cure for Dyppepsla.

Here is rather a curious remedy,
says Cassels Family Magazine, but
in many cases very certain one,
for the cure Of indigestion. 1t is
simply the cultivation Of a habit of
chewing, while out of doors, differ
ont kinds of green leaves and swal-
lowing the juice. One can always
Gull leaf from a hedge or bush as
one passes. Almost all are good
that are not nauseous, such as the
ivy are poisonous, as the laurel leaf.
One of the latter, however, is a
capital thing where there is slight
irritation Of the stomach. The
chewing of leaves cures dyspepsia,
principally, | believe, by increasing
the flow of the salivary juice, and
partly by the tonic or stimulating
action Of the leaf chewed, The
leaves that occur to me at present
as most likely to be beneficial are
those Of the pine trees, spruce OF
Scotch fir, blackthorn, currant and
rose bushes, mint, the petals OF
many flowers, the stalks Of noun

Andy Baker arrived here on
Saturday evening, with the mail.
He furnishes further particulars of
the death of George McCuthan, the
driver, at the hands Of the infa-
nous savages. When he saw the
band of Indians making toward
him he wheeled round in an instant
and put his four horses on the full
run in the direction of Dry Creek.
1t was a race for life. Although
the horses were the best stock on
the road, it could not be expected
that they would maintain the as
tendency in speed with such a heavy
load to pull, and the savages pur-
suing them on horseback. But the
driver and his passengers, knowing
tho fate that was in store for them
if they fell into savage hands,
pushed along for few minutes at
a lightning rate. The bullets Of
the pursuing savages were whizzing
round them thick and fast, but
they needed them not. They were
appalled,, however, at the fact that
the distance was gradually lessen
ing between the pursuers and the
pursued, but in this dire emergency
their GOODNESS did not desert them.
The demoniac yells of the saw
ages were now heard close to their
rear. The distance sped over was
about three miles, and then began
a new phase of the struggle for life.
1t was but the work of an instant
for driver and passenger to jump
from the stage and cut loose the
leaders. This they did, and each
man mountinga horse sped onward,
leaving the stage and the other two
horses behind. They now seemed
in a fair way to escape. The savageS
kept right on after them, seeming
not satisfied with the booty that
had been left them. About two
miles had been made when an un.
looked for accident occurred. The
horses were still carrying all theil
harness, and being thus encum,
bered, the one being ridden by the
driver stumbled and fell. He did
not drag the other horse down with
him, although the horses were still
connected with the harness as when
attached to the wagon. The horse
ridden by young Hamilton detached
himself, and he was left to keep uT
the race himself. Poor McCutcher
had not time to get his horse uI
and mount him, The sayagoS were
already upon him, and Immediately
began their brutal and torturing
work, killing him by slow process,
: and mutilating his body. One Of
his eyes was gouged out. The fend'

among the lower and working
classes. The Germans whom we
see in the United States coming
from sAipboard are from the rural
districts, an honest, hard-working
class, as distinct in appearance as if!
they were OF another nation from
the people of Vienna. They can
be found here, but it is always as
laborers, both male and female, the
latter often using spade and pick,
and always carrying the hOd, mix
ing the mortar, and doing all the
rough laboring work about new
buildings. They can be seen by
hundreds wherever new buildings
and improvements are in progress,
and seem bright, contented and
happy. The very hardest species Of
manual labor is spading the ground,
and they can frequently be seen in
gangs of five or six working side by
side in the vegetable gardens near
the city. These women, from the
constant exposure to the sun and
the hard lives they live, become
coarser in their features than men,
and lose all grace of form and car
riage. The youthful ones look like
dirty and ragged boys in female
attire, and many of them wear
dirty and ragged coats, and all Of
them long boots. They carry the
buckets of mortar or baskets of
brick balanced on their heads, and
wear pants, whilst an old ragged
petticoat is often the only article Of
female attire visible. They seem
happy and contented, and general
ly sing whilst at work. The Wen
nese motto, "What's the odds, so
we are happy ?" prevents any move
ment from being made toward the
bettering of the condition Of these
people.
The men of Vienna, or at least,
those in the better classes of society,
are remarkable for their fine, man.
ly bearing, and dress with elegance
and excellent taste. At an early
hour in the morning the business
men of the city visit the splendid
coffee saloons on the Ringstrasse
and they arc remarkable for theiI
fine, gontlemauly appearance, ant
the evident care which has beer
taken in their morning toilet
There are very few of them whom
an American would decide, from
their personal appearance or fea
J lures, to be Germans. They Nigh
/ be taken for Americans if it wer
! not for the fact that they are most
{ ly robust and hearty specimens G
e humanity, with healthy complex
S ions, and evidently not mucI
, troubled with dyspepsia. The off
: GERS Of the Austrian army, who ar
S very numerous in Vienna, are al
G fine looking men, and their closely

t show off their forms to great advan
: tage. The Hungarian officers ar
G especially fine looking, and the
G promenade the streets and music

It ration. The men in the lowe
r classes of life are, however, neithe

There are more well-dressed ladies
to be seen on the streets of Vienna
than in any other city in Europe.
In Paris, respectable ladies nearly
always appear on the streets in
plain black dresses, as if striving to
avoid notice or attention. Iu Wen.
pa the very reverse is the case, and
they generally display great neat
ness and good taste in their outfits.
They are lively and yivaoious, as
much so as the French, and are
remarkable for fine forms and grace

ASTONISHING TESTIMONY.
A Son 6igBing His Fathers Will
with the Dying Fathers Hand.

