An Indian Dance.

Referring to the shooting of cattle by
the Indians at Standing Rock Agency,
Dakota, Harper'S Weekly says: The ami
mails belonging to the government are
corralled and then shot down by a selected
party, after which there is an exciting
rush for the tongues of the slaughtered
beasts, each man being allowed to take
as many as he can cut out and carry
away. This takes place every ten days,
and is regarded rs fine sport. But the
merry making-the "liigh time," as
they call it - comes afterward. The
Indians assemble in i Lighthouse, and
hold Il general iollitication meeting: The
chief feature Of the entertainment is the
dance. Only the younger men take an
active part in this, the older. ones sit
ting in 4 circle about them and enjoying
the fun. The women are not admitted.
The dancers are drcSScd-So far rs they
are dressed ut all-in the most fantastic
manner, and each n carries in his hand
his pipe or %tomahawk. They bob up
and down, leap, and skip, and cut up
all manner of queer antics. At times they
break out into sharp d%iscordant barkings.
which are answered by yelps and grunts
from those who look on. The orchestra
sits in one corner. and furnishes its share
of the noise by humping necessarily on
a big drum. This is the only instrument
used, hut our artist is inclined to think
that no others are necessary. during the
dance the stewed tongue is served out
from buckets, and it may be that some
thing q little stronger also finds It's way
to the mouths Of the mcrry-makers. The
sport, beginning in the afternoon, lasts
all night. .

4 Novel Jail.

In the primitive days of Missouri, the
only buildings ut Mt. Sterling, the county
seat of Gasconade, were a log store and
q log courthouse with one room. Dur
ingcourt week, accommodations for mar
and beast were found ut Aunt Beckie's,
in whose house. of three rooms, a quar-
ter of a mile from the courthouse, sixty
or seventy persons would lodge and
board,
Her bill of fare included coffee sweet
ened with molaSSeS, biscuits made from
coarse, dark -four. and baked until rs
hard as billiard-balls, bacon, venison and
wild turkey. Those whose teeth could
not crack the biscuits were supplied with
"corn-dodgerS."
The penalties imposed for crime were
light. except in the case Of horse-stealing,
which, being the greatest of crimes, was
punished by forty lashes on the bare
back.
On one occasion. n man was convicted
for some slight offence. The judge SEN
fenced him to pay a fine Of five dollars
and Imprisonment in the county jail Tor
two hours.
The man at once paid the fine, but.
as there was no county jail, the sheriff
was at a loss how to execute the rest
Of the sentence. His invention, however,
found out a method. Seeing an old crate,
in which crockery had been brought
from ST. Louis, he placed it in front of
the courthouse. Then making the cul-
prit get under it, he summoned a posse
of four fat men to sit upon it, and in
this style carried out the sentence.
The ~bystanders were much amused,
and so quizzed the poor prisoner. that,
as soon as he was released, he fled from
the county. "

Wrinkles.

Wrinkles are as inevitable as old age.
They cannot be wiped out. Inman they
are often honorable evidence of hard
mental labor; in women they are usual
ly the evidence Of coming age, although
care and suffering have much to do with
them. Sometimes fair foreheads are
prematurely wrinkled from a nervous
habit of raising the eyebrows, and from
a too great and a too constant pressure
Of the pillow on one or both sides of the
head while sleeping. Andjust here comes
a fact worth remembering. If the fore
head has escaped wrinkles, crows feet
are prematurely seen about the eyes. We
all see these crows feet in men and
women whose brows are smooth and
young-looking. They are the results of
sleeping on the right and left sides. The
pressure upon the temple and cheeks
leaves wrinkles at the corners and under
meath the eyes, which disappear in a few
hours, but finally become so fixed that
neither hours nor additions will ahate
them. If girl children were compelled
to sleep on their backs, and continued
the habit when they reached woman
hood and afterward, they would arrive
at middle life without crows feet gath
ering in the neighborhood of the eyes,
and in most cases their foreheads would
be free from even shallow burrows.

Coffee MS an lnyigOratOr.

