The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-09-18

Elder Holiday, who has been for the last
two years or thereabout pastor of the Black.
ford Street Church, has given up his charge
here and gone to Pittsburgh.
The Rev. Holiday came to Indianapolis
from Louisville, and since his sojourn in our
midst has made host of warm friends. We
believe him to be a Christian minister in
every sense of the word, zealously working
for the elevation of his race. Though the
ravagcs of time and labor begin to tell on
him, we predict that he will yet do much
good. We wish him a bright future in
whatever field his lot may be cast, and espe-
cially recommend him to the good people of
the smoky city.

Newspaper Men.

Editors do nothing but go to shows
and eat peanuts, it would appear from
the extravaganza idea some have of the
craft. An unknown voice in the follow
ing well-chosen words timely remarks
"An editor business is to write edito-
rials, grind out poetry, sort and rewrite
communications, listen to all kinds OF
complaints, offer advice on all subjects,
from prescribing for a baby with the
collie up to specie resumption, keep a
waste-basket, steal matter, fight other
peoples battles, take beans, pumpkins
and green wood, when he can get them,
on subscription, work eighteen hours
out of twenty-four, always be in good
humor and witty, be alike impervious to

Admirers of genius often expect a
poet to be personally beautiful, like Apol-
10. Tennyson, it would seem, does not
meet this ideal Says the San Francisco
Chronicle.
Nobody would suspect him for poet
now. His face is strong, and his eyes
have certain brightness. but he is
scanned, rather than wrinkled, from fore
head to chin; he appears to be puffy; he
is partially bald; he stoops and shuffies;
dresses ordinarily and carelessly, and
has u generally rustic mein and denote
ment. He does not affect and never has
affected, general society, and the fact
shows i'll his bearing and slovenly raj
ment.
The correspondent adds that Mr.. Ten
nyson has made such wise investments
of his large literary earnings that his en-
tire property is probably worth 81, 000,-
600 remarkable fortune for poet.

Different Customs.

In France they have many customs
which seem strange to us. In the hotels,
oil the ornamental functions in the bust
ness are discharged by the lady, while
the man does the hard work. 1t is the
husband who cooks, and his wife who
sits behind the inn counter airing hen
smart silk gown and cap-strings. French
men are great kissers and shakers of
hands, but the latter courtesy is not
practiced between sexes. A Frenchman
bows to lady without extending his
palm, and would be thought very for
ward indeed if he tried to shake hands
with an unmarried lady. He might
kiss married lady, however, on New
Years day, or in an outburst OF great
emotion on any other occasion, with
out anybody-even the husband-de-
murring and he may embrace men,
bers of his own sex at all times. A
French grown-up son kisses his father,
and alludes to him as "papa :" and,
as everybody knows, a son must ask
his "papa's" consent to his marriage,
no matter how old he may be. Young
Frenchmen never propose in person
decorum requires the offices of third
person. 1t is safe to call all French
men sir, and address all Frenci.women,
even to the street fruit-sellers, as mad
amoiselle.

Lord Marchmont's Recipe for Lon
geyity.

Lord Marchmont, the friend of Pope.
lived to the age of eighty-six, preserving
his strength and faculties to the last.
Sir John Sinclair wished to ascertain the
system he pursued, and received for an
swer that he had laid down when young
one maxim, to which he rigidly adhered,
namely: Never to mix his wines.
What luxurious PHILOSOPHERS some
people have! My Lord Marchmont was
resolved to be long-lived, virtuous,
venerable man; and therefore he laid
the maxim "never to mix his wines. :"
To get one glass of wine is what some
human beings, bent double with age, toll
and rheumatism, can seldom hope for !;
while another of the race, having moth
ing to bind him and nothing to do, shall
become an example of the beauty of the
maxim" never to mix your wines. !"
Lord M. did accordingly for many years
restrict himself to the use of claret, but
his physicians having forbidden him to
take wine, he resolved, with equal self
denial, to "confine himself to Burgundy"
and accordingly with perseverance that
cannot be sufficiently commended, he
|" took bottle of it every day for fifteen
years"
All we have to lament is that thou
sands as good people as this noble lord,
have not an atom either of his pleasure
or his leisure.

