INDIGNANT MRS. MYERS.

Early Monday morning a woman
about fifty years old, having large bun
die under one arm ard satchel, with
both handles gone, under the other, ap-
peared at the Central depot and asked
what train went to the Centennial.
'Going to Philadelphia, eh 2" asked
one of the officials.
''That's where I'm bound for, my son,
she replied. eyes; going right down
there to see the old hogs pistol, old
shoes, big machinery and Mr.. Krupp's
cannon"
She went aboard the Canada Southern
train, waited patiently until the cars
moved away, and at the lower end of
the depot she waved her hand at the ex-
pressman and called out:
"Going right down to see the hull
caravan !"
About mid-afternoon she was seen
again in the depot, having just descen-
ded from the way car on freight train.
Two OF three persons who had seen her
rolling away in the morning halted her
as she toiled through the long depot,
and one of them said:
"What back again 2"
IT seem to be here, don't I ?" she
grimly answered.
''But I thought you started for the
Centennial -
$50 I did. Right in this bundle are
my Sunday clothes, and right in this
satchel are provisions for a hull week. I
was all right till the railroad conductor
came along to my seat and wanted pay.
Pay Why, I'd see him in Jericho and
Jerusha first ! What's the Centennial
for? Who owns it ? Doesn't it belong
to all of us? Haven't the papers invited
everybody to go %

said.

she went on. 81 always save up fifty

THE GRAVE OF CAPT. JOHN SMITH

The GRAVE OF CAPT. JOHN SMITH. =
A Virginia lady now in London writes
with some Indignation to the Richmond
Dispatch concerning the neglected tomb
OF Capt. John Smith. His remains lie
under the old church of st. Sepulchere,
which stands in the very heart of Lon
don, anu the exact situation of the tomb
is thus described : ssOne flag paved
aisle divides tbs nave another crosses
it near the eastern end. The two en-
frances are at the extremities of the
cross-aisIe. In this cross aisle, near the
cintersection, large slab covers the
grave of Capt. John Smith, the pioneer
hero of Virginia. The tranpling feet
of eight generations have in $50 years
utterly cultivated whatever incriptions
or epitaph recorded his deeds and vir
tues. Not letter remains. One NOR
sci of carving, sheltered by its proxim-
ity to the pews, alone serves to identi-
fy the stone. But this Identification is
beyond dispute. It consists of the up
per dexter corner of shield containing
the ta:e9 Turks heads, wIsieh Smith was
permitted to bear in his coat-of-arms af-
ter he had, in three single combats,
slain the Turkish champion, Bonny Null
gro and his two companions. The re-
mainder of the shield has, like the in
scription. vanished

A WONDERFUL ALABAMA LAkE.-The
following is from the Montgomery Ala. }
Bulletin cat the Dickinson Place, on
Dullard Greek, near Six-mile Station, is
a ten-acre field which is nothing more or
less than subteranean lake, covered
with soil about eighteen inches deep.
On the soil is cultivated q field of corn,
which Will produce thirty or forty bush
els to the acre. If any one will take the
trouble to dig hole the depth of a
spade-handle he viii find it to fill with
water, and by using ahook and line, fish
four and five inches long can be caught.
These fish are different from others in
not having either scales or eyes, and are
perchike in shape. The ground is black
mari, alluyial in it's nature, and in all
probability at one time it was an open
body of water, on which was accumulat-
ed vegetable matter, which has been in
creased from time to time, until now it
has a crust sufficiently strong and rich
to produce fine corn, though it has to be
cultivated by hand as it is not strong
enough to bear the weight OF horse.
While nooning the field-hands catch
great strings of delicate fish by merely
punching a hole through the earth. A
person rising on his heel and coming
down suddenly can see the growing corn
shake all round him. Any one having
the strength TO drive rail through this
crust will find, on releasing it, that it
will disappear entirely. The whole sec
ton of country surrounding this field
gives evidence of marshiness, and the
least rain produces an abundance of
mud. But the question comes up, Has
not this body an outlet? Although
brackish the water tastes as if fresh, and
We have 10 doubt that it is anything
else than stagnant. Yet the fish are eye
less and scaleless- similar to those found
in caves. Tt is subject for study, and
we would like to have some of our pro-
found citizens investigate it.

& BASE TRICK.-Strange often re-
mark that Detroit ladies seem to have q
great fondness for carrying gold watch
es, and any person walking ten blocks
on Woodward or Jefferson avenues viii
see, If it is a fine day, at least 100 ladies
with gold chains hanging down to the
watch pocket. But is the watch there !?
On Woodward avenue car yesterday
there were half dozen ladies and only
one gentleman. Satan must have put
him up to DO a mean thing. Taking out
his watch he looked st it, shook it, sigh
ed heavily and said
'sOught to have been cleaned week
ago. VIII you please give me the time?'
The lady addressed had on a magniti-
sat down again, and whispered
"My-my watch ISIS out of order. ="
s'You have the time, perhaps ?" he
asked of the next.
"Y-yes, sir-it's 10 O'clock" she re-
piled, looking out of the window.
s'Does your time agree with that % he
asked of the third.
81 believe so,' she coldly replied,
though she we'll knew that her chain was
pinned to her dress.
3sAnd what does your watch say ?" he
smilingly asked of the fourth.
''It's q little slow, Think" she an
swered, drawing her shawl closer.
The fifth lady had a watch, and fine
one, too. She drew it out, made as much
display as possible and called out:
s'Ten minutes after H."
The gentleman smiled, the other four
ladies bit their lips and scowled, and
the driver shook up the lines and called
out:

OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT OF GERMAN
MERCHANTS IN THE SoUTH.-The fol-
lowing will give some idea of how rebels
are trying to run matters il the South i:
INDIANAPoLIs, Sep. 9th, 1876.
The Journal publishes q letter from
New Orleans, in which the condition
and brutal treatment of German mer-
chants in the interior ofthe State is
graphically set forth. Il says that in
nearly all the parishes the little coun-
try stores are conducted by Germans,
who are well behaved and thrifty. This
condition is exasperating to the young
growth of aristocrats, and the offspring
Of what used to be known as ''the poor
white trash" Separate OF combined
these classes detest peaceful and thrifty
Industries. It seems, according to this
correspondent, that the prosperity of
these German store keepers as well as
their dealings with the negroes in le-
gitimate way, have caused the white
chivalry to form what are called Greg
ulators,' who have served notice on the
storekeepers to stop trading with the
colored people, under penalty Of hav-
ing their goods and stores burned.
When compliance has been refused, the
threat has been fulfilled. In fact, the
merchants have been prosecuted SO Bit
terly that the German government has
advised emigrants to avoid Louisiana,
and its representatives in New Orleans
have instituted inquiries which have
substantiated the many charges made.
AS result, the Germans in New Orleans
have formed themselves into Republi-
can Clubs in nearly every ward in the
city, with an alliance with the Working
mems Union for offence and defence and
this in opposition to their political
course, which has been heretofore Dem
ocratic.

AS USUAL, the Democrats around the
bulletin boards were noisy, blufy and
arrogant, and claimed everything as a
glorious victory. They always remind
me of friend of mine with whom I
frequently played the sinful game of
sledge. Atthe conclusion of each hand,
he would remark with calm confidence,
"Well, I made high, low, jack and the
game" and then I would have to set to
work and argue him out of all The points
[ had happened to make. There is one
advantage about this mode of procedure,
it gives the one practicing it the best
show for the doubtful points.

Wo Drive 0ur Horses to Excess,

by driving to excess we mean that
horses arc pulled and hauled, jerkcd
and twitchcd too much with the
rcins. There is too much guiding
with the lines. Concerning this
subject, the Prairie Farmer says
(in truth) that the "most vicious and
incxcusable style of driving is the
manner which so many drivers adopt,
to-wit; wrapping the lines around
their hands and pulling the horses
backward with all their might and
main, so that the horse, in point Of
fact, feels the weight back of him,
with his mouth, and not with Ills
hrpast and shoulders, This they do
under the impression that such q
dead pull is needed in order to
steady the horse.
"rhe fact is, with rare exceptions,
there should never be any pull upon
the horse at all. A steady pressure
is allowable, probably advisable;
but anything beyond this has no JUS
tification in nature or reason. For
nature suggests the utmost freedom
Of tho action Of the head, body and
limbs, in older that the animal may
attain the highest rate of speed. In
speeding horse the limos need sell
dom DO graspcd IN both hands when
the road Is straight and free from
distractions. The true way to drive
is to let the horse drive himself, the
driver doing little but directing him
and giving him that confidence
which horse gets in himself only
when he feels that guide and friend
is back of him."

An excellent sauce for roast beef
is thus made: Crate horseradish on

spoonfuls of cream, with y little mus
tard and salt, mix well together, add
four tablespoonfuls of the best vine

Tho vinegar and cream are both to

TO make an cfiicacious wash for

Put one drop in the eye and keep it
there rs long rs possible. If the eye
is badly inhamed, repeat the opera

which repeat two or three times u

Gan GIeuders 30 Cured?


To deny that certain number Of
cases of CHAMBERS recovery would be
rather reckless assertion in tho face
of occasional instances of recoveries,
aud of the frequent recovcries from
farcy, which is but the same disease
with its local manifestations confined
to the skin. On the other hand, it
must be acknowledged that recover
les from acute CHAMBERS or farcy in
horses are very rare indeed, and that
of apparent recoveres from chronic
CHAMBERS large proportion are IN
reliable, as the disease breaks out
again whenever the animal is put to
hard work. In the interval between
the apparent cure and the relapse the
horse is allowed by the over conf
dent owner to mingle with other
horses, and many instances might be
adduced of the destruction of whole
studs by CHAMBERS contracted from
the subjects of such alleged cures.
Considering this, together with the
fact that the loathsome, painful and
fatal disorder is communicated to
man by incubation, there is good
ground for questioning the enonomy
or morality af treating even chronic
CHAMBERS. Among tho remedies
which have at different times sue
ceeded might be mentioned n long
list of tones; but perhaps the best is
the arsenite of strychnia, in doses of
five grains daily. Bisulphate of soda
may be added In drachm doses, twice
daily. The fumes of burning sulphur
may be inhaled at the same intervals,
for half an hour or more at 4 time,
care being taken net to h4Ye it so
concentrated as to cause irritation,
coughing or sneezing. Finally the
engagements under the jaws may be
rubbed daily with iodine ointment, to
be stopped when the skin becomes
very tender.
A comfortably dry box and per-
fectly pure air, with sound and high
ly nourishing diet, are all important.
In summer the patients do best in the
open air, on rich grass. If kept in
doors they should have regular exer-
else, but no work. Such exercises
should be given in private, secluded
place; no glandered horse should ever
be allowed in public thoroughfare,
since speck from his nose in snort
ing or coughing may cost the life of
a human being. The need for care
of brides, buckets, sponges, litter,
ETC., is selfevident,-Rrct, Za'o, i"
