Tanning a Lamb Skin with the
Wool ON It.

Make a strong soapsuds, using hot
water: when it is cold wash the skin in
it, carefully squeezing it between the
hands to get the dirt out of the wool;
then wash the soap out with clean, cold
water; next dissolve alum and salt, of
each half pound, in a little hot water,
which put in tub of cold water suffi-
Gent to cover the skin, and let it soak
in it over night or twelve hours; now
hang the skin over pole to drain; when
we'll drained spread or stretch carefully
on board to dry. 1t need not be tackled
if drawn out several times with the
hand while drying. When little damp,
sprinkle pulverized saltpetre and alum,
an ounce each mixed together, on the
flesh side, rubbing it in well. 1t is now
to hang in the shade two Or three days,
the flesh side in, until perfectly dry, and
when entirely dry, scrape the flesh side
with blunt knife to remove any scraps
of flesh. Trim off all projecting points,
and rub the flesh side with pumice or
rotten stone, and with the hands. Pre-
pared in this way, it is white and beau
tiful, suitable for door mat, and also
nice for the feet in sleigh or wagon In
cold weather.

The Dark Day.

An old lady now living on the Little
Colorado, who has attained the COM
Portable old age of l2s years, was 80
years of age at the time Of the dark
day, of which she has a vivid recollec-
ton, and recalls many interesting Incl
dents that took place with her people,
the Spanish, and also the indians, who
were more superstitious. The Spaniards
buried all their saints, of which they
had goodly number, while the Indians
took to feasting upon dogs and other an.
imals. The "dark day" was SO called
on account of the remarkable darkness
that extended throughout America. The
observation commenced about 10 o'clock
on the morning of May 10Th, 1880, and
continued till the middle of the next
night. Birds sang their evening song,
disappeared and remained silent; fowls
went to roost, cattle sought the barn
ward and candles were lighted in the
houses. The true cause OF this remark
able phenomenon is not, and will proba-
bly never be NOMINATIONS Miner.

The speaker announced the regular order
to be the consideration OF bill reported
last night from the committee on ways and
means to facilitate the refunding of the ma
tional debt, and pending the question, Miles
asked Wood to yield for an amendment,
subjecting all bonds hereafter issued to tax
alton. Wood declined to yield for the pur-
pose, and the bill passed without division.
The House went into committee of the
whole on the bill for the improvement of the
Mississippi levees.
The House then went into committee of

ment commission, and providing for the i'm
provement of that river and the protection
of its alluvial lands. An appropriation Of
$3.50, 900 is made for the payment of salar-
les, and the committee which reported the
bill has en- amendment added, section ap-
propriating 1851, 900 for strengthening the
the Mississippi levees.
Gibson gave notice he would, if he had an
opportunity, offer as substitute an amend
ment appropriating $2,500,00O for the inn
provement of the Mississippi river from the
head passes of that river to the mouth of the
Illinois river.
Robertson, of Illinois, spoke in favor of
the bill. The origin of the late scourge
which had traversed the South might be
traced to the overflow of the Mississippi, fol-
lowed by hot Summer.
Ellis submitted as an amendment SUBJ
stitute, appropriating $4,S50, 900 for the
pursose of repairing the levees of the Miss
issippi and improving the navigation of that
river, such money to be expended upon the
direction of the chief engineer of the army.
The previous question was then seconded,
and the votes will be taken on Thursday.

Physical Effects of Mental Emo
ton,

George Grokatchi, Polish soldier,
deserted from his regiment in the har
vest of the year 1877. He was discov-
cred few days after drinking and max
ing merry in an ale house. The mo-
ment he was applehended he was so
much terrified that he gave loud
shrek, and was Immediately deprived Of
the power of speech. When brought to
court-martial, it was impossible to
make him articulate a word nay, he
became as unmovable as a statue, and
appeared totally unconscious Of what
was going forward. In the prison to
which he was conducted he neither ate
or drank. The officers and priests first
threatened him, and afterwards endeav.
ored to soothe and console him, but all
their efforts were in vain. He re-
NAMED senseless AMI immovable His
irons were struck off, and he was taken
out of prison, but he did not move.
Twenty days and nights were passed in
this way, and he gradually sank and
died

Mary's Little Lamb.

The veritable Mary (who) had lit
tie lamb whose fleece was while as snow,"
visited the Ola South Spinning Bee yes
terday afternoon, and told the ladies pres
ent the story of the little lamb. When
she was nine years old and living on
farm, one morning she went out into the
barn and found two little lambs. one Of
them nearly dead. So she took it into
the house and sat up all night nursing it
with catnip tea. The next morning it
could stand upon its feet, and grew
stronger every day. Owing to her loving
care the lamb became so attached TO
Mary that il, followed her about and one
day to school, where she hid il under her
desk, so that none of the children knew
it was in the school until Mary was called
up to recite Then the lamb came out
Of its hiding place, and made the children
laugh and shout so that the teacher was
obliged to turn it out. The poem was
written by a friend of Mays soon after
the lambs visit to the school room Mary
was married many years since. and lives
near Boston.-Boslon Transcript.

Curious Ideas of Children.

During one of the severe thunder storms
recently, little Nav, ligh, haired girl
about four years old, came running TO her
mamma and said: Mamma, does God
keep gum" Her mother, somewhat
surprised at the curious question, an
swered, "Why do YOU ask that, May"
because, if he doesn't keep gun, what
does he break the sky with when it thun-
ders!'
This reminds US OF another true story.

Coddington, noted New York auction

George Eliot Mrs. Lewes) the great
est living novelist, the thoughtful peru
sal of one of whose works is a liberal
education, has never had photograph
taken, SO that the great majority of her
admirers are compelled to view her only
through pen-and-ink sketches. She is a
woman who must have passed her fif-
tieth year. Her hair is dark brown and
has none of those silver threads one
might expect where the burden of half
century is added to incessant labor,
and experiences full of desolation. She
is not at all handsome; her face is long
and very pale, with a small, sensitive
mouth; eyes dreamy, interpretive, and
sad always. Her hair is worn low over
her intellectual forehead, and her slen-
der figure has no robust energy about it.
George Eliot's is the energy Of mind,
not of physical power. She is one of
the greatest living conversationalists.
She is one of the most accomplished
amateur pianists in England, and first
rate linguist, and seems to know as
much about the healing art, history and
philosophy. What the witty Mrs.
French said of Madame de Stael-that
she is consolingly ugly-applies to George
Eliot; bnt her plain features are made
beautiful by her expression. She com
poses slowly and methodically, not more
than sixty lines a day; and report says
that when she has completed book her
nervous exhaustion is such that her hus-
band takes her abroad at once TO recruit
her failing health. While writing, she
must be scrupulously arranged as to sur
roundings and person. She is not only
a wonderful author, but clever house
wife, too; and her home life is perfect in
all its details.
