Na+a--o In InuIus

There is nothing in India that is so constant 9 surprise as nature. Your eyes are accustomed to your own flowers and forms of forests and garden growths
 the oak, the ash, the sycamore, the modest daisy, the wholesome, virtuous clover that blossoms over meadows and valley. You look in vain for the old forms that were so pleasant to you in chilChood-that were always friends when the world grew dark and sorrows swept over your young and trembling life. The trees are new. You have heard of them in poems, in ghost stories, in Arabian tales, but in India they are around you. Here is the mango, a noble tree, that gives a pleasant fruit, said to be among the atonements of an Indian residence, but which we shall not see, leaving Hisdostan before it ripens. Every one has been telling us of the comfort we shall find in the mango. and that, although we come from the land of fruits, we shall surrender our peach and pear and Newton pippins to the mango. All we have seen of it has been some candied mango, so killed by the sugar that it might as we'll have been pumpkin or melon rind, sent to us by some of the Maharajahs. We have also had it as a curry, but the spices reducedit into such 8 condition that it might have passed iOl ladlSli oI <. <hS. e 1fs-C IL iS royal and green and rich Here we, see the tamarind, under which you are for bidden to pitch your tents because of the unwho lesome exhalations. Here is the pipel and the Japanese acacia; the banana, with its hospitable leaves; bam- boos, the orange and the lemon; cactus until you are weary of cactus; a very world of ferns, and the rose in endless profusion. Animal life has a freedom that is unusual to our rapacious eyes accustomed as we are to look upon every thing that God has made as something for man to kill. Here the religion of the natives, which throws over all ani- nal ..ature protection, has it's influence. As you stroll over the walks of an Indian garden or look out upon an Indian forest you see animal life in all forms. The monkey is more common than squirrels at home, and over your table as you gather about it the birds of prey assemble and circle around and around until your meal is done and it comes their turn to take your place.

Buried by Lightning.

From the village of Tecumseh, Michi- gan, are received the particulars of one of the most peculiar freaks of lightning lately recorded. The village sexton, John O'Connell, was engaged in digging a grave when one of the recent thunder storms came over. There was blind ing flash of lightning accompanied by an instantaneous report, as it seemed, directly in the grave. and MT. O'Connen found himself prostrated in the bottom of the grave, which was nearly com pleted. The whole surface and sides of the grave were plowed up, and The him. self was half buried in lose earth He tried to rise and was unable Co, and thought at first his lower limbs were severed from his body. They were com pletely bereft of feeling, and he had lost all use of the muscles. Gradually, how ever, feeling was restored, and he was able to rise, when he found both boots completely shattered and the lowerparts of his trousers torn but himself unin- ured. A general, feeling of lassitude and weakness followed, but this soon passed of, and equipped in new boots and pantaloons, he was soon wen.-Ciss. ciss1sati EssqusTer.

To Make Ice-Cream.

One quart of milk, the yolks of four eggs, one large spoonful of four stirred to 8 smooth paste in a little of the milk, and one pound of sugar; scald until thick, taking care not to let it burn. When cold, add one quart of whipped cream and the beaten whites of four eggs i; flavor to suit the taste, and it is ready to be frozen. ....-.- .-.,
 To make ice-cream nicely and quickly, a suitable apparatus is indispensable e. If one has no freezer, tin pail with a closely fitting cover can be made to an swer. Set the pail in basket-a large peach basket is good; pack equal quan- titles of coarse salt and finely broken ice around the pail, nearly up to the rim. pour the prepared cream into the pail, taking care not to get any sat into it i; cover the whole with flannel and leave for twenty minutes, that the cream may chill. Freeze by turning the pail half way round and back, and every few minutes open the pail and stir the cream !; for this purpose use smooth stick. Work fast while the pail is open as the air that reaches the cream delays the freezing process. Have damp napkin at hand to wipe away the salt from the freezer every time that it is opened. It may be necessary to renew the ice and talt while shaking, as the freezing mix ture must be kept close to the sides of the pail. When the cream becomes solid, cover again with flannel, and if conve- nient, let it stand for an hour before serving. NetO Yorbe2.

An Indian ofncenolder's Request.

The following letter has been received at the Indian Office in Washington from Agent J. Hertford, dated Sac and Fox Agency, Indian Territory.
 Henry Jones, our agency blacksmith, has called this day to make the follow ing statement: He said that some years ago he was poor, and that his present prosperous condition in life is mainly due to his persevering habits of industry, aided by the Indian Department in giv- ing him salary of $70O 8 year for his service. Nine years ago he was 8 blanket Indian, and spent most of his time in the rural sports of his people, without a care for the morrow. Being naturally gifted with intelligence, he reasoned with himself, unaided by advice from others. that hehad at least the intellect ual advantages which would enable him to emulate the white mans ways in good habits. and he accordingly pushed for ward to reach that goal which would render himself and family comfortable and happy. He has, now one hundred head of cattle, besides mules and horses; forty acres of good land, adjoining the agency, twenty of which are in corn; a good house, barn, and a well. In con- sequence of these agreeable surroundings he feels that he can live with less salary than he has been receiving. and that the remuneration for his services as black smith tor this fiscal year may be 5000 instead of $700 as heretofore. He de- sires at the same time to return thanks for the encouragement he has hitherto received at the hands of the honorable Secretary of the Interior andtlie honor- able Commissioner ofIndian Affairs.

