Couldn't Fool Him.

A gentleman called his servant one
day and informed him he wished him
to learn the names of the books in the
Bible. "Now," said he, 81 will tell you
the first one, and during the day will
ask you whatsit is, to see if yon remem-
Der; it is Genesis" Later in the day
Bob was called, but he could not re-
member what it was. "Now," said his
master, Il have way to impress it on
your mind so you cannot forget it.
Now, Bob, We have an old horse in the
stable. What do we call it?" Jenny"

The land to which other cats go.

HOW A PARROT PRAYED.

The NeUs, which is Baltimore paper,
says that the parrot used to be in the
room in which the Captains family met
to pray. One morning the parrot went
ont into the garden, when large hawk
flew down and caught the parrot in his
claws, bearing it of over the tree tops.
All at once the parrot shrieked out
ooh, Lord, save us! Oh, Lord, save
us" which frightened the hawk so
much that he dropped his prize. The
parrot had not forgotten the prayer of
his master, had he?
ADoG WITH GOOD SENSE.
Lieut.. Thomas H. Walker, Of the vii
lsge of Durham, in the State of New
Hampshire, has a dogpamed Jake. The
Aduertiser, a paper printed in New
market, which is a neighboring town to
Durham, tells of many wonderful
things that Jake has done. His master
has only to say, Jake, bring in some
wood" and Jake, wagging his tail, will
bring five or six sticks from the wood
pile, holding the sticks in his mouth.
But there is not room to relate any
more of Jake's doings.
HOW THIEF WAS CAUGHT.
Crows are very bad thieves. They
steal so much corn that farmers think
they are the worst birds in the world.
AS farmer in Ulster county, in the
State of New York, was passing through
his corn-feld, he found crow held
fast between an ear of corn and the
stalk on which the ear grew. The crow
had been caught, could not free itself
and so died before the farmer found it.
THE PARROT AND THE CHICKENS.
This is an old story, but perhaps
many have not heard it before: A man
had very wicked parrot, who swore
terrible oaths. To cure the parrot of
such bad habit he was plunged in
cold water every time he used language
of the kind. One rainy day the parrot

INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.

mer in the vicinity Of Poplar River Indian
Agency. It appears that the government
has taken official notice of the hostiles who
have been crowding the agency Indian and
running off their buffalo. The later protest
and the authorities propose to support their
protest with the army. These Indians are
invaders from the British side and liberal
Interpretation of their status will warrant
Gen. Miles in scoOping them up as he did the
Cheyennes, NeZ Perces and BanOcks.
Last week w. A. Peterson, formerly of
this city, and his partner, Mcdonald, were at
tackled by Indians at their wood rancho, in
the neighbOrhood of Glendive creek Nc
Donald was fatally wounded and Peterson
shot through the thigh with an arrow. Nc
Donald died but Peterson will recover Two
companies of the Fifth Infantry under Cap
tains Ever and Snyder were sent out from
Keogh by Gen Miles to run down the Indians
and punish them.
Since the above was written Geo. Wilson
has arrived from the Yellowstone country
and reports that the Indians have driven off
all the settlers and wood yard men from the
north side of the river and may be expected
to cross to the south side as soon as the river
can be crossed by their war parties. Indeed
one party of seventeen did cross and attack
ed the mail station at Spring Creek, but were
drived off. One of the ranch men, Montague,
was shot through the hand. At Fairpoint,
the ranchers have one Indian scalp nice and
fresh. One man is missing from the Porcu-
pine and he is supposed to have been killed.
The outlook presents lively appearance and
all who visit the north side of the Yellow
stone are invited to fasten on their scalps with
q needle gun.
A company of soldiers have been ordered
to Poplar Greek from Buford to quiet the
troubles there.
REPORTS CONFIRMED.

Mustaches q bar 10 Credit.

A. correspondent of the Boston Journal
tells the following story of his experience in
that city in 1847 or 1848: l was then young
man just entering business, and had the i'm
pudence to allow what little beard nature had
blessed me with to grow, not excepting the
upper lip. q do not think there were more
than two or three men in Boston who dared
to wear a mustache, and they were for
eigners.) One day l had applied to the
Washington Bank for discount. The Presi-
dent was the father of j. Charles Baldwin,
whose residence was at or near the corner of
Essex street. The notes were returned with
word that nothing was DONE" As l had
never been refused before, l thought it
strange, and l interviewed the Cashier, who
referred me to the President. found him in
his room, and. approaching him, asked why
the notes could not be discounted. Raising
his eyes and scanning my face, he replied:
1--WE cannot discount notes for person who
wears shoe-brush on his face" Argument
was useless. and rather than give up the mus
tache (Which has never been shaved to this
day,) removed my account to another bank

Personal Health and Comfort.

