On the evening the train bearing the
Sioux delegation reached Washington, Mrs
Kelly, who was standing with the crowd in
the depot, stepped forward and addressed
one of the principal members in their ma
tive tongue.
They recognized and instantly gathered
about her, as happy as school-children over
the discovery of some lost and loved school
mate.
1t was singular sight, and created a
great deal of interest among the spectators
1t was evident to all that the savages held
her in the highest esteem.
One of them, some time after begged
Mrs. Kelly to accompany him to the theatre
and when she kindly declined, the old war
rior wept
The delegation insisted that she ought to
return with them, pledging to give her
horses and lands, and to bestow upon her
the great honor of making her Queen of the
Sioux
As for Jumping Bear, it is presumable
that he died of a broken heart long ago.

DESTRUCTION TO MATCHES.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Daily Neus writes: have just been shown
a similar apparatus which will probably
sweep away ere long the match trade. 1t
is called the electrical tinder-box, and it
is small enough to be carried in a cigar
case. On opening this box, you see a
platinum wire stretched across. Touching
a spring, the wire reddens sufficiently to
light cigar. At will you can introduce
into tiny sconce a mesh of cotton stepped
in spirits Of wine or petroleum, which, tax
ing fire, does service as a veilleuse, or
nurses lamp. The hidden agency which
heats the wire is very small electrical
battery, set in action by the touching Of
the Spring. The trade price of the 'elec-
trical tinder-box" will be half franc, or
fvepence. Its inventor promises that it
will be an economical substitute for the
lucifer match. This apparatus may, per-
haps, derange the budget, which depends
for heavy sum upon the match tax and
monopoly.

LIvINGsTONE's LAST JOURNAL.

The world owes debt of gratitude it can
never pay to the faithful servants who,
through dangers and against obstacles
which the imagination can but family pic
ture, bore the dead body of their friend and
master, with all the precious records Of his
wanderings and discoveries, from the little
village where he breathed his last to the
ea-coast Of Zanzibar. But for their affec-
tionate devotion these records.Fould have
been lost; and, with the exception of what
was contained in the diary entrusted to the
care of Mr.. Stanley, all knowledge of the
important discoveries made by the great
traveller during the last seven years of his
life would have perished. Thanks to the
fidelity of these poor Ignorant men, in the
narrative now given to the world, covering
seven years of continuous travel and dis
covery, not a break occurs. owe have
not" says the editor of this deeply inter-
esting work, ''to deplore the loss, by acci-
dent or carelessness, Of single entry from
the time Of Livingstone's departure from
Zanzibar, in the beginning of 1866, to the
day when his notebook dropped from his
hand in the village of Ilala, at the end of
April, 1873" The preservation of these
documents appears almost miraculous when
we consider the nature of the perils through
which they were borne to place of safety.
The little band of faithful servants had to
make their way with their precious burden
hundreds of miles through a wild and ter
rible country, through lands where the de-
based and superstihous tribes would have
torn them to pieces had it became known
that they were carrying a dead man, over
the river swollen into raging torrents,
across mountains, and through dense for
ests, where dangers lurked in every thick
ct. Yet, although at every step beset with
perils, suffering oftentimes from hunger
and thirst, and sometimes almost dead from
fever, the dreaded scourge of equatorial
Africa, they remained faithful to their sa-
cred trust, and gave an example Of fidelity
and heroism that should never be forgot

Under the Naples.

Under the naples, the frost-kissed naples,
We stood together, love, you and i,
While the golden glow OF the autumn sunset
Flushed warm and bright in the western sky.
Srimson the quivering leaves above US,
While the night wind whispered story old;
And the Day Gods splendor was dying, dying,
Softly from valley, and hill, and void.
Under the naples, the frost-kissed NAPLES,
saw the sheen of your golden hair,
Your proud, sweet lips, and your shy dark eyes
love,
And the sunlit smile that you used TO wear;
While the west wind whispered, whispered, whis-
pered,
Low, TO the leaves, all red and brown,
And here aud there through the slvered forest
A tired leanet nuttered down.
Under the naples, the frost-&lssed naples,
told You tender tale that day,
While all the crimson clouds of sunset
Were fading into the twilight gray
Tol,l you that story SO true, so tender,
While coo. and sweet came the autumn breeze,
I won YOU my darling, my own forever,

Omnine in Whooping. Cough.

