Men useful to and valued by the com.

Yet these meeting, aid, for the moment

Why? Because they wore pistols. Had
they not worn them the worst that could
have happened would have been an or.
dinary quarrel aud an ordinary parting
by friends, followed possibly by q duel
more or less harmless.
What is the moral?
tits the cruel, tho horrible, tho wick

Cowardly, moreover, it is. Cowardly,
because 1t may take ut any time an un.
armed man unawares. Cowardly, be-
cause it argues that he who bears the
arms is afraid to protect himself without
them,
Cowardly, because he knows his own

Is not in the same condition.
II is brutal, because 1t gives flow to
the angrieat passion and allows no time

Wicked, because 1t contemplates mur.

they remembered only tho custom Of an.
ceslors and forgot that in the past gener-
ations the pistol sometimes and the sword
always were displayed, and remembered
only that the weapons were displayed,
leaving oil men OF level, and that The
law was weak and life worth little.
at this day the man who carries habit
ually concealed weapons must be either
a coward or fool; and this is true par
ticularly OF this present people of the
South, who have so often proved their
manhood and bold hearts.
So utterly 10 this the fact that VIC be.
lieve (and in common with our people,
we have seen gunpowder burn and balls
fly from larger things than pistols,) that
every jury trying cases Of homicide
should find the killer guilty Of murder in
the first degree when It is proved that he
habitually carries hidden weapons.
If he did not mean murder he would
not carry them-unless indeed he was
miserable coward.
If you need arms, carry double.bar-
barrel gun on your shoulder anu let
everybody SEQ it.-Richnond State.

Cur MAIL MArrER.--On August is,
1879, the Postmaster General issued an
order directing an actual count to be
made on the first seven days of Noyem.
Der, 1879, and annually thereafter, Of the
number of letters aud postal cards and
of packages of miscellaneous printed
matter aud merchandise deposited for
mailing in all the postoifices and postal
cars, the number of newspapers and ne.
riodicals mailed during chat timo to sub.
scribers and news agents to be obtained
s-.m the publ3hers. The consolidation
of the entire returns of this count from
oil postoilices in the United States and
from the railway mail service has just
been completed OF the postoflice depart
ment. Tho first week in November was
chosen for the count because it was
thought that tho business os that week
would DO as near as possible a fair ave.,

The Force OF an Indian Arrow.

The Indian bows are made of ex-
tremely rigid wood, bat the power to
bend them effectuaily comes more
from practice, than mere physical
strength. General Brisbin says 70
have seen slight and small white
man bend with ease the strongest bow
when he bad once acquired the art. A
white man, too, can send an arrow as
far and as deep as an Indian IIopce
had an officer named Belden with me,
who had lived twelve years with the
Indians, and he could shoot an arrow
into a buffalo while running SO that
the point would como out on the op-
posite side. He would also plunge an
arrow into a beast so that it disap-
peared, and not even the notch re-
mained visible. The power of an In
dian bow can be better understood
when it is known that the most power
full revolver will not send a ball
through a buffalo. Belden said he
had seen bow throw an arrow five
hundred yards, and /, myself, have
seen one discharged entirely through
board an inch thick. A mans skull
was found in the West transfixed to q
tree by an arrow, which had gone en-
tirely through the bones, and fastened
itself SO deep in the wood as to sus-
tain the weight of the head. The
man most likely had been tied to the
tree and then shot. Ho5, sd s4iaiW

ONE OF THE SUMMER ATTRACTIONS
OF A NORTHERN NEW JERSEY
COUNTY, EN IL 4
Middietdsn IN. &, ArsuslF & T9n
Arenharkable ice gorge near Mid
dletown, Sussex county, in the rear
of the Bluemountain, is attracting
attention, and is much visited by the
lovers of curious sights. The ice
gorge is several hundred yards in ex-
tent, 10 to 30 feet deep, with caves
and clefts in the rocks where the ice
lies. 1t is located a very short dis
tance from the mountain. The shade
at the gorge is very dense 1.-THE sun
apparently never penetrating it.
The bottom of the gorge is filled
with ice, and the little caves and
crevices are filled with it. 1t is a
natural ice house; hundreds of tons
might be taken out without appre-
ciably decreasing theiwhole. Much
of it no doubt has lain there for
years, the mass gradually melting
and being added to each year. The
thermometer, which registered in
the COS in Newton, marked SO de-
grees at the bottom of this gorge,
too cold for one to remain there any
length of time. A few feet from
one end of the gorge spring of the
most delicious, sparkling water bub-
bles up. The water in this spring
stands at "a degrees-about as cold
as one could comfortably drink it.

