Another Sam Patch.

A reckless chap, calling himself Capt.
Julius d. Rhodes, of Springville, Erie
county, N. Y, recently made daring
jump into Niagara river in imitation of
the feats of Sam Patch, who fourished
and was killed in Rochester, N. Y, some
forty five years ago. The Buffalo
Courier thus describes his Jump from a
skeleton platform or tower, eighty-four
feet high, built on the rocks near the
foot of the inclined railway, Prospect
Park: "This he did a few minutes before
four o'clock, in the presence of at least
two thousand people, who had congre-
gated at every commanding point. The
dive was graceful and easy one, and he
came up smiling and struck out for a
swim. A life-saving coat, made of cloth
and lined with cork, capable of sustain.
ing the weight of four ordinary people,
was thrown into the water from ferry
barge. This he put on and buttoned
up with comparative ease. To demon
strate the practical value of tho appara-
tus, his wife. small, dark-complexioned
woman, in blue flannel bathing suit,
jumped into the water from an elevation
of about fifteen feet and enjoyed ride
down stream with her husband. :"
Rhodes intends jumping q distance of
1914 feet some day when the wind does
not blow. He claims to have made
sixty-nine high leaps and dives from
different attitudes, once height of
about lao feet.

The Russian Losses.

A war correspondent says the Russians
have suffered frightfully. Before their
passage of the Danube, 1000 sick were
in the hospitals, and &, 900 were sent back
to Russia. The crossing at Braila, with
the subsequent combats at Matchin and
Babadagh cost 1900 men Zimmerman
lost 900 in the Dobrudscha, and inva-
hded 5000 to Russia the repulsed
passages from Oltenitza and Glamunda
cost 1900; Simnitza and Sistov, 1,4OO /;
the affair at Biela, 1900 those of Rnst-
chuk and Rasgrad, 5000; the march to
Tirnova and the crossing of the Balkan,
1000; Gourkho's retreat, 1900; the
taking of Nikopolis, 2, 400; the first bat
tie of Plevna, 5000, the second, II, 900 /:
their repulse from Lovdscha, 1900. In
the meantime, 10000 sick have been
sent to Russia from the main army of the
Danube, and we have no record of the
deaths in the hospitals, nor of the num-
Der who fell at the capture of Lovdscha
on the 9th of September, nor in the de-
feats and during the disastrous retreats
at Karahassanhoi and from the Kara
LON. In short, the total, as known,
considerably exceeds 70, 600 men,.

The Teeth of n Horse.

At five years of age horse has forty
teeth. These are twenty-fonr molar or
jaw teeth, twelve incisor or front teeth,
and four tusks or canine teeth, between
the molars and incisors, usually wanting
in the mare. At birth, only the two
nippers or middle incisors appear. At a
year old, the incisors are all visible on
the first or milk set. Before three years,
the permanent nippers have come
through. At four years old. the per-
manent dividers next to the nippers are
out. At five the mouth is perfect, the
second set of teeth having been COM
nleted. At six, the hollow under the
nlppers, called the mark, has disappear
ed from the nippers, and diminished in
the dividers. At seven, the mark has
disappeared from the dividers, and the
next teeth, Or corners, are level, though
showing no mark. At eight, the mark
has gone from the corners, and the
horse is said to be aged. After this
time-indeed, good authorities say after
five years-the age of horse can only
be conjectured. But the teeth gradually
change their form, the incisors becoming
round, oval, and then triangular. Deal
ers sometimes bishop the teeth of old
horses ; that is, they scoop them out to
initiate the mark ; but this eau be known
by the absence of the white edge of
enamel which always surrounds the real
mark, by the shape of the teeth, and
other marks of age about the animal.

An Indians Letter.

An Arapahoe Indian recently wrote a
letter to Cheyenne imprisoned in
Florida, which has been forwarded to
Gen. Sheridan by Col. Pratt, command
er of the military prison at st. Angus
tine. According to the Cheyenne
Leader, the letter looks like war map
of Russia and Turkey. The fellow who
wrote it is an artist with lead pencil.
He tells his friend that, early in the late
war, his band struck off by themselves
and crossed over into the British
possessions, and did not return until a
short time previous to the Custer massa-
ere. And how do you suppose he de-
scribes the trip up north Why, by a
trail of half-circle marks in imitation of
horse tracks, and these autographed
footprints go zig-zagging across the
country, and across big sheet of paper,
through Wyoming, Montana, British
America, and finally ending on Beaver
creek, three days march from the agency
in the Indian Territory. The Custer
fight is pictorially described by a col
lection of animals and redskins in a
state of dire conflict and confusion. A
crooked line, with a pair of mountain
sheep horns, represent the Little Horn
river, while a large horn denotes the
Big Horn river. A drawing of buffalo
tongue stands for the Tongue river. An
extremely rude sketch of q beaver,
crouched alongside black pencil line,
represents Beaver creek. The signs
and characters used constitute IN inter.
esting and instructive study.

