Postmaster General Key, who has
returned from his Southern junket,
has made quite doleful account of
his observations, in so far as the
new party in the South which was
to rise up and call Hayes BLESSED
is concerned. He says that he
finds that the majority of the Dem
ocrats of the South are not at all
swayed from allegiance to their par
ty by Hayes coquetting with them,
but are as much united as ever, and
show a Discrimination to form any
alliance for the support of the Pres
ident in a policy which had been
forced upon him by the action OF
the Democratic House in refusing
to appropriate money for the sup
port of the army to uphold the rot
ten Radical Governments in Lou.
isiana and South Carolina. He
found no Wing party, nor any
signs of enough life in that direc-
ton to galvanize.this old corpse into
a final kick. 1t is believed that
Hayes sent Key South to make q
note of the situation, and the report
is not at all Aattering.-Ex.

No Moro side-saddles.

There are few traps for the fe
male sex any more deadly than the
side saddle, and no one of any sense
grieves at the decay of the "noble
art of horsewomanship," as long as
that art cannot be practiced except
at the imminent risk of the ladies
doing so. English people are de
voted horsemen, and the ladies as
well as the men take the greatest
pleasure in galloping after the
hounds. But recently an English
lady, who enjoys what IS considered
an enviable fame for skill and dar-
ing in riding close to the hounds,
and who is also a pattern wife and
mother, has announced that she
will risk her life no more riding on
a side saddle, but in the next seas
on will ride masculine fashion. Her
announcement has set the whole
fashionable world to talking. since
she is woman of spirit, and if is
believed she will do as she says. II
she does she will have followers
without doubt, and it may be that
this will inangurate the long-ex
pected dress revolution. s

A Chapter on stings.

The pain caused by the sting of
a plant or insect is the result of a
certain amount of acid or poison in
jected into the blood. The first
thing to be done is to press the
tube of a small key firmly on the
wound, moving the key from side
to side to facilitate the expulsion OF
the sting and its accompanying
poison. The sting if left IN the
wound should be carefully extract
ed, otherwise it will greatly increase
the local irritation. The poison of
stings being acid, common sense
points to the alkalies as a proper
means of cure. Among the most
ersily procured remedies may be
mentioned soft soap, spirits OF
hartshorn, smelling salts, washing
soda, quicklime made into a paste
with water, lime water, the juice OF
an onion, tobacco juice, chewcd to-
bacco, bruised dock leaves, tomato
Juice, wood ashes, tobacco ashes
and carbonate Of soda. If the sting
is severe, rest and GOODNESS should
be added TO the other remedies,
more especially in the case of nerv-
Gus subjects. Nothing is so apt TO
make poison active as heat, and no
thing favors its activity less than
cold. Let the body be kept cool
and at rest, and the activity of the
poison will be reduced to a mini
mum. Any active exertion where
by the circulation is quickened, will
increase both pair and swelling. If
the swelling be severe the part may
be rubbed with sweet oil or a drop
or two Of laudanum. Stings in the
eye, ear, mouth or throat sometimes
lead to serious consequences; in
such cases medical advice should al
ways be sought as soon as possible.

Indian Beliefs.

During his numerous exploring
| expeditions for the Government,
Major j. w. Powell acquired very
/ familiar knowledge of the habits
and beliefs of the Indians. Some
of their traditions he has embodied
in lecture on "Indian Mythology"
which he recently delivered in
Washington. "The Indian" he
said, ''is very positive person; he
knows everything in the universe
and out of it, and will always have
an explanation ready for any event
or phenomenon of nature that may
occur. No doubt ever troubles the
mind of the noble red man as to
the accuracy of his statements; he
knows them to be true; for have
not these traditions been handed
down to him, generation by gener-
alton, from the remotest antiquity?
As to what arc good deeds, the In
dams ideas are very peculiar. They
generally believe, towever, that if
they steal all the horses they can
lay their hands on and scalp all
their enemies, they have rendered
themselves worthy candidates for
the happy hunting grounds Their
ideas in regard to the situation OF
this happy country ale very vague.
Those tribes living on the sea
shore will say it is beyond the
great water Those living near
mountain range say it is beyond
the high mountains, etc. Some of
the tribes, the Pueblos for instance,
have seven different countries, piled
one above another in a vertical de
rection, and having magic ladders
upon which the good spirits climb
from one country to another. 9th
er tribes have countries ranged
side by side in horizontal dIrec
ton, while some of the Esquimau
Indians go to the end of the world
and tumble of, when they make a.
visit to their happy land" Major
Powell related several Indian tradi
tions illustrating their faith in their
ancestors explanations of various
phenomena of nature. For in
stance, they believe that the sun is
chased around the sky by rabbit;
that the god of rain dips his brush
into the heavenly lake and sprinkles
the earth, causing rain; that in
Winter he brushes ice and forms
snow; also that the sky is covered
with a curtain at night, pierced
full of holes and with a lamp be-
hind it, the light shining through
the orifices producing the stars.
The Major closed the lecture with
this old Indian proverb: Let man
talk a very long while and he will
bore a large hole in a rock"

