tall; she is slightly built, fair, with
an oval face, and large eyes Of dark

color, which used to hang loose

Of her life she has had an individ-

was not that it had up to that time

insensible of the popularity she
possesses, nor is she ungrateful for
the many testimonies to that popu-

compliment perhaps which pleased
her more than any other was when
Bulwer.Lytton told her that he

raises them above the reach of sus-
picion, becomes more evident each
day. Outbreaks OF fever are con-
tinually being traced to well-water,
which, from contamination, has
become a poisonous fluid, bringing
disease and often death to those
who drink it. The latest case of
this description has just occurred
at Galashiels, where there has been
an alarming outbreak of typhoid
fever, which, according to the Brit
ish Medical Journal, is believed to
have originated in public well in
the market place, from whence a
large number of the public obtain
their supply Of water. The result
Of ANALYSES that have been made
Of the water Of this and other wells
in the neighborhood shows that the
water in question contains organic
matter in considerable quantity.
Under these circumstances the well
has been closed against public use.
1t is to be regretted that the analy-
sis was not made and the well closed
before instead of after the outbreak
of fever. The mere fact of men
being largely used by the public is
quite sufficient reason for the sani-
tary authorities Of the district in
which the well is situated to keep a
watchful eye on its waters. The
principle Of leaving well alone"
is about the most dangerous that
can be adopted as regards these old
parochial denominations.

One of the earliest settlers of the |
country around Lake Ohamplain |
was Colonel Raymond. He under
stood the character and disposition |
of the red skin natives of the forest,
and lived with them in much har-
mony, frequently employing them
to row him up and down the lake,
as he had occasions. One stout
fellow by the name Of Big Bear,
had his wigwam at no great distance
from the colonePs dwelling, and
was often there. The colonel, hav-
ing occasion to visit some distant
shore of the lake, employed Big
Bear to row him in his canoe. On
their return they passed near a
high yet Sloping ledge of rock, on
which lay an immense number Of
rattlesnakes asleep and basking in
the sun. The Indian gave a pene-
trating look at the colonel aud then
inquired:
" Raymun love fun?'
Yes," was the reply.
" Well, then, Raymun have fun;
mind Indian and hold your tongue"
So he rowed along, silent and
slow, and cut a crotched stick from
a bunch of hazels upon the bank.
Steady, now Raymun," said he,
clapping the crotch astride the neck
of serpent that was asleep close
to the edge of the water. "Take
um now, Raymun. Hole fassl"
The colonel then took hold of
the stick, keeping the snake down,
while Big Bear tied up little sack
of powder, putting one end of a
match therein. He then made it
fast to the snakes tail, and setting
fire to the match, gave order to
Lem um gow at the same time
pushing the canoe off from the
shore. The snake, being liberated,
crawled away to his den. The
Indian then stood up and clapped
his hands, making as loud noise as
possible, and then aroused the other
serpents, who in a moment disap-
peared.
"Now look, Raymun, now look
see fun" said he; and in about a
minute the powder exploded, when
there was to bs sure fun alive. The
snakes in thousands covered the
rocks, all kissing, rattling, twining,
twirling, and jumping in every way
imaginable. Colonel Raymond
burst into loud laugh that echoed
across the lake, pleased alike with
the success of the trick and the
ingenuity of the savage's inven-
ton. But Big Bear, from the be-
ginning to the end, was as grave as
a judge, not moving a muscle, and
not having the least show of risi-
bility in his countenance.

"Ouida

following concerning "0uida," :"
from the Tauchnitz Quarterly Rec
ord, will be new to most of our
readers: e" "'Ouida' is the nom de
plume of Miss Louise de la Rame.
As she is known to the world, so
she has been known to her friends
from a baby, by the name '0uida,'
an iniantine corruption of her bap-
tismal name, as Boz was in Chas.
Dickens childhood. Her present
abode is Villa Farinola, a most
beautiful place somewhat less than
three miles from Florence. Author
ship Of some sort or other has al
ways been the qualification of a
natural impulse, and at four years
old she wrote in printed characters
a little child's story. She has always
been something of astudent. When
very young she was trained to
masculine modes Of culture and of
thought by her father, who had a
lofty and polished intellect. AS a
child she acquired a smattering Of
algebra and mathematics, and de-
lighted to trace on ancient maps
the campaigns of Alexander and
of Caesar. This love Of study has
never left her, and she adds to it
a great and reyerent love for all
the arts. She has, as her novels
conclusiyely prove, a strong belief
in race, and enjoys what the

Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought TO support the pretensions of any other
medicine. See DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates of many persons of the highest re-
spectability, who have been restored to health af-
ter being pronounced incurable by physicians
Of acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences
will show; but the cure is often promoted by the
employment of two other remedies which D..
schenck provides for the purpose These addi-
tional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these medi-
cines, according to directions, Dr. Schenck certi-
fes that most anv case of Consumption may be
cured.
