INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

The other day, two young ladies,
on the Nebraska frontier, jokingly Of
fered to trade themselves off to couple
of Indians for fifteen ponies each, and
the Indians very willingly took the offer.
Finding that the joke was taken earn
estly by their Indian friends, the girls
became somewhat alarmed. The red
men were told that it was joke, but
they would have taken the girls by
force had they not been inundated.

Conflict Between a Man and a Deer.

A few days since Mr.. Coyne rode
over to Mr.. Crouch's corn-field to salt
some cattle which he had there on hire
while the stalk feed lasted. After salt
ing and looking over the herd he was
vending his way homeward on an easy
canter when his horse started suddenly,
looked forward earnestly and stopped.
Mr.. Coyne has not much eyesight left,
but he thought he saw something, and,
sliding off his horse, he hitched it to a
corn-hill and taking look of closer
scrutiny he saw large deer standing
with its hind feet on a bridge and its
forward part down in the stream, ap-
parently trying to break through the
ice in search of drink. Mr.. Coyne's
blood was up Immediately. He ap-
preached the deer from behind with the
ambling gait pecunar u a man WIN u
single eye, stiff arms. lame limbs,
broken ribs and rheumatic stiffness.
The deer kept busy and SO did Billy,
so that Just as the last swallow was
taken, Billy's last step had been taken,
and almost flat on the ground he seized
the deer, one limb in each hand, just
above the pastern joints. That mo
ment the creature gave q frightened
bleat and tremendous bound. Billy
says they went floating through the air
for distance of perhaps two rods, and
came down together in the middle OF
the quagmire After that he says
things were little mixed. The deer
got one foot loose on Billy's lame side,
and kicked him black and blue every
place but in his cleft eye." That was
mercifully preserved, but he got an
other hold after he had been dragged
some distance. and regaining his feet
he raised the hinder parts of the strug.
Cling animal from the ground, gave il
q side twist, and managed to give il
such kick with his boot as to stun it,
and seizing it round the neck gathered
q convenient stone and knocked it on
the head. After taking some satisfac.
ton in this way. he mounted his horse,
rode to Mr.. Crouch's, got butcher
knife, and rode back and found the
deer halfway on its feet again. He
dispatched it, rode home and sent his
boys after the carcass with q wagon,

Sense in Insects.

In the file of Nature, from Oct. 18 to
the end of November, which l have
lust received, find discussion regard

pecially the lepidopetra For years l
have been in the habit of collecting
these insects for my friends, and OF
course have become more or less ac-
quainted with their habits. recall one
or two instances in point. In Costa
Rica the Heliconias frequent certain
flowers, and pass over others OF the
same color and same approximate size
without noticing them. But the most
marked case was of the large, brilliant
Morphos. My Indian servants always
carried with them fermented paste of
maize flour, which they mixed with
water to the consistency of cruel as q

they were almost unapproachable.

Cricket In England.

No town in England, SO far as I have
observed, is too small to be without its
common, or, as they style it, "green;"
and Byemoor has one some three or
four acres in extent. 1t is triangular
inclosure, lying between the two con-
verging roads whereby the town is en-
tered from the west and southwest. A
few cattle are pasSured upon it, but its
principal function seems to be that of
cricket and football grounds. During
the cricket season, two or three regular
matches, with white flannel and mar
quees. are played upon it; but the bulk
of the year is, of course, devoted to
practice" Our own baseball, which
seems to me much more stirring game
than cricket, has never held such sway
over the active part of our community
as has the latter game over all classes
of Englishmen. Rich and poor, from
dauntless infancy to decrepit age, they
revel in it. One sees undismayed
paunches upon English cricket-fields,
which an American baseball ground
would quickly compel either to cave in
or to retire. Cricket, too, is more fash
ionable here than is our game with us;
though it has its professionals in abund-
ance, that does not prevent the flower
of the great schools and universities
from practicing it as much as or more
than ever. WHAT most entertains me,
however, is not the ultra-scientific,
classical Interpretation of the game,
but rather the homely, ardent expedi-
ents whereby the swarms of three-fOOt,
draggla-tailad gon,ins mako ohift TO
pursue the pastime. 1t does my heart
good to see them roll up couple of
ragged jackets for wicket, steal bit
of moldy board from somebody's back
yard for bat, and make play with l
know not what quasi-spherical COM
pound for ball. Oh, the sbrill yells,
the curdling imprecations, the frenzied
runs, the headlong bowlings, and the
herculean battings, that then are seen
and heard! No pen, no pencil, no instan-
taneous Photographic lens, could do it
justice. And it lasts as long as day
light, and longer. have heard them
hard at it after dusk. 1t is the only
National game, rightly SO called, in the
world. The Nation plays it all its life
long; the bats and balls should be
quartered upon the British flag; and .
wicket should be every true English
mans sufficient tombstone. Surely,
all pious Britons must hope to enter
paradise through the wicket gate!--

