rNaERSoDS PECULIAR NOTIONS.

The handsome heather said to me that
his daughters, both grown, had never
heard sermon or been in church in
their lives. They had never heard a
blessing asked at the table but once.
Then they were visiting at the home OF a
deluded Christian relative. When grace
was said the whole Ingersoll family had
hard work to keep their faces straight.
Most persons even devoid of ordinary
religious tervor would not see anything
excessively funny in aman who believed
in a Supreme Being thanking that Faith
er; but to the Ingersolls il was side split
ting. Not only does the paterfamilias
not believe in God, but he don't believe
in churches or schools. His children
have never been to school, "In schools
pupils study geography for years. A per-
SON who has no use of geography; any
one who has sense can learn all they
want in fifteen minutes, said the start

is studied wrong. Geometry should be
the first form of mathematics. You stud
led cube root before you knew what a
cube was--what it looked like, how it was
drawn-dido't you? Very well; that's all
wrong. In grammar scholar don't want
but one lesson. Verbs and nouns, adN
verbs, pronouns, and every irregular verb
ought to be scratched out otthe language;
irregular verbs do all the damage, cause
all the trouble. -ChicagO Times.

M DEAF SMITHS FAMOUS DUEL.
How Sam HOustOn's Scout Dropped Col Morton Of
Texas,

How Sam HOustOn's Scout Dropped Col Morton of
Texas.
Austin, Texas, Feb. I2.-Of all the tas
nous duels recalled perhaps none was
more remarkable than that fought near
this city by Deaf Smith and Col. Mors
ton.
About two years after the Texan revos
luton, difficulty occurred between the
new Government and portion of the
people, which threatened serious conse-
quences. Briefly, the Constitution made
Austin the permanent capital, but ems
powered the President to order the tenn
porary removal of the archives in case OF
danger from foreign enemy or sudden
insurrection. Thinking that the excep-
tional emergency had arrived. as the
Comanches were committing ravages
within sight of the capital, President
Houston, who then resided at Washings
ton, on the Brazos, despatched an order
commanding his subordinates to send
the State records to that town.
1t is impossible tho odescribe the exciter
ment which the promulgation of this or
der raised in Austin. The keepers Of ho-
tells, boarding>houses, groceries, and faro
banks were aghast. The measure would
be a deathblow to their business. A mass
meeting was called, and the farmers of
the surrounding country, who were all
more or less interested in the question,
came in. After many fiery speeches, it
was unanimously resolved to prevent the
removal of the archives. Four hundred
armed men volunteered to guard the
State House. The commander Of this
force was Col. Morton, who had distin-
guished himself in the war for indeqen~
dence, and more recently in two desper-
ate duels, in both of which ne had cut
his antagonists nearly to pieces with the
bowie-knife. Indeed, from his reputas
ton for vindictiveness as wellas courage,
it was thought that President Houston
would renounce his purpc as soon as
he should learn who was le leader OF
the opposition. Morton swore that ifthe
President succeeded in removing the
records, he would himself hunt him down
like a wolf. He even wrote the hero Of
San Tacinto to that effect. The latter re-
Piled in a note of laconic brevity,:
II the people Of Austin donot send the archives,
/ shall certainly come and take them; and If Col
Morton can kill me he is welcome to my earcap.'
On the reception of this answer the
guard was doubled around the State
House, chosen sentinels were stationed
along the road leading to the capitol
armed men patrolled the streets, and a
select committy went into permanent
session in the City Hall.
One day this committee were surprised
by the sudden appearance of stranger
whose mode ofentering the room was as
extraordinary as his looks and dress
He did not knock at the closed door, but
climbing small, bushy topped live oak
which grew beside the wall, he leaped
through lofty window. He was clothed
in buckskin, carried long and heavy
rife in his hand, wore at the bottom o.

CATCHING COLD.

The season Of the year is now upon US
when people everywhere will be taking,
cold, and in many cases they will suffer
much and die. A little care would often
prevent 1t. In the first place, as one Of
the means to prevent cold, the daily
bath in warm room, with much friction,
is very important. In no case should the
body be chilled. Use much friction over
the chest and throat, and snuff into the
nostrils little of tive water warmed oa
comfortable temperature. Next, after
the bath, take daily exercise in the open
air, neither too much nor too little ex-
posing the body somewhat to the cold
and sun for a short time, but never ex.
hausting it. One chief danger from cold
is the exhausted state of the body that
first occurs, so it is not able to resist un'
favorable influences. People who are
not very vigorous should avoid over ex-
ertion and keep the strength up to the
hiehest point. 1t will help those prone
to q cold to sleep all they can. Another
cause of colds is eating too heartily after
days whrk, when there are not forces
enough to digest the food and keep up
thecirculation. Eat moderately at night,
if you would avoid cold. A cold in its
early stages may be broken by hot, foot
baths, warmth to the body, especially a
hot pack or hot bath in the middle of
the day, with much friction. and quiet in
comfortable room. 1t is not advisable
to take hot bath at night in such cases.
When you have cold don't eat much or
work much, unless you have great phys
icaI strength, when a bard days work
may be good thing to equalize the cir
culation and restore the action to the
skin, which always suffers when one
takes cold d.-Herad of Health.

VIM. F. and Vincent Whitney against G.
L. Denton & Thomas Chattle. This was a
petition to insert provision in q contract
made in 1861, which it was alleged was left
out by mistake.
Judge Yaple, in deciding the case, said
1t had been before the Supreme Court,
and there Judge Welsh decided that
the provision was not included in
the contract; and though it was probable
the plaintiffs were right this Court had to
obey the decision of the highest tribunal in
the State, and to hold that the written con-
tract could not be reformed.
