How He Proved 1t.

1t is the custom in Mexico fer the
clergy to require foreigner, wishing
to marry native, to bring proof that
he is not already married man. An
American, about to marry senorita of
very good family, was required to fur
nish the proof of his being bachelor.
Not finding any of his countrymen who
knew him sufficiently we'll to testify to
this fact, he determined to supply the
deficiency with the oath of native.
Meeting Mexican in the street,
whom he had never seen before, our
count1yman proposed to him that he
should swear to his being unmarried
for the consideration of five dollars.
The senior, after moments study, said
to the Yankee
"Get down on your hands and knees,
and creep about"
Not exactly understanding what he
was at our friend obeyed, much to the
detriment of his unmentionables. The
other party then told him he was all
right that he would swear that the
American had not been married since
he knew him, and that was since the
time he crawled.

Hints for Stacking Hay.
Drinks for Haying and Harvest.

Agricultural journals persist in rec
ommending various concoctions for
farmers to drink during the heating
and exhausting labors of the hay field
and the harvest field. We have, in our
day, tried these various mixtures, but
we have found nothing equal to pure,
cold well water. Active exercise under
sun that would raise the mercury
above 100 degrees raises the tempera-
ture of the body to q high degree, de-
gree that wonld prove fatal were it not
for the constant operation of natures
infallible cooler - perspiration. Per-
SEPARATION thickens the blood and other
fluids, causing thirst, frequent and in
tense. What drink is so well calculated
to reduce the internal heat and thin the
fluids as cold water? Having decided
upon using cold water as the beverage
of the hay and harvest fields, the next
thing is to use it judiciously. It can
be so used as to be injurious. When
the laborer comes around to the water
jug, or whatever the vessel may be, hot
and thirsty, and breathing rapidly, if
he seizes the vessel and drinks until he
is satisfied, he will cool off too suddenly
and take too much water into his
stomach but if he will take mouthful
into his mouth, hold it for a moment,
gargle it in his throat, and then eject
it, and afterward drink swallow at O
time, pausing moment between swal.
lows, he will find that a much less
quantity will suffice to allay his thirst,
and he will cool off more gradually.

Cost OF Indian Wars.

The figures representing the cost of
some of the Indian wars in the United
States are startling indeed. The Semi
mole war, wherein during the seven
years of strife 10000 whites were array
ed against 1850 warriors, assisted by
$50 of their negro slaves, involved an
expense of $20,OO0,0OO on account of
the militia and volunteers engaged, or
for compensation to citizens for loss
incurred. The regular army expendi-
lures were about $10,000,000. The cost
of the Sioux war of 1862 SO in Mime
sofa was also about $10,000,000. The
Cheyenne war that followed the Chiv-
ington massacre cost over $50, 900, 600
some accounts indeed, placing the cost
at $40, 100000 The Modocs under
Captain Jack, q mere handful of men,
were subdued at a cost OF several mil
lions. These data are sufficient to in
dictate what vast expenditures in money
are necessary to subdue the Indians
when they break out into warfare. II
the figures of all the Indian wars which
have occurred since the formation of the
Government were collated the total cost
of these wars to the country would be
found probably to foot up $3.50, 900, 900,
i not to surpass that amount.

Circumventing the Grasshoppers.

How the farmers of Wright County,
Iowa, drove away the grasskoppers is
revealed BY the local papers. The
crops il that county were abundant,
and the anxious husbandmen were in
hopes that these destructive pests
would not appear until after the har-
vest. AT once they came, however, in
clouds that darkened the sun. By a
preconcerted plan, the farmers set fire
to piles of dry straw on the borders of
the wheat fields, and smothered the
blaze with green hay. That caused
volumes of smoke to roll over the
fields. The grasshoppers didn't relish
the procedure at all. They rose with
such multitudinous hum of wings as
to deepen into roar like distant thun-
der, and fled the country. In that way
the Wright County farmers have fair
prospect of saving their crops.

Editorial notices are so common that
it is almost impossible for an editor to
express his honest opinion of the merits
of any article without being suspected
of interested motives. This fact, how
ever, shall not deter us from saying
what we think of new addition to the
Materia Medica to which our attention
has been recently directed. We refer
to DR.. J. Walkers California Vinegar
Bitters, remedy which is making more
noise in the world just now than all the
other advertised medicines put to-
gether. It's celebrity, as far as we can
Judge, is not based on empty pretention.
There seems to be no question about
the potency of its tonic and Alternative
properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing
neither alcohol nor mineral poison.
That it is a specific for Indigestion,
Biliousness, Constipation, and many
complaints of nervous origin, we have
reason to know and we are assured on
good authority that as general in
vigorant and regulating and purifying
medicine, it has no equal. 1t is stated
that its ingredients obtained from the
wilds of California;, are new to the
medical world ; and its extraordinary
effects certainly warrant the conclusion
that vegetable agents hitherto unknown
enter into its composition. If popu-
larity is any criterion, there can be no
doubt of the efficiency of the Vinegar
Bitters, for the sale of the article is i'm.