A correspondent of the London Lancet,
who owns a water-power mill, says: Il
am frequently compelled, during this sea-
son of the year, to have men working in
water, even in frosty weather. find the
following allowance gives great satisfac-
ton to the men, and we never have q
case of cold or injury to them in any way:
Kettle of coffee. made with half sweet
milk, half water, three or four eggs,
whipped, poured into it when off the
boil; hot toasted bread with plenty Of
butter az the finest quality. Serve up
this evef4 two and a half hours. The
expense is much less than the usual
amount Of whisky, and the men work far
better. and if care is taken to har2 the
milk (cream is better), bread and latter
of the finest quality, the men are delight
ed with it. Fam persuaded it wouid'be
worth while to try this allowance instead
of grog. Furnishing the men with groS
gives the men the notion that it is good
for them and p%erpetuates the belief in
stimulants among workmen.

The Zulu King and His People.

Gen. Sir Arthur Thurlow Cunyng-
hame was the British lieutenant-gov-
ernor and commander of the forces in
South Africa from 1874 to 1875. He has
written a book of his experiences in
South Africa. The following paragraphs
give a better idea Of the Zulu king and
his people than most essays on the SUBJ
.ject do:
"Cetywayo had never seen a revolver
pistol. Mr.. Finney, having shown mli
one, fired it at a calabash. The chief
was much surprised at the power of so
small 4 weapon. How destructive it
will be- he said, when it has grown
up and become a mother which must
be understood as meaning Il cannon.
"In Zululand it is considered a great
privilege to be made a soldier. All the
sons of Cetywayo are made soldiers at
the age of six years or Whereabouts, and
all the children who are born in the
same year are also made soldiers at the
same time as the dignity is conferred
upon the prince, of whom they are con-
temporaries.
"Wives are very valuable property,
in Zululand, partly, of course, for the
reason hat the greatest reward of a
soldier IS to receive a present of q wife.
1.-THE lot of a native wife is often a
most unhappy one. Considered as prop
erty, and treated we'll or i'll according
to the caprice of her husband, she not
unfreqnently attempts to escape.
1.-The Zulu laws to prevent these es-
p are most barbarous. If any
woman runs away, either to Natal or
any neighboring tribe, Cetywayo orders
the execution of the men in the kraal,
confiscates the women, and bestows
them rs wives on his soldiers.
"There is no doubt that the Zulus
are the most warlike tribe in South
Africa. Their conquests have been *
tended farther than those of any other;
and but for the arms and ammunition
of the white man, it is by no means
improbable that they would have come
as conquerors wen to the walls of Cape
Town.
"They are reported to be ready to
offer sacrifices when they consider that
their military enterprises will be ben
Gifted by them. In Zululand there is
said to be a locality where Chaka
buried. all the brass ornaments of his
tribe, having ordered his Zulus to wear
none in the future but those made of
iron"

Stephen Gerard's Tactics.

A man who had just set up in the hard.
ware business, and who had been a clerk
where Girard had traded, applied to him
for a share of his patronage. Girard
bought of him, and when he brought in the
bill found fault and marked down the
prices.
"Cask of nails" said he, which l was
offered for so-and-so, you have charged So
and-so, and you must take it off,"
~ cannot do it." said the merchant.
"You must do it," said Girard.
II cannot, and will not" said the young
merchant.
Girard bolted out OF the door, apparently
in a rage, and soon after sent a check for
the whole bill. The young man began to
relent and say to himself: perhaps he
was offered them at that price. But it is
all over now /; I am sorry did not reduce
the bill and get it out Of him on something
else. His trade would have been worth a
good deal to me-" B~y-and-bye Girard came
again, and gave him another job. The
young man was very courteous, and said:
81 was almost sorry 1 didsnot reduce
your former bill"
7Reduce a bill" said Girard; chad you
done it, I would never trade with you
again. I meant to see if YOU had cheated
me-"

From youth to age u swift, briet way;
Yet, il We garner fast and we'll,
The ripening harvest who can tell?
For time runs on; yet every hour
Is rich with some God-givcn power.
III up and down the world we see

