Now the pigeon which NJ. Casters trans
ported from Chatelherault to Agen
would have had to rise 1000 metres to
see C~hatelherault from Agen, and We
know that in these high regions the
pigeon has its faculties paralyzed. Sight
will not explain the pigeons strange
faculty of orientation; and we must
either credit it with some sense of which
we have no idea, or seek the cause in
certain atmospheric currents-perhaps
in head-currents-which pilot it toward
its cote. The birds have probably an
excessive atmospheric impressibility of
which we have little idea; they can
probably distinguish hat from the north
comes cold, from the south heat, from
the east dryness, from the west moisture.
Birdcatchers say that their work is in
vain when the wind blows from the
north, for the birds then conceal them
selves in the crops or in the woods.

Tobacco stalks, from the amount of
potash they contain, form one of the best
manures for potatoes. They can be laid
long in your burrows, or can be cut up if
you like to take the trouble. They are
also excellent to spread wei grass land
in the fall, but they will have to be
raked off in the spring, leaving, however,
visible proof of their usefulness. They
are often composted with the manure
heap. Tobacco stalks must be kept I'M
der cover or the valuable parts will be
leached out.
1t is argued that it is unnecessary to
kill broken-legged horses, and a case in
point is stated: Twelve weeks ago the
nigh hind leg of Mr.. Williams's valuable
and favorite mare was broken in Utica
by a kick from another horse. The frac-
ture was half way between the fetlock
and the gambrel joints, and was com
plete.> A veterinary surgeon undertook
to set his leg. A canvas sling was ar.
ranged, and the mare suspended in it in
such a way that she could occasionally
rest her uninjured limbs. The fractured
leg was then set, bound with hickory and
leather splits, with a heavy leather boot
outside all. The mare did well and
never missed a meal. After three weeks
a plaster of Paris bandage was substi
tuted, and in seven weeks Nellie was
walking around the stable. There was
no sign of the fracture, and it is thought
that she will keep her $40 gait.

Not Down in the Bills.
Virginia City Chronicle. j


At the theater last evening, in order to
give general eclat to the scene in which
Buffalo Bill scalps Yellow Hand, it
was determined to enact it on horseback.
Accordingly in the afternoon two very
gentle horses were brought on to the
stage from MONEYS livery stable and
trained to familiarize themselves with
the explosion of firearms. In an hour
they became so accustomed to it that
pistol shots could be fired in rapid sue
cession under their very noses without
giving them the slightest concern.
When the curtain rose for the grand
equestrian scene, Buffalo Bill, mounted
on a snow-white charger, galloped across
the stage. A moment later Captain
Jack Gas Yellow Handy trotted out
from the wing, and then the trouble
was begun. Bill raised his Henry rifle
and began firing, while Jack pulled his
revolver, firing one shot in doing so.
He fell heavily to the stage, with his
foot clinging for a moment to the stir
rup. The horse relieved of its rider,
rushed about wildly, confused by the
sudden fall and continued firing, and at
one time ran toward the footlights and
seemed about to jump into the auditor
ium. Captain Jack rose to his feet and
limped off the stage, but a moment af-
ter made his appearance again in a
hand-to-hand encounter with Buffalo
Bill. He stood upon one leg with blood
streaming down the other, and seemed
to be in great pain, all of which was
considered by most of the audience to
be only a part of the performance. AT
the sight of the blood, Miss Granville,
who was in the box on the right,
tainted. The curtain fell abruptly, and
all the actors rushed on the stage to see
what was the matter. They found Jack
hardly able to rise and bleeding from
the groin. He was taken to the dress
ing-room, and physicians were immedi.
ately summoned. When his leggings
were removed, an ugly wound was found
in the left groin, from which the blood
was flowing so copiously that the physi-
clans were apprehensive that an artery
was severed. The wound was caused by
the. premature explosion of Jacks re
v%olver, the weapon having been dis
charged as he was pulling it from the
sheath

Boss Tweed Still a Wealthy Man.

IA Leading Lawyer in New York Herald
| regard Mr.. Tweed as one of the rich
est men in New York Let him be re-
leased and the people will soon find out
how they have been deceived in regard
to this "poor, broken down old man."
He is worth anywhere from six to twelve
millions this minute that is, he can con-
troll that amount under various names.
His real estate is chiefly in the names of
his sons, Richard and William M.
Tweed, Jr., OF has been by them passed
to other parties who hold it for them.
His personal property in bonds and
stocks in this country will foot up over
100000. His investments in foreign
stocks will exceed that amount, prob
ably. That scheme for a railway in
Spain is not a mere Pigment of fancy, as
has been recently stated in certain news
papers; it is q fact now in active pro-
gress of inception. 1t will be an accom-
plished reality within six months of Mr..
Tweed's release if ever that release takes
place. Gwen if Mr.. Tweed was willing
to surrender all his property" said the
lawyer, the persons who now control it
temporarily for him would not suffer
him to do so. You may rest assured that
neither during his life nor after his death
will ever a 1.-THE of the money he has
taken from the public be returned to it"
A large portion of Mr.. Tweed's gains
has found its way into the possession of
an accomplished lady closely identified
with Mr.. Tweed's career. This lady is
still one of his staunchest friends and
most skillful and trusted advisers, and
Mr.. Tweed never takes any important
step without consulting the lady, who is
really one of his shrewdest guides. This
lady is said to be bitterly opposed to
any such thing as a genuine estate
ment~ "'emanating from Mr.. Tweed.

DOMESTIC HINTS.

