A HARD HEAD.

When The present illustrious Captain Rig
canvas mere boy, his father owned amerino
ram that was known far and near for the ex-
cessive hardness of his skull, and the terrible
ness OF his butting qualities. Captain Riggan
took butting lessons for six years under that
ram. And never did tutor turn forth more
finished pupil. But the scholar at length
proved too much for the master.
Young Riggan was in the habit OF going on
to a meadow everymorning and having a"set
| to- with that old ram. One day he went out,
rs usual, and, seeing n large crack in the
meadow fence, he stuck his head through,
and bleated. That made the old ram ram
buctious. and he fetched O butt at Riggan's
head. But Riggan quickly drew back, and
let the rampageous ram ramhisrampant head
ram up against the fence, like a pavior's ram
mer on q stone.
Young R~igganwas delightedwith the trick,
and repeated It several times, to the great dis
comfture of his ramship.
But it happened that the crack in the fence
was not the same size all the way along the
panel, and SO, one time, Riggan got his head
through and wriggled his neck into a mar
rover part of the crack before he bleated.
The fierce merino came charging down upon
him. and Riggan tried to withdraw his cram
ium as he had lone before. But his Uranium
wouldn't withdraw. The old ram had him
dead.
There was no one stirring in that part Of
the farm. 1t was about ten O'Clock in the
morning; and from that hour till four in the
afternoon not a sound broke the m%onotonous
stiffness Of thelonely spot except theregularly
repeated blows Of theram's skull againstIiig-
gin's. Then there was silence

ster was. They missed him at dinner, and
searched for him everywhere until supper
time. Then they found him. He was lying
with his head still through the crack Of the
fence-aud sound asleep! just on the other
side Of the fence lay the old merino ram
stone dead! He bad butted himself to death
against tia adamantine skull.
Once, when in the house of DR.. Burney, at
Hammersmith, with some friends, examining
some old newspapers which detailed the exc
eution of Charles l., lie came across various
particulars thought by some of them to have
been overlooked by Rapin and Hume but
Person instantly repeated n long passage

were all recounted. Upon oneoccasion he IN

, FUR TRADING AT WINNIPEG.

In the late autumn MS soon as the rivers
are locked with ice, and the ground is covered
with snow, the furs begin to come in. As
they are brought in by the Indians they are
traded by the persons in charge of the trad
ing-store. If an indian were to bring in q
hundred skins of different sorts, or all alike,
he would trade of every skin separately, mt
insist on payment for each skin as he sold it /;
he likes the linked sweetnessof shopping long
drawn out hence it often occupies several
days to barter q batch of furs.
1t is n curious and interesting sight to
watch an Indian selecting from the stores
articles hat he may require AZ he disposes of
skin after skin. II he has only a small guam
tity of skins he walks into the shop with his
blanket about him, and not a skin visible.
After some preliminary diminishing he pro.
duces one akin from under his blanket, trades
II, taking in exchange what he absolutely
needs; then he stops. just rs one thinks the
trading is over he produces another peltr,
from beneath hisblanket, and buys something
else. Thus he goes OIL until, havingbought all
the necessaries he requires, he branches off
into the purchase of luIuries-caudy, fancy
neckties, etc. Uuder 80 slow u process ~,
Indian trader needs to possess more thar
average patience. The skins, as fast as puI
chased, are thrown behind the counter, apd
then carried tothefur room N piledin heaps
that are constantly turned and aired.

a TRAMp's MAXINIS.

In the hip pocket of an old vngrant pulled
in by the police the other night was n memo
randum book full of his own writing with
pencil. and some of his philosophy is good
enough to be preserved. His first paragraph
reads:
''DrinkiuGbad whiskey because it i~soiIered
free is like getting IN the way of bullets pur-
chased by an enemy
A second reads:
Honesty is the bestpolicy, but some folks
are satisfied with second best. 1t is hard to
be honest ON an empty stomach

Pay ms YOU go. If you haven't anything
to pay with, don't 90. If you are forced to
20. record every Indebtedness and let your
leirs settle the bills"
The fifth explains
1--WE should have charity for all. whea

A sixth is recorded
'Pohteness costs nothing, but it is not er-
pected that you will wake a man up at mid.
aightto ask permission TO go through hishen-
house. 1t is more courteous to let him enioy
his needed repose."
The seventh and last was noted down as
follows:
when you pick up an apple-core do not
and fault because it is not the apple itself,
but be satisfied with the grade of descent.
Do not be ashamed of your occupation. We
cannot allbe lords, nor can we all be Migrants.

that is, tell 'em you are a Chicago fire suf-

raendship. They VINO turn from the scenes
Of distress betray their hypocrisy, and prove
that interest only moves them. If you have q
friend who loves you, who has studied your
interest and happiness, be sure to sustain him
in adversely. Let him feel that his love was
not thrown away. Real fidelity may be rare,
but it exists-in the heart. They only deny
its worth and power who never loved friend
or labored to make q friend happy.