A signal. and the hatcbets crash

A signal, and the hatchets crash
through the skulls of the sleeping In
dians, blow after blow in quick aicces-
sion. 1t is the work of minute, but in
that brief time ten of the twelve Indians
are killed; two only escape in the dark
ness.
The prisoners no longer
gather the provisions, take the guns of
the Indians, and place them in canoe
The thoughtful women, to prevent pur-
suit, quickly cut holes in all the other
canoes and set them adrift. They take
their seats in the remaining canoe. and
push out into the stream.
A thought comes. If they are spared
to reach their home, will their friends
believe their story? They will have
evidence that can not be disputed. They
paddle back to the island. Mrs. Dustin
runs knife around the scalplocks of the
dead Indians, and takes them from the
skulls. They start once more in the
darkness. They know that the river
will bring them to their homes.
The current bears them on. Soon
they are amid the rapids at Pennacook,
but the thought of home, of liberty,
cools their brains and steadies their
nerves. The intrepid women handle the
paddles dexterously, steering clear of
sunken rocks and dangerous whirlpools
They come to space of clear water,
and then to falls, around which they
must carry the canoes. They are in
danger of death by drowning, In danger
of prowling savages, whose wigwams are
still standing on the banks of the wind
ing stream, but no Indian discovers
them. With tireless energy they ply
their paddles. Days pass. At last they
sweep round bend, and behold familiar
scenes; they are once more at home,
coming upon their sorrowing friends like
apparitions from the dead 1t is a mar
velous story they have to tell of endur-
ance. heroism, and victory. No one can
doubt their words, for there are the
scalps, evidence undoubtable.
BY every fireside the story o. Hannah
Dustin, Mary Neff, and Samuel Leonard
son is narrated. Presents come to them
fifty pounds from the general court of
Massachusetts, and a rich present from
the Governor of New York.
A monument has been reared upon
the spot where they obtained their free
dom, commemorative of their endurance,
resolution and heroic action. -Harper's

USEFUL HINTS.

To Polish stained floors, rub them
thoroughly once week with beeswax
and turpentine.
STRONG brine may be used to advan-
tage in washing bedsteads hot alum il
also good for this purpose.
DIP new broom in hot water Ia
make it durable. To keep q broom from
getting stiff and hard hang it in cellar
way.
GLASS should be washed in cold
water, which gives brighter, and
warm water.
To REMOVE grass stains, wash the
stained places in clean, cold, soft water,
without soap, before the garment is
otherwise wet.
A VERY admirable imitation of stained
glass for windows can be produced by
FASTING over common windows thin
sheets of silk paper printed in brilliant
oil colors, tasteful in design. The effect
is said to be fully equal to the finest
colored glass, and the cost trihe.
This will open new field to amateur
lady artists even more fascinating than
china painting.
The following ointment is excellent
for an infamed bunion Iodine, twelve
grains spermaceti ointment, half an
ounce. A portion about the size of a
horse bean to be rubbed on the affected
part twice or thrice a day. If the
bunion is not infiamed, the best remedy
is to place on it first piece of diachlyon
plaster, oxide of lead and oil, and upon
it piece of thick leather, this having a
hole the size of the bunion cut in it.
ONE of the simplest and most effectual
things to whiten the hands is to take a
wineglassful of eau de Cologne and an
other of lemon-juice scrape two cakes
of brown Windsor soap to a powder and
mix in mold let it be till hard, then
use as ordinary soap. To whiten the
nails, If red or coarse, take dilute sui
phuric acid two drachms; tincture of
myrrh one drachm; spring water four
ounces mix. First cleanse the hands
with the above soap, then dip the fingers
into the mixture. This should be done
at least twice day until the desired
effect is produced. Nothing adds so
much to beauty as q delicate, we'll
shaped hand, and nothing shows sooner
the want OF proper care and attention.

A Young Lady Traveller that Rivaled
Spoke and Cameron.

There is no woman In our day, asserts
the Saturday Review, whose life has
been richer in romantic incident or whose
death has possessed q more tragic inter-
est than that of Alexandrine Time.
That n young, wealthy and beauti-
full girl should give herself up deliber-
ately to African travel is of itself AN as
tonishing thing, that she should carry
out her resolution as Miss Time did,
with the constant purpose OF bringing
light to bear upon "the habitations of
cruelty" is heroic. As mere traveller
she almost rivaled Spoke and Cameron;
and there is fascination in her story,
in the passionate devotion she inspired
III those who formed her escort, that be-
longs to her alone. She was murdered
by two treacherous Touareg chiefs in
Fezzan, south of Tripoli, in March, 1869,
in the Both year OF her age. Miss Beth
am Edwards, in her new book, "Six
Life Studies of Famous Women" says:
ga few days after her departure the
murderous scheme was put into execu-
ton. Early in the morning quarrel
broke out--as it is supposed, intention
ally-among the camel drivers, and, hear
ing the noise. the young mistress of the
caravan hastily quilted her tent to see
what she could do in the way of pacifica-
ton. Her appearance was the signal
agreed upon for the massacre One
Touareg first disabled her right hand by
sabre thrust, in order to prevent her
from using her revolver, then, with
rife-ball in the breast, achieved his
deadly work. The others rushed on to
the slaughter. The three Dutch sailors,
her sole European attendants, were next
assassinated, and then the plundering of
the rich caravan began. The faithful
negroes, who adored their kind young
mistress, were carried off with the spoil,
and the bodies of the victims left unbur-
led on the sands. Thus persisted, III the
flower of her youth, one of the most en-
terprising lady travellers, and one of the
most courageous women who ever lived. "

to conta an excess Of fibrin. Vegetine acts
by converting the blood from its diseased con-

manent cure, it must be taken regularly, and
may take several bottles, especially in cases of
long standing. Try it, and your verdict will be
