The Brooks forces were melting rapid
ly away yesterday. One hundred and
ti,ty men, all the Jefferson county mob
brought up a few days ago by Col John
NJ Clayton, departed in the morning on
the Mary Boyd for their homes disgusted
with Brooks and his cause. In addition
to these, men are leaving almost con-
stantly. This movement on the part OF
Brooks, who was so defiant few days
ago, and refused to send any men away
when Gov. Baxter submitted such q prop.
ostion to him, is said to have been occa
stoned by dispatch from Clayton, who
telegraphed Old Joe that he had done all
he could for him, at Washington, and
that he could do nothing more. On the
contrary, the Baxter men received re
newed assurances from the "city Of mag
niiicent distances
Judge Yonley, it will be remembered
left the city at the commencement Of the
present troubles and went to Washing
ton. We notice in the St. Louis Times
that he was in that city on Monday nigh,
en- route for Little Rock. Whether he
came or not we have not learned-but rs
to what he accomplished can be judgcC
by the following, being a private letter
from reliable gentleman of this city
now in Washington. This letter tells US
also that when Col. Gunter sent that con
eratulatory dispatch to Brooks he did SC
under a misnpprehension, and he does
not endorse Brooks revolutionary cours,
as his partisans have published

Yonlcy, who was here in Brooks inter

government in his behalf, met with a very
discouraging reception. Gunter, whom
l saw this evening, says that he signed
the dispatch congratulating Brooks OF
his final triumph, under a misapprehen
sion Of the facts He showed me tele
gram from Brooks, in substance, to the
effect that the courts had finally decided
in his favor, and that he was in posses
sion of the office, having just been inau
eurated as Governor. Gunter tells her,
that he was led to believe that this was
final judgment ofa Court having lcga
jurisdiction; and that the whole pro
cecdng was regular, and without oppo
sition. He never intended his Telegram
as an unqualified Endorsement Of Brooks

The Judge left me alone for a moment.
My ideas, own, were completely over
turned. l continued to think La Grecque
innocent, but began to have my doubts OF
Valentn, and was greved to think OF the
sorrow which must fall on the family of the
unfortunate young man.
| thought also of poor Evornia. There was
no need that the judge should reveal to her
all these incidents, to sully in her heart the
memory of one she adored, whose loss she
mourned, the father of her child. regretted
that the body had been carried home, but the
lawcommanded it.
As the judge did not wish to excite curlos-
ity, it was nearly half past nine in the eve
ming when we returned to the prison. La
Grecque, who kept asking what they wanted
| of her, went with an officer through unfre-
auented streets followed at a little distance
| by Valentin.
| l went on in advance in order to warn
Evorna not to be disturbed at the incessant
come and go that she would hear in the
chamber Of her husband, but undecided to
know what reason I could invoke to hide the
truth from her.
The night was dark, the streets consequent
ly deserted, for there are few cities where
people retire so early as in Orizava. 1t is per.
haps to this custom, as wise as healthy that
the city can count SO many centennarians.
Here and there a few women were at thelI
windows talking Of the events OF the day.

Something TO Spell.

THE most skillful gauger / ever knew
was a maligned cobbler, armed with a
poniard and ferrule, who drove ped
dler's wagon, using mullen-Stalk as an
instrument of coercion to tyranniZe
over his pony shod with calks. He was
a Galilean Sadducee, and he had a
phthisicky catarrh, diphtheria, and the
bilious intermittent erysipelas. A GER
tain sybil, with the soubriquet of "Gyp-
sy," went into ecstasies of exclamation
at seeing him measure out bushel of
peas, taking up two peas at time, and
try to separate saccharine tomatoes from
heap of pealed potatoes without dye
ing or singeing the ignitible queue which
he wore, or becoming paralyzed with a
hemorrhage. Lifting her eyes to the cell
ing of the cupola of the Capitol to con-
ceal her unparalleled embarrassment,
making an awkward courtesy, and not
harassing him with mystifying, rarefying
and Supplying innuendoes, she gave him
a conch, bouquet of lilies, mignonette
and fuchsias, treatise on mnemonics, a
copy of the Apocrypha in hieroglyphics,
daguerreotypes of Mendelssohn and Kos
ciusko, a kaleidoscope, dram-phial of
ipecacuanha, teaspoonful of Haphtha
for deleble purposes, ferrule for cane'
a clarionet, some licorice, a surcingle, II
carnclian of symmetrical proportions, a
chronometer with movable balance
wheel box of dominoes and cate
chism. The gauger, who was also traf-
ticking rectifier and pariskioner of
mine, preferring wooden surtout (his
choice was referable to vacillating, oc-
notwithstanding idiosyncrasyl, wo-
fully uttered this apothegm: " Life is
checkered; but chism, apostasy, heresy
and villainy shall be punished: The
sibyl apologizingly answered: "There is
a ratable and allegeable difference be-
tween a comfortable cllipsis and a trisyl-
Liable diaresis" We replied in trochees,
not impugning her suspicion nor har-
arguing the audience. Thus Gypsy
remained in the ascendant. Her ascend,
ency can never again be queried by any
queasy, vulgar quean.-N. Y. World,

The Way TO Take Care Of China.

