Southwestern territory, now forming the
States of Louisiana and Texas, at the time
of Aaron Burr's treason. The characters
lived in a section which was 0 Ameri-

this record of their adventurous lives
makes a story of intense and %unf1agging
interests throughout.

Their East Conference.

When Senator Tom Corwin was ap- pointed Secretary of the Treasury by President Fillmore, Clay called upon him with the request that he should give the position of treasurer of tho depart ment to his old, firm, and true political friend John Sloane, who for"many years ably represented a leading district of Ohio in the Lower House of Congress. The Secretary declined making the ap- pointment, which the great Senator, with all his persuasive powers and eloquence, urged upon him. The appointment still being refused, the great Kentuckian said, "Tom, never should have thought you could treat your old friend ill this style. |" Grasping his old political leader by the hand, the Secretary remarked, "My old friend, the. reason why said that could not make this appointment was that I had already made it." "Thc Great Commoncr," whose career was drawing to Il close, burst into tears, and with the remark, "Tom, God bless you! l thank you for this last favor shall ever ask, 7" the conference closed.

Simple Dyspepsia Remedies.

Dyspepsia arises from great variety of causes, and different persons aro re- licv0d ny different remedies, according to the nature of tho disease and condition of the stomach.

Coffee and tobacco nre probably tho worst substances persons troubled with dyspepsia arc i'll the habit of using, and should ho avoided. Regular eating of nourisl,ing plain food, and the use of some simple remedies like tho above, will effect in most cases quicker cures than medicine. -t ,S

Just Like Them.

X ball ill Santa Fc, Texas, was attended by the members of the best society in tho place, but an incident showed that border uaaGes are not confined to border ruflians. George Stone, the son of the leading lawyer, and John Collier, the son of the leading physician, were among tho dancers and Miss Townley, regarded as tho hundsomest young lady in Santa Fc, was there, too. She is coQucttc, and that night she accomplished the common feminine exploit of making each of two admirers believe that he was most agree ablo. At last thoir attentions clashed, and, without word of controversy, Col Her drew his revolver and fired ut Stone, the bullet making a terrible wound in the shoulder. Tine wounded man nt once shot his assuilant dead. As both lay on the floor unconscious, Miss Townley dropped tho coquetry that had made tho deadly trouble, and revealed her prefer cnce for Collier by throwing herself wildly upon his dead body. Stone will recover.

The Group Among Children.

This is QUO of the most common mala- dies of earl y childhood, says ,SciCncc of XcGith. Scrofulous and plothoric chil- dren are most subject to 1t. All "rich' (gross) kinds of food predisposo to 1t, n8 candies, sweet cakes, greasy admlXturcs, fried dishes etc.
 The earl ly symptoms mc wlecHy in spiration, with somo difficulty of breath ing, without fever, soon followed by the shrill, ringing inspirations and oppressed breathing, which are peculiar to the dis ease. The patient now mallifosts tho low, or typhoid, form of fever, which is one essential accompaniment. After n few hours or days, the symptoms will gradnl- ally disappear, or the patient will die of exhaustion or sutfocation.
 The essential point in the successful treatment of croup, is to check the cxudn- tion into the windpipe, md prevent the formation of what is called Il falso mem branc, as this must necessarily be de- tlched from the mucous surface, and if it is not expelled through the nrrow glottis, tho patient must bo inevitably choked to death.
 Tho throat must be cnveloped in cold wet cloths, the colder the better, and often renewed until the pretcrnatrral heat is s,lbdued. In extreme cases, pounded ice is better. If the surface is hot and feverisll, tcpid-nblutions arc in dicated, as in the hot stage of all fcvers and inhammations. If tho superficial heat is unequal, and the cxtremitics in clincd te coltIncss, tho warm bath aud hot applications to the feet nrc necessary. The approximation of tho adhesive cxcrc- tion may be facilitated by means of sips of warm water and the vnpor or steam of hot water. Thc carly treatment should always be prompt and vigorous, ns, in most cases, tho result depends on arrest ing the morbid oXcrction at once.

