their friction with the chute logs. They
descend the LOO feet Of the chute in
fourteen seconds. In doing so they
. drop 700 feet perpendicularly. They
strike the deep water of the pond with Il
report that can be heard mile distant.
Logs fired from cannon could scarcely
have greater velocity than they have at
the foot OF the chute. Their average
velocity is 100 feet in a second through
out the entire distance, and at the in
slant they leap from the mouth their
speed must be fully 200 feet per second.

chute is perhaps fifteen feet above the

from the chute cleaves the air and alights
on the floating log. You know how a

II. Baldwin, of Monroe City, Ind
writes under date OF Dec. Sd, 1877, that
his wife used DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription with wonderful results. It eff
fected her entire cure, after several
physicians had failed. The many similar
letters positively affirming that the Fav-
orite Prescription had cured the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women, in
duced DR.. Pierce to sell it under a guar
antee. Ladies need no longer submit
to useless and painful local treatment,
as the Favorite Prescription is safe,
sure, and speedy cure. Hundreds who
hal been bed-ridden for years have been
restored to perfect health by its use.

The Three Wise Men.
BY JOEL BRUSH

Three wise old men were they, were they,
Who went TO walk on a winter day.
One CARED a club 10 dig for pickle;
One wore an ulster to keep of pr1ckles:
The third, and he was the wisest one,
To XIII the mosquitoes, carried gun.
"Oh dear ~ cried one, Three wise women see
The only chance for our lives is to fee y
SO they ran till they reached the great north pole
And up in the stealthiest way they stole;
But high at the top sat Polar bear,
Which filled the three wise men with despair.
One used his club for parachute
One from the stock of his gun Gid shoot:
The third, in the ulster, tainted away,
And there he'd have lain to this very day,
II the three old women had not appeared,
And found them all more hurt than skeered.
One famed the ulster into life,
For which he gladly made her his wife:
One caught the club man on her ladder
II was hard to tell which felt the madder,-
And the third, before he had time TO ask it,
Carried the sportsman off in her basket.

Not impossible.

Ex-Congressman Waddel of North Caro-
lima, an extreme Southern Democrat, has be-
come disguised with the Northern members
of his party, and writes to friend in Wash
ington that the time has come for the South
ern Democrats to break away from their
Northern allies. The latter urged the former
to go to work and make "solid South "
which would enable the Democratic party
to control the government. The Southern
Democrats took their Northern allies at their
word, and by resorting to extraordinary and
violent methods succeeded in making the
South solid. This was no sooner done than
the Northern Democrats got alarmed at the
success of their scheme, and left the South
ern Democrats to work out their own saliva
ton. The result has been that the South is
worse off now than they were before, and
give any hope that the Democratic party is
likely to come into power again for many
years to come. Under this condition of
affairs, Colonel Waddell says it is the true
policy of the South to refuse to go into the
next national Democratic convention, but
to hold separate convention, and support
the nomination of General Grant for presi
dent. He believes that large part of the
rank and file of the Democratic party in the
South would like to see Grant president
again, and that they will fare better under
him than if a Northern Democrat is chosen
He says that Grant can and will receive thu
electoral votes of several of the Southern
states, because many of the best Democrat
of the South are tired of the Z" solid South,
and want to see it broken up in the interes
of peace and prosperity.

General HOOker's Funeral.

