How the EsUuimaux Live.

In the winter season the Esquimaux
live in huts built of snow, and we may
imagine what must have been the neces-
sity and distress that could first have
suggested to q human being the idea of
using such an unpromising material as
means of protecting himself from cold.
Be that as it may, the snow "igloe," or
hut, affords not only security from the
inclemency of the weather, but more
comfort than either stone or wooden
buildings without fire. The construc-
ton of them requires considerable tact,
and is always performed by the men,
two being required for it, one outside
and the other inside. Blocks of snow
are first cut out with some sharp instru-
ment from the spot that is intended to
form the floor of the dwelling, and
raised on edge, inclining little inward
around the cavity. These blocks are
generally about two feet in length, two
in breadth, and eight inches thick, and
are joined close together. In this man.
ner the edifice is erected, contracting at
each successive tier, until there only
remains a small aperture at the top,
which is filled by slab of clear ice,
that serves both as q keystone to the
arch and window to light the dwelling.
An embankment of snow israised around
the wall, and covered with skins, which
answer the double purpose Of beds and
seats. The inside of the hut presents
the figure of an arch or dome; the usual
are ten or twelve feet in
diameter, and about eight feet in height
at the center. Sometimes two or three
families congregate under the same
roof, having separate apartments COM
with the main building, that
are used as bedrooms. The entrance to
the "igloe is effected through wind
ing covered passage, which stands open
by day, but is closed up at night by
placing slabs of ice at the angle of each
bend, and thus the inmates are perfectly
secured against the severest cold.

The Wheat Crop.

The glowing prophecies that have
been made on all sides as to this years
wheat crop bid fair to be fulfilled. 1t is
almost impossible to obtain accurate
data respecting the crops, both from
the nature of the subject, the wide ex-
tent of territory which review must
take in, and the reports of interested
parties. The best informed authorities
estimated last years wheat crop at $780,
600, 900 bushels, whereas in reality it
reached 350,000,000 bushels. There
seems no disposition this year to be
modest in making estimates. Few place
this years crop below 400, 900, 600 bush
els, and those of sanguine disposition
increase these figures by 25,000,0 900 or
$4,000, 900 bushels. Many predict con-
fidently that Minnesota's crop will reach
60,000,000 bushels, and that Iowa and
Kansas will follow with 45, 900, 900 and
100000 respectively. Even Dakota,
it is said, will produce 1000, 900 bush
els, and Nebraska $4,000, 900. OF course
some allowance must be made for these
figures, but the indications are now that
the present crop of wheat will be by far
the largest ever produced in this coun-
try, and will probably reach 100000, 900
bushels. Harvest is over in the Southern
winter wheat districts, and the wheat is
reported to be excellent in quality and
the yield large. 1t will be impossible
to give figures for some time to come,
as statistics of this kind are always diff
cult to obtain. .-Anoericon Miller.

The Wyoming Massacre.

In the early summer of 1779 most of
the men of the Wyoming settlement
were with the army of Washington, and
after repeated appeals for them to
return to guard their homes against
the Indians, who were mastering up the
valley, the companies to which they
were attached became disorganized, and
the officers resigned and hastened home,
but it was too late. On the 3D. of July,
Col. John Butler, with a large band of
Indians and whites, met all the force
that could be mustered in the valley; he
outnumbered them three to one, and his
victory was overwhelming. There then
followed butchery that has hardly a
parallel in history. 1t was led on by
the Indian Queen Esther. The invasion,
in which there was wanton and ruthless
destruction of property, made one hum
dred and fifty widows and six hundred
orphans. Four months afterward few
who had been spared returned to the
desolate valley, gathered up the dead,
and buried their bodies. They could
recognize none of them. In 1842 q
monument was erected over their re-
mains. It stands on the outskirts of
the village of Wyoming, Luzerne coun-
ty, Pa.

An Astnnished Canine.