The patient hand has but to bind
The bountcous shcaves, each year to find

Though time runs on, the world is sweet.
We may not find the autumn way
Has just the glory OF the Muy,
And silver head and waning sight
May feel " liic's summer was so BRIGHT
And yet II chaStencd beauty glows
Where full rich lives grow near their close
The world is sweet, yet time runs on;
And when our songs, our flowers are gone,

earnestly at me during theinteryiew, and

earnestly at me during the interview, and
something in his gestures seemed not un-
familiar to me, but his flowing beard,
solemn air and Oriental dress SO much
disguised him, that even when I heard
the aforementioned voice could
scarcely realize his identity.
'"But what on earth are you dong
here, Jerry?" said I, "why don't you
20 home to your wife like a Christian"
MY wife! well, that's the whole af-
fair. You see, she's somebody else's
wife. so I'm better out of the way; it
would bea pity that poor Sophie should
commit bigamy."
Il assure you that you are entirely
mistaken. Mrs. Donnelly is not married
again."
7"Hasn't she, though" said he.
"Don't l know better? Didn't l go
back to my bungalow and find out that
she had married that starched fool,
C%ourtnay, when she knew never could
endure him.
To his intense establishment / told him
how the truth was and in turn he re-
lated to me his own adventures. He
had been carried into Tartary, and there
detained for three years, when he was
allowed to accompany a caravan OF body
of pilgrims to Nepaul. Being by that
time a proficient in the language, he
was taken notice of at court. but
very strictly watched. He effected his
escape. however, disguised as a. fakir,
and made his way to Calcutta, but
finding, as he thought, his wife mar
ried again to a nan in his old regl-
ment, he returned, was taken into favor
and had risen to his present distinction.
"Well, l always was a blunderlng
fool, hut I went home with a heart so
ore 20 Sophie and avowing that | would
never veX her any more with my vaga-
ries, that when l heard her called Mrs.
Courtnay I was turned to stone, and
did not care q rap what became of me,
even to be made a viZier, which, I as
sure you, Charlie, is nojoke in its way"
"Well, at all events you must come
home now and enjoy your good fol-
tune"
81 am not sure about that" said he.
"Recollect, she has grown accustomed
to be mistress, and l have grown ac-
customed to be a vizier. She won't
like to be contradicted, and it's n thing
l never could bear, and what l never
allow on any account. Now, if | went
home, she would not be mistress, and
rs sure as fate she would contradict
me. Maybe it is better as it is"
Next morning he sent for me again.
"Ihave been thinking" he said, cot.
all the strange stories you told me. lam
all changed since we parted. l hardly
know myseifto be the same man I used
to be, and am not sure I should treat
Sophie well. But ask her to come out
here and then she can try. If she likes
me in this outlandish place, I will go
home with her; if we quarrel here no one
will be the wiser, and I car continue to
be dead"
but" said +, "have you no incum-
brances? Perhaps she might object to
the details of your establishment"
"Not a bit, "said Jerry, II have none
of your Eastern p%rejudices; let her come
and she will find nobody to disturb her,"
So she did come, and after living in
Nepaul for two years, brought Jerry
back in triumph to Branley Hall; and
such is the true version Of a tale which
made some noise in the newspapers a few
years {.

Cutting Off the Quarrel.

Of the late Louis A. Cooley, who was a
ready-witted man, Colonel Forney re-
lates the following:
On one occasion, Mt an evening enter
disputants - were eq' facin" each other n,
most ready to resort to blows, when
Cooley picked up a huge carving-knife
nom the slipper table and handed it to
the most violent of the two. The latter
unconsciously received it, 1T. the same
time demanding OF Cooley, What do
you mean by this, sir?"
Il mean" said the jolly editor of the
Lady's Book-''I mean that you ahould
cut off the quarrel right here"
The general expression of merriment
made the controversy SO ridiculous that
it was stopped at once, the excited adj
versariesthemselves Joining in the laugh,
as they shook hands and begged pardon
ofthe host.-Harpe,'s Drawer."