The funeral rites of this gallant officer
were observed in Cincinnati on the 9Th inst.
The remains lay in state at the Second Pres
byterian church till one o'clock, when the
funeral occurred. Rev. DR.. Skinner read
the funeral service and made short prayer.
Chaplain Earnshaw of the soldiers home
delivered an eloquent eulogy, in which he
said; "On the day of his death | received
letter from him. 1t was about the unveil-
ing of the equestrian statue of General
George H. Thomas at Washington on the
Goth. IN meet you there he said. We
will be there, but he will not. ask for a
statue for General Hooker. have pic
ture of it in my mind now. 1t must be on
white charger on the top of Lookout hill
Some may say that the location will give
rise to sectional feeling. But know that
the men who met Hooker in fair and
square fight will not object. And when all
in this nation shall learn that to defend the
country was righteousness, want it to stand
there in the white clouds of a peaceful sum-
mer sky, after the storms have passed"
Rev. Thomas Lee made brief prayer and
pronounced the benediction. The body was
then borne from the church on the shoulders
of eight soldiers of the thirteenth infantry,
and it was followed by mourners and six
teen pall-bearers, the audience standing in
respectful silence. While the services were
being held in the church, the procession
formed on Eighth street, under command
of General Dickinson. The casket was
placed on gurecarriage, and the procession
marched through the principal streets to the
city limits, where it halted and opened
ranks, and the carriages and catafalque, &C
companied by military escort, proceeded
to Spring Grove cemetery. Thousands o.
citizens lined the route of the procession a,
it wound slowly through the city to the toll
ing of bells and the solemn dirges of mill
tary bands. The cemetery was not reached
till twenty minutes past five. No salut
was fired over the grave, and the casket wa
placed in the Burnett vault where it will
remain until the Hooker vault is prepared

made, in the same cemetery.

The GREAT SwIMMER.-The suit which
has made Boyton famous consists of a tunic
and trousers, with rubber coat inside the
tunic, and lighter rubber trousers inside the
suit proper for better protection from water.
In the tunic are three air chambers-one in
the chest, one in the back and one behind
the head, from the neck upward, which raises
the head and tightly incloses the head-piece
around the face. The chambers are be-
tween the lining and the outer rubber, and
are inflated easily by means of rubber tubes,
through which air is blown. The trousers
contain four compartments, with air cham
bers extending from the hips to the ankles,
and each leg of the trousers has chamber
front and rear. There is also stout leather
lapel over the ridge of the metallic band on
the waist of the trousers TO prevent the
breaking of the band when coming in con-
tact with rocks. The lower part of the
tunic is so constructed as to fit, or to be
mortised into ridges in the metallic waist
of the trousers, and heavy rubber belt is
then drawn over all to keep the tunic and
trousers together and render them perfectly
water-tight. The suit is used largely in the
life-saving service. The captain was born
in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, but for twenty.
five years has been roaming over the world {;
and he claims no more definite home to-day
than this country, whose flag he floats when
ever he is giving an exhibition in foreign
lands.

Woman Suffrage.

The American Women's Suffrage Asso-
citation at Cincinnati, on the 9th inst, APP
pointed committee to present in a proper
manner memorials to all church organiza-
tions asking that equal rights be granted to
all members, irrespective of sex. Auxiliary
societies were urged to circulate petitions
asking for school, presidential and municipal
suffrage, and present them to their respec-
tive legislatures. The New Hampshire
Woman's Suffrage Association, in their an
nual meeting at Concord, through their
president, Mrs. White, congratulated the as
ISOLATION upon the passage of the law allow
ing women to vote for school officers There
were some fears that the last legislature
might repeal this enactment, but instead OF
such action, the legislators added aprovision
to the law which allows women TO fill posi-.
tions of clerk and moderator in school meet
ings. In referring to the general moral con
dition of women, Mrs. White said that the
two great enemies to her safety aud happi
ness were intemperance and the social evil
The resolutions rendered thanks to the legis
lature for what ithad already done expressed
qualification at the progress of the Woman
Temperance Union as an aid toward obtain
ing suffrage; recommended the appoint
ment of female physicians in hospitals 70
insane women, and the selection of womei
to fill official positions in female penal inst
buttons; and expressed sorrow over tn
deaths of Mrs. Jacob Ii, Ella of Rocheste
aud William Lloyd Garrison.

The Standing Problem.