How Johnny Saved the Railroad

"I DON'T suppose, mother, little
folk like me can do very much in this
world. It don't seem as if l could do
much good" and Mrs. Tomkins' eight
year-od Johnny planted his chin on the

Reading in the Home Circle.

Good books and newspapers should
be angels in every household. They
are urns to bring us the golden fruits of
thought and experience from other
lands. AS the fruits of the earth's soil
are the most enjoyed around the family
board, so should those that mature upon
moral and mental boughs be gathered
around by the entire household. No
home exercise could be more appro-
pirate and pleasing than for one men,
ber to read aloud for the benefit of all.
An authors ideas are energized by the
confidence and love of the tender FAM
lily affections, and every heart is open
to the truth. like the unfolded rose, to
receive the gathering dews. The ties
of love between parents and children,
and brothers and sisters, are thus ce-
mented more and more, and varied
charms and pleasures are constantly
open through this medium to make
home very paradise. If the parents
would introduce this exercise in their
families, they would soon see the levity
and giddiness that make up the CONVEX
sation of too many circles giving way to
refinement and chaste dignity. Read
to your children, and encourage them
to read to you, instead Of reading your
papers and books in silence and laying
them away Church Union.

Evenings at the White House.

The President and family receive in
formally in the evening, sometimes in
the Red Room and sometimes in the
Library. These visits, however, are
only made by intimate personal friends,
or by those warranted through their ac-
quaintance to call in a social manner.
The evenings in the library are very
charming. Brilliant and cultivated
men and women gather in little knots
in different parts of the spacious and
cheerful apartment, and wit sparkles
and anecdote enlivens conversation.
The President frequently disappears;
he has private library, where he re-
tires when any gentleman present
wishes to speak with him on matters of
policy or politics; but he soon returns,
to all appearances as unruffied as if the
great sea of public opinion had settled
into perfect calm. Mrs. Hayes enter
tains her visitors in an easy, courteous,
cordial manner, moving among them
with stately grace, and scattering
pleasant words. Great gentleness and
sweetness pervade the whole domestic
life of the Presidents family. Little
Fannie, the only daughter, a bright
child of nine years, the pet and favorite
of all who know her, is never visible at
dinner or to evening visitors. 81 am
obliged to compromise with my little
lady," remarked Mrs. Hayes, with a
smile, "as found her growing old too
fast for her years; we serve her dinner
in her room, which she esteems a high
compliment" The private dining-room
of the President family is the only one
of their private apartments which is on
the great main floor of the White
House. The meals are breakfast, lunch
and dinner, instead of breakfast, dinner
and tea, as in the time of Madison. No
unusual forms and ceremonies are OBJ
served in the service further than those
at any gentlewoman's table. The hos
pitalities of either lunch or dinner are
frankly rendered to any family guest
who may chance to be calling at the
specified hour, and not infrequently ac-
cepted. Martha j. Lamb, TN Harper s
