A Skeleton Detective,

A physician, in Boston, having his
Office opposite the museum, being an
noyed by some dirty italian peddlers,
who ran in upon him at all hours, laid
the following plan to keep them away :
With human skull fixed on pole,
around which he wrapped an old Office
gown, and animating the whole by the
office boy, a very respectable living
skeleton was produced, which had the
desired effect of ridding the premises OF
the gamins. But another effect was
since produced not entirely anticipated.
The skeleton was set in the closet near
the door for future use. One day re-
Gently the doctor was himself startled
from his front Office by rattling of the
dry bones, followed by on unearthly
yell, as though his ghostship had "taken
on mortality again and rushing out,
the doctor discovered fellow standing
on the floor nearly scared to death. He
had stolen in and opened the closet
door, when the skeleton had suddenly
confronted him, falling against the door.
The fellow was probably sneak thief
and the skeleton saved the doctors best
coat. And now the gamins have it that
the building is haunted.

as the men can get their furloughs.
More than one-half of the men forming
the Russian corps just ordered to the
frontier will be granted leaves of alb
sence at once, and they will Immediately
join their officers already in the Servian
servico. Russia is determined this time,
MS You ought to see by the articles in
her journals, and the power OF England
is not able to stop her in the least. We
do not want war with England; we avoid
it by fanking the situation. Russia
takes no part in the war as nation, but
individual Russians do, and there will
be 25, 600 of them in Servia before the
end of the month. Austria is opposed
to war because she wants possession of
the ports of the Black sea. Do you
suppose that we intend to play into
their hands Take my word for it,,
Russia is now in earnest, however she
may cover up her action by diplomatic
FORMS"
Beyond all question this is the opin.
ion of majority of Russians. and any
thing accomplished at Reichstadt can
not change the current of popular
opinion.

The Sioux Sun Dance.

A number of young braves left Stand
ing Rock, Cheyenne agency and Fort
Peck reservation lately, and joined Sit
ting Bull. Before, however, they could
be accepted, they had to pass through
tho ordeal of the sun dance. These
ceremonies were held in wild canyon
of the Big Horn mountains; and q
graphic description of them has been
given by W. o. Gooding, a young Mas
sachusetts trader. The sun dance COM
menced on the afternoon of the eight
eenth of June; and, from the COM
mencement to the end, two hundred
warriors were not to eat or drink any
thing. Under shades made of cut
boughs, Sitting Bull and other warriors
were gathered to witness the ceremo-
MES. The two hundred young warriors
were ranged around a medicine pole,
their bodies blackened with charcoal,
and wearing nothing but short skirt of
buckskin around their loins, and eagle
feather coronets. They would dance at
intervals of half an hour, and were then
allowed short respite until again called
out by the tomtom. A warrior was sus-
pended from the medicine pole by the
ends of lariat fastened to two thorns
stuck in the flesh OF his back; in each
hand he held long pole. which partial
ly supported him; but every few min
utes he would swing the whole weight
of his body upon the lariat in an effort
to tear the thorns from his flesh. After
hanging for three hours in the glaring
sun he was cut down and carried away.
Another young warrior, who wanted to
show what brave heart he had, lay
down on his face and had six thorns put
in his back and shoulders; then turned
over, and had two more put i'll his
breast, Then, rising to his feet, buffalo
skulls were fastened to the thorns in his
back, and a lariat to those in his breast
and he was made fast to the medicine
pole. The tomtom struck up, and the
Indian begun to dance; and as the skulls
tore out of the flesh one by one, Sitting
Bull and the chiefs would shout theil
appreciation. Then, bracing back til
the lariat pulled his breast out like {
woman's, he danced with renewed vigor
and as the thorns tore from his flesh ant
he had demonstrated terrible pc 7ers o
endurance, the chiefs gave hin lou(
| cheers.

badly afflicted with dyspepsia, liver derapged
and an almost perfect prostration Of the ner

Discovery effect a perfect cure that it eeemed
more like magic and a perfect wonder to my
self, and since that time we have never been
without bottle of Discovery and Purgative

family physician in the house and ready at all
times to fly to the relief of sickness-wlthout

uee of these medicines i'll several severe and
complicated cases arising from, as thought,
an impure state OF the blood, and in no one
case have they failed to more than accomplish
all they are claimed to do. will only mention
one as remarkable (though could give you
dozens). Henry Roster, furniture dealer, of
this place, who was one OF the most pitiful OBJ
jects ever seen, his face swollen out Of shape
scales and eruptions without end, extending to
his body, which WAS completely covered with

him to try few bottles Of the Golden Medical
Discovery, with daily use Of the Pellets. assur-
ing him it would surely cure him. He COM
menced ltS use some Six Weeks since, tahlng &
two Pellets each night for a week, then one
each night and the Discovery as directed. The
result is, to-day his skin is perfectly smooth,
and the scaly eruptions are gone. He has
taken some seven or eight bottles in all, and
considers himself cured. This case had baf-
fed the skill of our best physicians. Messrs.

mand steadily increases, and they give perfect
satisfaction in every case.

The Meanest Woman.

She lives in fashionable quarter of
New York. And this is what she did
and does: In the name of charity she
gave out some dressmaking to the in
mates ofAone of the institutions for re-
forming and saving women supposed to
be lost. When the work was done, this
fashionable and charitable lady was not
ready to pay the bill, which amounted
to the enormous sum Of &12. The same
work, if it had been done at fashion
able dressmaker's, would have cost her
$25 or perhaps $50. She had no COM
plant to make of the manner in which
the work was done; but she haggled
about the price, and, as she gave out
the work in charity, she thought, prob
ably, that the charity should be extend
ed to her and not to the poor sewing
woman who had earned the money. One
month passed away, and another, and
six more, while this wealthy and chari-
table woman, with one excuse and an
other, put off paying the. poor girl who
was seeking to earn an honest living
and turn from her evil ways. But she
could not get her hard earned money
from this lady patroness. Finally, in
despair, she had recourse to the law, by
the aid of an agency of which 1 win
write to you, and the prospect of expo
sure in the character of fraud brought
the lady to terms, and she paid the full
amount! And have styled her the
meanest woman in New York. If any
one knows of meaner men or women
than they are who defraud in the name
of charity, who do wickedness under the
pretense of benevolence, let them men
ton the facts, and will modify the
opinion. So writes "Iren@us, in the
New York Observer.