Words Of Wisdom.

Our Wcunuesscsz cUsU un Il UnuuonAu
times more regret and shame than ON
faults.
Each man has an aptitude born with
him to do easily some feat impossible to
any other.
Children are unconscious philoso-
pliers. They refuse to pull to pieces
their snjoyments to see what they are
made of.
There is not joyful boy or an inno-
cent girl buoyant with fine purposes of
duty in all the street full of eager and
rosy faces but cynic can chill and dis
hearten with q single word.
There is great outcry against fools
on the part Of the knaves, but rather
with some want of policy; for if there
were no fools in the world cunning men
would have but bad trade of it.
The force of habit affects our even
palates; we in time acquire relish for
what was once perfectly nauseous. The
Greenlanders detest turtle soup as much
as we abominate train oil.
Our natural disposition to evil is evi-
dent in this: that vice tracks out it's own
path and stands in need of no instructor;
while it requires not only example but
discipline to initiate us in virtue.
Some men and women expect imme-
diate recognition, and even pay, if they
do something for the public good. Such
men and women lack the true spirit and
will soon drop from the rank Of workers
for public benefit.

Beaux Of Former Times.

We much question whether the cele'
brated Bean Brummel and even the
equally celebrated Romeo Coats were
not absolutely mere Quakers in their
dress compared with some Of the dressers
Of the former days. Sir w. Raleigh
wore white satin pinked vest, close sleev.
cd to the wrist over the body brown
doublet, finely powdered, and embroid-
cred with pearl. In the feather Of his
hat large ruby, and pearl drop at the

the end all white and buff shoes with
white ribbons. On great court days his
shoes were so gorgeously covered with
precious stones as to have exceeded the
value Of $4,000, and he had suit Of
armour of solid silver, with sword and
belt blazing with diamonds, rubies and
pearls. King James favorite, the duke
Of Buckingham, could afford to have his
diamonds tackled on so loosely that when
he chose to shake off few on the ground
he obtained all the fame he desired from
the pickers-up, for our duke never con-
descended to accept what he himself had
dropped. His cloaks were trimmed with
great diamond buttons, and he wore dia-
mond hat bands, cockades, and earrings
yoked with great ropes and knots Of
pearls. He had twenty-seven suits of
clothes made-the richest that embroid-
cry, lace, silk, velvet, silver, gold and
gems could contribute-one of which was
a white uncut velvet, set all over, both
suit and cloak, with diamonds, valued at
$40O, 900, beside feather stuck all over
with diamonds, as were also his sword,
girdle, hat and spurs. When the differ
ence in the value of money! is considered,
the sums thus ridiculously squandered in
dress must have been prodigious.

Prince Hassan and His Gloves,

We have from a correspondent, says
the New York World, curious bit Of
information about the young comman-
der-in-chief of the Egyptian contingent
on the Danube. Though but twenty.
four years old, Prince Hassan, son of the
Khedive. is IN experienced soldier, and
has already had his share of haps and
mishaps. The young prince received
his military education at Woolwich and
Berlin, after which he occupied the
office of minister of war to his father.
During the late war with Abyssinia he
was seriously wounded and made prison
er. Although treated with great con-
sideration, King John, "to punish him, "
as he expressed it, "for fighting against
Christians" ordered that large cross
should be tattooed on the back of each
of the princes hands. This was done,
and when his wounds were healed the
young officer was releasedand returned to
Cairo. Arrived at home, Prince Hassan
COASulCCu VIC DcnU LuIOpctu ltS well th
native physicians and chemists, and
Copt sooth-sayers, promising large
sum to any one who should rid him
of these momentoes of the Abyssinian
king. Advice was freely offered and ex-
perience tried !; the prince underwent
much suffering, but all in vain-the
Christian crosses we're indelible. In de-
spair he finally resorted to Dervish
for advice, and the holy man communi-
Gated remedy which, at least, had the
merit of being undeniably efficacious.
"Chop off both thy hands, said lie to
the prince "better live without hands
than wear forever those signs of the
infidel giaours But Hassan relished
it but little, and so remains to this day
tattooed with the Christian symbols.
This is why no one ever sees him with
out gloves.

