Punch with Care.

The ingenious and dishonest conduc-

horse railroad companies. Two have
been arrested in Philadelphia and bound

The Indian Herald, an understood
sheet published in the Indian Territory,
espouses the red mans cause in the sew
eral languages, such as Choctaw, Arapa-
hoe, Cherokee, etc., as well as English.
In late issus it gave vent to the follow
ing in the regular "United States''
tongue:
The people of the United States can
not afford to descend with closed wings
upon these heathens, and as rapacious
bird of prey snatch 250,0O0 souls from
this continent for the sake of withhold
ing the few millions of money now due
the several tribes, nor for the sake of
possession of their lands, or for any
other purpose. The soldiers who were
butchered on Little Big Horn river were
worth many times more than the multi
tude of dead-beats, thieves, gamblers
and scoundrels that compose nine-tenths
of the white population Of the Black

How to Get a Suit Of Clothes.


The tailor's bill of the shrewd tramp
is paid by the county in this wise: One
of the dodgers in the Cumberland station
house, Maryland, stripped himself last
week, rent his vermin covered garments,
laid them in pile in the corner of his
cell, and set fire to them. Puffs of
ill-savored smoke escaped from the win
dow, and the officers rushsing in found
him coaxing the embers. There was q
scamper for pals, but before water could
be brought the old clo' were reduced to
ashes. The tramp was willing to do
anything to oblige the authorities. He
would stay in the station house all sum-
mer and board at the county's expense;
he would set out on his travels stark
naked through the village; or he would
take new suit of clothes without refer
ence to the cut. He got the clothes.

One commendable popularity of Com
modore Vanderbilt is that he will not
take any stimulant or opiate, to miti-
gate pain; for he prides himself upon
keeping his brain clear now as he has
always done, and his long life has been
in part due to his temperate habits.
When his regular physician, DR.. Linsky
urged him one day to take some brandy,
he replied, ''Nol should be ashamed
to go into the presence of my maker
under the influence of liquor . which is
quite an original idea, but one that does
him great credit. He knows that he
cannot recover from the combination of
chronic disorders under which he Iabors
the failure of the kidneys to perform
their functions being one of fthese-but,
while anxious to linger as long as possi-
BILE, he processes himself resigned to die.
The doctors say that he is in no more
danger of dying now than he has been
for month past, and that he may
live for weeks or even months longer.

The Backward Habit Of the Japanese.

The japanese habit Of reversing ev-
erything, if we may regard our own
ways of doing as the proper ways, is
very curious and in some of its details
very interesting. Mr.. Griffis, in his
work on Japan, discusses it thus:
s'Another man Is planning. He pulls
the plane toward him. notice black
smith at work. He pulls the bellows
with his feet, while he is holding and
hammering with both hands. He has
several irons in the fire, and keeps his
dinner-pot boiling with the waste flame.
His whole family, like the generations
before him, seem to 'all get their living
in the hardware line.' The cooper
holds his tub with his toes. All of them
sit down while they work. How strangel
Perhaps that is an important difference
between European and an Asiatic.
One sits down to his work, the other
stands up to it. Why is it that we do
things contrarywise to the Japanese?
Are we upside down, or they? The
Japanese say that we are reversed.
They call our penmanship scrab-writ-
ing because, say they, it goes back

the page like crawfish, instead of GO
ing downward properly In Japan
ese stable we find the horses flank
where we look for his head. Japanese
screws screw the other way. Their
locks thrust to the left ours to the right.
The baby toys Of the Aryan race squeak
when squeezed; the Turanian gimcracks
emit noise when pulled apart. A Cau-
casian, to injure his enemy, kills him;
Japanese kills himself to spite his foe.

The Bitter Lakes OF Egypt.

M. de Lesseps communicated last
week paper to the academy of science
In London, on the Bitter Lakes OF the
Isthmus Of Suez. One of them has a
salt bank in its center, and one of the
chief problems connected with it was
whether this vast basin could be pro.
vided with sufficient supply of water,
and how long the operation would take
in consequence of the evaporation and
the absorption OF the soil dried up for
centuries past. M. de Lesseps states
that no difficulty whatever was expert
enced; the lake had received, in round
numbers, |, 800, 900, 900 of cubic meters
in the course of seven months, from the
18th of March TO the oath of October,
1869. But long before the lakes were
inundated theoretical writers had pre-
dicted they would be dried up again by
the action of the sun, it being impossible
to supply sufficient water by the two
branches Of the canal, the sections of
which were too narrow. The proper
ton of salt contained in the water rose
considerably from the beginning, and
although the soundings taken at various
periods showed that the dissolution of
the salt-bank was the principal cause of
this increase, there was still much doubt
about it. The last investigations, how
ever, prove that the dissolution con-
tinues, and that the proportion of salt is
visibly diminishing, Notwithstanding
this process, combined with the effects
of evaporation. How can the phenome-
non be explained? 1t can only be done
by the currents. The considerable diff.
ference existing between the waters OF
the Bitter lakes and those Of the cx-
tremeties of the canal must create
ground currents by which the heavier
waters go to the sea, while the surface
currents carry lighter waters to the
lakes in order to make up for the loss by
evaporation. A practical conclusion
NAV be drawn from these results. which
only confirm the principle Of equilibrium
of vessels communicating with each
other it is this, that comparatively
small orifice suffices TO prevent vast
sheets of salt water, however far from
the sea, concentrating under the solar
influences in hot countries.