A grocer on Carr street yesterday
placed on the sidewalk in front of his
store a sugar hogshead, which he had
Just emptied The adhering sweets at
tracted myriads of flies and few honey
bees, which seemed to think they had
found bonanza. A vagabond looking
dog was lying down in the shade of the
sugar hogshead, and was pestered much
by the flies, which found the dogs nose
a good place to roost after they had
filled themselves with sugar. After the
dog had wearied himself out by his
Intellectual snaps at the flies, he buried
his nose between his paws and took the
annoyance philosophically. At length
bee came humming around him, and
being bigger game, the dog concluded to
go for it, and watching his opportunity
snapped at it and caught it in his mouth.
Then he made sudden spring to his
feet as if he had just thought of some
thing that he had to do in hurry, and
the hair all over him raised on end
as if he had been electrified. Then he
pranced around for moment shaking
his head frantically as if he were worry
ing q rat A little black object dropped
from his mouth which he looked at
inquiringly for brief instant, and then
started off in haste to see man around
the corner, bowling dismally as he went.
The man was not there and the dog
came back and once more made an in
spection of the little black object that
lay on the sidewalk and poked it timidly
with his paw. He perhaps wanted to
be able to recognize one of those little
things if he should ever encounter one
of them again. After satisfying his Curl
osity he went and laid down again with
a sort of grin-and bear r,it-you-o old.fool,
giving vent to his feelings occasionally
by a subdued, canine sigh, So Louis

The Shah at Paris.

The Shah of Persia brought his own
cook with him, but as he has few pref
udices, and likes French cookery, the
services of this individual have not been
required since his majesty's arrival in
Paris. From a similar appreciation of
other European comforts, his ambassa-
dor was ordered to inform Mr.. Vanhym-
beck, the manager of the hotel, that it
would be esteemed favor if no Persian
furniture were placed in the apartment,
where the only innovation on civilized
customs is bed of cushions, destined
for the valet de chambre who guards
his slumbers. This unfortunate official
is also intrusted with the duty of keep
ing out intrusive visitors during the
day, and will certainly have his hands
full. All the more, that among the bag
gage of the monarch are thirty-six boxes,
three feet in length and two in height,
each containing eighty pounds weight
of gold coin, amounting in all to the
sum of 100000 francs, which are to
cover his travelling expenses. His suite
consists of fifteen personages and ten
servants from Teheren, to whom has
since been added the Persian ambas-
sador at st. Petersburg. All are natives,
with the exception of DIR. Toloson,
French army surgeon, who has been
his majesty's private physician since his
accession to the throne. There is also
Persian newspaper editor, Mahomet
Hassan Kahn, director of the Teheren
Journal Official, and author of
Geographical Dictionary of the King
dom of Persia" The way in which the
Shah takes his meals is curious. Each
dish is intended for eight persons. The
Shah eats alone, and after tastingy sends
in the dish to the seven highest dig
nitaries, who sit in an adjoining room,
and who consider it a great honor to
partake of the royal leavings. At a
small table, near which is a sort of
dresser, the less exalted officials take
their repasts. Eighteen employees of the
hotel, and twelve police agents from the
Rue de Jerusalem, keep watch and
ward over the apartments, whose win
dows on the outside are decked with
trophies of French and Persian flags.
There will be no pageants or parades
gotten up for his amusement on this oc-
casion. 1t is whispered that unpaid
bills aud unfulflled promises of decora-
tions left an unfavorable impression
when he was here before so that now
he is scarcely nine days wonder.

Love and Turnips.