Self.Murder.

To those who say that the work is not
their own, who say: "I have not de-
stroyed myself" the illustration Of an
extreme case may be helpful. Look for
example, at the case Of the drunkard.
Look at the poor, miserable wretch. Do
not the blood-shot eye, the tainted
breath and his diseased body generally
all tell the tale ? Do not they all say
something He has brought ruin upon
himself and upon those connected with
him /; his home is desolate, his children
in rags, his wife dying. You may say :
"See what drink has DONE" No, it was
not drink, but the drinking. There might
be oceans of drink around him, and yet
he might never have been destroyed.
1t is his own diseased human nature that
has brought about the work of destruc-
tion, that has go reduced him that there
is scarcely any humanity left. His sin
has spread it has gone beyond himself
to his family, to his wife and chill
dren; but who did it2 Not his neigh
bors not his malignant foes. 1t would
be case of murder that the law could
deal with if the blame of destroying a
man could be laid upon others. A
man would certainly forfeit his life if he
did against another what he does against
himself. How is it to he brought about
The god of this world has blinded his
eyes, but, remember, the man has given
permission, he has given himself over !;
it is by his own act and deed that he has
compassed his own destruction, and
sealed his ruin. Who has done it 4? is
the question. "Thou hast destroyed
thyself," is the answer, and it is beyond
all controversy. 1t is simply the strong,
fully developed result of sin that is all.
Wherever sin is present it carries on the
same deadly work, and has ever the same
deadly influence belonging to it. "Sin,
when it is finished Gperfectly) it bringeth
forth DEATH"

There are people-yes, many people
always looking out for sights. They
cannot carry on the daily intercourse Of
the family without finding that some
offense is designed. They are as touchy
as hair triggers. If they meet an &C.
quaintance who happens to be pre-occu-
pied with business, they attribute his
abstraction in some mode personal to
themselves, and take umbrage accord.
ingly. They lay on others the fault Of
their irritability. Indigestion makes
them see impudence in every one they
come in contact with. Innocent per-
sons, who never dreamed Of giving Of
fense, are astonished to find some unfor-
tunate word or momentary taciturnity
mistaken for an insult To say the least
the habit is unfortunate. It is far wiser
to take the more charitable view of our
fellow beings, and not suppose that a
slight was intended unless the neglect
was open and direct. After all, too, life
takes hues in q great degree from the
color of our minds. If we are frank and
generous, the world treats MS kindly /; if,
on the contrary, we are suspicious, men
learn to be cold and cautious to us. Let
q person get the reputation of being
I" touchy," and everybody is under re-
straint, and in this way the chances of
an imaginary offense are vastly in
creased.

A JapaneSe Image.

One of the new and curious naisenao,ao
of Toxic, Japan, is gigantic image Of

dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war.
In height it measures fifty-four feet, the
head alone, which is reached by wind.
ing staircase in the interior of the figure,
being capable of holding about twenty
persons with comfort. A sword is held
in the right hand and huge ball in the
left. Internally the novelty consists Of
an extraordinary anatomical model. A
fine view of the surrounding district ia
obtained by looking through one of the
eyes, and the price of admission is only
two cents. The image is situated beside
the temple of Hachiman, close by the
Kuanon of Asakusa, and is well worth q
visit,

The Doctors Reward.

Justice Comstock's Office at Detroit
had such q home-like air that the re-
porter for the Free Press sat down to
hear an anecdote. It did not commence:
"Once upon time there was poor but
honest baker who always put sixteen
ounces of stock into his pound loaves,"
but it started off as follows: Once there
was we'll to do Detroiter who ate too
much succotash for dinner. Colic seized
him and put him to bed. and SO frighten-
ed was the man that he called out to the
doctor:
"save me, doctor, and I'll give you a
check for thousand dollars !"
The doctor gave him remedy that
soon eased him. and he called out:
"Keep at it, doctor, and I'll give you
O check for five hundred dollars I"
In half an hour more he was able to
sit up, and he calmly remarked:
"Doctor, I feel like giving you fifty
dollar BILL"
When the doctor was ready to 60 the
sick man was up and dressed, and ne
followed the physician to the door, and
said:
"Say, doc, send in your bill the first
of the MONTH"
When six months had been gathered
to Times bosom the doctor sent in bill
amounting to five dollars. He was
pressed to cut it down to three, and
after so doing he sued it, got judgment,
and the patient put in stay of execu-
ton. The poet was pretty correct when
he wrote:
at know no man whom could trust;
buy and sell for cash;
Each day know what I am wUth,
And thus avoid smash"