Sleep, DIR. w. A.. Hammond says, ma.
be defined ns general repose. Almost NIL Ill,
orgnns rest during sleep. The heart rests 81,
hours out of tho twenty four. The brain is
constantly employed during wnkefulness. 1t
is true that sleePdoes not obtain the brain n
total recess from labour: imagination and
memoryare often vividlyactivc during sleep
and unconscious cerebatiou likewise takes
place, but enough rest is obtained for tho
renovation of the brain, and that VIII ch LG-
been used dnring wakefulness is to n certain
extent reformed. Sleep is most wonderful
powcr--oiteu stronger than thewill, as IN tile
caseof the sleeping sOldier-and more mighty
thnn pain, as when sick persons aud tortured
prisoners sleep in the midst of their suffering
No torture it is said, has been found equal to
the prevention of sleep. The amount of
sleep needed differs according to the consti-
tuition and habits. Big brains and persons
who perform much brain abo. need a large
amount of sleep. Children need more sleep
than grown people, because construction is
more active than decay i'll their brains.

TEHE UNKNOWN.

At the time when wreaths of evergreen
are entwined and chaplets of flowers are
woven for the graves of soldiers, North
and South, the thoughts of many sadly
turn toward those silent mounds which
are so suggestive of utter loneliness and
neglect; the graves of the unknown dead.
They are grouped in cemeteries every
where, and they dot battle-felds here and
there as startling monuments of the spot
where valor fought and fell to receive no
other reward than an unmarked grave.
Under directions from the President,
Gen. D. B. Sacket, of Lieut.. Gen. Sher-
idan's staff made tour Of observation
among the National Cemeteries, from
which he has recently returned with COM
plete statistics of the burials in the ceme-
teries which were visited. These burial
places are all in excellent order, and the
inspector highly compliments the super
intendents in charge of them. The Chal-
mette Cemetery at New Orleans, which
is one of the most extensive, contains the
remains of over 10000 soldiers, almost
one-half of whom are enrolled among the
unknown" In the cemetery at Natche2
repose the bones of more than 5000 men,
every one of them except 800 belonging
to the mighty host of the unknown.
The soldiers metropolis at Vicksburg
contains an army of 1886 men, and
more than 10000 of the humble boards
which mark their resting place bear that
same solitary Observation-Disclosures"

The Colosseum.

Among the many stupendous architcc-
tural works of antiquity which surprise US
by their extent, their beauty and the won
derful difficulty of their construction the
Roman Colosseum stands out prominent, its
ruins refuse to perish, and there they stand,
in colossal majesty, the astonishment of all
beholders. So with Carboline, the deodor-
lied extract of petroleum. 1t Is the most
stupendous work of chemic art Prepared
without the aid Of acids or alkalies and
without distillation. 1t is free from color,
completely deodorized and agreeably per-
fumed. 1t is so pure, in fact that it can be
taken internally without the slightest in
convenience to the most delicate organism,
and so penetrating in its nature that ap-
piled as hair dressing and restorer, it
seems to penetrate to the roots of the hair
at once and sets up radical change from
the start. 1t is the only article that will
restore the hair on bald heads, eradicates
dandruff, soften and beautify the hair, and
is the best hair restorative ever invented.

THE resolution directing the City Clerk
to advertise for proposals for doing the
city advertising has been abstracted from
its place, and could not be acted on by
the Finance Committee yesterday. There
is nothing strange about this. Similar
tricks to cause delay were practiced last
year. The object is to permit the organs
to 60 on publishing the advertising at
full transient rates instead of having to
compete in price with other papers. II
is very expensive to the city, but if peo,
ple will elect to Council men of no moro
honesty or sharpness than those who per

WE do not believe that the Cleveland
Leader is right in its conclusion that
Banning will be renominated in the Sec
ond District. But its second conclusion
is correct, namely that if he should be
renominated he will be beaten by Gov
ernor Tom Young. A man to run sue
cessfully against Governor Young must
be able to carry solid Democratic vote,
Irishmen and all. No one who relies on
his record as a Liberal can do that. II
will be plainly said that Young is as
much of Democrat as Banning, and the
choice is merely one of men.

thousand sleeping soldiers, and more

laid in their graves by men who knew
not either their histories or their names.
The burial ground at Port Hudson is lit
orally one solid mass of graves Almost
four thousand colored soldiers rest there,
but the names of only five hundred are

a grand army of nearly forty thousand
soldiers resting from their battles in as
many nameless graves, and there are no
doubt just as many homes that miss
these brave men, and wonder at their fate.
When in addition to these we consider
the great multitude that found hurried
graves on battle-tields, we stand silent
and awe-stricken in the presence of that
mighty host which is marshaled beneath
the banners of the unknown. They were
brave as any, some of them were Of the

flee, the consummation of all their
knightly valor was to fall at last into
nameless graves.

full, all the more abundant in their wealth