TASTED FOR THIRTY-N
DAYS. s.

An old lady in Pittsburg says thai
she knew of case of fasting in Paris
Washington county, in 1840, which
fully equalled the task which DIR. Tan
ner has laid out for himself. tt was
that of q young man named Thomas
Tiord, aged about % years, who had
lived without either water or food fol
thiity-nine days. He was taken sick
and was unable to swallow anything
All the physicians in the county were
called in but nothing could relieve
him, and, for thirty-nine days he suE
cred all the pangs of hunger and thirst,
On the thirty-ninth day he died, and a
post-mortem revealed the fact that the
entrance, to his stomach was complete
~ filed up with a fungus growth. l'i

Completing the Big Bridge.
ACTIVE WORK BEGUN ON THE CIT,
.s HALL APPROACH END. n

49, HALL APPROACH END. I"
The New York approach to the
bridge is now compile Q, practically, up
to William street, gangs of men being
engaged on the arches which are to
span the triangle formed by the juno
tion of William and North William
street. When these have been COM
pleted the only remaining arches will
be those between William street and
Printing House square for which ex-
cavations are being made. The Net6s
building, which adjoins the StGdts-
letting, will have to give way in the
interest of the BRIDGE, but as the
ground it occupies will be needed fol
a side street only its destruction has
been deferred until next May. The
approach to the bridge at Printing
House square will be about sixty-foui
feet above high water mark, and the
distance from the East River will be
1, 562 feet. This will give the roadway
an inclination of 81 feet in every loo
feet to the center of the bridge, which
will be 1856 feet above the water, and
a similar decline on the other side to
Sand street, the end Of the Brooklyn
| approach. The total length of the
bridge, together with the approaches,
l will be 5,9S6 feet, or something over Q
| mile. ...i
| Owing to the limited space now re-
manning for excavation the working
force has been largely reduced of late,
SO that at present there are only about
300 men employed on the. New. York
side. The brick work in the arches
near the end of the approach is to be
"picked out" or pointed, and the MAJ
son work is to be at the same time
more solid and more ornate than at the
oiher end. Men are already at work
at the roadway, and within afew days
the view across the river will be en-
| tirely unobstructed. IN. Y. Star. y.

ARE FLOWERS UNHEALTHY.

Tie question so often raised as to
whether IL is healthy to keep splsnts IN
our liviDg-fooms and sleeping-rooms Is
answered by DIR. j. M. Anders in re-
cent number Of the Philadelphia Medi-
cal, Times. Experiments made by him
show the value of plants as.natural 'aif,i
perfect aiatomizefs s'~S The average rate
Of Transportation for plants having thin,
soft leaves-like geraniums and lantanas
lis found to be an ounce and a-half of
wauery vapor per squ-ae foot of leaf sur
face for twelve diurnal hours of clear
weather., AT. this rate great tree like
the Washington elm at GambridRe,whicl
has been estimatedto have 200, ,000s square
feet of surface, would exhale seven and
three quarter tons of water in twelve
hours. The rate of Transportation for a
house plant Is at least so per cent. more
rapid than for one in the open air, and
ii Is evident that number OF such plants
must have a material influence on the
humidity of the air in which they are
Kept. Experiments made by means Of
the hygrometer snow conclusively tfat
house plants may properly be classed as
therapeutic agents. AS to their un-
wbolesomeness because of giving off car
bonic acid gas at night, it has been
shown by experiments that 1t would re-
quire twenty thrifty plants to produce
an amount of gas equivalent to that ex-
hailed by one baby sleeper. A practical
application of the data gained by exper-
inent is given in the carefully prepared
formula. Given a room twenty feet
long, twelve feet wide and ceiling twelve
feet high, warmed by dry air, dozen
thrifty plants, with soft, thin leaves and
a leaf surface of six feet square each,
would, 1t we'll watered and SO situated
as to receive the direct rays of the sun
(preferably the morning sun) for at least
several hours, raise the proportion of
aqueous vapor to about the health stand
ard. 1t is evident, then, that every
house mother can keep the air of winter
rooms moist by having thrifty plants in
them, and there is every reason to be-
lieye that the lives of many persons who
die from pulmonary complaints might
be preserved by this agency at once so
agreeable and so salutary. In many in
stances consumptive tendencies have ap-
parently beer counteracted by working
among plants.