HOW TO WRITE TO THE
PAPERS.
Some Useful Hints to Amateur


The Burlington HdaoE Eye gives
the following valuable advice to
correspondents:
Never write with pen or ink. 1t
is altogether too plain, and doesn't
hold the mind of the editors and
printers close enough to their work
If you are compelled to use ink,
never use that vulgarity known as
the blotting pad. Ii you drop n
blot of ink on the paper, lick it of.
The intelligent compositor loves
nothing so dearly as to read through
the smear this will make across
twenty or thirty words. We have
seen him hang over such piece of
copy half an hour, swearing like a
pirate all the time, he felt that good.
Don't try to write too plainly.
1t is a sign of plebeaD origin and
public school breeding. Poor writ
ing is an indication of genius. It's
about the only indication of genius
that a great many men possess,
Sprawl your article with your eyes
shut, and make every word as illeg-
ible as you can. We get the same
price for it from the rag man as
though it were covered with cop
per-plate sentences.
Avoid all painstaking with proper
names. We know the full name of
every man, woman and child in the
United States, and the merest hint
of the names is sufficient 1t is q
great mistake that proper names
should be written plainly.
Always write on both sides Of
the paper, and when you have filed
both sides of every'page, trail line
up and down every margin and
back to the top of the first page,
closing your article by writing the
signature just above the date. How
we do love to get hold of articles
written in this style! And how
we would like to get hold of the
man who sends them. Just for ten
minutes. Alone, in the woods, with
a cannon in our hip pocket"

Mistaken Advertising.

The Denver (Col. Herald, in a
late number, expresses the opinion
that the public can be better
reached through the columns of a
newspaper of a fair circulation
ethan through all the other medi
ums, costly circular, cards, posters,
give Always and Jim put to-
gether. The old established week
ly newspaper is, after all, the only
general, judicious medium for ad
vantageous advertising. A thous-
and doors are opened to welcome it;
a thousand messengers are weekly
seeking the postoffice to receive it;
a thousand families look for its
coming, and ten thousand read ii
when it does come, advertisements
and all" There is much truth in
this. The thousands of dollars
wasted annually upon expensive al
MANAGES, circulars and other ques-
tionable methods of advertising,
which, in company with patent of
fee reports, find their way to the
junk shop, would render very mate
rial aid toward the support of num-
bers of deserving local papers, and
also return something in the way OF
profit to the advertiser.

Time.

In all the actions which n man
performs, some part Of his life
passes. We die while doing that
for which our sliding life was
granted. Nay, though We do moth
ing, time keeps his constant pace,
and flies as fast in idleness as Ia en-
ployment. Whether we play, or la
Dor, or sleep, or dance. or study,
the sun posts on and the sand runs.
An hour Of vice is as long Rs an
hour OF virtue. But the difference
between good and bad actions Is
infinite. Good actions, though they
diminish our time here as well as
bad actions, yet they lay up for us
a happiness In eternity; and will re-
compense what they take away by a
plentiful return at last. When VIC
trade with virtue, We do but buy
pleasure at the expense Of time. So
il IL not so much a consuming Of
time ms an exchange. A man

Down with MODS.

Jackson (Tenn.) Wing and Trib-
une, (Dem. ID: Mobs are the dir
est curses that ever broke the peace
of any nation or destroyed the
prosperity Of any people. When.
ever, in any community, a mob
gathers, takes the keys by force
from the jailer, and taking a man
from prison executes him without
giving him the benefit of trial by
Judge and jury, it is clear evidence
that all taking part in the anarchy
and crime of the proceeding have
neither respect for law nor conf
dence in the efficacy of statutory
provision to protect the innocent
and punish the guilty. We cannot
too earnestly condemn the advocate
of mob law. He is the enemy OF
public morals and public peace
He who has no confidence in the
law will not hesitate TO violate a
statute; and all who join a mob in
taking a prisoner from under the

filled with bullets. Six ladies were

Some sixty shots were fired, Frank