All china that has any gliding upon it
must on no account be rubbed with a
cloth Of any kind, but merely rinsed,
first in hot and afterward in cold water,
and then left to drain till dry. If the
gliding is very dull and requires polish
ing it may now and then be rubbed with
a soft washleather and little dry whit
ing, bat this operation must not be re-
peated more than once year, otherwise
the gold will most certainly be rubbed
off and the china spoilt. When the plates,
etc, are put away in the china closet
pieces of paper must be placed between
them to prevent scratches on the glaze or
painting, as the bottom of all ware has
little particles of sand adhering to it,
picked up from the oven wherein it was
glazed. The china closet should be in a
dry situation, as a damp closet will soon
tarnish the gliding of the best crockery.

An Elephants Revenge.

At Sacramento, a few weeks ago,
some fellow at a menagerie gave piece
of tobacco to an elephant, which caused
the animal to give way to terrible fit of
anger 1t seized the nearest object upon
which to wreak its vengeance, and this
proved to be the eleven-year-old son Of a
Mr.. III. w. Luhrs. The great beast
wound his trunk about the boy and
squeezed him 50 tightly as to break his
right arm between the elbow and the
wrist and to severely bruise his body.
Being compelled to release his hold of
the boy, the enraged animal, as soon as
the lad dropped, again attempted to seize
him, and in the effort came near taking
the youths head off. 1t was on all hands
considered more than fortunate that the
animal did not cast him down and tram
pie him to death, and also fortunate that
the angered brute did not run a-muck in
the crowd, as elephants have done when
tobacco has been given them. The boy
was not dangerously hurt. Such a trick
may have seemed very funny to the fell
low who played it, but il would have
been more generally satisfactory had the
elephant given him the hug instead of
injuring an innocent boy.

saucers are filled with water in the even
ing, which water by four o'clock in the
morning Is found to be covered with
thin coating of ice! These cakes of ice
are very small, it is true, but when they
are all thrown together into the ice
houses under the ground they form
themselves into masses OF quite re-
spectacle size. In these primitive ice
houses the ice keeps for some time.
The straw is placed in the bitches be-
cause it is a bad conductor of heat, and
by its means the saucers of water are
separated from the ground and receive
little or no heat from it. The water,
therefore, gives out more heat than it re-
ceives, so that its temperature is contln-
ually lowered until it reaches the freezing
point, when it of course becomes ice.
This is more or less mixed with bits of
straw and with dust. 1t cannot be used
to put into liquids, but placed around
them makes them delightfully."- cool and
refreshing, and we can well imagine
what luxury it must be in this torrid
region.
These are the two methods by which
the people of India procure ice-carry-
ing it there from a great distance, and
| freezing water by slow process. And
| yet, in India itself there are immense
| ice-fields that never melt, containing ma
terial enough to supply perpetually every
| town and little hamlet in the country.
For the Himalayan Mountains, with their
towering tops covered with everlasting
snow and ice, stretch along the western
part of the Indian peninsula. What
trial it must be to the temper of an East
Indian. who is nearly melted with the
heat in the plains below, to look up at
those white peaks and think how much
snow and ice is wasted there that would
| be of the greatest service to him il it
could only be brought down! But that
| is the problem! In the lowest part of
| the cold regions of the mountains ice
could be cut and made ready to be taken
away. But there are NO roads by which
| it could be carried to the plains; and if
! il were possible to construct roads over
the mountains to sufficient height to
reach the snowy regions the cost OF
making them would be enormous; and
when made it is doubtful whether ice
could be transported over them with
| sufficient rapidity for it to reach the
plains in a solid state.
So the Himalayas keep their icy treas
ures safely locked up in their mountain
Businesses, and the parched East Indian
finds himself obliged to call upon a dis
tant land to take compassion on him and
help him.-H. II. Edpards, IN ST. Nicholas

How They Make Ice In India.

Now, although ice keeps so well for q
long time when packed in the ships built
for il, and in this way can be conveyed
to any East Indian port, IL would be i'm
possible TO carry il into the interior of
the country, where there are no railroads
to transport it quickly. But the East In
dian who lives at distance from the
coast is not obliged TO do without cooling
drinks, for not only does he contrive to
cool water byputting 1t in porous jars and
setting them in q current OF air, but he
has fashion of his own for making ice,
and very curious fashion it is.
In the warm c0ur tries of Europe ice is
manufactured by the use Of ether, but
this would be very costly process in
India, and would place ii entirely out of
the reach of the mass of the people.
Their own method for manufacturing ice,
although slow one, is very simple, and
costs nothing.
They have discovered by observation
what we ere taught in natural philoso-
ply, that during the day the earth alb
serbs heat, and during the night it gives
it out--or, to speak more properly,
radiates heat This is much more notice
able in tropical than in temperate coun-
tries. They know also by experience
that, in order to enjoy the GOODNESS Of
night, they must avoid the shade of trees,
and lie out in the open places. The reason
of this, perhaps, they do not know,
which is, that the branches of the trees
interfere with this radiationg Without
reasoning on these facts, the East Indian
acts upon them, and uses his knowledge
of them in manufacturing ice.
In an open space, where there ar noe
trees, parallel bitches are dug in the
are half filled with straw and nets are
stretched over them. On these nets are
placed small earthen saucers holding
about wine-glass Of water. There Is
nothing more to be done but to wait for
a clear, starry and perfectly calm night,
