a Most Useful Acid.

The beneficial effects of salicylic acid
as a medicine has been much discussed
in the medical journals since 1875, when
the acid was first administered as a
remedy for rheumatism. Its antiseptic
properties render it useful in eruptive
diseases, in diphtheria; and it has the
further advantages when properly made,
of being colorless and tasteless. It kills
bacteria and other animalcul9, and
destroys the unpleasant odor of wounds
Professor Kobe, of Leipzig, in his many
experiments with acid, found that rain
or river water containing one-twenty-
thousandth of a grain thereof would
keep sweet in warm room four weeks
or more, while similar water not SO treat.
ed soon became unpleasant to the taste.
This was confirmed by an experiment
on large scale; water charged with one
gramme of salicylic acid to twenty litres
was placed on board ship for a years
voyage, and was found sweet and free
from organic matter when at the end
the casks were opened. Milk treated
with the acid remains sweet for more
than day longer than without it.
Eggs after bath of the acidifed water,
keep sweet for month in dry place
and meat sprinkled with the powdered
acid and packed in a jar acquires no I'm.
pleasant odor. Wine may be kept from
turning sour by the use of the acid
brewers find it useful in some of their
processes; and its property of preventing
putrefaction is turned to account in
the making of glue and other manu-
factures.- Chemical Journal.

a Dashing American Girl.

A very imaginative foreign correspon-
dent writes: A dashing American
girl now travelling in Europe would prob.
ably say somebody was mean old thing
if she could hear the gossips about her.
One of them says: L have actually seen
her blush like a girl, though 1 know she
had quarter of an inch creme empera-
trice and velontine on her face. She can
blush when she pleases-she does it some
how by drawing in her breath and hold
ing it so. / have watched her. She can
make tears come into her blue eyes in
some similar manner said another, 'and
she can hold one diamond tear for five
minutes just poised on the edge of her
lower lid. I've seen her DO it. When
she rsises tear she is economical of il.
as if it were real diamond, and one
who wasn't watching her would natural
ly believe she had shed dozens of tears
since that one rose"

A Great F1aseO.

The great " contest of the oars" between
Hanlan and Courtney, on the Chautauqua
lake, New York, which for months past has
been the one theme of conversation in sport.
ing circles, is now thing of the past. Court
ney, owing to beth his boats being destroyed
by malicious or interested parties during
the night, was out of the race, there being
no boat available that would suit him; so
Hanlan rowed over the course, and claims
the six thousand dollar purse. When it be-
came generally known that Courtney's boat
had been tempered with and rendered USE
less it was thought the race would be post
poned to some future date, but the referee,
Blake, decided that the race should take
place at the time appointed, hence the
"walk over" for Hanlan. Each party
charging the other with crookedness, and it
is impossible to ascertain where the fraud
lies. Blake, the referee, gave Hanlan a
check for the $1,000, and Soule says he will
resist its payment until the men have rowed
a race.

MercfIess Slang hter by Indians.

The Indians have been committing terri
bic depredations in the Rio Grande valley
and southwest of Fort Cummings for several
days past. On the 18th inst. company of
volunteers met the hostiles near Colorado
Is miles from Slocum's rancho, but after a
sharp fight had to retire, with loss of five
men. Two trains were captured by the In.
dams on the 18th, on the west side of Slo-
GUMS. In one of them eleven men, one
woman and one child were killed. In the
other all hands escaped. Both trains were
scattered and some of the oxen killed and
others left standing in the yokes. Corpses
lie all along the road. The number of PEG.
pie known to be killed within the last four
or five days aggregate about forty. 1t is
reported that nine men and two families
with the exception of two persons were
killed at McEvers' rancho, $50 miles from
Hillsboro, the women being outraged pre-
vious to the killing, and the bodies of the
men burned. Lloyd's rancho, near by, was
burned, and several Mexicans killed. This
is the most persistent fighting the Indians
have been known to do in this section.
They are in large bands and seem determin-
ed to stay in the country and fight and
make general warfare.
A courier from Merritt's command reports
that the troops are at White River agency
that they have been scouting throughout
the country for fifty miles about them and
have been unable to find a single Indian.
1t is evident that the Indians have gone
south and split into small bands going into
the various agencies. The troops will have
an all winter campaign to ferret out those
of the savage tribe who brought on the
trouhle

MurderOus Deeds.

A band of ten or twelve outlaws are COM
hitting murder and arson in the vicinity Of
Milledgeville, Ga, and openly defy arrest.
They have plenty of arms and money and
hold absolute control over the terrorized
populace. On the night of the 18th inst,
the outlaws attacked the premises of Luke
Robinson, and burned his barns, stables and
gins. Two men, standing guard, were fred
at and driven off, one being wounded. The
houses were then burned, the figures of the
outlaws being plainly seen as they stood
laughing and shouting in the light of the
flames. The governor is determined to cap
ture the Williams if it takes regiment of
soldiers.
At Madison, Ind, on the 10th inst, VIM.
Howard, ex-city treasurer, was shot and
MORALLY wounded, by Major John Simpson,

VIM. I. Bonner, an attorney, shot and
killed j. j. Wheeler, editor of the Calves

an old quarrel over a law suit.
The Underwood olbrook feud at Gray
son, KY, developed again on the 18th inst,
when Jesse Underwood was shot in the door
OF his fathers house. The Holbrook party
commanded the place and threatened death
to any one who dared to bury the body or
rescue George, who is badly wounded, and

Flannel ShrOuds.

At the restoration, the clergy took The
existing registers into their charge, and
became the national registrars. During
the reign of Charles IL, singular act
was passed, which has left conspicuous
mark on the parish records 1t was
meant to "lessen the importation of
linen from beyond the seas, and to en-
courage the wooden manufacture of this
kingdom;" and with these objects it pro-
vided that the dead should be buried in
wooden only. Compliance with its re-
suirements were often noted in the
registers; occasionally in every burial
entry individually, as at West Braden-
ham, in Norfolk, where each insertion
contains the words: "Buried in wooden.
and nothing but wooden, as appeared by
affidavit" This affidavit the statute
required to be made by the friends of
the deceased, and to be brought to the
officiating clergyman. A prejudice still
existing among the lower classes in favor
of shrouds made of flannel is. no doubt,
an outgrowth from the now obsolete
compulsory usage of 200 years ago.
