KING ALCOHOL.


BY DIR. SEYMOUR BULLOCK, JR.
A thousand years have pass'd away
Since Alchemy gave birth
Unto a king whose cruel sway
Has been the curse Of earth.
With noisy tread throughout the laHd
He seatters woe and wrath,
And plants with an untinng hand
A thorn in every path.
Far in the East and from the North,
From every hill and plane
An eager throng is hast'ning forth
To worship in his rain;
Far where the Gangcs' waters frown
And by the Hudson's flow,
oh, what an army's marching down
Into gulf of woe.
Upon the wings Of every blast
Is borne a sob of pain,
And every stream that hurries past
Runs redden'd with his slain;
A scream-a plunge struggle wild
A ripple ON the shore,
As though some hidden demon smipd
To see them rise no more.
The cruel blade with fatal thrust
Fresh crimsons every sod,
And souls in shame bent to the dust
Are crying unto God;
Each boggy mire and oozlng brine,
Each fen aud deep morass
Within their clammy folds entwine
The victims Of the glass.
Through every zone with noisy tread
This monster wheels his car
And leaves juggernaut of dead
And every breast u scarf
Amid llaska's constant SHOWS,
In isles of living spring,
Each worshipper in sorrow knows
His arrows venom sting.
Oh, when shall mankind show its pow
To crush with truth at will
This giant tiend that rules the hour
This monster of the still I
Until that day thunder peal
OF crime shall shake the land,
Aud every bosom feel the steel
OF Gods avengng hand.

Two husbands In st. Louis have imi-
tated DR.. Tanner with varying success.
Tho frat, o Justice OF the Peace, told
his good wife he had resolved to eat
nothing for forty days. Instead OF
placing upon the dinner table that day
the usual diet Of corned beef and cab
bage, she set out Q meal composed OF all
manner OF good things. It 10 needless
to state that her husband. upon cycling
the dainties, concluded that II would DO
idiocy to follow Tanners course, and
straightway he set to work dsvouring
the good things. The other. o clerk,
read several columns Of newspaper arti.
cles on Tanner, and then informed his
wife that be had o good mind TO try the
fasting game. The lady being Of . very
practical turn OF mind told him to 60 on
and try. She thought the plan an excel
lent one. II he could only manage to
exist without eating she ut least would
be happy. The husband said be would
begin fasting then and there. The wife
interposed no objection Whatever. As
the dinner hour drew near, instead Of
getting the meal ready as usual. abe
locked oil the cupboards In the house
and went away. telling her husband that
she was going out to dine with . friend.
and advising him to stay at home and
take care OF the house until abe re-
turned. The poor man sat down and
began his fasting. Dinner time came
and went and be grew very hungry. He
tried the cupbosrds, but found them
locked. He was thinking about looking
up the house and going down in quest
OF o meal when an Italian passed the
door peddling bananas. The fruit tidsd
him over until his wifs's return.

The Pluto Exlies.
SLIDER State, July az.

A week or two ago We copied an item
from the Yakima Record which stated.
upon the authority Of Sarah Winnsmuc-
Ca, that the Piutss which were sent TO
Yakima after the close OF the Bannook
wal were returning to the Malheur Res.
eryation or to Fort MoDermit. The
same paper also stated that very many
OF the exilsd Indians had died. Now
comes the Dalles Times. which says 1t
has been informed by Father Wilbur.
agent at the Simooe Reservation, that
the report that these Indians are going
back to Malheur il incorrect. The agent
says:
''The fact is, when Sarah Winnemucca
was in Washington City. she received
permission from the Secretary Of the
Interior. to take all those Indians back
to their reservation who were willing to
20, at their own expense; but the agent
at Simcoe thinks II IL unsafe to send
them back without an escort. Besides.
their reservation 10 now occupied by
stock men for o range, and It would only
make fresh trouble. When the Piutes

Wilbur they numbered 643. That was
on the 10th OF February. 1879. and there
are now more than 500 Of them still liv-
ing, and q great many births have taken
place, so that they number as many a.
when they were brought on the Simooe
reservation. The agent has been using
his utmost endeavors to get these lndi.
ans under the same discipline a. those
on the Simcos reservation. During the
last year they have grubbed out 200
acres OF land, and have raised 826 bush.
els OF wheat. besides corn and potatoes.
They IRE able now to raise half their
support, and only receive half rations.
When they frst came they were inclined
to be lazy; but the agent gave them to
understand that II they didn't work they
couldn't draw ~rations. This soon brought
them to q full realization Of the situa-
ton. and they have been learning habits
OF industry ever since.

Probably a Rich Ledge.

Messrs. Ladd. Harvey and Emmons
have discovered . large ledge on the
mountain, above the Eagle mine. In

tains very rich gold-bsaring quartz. It

located by the above.named persons.
Specimens OF the ore assays from $500
to $4,000 In gold 10 the ton. In early
days . large quarts bowldsr. which was
studded with gold. was found near where
the ledge has been discovered. The
bowldsr created considerable excitement
among prospsotors, who spent weeks
looking for the ledge from which II was
supposed To have broken Of, but their
lsbors wsrs In vain. The impression
now prevails that the Nugget IL the
ledge OF which they were In search, and
thar Il will prove. TO b very valuable
mine. Spring Canyon, near the head
Of which Il ID situated, has produced
hundreds OF thousands Of dollars In gold
dust, and has bson worked extensively
BY whites and Chinese, when water

supposed that the gold found In these
plaoers came from the Eagle or Vande-

the spinal column there is q layer Of
cartilage. varying from ons-eishth to
one.quartsr Of an inch in thickness.
These cartilases or tissues, they said,
arc always the FIRST to suffer when a

The Dismal Swamp.

A Virginia paper tells some things
which are not generally known about
the Dismal Swamp. 1t Is not q vast bog
sunk low In the ground. into which the
drainage Of the surrounding country
flows. On the contrary. II 10 above the
level ground some fifteen or twenty feet,
as was demonstrated by actual surveys.
Instead Of being q receptacle into which
rivers and streams enter and dow, 1t Is
in reality an immense reservoir that, In
its vast sponge-like bulk, gathers the
waters that fall from the heaven. n
pours them into the Ave different rivers
which flow onward to the sea.
Any n would imagine that the
Dismal Swamp was Q veritable char
nel-houss that spreads its miasmas
throughout the country. On the con-
trary, II IL the hsalthisst place on the
American continent. The swamp IL On.
tirely OF green timber. There Il sbso-
lutsly no dseonposed wood; n sees
trees lying around the forests and
swamps. The two principal woods that
grow in the place are the juniper and
cypress, which never rot. They fall
prone on the ground like other trees,
but instead OF the wood accompanying.
Il turns into peat and lies indissoluole
by air or water for ages perfectly sound.
There 10 nothing In the swamp to create
miasma; no rising OF the tides and de-
composition Of rank vegetables; no
marshes exposed to the burning rays OF
the sun. All IL fresh and sweet, and the
air is laden with a. sweet odors a. the
fragrant woods in May. when the fra.
GRANGE Of the flowers mingles with the
pungent scent Of the pine and dogwood.
In the ante.bellum days all planters were
anxious to hire their slaves to shingle-
makers In the swamp on account OF its
hsal,hfulness. Mr.. Reddiok. . well.
known contractor, says he worked 0
gang OF fifty hands for fifteen years In
the Dismal. getting shingles, and In all
