of milk with stick of cinnamon in it,
drain the isinglass out of the water and

"A Nebraska correspondent of the
Western RstrGJ has become convinced
by observation and experience that corn
need not necessarily contain smut in
order to be injurious to cattle; old, in
digestible stalks cause impaction OF the
stomach, and if given without green
food, like fall rye, he says, or roots, say
we, losses may be looked for.
Warm Slaw.-Slice head of cab
bage fine; put it in stew-pan, with a
little water, and scald well; sprinkle
salt, pepper and sugar over it; then
take twO.thirds of teacup of vinegar,
one-third of teacup of water, one egg,
One-half teaspoon of flour, well mixed
together; pour it over the cabbage, and
let it come to a boil, when it is ready
for the table. '' a

Sudden Deaths... Heart disease.

The cases of heart disease are far less
common than is generally supposed
the heart being one of the toughest or
gans in the body, Still there are many
cases, and they are Of different kinds,
There may be a paralysis Of the nerves
of the heart. When this occurs, death
is instantaneous. AnginG pectogjs not
unfrequently terminates in this way,
for excruciating pains exhaust nervous
force as greatly as does excessive pleas
ure. ........,-........
There may be what is called a fatty
degeneracy of the heart, in which fat
takes the place of the fibrous tissue, and
sooner or later gives way under some
slight excitement.
Sometimes the walls of the heart be-
come quite thin at some point, and this
in connection with the general enlarge
ment of the organ, rendersit subject to
more violent action, and it may sud-
denly burst on the quickening Of that
action. Such engagements are often
produced by violent and protracted ex-
ertiOns, as in boat-raClng. v
Or there may be dilatation of por-
ton of an artery leading out from the
heart; such dilatations are called Gneqt-
y'iSnaS, and are attended with loss of the
elasticity of the heart and thinning of
the walls Of the vessel. Hence, it may
rupture, or, which is equally
fatal, the walls may dilate so far as to
prevent the outflow of the blood to the
brain.
Every one even in health knows how
luiCk and strong any emotion what
aver acts upon the heart-knows from
MS own experience. In all diseases of
he heart absolute self-control, at all
lines, is of the most urgent necessity.
Without it life may cease at any mo-
nent. -- Youths Companion.

Bridal Costumes Of Fernando Pc.

AS WITH us, the Fernando Po bride
is clad in white mot the gauzy, flow
ing robe, however, but a plast6ring of
earthly paste resembling plaster of
paris. She wears a bridal veil, too,
composed of tiny white shells, strung
together, and which covers the face
from forehead to chin, while her plenti-
fully pomatumed tresses are surmounted
with an enormous helmet made of cow
hide. The Fernando Po bridegroom is
even moro deliberately decorated. 1t is
work Of time as well as of art to make
the young gentleman ready to take the
necessary VOWS before the two mothers
his own and his ntended's-whO act
the part of priests. Like his bride, he
is thickly plastered over with the white
totd paste, and he wears on his head an
enormous disc of fine bamboo plat
skewered to his hair with long pins
with blue and red beads for heads. His
marriage raiment is of strung shells,
and it being notorious that the instant
young man commences to make him.
self ready for marriage malicious evil
spirits are in close attendance, and on
the alert to balk his laudable intent,
as an antidote against their malevolence
he carries in his hand the whole time,
and never takes his eyes off, piece of
yam shaped like heart, and in which
the red feather of a parrot is stuck.
The marriage ceremony is the essence
of simplicity. The mother-priests
place an arm of each round the neck of
bride and bridegroom, and deliver
short address to them on their respective
duties, after which the oalabash of
palm wine is produced, and the con-
tracing parties ratify the condition by
drinking the one to the other, after
which the officiating mothers-in-law
pledge each in the remainder, and the
ceremony is at an end.--LORdOn Globe.

On the Plains.

