the earth. Every student Of history has
experienced the difficulty attending the
effort to eliminate the salient facts of
general history from the voIuminous net
work of subordinate facts and details
with which they seem inevitably en-,
tangled. Without something of this
kind to assist in separating the impor-
tant facts of history from the confused
ideas and julnble of unconnected facts,
can we hope to make. accurate progress
in understanding the full record of our
race? This chart shows what is going
on, the world over, in all the nations,
One of the chief features of this work is
what is terriod aynchronism, for here we
find, without the loss of several hours at
a general library, that the founding of
Troy and Athens were eoDtemporaneous
with the Egyptian bondage and the
founding of Thebes by Cadmus. These
also occurred at the time of the first in
PRODUCTION of letters with the Israelites
in the wilderness, the building of the
largest pyramid by Cheops, and the reign
of Saul, the king of the Jews; Zoroaster,
the Persian philosopher, and Hesiod, the
Greek poet. We learn at a glance that
when Solomon was writing his proverbs,
Homer was writing his piece of ancient
Troy; that Lycurgus, the Spartan, law
giver, who made iron legal tender, and
had public tables to which all were in
vited, and abolished all theaters,1 and
luxuries, lived at the same time as Queen
Dido, the founder of Carthage, and the
Prophet Elijah; that. when Isaiah was
prophesying, Romulus was founding
! Rome; that Pythagoras, who invented
the forty-nine problems and multiplica-
tion table, lived contemporaneous with
Solon, who revised the bloody laws of
Draco, and Esop who wrote those wise
and witty fables, and Nebuchadnezzar,
who took the Jews captive, and the
Prophets Ezekiel and Daniel of sacred
history, that Cincinnatus, The Roman
patriot; that Pericles, the greatAthenian.
statesman; Herodotus,.. the father of
history YXerxes, Socrates and Ezra;
Plato, Xenophon and Malachi, lived, at.

A Wonderful Chart.

ONE of the most curious of the recent
arrivals in the Agricultural Building was
received and placed in position in the
chart about twenty-five feet long and
two and one-half feet wide, presenting
in unbroken lines the complete history of
man, including the record of every nation
from the Garden of Eden to the present.
Upon the scale adopted the nations, en-
pires, kingdoms, republics and states;
the manners, customs and dress; the
progress, civilization and discoveries; the
invention of steam, electricity, mechan.
les; the introduction of letters, the prog.
ress of language, the spread of literature;
the names, nationalities and distinguish
ing characteristics of eminent men; the
names and dates of all important battles,
discoveries and Inventions; the rise and
fall of ancient empires, dynasties and
peoples; the names of all the sOverelgns,
emperors, kings, rulers of the earth, and
the duration of their authority; the area,
population and number TO the square
mile to each country, with an epitome of
ancient and modern history, together
with a fac Si1nile of ancient coins,
medals, stones, monuments, obelisks, and
pyramids of Egypt, Syria, Nineyeh and
Babylon; of implements Of warfare and
husbandry, Observation-Disclosures and hero
glyphics; of mythology gods, tenn
pies and priests; of geology-the stone
age, the iron age, the brass or bronzei of
navigation-the compass, the galley and
the clipper ship; Of astronomy-the size,
the distance and number of heavenly
bodies-are all given in their proper sys-
tematic relation to the worlds history.
AS the atlas shows the place where, SO
the chart shows the time when, and the
relative position of one event to another.
In this work the author evidently does
not assume to be responsible for the
facts of history, but gives them simply
as they are found on record in the sew
eral histories of the various nations of

A Grange Barbecue.

