Typhoid Fever from Impure Ice.

Dr. Flint, of New York, has become satisfied that a source of typhoid fever exists in ice. The poison is not destroyed or impaired by freezing, but is simply held in suspension. The ice conceals what it does not kill.
 The Scientittc American in speaking on this subject, says: Whence comes our ice supplyp Often from shallow reser- voirs in the midst of neighborhoods of surface drainage from all around, under the erroneous idea that no harm will ensue, as freezing is supposed to purify and render harmless what might other wise be objectionable. Great quantities of ice are taken fl om canals, from creeks, from stagnant ponds, and from streams that are either the natural or artificial recipients of surface drainage, of the outporing of sewers, and of uncleanh- ness from various sources. The danger from ice taken from improper places Is not only from that which is drunk, but from it's use in refrigerators and preserv- atories, where milk, butter, fruits, yege- tables and meats are subject to its satur- ating influence as it vaporizes. Several instances have fallen under the doctors observation where the disease, by the most careful investigation, could not be traced to any other source. If we accept as fact tine statement positively made in the London Lancet, that it never orig mates de aaooo, but proceeds from spe- cial and specific poison, which is capa | ble of diffusion to a great extent, ane which preserves its noxious qualities fol a long period, even if buried for many months, we cannot reject the hypothesi of ice infection. | On this theory swamps and shallow nonds. and streams in which drainage i
 permitted to flow, and ponds drawn of in summer, are not only dangerous t
 the immediate neighborhood, but ma. send disease and sickness wherever tn | ice cut from them is transported. Thl
 is new peril which can easily be guarde,
 against. See to it that the ice you use
 nothing but pure frozen living water.

How an Outlaw was Caught.

A letter from Columbus, Neb., gives particulars of the capture of ' Doc :" Middleton, the notorious outlaw. Sol diers, under Detective Llewellyn, from Fort Hartsutf, and a party of citizens from Grand Island, arrived at Niobrara river by different routes, about the same time. The party proceeded immediately to the house of Middleton's father-in-law, where they captured him and five other persons. The old gentleman was given the choice of leading the party to Mid dleton's hiding place or of being hanged
 With tears falling down his face. the un- happy parent led the party, consisting of fourteen mounted men, into the high hills to the northwest. Proceeding about seven miles, the head of deep canon was reached. Large pine trees filled the gorges of the canon, from the deep recesses of which no sound came to indicate that the brigand chief was hid den there. The soldiers were quietly picketed on commanding points. Rich ardson, Middleton's father in-law, re- fused to enter the canon, saying the out laws would shoot him if they saw him through different defiles that led to the main canon. In short time the camp was discovered. The stiffness was soon broken by the ring of the rifles. Mrs. Middleton, who was in the camp, screamed for cessation of hostilties. She came up to the sheriffs of Hall and Howard counties, who told her to go back and tell her husband to surrender. She went back, and soon returned, say ing that Doe" would not give himself up. Some men worked their way cau- tiously into the camp, and it was found to be deserted. The outlaws had fled
 Middleton was discovered crawling through the grass, and in a moment a beared b sa5e for ater near ena and ns taken s w
 arms on. He said he was shot by De
 tective Hagen with Winchester the Sunday before. The wound only tenn
 porarily disabled him. He was at once taken to the top hills, and thence to tht main camp, near his fathers house, soutf of the river. The camp of the outlaws contained fruit, sugar, ammunition, bed knickknacks. The tents were piled uT and burned

The First Sewing Machine in India.

In the days when the sewing machine was in it's earliest infancy, a lady resid- ing in India imported one, and for a long time kept it's mysterious working hid from the ken of her native tailor. This functionary was the very slowest of his proverbial slow ''caste," and wasted no end of time drawling over hem and stitch. One day his mistress came to him arm laden with yards upon yards of some dress fabric. "Dirzie," says she, '' how long will it take you to run those breadths together?" "Tree day, missis, ," replies Dirzie. "Missis, please, plenty too much york; "Three days! Non sense! Three hours, you mean. You are very lazy man and I'll cut your pay. Give me the stuff I'll do it my self" Then the lady retires to her boudoir, from the inmost penetralia of which sharp and continuous click and make out what the sound is, and he is much too lazy to spet ulate on it. He continues to "chew betel," and yawningly to ply needle and thread: After an hour or two "Missis'' comes back, and throw ing at MT. Dirzie's feet the raw material now fashioned into completed skirt says: ''There! See! You wanted three days, you sleepy fellow, to finish this, and 1 have done 1t already" A5tonlshcd Dirzie turns over the drapery, examines the seams. scrutinizes the stitch. and satisfies himself that all is proper and ac- cording to tailors' rule. He is confound- ed. It passes his understanding. There I lies the work done and no mistake. But howp He springs up from the mat on which he has been squatting: he kicks over the little brass vessel which holds his drinking water; he scatters right anG left thread, needles, thimble; he stops no
 to put on his sandals or to adjust loosen
 ed turban and waistcloth. Scared ane bewildered, he runs for very life into tn, bazaar, shouting as he goes along

Words of Wisdom.

