or four acres in extent, and
the surface was 100 feet below the
top of the cliff. Huge masses of rock
constantle tumbling in, and there is
always danger to visitors who stand
close to the edge. Only few days be-
fore a party had very narrow escapes
they were standing on ledge of rock
when they heard smashing sound
beneath them, and had just time tc
step backward when the entire shell
was precipitat ed into the boiling lavS
below. We stayed about three hours
watching the lake glow and brighter
and change. Then gathering a 10
of specimens, we toiled back over thu
Jagged lava that cut our shoes an(
blistered our feet, visiting on the wa.
the old north lake, now inactive. Th'

pail, or cliff overlooking the crater, i
