sides deserves a high rank among the many
campaigns that have been fought out along
the Indian frontier.
The fact is that Joseph and his tribe of
Nez Perces are Indians SO uncommon, so
different from the Sioux whom the ST ting
Bull commission are presently to meet,
that those wiseacres in the East who would
settle the Indian question without adequate
knowledge of the true state of affairs can
not prevent the government and the press
from drawing just and generous distinc-
tion between these Nez Perces warriors and
the coarser savages following the leader
ship of Sitting Bull and his congeners.
The manner and method of fighting
adopted by these Nez Perces has been ad-
mirable from first to last, and they have
taken their mshaps and final defeat with
out a whisper. They have never scalped u
dead white man, nor even i'll treated a
wounded soldier or citizen throughout the
entire campaign. Whatever tales may
have reached You in regard to the alleged
cruelties perpetrated by the Nez Perces
are denied here in anticipation by the Off
GERS aud soldiers who have been engaged
with then, in all the conflicts during the
progress of bostilties.
Whatever scalps have been taken from
the heads of white men were taken by
members of other tribes of savages, who
lowered along the verge of the various
battle fields and swooped down upon dead
Nez Perces and white soldiers alike. The
last word to be said nf Chief Joseph in this
connection is that the original difficulty
between his tribe and the white settlers in
Oregon has had as yet but confused and
unsatisfactory description. When the
whole truth is mado known the question
will assume an aspect quite different from
the one it now wears.

SHARPENING EDGED TooLs.-The Mark
Lane Express copies the following recipe
for sharpening edged tools from German
scientific journal for the benefit of farmers,
mechanics and laboreTs
1T has long been known that the simp-

il for ;,n hour into water TO which has been
added one-twen ieth of it's weight in mnrl-

off, and after few hours set it on a h"ne-
The acid here supplies the place of a whet

ones are generally improved by it. although
The cause of improvement remains uueX-
planned.
''At length this process has been applied
to many other cutting implements. The
workman al the beginning of his noon spell,

the blades of his tools with water acioulat-
ed as above. the cost of which is almost
nothing. This saves the consumption of

SEAsONABLE REMEDY FOR CoUGHs.-A
practical housewife residing on Ridge
Road. says the Harrisburg Patriot, sends
the following recipe for making an infalli-
ble cough medicine. which is particularly
opportune at this season of the year when
violent colds are being contracted by the
sudden changes of weather:
"Take tablespoonful of wood hquorice
fliquorice in the wood, a tablespoonful of
slippery elm, and a tablespoonful of good
raisins. Cut into small pieces each ingre-
dent, add one pint of water and let the
mixture simm, ,ver slow fire, until near
the boiling point in order to extract all the
strength. When ready for use there should
be exactly half a piut i'll quantity, as water
may have to be added while sleeping. Sc
lcct the best materials. The seeds must
not be removed from the raisins-the finer
:he latter are cut the better. This remedy
has been tried and found to be an excellent
one in hundreds of cases. The slippery
elm removes the inflammation the raisins
strengthen, and the liquorice heals as fast
the Inflammation is allayed. Dose-a
teaspoonful every time one coughs or expe-
rences tickling sensation"

1T is for our child, Reuben
''We will do our best to save him. and
our own lives" he answered. "Even
though the door give way, with my rifle l
can do much to save U.S.
Once more terrible blow was dealt
upon the door, and at the same moment a
vivid flash of lightning. followed by a peal
Of thunder that seemed to shake the solid
earth. So tremendous was the blow the
savages dealt that the prop against the
door gave way, and fell from it's place, and
door itself tremblcd as though it was com
ing down. The heart of Reuben sank
within his breast. Another such a blow
must place them at the mercy of the sava-
ges. Only his rifle would stand between
them and death. Blu; at this momeut
Providence interposed it's hand. AS though
| the peal of thunder had been a signal for
the tempest to commence, the rain came
down in torrents. Not knowing the exc
cution their last blow bad done, the sava-
| ges hesitated as the storm broke upon
| them.
A little way from the cabin stood large
| oak that the settlers had spared for its
beauty and grateful shade. To the shelter
of this the savages fled, to wait until the
tempest was over. Thus Our friends had a
respite for time. Hastily Reuben re-
! placed the prop, and did his best to make
| the door secure again.
Ten minutes passed, and the rain came
down as though there was a second deluge
| upon the earth. He heard nothing Of the
savages, but he thought be knew where
| they were, and that the attack would be
! renewed as soon as the rain had cleared.
Suddenly there came vivid flash of
lightning, followed by report that seemed
| to shake the earh as though il was a leai
| suspended in mid-ar. For n long time
they sat half dazed and stunned by the re-
port, and when at last they were themselves
again the rain had ceased. A bright lighr
shone without and Reuben once more
gazed through the crevice to see what il
| meant.
! The oak was riven into a Thousand frag-
ments, and its trunk was on fire. Scattered
among the debris lay the mangled forms oi
the savages. The same blow that haC
blasted the oak had deprived them all o
life.
In after days Reuben and Ruth told
! their grandchildren how it was that the.
were saved by lightning.

THE SPIDER CHANGES HIS SKIN. One
OF The most singular facts in relation To
this insect is, hat it casts its skin once ev-
ery year. In order to effect this, it forms,
in one corner Of the web, kind CT thick
purse, similar to that in which 1T encioses
its eggs. Placing itself then in the centre
of its web, it begins to extend its body
with all The violence it eau exert, for sew
eral minutes, until it splits its skin the
whole length of the back. This being ac-
complished, it gradually forces it's body
through h the aperture, drawing out its legs
one by one, until it is entirely free from
its covering. The SKIN retains the entire
form of the spider, andsis perfec ly trans
parent. Tine insect itself, after this great
change, remains gelatinous, aud Is OF a
pale green color. In this condition u re-
tires to the aforementioned purse or bag,
leaving the skin suspended IN the web.
This shelter it is not able To quit for about
three or four days.