Books are men of higher nature, and the only men who speak aloud tor future times to hear.
 Whenever we have to establish new relations with any one, let us make an ample provision of pardon, of indulgence and of kindness.
 It is wonderful how silent a man can be when he knows his cause is just, and how boisterous he becomes when he knows he is in the wrong.
 No man while unhappy can show forth a true, noble manhood Everything short of cheer is medicinal, and medicine was not made for daily use.
 Being sometimes asunder heightens friendship. The greater cause of the frequent quarrels between relatives IS their being so much-together. No one is so greatly to be feared as the man who is willing to tell you all he knows, because the chances are that he will tell you great deal more. Hewho brings ridicule to bear against truth finds in his hand blade without a hilt. The most sparkling and pointed flame of wit fiickers and expires against the combustible walls of her sanctuary. | It is easy to say, "We will forget, but perhaps the hardest task given us Is to | lock up natural yearning of the heart and turn a deaf ear to the plaint, for captive and jailer must inhabit the same small cell.
 The history of the world teaches us no lesson with more impressive solemalty than this-that the only safeguard of 3
 great intellect is q pure heart; that evil
 no sooner takes possession of the heart
 than folly commences the conquest of the
 mind.
 l | In the struggle of life the hero and the , coward, the conqueror and conquered , need sympathy equally. Often the mind , which uphoIds others needs itself to b' , upheld; the honest heart that seems st f bold and true is fainting from secre e sorrow, dying from some nttie Woun'
 which sympathy could stauneh.

Fires.

The fires of 1879 continue in their de- structiveness, and new.it is estimated that the losses for the year will reach $1O5, ,o0O, ,OO0. This fire waste is na- tional disgrace, and it should be stopped. It can easily be reduced to less than one third of its present amount. What we want is more care in building, ready means of extinguishing fires in their in cipiency, severe punishment of incendi- aries and the careless who are but little less criminal There should be authority to examine into the origin of every fire, to see if it was the result of negligence or criminality, and punishments should be provided in accordance with the facts. The question of insurance should also be looked into, and if it is found that the policies have been issued carelessly, ol that the insurance prompted the fire, tht
 company issuing the policy should bt
 held responsible for it's participation. l Caaaciaaaadt3 Hetce Current.

Live and Let Live.
A FARM BALLAD.

A FARM BALLAD. Well! Farmer Smith has lost his wheat, his shed and mammoth barn; His little boy, with one small match, burnt ur the whole concern; I'll tell you, wife, he'll feel it sore; man or money bent Can't stand up under such a load when not in, sured a cent, M don't know as pity Rim; call it a great sin To hoard the harvests of three years in spacious barn and bin; a cant feel pity tor a man who doubly locks his door And stops his sars to all the cries that come ur from the poor. like to see economy, I like to see men save And lay up something for their kin when they are in the grave; Bu, you and l know very well, from what we both have seen, There is line which, when tis crossed, a nan gets to be mean. When wheat was sixteen shillings-a price that paid us we'll Smith said, "Ill wait for twenty, VOW, be- fore sell" Then, when it reached the figure, he said to me one noon. "I guess I'll hold it longer, twill be three dol lars soon.' He held it and he run in dcbttcI things to wear and eat When merehal.ss dunned him, he would say, Wait till I sell my wheat" tocn that old tune got flddled out, and men be- gun to sue, And he began lo borrow to pay accounts long due. When Smith goes off to buy a thing, he spin around the town, And tries with cdl his might and main theprco to banter down; When he has anything to sell, lis priceless in his eyes, And he mlsb have the highest price-the low. Cot when he buys. " Live and let live are golden words; the other motto, too, {" Do unto others as you'd wish that they would do to you." 1T Smith had done as they command he woulC not have to-day rbe ashes of three harvests to load and draw away, Wife, if you take berry and dry it in the sun Twill shrivel ID till it takes two to make the size of one; So many man, in srasping gnin, shrivels up his soul That twill ne'er expand again while lifo's years OCT him roll. ftod bless the farmers of our land! They arc not all like him, Who walks around the smoldering pile now il the twilight dim; Living on Gods broad acres, their souls cx pand and grow, Their enrs are ever open to tales oi want nnC woe, God bless the men where'er they are, in coun try or in town, Who do not think it's life's great work O crowD their neighbors down. This world would be better, this life would pleasure give, Ii every man who tolls to live would let hi brother live.

On Their Legs Again,

"What news to. day?" said one of our city merchants to his friend.
 "What newsp" responded the other; nothing, only things grow better. Our people are getting on their legs again."
 "On their legs" said the first; "I don't see how you make that out.
 'sWhy, yes," replied the other; folks that used to ride are obliged to walk now Is not that getting on their legs agaiy. ?'' -P Philadelphia Transcript.
