The Digger Indians.

How They LIvE-THEIR CLOTHING,
FooD AND HABITs.-A correspondent Of
the Santa Rosa, Cal. Times, says Their
wigwams are built throughout of redwood
bark, and are round in shape, which can bet
ter be explained by saying that they are in
the shape of bowl upside down, with a
smaller one placed, also upside dova, OF top.
There are no windows, and ss.de from the
aperture entrance, which is about two fess
square, and small opening at the top to
allow the smoke to escape, there is no
opening to this conical shaped enclosure.
To enter one of these huts it becomes me-
cessary to get down and crawl in. Once
inside strange sight greets the eye. The
majority of both sexes 50 perfectly naked,
and being scrupulously particular, each
one does his or her own cooking. They
sleep in circle in hollow places in the
ground, with feet to the centre. The
cooking apparatus, which consists of good
sized rocks followed out, is In convenient
reach, and the Digger need not rise to
prepare his breakfast. The food consists
of bread made from acorns, which are
first buried, then roasted, then pulverized,
and lastly mixed up with water and baked.
The bread is said to be very nourishing.
Their mode Of preparing squirrel, hare,
etc., is to take them just as when killed,
pound them to jelley and then roast
them. Another article Of food very conf
mon with them is known as the "fish worm. I"
The Digger is an inveterate gambler, and
theprinciple game isvery simple, consisting
in holding both hands behind him, in one
of which Is stick, while another bets he
can tell in which hand he holds it. It is
stated that they scorn cheating, and, after
the bets are made never change the stick
from one hand to the other. The money
consists Of little round shells with a hole
in the centre, which one Of their number
is selected to manufacture. No counter
feiting is ever attempted. Each shell rep
resents about half a cent Of American
money, and is taken by their tribe as
greedily as gold, A string of this money
can be seen at this Office, and ii is wonder.
full how uniform these buttons can be made
by simply rubbing them on stone with the
hand.

The Old Flint-Lock.

The Richmond Wing says AN elder
y man named Beckwith, residing in one
Of the Peninsula counties, came to this
city last Thursday on business. He brought
with him an ld-fashioned fint-lock rife
TO have a stock and lock put on. On the
cars be fell in conversation with party of
three gentlemen from this city, when one
of them to test the reality Of some of the
extraordinary feats Of craftsmanship he
boasted Of offered him ten dollars 10 re-
peat some of them, 10 which the other two
added Eve dollars between them. The
trial came of in an old field half mile
below Rockets, aud was witnessed by about
dozen persons.
The old fint-lock was fired seven times,
and only once missed its elm. The old
gentleman, after making Two shJts at small
objects to one side, TO get his hand steady,
as he said, handed his son potato, and
stationed him at fifty yards distance, hold
ing the patato between his thumb and
forefnger. The rife cracked, and the po-
tato fell cloyen in three or four pieces.
One Of the larger pieces was then thrown
in the air, the marksman keeping at the
same distance, and again the shot told
An inch and half auger was then pro-
duced, and hole bored In the fence, be-
hind which was fastened piece Of white
paper. AT the distance Of sixty yards the
marksman sent a ball clear through the
aperture, piercing the paper. At the
fourth shot, from 60 yards distance, the
bowl Of pipe which the son was smoking
was crushed. At the fifth shot a copper
cent was thrown in the air and hit. The
sixth aud seventh shots were delivered at
a blaekened fve-cent nickel piece thrown
up by the son, Standing about thirty yards
off, At the first attempt the shot missed.
The old gentleman showed considerable
modification, and laid the blame upon a
bystander, who at this critical moment
sneezed loudly. The next attempt, how
ever, was an entire success. The old man
declined any further trials Of his skill, and
when offered sum Of money to repeat his
fst feat Of shooting potato from his
sons hand, he refused, saying he didn't
care to try such experiments unless his
weapon was freshly cleaned. The exhibit
ton was the more remarkable from the
fact that the marksman was an old man,
at least fifty. His eye, however is clear,
bright gray. His appearance is that of a
poor farmer. The young man showed no,
the least tremor nor anxiety during the
dangerous experiment upon himself. The
old man, referring to his son, said, "Bob
can shoot just as well as l can"

A novel and interesting surgical opera.
ton was performed few weeks ago, in
Baltimore, upon the eyes Of a patient who
had been seriously injured three years pre-
viously from the effects Of caustic lime,
which had eaten away the thin covering
of the eyeballs and eyelids. When the
inflammation subsidized, the eyeballs and
eyelids were found firmly grown together,
thereby rendering him totally blind
Heretofore the operation Of cutting through
the adhesions availed nothing, as the raw
parts could not be prevented from again
growing together. To overcome this ten
dency, the physician who performed the
operation adopted the novel method Of
facing the raw under surface of the lid by
taking the smooth, delicate lining Of a
white rabbits eye, which resembles very
closely that Of the human subject This
delicate skin was transferred Immediately
from the rabbits eye TO the raw surface Of
the lid of the patient, and was very
carefully sewed into its. new position.
The rabbits membrane viii attach itself
by growth to the inner surface Of the eye
lid, and prevent any further sticking Of
the eve aud lids together.
