Howard. the PhiIanthr0pfst,

Howard, the philanthropist, was sim
gular in many of the habits of life; for
instance. he preferred damp sheets, linen
and clothes to dry ones, and, both riding
and going to bed, swathed himself with
coarse towels dipped in the coldest
water he could get. In that state he re-
NAMED half an hour, aud then threw
them off, refreshed and invigorated, as
he said, beyond measure. He never put
on great coat in the colde,t countries,
nor had been minute under or over the
time of an appointment, so far as it de-
pended upon himself, for six and twenty
wears, He never continued at place or
with a person a single day beyond the
period prefxed for going in his whole
life, and he had not for the last sixteen
years of his existence ate any fish, flesh
or fowl, nor sat down to his simple fare
of tea, milk and rusks in all that time.
His journeys were continued from prison
to prison, from one group of wretched
beings to another, night and day and
where he could not go with a carriage
he would ride, and where that was
hazardous he would walk. Such thing
as obstruction was out Of the question.

American Il. auties.

rill, daughters of the Hon. A. P. Merrill,
Minister to Belgium. They have been

Miss Minnie Merrill, the former, is
perfect brunette of the Spanish type,
and is spoken of as one OF the hand
soonest brunettes in America. Morn
ing" Miss Katherine Merrill, is not
perfect blonde, but in this imperfection
lies her great charm. Her lustrous
brown eyes are so full of expression and
her hair of the shade Titan loved to
paint. In the casino or ball room OF
Spa she held undisputed sway, and her
dancing has been called the very poetry
of motion. They left Spa with their
father and family by special Car for
Paris, on account of Minister Merrill's
health. On dit they will spend the
wi tier in Nice, if their fathers condi-
ton does not improve. Miss Bayley, OF
Virginia, who deserves Justify her repu-
tation for great beauty, is also an orna-
ment to that watering place.

Paw mountains. and in the morning Of
September 80 attacked the camp. The
engagement was q severe one, and al'
though the Indians were surprised and
their herd captured, the troops suffered
severely. Twenty-four OF the soldiers
we're killed and forty-four wounded, the
Indians losing seventeen killed and forty
wounded. Bear Paw mountain, where
the fight took place, is range about
twenty miles long, forty-eight miles
from Fort Benton, Montana, which is on
the Missouri river and not far from the
British boundary.
The Indians, after the fight of Sep.
tember 80, we're closely invested in deep
ravines, and Gen. Miles determined to
wear them out rather than sacrifice his
men in costly assaults. Only four men
were lost in the subsequent operations
Of closely investing the enemy, and on
October 8, Chief Joseph surrendered un-
conditionally with the remnant of the
band under him, which numbered about
sixty warriors. Forty wounded warriors
were found in the camp.
. The Bear Paw mountains, where
Chief Joseph surrendered, are not less
than three hundred miles in IN air line
from Lapwai, whence Chief Joseph
started on his running fight, and, by the
route he pursued, he probably travelled
from seven hundred to nine hundred
miles, over a country filed with ravines
and water courses and obstructed by
rocks, offering great obstacles to the
movement of organized troops.

Turkish Executions.

An Adrianople correspondent of an
English paper writes: As we walked
about the town the other morning we
could not avoid coming upon five street
executions, and witnessing the whole
disgusting proceedings, not that they
were to me any novelty, for during the
two or three days 1 was in Adrianople
seemed as if I could never get out of
sight of men dangling in the air. As
soon as likely-looking shop is reached,
say one with sun blinds supported with
brackets, the officer cries Halt" and a
soldier, carrying stool and rope, steps
on one side and arranges the latter over
the bracket. The man steps on to the
stool, the moose is placed around his
neck, and he is drawn off his feet. There
is no drop, but in every case, I am told,
the poor wretch dies just as those We
saw did-that is to say, instantaneously,
and apparently with little pain, being, in
fact, choked instead of having the neck
broken.

Bulgarian Funeral Practice.

When the head of a Bulgarian family
perceives that he is about to die, he
sends for the priest, and begins to bar
gain with him about the cost of his
funeral. The moment he dies, all the
pots, pans and kettles in the house are
turned upside down, to prevent his soul
taking refuge in any one of them, and
great care is taken to prevent man or
animal-especially cat or dog-from
stepping across his body, as otherwise,
in the opinion of his family, he would
turn into vampire, and be continual
nuisance to them and to their neighbors.
The body is buried without any coffin in
shallow grave, and left there for three
years, during which time many offerings
of food and wine are placed upon it. At
the end Of the third year. the bones of
the dead man are dug up, carefully
washed, put into linen bag, laid before
the altar in the village church; and after
receiving the blessing of the priest, are
finally barred for good.

Words OF Wisdom.