4 usually placid and very dcvout den- con on going to his sheep yard one emorn- tug caught n large dog in the act of wor rying tho sheep. The deacon dispatched the dog on the spot, and leaving tho car cass where the dog fell, started for the house. He had gone but q little way when his indignation became so aroused by the thought of the mischief the dog had done that, seizing slod-stakc, he ran back and began to pound tho lifclcss carcass of the dog i'll n most energetic manner. Just then noighbor came up, and, surprised at the conduct of the dea- con, exclaimed
 "Why, deacon, what are you pound ing that dog SO for! He's dead"
 The deacon paused, and turning to his intcrrogator, gravely and solemnly replied:
 "Im pounding him as an example and warning to all bad dogs, that they may be dctcrrod from their evil ways by a Knowledge that thero is punishment after death.

The men did net have tho $t20O required, and suggested to Mrs. Clemens if she had the amount to leud it to tho man, as inc was all right, and the watches were worth double the amount She replied that she only had $l60. That amount w,rs handed to the stranger, who, in turn, handed over the "golu watches, which woro safely locked i'll tin box.

4 Narrow Escape.

Counselor Lawrence of San Francisco is so ncar-sightcd that with glasses on he cannot ace anything until it comes within three or four feet, and without them he can sec nothing far or near. While walk ing to his office he was startled by the muzzlc of pistol suddenly ohtruded within tho limited space of his vision, and he lodged so suddenly as to throw off his spectacles. Left thus sightlcss, with the dread probability that Il bullet was about to enter him, Mir. Lawrence plunged around in a wild cndcavor to grab the assailant. Ho caught the skirts of woman, and held her so fast that tho pistol was discharged harmlcaaly in the air. She proved to be tho defendant ill q case that he had prosecuted, and she had intended to kill him.

< Horse that Thinks.

The Newbulrg Journal relates the fol lowing A gentleman living ill the sub urls has young colt, which he values highly, not only on account of his pos scaaing pure blood and great degree of speed, but for his intelligence. In com mon with the other stock in the stable, he is fed his hay from a crib on tho side of tho building. It hml been noticed that, while all the other animals left Q small quantity of fine bay and hny-sced in the further end of the crib, which could not be reached, the bars only per hitting them to get their noses in n short distance, this horse always had his eaten clean. On being watched it was discov- cred that the colt would catch up the slack of his ropo halter in his teeth, so that it formed q loop, and thrllsting it between the bars, he was ablo to push it to the back part of the crib, and, by drawing it out again, to drag with it, where he could reach it, the part of the feed referred to. Thus 1t was the crib was always clean The way he handles the rope is said to be skillful and saga clollS in the extreme.

Railways in Great Britain.

According to n recent report made to the British Board of Trade by Capt. Tyler, an inspector of the railways of tho United Kingdom, the average divi- dcnd made in 1873 by tho companies was five per cent. on ordinary capital, wIilo the nvcragN earnings were 46 per cent. "3y the running of trains over a distance of 197 ,351, 749 miles," says the report, " :G55, 675, ,421 were received during tho year, of which G30, ,O6O, 112 were expended in working and main tcnMce, and G25, 615, 309 remained as net profit; SO that 54 DOT cent. of the gross receipts were expended in earning them" What uso the balance was put to after making five per cont. dividend out of 46 per cent. not earnings is not stated. The average cost per milo of working trains was 36 shillings 57-100, while the net profits were 3l shillings n-100 per milo. The report also says that 1G,0S3 miles of railway were laid down at tho enormous outlay of 936,- 800 per milo, or about $180, 900. When it is stated that American ronds cost from $40,000 to S75, ,O00 per mile, according to the nature of tho work, it will be seen what immense sums English capi- tnlists think necessary to lay out upon the mere construction of lines.