Boston HERALD
The Smith will case promises to
become Justly celebrated. On the |
18th OF October, 1864, Ebenezer
Smith, of Boston, died at the
age of about seventy years, in his
residence in Allston street, leaving
as heirs at law two daughters, Mrs.
William H. Thorndike and Mrs.
Eliza W. Smith, both of Boston;
one son, Isaac T. Smith, of New
York city, and two grandsons,
Hazen j. Burton, jr., and George
Burton, both of Boston, sons Of
Harriet Burton, deceased daugh-
ter of Ebenezer Smith aud Eliza
Smith, widow of said Ebenezer.
He left what purported to be a will,
by which he bequeathed his prop
erty in equal shares to his heirs at
law, putting off his grandchildren
with bequost Of $500 each. This
will was admitted to probate within
the statutory time. From this will
there was an appeal on behalf Of
the grandchildren to the Supreme
Court of Probate, which appeal was
settled by the payment Of $4,000 to
the guardian ad litem of the grand
sons. But now new evidence has
been found, and, under the advice
of General Benz. f. Butler, a pc.
tition has been filed praying that
the will be set aside. In the petit
ton Eliza Winchell Smith, the
daughter, deposes in regard to the
execution Of the will:
"When we started into the room
Isaac said: We had better act
quickly, for | am afraid he is too far
gone even now to sign it. We went
into the room. Father was reclin-
ing in a large easy chair, and ap,
parently in a comatose condition.
Isaac advanced to him, aroused
him by placing his hand on his
shoulder, and said he was about to
read the will to him. Mrs. Giles,
the nurse, objected, saying: 4
would not do that; he cannot un-
derstand that Somebody said q
would not any way; you will only
lose time 1t was suggested that
we get another witness, and a Mr.
A. A. Foster, a neighbor, vast sent
for. lie came in. Isaac then said
to father: Sign your will Father
said, in dazed manner: 'Mywilll
Father then shook his head
! saying: NO Mrs, Thorndyke then
said: We are all here, pa, and We
, all want it, He shook his head
, again. Then Mrs. Thorndyke said
'And Eliza is here, and she wants
it, and we all want it,
"Father was relapsing into hi
! comatose condition, and Isaac wen
around his chair quickly, took hi
s hand with pen in it, and the name
was written. My fathers eyes wer,
closed, and before Isaac took hol(
!. of his hand the pen was dropping
@ from it. If he hadn't taken hole
Y of his hand as he did the pen woulc
9 have dropped out. Isaac raised hi
t fathers hand and arm and place.
/ it upon the board or table and pu
). the pen in it. At the time thu
d signing was done there didn't seen
k to be any knowledge on my father
!? part as to what was being don(
:. There certainly was no movemen
v or yolition on his part to sign it.

short time, with tho aid of several mon, got
him in harness aud to wagon, and tried
him. 1t was dear experiment. The
stallion broke everything to pieces, and the
doctor was himself saved by tho merest
chonces. Many Of the leading horse train.
crs of the country had tried their skill at
subduing him. Hc conquered them all,
and nearly killed ono Of them. Ono of his
latest exploits was the sezing of negro
groom who had undertaken to keep him,
tearing off tho mau's right check aud do.
stroying the eye, and stripping tho flesh
from his right arm. Tho groom became
blind and paralizcd. The three men who
preceded the negro as grooms all narrowly
escaped with their lives. One lost an ear,
another had three fingers and thumb
taken Oft, and the third left his arm from
the elbow in the jaws Of the horse. It b.
came impossible to get groom for the
stallion. No Que knew ut what moment
tho brute would attack him. DR. Schultz
at last made up his mind that Risipgham
was chronically iusauo and concluded
to kill him before he claimed another
victim
AS Eisinsham stood in his stall, glaring
over tho mangcr at the spectators who had
entered tho stable to sec the man-catcr die,
five lnrgc pistol balls were shot into his
head, directly between the eyes. They
failed to bring him down, and, uttcring tho
ticrccst ncighs, he mado frantic efforts to
get over tho mnpgcr among the bystandors
AS man drew til attention of tho horse
away, Dr.. Schultz, by skill(ul thrust of
long knife, severed tho jugular vein, and
the blood spurtcd out in large stream.
For a long time Risinghum stood up under
tho great flow of blood, relaxing no effort
to get ut tho men. at length he settled to
the floor, but to the last moment maintained
his fierce disposition. The last movement
lie mude was to attempt to seize DR.. Schultz
with his teeth, the doctor having gone iuto
the stall. lIorscmcn say that but for tho
temper Of this horse ho would have been
worth $50, 900. His skeleton is to be set
up in Dr.. Schul!z's Office.