Cuinineis again strongly recommended
as certain and speedy cure for whoop-
ing-eough. DR.. II. A Mott, who has
been experimenting with his own chill
dren as we'll as many others, states, In q
paper recently read before the New York
Academy of Sciences, that the best TINA
to administer it is just after coughing
spell and just before retiring at night.
AS regards the size of the dose, this
should depend on the age and severity
of the case. From three to five grains
of powdered quinine can be put on the
tongue of grown person and allowed to
dissolve For child from three to five
grains may be dissolved in two ounces
of sugar and water, and one teaspoonfuI
can be given as stated above. The sugar
and water help to keep it longer in con-
tact with the parts. Quinine admins
tered in gelatine or sugar-coated pills Is
of no use whatever.

Warts.

AS much as warts and corns may be
thought to resemble each other, they
are quite different in origin, character
and means of cure. A corn is simply q
thickening and hardening of the scarf
skin, or epidermis. 1t Is always caused
by pressure, and is removed only by the
removal of the pressure. And we may
here state that, so absolutely are they
thus removed, protracted period OF
sickness will gradually Lift them wholly
out of the flesh.
A wart, on the contrary, belongs to
the skin, proper-the vera cssttS-and
consists of an abnormal growth of ons
or more papill@, in which the nerves OK
blood vessels terminate. For this rea-
son, while the substance of corn is as
insensible as that of the fnger-nail, the
substance of wart is peculiarly sensi-
tive beneath the scarf-skin which covers
the head of the papill@, and which these
carry with them as they push upward.
In most cases, as the equalized action
of the parts is restored they go off OF
themselves. They can be speedily re-
moved, however, by touching them re-
peatedly with nitrate of silver, or by ap-
plying nitric acid to their extremities.
Care should be taken not to touch the
adjacent skin.
Many superstitious notions prevail re-
specting the cure of warts, among the
people. They have been handed down
from the remotest times, when supersti-
tion had more to do with medical meth
ods generally than true science.
In the aged, when the cuticle is hard,
the epithetical cells, instead of develop
ing upward, develop downward into the
tissues, and give rise 10 painful tumors,
which the physician alone can eradicate.
Sometimes "moles tend to enlarge
and become painful. A little nitric acid
applied to them few times viii arrest
the tendency.-Youtk's Companion.

THE LUMBER TRADE.

The Albany argus, in an article on
lumber, says; About six thousand mil
lion feet of soft wood lumber were cut
in the United States and Canada in 1874.
Recent estimates put the entire manufac-
ture of lumber and timber on this CONT
nent at about twelve thousand million feet
per year, and if this estimate be correct,
the pine districts furnish nearly half of
the whole product. The vast pine lumber
supply moves from its sources to it's mar
kets in certain well-defned lines or courses.
and the main currents of supply do not
differ greatly in magnitude. A thousand
million is the estimated measure of this
supply for the season Of 1874. In North
ern New York, the Glens Falls district
mills are being fully stocked. In the East
ern, or Saginaw River district of Michigan,
the logs which will come to the mills in
1875 must be less in amount than the total
of old and new logs that came out in 1874.
In Western Michigan the product of last
year will be exceeded this year, if such a
thing is to be accomplished by virtue of the
most strenuous and persistent efforts. In
the Wisconsin districts, it is claimed, and
apparently with reason, that the unfavora-
BILE Winter viii inevitably diminish the
supply, irrespective of the pains of the
lumbermen. In the extreme Western dis
tricts the unprecedented depression of the
trade, last year, has proved an effectual
encouragement of operations the present
Winter.

THE PROPOSED NIAGARA RIVER
TUNNEL.

A gentleman from Washington Pa, MIR.
Joseph Patterson, who is a Scotch miner,
and who is said to have profound know
ledge of tunnel work, gained by thirty-fve
years. experience in this and other coun-
tries, has been making careful examina-
tion of Mr.. Wallace's plan and profile of
the projected tunnel under the Niagara
River at this point. He fully affirms its
practicability, and that it will cost no more
than any other tunnel in the United States
of the same nature Mr.. Patterson advises
the putting down of a shaft on each side of
the river, and then driving drift through
under the river, seven feet by seven in the
clear. This mode he recommends as the
best under water; first for quickness, since
any number Of masons can work in widen
ing out; and second for good ventilation
in the building of masonry. Mr.. Patterson
states that he will hold himself in readi-
ness to enter into contract for the above
named shafts and drifts at any time with
in three months, at price and under con-
ditions given to Mr.. Wallace, engineer.
We learn from Mr.. Wallace that the price
at which Mr.. Patterson offers to contract
for constructing the proposed shafts and
drift is sls per ineal foot, he to be respon-
sible for all pumping. The cost at this
rate would be $52,92o. The cost of subse-
quently enlarging the drift to the neoes-
sary dimension OF 9 railway tunnel can
easily be calculated by any engineer or
contractor, with great accuracy and GER
tainty.
