BAMBLEs WITH NATURE.
TIFF HORNED TOAD.

The horned toad of Oregon is re-
markable creature, plentiful ON the open
plains of the district among rocks and
sand. They are usually gray, but DR..
Cooper states that he met with one ex-
ample that was Of brick red on the
back, but beneath white like the rest
These colors resemble those of the
stones among which they live, and, it is
supposed, they have the chameleon
property of changing their hue. Though
ferocious in appearance, they are per-
fectly harmless; yet the Indians believe
them to have the power of producing a
poisonous wound with their blunt
spines, just as among ourselves, the
nevis are credited with many objection
able qualities. These toads are very
slow in motion, and do not attempt to
bite. One was kept in captivity for
five months, without food, in small
box, remaining quite lively for the
greater part of the time. When irri-
tated it would. spring, in a most threat
ening manner, at anything pointed at
it, at the same time opening its mouth
wide and kissing audibly, after which it
would initiate its body, and show other
signs of anger. f-r

Going Back to Farms.

Just after the war, when inflated
prices painted pictures Of fortunes in
all kinds of city and town vacations
when banking, insurance and the agency
business were supposed to yield wealth
almost without limit, and when it was
believed that fortunes could be made by
merely organizing some kind Of stock
company and putting the shares on. he
market, there was general fockine If
young men from farms to cities and
towns, to get rich without labor. But
that delusion has ended in bitterness
and disappointment to thousands all
over the land, and proved that the game
of living by the wits is one that very
few can thrive at. We are beginning
to realize that farming possesses one
pre-eminent merritt will yield liv-
ing, if nothing more, and that is more
than can be said of many city pursuits.
1t is generally esteemed Flooding, I'M
romantic business: but this is Offset by
its exemption from the harassments and
tragic features that too often mark the
painful and exhausting struggle for the
maintenance of credit and social posi-
ton in city life. 1t requires but a
small capital to go to farming. This
offers simple solution to the livelihood
problem to all who are willing to work,
and it is gratifying to find that the fact
is beginning to be realized by many
weary of prolonged idleness in cities

A CatamOunt Huntress,

Miss Susie Jones, daughter of Capt.
Jones, pioneer settler of the county,
last week noticed that the dogs had
freed" some animal near the house,
armed herself with gun, and proceed
ed to investigate the matter. No sooner
had she approached the tree than a gi-
gantic catamount sprung to the ground.
The dogs followed in close pursuit over
tangled weeds and through the dense
willows and forests of the Tuolumne
for near a mile, when the animal again
took to a tree for protection. The
brave girl trudged on alone, with her
gun on her shoulder; and, on coming
up with the dogs, soon discovered his
catship in unusually close proximity
but, not daunted by his glaring eyes
and ferocious appearance, took deliber-
ate aim and fired The cat made a
spring, but fell to the ground dead.
Swinging the monster over her shout
ders, she carried him home in triumph
as trophy of her prowess. A friend
sent us the animal, and we found it to
be one of the largest of his species.

THE Pulvermacher Electric Belt is recon-
mended to general use for the following
reasons First, of course, for its wonderful
properties for the cure of all diseases of the
kidneys, stomach, liver, and blood Second,
for its extreme simplicity, and the fact OF
its being applied outside precludes all
possibility of any injury being done to the
patient, as an external remedy is universally
acknowledged to be safe. Another advan-
tage of the Belt is the facility with which
the progress of the disease and cure can be
watched, and If the Belt be not quite in the
right place, it can be very easily readiusted
SO as to cover the parts affected
The grea. principle of this cure is a system
OF mild, continuous, and prolonged currents
of electricity, a method which, though long
known to the medical fraternity as an eff
fective remedy, could not be used on account
of the inability of any one to perfect an
arrangement for its application. This diff
Guilty has, however, been overcome by the
invention of the Pulvermacher Electric
Belt, and its perfection has been hailed
with delight, not only by the sufferers who
have regained health, enjoyment, and new
lease of life through its benefcent qualities,
but by the medical profession, who very
frequently prescribe its use to their pa
tients.-7he Baltimore american, Dec. q,

Cannibals In New CALEDONIA.