His name was John Ct GOODWIN Emerson
and his works and days we're these:
tending pegging machine in a New
England shoe shop, and thinking much
of Patience Lowering, the primary
school teacher. When the six o'clock
whistle brought welcome release from
the weary clatter of the pegging machine,
he betook himself to the society of
Patience or books. That is, Patience
would not always receive him, and then
he read books in species of mad fury.
Patience Lowering seemed in some
manner above him. He knew this, and
had wisely thought to raise himself to
her level. Finally the time came when
the word that was in his heart came out,
and upon a suitable occasion he told her
that he loved her, and had hoped to
make.her his wife.
The result was peculiar and most un.
happy. This modern maiden met loves
advance with kind of iron clad COM
mon sense, and bluntly told him his
income was insufficient. Her own earn
ings were enough for her support and
little more. She lived in comfort and
had some leisure, to say nothing of an
occasional taste of the drama and music.
AS his wife she would have none of these,
besides many household cares, and that
sort of thing.
Did she not love him ? She looked at
him with a sad smile, and said, 81 will
not say whether love you or not per-
haps--perhaps not" Seeing that he was
greatly cast down, she added, playfully,
Am not worth winningP Why do you
not try ?"
"What can 1 do2" said he bitterly.
" I am only mechanic"
She made no reply for moment, and
then she said, slowly, "That is nothing
I mean, it is nothing against you.
The point is that you must be more. It
is not for me to say what or how. You
are a man. ] make no promises, but
you may win me-if you cam"
With this she turned away quickly
and walked on alone before him, leaving
him standing in the middle of the rural
lane where they had been walking. He
saw her put up her hands before her
face, but whether it was in shame or
grief he could not tell. 1t was both /:
shame that she had been forced te speak
so plainly, and grief that-But, really,
her grief was so mingled with other
sentiments, that it was part sorrow and
part hope.
The young man gazed after her till
she had disappeared, and then he
turned aside to the stone wall that
bounded the lane, and looked out over
the wide expanse of very fine turnip
field. There were millions of turnips in
majestic row, rank beyond rank, their
plume-like leaves waving as an army
with banners. OF these ten thousands.
one alone attracted his attention. It was
mighty turnip, fair to see, and of
goodly size and shape, It was the king
turnip of the field, and the disconsolate
lover studied it with interest.
1t is q curious fact that sometimes.
when the mind is suffering from o great
shock or sudden revulsion of feeling,
the most trivial things absorb the atten.
ton. Tt is as if the. will was too weary to
trouble itself about directing the mind,
and any chance object absorbed the

Summer Months.

They come the merry Summer months
or beauty. love and flowers;
They come the gladstone months that brin
Thick leafiness to bowers.
Up, up my heart and walk abroad;
Fling work and care aside;
Seek silent hills, or rest thyself
Where peaceful waters glide;
Or, underneath the shadow vast
OF patriarchal trees,
Sec through its leaves the cloudless sky
In rapt tranquility.
The grass is soft, its velvet touch
Is grateful to the hand;
And, like the kiss of maiden love,
The breeze is sweet and bland
The daisy and the buttercup
Are nodding courteously,
1t stirs their blood with kindest love
To bless and welcome thee;
And mark how, with thine own thin locks,
They now silvory gray
That blisstul breeze is wantoniDg,
And whispering, "Be gayw
Thoro is no cloud that sails along
The ocean of yon sky,
But hath its own winged mariners
To give it melody.
Thou see'st their glittering fans outspread,
All cleaning like red gold
And, bark with shrill pipe musical
Their merry course they hold.
God bless them all, these little ones,
Who, far above this earth,
Can make scoff of its mean joys,
And vent a nobler mirth.
But, soft mine ear upcaught sound,
From yonder wood it came;
The spirit of the dim green glade
Did breathe his own glad name.
Yes, it is he the hermit bird,
That apart from all his kind,
Slow spells his beads, monotonous,
To the soft western wind.
Cuckoo cuckoo he sings again,
His notes are void of art;
But simplest strains do soonest sound
The deep founts Of the heart
Good Lord it is gracious boon
For thought-crazed wight like me,
To smell again these Summer flowers
Beneath this Summer tree;
To suck once more in every breath,
Their little souls away,
And feed my fancy with fond dreams
OF youths bright Summer day;
Whon rushing forth, like untamed colt,
The reckless truant boy
Wandered through green woods all day long
A mighty heart of joy
I'm sadder now-I have had cause
But, oh I'm proud to think
That each pure joy-fount loved Of yore
l yet delight to drink.
Leaf blossom, blade, hill, valley, stream,
The calm, unclouded sky,
Still mingle music with my dream,
AS in the days gone by.
When Summers loveliness and light
Fall round me dark and cold,
I'll bear indeed life's heaviest curse
A heart that hath waxed old.
