miles from Buford. On her return for the
balance of the cargo, the Indians were found
to have destroyed most of the grain, and at
this point the Indians attacked the Far West.

panys of soldiers. The Indians stood on
both banks of the river and, with oaths,
dared the Colonel with his troops 10 leave the

they disappeared from the south bank. Dave
Campbell, pilot of the Far West, with two

an exciting race for the boats. The horse of

Moore, went to assist the party. Moore
threatened to court martial these men, but
did not do so. His conduct is denounced
as cowardly.

M. Bourbouze, of the Surbonne,
Paris, has discovered q method of
telegraphing without the use of
wires, by means of the electric cur
rents passing through the earth,
and has completely demonstrated
its feasibility. In a recent expert
ment, two iron stakes were driven
into the ground at a distance of
abort ten meters eleven yards) and
connected by a wire to which was
attached a galvanometer. The nee
die of the instrument remained mo-
tionless while the stakes were at the
same depth, but as soon as one was
driven further into the soil than the
other it was visibly DETECTED, and
indicated the presence of a strong
current of telluric electricity be-
tween the stakes. So strong, indeed
was the current so produced, with
out any battery and with the sim
plest Of apparatus, that NJ. Bour-
bonze has for months utilized it in
operating a machine that rings his
bells and discharges other similar
duties, A similar result has been
obtained by connecting the wires
of the galvanometer with wall or
stream of water at one extremity,
and gas jet, or even the earth at
! the other.

A WESTERN FAT Boy was trans
ferred last Friday from the Erie
broad gauge to narrow gauge train
of the Lehigh Road at Waterly. His
name is David Navarro, and he halls
from Illinois. He was on his way
to the Centennial, where he will be
exhibited. His parents, who are
both small people, accompanied him.
This Western fat boy is fourteen
years and six months old, and weighs
475 pounds. He is six feet and sew
en- inches tall, measures three feet
and four inches across his shoulders
and girts six feet and seven inches
around his hips. He occupied the
whole aisle as he walked through
the car, and it was too warm for any
other passenger to sit in seat with
him. A fiat car with a spring plat
form wagon on it would have been
the proper equipage for him. He
will be bigger show than the $1O,-
600 OK would have been had he lived
to reach Philadelphia. --Biaghamtom

AMERICAN SILK MANUFACTURE

AMERICAN SILK MANUFAcTURE.-
Some interesting facts in regard to
the comparatively new silk industry
were brought out at the annual
meeting of the Silk Association of
America, held in New York City a
few weeks ago. The total value of
American silk goods manufactured
in 1875 was S27 ,15S, ,071. The Amer
ican silk ribbons manufactured were
valued at $807 1856, and the value of
imported silk ribbons was only $2,-
984, ,271. American manufactures of
sewing silks and twist are stated to
be competing successfully with Eng
lish manufactures i'll the Canadian
markets. Steps were taken to estab-
lish conditioning bureau in New
York to determine the amount of
moisture in raw silk, which is sold
by the pound and is very sensitive
to moisture. The Secretary's report
states that the year 1875 was the
most prosperous year that the silk
industry in America has ever expert
enced, if considered in respect to
the quantity Of raw material con-
sumed and the amount of labor en-
ployed in silk manufacture.

easy to convert Mongolian as to

nit that he never knew O Chinaman

Those who are still further advanced

The President has begun to par
don the convicted whisky thieves.
Seven store keepers and gaugers
have been turned loose in Indiana
within forty-eight hours. These
fellows are among the small fry and
their release is unimportant, save as
it indicates policy which will, per-
haps, lead to the pardon of such
notable offenders as Mckee and
Avery. A petition for Avery has
been circulating for some time and
has received a good many signatures
and it is now announced that Sec
ond paper appeal for Mckee is be-
fore the Attorny- General.

A Quaker having had bag of golden
eagles stolen from his counter while he
stepped into his back room but mo-
ment, never mentioned his loss to a
single soul, but quietly bided his time.
Several months afterwards neighbor,
being in his Office, carelessly asked if
he'd ever heard anything of that bag of
eagles that he'd lost. "Ah, John!'
exclaimed the Quaker, "thou art the
thief, or thou couldst not have known
anything about it," The shrewd old
fellow was right, ana the gold was re-
stored, with interest.

MEN of genius are not unfrequent-
ly ashamed of their early efforts and
productions; which, of course, are
usually very crude; for it is by many
stages of developement that the
germ of mental achievement reaches
its most perfect power. The follow
ing amusing anecdote is related Of
the celebrated painter, Washington
Allston:
1t is said that not many years af-
ter he took rank among the masters
of of his art, picture was presented
him one day for examination.
"What is your opinion? Speak
out freely, | pray you," said the per-
son to him.
Allstone declined; he was really
unwilling.
The other insisted. cit wakthe
work of young friend. He really
must have Mr.. Al opinion. !"
Why" said the reluctant paint
er, placing it in variety of posi-
tons, "it is a queer thing, very
queer thing"
But does it not indicate talent?''
said the other
"Well, then" said tn, painter,
to deal plainly with you, it is a
wretched affair. There is no ground
for hope. not even for hope. Let
him give up the idea. He never ca,
make painter"
1T was painted by yourself"
"No! impossible!
cit was. Look, there is your
name; and here, see, here is the
date; only seven years ago, you per
/ ceiye."

Men fear death as children fear the
dark; as that natural fear in children
is increased by frightful tales, so is
the other. Groans,- commissions,
weeping friends, and the like, show
death terrible; yet there is no pas
sion so weak but conquers the fear
of it, and, therefore, death is not
such terrible enemy. Revenge
triumphs over death, love sighs at
it, honor aspires to it, dread of shame
prefers it, grief flies to it, and fear
anticipates it.-Bacon
