BistpTic Rides.

Rankin who rode out OF Payne's
line, after the recent fight with the
UIes, and carried TO Rawlins the intel
ligeaee oithecond il tn CIV LAW asleft
of Thornburgh's command, made
great ride. BY a recent conspicuous
example we know that in some coun-
tries this ride would have been more
talked and writes about and have made
more noise generally than the gallant
conduct of the fellows who 'stood oil
the Utes for all those days or the sue
cessful advance that saved the COM
mand. Comparatively little has been
said about it in shis country, however,
perhaps because in the chronicle OF
our Indian wars there are so many re-
citals of the same nature that il is a
familiar story. Feats Of hOrsemanship
and endurance, in which great distance
is made in short time, and in which
the riders life is never for mom9nt
guaranteed against the shot OF some
lurking savage-these are the staple of
which the lite of n scout in the Indian
country is made up. Some OF these
rides are put on record in the recently
published autobiography eff Buffalo
Bill, and the figures presented are wor-
thy the attention OF those who are dis
posed 10 giOrify dangerous and difficult
rides. In August, 1878, Buffalo Bill
rode in twelve hours from Fort Larned
"a
miles; in the succeeding twelve hours
he carried dispatches to General Sher-
idan from Fort Larned TO Fort Hayes,
. siXty-fivc miles. From Fort Hayes he
rode in the next tweuty-iOur hours TO
Fort Dodge, niuery-tive miles; on the
next night he went to Fort Iarned,
tlirty-h miles on fOo5 and thirty
miles ou q mule: and again the nexi
night IRON Fort Larned 30 Fort Hays,
slxtv-fise miles. He made on horses,
mules and afoOt, three hundred aud
fiity-iive miles, and BE was in the sad
die OF on foot iilty-eight hours. Every
one of these four successive rides was
made through regular breakneek

tible trail bad u De followed in the OBJ
srurity OF night. For courage in the
adventure, as well as foI endurance

Earlier in life, anu Il pony express
rider, Buffalo Bill made a neatly con-
inuous ride of three hundred and

examples OF endurance, are surpassed
for speed by Rankiu'- ride, since he

How TO CLEAN MARBLE MANTLE
PIECEs.-There is nothing nastier than
greasy marble, and all the wash
ing with more soap and water will
never keep it nice. This especially ap-
plies to washing stands with marble
tops, Once week wash the tops with
a soapy flannel, dipped in powdered
whiting, and wash it well off. This
effectually cleanses It, and sometimes
you may adda little silver sand or bath
brick. Twice year smear mantle
pieces, washing stands, and consoles
with the following mixtures: pound
soda, lb. whiting, OF potash, (crush-
ed), a ID. yellow soap (scraped1. Boil
the soda and soap together first. then
add little whiting and potash. Boil all
together with enough water to make 1t
into thick paste, and stir constantly.
Put it into a jar. When cold lay it
over the marble, and leave it for twen-
ty-four hours, and then wash il of
with hot water and soap, As it burns
the hands an old iron spoon is the best
thing TO use To put it ON with, DO not
keep il in the house; make 1t when
you want it, and then throw any Ie-
naming away, as it is most penetrat-
ing and burning mixture; but quite re-
stores dIscOiored marble. The potash
is kind that you get at an oil sh op,
not at a chemists.
To CLEAN BRASS AND CoPPER.-The
following mixture will be found the
best thing for cleaning brass, copper,
tin, stair rods, taps, and even windows,
and 1t is quite worth the trouble OF
making once year, rs the quantities
/ give Will last that time, and the best
way is to store it in wide-mouthed
pickle jars of gia 5. or stone: One
pound whiting, one pound rotten
stone, one pound soft soap, one tea
cupful vinegar, as much water as will
make il thick paste. Let it boil fully
ten minutes and when nearly cold add
half pint OF spirits of turpentine.
When you use it put very little on
rag and rub the article you wish to
clean we'll with it until it becomes
bright and then polish with leather
dipped in powdered Bath brick. Un-
less YOU use Bath brick it soon tar
nishes, but Bath brick preserves the
polish.
