AMERICA has just lost one Of its few
kings. The royal personage who died On sat
ur,lsy was known as Stephen Pharaoh, and he
reirned over the MoniaGk Indians, who oc-
cupv the eastern extremity Of Long Island.
The Montauks used 20 be one OF the most pow
erf1I tribes in New fOTE, but that was many
generations ago, and they have faded away 50
rapidly during the present century that the
late rn0narch's subjects were all comprised
among the members Of two families. stephen
Pharaoh was the last Of the race with pure
Indian blood in his veins and the Montauss
will soon be known only IN history Indeed,
il would not require avery sangulnafy strug9ie
over the succession to wipe Out at once the iast
remanants Of the tribe.

OLIVER DALRYMPLE, the wheat king
lives at Fargo, Dakota. He may be seen any
where and everywhere N his mammoth es-
tates throughout the day. Afoot, Oh horse

and every detail Of the great business appears

looking gentleman Of obout A. years Of age,
and though he would not be picked out in an
assemblage rs a great man, any one who visits
the DalrympIe farms, in the Red River Valley,
and sees the monarch Of the American wheat
fields at homo, cannot but come away enthu-
siastic in praise Of an executive ability which
NAV we'll be compared to that Of the manager
Of great military campaign.

+ EDISON still continues to astonish
the scientific world with his discoveries. His
eleciro-chemical telephone, exhibited before
the Science Association lately, IL immensely
in advance Of the instrument, wholly me-
chanical, which for year has been repeating
all it heard in a way that terrified owners OF
guilty c0nsciences. The new instrument makes
it, utteraace distinctly heard throughout
large rOOD, and the inventor cuiarges upon it,
positive value to distant singers, lecturers, &c.
But think Of its yalHe 10 the manager of n
political campaign he can reach every
primary or other meeting that may be held on
a single night and, better yet, the instrument
can tell two entirely different stories at the
same time. Nothing since the tissue paper
ballot has promised such a radical change in
political methods.

AUGUSTUS FUNK, living on the
Hoover Farm, Sandy Creek township, was bit
ten last Friday afternoon by coppcrhca1
snake on tbe fore finger of The right hand.
The only remedy ~ hand was whisky, and
this was copionsiy administered. cord WAS
tied tightly around the wrist, and n physician
was called in. To save the patient from the
effect Of the snake bite was an easy matter, but
to save him from the whisky, 20 injudiciously
forced into him, was . more difficulty operation.
IL il "A common impression that the copperhead
is more veDDmous than the raitlcsnake, but
the reverse u that IL true. whisky, though
remedy in all cases Of snake bite, should not
be given too freely. Many have been killed
by the "rcmcdy" who would have recovered
from the poisOn inflicted by the snake. Al
cohol, in any Of i;s shapes, should be given
| judiciously. II il a popular error 70 suppDse
that no amount Of this remedy will injure a
| person suffering from snake poison. II IL an
| error that often leads ~ the death Of the pa
tient. Alcohol, 10 all such cases, should be
| given with care and Away. IL possible, under
