A Romance of the Rebellion.

At the battles of Antietam and South
Mountain Colonel was wounded-his
arm fearfully Sutherland he was
borne from the field by his brothers and
private soldier. They carried him
across the country long and toilsome
distance, every step of which was torture
to the sufferer, to the house of Mary
land Union farmer. Then came the
ubiquitous Yankee surgeon with his gilt
tering knives and cruel saws, and made
hasty preparations to amputate the all
ing member. The farmer vehemently
protested, declaring that the man would
die if the arm was cut off. The surgeon
insisted that the patient would die if the
arm was not taken OFF, and the Colonel's
brothers conceded with the surgeon.
But the determined old farmer dispatched
his son Oh his feetest horse across the
fields to the other side of the mountain
after his friend and neighbor, country
physician, and rank rebel. When the
rustic Esculapius arrived there ensued a
long contention with the Yankee newer
Of bones over the sufferer, but the result
was that the arm was saved, and, after
some weeks of careful nursing, the
Colonel galloped off to join his regiment,
comparatively sound man. He subse-
quently became Governor of Ohio, and
now fills the Presidential chair.-NeaU
York Tribune.

Black Hills Currency.

A correspondent Of the st. Paul Pho
aeer-Press describes the use of gold
dust as currency as the greatest nuisance
of the Black Hills. Each man is pro-
vided with his buckskin sack, and, no
matter what he buys, be it a plug Of to-
bacco for 10 cents. OF an outfit for sew
eral hundred dollars, he must weigh the
amount out in dust. This is vexatious
process, and of course it cannot be often
repeated without considerable percent
age Of waste. Gold is taken at $18 in
greenbacks, and all shopkeepers give two
prices. A movement is on foot to remedy
this evil by addinga considerable per-
centage to the prices of goods sold for
dust, and many of the more sensible
miners are beginning to sell their dust
as they bring it in, and do their trading
with paper money. Formerly there was
much risk in taking gold dust, as it was
mixed with material that it was i1npos-
sible to detect by any test except that of
acid, and few could spare the time to
submit the dust to that process. Now
the dust is comparatively clean and safe
to handle.

A Singular Result Of Characterization.

Strange as it may seem, the enamel
patton of the serfs in Russia has in
creased the number of wolves in that
country. The serfs used to act as their
masters drivers in the great wolf-hunts,
which formed national pastime; but
since the liberation the wolf-hunt has
gradually become unpopular, and conse-
quently wolves are having a better time
of it. Thus, M. Lazarewski, in pam
phlet published by tie Russian Minis
terial printing office, estimates the num-
Der Of wolves in European Russia alone
at not less than 200, 900, and shows that
while the average annual loss of human
lives in the years 1S49-51 was only 1875,
the number of victims in 1875 was no
less than ISL. The loss in domestic ami
mails is valued at about $12, 500, 900 an
nually, and that in wild animals at about
$42, 200, 000.-NeaO York Evening Post.

he had q brother named Lafayette
Thurston, who was also very tall man;
but not SO tall by several inches as
Henry. Lafayette Thurston was wound
ed in the leg at Jenkins Ferry, and it
was found necessary to amputate the leg
about half way from the knee to the
foot. He then had longer leg than a
great many men have. We think La
fayette died from the effect of this
wound. Col Austin M. Stanton, chief
of Gen. Parsons staff, was a tall man,

More Troops for Cuba.

A letter from Madrid says the Spanish
authorities are preparing to send $4,000
men to Cuba in October, to fill the gaps
caused by disease and death. The Min
listers propose to raise the necessary
funds to forward these reinforcements
by another appeal to the association of
planters and financiers who furnished
the advance for reinforcements sent out
a year ago. Their privilege over the
Cuban customs revenue will be increased
and prolonged to insure payment Of the
interest and annual sinking fund. The
Ministers have allowed the Cortes to I'M
derstand that, if necessary, the Govern
ment will make even a greater sacrifice.

A New Remedy for Burns.

DR.. G. T. Waters, of Boston, recent
ly tested before the meeting of the Mas
sachusetts Dental Society new remedy
for burns and scalds, consisting of the
application of bicarbonate of soda, the
simple cooking soda used in all families.
The doctor dipped sponge into boiling
hot water, and squeezed it over his right
wrist, the water flowing almost complete
ly around the arm, and nearly encircling
it with a severe scald two inches in width.
Not content with this, he dipped the
sponge a second time, and pressed it
closely on the under side of his wrist for
thirty seconds. He then applied bicar-
Donate of soda to the scalded surface,
and laid over it g wet cloth, and the in
tense pain was banished as If by magic
On the next day after this severe test,
the scald, with the exception of the part
purposely made most severe, was prac-
tically healed, only slight discoloration
Of the skin showing where the scalding
water had fowed-this, too, without a
second application Of the soda. The
flesh on the under side of the wrist had
been cooked down to the sweat-glands, and
the scald was one which ordinarily would
have caused an open and painful wound
of long duration. The only treatment
of this, however, after the first applica-
ton Of the soda, was to keep the part
moist with wet cloth, and no pain was
experienced, and it was but few days
before this severe wound was seen to be
rapidly healing.

The Ladies Of Bucharest.
Probably few handsomer races {

Probably few handsomer races exist,
and the women especially are physically
perfect. Their gentleness and kindness
to the other sex (hardly the ruder sex
here) is proverbial, and in a climate like
this people do not, except in gossip,
throw stones at their neighbors. If. in
the warm summer evenings, the gardens
which form so large portion of every
town are witness to good deal of love-
making not always according to strict
rule, we may fairly say that each nation
and each part of it have their own ideas
on this interesting topic.-Cor. London

Wilt Cure the Evil?

At the Thornwell Orphanage a boy
gets twenty-five dement's for kissing a
girl. Here we "apply the hair of the
dog to cure the bite" When boy
kisses a girl, twelve very ugly boys stand
in row on the rostrum in the chapel,
and the offender is required to kiss them
all, and kiss them well. The girl also,
if she is willing to be kissed by the boy,
is required to kiss dozen ugly girls.
The ceremony draws full house, and
has never failed to cure. -Ogphan'S

A Big Indian Claim.

The Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian
nations have brought suit against the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad, on
a claim for 100000 for ties, timber, ma
sonry, coal, etc., used in the construction
of that road. The railroad company has
receipts for money paid for ties and other
material to individuals, but the plaintiffs
claim that the property belongs to the
nation in common, and not to individu-
ais, who have no right to dispose of it in
any way.
