A Plot for a Playwright.

We remember a tradition of the
Mac-a-Cheek valley that would be well
to commence with. After the fight,
and destruction of the Indian towns In
that locality, one of the volunteers,
wandering 10 the woods, saw the head of
an Indian peeriug a. him from behind
rock, and without a whereas OF any
length and resolution quite as brief,
brought his gun to his shoulder and
fred a shot that tumbled over the in
quisitive aboriginal To the hunters
horror he found the victim of the fe-
male sex, with a papoose strapped to
her back. He removed the babe, and
he and his companion buried the
mother. He carried the infant over a
hundred miles to his log cabin, on the
banks of the Ohio, and adopted the
boy. He grew to manhood, shy, wild
fellow, witd no taste for civilized pur-
suits, and a love for the woods.
The situation was not pleasant, for
the youthful Lo was expected to work
for his living, and the labor was of the
hardest. To make matters worse, he
had the misfortune to fall IN love with
his patrOn's daughter, a beautiful girl
with no end of suitors, and as an In
dian in those days was regarded as a
little better than negro now, his love-
making did not prosper. His love was
soon pIighted to another, and as the
wedding day drew near the young In
dian disappeared. The marriage came
off with its usual melry-making, that
consisted of rife shooting, races, and
wrestling during the day, and dancing
and drinking at night.
The married couple had retired to
the bridal chamber, that made one end
of the double log cabin, and the merry
making continued all night. The next
morning the two so lately united for
life were called to breakfast. They did
not respond, for the very good reason
that both were dead, being found mur-
dered OF their bridal couch.
Ali knew who the avenger was but
to leave no donbt upon that head
wampum belt, worked by the poor girl
years before, was found upon the floor
at her feet. But he was never heard Cf
after. He seemed to vanish into night
aud memory. The poor father, recog-
pizing the band of retFibution, took to
drink, and was returned to congress.
He is remembered as a member of the
committee of ways and means, and
accumulated quite property out of
subsidies and indian contracts. He is
spoken of to this day by an aged, red
nosed, life-insurauce agent as that
bloody old Brown who was Jackson
man with a bad breath and worse
temper. - Washington Capital

The Grasses.

DIR. Bachelor, of Central New York,
talks thus of the different grasses with
which he has been experimenting /:
Perennial rye e-grass he considers of no
value for hay or pasture, as it will not
endure the winters, but italian rye
grass, he says, is hardly anywhere in
New York, and is one of the most val
liable grasses known, either to cut for
soiliug or for hay. In vigor it is like
orchard grass, but is finer in texture,
and is of the "cut and come again"
kind, often producing two crops of hay
in a season, and then rich aftermath.
Meadow fescue he finds to be one of
the most vigorous, adapted to either
meadow or pasture. It equals timothy
in the same time. It is a good grass
to grow with timothy. Sweet vernal
grass ought to be grown in the meadow
to give fragrance to the other hay.
Cattle devour it with great eagerness.
Orchard grass alone, or with the medium
clover, is valuable, but then it ripens
too soon for timothy. If cut just be-
fore the hower.scape opens. it makes
valuable hay, but if left till it ripens it
is no better than rye straw. Timothy,
Italian rye grass, meadow fescue, red
top, meadow oat grass and red clover
ripen well enough TO make good hay.
and are well adapted to the cIinaakeo
which is the great consideration The
proportion he gives of each is as fol.
lows: Timothy, ten pounds; italian
rye, five pounds meadow-oat grass,
two pounds red clover, eight pounds
For pasture he thinks June and orchard
grass the best. The doctor thinks the
Alfalfa viii prove valuable in the west

New Treatment Of Cancer.

A new and wonderful application OF
alcohol has recently been made in tho
treatment of tumors and cancer.
Schwalbe, Of Weinheim, has reported
100 cases of various forms Of indoleut
glandular swellings treated sue sessiully
by the subeutaneous injection Of the
used injections Of simple alcohol in
fifty similar cases, and has found the
results equally favorable and the time
required for a cure no greater, and ho
therefore concludes that the alcohol is
the essential remedial agent. He ex-
plains its curative action as follows
II establishes a state of chronic infam-
nation in the connective tissue, caus-
ing it TO contract 10y degrees, and thus
pressure is brought upon the vessels
aud the lymphatics are obliterated.
These effects, and thetOnscquent hard
ening of the connective tissue, no pro-
proposes 20 utilize in tho treatment OF
other tumors, and reports the cure OF
fatty tumors by the use OF such inlec.
tions, 20 which some ether was added
in order TO dissolve the fat. He finds,
however, the most importdut applica-
ton of his plan N the treatment Of
cancer by preventing its extension 10
the neighboring tissues and iymphatic
glands. The tumor is first to be iso-
lated, as it we've, by causing the con-
nective tissue on all sides Of IL TO be-
come shriveled. Then the contractive
connective tissue, approaching the
growth itself, presses upon It, cuts OF
its blood supply, and 30 causes 1t TO
disappear by strophy. Lymphaiio
glands which are already affected are to
be similarly treated. Schwalbe. with

cases of cancer of the breast in this

Spelling-MatcheS.

