dollar contributed goes directly to the relief
of the poor, without being pared down a
particle Any member NAV recommend de-
serving people, and on their reeommenda-
ton visitors call and ascertain the exact cir
cumstanees. They get the number in the
family, its earnings, and what they most
need. Then the head gets a ticket, and, on

How the Sioux Fight.

1t awakens very lively interest in
the typographical features of the coun-
try, when you know that any hill or ra-
vine may conceal party of the enemy.
There is little rear or front in the usual
Indian fight. In fact it is all front, for
they circulate on all sides, and shoot
from every point which offers n place Of
concealment. When the Sioux attacked
Gen. Crook in the valley of the Rose
bud, Just before the Custer disaster, the
fire opened in the rear, front and fanks,
within five minutes of the time the first
shots were heard. There are no non
combatants in such an affair. One
place Is as safe or unsafe as another,
and every man who has a gun goes in
to use it if he wishes to save his scalp.
1t is entirely a mistake, however, that
only the cavalry are of use in Indian
fighting. Tue infantry carrying rifles
which shoot closer and further than the
cavalry carbine, have driven the Indians
from positions which cavalry were una
bic to carry. These savages understand
the difference between the infantry and
cavalry gun, as well as the men who
carry them; but they will make bold
stand against both. Artillery, however,
is the thing that demoralizes them. Let
a shell explode among a lot of rocks in
which they have been making stand
against the musketry, and there will not
an Indian remain a moment longer than
is sufficient for him to Jump and run.
Brave as the Sioux are, and they are the
bravest of their race, they will never
stand against field guns: but, with
small arms alone, it is the opinion of
officers here who have fought them, that
it requires man to man to thoroughly
thrash them. This may seem strange
talk to people who have been accus-
toned to believe that one white man
was equal to any three Indians, but 1
give the opinion of gentlemen of un-
questioned courage who are thoroughly
acquainted with the Sioux.-Cor. N. Y.

A SINGULAR FACT.-A recent traveller
in Mexico, who visited the mines there
during his journeys, says that he was
much astonished at seeing the men who
carry the ore come out of the mine,
each with an eye open. The foreman,
seeing his. surprise, explained the mat
ter. he said the candles belonging to
the tarateros (who drill and blast) do
not give sufficient light in the drifts,
where it is consequently quite dark, but
where. nevertheless, the tarateros see
well enough not to run their heads
against the rocks. But on emerging
into daylight, they would be blinded
did they not take precautionary meas
ures. For this reason, as they approach
the mouth of the shaft, at the point
where they catch the first glimpse of
light, they drop the eyelid of one eye,
and keep this down while discharging
their ore, and until they have rede-
scended the shaft. When they are again
in the dark, they open the eye kept
hitherto in reserve, and at once they see
everything distinctly; while the other
eye, previously open and blinded some-
what by the daylight, perceives nothing
at all.

HATH Doc CONSCIENCE ?"-"Hath
q dog conscience?" quoth the corporal
II had this dog for several years, and
had never, even in his puppyhood,
known him to steal. Nevertheless, on
one occasion he was very hungry and
in the room where 1 was reading, and
he was sitting there within easy reach
of o savory mutton chop was greatly
surprised to see him stealthily remove
this chop and take it under the sofa.
However, 1 pretended not to observe
what had occurred, and waited to see
what would happen next. For fully
quarter of an hour this terrier remained
under the sofa without making a sound,
but doubtless an agony of contending
feelings. Eventually, however, con-
science came off victorious, for, emerg
ing from his place of concealment, and
carrying in his mouth the stolen chop,
he came across the room and laid the
tempting morsel at my feet. The mo-
ment he dropped the stolen property he
bolted again under the sofa, and from
this retreat no coaxing could charm
him for several hours afterwards. More
over. when during that time he was
spoken to or pstted, he always turned
away his head, in a ludicrously con-
science-stricken manner. Altogether I
do not think it would be possible to
imagine more satisfactory exhibition
of conscience by an animal than this;
for it must be remembered, as already
stated, that the particular animal in
question was never beaten in his life. y

DYNAMITE. endeavors of Alfred
Nobel to overcome the uncertainty and
danger attending the application of
nitro-glycerine in its undiluted condi-
ton as an explosive agent, were eventu-
ally crowned with success by his elabor-
alton of the plastic nitro-glycerine pre-
paration known as dynamite, Of which
the earliest, and that specially known as
Nobel's dynamite, consists Of the infu-
soral earth, keiSelghsr, mixed with about
three times its weight of nitro glycerine,
which it holds absorbed, even under
considerable variations of temperature,
if the preparation be carefully manu-
factured. This material is the most vio-
lent nitro-glycerine preparation now in
use; 1t closely resembles Abel's COM
pressed gun-cotton in explosive power
as we'll as in regard to its action, and it
is now very extensively used in all parts
of the world, for mining, engineering,
and other industrial purposes.
