IA CTS ABOUT THE UIES.
Captain Merren in Chicago Tribune.l
They are the best dressed and
best looking Of all the Indians.
They will not work; they will fight
to avoid work. They want good
deal from the government and not
much talk. And that suggests Why
a stave was driven into poor Meek
er's mouth. It is a significant thing.
Tn all their mutilations the mouth is
generally not touched. When il is.
it means too much talk,-in Other
words, too MANY promises aud no
fulfillments. ] believe, says Cap ain
MerreI, that MeSker fulfilled e. cry
promise the government gave him
means to fulfn, but he had probably
made some promises that he couldn't
carry out. Captain Jack is great
fat lazy. cowa5dly eluttonous En-
dian. Governor Evans family we're
much annoyed by him las! year
he made himself perfectly al hurne
there, going to Mrs. Evans room
and using her comb and brush.
Finally the Governor hit upon a
plan to get rid of him By askir g him
to work. Mr.. Meeker was as COM
plete representative Of theChtistian
religion as | ever met. He blamed
me continually far hat he termed
my harsbness, and asserted that
prayers, aud Christian iuaue nee, aud
kindness would eventually bring
the Indians to q civilized life. He
met them with an olive branch IN
one hand and the bic in the other,
and prayers on his lips. He carried
GU his policy and you see the re.
suit. | told him II he did so he
would be dead mau. He was the
embodiment OF the Quaker policy.
He accepted the position Of Agenl
not for emoiumeats. bat from
sense Of duty. He was a noble
man, and | never met q purer or
more upright and devoted friend
of the Indlan than he. He could
get on his knees and pray, trusting
in God for his safety. lie often
exceeded his Instructions in his
kindness of heart. often told him
to be careful in one thing-in max.
ing promises to be sure and promise
less than lie was able 20 give-ln the
fulfillment to give little more thaH
he had promised, and to do it in as
few words as possible. The Indiaus
don't like TO talk.

POSITIVE RESULTS. There are numer-
Gus remedies that cure sometimes and
become trusted as useful, but none have
ever proved so effectual-cured so many
and such remarkable cases - as DR..
Ayers medicines.
The Cherry PectOral has restored
great numbers of patients who were be-
lieved to be hopelessly affected with
consumption.
Ague Cure breaks up chills and fever
quickly and surely.
Ayers Compound Extract of 'Sarsa-
parilla eradicates scrofula and impuri-
ties of the blood, cleanses the system
and restores it to vigorous health. By
its timely use many troublesome dis
orders that cause a decline Of health are
expelled or cured.

In the treatment of Dyspepsia ChlOrosis, Anae-
mia Nervous and Muscular Debility, Nervous and
Sick Headache, Dysmeuorrhoea, Menorrhagia,
Amenorrhoea diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder
and such like organic or functional disturbances
know of no remedy upon which can rely with
more certainty of satisfactory results than the
''Seven Springs Mass" VI. + BARR, NJ. D.,

have found no one single remedy to yield such
satisfactory results as the ''Seyen Springs Mass
In the treatment Of Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhea,
Anamia, ChIorosis, and for Chronic Eczema, find
it invaluable, associated with appropriate topical
treatment. GEO T HARRIsON, NJ. D.,
New York City.
From my experience with the "Iron and Alum
Mass, believe it will prove the best medicine we
have in use, for chronic diseases.
G. NJ D. PATTERSON, NJ. D.,
Eaglewood, Texas.
For Dyspepsia, alterations of the Throat, Infam
nation of the Neck Of the Bladder, LeucorrhGa,
ETC., the "segen Springs Mass" seems to act with
almost specific effect. E. o. CROSBY,
DeYiew, Ark.
The "seven Springs Mass" furnishes valuable
remedy to relieve Uterine Hemorrhages and this
class of female Diseases far superior to the Diays-
ed Iron. FRED HoRNER, Dr., NJ. D.,

Have been using the ''Iron and Alum Mass" in

Mary, with a Moral.

Mary had a little lamb,
It's fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule,
1t made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

tai election which may result in re-es tabishing
the Government Of this country on the principles

election with Indifference. TIE World, the

Diamonds.

The process used in cutting diamonds is
exceedingly interesting, for we all know
that the hardest substance in the world is
this stons; yet when presented to us in
the form of jewel it is cut in the most
precise and geometrical manner Dia-
monds, like most crystals of the same for
nation, can be split in certain direction;
this property, known as cleavage" allows
the first rough shape 10 be given to the
stone, and also 10 remove the outward
crust or such parts as are defective. The
stone is then fastened with cement to tho
extremity of a stick, and as nothing but
diamond can cut another, il is rubbed
against another diamond mounted in
similar fashion. Diamond dust mixed
with oil is placed between the two stones
A fiat surface, or facet, is thus formed
on each diamond. The cement is then
heated and the position Of the stones
changed, and this operation is repeated
until the diamonds show the elements Of
the shape that is ultimately to be given 60
them. The grinding and polishing to
which the stone has still to be subjected
are done on circular steel, HORIZONTAL tables
revolving at great speed aud covered with
diamond dust aud oil; the stones are held
to brass handles with soft solder. The
process is long and expensive, besides re.
quiring great skill on the part of the work,
man, who can greatly increase the value
ofthe stone by skillfull cutting. Diamonds
when cut effect either the shape of abril,
liant" or that of a ''rose." The brilliant
has fiat surface at the top, called the
"tablei from this the facets slope outward
till they reach the "girdle," or point Of
greatest width Of the stone; from there
they decrease forming an inverted pyra-
mid terminated by small facet. Rose
diamonds are made out of thinner stones,
and often chips from large diamonds, and
are cut in a pyraroid shape, the base of
which is in the setting. Almost micro
scopic roses are used for ornament in gold
work, and when set quite close together
from cdittouti. Diamonds and most pre.
cious stones are sold by weight, the unit
being the carat. The value of diamonds in-
creascs with the size more than it docs with
the weight, SO that two-carnt stone il
worth four times as much as one-carat
stone. Diamonds are most valuable when
quite pure white, but pink, black, and
dark yellow diamonds are often Of great
value. limitations Of stoaes in glass have
been made with more or less success, at
different times in different countries, bat
they can in very few instances pass for
real gems. The most dangerous counter
feits are those called doublets, where a
thin coating of real stone is applied TO a
base OF colored glass; the sapphire is Que
OF the stones that is most successfully
initiated in this way.--Harper's Bazor.
