Watching the Money.

A comical incident of the recent sav- ings bank run in Poughkeepsie, as re- lated by the Eagle, illustrates woman's ways. Two sisters, living with 8 lady in that city, took alarm, and went to their mistress for advice. She advised them by all means to leave their deposit in the bank. But they didn't; they took it out. And having it in their pos- session they were troubled to know where to keep it. 50 they gave it to the lady to keep till the next morning. It was decided that it should be buried in the earth in: a fower-pot standing at the window, and there it was deposited.
 Having so much money near her the lady did not sleep well, and she disin- tered the precious trust and put it un- der her pillow With the early dawn the owners of the money appeared at the lady's room. The door being unlocked, they entered and went directly to the fower-pot. "Oh, my God my God I am ruined entirely. The moneys gone They have dug it up." A gentle voice from the bed was heard: |" Here, take your money. I lay awake till morn- ing taking care oft, and just as I get asleep you come waking me, and all be- cause you, were two fools." ,. :.

The Terrible Screw Worm.

n s,
 The Dallas (Texas) L'atezligeaacer says : MT. Samuel Myers is now lying bed-fast at his home in this place, afflicted with that terrible malady, the screw worm.
 MT. Myers has been sick. of late with fever, and on Monday last while resting in bed one of the flies alighted near his nostrils. It requires but few moments for one of these flies to deposit hundreds of eggs which are matched and are grown inside of an hour, many of them asmuch as one-half inch in length. ,Iar. Myers,' upon awakening, felt g slight tickling in the nose and it was not until his eyes and face had become fearfully swollen that the physician discovered the pres ence of the worms. The only known remedy was applied -calomel and car bolic acid-by injection into the nos- trils. At first few would drop their hold and force themselves out. Appi- cation after application, was made with like results, up to last night, at which 152 was, the number passed. The pa- tient is in critical condition, with but slight hopes of his recovery. The fly is much dreaded by our stockmen and is represented as dark colored and fuzzy insect which generally attacks cattle or any other animal that is unfortunate enough to have blood upon which they can alight. ..s; ,.-. . ...., s-r r-.- '..'

An Important Decision.

.' A suit was brought at Middletown, N.
 r., in 1875, against the landlord and tenant of liquor saloon, for damages caused by the loss of horse which was driven to death by the plaintiff s son
 while intoxicated by liquors supplied to him at the saloon. The plaintiff obtained verdict in his favor, which was confirmed at the General Term, and the landlord carried the case, so far as he was concerned, to the Court of Ap- peals. The action was brought under the law of 1873, known as the Civil Damage law, which makes the owner or lessor of premises on which intoxi- eating liquors are sold jointly liable with the tenant for any damage done by an intoxicated: person who has been supplied with liquor on such premises.
 The Court of appeals now affrms the Judgment of the lower courts, thus establishing the liability of owners or landlords of any premises in the State used in the liquor business for damages done by any drnnken person who may procure liquor at such places. If 8 man should get intoxicated in New York saloon and commit a murder, inflict a wound or do any injury to person or property while in that condition, the landlord or owner of the premises would,
 under this decision, be liable not only for damages actually sustained by the parties in interest, but for exemplary damages as well. r. ... ,.-...y -e-, >ze -:- t~

'tFhe Indians.

G General McNeill, of the army, says of the Indians s'The affection that the Indians manifest for their families, espe- cially for their children, is of the most tender and touching kind. | saw Joseph, of those Modoes, last summer watching over his sick wife for days as ten- derly as any husband. He would fan her and hang around her constantly, and manifested great grief lest she should die. Scarfaced Charlie saw meet his wife as she came to where he waA, and help her out of the wagon in most affectionate manner. And, by the way, that Scarfaeed Charlie is quite 8 char acter. He went to school, when boy, at the Mission school to Mrs. Futile. She tried to teach him the principles of the Christian religion, but withoutmuch success. !. When he became man he went to. Washington, and while there went to church. When he came back to the Mission he said to her Mrs. E Futile, you know that story you used to tell me about a fellow named Jesus 1? We'll, I begin to believe that now; I heard man in Washington tell the very same story ina church in Wash ington.'''' a,.l a.a ..,a.s.. .'... %..,..
 "The Indian babies seem to be fixed up rather closely. Do they like it |? White babies would never stand it. '.-
 Indian babies rarely ever cry. but seem to enjoy life very much, tied to their bark cradles. Their parents are very fond of them, and when their chil- dren are sick their grief and anxiety are very deep. And, by the way, all Indian children that have seen are we'll be- haved. They. are quiet and observing, and yet I never saw an Indian child cor rected. In this respect the Indian chil- dren are models for the whites." r..,r
 F." Do you think the Indians could be got to settle down and earn @ subsistence from the soil ?' ..-,. .-,l ] .... 4 ....- z ~-
 "Well, they can do it in their, way i; they do raise good deal of -squaw corn and some other things now. But they ought to be, and can be made, herders :; they ought to raise cattle. They have the finest grazing country in the world. The demand for beef is every year in- creasing for exportation to Europe. Texas cannot supply it, and, besides, the Indians, in their Territory are 500 miles nearer to market They are already learning to take care of and to know the value of. herds of cattle" Besides, this is the next condition to the nomadic, the next step toward civilization. When the Indian gets an idea of prop erty. and of schooling his children, he is, in the way of genuine progress and improvement"