Our Noumea correspondent gives the
following particulars of the murder of
IL men in New Caledonia: 1.-THE
place thrills with the news that in the
beginning of the week Nov 2D eleven
men were added to the list of victims
Again has over confidence in the black
demons been the snare. Three small
coasters were engaged to carry pro-
visions and ammunition to the military
force under the command of Col. Wend-
hing, operating against the rebels in
thenorth at Poya, Adie, etc. Among the
eleven men composing the three crews
was man named Marianne, whose son
was killed IN the massacre at M. Houd-
allies. This man, SO far as perfect
acquaintance with their language, man
ners and customs, was as native him
SELF He had served for years as inter-
prefer on any required occasion through
an extensive district, and among many
tribes. He seemed, in spite of the loss
of his son, to have scorned the idea
that the blacks would do anything
against him. 1t is stated that he was
warned not to go on shore, and that he
should keep strict watch. Both eau
tons seem to have been neglected. The
lamentable fact remains to be told that,
the expected provisions not arriving
search was made, and at the mouth OF
the Poya river one pillsged boat was
found, as also were traces of sanguin-
airy fight, evidenced by broken oars,
with natives hair adhering On the
borders of the river, hidden away in
the scrub, were found provisions, NUM-
tions and six native baskets filed with
freshly cooked human flesh, from which
the bones were extracted; also the
heads on poles. Two thousand rounds
of Chassepot rifle cartridges fell into
the rebels hands, and these they en-
ployed against the boats of the war
steamer Lamothe Piquet. as they were
searching the river on the 10th. A
great many shots were fired at the
Kanaks hiding in the mangroves which
fringe the rivers in New Caledonia.
The boats were struck with five balls,
but no one was injured. The sailors
could only reply by blind shots, as it
were; for it is impossible for any but
the barefooted, agile savage to move
through these mangroye swamps, a
misstep among the snakelike roots of
which involves sinking to the neck or
deeper in mud. Sidney Morning

A Fable for "the Cultured. -

There was once good little boy who
was sent by his mother to the bakery
on Sunday morning for the weekly
pot of beans. The sidewalk was slip
perry, the bean-pot was slippery, and, as
the good little boy wore nothing but
slippers on his feet, it is not at all sur
prising that he fell down, broke the
bean-pot, and anointed the sidewalk
with his mothers breakfast. While he
was weeping over his misfortune, a bad
little boy, whose mother had also sent
him to the bakery for her weekly pot of
beans, coming along, laughed and
Knocked exceedingly at the poor boys
sorrow. Now, while he was yet thus
mocking and laughing, a man running
for doctor knocked the bean-pot from
the bad little boys hands, breaking it
into pieces and spreading its savory
contents over the sidewalk, whereupon
his laughter was changed to weeping,
and he lifted up his voice and mourned
vociferously. Moral: Never pork fun
at the unfortunate, for you never know
how soon you may bean trouble your

Not only are toads harmless, but they
are absolutely and directly useful to us,
perambulating fields and gardens at
night, and devouring vast quantities Of
injurious insects which could never be
destroyed by the hand of man.
The mode in which the toad takes his
prey is very curious. Its singularly-
beautiful eye is as quick as it is bright,
and if within the range of its vision an
insect or grub happens to move the
toad is sure to see 1T, and nearly sure to
catch it. First, the toad holds his head
as high as possible, so as to make sure
of his prey, and then crawls toward it,
preferrlng to get under it if possible.
When nearly within reach it gazes in
tently at the insect, his mouth being
brought nearer and nearer. Something
then flashes from his mouth, and the in
sect vanishes as if by magic. The pink
flash is the tongue of the toad, which is
formed in rather curious way. The
base of the tongue is fixed close to the
lower jaw, and Is long and tapering, the
tip pointing down the throat when at
rest. When, however, it is used for
CdtClllHS prey, ~ 10 bnlo"h ouU Will
sort of flick" and the tip, whichis cov-
cred with q glutinous secretion, adheres
to the insect and carries it down the
toad's throat before the prey has any
time to make an effort to escape.
When the toad swallows his prey it
does it with a mighty effort, during
which the eyes almost disappear, the
size of the insect having little to do with
the demonstration. When large beetle
is swallowed it does struggle, but too
late, and for some time its struggles may
be seen through the thin and ribless
sides of its capturer; the toad sitting
the while, in perfect composure, not in
the least affected by the scratching and
kicking that are going on in its interior.
Indeed the toad's stomach seems as de-
void of feeling as if it were of iron.
Moreover, the toad not only cares
nothing for the scratching and kicking
of large beetle, but is equally indiffer-
emit to the stings of wasps, bees, and in
sects similarly armed with venomous
weapons, and will eat them with marvel
GUS appetite as if the singing acted as
sort of gentle aid to the digestion, like
cayenne pepper with cucumber.

Ours is the h. aviest cross;
And 70, ever the cry will be
Would God bad died for thee,
o Absalom, my son"
