SaRncIiy Of the Deer.

A friend of mine who has been in the
habit of hunting deer in the Adirondack
mountains, is of the opinion that the
deer is often more than match for the
dog in sagacity. The deer seems to be
well aware that the dog is guided by his
faculty of scent in tracking him and
all the deer's efforts are directed to baf-
fling and thwarting this keen and won-
derful sense with which the dog is
gifted.
With this purpose, the deer will often
make enormous leaps, or run around in
circle so as to confuse and puzzle his
pursuers. He will mount stone wall,
and run along it for some distance, well
aware that the dog cannot scent him so
well on the rock as on the grass. If he
can find pond or stream of water, the
deer will plunge in and swim long dis
tance, SO that the dogs may loose his
trail.
1t is joyful sound to the poor, hunt
ed deer when the dogs send up that sad,
dismal howl, which they give utterance
to when they have lost all scent of the
deer, and despair of finding it. He is
then a happy deer. He hides quietly
n some covert among the bushes, and
he will take care to place himself where
the wind will carry all odors of his body
away from the direction where he sup.
poses the dogs to be.
So you see the deer is by no means @
stupid animal. He knows better than
many a little boy how to take care Of
himself and get out of the way of danger,
From a correspondent in Springfield
Mo-, I have letter, in which the write,
says &C I suppose the Boston boys DOM
have deers for pets. have young one
named Billy, and he eats corn out o.
my pocket. When I come home from
school he always runs to meet me. AL
though he can Jump over fences, hi
never tries to run away. He wears (

unnatural cries. This is done by means
OF pipes into which air is forced.
On the left of the palace islands a
small house, built of round blocks OF ice
resembling logs, interlaced one with
another. This is the bath-house, with
out which no Russian establishment is
complete. This bath-house was actually
heated and used on several occasions.
When this wonderful ice-palace was
completed it was thrown open to the
public, and such crowds came to see it
that sentinels were stationed in the
house to prevent disorder.
This beautiful palace stood from the
beginning of January until the end of
March. Then, as the weather became
warmer, it began to melt on the south
side /; but even after it lost its beauty
and symmetry as palace it did not
become entirely useless, for the largest
blocks of ice we're transferred to the ice
houses of the imperial palace, and thus
afforded graceful refreshment during the
summer, as we'll as pleasant reminder

Clothes Moths.

This name includes several distinct
but similar species OF the minute moths
belonging TO the family 7Yneid1, which
in their larval state, are very destructive
to woolen goods, fur, hair and similar
substances. Among them may be men,
toned the clothes moth (7vnea Uestiar-
ella), the carpet moth (7fnea tapetzt.1
LAY, the fur moth CT pettionetta), and
the hair moth (7inea crinelta). These
tineans have slender bodies and lanceo-
late, freely fringed wings that expand
six-tenths or eight-tenths of an inch.
The antenn@ and palpi are short and
thread-like, and there is q thick orange
or brown tuft on the forehead. The
colers range from buff to drab and dark
gray. The eggs are laid in May and
June (the moth dying Immediately after
ward), and hatch out in fifteen days.
The young worms at once proceed to
work, gnawing the substances within
their reach and covering themselves
with the fragments, which they shape
into hollow rolls and line with silk.
These rolls are by some carried on their
backs as they move along, and by others
fastened to the substance they are feed
ing upon and they are enlarged from
time to time by additions to the open
extremities and by portions let into the
sides, which was split open for this
purpose. In such ambush the worms
carry on their work of destruction
through the summer; rest, in seeming
torpor, during the winter and change
to chrysalids early in the spring. They
transform again in twenty days, and
iss,. from their shelter as winged moths,
to fly about in the evening till they have
paired and are ready to lay eggs. Then
follows an invasion of dark closets, chests
and drawers, edges of carpets, folds of
curtains, and hanging garments, and the
foundation of new colony is swiftly
laid. s. 't
The early days of June should herald
vigorous and exterminating warfare
against these subtle pests. Closets,
wardrobes, all receptacles for clothing,
should be emptied and laid open, their
contents thoroughly exposed to light and
air, and we'll brushed and shaken before
being replaced. In old houses much
infested with moths, all cracks in floors,
wainscots, shelves or furniture should
be brushed over with turpentine. Cam
phor or tobacco should be placed among
all garments, furs, plumes, etc., when
laid aside for the summer. To secure
cloth-linings of carriages from the at
tacks of moths, sponge them on both
sides with a solution of corrosive subli-
mate of mercury in alcohol, made just
strong enough not to leave white mark
on black feather. Moths may be killed
by fumigating the article containing them
with tobacco or sulphur, or by putting
if practicable, into an oven heated to
about $50 degrees Fahrenheit.

signs.
People who still adhere to the look -at-your-
ongue-and-feel-of-your doctor some
times express not a little curiosity in regard to
DR.. R. v. Pierce's original method of distin-
gushing all forms of chronic disease without
personal consultation. Some even suppose
that he accomplishes this through clairvoyance
or some other species of professional jugglery,
All this is utterly false. He claims to de-
termine disease by the rational methods of
science only. Says Comley, in his Biographical
Encyclopedias of New York State, speaking of
this distinguished physician He perceived
that in each Of the natural sciences the inves-
tigator proceeds according to system of
signs. The geologist in his cabinet accurately
determines and describes the cleft Of rock,
which he has never seen, from the minute
specimen ON his table. And the chemist in his
laboratory notes the constituents Of the sun
with the same precision that he analyses a crys-
tai of rock salt. The analogous system de-
veloped by DR.. Pierce in Medical Science is
worthy Of his genins, and has made his name
Justly celebrated" For full explanation OF
this ingenious system of diagnosis, see the

Arraignment OF Bingham, Cox, Robb,
and Others At Rapid City.
Correspondence Dcadwood Times.
Rapid City, D. T., Oct, 10.-The first
thing this morning in court was the ar
raigning of H. w. Bingham to answer to
three more indictments for making false re-
turns to the government and concealing and
rmbezzling stolen properly. Parker 4
Allen as usual for the defense, in fact these
gentlemen are retained in every case, 80 far
rs l have seen. The usual time was taken
to plead. Bingham was called up in four
cases in which he had been arraigned yes
terday, to plead. His attorneys had de-
INJURED and they we're argued. The frrt
point made by the defense was that the
forem an Of the grand jury had signed his
initials instead Of his full name 10 the in
dictments. Second. that some of the wit
nesses we're full blooded Indians, not
competent witnesses and could not
speak English, and an interpreter was
necessarily present. Third, that the
count charging him with making false
returns was insufficient, in that it stated that
such an amount Of goods had been distribu-
ted, and did not state what amount of said
claim was false. After the argument the
court overruled the demurrer. the defend-
ant excepting. James c. Robb, Robert Cox,
John Williams, (colored), Martin Van Blu
rem Lee, F. W. Wright snd james s. Ora
veua, were all called to plead, their motions
to quash having been overruled, and all
plead not guilty. There are now q large
number of cases ready for trial when the
witnesses can be run down and brought in.
There has been great delay on the part
OF with. sses to come in. A few have been
arrested OF attachment, and more Of them
soon will be, as the court is in earnest now,
and will have no more fooling. frederick
tiine, of Deadwood, was also arraiGned to
answer to indie ments for selling liquor
and manufacturing tobacco without license.
DR.. Flick was called to answer, but was not
present. The court asked his counsel. Col.
Parker, where his client was, and the colonel
replied that he was a candidate for the legis.
%lature, and was stamping the county, and
he presumed he would not like to change his
chances for the legislature, for one in the
pe~nitentiary, which remark brought down