Little Barbara.

Pretty Barbara, ripe and red, With sweet small mouth like the bees a5ed. And full of nectar and honey-dew; So ettya hing, dare not swear To tneart D ribbon that ties her hair Or the buckle that brnds her shoe; So like her each trinket she has to wear, It seems just as if it grew, Like rose in its petals and pollen dust, That wears its beauty because it must,
 And something like Barbara. leo. As sEe dips her small tin bucketin
 The little fountain of woven glass, Like webs that the spiders weave and spin
 To hang on tine shining blades of grass, face as bright and happy as hers, In the nets of the silken gossamers,
 Looks out ot the waters smooth eclipse, As if it was happy to hold within it f The soft verbena red of her lips, And kiss and caress her just for a minute,
 In the arms of the. dimples, smooth and
 Ere it goes and soberly turns the mill. For life to her in the honey-dew
 Is nothing yet but the wayside spring, Between the upper and under blue,
 That makes a fiction of everything, As perfectly like as ii it grew;
 And she is too happy to see within ii
 The shape oi her small sweet self minute From the bow in the hair to the tie of hes
 shoe,
 To know that the marvellous shadows near The simple inner beauty that shows But now in the color ot a rose,
 And now like the waters smooth eclipse, In hearts that hold her picture still, As we go and soberly turn the mill. Hdrper's -HGgd-iSc.

Nobody Left in Town.

Factories buzzing, whirring, whizzing, Belts and cogs revolving, turning, Boiler issing. izzling, fizzing,
 Yet moody in town. Street cars running, rumbling, jumbllng' scarecrow horses falling, dying, e.-s Drivers iostling, swearing, cursing, -.-
 Yet nobody left in town. Mason's trowel juggling, changing Blasts up town exploding, banging, Painters on dizzy ladders hanging,
 Yet nobody left in town. Editor at desk perspiring, Collar loose and shirtsieeve flying His ink-dried pen audily ing,
 Yet nobody left in town. "I," roads loudly o'erhead changing, In upper bedrooms engines clanking, Perspiring toilers all night blanking,
 Yet nobody left in town. Mails going, mails coming, Business in postofiice humming, From door to door the carriers running,
 Yet nobody left in town. Customs scribes on high stools writing, Tide walters dutiable goods fighting, And laden steamers daily sighting,
 Yet nobody left in town. Milliner girls their needles plying, For beach and mountain daily sigt ing, workwomen in garrets slowly dying,
 Yet nobody left in town. Thousands out of garrets tumbling, Steps and pavement thickly crowding, In miles of streets ten thousand gasping,
 Yet nobody left in town. Milkmen, as ever, madly screeching, Butcher carts with carcass rocking, Thief and burglar prowling, sneaking,
 Yet nobody left in town. In car and steamer, coming, going, Buying, selling, marrying, dying, Eating, drinking, courting, signing,
 Yet nobody left in town.

The canvass Of the votes cast in the
State of Maine at the recent election is
completed, and the Democrats have
majority in both branches of the legis-
lature, and will elect Democratic State
officers and United States Senator. The
Republicans are making very wry faces
about it, but as they do not claim that a
reversal of the result can be obtained by
bringing the case before the supreme
court Of that State, which we believe is
Republican and would favor that party
as much as possible without plainly vio-
lating the law, it is plain that the Repub-
licans have bad case. The canvassing
board threw out the returns from GER
tain districts where irregularities had &C.
Cured in respect to the election, other
wise the Republicans would have had a
a majority of the legislature. Since this
was done for reasons that even the Re-
publicans apparently concede would be
sustained by the supreme court, it does
not appear that the Republicans have
sufficient cause for the uproal they are
making about it,

From our Regular Correspondent.
Rovalton, Dec. II, 1879.
Mr.. Charles Foster has bought lot of
J. D. Logan, and lumber for his house is
on the ground.
The debating club met at the depot on
Saturday evening last, for the purpose of
organizing and electing officers for three
months. There were quite a number
present, and considerable interest was
manifested. The bylaws which were
presented by Miss Mary Green were
read by the Secretary and adopted,
after which the club proceeded to elect
their officers, which resulted as follows
For president, F. A. Hardy; vice-pres-
ident, Charles Foster; secretary, E.. A.
Bowers; treasurer, j. D. Logan. After
some remarks the president appointed
E. A. Bowers and Miss Green a commit
tee on programme for next meeting. Be-
fore the close the committee presented
the following question for debate: "Has
intemperance caused more misery than
the late war;" Prof Robert Brown
takes the affirmative, Rev. j. s. Bouck the
negative. Mr.. s. Kicker and Mrs. F. A.
Hardy were appointed committee on mu-
sic. Aside from the debate there will be
singing and a good time generally. Before
the meeting adjourned it was proposed to
have an oyster supper New Years night,

effect. The price of tickets is fixed at
fifty cents, and limited to fifty. They
can be had the first of the week at New
mans store, and of station agent Hardy.
The programme will consist of singing,
playing, etc. Mrs. F. A. Perley has &C