The following simple rules for preserving
health and personal comfort, if not new to
some of our readers, are none the less i'm
portant to every one. The object of brush
ing the teeth is to remove the destructive par
ticles of food which, by their decomposition
generate decay. To neutralize the acid re-
sulting from this chemical change is the OBJ
ject of dentrifices - stiff brush should be
used after every meal, and thread of silk
floss or India rubber passed through between
the teeth to remove particles of food. Rims
ing the mouth in lime water neutralizes the
acid. A sun bath is the most refreshing and
life giving bath that can be taken. Always
keep the feet warm and thus avoid colds. To
this end, never sit indamp shoes or wear
foot-covering fitting and pressing closely.
The best time to eat fruit is half an hour be-
fore breakfast. A full bath should not be
taken less than three hours after meal
Never drink cold water before bathing. Do
not take bath when tired. Keep a box of
powdered starch on the wash stand and af-
ter washing, rub pinch over the hand. 1t
will prevent chapping. If feeling cold be-
fore going to bed, exercise; do not roast
over a fire.

DeIicacy Of Mint Scales.

from the New Orleans Times.]
The fine gold-weighing scales made in
Philadelphia for the New Orleans Mint, and
placed in position Yesterday, are marvels of
mechanical invention and accurate workman
ship. The larger Of the two has capacity
of 10, 900 ounces troy, or about 6S6 pounds
avoirdupois, and when loaded to its full
weight, will indicate variation of 1-1OOO
part of an ounce, or IL, ,000, 900 part OF its
weighing capacity. Another pair of scales
is the one intended for weighing gold only.
1t has bearings composed of the finest sgates.
which have been ground with wonderful pre-
cision. So delicate is this machine that it
will give the precise weight Of human hair,
and is susceptible to the slightest atmospheric
changes. Millions of dollars worth OF prec-
ious metals will be weighed Annually upon
these scales.

The Russian Soldiers SOlace.

The Russian soldiers are said to live and
fight almost wholly upon tea. The Cossacks
often carry it about in the shape of bricks, or
rather tiles, which, before hardening, are
soaked in sleeps blood and boiled in milk
with the addition Of flour, butter and salt, 80
as to constitute kind of soup. The passion
of the Russian for this beverage is simply
astonishing. In the depth of winter he will
empty twenty cups in succession, at nearly
boiling point until he perspires at every pore,
and then, in state of immense excitement,
rush out, roll in the snow, get up, and 60 on
to the next similar place of entertainment.
With every group or circle of tents travels
computing how many times each soldiers
pannikin is filed upon halt.

A lBiphtherial Theory.

Dr. Keith of Illinois thinks that potatoes
are the cause of diphtheria. He claims that
this theory is sustained by an experience of
twenty-n years, embracing eleven hundred
cases of diphtheria. In every one of these
cases the subjects of the disease were potato
eaters. Non-potato eaters, though living in
an infected district, escaped attack, where
upon the Baltimore Bulletin remarks: AS
there is probably not more than one person
in q hundred who does not eat potatoes, we
should imagine that it would be somewhat
difficult to establish this theory to the general
satisfaction. If DR.. Keith can prove that
everybody who eats potatoes is attacked by
diphtheria, the potato-eating world will per-
haps admit that there is death in the room.
But until he does that, they will insis: on not
being deprived of one of their favo-ite arti-
cles of food.

UnbOlted Wheat. Meal Bread.

During the administration of William Pit,
in England there was great scarcity OF
wheat, and in order to make it 90 as far as
possible, Parliament passed a law that all
the bread for the army should be made out
OF unbolted wheat-meal. History states that
the result was such an improved condition
among the soldiers as surprised them, and
also their officers and surgeons. The latter
declared that never before were the soldiers
SO healthy and robust, and that disease had
nearly disappeared from the army For a
long time this kind of bread was used almost
exclusively, but when wheat became abund-
ant its use was discontinued. The use of un-
bolted wheat meal bread has become greatly
extended throughout the civilized world dur
Ing the past generation, and every housewife
should know how to make the very best arti-
Gle and have it constantly on the table.
Children do much better upon it than upon
bread made from fine flour. In the State of
Massachusetts they have normal schools
where young men and women are educated
for teachers at the public expense. In one
of these schools, it is stated to rs upon good
authority, that the young ladies who come
there to be educated are mostly from the rur-
al districts, and that they are not we'll devel-
oped physically. Inquiry having been made
into the cause of this, is has been found that
these young women had not been well fed at
home. They are brought up on hot biscuit
and tea, and this does not supply sufficient
nourishment to develop healthy bodies. The
of wheat meal bread in all these
cases would make great difference in the
physical development, health, longevity and
usefulness of these persons.

Twenty-Five years ago the Bourbons fought
tooth and nail to make Kansas the perman-
ent abiding place of all the negroes, by Sc
curing that Territory as slave State. Now
they are as vigorously opposing the emigra-

the Bourbons opposed United States bank,
and claimed that the government had no right
to issue any money, except to coin gold and
silver. To-day good portion of that party
placed by greenbacks issued by the national
