Tyndall under the Falls, in a report of
which the eminent scientist showed his
appreciation of Conroy's heroic quail
ties. He is a quarter OF an inch over
six feet in height, and weighs now 200
pounds, although his full avoirdupois
is 900. He has a powerful frame, q
quiet pair of eyes, brown hair and sandy
mustache. His face is pleasant one,
and would be boyish if it were not for
his physical proportions. He has enor-
nous strength and unfailing courage,
and seems unwilling of the possession
of any great qualities of body, mind or
heart, all of which are prominently
his. He has wife and three children,
of whom he is proud, and works hard
as a guide at the Gave of the Winds for
their maintenance. When the Courier
reporter asked him what his sensations
were when he started out on his dan
gerous journey, he quietly replied
+" When I saw that man in the river, /
made up my mind 1 was going to have
him out right of, and If he had been
out as far again 1 would have made for
him" Well, Conroy did "have him
out right off" and we believe if he had
been anywhere in sight he would shave
made for him." Thomas Conroy has
proved himself q true hero, and his
name will go down to future generations
as one of Natures noblemen.

For an Old Trick.

A scientific laborer in Baltimore has
invented hydraulic cure for the ram
page in cattle. A certain festive steer
with welLdeveloped horns, broke away
from adrove of his fellows, and thought
he would have some rare fun with the
boys. He chased his tormentors, the
drovers, paid his respects to an unof-
Tending dray horse, visited dry goods
store and sent the clerks flying, and be-
haved in a very unbovine-like manner
generally. At last he got tired of the
sport and lay down on the sidewalk to
rest. He was secured and tied fast be-
fore he knew that he could not bring
his legs to bear upon the crowd. He
was, however, more unruly than ever,
though his violence took different
forms of expression. Now comes an old
negro with his specific for bovine bill
iousness. He poured water into the
left ear of the animal, and the cooling
liquid disappeared as fast as it could
down O rat hole. After his head had
been sufficiently water-logged, he be-
came as gentle as lamb, and suffered
himself to be led around like year
ling calf. But in majority of cases of
like character the water cure would be
impracticable, as the great difficulty is
to get hold of the ear. The experiment
is like sprinkling salt on little birds
tails to catch them. What's the use of
salt when you've got 'em :?

Catching Mackerel.

Mackerel are very numerous along
the Atlantic coast, and are caught by
fishing smacks in great numbers from
Cape May to Cape Cod. These fish
were until late years caught with
small hook, but as fishing became more
extensive a new plan was discovered by
which great number could be caught
in less time than with the hook and
line. 1t would take the fishermen, with
hook and line, long time to get load
to bring to market fresh, but now they
often get enough in one haul to load
their vessel.
The smackmen have two fishing
boats and large seine-like net, about
200 fathoms in length and eight in
depth, with large weight of $50
pounds called cold Tom" fastened to
the bottom rope about midway of the
net. They have pulleys connected with
this weight and small rings fastened to
the bottom rope about four feet apart.
A long rope is passed through these
rings and attached to the pulleys, so by
pulling on this rope the men are able
to draw up the bottom of the net like O
bag. On approaching q school OF
mackerel the fishermen drop "Old
Tom overheard, and then row around
the fish and let out the net SO as to
form circle. After the fish have been
closely gathered in the net the captain
comes alongside the net with the smack,
and with large scoop-net he, with the
assistance of the crew, hoists them Oh
board.

A Singular Chicken.

g. H. Murray, of Louisville, Ill,
writes to the Scientific american as
follows: A few days since there was
Matched under one of my hens double
bodied chicken, having but one head.
The bodies were perfectly developed up
to- the point where the vertebrn of the
neck began. There was but one breast
bone, which ramifed towards each
body. There were two complete back
bones, four perfect feet, and four wings.
Unfortunately this curiosity was acct
dentally killed. A dissection showed
but one heart, one liver, and one giz-
zard. There was but one bowel leading
from the gizzard. This extended about
one inch from the gizzard and there
ramifed, giving the two bodies each a
full set of bowels. The specimen is
now preserved in spirits in one of our
physicians offices.

Farm Hands.

One great popularity of Arkansas,
says correspondent, is the way in
which farm hands are paid. Instead
of being fed and allowed SO much a
month as wages, they are given share
of the profit derived from the land they
cultivate. The landlord or planter
furnishes land, houses, teams, and
tools; while the laborer gives all his
time and supplies his own food. When
the crop is harvested and ready for
market, it is divided between the pro-
prietor and servants. In this way an
industrious and economical farm hand,
with wife and three or four children,
estimating that the family will assist
at the lighter work during the busy
season, can cultivate about fifteen acres
of cotton and five acres of corn, the
product of which can be sold in aver
age seasons for about 1850. OF this
sum, according to the share system,
the laborer receives about $400, and
the master the balance. In addition to
the money thus earned, the hand is al.
lowed small garden of his own, and in
the prairie districts ga range" Oh
which to feed his COWS and hogs. The
mules and oxen are the only stock that
are Stalled during heworking season.

Courage.

A curious accident occurred lately to
the driver of q train on the Langnau
line to Switzerland. Surprising that
there was something the matter with
the engine and not wishing to stop the
train, he reached out to see what was
the matter, and in doing SO his head
came in contact with post which
knocked him off his engine, producing
wound reaching from the side of the
forehead to the back part of the ear
and exposing the brain. Although so
severely wounded he leaped on the
train, fearing that his assistant would
not be able to guide it safely to Berne.

Success Based UpOn Merit.

1t is a subject of general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such a popularity and met
with so large a sale in all parts of the land, in
the same length of time, as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This cannot de-
pend upon it's having been more largely adver-
tised than any other medicine, as such is not
the case. The correct explanation, we think,
is found in the fact that this medicine pro-
duces the most wonderful and perfect cures of
very bad cases of bronchial, throat and lung
diseases, is undoubtedly the most perfect and
efficient remedy for all kinds of coughs that
has ever been introduced to the public, and at
the same time possesses the greatest of blood
purifying and strengthening properties that
medical science has been able to produce, thus
rendering it a sovereign remedy not only in
the cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Hoarse-
ness and Coughs, but also for all diseases of
the liver and blood, as scrofulous Diseases
blotches, rough skin, pimples, black specks
and discolorations. 1t has therefore wide
range Of application and usefulness, and it not
only gives the most perfect satisfaction to all
who use it, but far exceeds the expectations of
the most sanguine, thus eiciting the loudest
praise, and making permanent B0ing advertising
mediums of all who use it. For these reasons
it is that there is not perhaps a druggist in all
the vast domain of this Continent, who tries to
please his customers and supply their wants,
that does not keep and sell large quantities of
this most valuable medicine.