What is barbecue? Webster defines
it to roast a hog whole, and he is consd-
cred good authority. For the sake of
your many readers let me try to describe
one at greater length, given by Pine
Grove Grange ItoWas said to be an av-
erage one. When neighbor, decides to
give barbecue committee of, arrange
ments is appointed, subscriptions of
money, provisions, beeves, hogs, sheep,
goats and venison are taken up. Poultry,
bread and cakes are cooked at home by
the ladies of the vicinity and then brought
to the manager of the pit. This consists
OF what might be termed ditch, about
three feet deep, the same wide, and forty
or fifty feet long, which is filed up with
hard wood logs and poles,T then. set on
fire. When well burned TO Goals, poles
from six inches to foot thick are hauled
on both sides, close to the edge of the
pit; by this time the beeves are quartered
and parboiled, nice peeled hahdspikes
of sweet wood are run through the quar-
ters and other animals are placed across
the large poles, care being taken that the
meat touch neither sides nor bottom. In.
twelve or eighteen hours it is cooked.
Coffee is made in large pots or small
sugar-kettles. Plates, cups and saucers,
knives, forks and every requisite are
placed under a large carying-table in the
center of a parallelogram dining g-table,
inclosing about one-elghth of an acre.
Between the carving and dining tables at
either end is small table, where little
boys eat at one and little girls at the
other, and their wants are attended to by
some school-teacher or minister. Some
four feet outside of the main table strong
forks are driveniinto the ground, fresh.
cut pine poles are placed horizontally in d
them, the outside of these arelpeeled and
the fresh pitch, with turpentine, springs
out like heavy perspiration. Then woe.
betide the garment that comes in contact
with it, for it has no respect of persons.
This contrivance saves the police some
trouble, as they have to stand guard
most of the day. They are known by
wearing red ribbon on the left shoulder,
Walters are young or single men, tSand
recognized by wearing blue ribbon on
the left arm; half a dozen expert carvers
cut up the bread and meat There is a
sliding pole near one corner of the square :
so when dinner is announced one Of the
guards runs it back and another counts
as the ladies come in by pairs. When
the complement is in for the number of
plates the pole is replaced and no more
can enter. This prevents any confusion
inside. The speakers platform being
raised, logs are hauled, with the ends
facing the stand, and strong planks laid
across for seats. The whole is placed
under dense forest shade, near cool
spring Of water, SO if all present eannot
enjoy themselves it must be their own

CHEYENNE. Oct. 4

OHH1bNHB, Oct 4.
News from Fort Fetterman states that
on the 9th haying party of twelve men
and seven OK teams were attacked by a
band of twenty or thirty Indians, twenty
t1ve miles from the above post, badly
wounding John Offers, wagon master,
and killing one horse, Two of the party
out hunting about eight o'clock heard
the war song and hastened to the train,
which was Immediately prepared for de-
fense. Four of the men started to find
the Indians, which they did, and made a
lively retreat, hotly pursued by the In
dians to within fifty yards of the train,
when eight men sent a volley into the red
skins, who retreated to the shelter of the
bluff, and commenced firing upon the
train, which was at a disadvantage, and
compelled to move 200 yards, and the
fight continued nearly four hours. The
number of redskins killed is unknown.
Two were seen to drop. Mr., Powell,
contractor, states that the Indians showed
great courage and were armed with Win
chester and army rifles. The telegraph
line between Fetterman and Cheyenne
being cut about that time, it is thought
to have been done by the same band.
Offers is doing nicely, but win undoubt-
edly lose his right arm. "

more than that number by adoption from

showed that the power to conduct current OF
electricity depends, not on the surface, but on
the area OF the cross section. 1t will be re-

doctor said in paper before the farmers in

principally, and it seems stepped on the toes o.
Mr.. Lightnng-rod Agent, and he squeaed con
sderably and tried to disprove the facts stated
at that time, and SINCE proved by the doctor
himself. The whole conclusion is that the hol

than the solid one of the same amount OF ma
material, aud that, as there are two surfaces
exposed to the weather ii must rust out sooner
The farmers need not be gulled by this travel

ence with the mission Office in New York
Nearly all of the ministers OF the Presbytery

sidered one Of mutual interest and profit to the
participants and was adjourned on Tuesday
