a Hanged Man Revives.

The Indians Of this country have had
grand feast at the Portrero to celebrate
the anniversary of some important
event in the history of their race. Indian
Chief Juan was among those present, in
the glory OF his War-palnt and buckskin
breeches, restraining the drunken
wretches who would commit violence on
those weaker than themselves. In at
tempting to arrest an Indian he drew a
pistol to frighten him, when several of
the latter's friends rushed up to inter-
fere and save him, supposing 1t was the
intention of Juan to kill him. In the
melee that followed the pistol was acci.
dentally discharged, the ball striking an
Indian in the forehead and killing him
instantly. Juan was securely bound.
and, after short conference among the
other chiefs, condemned TO death.
Amid the lamentations of the friends of
the deceased, he was lead to a tree
near the burying-groqnd, lasso placed
around his neck, the other end thrown
over limb, and strong arms drew the
unfortunate chiettain into mid-air.
where he dangled half an hour and was
then pronounced dead. He was taken
down from his elevated position, and
shortly afterwards those gathered round
were surprised to observe in him signs
of returning consciousness. He was
soon entirely recovered, and an exam:-
nation of the throat revealed the fact
that the rope mad caught on his chin
sufficiently to protect his throat from the
full force Intended, aud had merely reD.
dered him UNCONSCIOUS.
The Indians were not satisfied with
once hanging him, and on the next day
were to make another attempt, which
would probably nave terminated dis.

rumor of the affair reached town, and
Constable Thomas went in hot haste to
prevent second execution. He arrived
in time, but the Indians were extremely
unwilling to give their prisoner up,

Eggs.

There is no article Of food more whole
some and nutritious than that supplied
by eggs. There is difference in their
flavor and quality, owing to the differ
ence in the diet of birds; yet there are
no eggs OF winged creatures which are
unfit for eating and for nourishing the
human body. Their chemical composition
is nearly the same, for the white and
yelk are almost invariably present; and
these consist, in the first case, OF albu-
men and water, and, 10 the second, OF
abumen, oils, sulphur, and water. Eggs
require for digestion about as much time
as mutton-that is, from three 10 lour
hours. They are most readily digested
when boiled until the white becomes
partially consolidated.
An ordinary hens egg weighs from one
and half to two ounces; d ducks egg,
from two to three ounces; the egg OF the
sea-gull aud the turkey, from three to
four ounces; and the egg Of the goose,
from four to six ounces. The solid mat
ter and the oil in ducks egg exceed
those in hens egg by about One-tourth.
According to Dir. Edward Smith, in his
treatise on "Foods," an egg weighing an
ounce and three quarters consists ot l2U
grains OF carbon and 17% grains OF nitro.
gen, or 15 25 per cent. of carbon and
per cent. of nitrogen.
A writer in the Scientific Farmer esti
mates that the value of one pound OF
eggs as food for sustaining the active
forces of the body is to the value of one
pound of lean beef as 1,5S4 TO $50. AS q
fiesh-producer, one pound OF eggs is
about equal to one pound of beef, as
shown by the following analysis quoted
by the author:
ONE POUND OF EGGS.
Water, II oZ. 81 grs.
Albumen, 2oZ.
ExtractiYe, 1870 grs.
Oh or fat, OF, 214 grs.
Ash, % grs.
Will produce at the maximum two
ounces OF dry muscle OF flesh:
ONE POUND OF BEEF.
Water, 8 OF.
Fibrine and albumen, OF. 122 grs.
Gelatine, 1 OF. 81 grs.
Fat, 4 OF $40 grs.
Mineral, $50 grs.
The author then prvceeus to discus
the advantage ID point of economy o.
eggs over beef and pork:
A hen may be calculated to consume
one bushel of corn yearly, and TO lay
twelve dozen or eighteen pounds OF
eggs. This Is equivalent to saying that
three and one-tenth pounds of corn will
produce, when fed to a hen, one pound
Of eggs. A pound OF pork, on the con.
trary, requires about five and one-third
pounds OF corn for its production.
When eggs are "a cents dozen, and
pork is 10 cents a pound, we have the
bushel OF corn ted producing $2SS worth
of eggs and $1.05 of pork. Z
Judging from these facts, eggs must
be economical in their production and
In their eating, and especially fitted for
the laboring man in replacing meat.
In an article in Chambers Journal
"About Sharks" the eggs of these fishes
are commended for food. They are about
the size Of small orange, and consist
solely of pale-colored yelk. In the
north of Europe they are highly esteemed
as an article OF diet.

for aims, the pedestrian seemed to look
kindly on him, and asked him to step
upstairs into his office and he would see
about it. The beggar followed him up
to the top story OF the block, into an
office, took seat by the stove, and when
the gentleman had hung up his overcoat
and poked up the fire, he said:

Has Woman a Right to Preach ?

The Newark Presbytery reassembled
yesterday to consider the case OF Rev.
Mr.. See, of the Wickliffe-street Church,
who is charged with having allowed
women to preach in his pulpit. DR..
Craven, who brought the case to the
notice Of the Presbytery, replied to the
argument of Rev. DR.. See delivered last
week. He read from First Corinthians
the injunction of ST. Paul against speak
ing in the church, and said that this
was the commandment Of the Lord. Hav-
ing read from Timothy, he said that so
far as lie could understand these pass
ages, their meaning was that women
should not preach or teach in the church,
aud that this was the opinion Of the
Presbyterian Church. He read from a
deliverance Of the General Assembly of
1882 torbidding women TO speak
or teach in the churches. The
General Assembly of 1874 had submit
ted to them by the Presbytery OF
Rock River the question whether women
should be permitted to speak or pray in
the weekly prayer-meetings of the
church, when the assembly said that
they expressed no opinion but remitted
the subject to sessions and elders. 1t
was manifest that the assembly had
not considered the subject, but
with the deliVerence Of 1882. In
bringing forward this charge he
did not mean that women have no right
to teach in private, to teach the ignor-
ant, and to teach as Priscilla taught, or
thai they may not be permitted to sing
the praises OF God. He simply affirmed
that she is precluded, by Divine ordi-
nance, from speaking and teaching in
public. At the conclusion OF DR.. Cra-
ven's argume Mt the further consideration
OF the question was postponed. A decis-
ion will probably be reached this week.