He that has no friend and no enemy is
one of the vulgar, and without talents,
powers, or energy.
Conscience, be it ever so little a worm
while we live, grows suddenly to a
serpent on our death-bed. ..
Franklin says, ga poor man must
work to find meat for his stomach, a
rich one to find stomach for meat"
The unpleasant sensation that is pro.
duced by modesty, is amply compensat.
ell by the prepossession it creates in
our favor.
He who has guineas for his subjects,
is, unfortunately, the king of most men.
A man may start ut impending danger
or vince at the sensation of pain and
yet he may be true philosopher and
not be afraid of death.
A passionate man should be regarded
with the same caution as a loaded
blunderbuss, which may unexpectedly
go off and do us an injury.
Too much sensibility creates unhappi-
ness and too much insensibility creates
crime. ,.-
He who. surpasses or subdues man
kind, must look down on the fate Of
those below.
The pitying tears and fond smiles Of
women are like the showers and sum
shine of spring.
knowledge is proud that he has learn
ed so much-Wisdom is humble that he
knows no more. ..-
If you wish to keep your enemies
from knowing any harm of you, don't
let your friends know any.
The epicure, the drunkard, and the
man of loose morals are equally con.
temptible though the brutes obey in
stinct, they never exceed the bounds of
moderation and besides, it is beneath
the dignity Of man to place felicity in
the service of his senses.

How He Judged the Town.

About week ago, says the Jefferson
City (Mo.) Journal, gentleman from
Tennessee, representing capital oi
800, 900, in search of location at which
to engage in business, gave us call,
and after stating his mission "West,
asked to look at our paper. We handed
him the morning Journal To our sur.
prise he did not stop to read our newsy
local "pick ups" or onr attractive edi-
torial page, but he turned at once to
the Advertising columns and commenced
counting over their spaces.
"Well," said he glancing up from the
paper, sis that oil I? Is that the busi-
ness of this town"
"Oh, no." said we, "here is the
Tribune with few advertisements that
do not appear in the Journal.
He then counted two additional local
business advertisements in the Tribune
and again looked up with the remark /:
"And that's all, is it? Why You
haven't got near as much of town as I
thought you had"
And then we explained to him that
we have great many business men who
do not advertise.
"They are not business men to hurt
if they don't advertise" was his answer.
We could not contradict him, and we
were powerless to vindicate the 80 claims
Of the CITY,"
He left us, saying if he had time he
would look around, but he thought this
was no place for him.

Bad Breath. .

Offensive breath can be easily got rid
of, for from six to eight drops of the
concentrated solution Of chloride of soda
in q wineglassful Of pure, fresh water,
taken Immediately after the ablutions of
the morning are completed, will sweeten
the breath by disinfecting the stomach,
which, far from being injured, will be
benefited by the medicine. If necessary,
this may be repeated in the middle OF
the Gay. In some cases, the odor from
carious teeth is combined with that Of
of the stomach. If the mouth is we'll
rinsed with teaspoonful of the solution
of the chloride in a tumbler of water,
the bad odor of the teeth will be re-
moved.

Russian Homes in the Northwest.

A correspondent says: 1 have seen a
young Russian couple newly arrived on
their claim. working like beavers in the
fine autumn weather to build their hum
BILE home. They had bought COW, a
yoke of oxen, a wagon. provisions, some
boards, doors and windows, and a pillow
at Yankton. Dakota, on their arrival
from Russia; then hauled the load to
their claim and lived in their wagon till
the house was built. Peter selects a
house-site by low swale where the tall
grass shows the rich black soil below;
cuts the turf off all area of twenty feet
square with his plow, and removes it;
digs a water hole near by, then yokes
his oxen to the wagon and goes around
on the higher swells gathering boulders
OF convenient size for the walls. Mean.
while, Katrina is not idle. She throws
pals of water on the bare turAess spot,
cuts armfuls of long tough grass to
scatter over it, then leads her COW by the
rope around and around and across it
till their feet have made mass of thick
deep mud. Fresh quantities of water
are added, and grass enough to give
tenacity to the mass. Then Peter, as
stone-mason, and Katrina as his
"tender," lay up the walls of stone and
mortar, thick and solid enough to with
stand the storms of the next ten years.
roof, door and windows are added, and
their warm cottage has cost them next
to nothing.
But how about their fuel? Prairie
grass again comes to the rescue. When
Russian family prepares for cold
weather, they provide large supply of
the coarse, rank growth of the swales.
But this would be wretched sort of
fuel to burn loosely in common stove.
It needs Russian stove and special
preparation for burning. Peter and
Katrina do not buy an iron cook stove.
They build in the center of their house
a large sort of stove, oven, and range
combined, Of the same stone work and
mud mortar as before described. This
elifice, in the house of large family,
is about six or eight feet square, and
is fearfully and wonderfully made. 1t
has several compartments. The fire.
box, where the grass is burned, is
capacious, and twice day is stuffed
With grass, twisted into compact twists.
Very little air being supplied, it burns
slowly, and requires renewing at long
intervals; but the stone structure gives
out heat enough to warm the house
abundantly. There are other compart-
ments in the stove for baking and
cooking, and on top of the whole is
capital hot place to sleep in cold
night. Then when the wintry storms
lay IN embargo on all teaming and
travel, the boys have only to 60 to the
convenient hay-ricks for an unfailing
supply of good fuel, which has cost
nothing but laber; and the cost in labor
has been far less to men and teams
than that of cutting and hauling wood,
even when close at hand.
