A Settlers Thrilling Escape from In
dians.

Just below Kenawha Falls, in West
Virginia, writes correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, is an over
hanging rock of immense size jutting out
about one hundred feet over the seething
whirlpool, and about the same height
above. This was once the scene of re.
markable adventure. The Indians were
in hot pursuit of man named Van Bib
Der, settler and a man of distinction in
those early times. He was hard pressed,
and all access to the river below and
above being cut off he was driven to this
jutting rock, which proved to be the
Jumping off place for him. He stood on
the rock in full view of the enemy
above and below, who yelled like de-
mons at the certainty of his speedy cap
ture. He stood up boldly, and with his
rifle kept them at bay. As he stood
there he looked across the river-saw
his friends-his wife with her babe in
her arms, all helpless to render him
assistance. They stood as if petri6ed
with terror and amazement. She cried
at the top of her voice: "Leap into the
river and meet mep' Laying her babe
on the grass, she seized the oars and
sprang into the skitf alone. As she
neared the middle of the river, her hus-
band saw the Indians coming in full
force and yelling like demons. "Wife,
wife," he screamed, "I'm coming; drop
down o little lower" With this, he
sprang from his crag and descended like
an arrow into the water, feet foremost.
The wife rested on her oars moment to
see him rise to the surface, the little
canoe floating like cork, bobbing about
on the boiling flood. 1t was an awful
moment; it seemed like an age to her;
would he ever rise? Her earnest gaze
seemed to penetrate the depths of the
water, and she darted her boat farther
down the stream. He rose near her.
In moment the canoe was alongside of
him, and she helped him to scramble
into it amid q shower of arrows and
shot that the baffled Indians poured into
them. The daring wife did not speak
word her husband was more dead
than alive, and all depended on her
strength being maintained till they
could reach the bank. This they did,
just where she had started, right where
the babe was still lying, Growing and
laughing. The men pulled the skiff
high up on the sand, and the wife slowly
arose and helped to lift Van Bibber to
his feet. He could not walk, but she
laid him down beside his babe, and then,
seating herself, she wept wildly, just as
anv other woman would have done un-
der the circumstances. The babe is now
grandfather, and that rock is called
cyan Bibber's Rock" to this day.

TIMELY CAUTIoN.-Genuine Hop
Bitters are put up in square paneled,
amber -colored bottles, with white label
on one side printed in black letters, and
green hop cluster, and on the other side

form in which genuine Hop Bitters are
put up, and the sole right to make, sell
and use them is granted to the Hop Bit

SKINS, MoNEY.-How were the men
to be brought together who wanted each
others articles? How was the farmer to
find tailor who would give him coat
in exchange for sheep or a sack of
corn? How was he to get furniture from
an upholsterer with a calf or load of
hay? The progress of human life would
have been brought to a deadlock. Viii
lage life on petty scale, upon the sys-
tenn of things made to order, would have
been the inevitable fate of human beings.
Some contrivance was imperiously called
for to clear away the difficulty, and thus
it happened that money was invented.
1t made its appearance at the very origin
of the human race; savages bethought
themselves of furs or skins to make trade,
the exchange of goods possible. Their
instinct revealed to them the principle of
money, the principle Of all instruments
of exchange. They saw that the only
way to get over the perplexity was to Sc
lect some article which every one should
be willing to take in exchange for the
goods which he had to sell, and then
with it to buy those particular things
which he required for the supply of his
wants. The path for trade was instantly
cleared for the whole human race
Money was found forever in the form OF
that primitive period-skins. Its essence
and action were discovered for all time.
Furs acted as an interposed commodity,
as a go-between-between what seller
parted with and what he obtained in re.
turn-and this has been the nature of all
money down to this very hour. The
skins so employed were instruments for
exchanging goods and nothing else; and
so are sovereigns and dollars and every
form of money. The mighty machinery
of division of employments was at once
brought within the reach of the human
race. Progress in civilization was made
possible. The halter and the shoemaker
could make hats and shoes for the whole
town. The grocer could pile up stores in
his shop for all. The manufacturer could
weave cloth for the whole community.
They all relied, and their confidence was
not deceived, on their goods being bought
with money, whatever that money hap
pened to be, and on their being able in
return to procure with it whatever they
required. And here it was that consent
came in for money, and still continues to
come in. All the hunters took skins for
their money by agreement; no law or
force compelled them. The skins came
naturally into use as convenient for all.
And so it is now. No law forces any
shopkeeper to sell his goods for coin.
He may prefer barter. He may aftix a
leg of mutton as the price of one article,
a pair of boots as that of another. But
he consents to take soverelgns and shill'
ings, and what he does every one else
does too. So, also, does the government
of the nation. 1t selects its form OF
money at its own pleasure, and every Ia
borer and merchant adopts it.

=" "NIy friends" said the political
speaker, with the burst of ingenious
eloouence, "I will be honest" There
were large number of neighbors pres
ent, and the terrific outburst of applause
which followed this remark entirely up
set the point which the orator was about
to introduce.
"A writer on style says: "It is the
fashion in France for ladies to take tea
in their bonnets and gloves" One OBJ
lection to this is that some of the bonnets
do not hold much more than small
lump of sugar.
