g Greenings."

A youth living on Bagg street rolled
an apple barrel to the curbstone the
other afternoon, filled it with cobble-
stones, headed it up and marked the bar
rel "Greenings-handle carefully" The
youth retired to await further develop
ments, and they soon came. A sawdust
wagon came along, and the driver jumped
down and took long look at the barrel
He probably reasoned that it had been
delivered by a grocer. and he doubt
less wondered why it had not been rolled
into the cellar. Dusk was coming on,
and the man drove off. In quarter of
an hour he returned. Greeningsn were
there yet, and he drove around the square,
took the tail-board out of his wagon, and
at len 9Th drove up close to the barrel.
No one was in sight, and he made dash
for the prize. He probably expected a
rather heavy lift, but when he felt the
weight of those cobblestones his surprise
must have been great. He gave one
awful lurch, lifted the barrel about an
inch, and as his fingers raked over the
hoops he groaned in agony and leaped
into his wagon as if dog had been
reaching for his coat-tails. At various
times during the night vehicles were
heard hating and driving suddenly
away, but when day broke the green
ings" were still there, though only two
hoops were left on the barrel.-FTet

The Outfit of a Cheyenne Chief.

A Topeka (Kansas) man named
Schmidt has the full outfit of Cheyenne
chief. The headdress is trimmed in
the most fantastic style, having a small
buffalo horn fastened to the front, while
the trail, which is very long, is covered
with eagle feathers, so graded in size as
to place all the longest ones at the top
and the smaller ones along the trail until
they reach the ground, and every feather
has tip of human hair attached to it.
The shield is of buffalo horn, stretched
on a hoop, and is painted in the gaudy
manner usual with the Indians. The
hoop is fringed all around with the scalps
of Utes, Commanches and five white
women. The culver is very long and is
made of otter skin, and its contents are
finished up in better style than even In
dian arrows are usually; they are I'M
usually long, as is also the bow. There
is also a spear in the outfit which was
in the Custer fight, and which is rusted
with blood. 1t and the shield were the
property of the brave, Wolfbelly, who
sent them to Mr.. Schmidt with the mes
sage that he had killed many white
man from behind the shield, and that the
spear was dipped in the blood of the
white braves who got killed in the Gus
ter fight. The curiosities will be taken
to Europe.

By the pangs Of rheumatism, the joints event

times assume an almost grotesque deiormity.
To prevent such results by a simple and agree
able means is certainly the part Of wisdom. A
tendency TO rheumatic ailments may be sue

impurities which Psychologists assign as the
cause OF rheumatism, and not only purifes the
life current, but enriches it, promoting vigol
by fertilizing its source. Digestion, the action
of the bowels and the secretion OF the bile, are
aided by it, and it impels the kidneys and blad

their functions. 1t is besides a thoroughly

Is the Moon Inhabited!

The question as to whether the moon
is inhabited by organic beings-if not
like those that live on our own globe,
at least of a kind specially adapted by
their structure and nature for existing
under the very different physical condi-
tions that obtain on our satellites one
that has attracted attention for ages, and
one, too, that has been argued pro and
con with great ability by many learned
and eminent men. The opinion of near
ly all scientists of the present day, how
ever, is that the moon is q dead planet; !"
and that, inasmuch as she has but u
slight and very rare atmosphere, and
that, as a consequence. no water exists
on her surface, she is entirely untitled
be the dwelling place of any organic be
ings whatever-at least of any kinds tina
our minds can form any conception of.
On the other hand, those who take the
opposite view argue Ito use the words
OF Dick) that matter appears to have
been created chiefly in subserviency to
mind and it is highly improbable that
the Creator would leave globe con-
tanning a surface of 100000 square
miles altogether destitute of sensitive
and intellectual beings, especially when
we behold its surface diversified and
adorned with such a vast assemblage of
picturesque and sublime scenery, and
when we consider that every department
connected with our globe is peopled with
sentient beings of every description. AL
though seas and rivers and a dense at
mosphere are not to be found connected
with the lunar orb, and although some
of its arrangements are different from
those of the earth, yet these circum-
stances form no valid objection to the
moon being inhabited, for the Creator
can in all cases adapt the inhabitant
to the nature of the habitation pro-
vided for him, as he has adapted the
birds for winging their fight through
the air, the fishes for gliding in the
water, and man and quadrupeds Nor
travelling the dry land"