The latest mania which has seized
upon Young America is that of spelling
matches. They have spread as rapidly
as the epizootic did. 1t is an old custom
which had fallen into disuse, but has
been revived with a r~pidity which is
truly astonishing. Commencing in New
England, only a few weeks ago, they
have quickly spread to the west, the
lastplace TO be attacked being Nebraska.
The object of these matches is very
excellent one, the proceeds and rewards
being given to the poor. They are in
nocent in character, not liable to lead
people into temptation, and are cheap
and tranquilizing. They do not excite
the passions, keep people out very late
at nights, or distract their attention
from business. In these respects they
are much to be preferred to church
lotteries, religious raffles, farley wax
works. and other similar modes of
spreading the gospel into heather lands.
Some of the facts connected with these
matches are very peculiar. Although
nearly all women are accustomed TO
have had spells at times, they almost
invariably come off victorious in these
matches, ana put down the tyrant ma
without any difficulty. Men of literary
pretensions have been foored with
" faccid," fageolet," "ballast," "bal-
ance," privilege" capillary" 500
lossal, correIate," "appall," ard
even little monosyllabic words, nurled
at them by the gentler sex.

THE THREE FISHERS.

Three fishers went sa ling out into the west,
Out into the west as the sun went down;
Each thought the woman who loved him best,
And the children stood watching them out of the
town:
For men must work and women mustEeep,
And there's little to earn, and many to keep,
Though the harbor bar be moaning.
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower,
And they trimmed the lamps as tie sun went
down;
They looked at the squall, and they looked at the
shower,
brown!
But men must work and women must weep,
Though storms be Sudden and waters deep,
I And the harbor bar be moaning.
Three corpses lay out on tie shining sanG-s
In the morning CLEAN as the sun went down,
And the women are weeping and wringlng their
hands
For those who will never come back to the town; /;
For men must work and women must weep,
Ard the sooner it's over the sooner we sleep
And goodbye to the bar and its moaning.

FULoGY OF THE TOAD.
The editor of The American London
writes thus of creature not famed
for it's beauty The toad-although
universally despised and upbraided for
his ugliness--is yet a useful, good
natured, quiet fellow, who recognizes
his friends and those who are kind to
him. We have some half dozen Of
them in our small garden, and among
them one old patriarch who, when we
are digging or hoeing, will sit winking
and blinking at us with his pretty eyes,
and often compel us to lift or drive him
aside to get him out of harms way.
He will stay by us for hours. evidently
feeling tina. he need fear no hurt. Like
the sparrow, the toad has been consid-
cred a nuisance, and in some sections
exterminated but the exterminators
have been only too glad, afterward, to
get him back by the expenditure of
large sums of money. SO useful are
toads in gardens that they are sold in
France by the dozen, for the purpose
of stocking gardens to free them from
many injurious insects. The toad lives
almost entirely on winged insects, and
never does harm to the plant.

Keno Not Correct IN Nevada.

The Nevada legislature has adjourned
in a row, after a session chiefly dis
tiDguished by the election Of Sharon,
who has many more millions than
Jones, 10 the United States senate, ana
the passage of what is called the anti
gambling bill, this measure having
been the cause OF more excitement than
any other business transacted. To
show what is considered an anu-gam-
bling bill in Nevada, we may explain
that the one in question, as really
passed, provided for quarterly tex Of
S4OO on faro games, and $500 on keno
and all other banking games. In
counties with a population of 800.
or less, the quarterly tax was fixed at
$3.50, while gaming was restricted in all
parts Of the state TO back rooms, when
on the first floor. But, by some unex-
planned hocus pocus, the bill, as oerti-
fed by the officers of both houses and
signed by the governor, taxes all games
s4OO per quarter, with no reduction in
thinly populated counties. This is
denounced as unjust discrimination,
while the keno capitalist complain that,
depriviug them Of the incidental pro-
tection afforded in the original bill is
anything but correct,

his weapon was dashed from his hand,
while the owner was dashed to the

bound him, and taking his rescued love

A motherly woman writing in the
Christian Monitor, declares that she
fully agrees with any thoughtful woman
who spares her boys the humiliation of
wearing great round or triangular
patches, when her own skill and gen
erous supply of pieces make the re-
seated pants look almost as well as new
ones. May they hold her in grateful
remembrance, long after they shall
have outlived the era of torn trousers.
She suggests that when pants need re-
pairing over the knee, it is good way
to rip the seems each side of the worn
part, cut it ont and insert a new piece,
pressing it nicely before closing the
side seam again. Neither boy nor man
need be ashamed to wear garments
neatly patched if it be necessary, and
every girl should be taught that mend.

tic economy.
