Indian Justice.

Piute Indians have a summary and
effective way of dealing with their flair
but frail" ones. "An Indian" says the
Reno Journal, ''known as Sam lost his
squaw through the Establishments of
another red man named Jim. 1t seems
that the fair Mary fell a victim to Jim's
tender words, and at his solicitation left
her husbands bed and board and Joined
the fortunes of Jim. Sam was not one
to quietly submit to this treatment, par
ticularly as Mary had taken some of her
husbands goods when she Departed
The loss of these added much to the
wrath of the victimized Sam, who
raised such a. commotion among the
Piute braves about it that they deter
mined to teach the frail Mary, and by
her example the rest of the female por-
ton of the tribe, a lesson. Jim tried to
screen her from the gathering storm by
hiding her, but they soon found her, and
about fifty of the tribe, Including Jim
and several squaws, escorted her to the
hills just back of Washoe Lake where,
safe from Caucasian intrusion, they
made a huge pile of sage brush, and,
after tying her firmly in the middle of
it, set it onfire. Then they commenced
war dance around the scene of crema-
ton in Which all joined except jim
Sam being very fierce in his leaps and
yells. The screams of Mary added to
the zest of the dance" The sequel,
however, reads very much like the ways
of civilized society. "Jim meantime
sat quietly by, and seemed an indiffer-
ent spectator of what was going on, and
when the fire was out and the ashes
gathered up, he went his way to new
conquests, and Sam expressed himself
satisfied"

Labor.

Labor, honest labor, is mighty and
beautiful. Activity is the ruling ele-
ment of life and its highest relish. Lux
uries and conquests are the result of Ia
Dor; we can imagine nothing without it.
The noblest man OF earth is he who puts
his hands cheerfully and proudly to hon
est labor. Labor IS a business and ordi-
nance of God. Suspend labor and
where is the glory and pomp Of the
earth? the fruit, fields and palaces, and
the fashionings Of matter, for which
men strive and war? Let the labor
scorner look to himself, and learn what
are the trophies. From the crown of
his head to the sole of his foot (unless
he is Carib, naked as the beast) he is
the debtor and slave of toll. The labor
which he scorns has tricked him into the
stature and appearance of man. Where
gets he his garmenting and equipageN
Let labor answer. Labor, which makes
music In the mine and the furrow and
the forge. Obi scorn labor, do you,
man who never yet earned morsel Of
bread? Labor pities you, proud fool,
and laughs you to scorn. You shall
pass to dust, forgotten, but labor will
live on forever, gloriousin its conquests
and monuments.-Appleton's Journal

Russian Dinners.

The dish most affected throughout
the north of Russia is called Zdkuskd,
which word comprehends a naelange of
everything that happens to be in season
in the way of eomestibles. As, for in
stance, fresh caviar, raw herring, raw
smoked goose, salmon, radishes, with
cheese and butter. For soups, We have
the OkroShka, a cold iced soup, with a
beverage in it, made of fermented rye,
by way of flavor, and with herring, GU
cumber, and meat floating in it; also the
cabbage soup, with sour cream, called
Stchi. There is also a fish soup, which
1 did not taste, made OF stone perch; in
fact, taste or two of either soup will
suffice. Then there are patties of ism
glass, mixed up with the flesh Of the
sturgeon, very much like mullins with
fish and cold boiled sucking pig, with
horseradish sauce; roast mutton stuffed
with buckwheat, with salted cucumbers
as a salad; plenty of Cayenne is used
with the fish and cabbage. The dessert
Of sweet dishes and fruits is very good.
The sherry of the Crimea, the wine of
the Caucasus, the champagne of the
Don, and the raspberry kuos, or cider,
are pretty good, so is the beer made in
st. Petersburg; but their native brandy,
called Vodka, or little water" must
have very depressing effect, as is fire.

Kit Burns, the Rat Catcher.

1t is said of the late Kit Burns Of
New York that, as professional rat
catcher, he. was the first in America.
1t Is farther alleged by those who pro-
fess uneqaivocal knowledge of the mat
ter, that the deceased Kit had amassed
much money in pursuit of his unique
vocation. He Cnce made S5OC ont of
one single job in the rat-catching line.
One OF the first restaurants on Broad
way had been so badly infested by rats
that the quantity of provisions con-
sumed or destroyed night and day was
incredibly large. The finest mousers
were procured, but they made no inroad
upon the army of rodents. In fact,
cat after cat became demoraliZed, while
the rats grew bolder, and frequently
put them to fight. Alone in the res
taurant one night, Kit surveyed the
situation, and declared it to be des-
perate one. The following night he set
ms huge cage close to an advantageous
aperture. A small, dim lamp on the
shelf above him was the only light in
the place. He lay above the great cage
with the string of the main trap in his
hand. His object was to catch the
skiing" rat, and then the work was
easy. They all follow the king. Rat
after rat came to the cage, nibbled the
bait, and ran back to the hole. There
seemed to have been a perfect under
standing about the matter before his
majesty yentured forth. When he did,
Kit knew him, for the king rat is an
enormous, shaggy specimen, with great
bristle5 growing out Of his body-and
down snapped the trap. Now the rest
were guideless, and wholly at the mercy
of the rat catcher. Kit then fastened
the king so as to secure his presence in
the cage, and when the trap was again
raised scores upon scores of rats filed
the cage. 1t could hold no more; but
when the subjects found themselves
captured they fell upon the king and
nearly tore him to pices. After that
Kit easily secured the rest of the var
mints. and was paid $500.

THE POTTER INVESTIGATION.

The special bent of American mind
seems to be that of Old Si-to investi
gate. We began to investi gate in 1860,
and We have been investigating ever
since. We investigated the South
pretty thoroughly then, and now they
have caught.the spirit and propose to
investigate us. Investigation, that is
a thoroughly bipartisan, unprejudiced
investigation, always leads to one ex-
cellentresult-the good, the true. is vim
dicated, and impostures are exposed
This is precisely the reason why DIR. r
V. Pierce invites and urges the public
to invevtigate the remedical powers of

the trial will vindicate all his claims
for them and all that has been written
of them by grateful patients who have
been restored to health by their use.

Fagot Of Wisdom.

It's only the calm waters that reflect
heaven in their breast.
In being angry we punish ourselves.
Avarice is the chastisement of the
rich.
The only way to have friend is to be
one.
Men are never so ridiculous by the
qualities they possess rs by those they
affect to possess.
Men are like words; when not proper
ly placed, they lose their value.
Let no one descend so low as to con-
slider money to be the chief good.
Health is the foundation upon which
all happiness is built.
Conversation is the ventilation of the
mind.
Humility makes all other graces ami
able.
Fortune and the sun make insects
shine.
Forbear to judge, for we are all sim
ners.
Everything we add to our knowledge
adds to our usefulness.
Those who raise envy will easily incur
censure.

How sharp was the struggled the fight ht

Ere the price he paid,
And yielded his soul to the tempter':

In hasty hour.
Answer him softly; for it may be

Though at last he fell.
Answer him softly, lest you be tried
On your weaker side,
And fall, as before you, SO many have

Fall, too, ere temptation had spent Its

In Its subtle course.