Fans Cake.-Two cupfuls -four, one
and one-half cupful sugar, one-half cup
full cream, salt, four eggs, cream tartar,
soda.
For Rheumatism. Take one or two
strong doses of rhubarb. A single dose
of from one to two fluid ounces of the
best tincture has been found to be quite
efficacious.
Cold in the Head.-This can be cured
at once, if taken care of at the very be-
ginning. Dissolve a tablespoonful of
borax in a pint of hot water; let it stand
until it becomes tepid; snuff some up the
n~ostrils two or three times during the
day, or use the dry powdered borax like
snuff, taking a pinchas often as required.
At night have handkerchief saturated
with spirits of camphor, place it near
the nostrils, so as to inhale the fumes
while sleeping.
Baked Sweetbreads. - Choose large,
white sw~eetbreads; put them into warm
water to draw out the blood and improve
their color; let them remain for rather
more than n hour; then put them into
boiling water and allow them to simmer
about ten minutes, which renders them
firm; take them up, drain them, brush
them over with egg, and sprinkle with
breadcrumbs; dip in the egg again, then
in breadcrumbs; drop on them a little
oiled butter, and put the ~sweetbreads
into it moderately, and let them bake
nearly three-fourths of an hour; make
three pieces of toast, place the sweet
breads on them, and pour oyer and
around them a good brown gravy.

GLEANINGS FROM THE MUSE.
THE TINE.

Together we walked in the evening time,
Above US the sky spread golden and clear,
And he bent his head and looked in my eyes,
As If he held me Of all most dear.
Oh! 1t was sweet in the evening tmel
And our pathway went through fields of wheat,
Narrow that path and rough the way,
But he was near, and the birds sang true,
And the stars came out in the twilight gray.
o.! it was sweet in the evening time!
Softly he spoke of the days long past,
Softly of blessed days to be-;
Close to his arms and closer 1 prest-
corn-ield path was Eden to me.
OH was sweet in the evening lime
Grayer the light grew and grayer still,
rocks fitted home through the purple shade,
The nightingales sang where the thorns stood high
As l walked with him in the woodland glade.
o. it was sweet in the evening time!
And the latest CLEANS of daylight died;
My hand in his embodied lay;
We swept the dew from the wheat as We passed,
For narrower, narrower, wound the way.
o.! it was sweet in the evening time!
He looked in the depths of my eyes and said,
"Sorow and gladneSs will come for us, sweet;
But together wen walk through the fields of life
Close rs we walk through the fields Of wheat"

Strange Railway Accident.

Not long since an accident occurred to
an express train on the Southeastern
Line, England. A passenger in the
second carriage from the engine states
that all went well until they arrived
within a few miles of Minister, when,
the train travelling steadily at express
speed of about forty miles an hour, the
faintest shock was felt by those in the
foremost carriages, a slight crash heard,
and stones and dust began to fly up
around the carriage. On looking out of
the window, he saw that a horse was be-
ing dragged along by the engine its hind
quarters were on the ground, the hind
legs IN either side of the front left wheel,
and the rest of the body was being held
up by the engine, and being thrust for
ward in some strange way. The train
was gradually brought to a stand-still,
and upon going to the engine he found
the body of a large, powerful black cart
horse, with the left buffer of the engine
driven right into the body, and holding
it up apparently at the junction of the
lower ribe of the spine. In this attitude
the body had been carried by the engine
for about a quarter of a mile. 1t seems
that a man was passing over a level field,
crossing with a wagon and two horses,
when suddenly round a sharp and closely
adjacent curve the express train swept
upon them he escaped, but the left buff
fer of the engine struck the shaft-horse,
impaled it, and carried it off in the man
ner described; the right buffer caught
the other horse on the flank, killing it
instantly, and threw it off the line; the
corner of the wagon came in contact
with the first carriage of the train, broke
one of the panels, and was hurled off the
line. 1t was the opinion of the engine
driver that if the horse, being hit so full
by the engine, had not been impaled
and carried forward in the way described,
or if.it had dropped from the buffer on %
the line before the train had stopped, the
engine would, in all probability, have
been thrown off the track.

A Remedy for Burns and Scalds.
Boston Transcript

At a recent meeting of the Massachu-
sets Dental Society in Salem, DIR. G.
w. Waters, of this city, gave a detailed
account of a discovery which he has
recently made of a remedy for burns
and scalds. 1t was claimed that the APP
plication of bicarbonate of soda, which
is the simple cooking soda to be found
in all households, or other alkalis in a
neutral form, would afford instantaneous
cessation of pain from the severest burns
or scalds, and that in all cases of mere
superficial burning the treatment would
effect a cure in the course of few hours.
At the meeting referred to the practi-
cal value of the remedy was demon
strated by a test requiring considerable
nerve to put into operation, and still
more faith in the efficacy of the novel
treatment which was to be illustrated.
The doctor dipped the sponge into boil
ing water and squeezed it over his right
wrist, the water flowing almost COM
pletly around the arm, and nearly en-
circling it with a severe scald something
like 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 b%icarbonate of soda to the
sealded surface, and laid over it a wet
cloth, and the intense pain was banished
as if by magic. On the next day after
this severe test, the scald, with the ex-
ception of the part purposely made most
severe, was practically healed. only a
slight discoloration'o of the skin showing
where the scalding water had flowed
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 du-
ration. The only treatment of this,
however, after the first application of
the soda, was to keep the part moist with
a wet cloth, and no pain was experienced,
and it was but a few days before this
severe wound was seen rapidly healing.

The Flight of a Pigeon.

Experiments made byM. NJ. Laussedat
and CASTOR Tissandier have shown that
a pigeon liberated from a balloon at a
height of 1000, 5000 or 5000 metres is
paralyzed in flight and falls like an inert
mass: if let off successfully at heights of
1000, 800, and 300 metres, it is precipi,
tated toward the earth, describing long
spirals. How then tasks NJ. de Roo in
