Zachary 1aylOr's Grave.

In his message to the Legislature of
Kentucky, Governor McCreary says:
The grave that contains the moldering
remains of Zachary Taylor, who was at
one time President of the Uuited States,
is situated in Jefferson County, in sight
of the tall spires of the metropolis of
Kentucky, and is unmarked by monu-
ment. It is true that this man, who
spent his whole life in the service of his
country, who proved his patriotism on
nearly one hundred battlefields, and who
had the Office of President bestowed up
on him for his valor, integrity and
fidelity, needs no monument to perpetu-
ate the blazonry of his deeds or the pu-
rity and simplicity of his character. He
has monument already in the hearts
of his countrymen that will endure for
ever. Yet believe that nation is ele-
waited and given dignity and importance
at home and abroad by its great and
good men who reveal its existence and
give it prominence, and a monument
should be erected to his memory that
will ever stand with its mute eloquence
| to attest to the world the honor, the
| reverence and the esteem accorded to his
valor and his virtues by his countrymen.
He was brought to Kentucky by his pa
rents when only nine months old, and
ever afterward claimed his home in our
Commonwealth; yet his distinguished
civic and military service made him be-
long to the whole country. L therefore
recommend that his remains be removed
by Kentucky to the state military lot in
the cemetery at Frankfort, and that a
resolution be adopted by the General
Assembly calling upon the Congress of
the United States to erect monument
over his grave"

Indian Archery.

The st. Louis Evening Post says that
Indian archery is somewhat different
from that practiced by the young ladies
and gentlemen of more civilized society.
These latter take the arrow between
their fingers, place it against the bow
string, and make it assist in bending the
bow. An Indian does not do this. He
takes his arrow between the thumb and
index finger, and pulls the bowstring
with his middle finger; nor does he raise
his arrow as our boys and girls do; he
shoots straight out from the shoulder,
and appears to take no aim whatever.
He hits the mark, though, too often, as
the soldiers about the garrison can tell,
who have flung their caps or hats into
the air, at some Indians suggestion,
only to have them pierced by the unerr-
ing arrow. The growing papooses,
that is as soon as these are able to toddle,
are furnished with bows and arrows, of
which the points have been sharpened,
and may be seen about the reservations
| shooting at marks, at small birds, or
anything else that may attract their at
tention. They generally become expert
at the age of about ten or twelve, but
are not allowed to graduate in buck-age,
and all the pleasures of the chase, until
they are sixteen or eighteen. Then is
the time the real pleasure of the Indian
is found to eliminate in his first hunt
after buffalo.

edge, has ever followed any profession"
"He has been professor ever since /

"Ah! A professor of what?'

The premium lists of the Neosho
Valley District Fair Association for
1878 are ready for distribution, one of
which will be mailed to every family in
the district before July LIST, Parties will
inquire at their post Office for same, and
if not supplied, you will be at once upon
application in person, or by letter to r.
P. Hamm, Secretary, at Neosho Falls.
The Association has revised the list en-
tirely, and added many premiums never
before offered, making it now one of the
best arranged and most liberal lists ever
offered to the people of the district. We
take the opportunity, at this early Pc
riod, of calling the attention of our clti.
zens to this premium list, so that all may
begin in season to prepare something to
exhibit. Allen county has the stock
and the farms sufficient to successfully
compete for these premiums, and in
ladies' work We know we stand at the
head of the list. Stock-raisers, farmers.
gardeners, and ladies, your interests are
at stake in this matter, and If you allow
other portions of the district to carry
away these premiums, you alone will be
to blame. The Neosho Valley District
Fair Association is under good manage
ment, and we are perfectly safe in saying
that the present board will do every.
thing in its power to make the approach
ing exhibition the best ever held in the
State. 1w

A REMARKABLE RESULT.

1t makes no difference how many
physicians or how much medicine you
have tried, it is now an established fact
that German Syrup is the only remedy
which has given complete satisfaction in
severe cases of lung diseases. 1t is true
there are yet thousands of persons who
are predisposed to throat and lung affec-
tions, consumption, hemorrhages. asthma
severe colds settled on the breast, pneu>
monia, whooping cough, &C.. who have
no personal knowledge of German Syrup.
To such we would say that so, 900 dozen
were sold last year without one COM
plant. Consumptives try just one bot
tie. Regular size 70 cents. Sold by all