"DO those Of our citizens who, dur.
ing this bleak and cold Christmas tide,
are comfortably and warmly housed,
clothed and fed ever bestow q single
thought on those soldiers and scouts
who are Camped and barracked far out
on the plains, where an extra glass OF
tOddy Is the extent of the Christmas
festivitiesP" The above question was
asked of an AtG reporter by Mr.. j.
Howard Paget, a scout who has been
attached TO General Miles command,
and who was an eyewitness to Miles
fight with the Nez Perces on Sept.
80 and Oct. /, 2, 3 and 4, 1877. Mr..
Paget, or Howard the name by
which he is known on the plains, is o
fne-looking, well.built young man of
thirty or thereabout, whose hardened
sinews and bronze features bear wit.
ness TO the life Of exposure he has fol-
lowed for the past seven years. He is
a native Of Iowa, and has been in Cali
fOrnia nineteen years. His first visit TO
the prairies was in 1873, when he took
a st. Louis party 30 the Black Hills; in
1875 he was driven out Of the Hills by
General Crook, since which time he has
been a Government scout.
Mr.. Paget Is quiet unassuming gem
tleman, who, although covered with
honorable scars and wounds gained in
the service of his country, is somewhat
reticent of talking Of his life on the
plains, and 1t required some little press
ing TO induce him 10 converse in such
manner that the following story might
be told. He differs also from several
OF the noted scouts in that he wears his
hair short, and not in the poetioal-
ly artistic style Of flowing locks droop-
ing over the shoulders.

We feel once more called upon to
invite the attention of colorea men in
every State in the Union, to the
many advantages held oat here to
those who wish to avail themselves
Of them. 1t is safe to say that in no
State viii little money judieiously
invested bring such satisfactory re-
turns. Growing towns all over the
State offer sach opportunities for corr
ner lot investments as can be found
no where else.
A variety of manufactures, for
home consumption and to supply the
States west OF here, requiring COM
paratively small capital, can be pro-
fftably engaged in. The legal rate of
interest is II per ceut., and with our
many undeveloped resources money
must for years to come be required at
paying rates. Why not organize
joint stock company and establish
in some of tho, many thriving locaIi-
ties IN this State. and derive some
of the benefits now. reaped By the
whites?
There is money enough in the large
eastern cities. among our people. to
raise a. fund of at least $4,000.
wherewith to enter upon this enter
prise which, in proper hands, judi
ciously managed, cannot fail OF bring
ing ample returns.
While the public sentiment of the
whites here is undergoing an un-
favorable change, toward the colored
pauper and uututored immigrants
pouring into this State, they enter
tain kindly feelings, toward those OF
any race or nationality, who possess
the. elements of good citizenship, and
add to the wealth of community.
The State is filling. up fact, enter
priscs which could now be entered
upon with small capital, viii needs
to be doubled next year, and will pro
duce no better result. Ii we let these
chances 60 by, we ought not to COM
plain if we forever remain even here
in Kansas the heWers of wood and
drawers OF water.

by such appeals. Notwithstanding
the fact that we use plain and unmis-
table language in this article, we
nevertheless feel thankful to the
Board for what acts of kindness ii
may have shown our people, and only
wish the Board was now governed
as it was at the commencement of
this exodus movement.
We favor the exodus and hope
every colored family may leave the
oppressed South, but we shall not
alloE'this Board TO run things in q
manner and style not in accordance
with the original intention, without
saying something in reference to
their little schemes to obtain more
money. Now, we propose to mail cop
les of this paper regularly to parties
we know in the East with a view of
posting them OH this Refugee bust
ness, ana think we will. by so doing
do an act that will receive the appro-
val Of the entire country.
This way of raising thousands of
dollars for the poor negro, and only
giving him a little meal and meat
and secondhand clothing, has gone
Just far enough, and must not be al
lowed'to go on any longer, and we
shall give such facts in reference to
this exodus movement as we are
able to gather them from time to
time.

lieve that the majority of white peo-
pie in the country are in favor of so
cruel an act as has been carried on
heretofore. But it il only the low
class of white people that have de-
prived of the privilege that they have
had of buying and selling colored
people, and separating husbands
srom wives and children from moth
ers. This is the class that are carry
ing on this lgncbing. We therefore
saw to the colored people in Mary
land and in the south, it adds nothing
TO their credit to let such low acts a.
these be done without putting forth
any efforts Oh your part to prevent
it. You are too afraid of loosing =
little blood, ifblood is to be shed, to
atop these horrible acts. 1t might as
well be done first as last these men
are educating their children to do the
same things, and our children will
have them to contend with about the
same thing. We would not have it
understood under any circumstances,
that we desire to uphold the colored
people in any act that is wrong; we
would rather for them all TO be good
christians and law abiding, citizens
but in spite of all that we can do.
some of them like all other people,
will go astrav and do wrong. We
could mention crimes that have been
done by white people, just as bad IS
by colored, but no lynchlng has ever
been thought of, some of them were
not even arrested. Therefore. we
want our people tried by law, and il
found guilty, punished according,
like all other people. We must there
fore put stop TO the way our peo-
Pile are being treated in Maryland and
in the South, we should live in that
way and manner as to please God and
man, and if we should have TO die for
the right, death will only he the gate
that leads to endless joys. ohm
