sYExtTE or Potash.

Salt Lake Tribune.

About two weeks ago satchel be-
longing to J. b. Wallard was stolen
from the Lewis House, the terminus q
the Utah Northern Railroad, and al
though tho proprietor Of the hotel
used every means in his power e
hunt up the thieves, not clue could
be had Of the missing property The
satchel contained, besides wcaring
apparel. letters, deeds, etc, a bottle Of
syenisc Of potash, used for cleaning
copper plates.
The only well in the town is owned
by the railroad company, where teams
are watered daily, aud nearly all the
water consumed by the inhabitants is
drawn from it. A few days age two
men went to the well TO water span
Of horses, and, drawing the bucket
up. found piece Of paper, which enc
of them started in to read while the
other waterod the horses After
drinking freely the horses were being
led off when both dropped dead in
their tracks Two hogs happened
along drank some Of the water, and
the two dropped dead. The men now
became alarmed and lished around in
the well, pulled up the satchel that
had been stolen from the Lewis House.
The bottle that contained the sycnite
Of potash was found to be broken, and
the suppositipn is that in lowering the
bucket ii strnck the bottle and tho
deadly poison flowed out.
II is simply horrifying 70 think Of
the narrow escape from certain death
Of the hundreds who were using this
water daily. The satchel had been
floating around there for weeks, and
all this time the bucket went up and
down, supplying the thirsty popula-
ton with pure water, while in its
sparkling bosom lay one Of the most
deadly poisons known. The inhabi-
tants were saved at the expense Of a
valuable team and few hogs, but
how fortunate it is that the dreadful
knowledge cane al such trifing
cost.

How TO MAKE STARCH.-Ironing day-that
used to be thing to be dreaded-has now
lost it's terrible aspect; for some one who was
in the same fix, and had found the way out,
told me how to make starch that would not
stick to the iron Wet your starch with cold
water, add enough water as hot as the hand can
be borne in; dip the articles to be starched into
it; wiring out as dry as you can, and fold up,
and in half hour they will be ready to iron.
You can leave them over night, if you wish,
but do not let them get dry
CALCIMINE. Slack half bushel of lime with
boiling water, cover during process strain, add
peck of salt dissolved in warm water, and boil

for several days: keep the wash thus prepared
in a kettle, and apply as hot as possible

Memory in Old Persons.

|
| The brain is the instrument OF the
mind. Every thought and feeling is
dependent on certain changes that take
place between it and the blood. Men
tai activity may be quickened or re-
tarded, exalted or depressed, by the &C
ton of drugs upon the brain. Singular
effects are produced by cerebral disease.
Age works permanent changes in the
brain; it shrinks it's bulk and hardens
its substance. In consequence OF this
there is change of mental manifesto
tons. This mind acts more slowly IN
old persons. It does not turn readily
to new subjects, and is not capable OF
as protracted or as lofty efforts. The
feelings, too, are much lessened IN
susceptibility.
But in the memory the most marked
changes occur. Some persons who
have been more than ordinarily gifted
in this respect in old age become pc
culiarly deficient in memory. With
the aged recent facts and events are not
so readily taken up into the mental
storehouse. and what is learned is
sooner forgotten.
At the same time the past stands out
in vivid contrast with the present.
Early habits return again. For in
stance, the pronunciation Or the spelling
of youth often reappears, to the sur
prise of friends. Sins, early repented
of and forsaken, obtrude themselves
painfully on the memory.
From this we see how important it is
that the associations and habits of youth
are such as shall give only pleasure in
old age.
If one would not sink into imbecility
when the brain begins to sink, let him
cultivate all his powers right along
through life.
The aged should take special pains
to keep up their mental activity.

How Grant Lost q Finger.

The San Francisco Post tells the
following rather mythical story of an
incident in Grants military life:
GAS characteristic anecdotes of Gen.
Grant will be all the 60 for the next few
weeks, the Post has, with it's usual enter
prise and at gigantic expense, secured
the following incident, which we can
solemnly assure our readers has been
heretofore unpublished During the
terrible artillery duel which resulted in
the Confederates falling back after the
third days fight at Spottsylvania, the
One Hundred and Tenth Ohio, under
Col. McGilder, were thrice repulsed
while endeavoring to capture an i'm
portant position, and finally retreated
much distressed by a decimating fire
directed at them from corps of sharp
shooters ambushed in a piece of woods.
"Just at this juncture Grant galloped
by with his staff, and, taking in the
critical condition at once, he rode to the
front of the faltering men and pointed
with his finger at the rebel earthworks'
Before he could speak, however, the

finger disappeared. Without moving a
muscle Grant extended the second
finger of his hand and quietly said. I'VE
must have that ridge, boys; try again.
It is needless to add that the boys did
try again, and this time carried the posi-
ton with rush. AS they dashed up the
slope a surgeon hurried up and said:
"'Shall I dress your hand, General?'
"Oh, I guess it isn't necessary said
Grant, with an indescribable wink.
MY finger isn't gone. merely shut it
against the palm in this manner. It's
an old trick [ learned at school, that's
ALL And he rode off.
''Thus it is seen how presence of
mind, fertility of resource, ETC., ETC."

Washing CIother.

For the benefit of young housekeepers, who,
like myself, do their own washing, would say:
Put into the water you boil your clothes in a
teaspoon of bluing; have the water cold when
you put your clothes in; you will see how nice
and white they will be. always use the Arctic
liquid bluing; it is far superior to the box
bluing. If you have to use cleansed water,
put about two quarts of ashes in kettle, with
about four quarts of water; let it come to a
boil; then take it off and let settle, and you
have nice white lye; use about pint to two
pals of water SUNSHINE.

NV Fathers Clock.


1t stands against the kitchen wall,
NV fathers dear old clock,
Where it has stood for many year,
With ceaseless song-t1ck, tock.
The wears are swiftly passing,
Freighted with Joy and care;
And many a scene of pleasure
Was witnessed by it there.
Though long ago, yet can see
MY mothers tired face.
As we children gathered round her knee,
In our accustomed place;
To listen to her gentle words,
The good advice she gave
To be ever honest, upright.
Forgiving, true and brave
Oft upward glancing to the clock,
For seven was bed time then,
But times and things are changing,
And now they go at ten.
That dear old clock. that go1d old clock
lis in my memory yet:
The looking glass below the face
1oeUer can forget.
How oft into it have gazed,
To fix my tie Alright.
And it was Sunday night.
Just nine O'Clock. my daughter dear,
Tom must not tarry DER;
But times have changed. and now the beaux
Quite often stay till four.
Full many times I've turned the hand
Not quite an hour back,
That Tom might tarry longer then,
And still be nine O'Clock.
I'm sore afraid then forgot
My mothers caution quite.
Bout being ever brave and true,
But then twas sparkling night.
Yet Tom and are married now,
We've qlite another clock,
A dainty, pretty little toy,
With ceaseless song, tick, took.
The clock that stood 'gainst fathers wall
l never can forget,
For often have we, Tom and I,
In the kitchen by it sat.