The Ute Indians are undoubtedly among
the most savage and treacherous OF red men
with whom the government has to deal.
They have shown persistent enmity 10 the
whites even when everything seemed to be
at peace, and determination to do all the
harm possible whenever it could be done
with impunity.
Under these circumstances the safe arrival
Of the women and children saved from the
late massacre at the house of Chief Ouray
is matter of congratulation. They report
that their lives were spared through the in
| terposition of Susan, the sister OF Ouray,
who even did the most unusual thing OF 60
| ing into the council of the Indians and
pleading that the captives be spared. Her
conduct and that of her brother shows that
there are exceptions to the general depravity
of the Ute Indians.
The outbreak, according to Mrs. Meeker's
| report, may be attributed to four things,
viz /: Repeated changes and lessening amount
of rations issued to the Indians; no head
chief the same as Ouray is here; Ute In.
dian for interpreter unfrendly 10 Meeker,
aud plenty of bad whiskey furnished by the
ranchmen. All of these causes put together
are not sufficient to excuse such abominable,
cold. blooded murders, and yet it must be re-
membered that the perpetrators are savages,
with brutal instincts, and wild passions in
famed with whisky. They see no reason
for the continual changes in the arrange
ments the government makes for them.
Adding this to their naturally warlike de-
sires, and the result is not to be wondered at.
A discussion as to the causes of the
trouble is, however, idle, for the only ques-
ton now is as to the prevention of future
difficulty. 1t has been so long before the
public unanswered, or at least not answered
successfully, that people are in despair of any
thing being done short of completely ami
hilating the Indians, to bring relief.

Too LATE.-The Charleston (South Car
olina) Courier calls on all the Southerners in
Washington to resent what General Garfield
said at the prisoners reunion in Ohio by So
cially ostracizing him in Washington. That
would be very fine, but fortunately the
Southern element at Washington has not
the power to ostracize anybody. The prob
lem is not whom the Southerners will ad-
init to their circle; but who will admit the
Southerners. The rawlings of the Courier
are very stupid. 1t makes the common mis-
take of imagining that the whole people Of
the South are held responsible for the afro
cities of Andersonville. The responsibility
of the Southern people only extends to their
support of the brutal leaders who planned
and committed those atrocities, and the mo
ment they will disclaim that JEFF Davis and
his crew were their accepted and approved
agents in every act of the war, then that re
sponsibility ceases. If they, however, pre-
fer to continue to accept and indorse Mr.
Davis and all that he did, we do not see oil
what grounds they can claim exemption from
the odium of Andersonville.

The Coming Needle.

The American General Loring, lately of
the Egyptian army, furnishes some interest
ing facts concerning the last of Cleopatra's
needles, which is about being shipped to this
country. He says it is the only object of
historical interest left in Alexandria, and is
the first object one sees in approaching the
city from the sea. The obelisk that went to
England had been buried for hundred
years in the sand some thirty feet from the
one standing. Both were brought from
Heliopolis by Cleopatra and placed in front
of the palace of the Caesars. The New York
obelisk is much better preserved than the
English trophy, and the writing on it is
more distinct. 1t is one Of the oldest obelisks
in the world, and was constructed during
that splendid era of art of the twelfth dy-
nasty, thousand years before Joseph. Not
a man in Egypt could realize that the Khed-
i've had given 1t away. They were all
wondeisstruck. When England was moving
her obelisk there was general rejoicing in
Egypt when the rumor came back that it
was lost in the sea. The obelisk is the
color of brown-stone front on Fifth avenue.
1t came from the famous quarry six hundred
miles above Cairo and is about seventy feet
high. The granite, fresh from the quarry,
sparkles like jewels. The grandest of all
obelisks is still sacred in the temple of
Karnak. 1t is hundred feet high and is
the most beautifully cut and engraved of all
known obelisks. The one in Paris was in
this temple and is the second in hight in
the world. There is one in the quarry like
the one at Karnak. The New York obeisk
is thousand years older than either of the
others. The most interesting one, historically,
is still at Heliopolis. 1t was cut 1904 years
B. c., aud preserves all the style and grand
eur of the finest sculpture of that brilliant
epoch of Egyptian art. II is the only object
left of the splendid city of On. 1t stood in
front of the Temple of the Sun, of which
Joseph's father was the priest, where Moses
learned his Egyptian wisdom and where
Plato, Scion and Pythagoras learned their
philosophy. General Loring also says that
the ex Khedive was very much surprised
when England paid the Alabama claims it
persuaded him that no country in the world
so fearlessly held England responsible for
her acts as the United States. Thereupon
he imagined that American friendship might
avail him something, and he made us pre-
sent of the obelisk.
