A Camp-Meeting AnecdOte.

An incident of camp-meeting life, de-
tailed by a clergyman on Baltimore
steamboat, is thus reported in Forest
and Stream: ,-
An old couple had supplied themselves
with bottle of pennyroyal oil with
which to keep off the mosquitoes. They
extinguished their light and retired,
forgetting the antidote.
The mosquitoes were very bad, and,
after standing it as long as they could,
the old lady got up and got we'll filled
ink-bottle instead of the oil, and gave
the old gentleman thorough lubricat-
ing with the fluid, face, hands and feet /;
she then anointed herself in like man
ner.
They again assayed to court the
drowsy god, but could only get an occa-
sional nap. Finally the old lady got up
and struck light. Giving q glance at
the bed she had just left, she beheld, to
her horror, a colored person, as she sup
posed, stretched in the place of her
spouse.
She quietly got the poker, and beat
the old fellow over the head before dis
covering her mistake. Later on in the
night, we found the old couple on board
the boat with us, he with his head near.

A POrky Story.

"On this day seventeen years ago."
remarked New Yorker the other day,
"I shipped 1000 barrels of pork to
Washington. was an army contractor
then, and wherever I heard of barrel
of pork I went for it and bought it at
some price. remember this particular
shipment because serious mistake was
made"
"How?" ...sr. .s--sz.
"Well, counted the barrels at the
depot myself, and there were only $50,
when there should have been an even
thousand. Men were ready to roll the
barrels into the freight cars, and to
make my number good I took ten bar
rels of lard from a stock ready to
ship to Baltimore. They mixed in
all right, and, OF course, I expected to
pay for 'em. A whole day went by be-
fore I saw the owner. These were STIR
ring times, you remember. He had
found himself short, and he cribbed ten
ber of barrels, and hustled the shipment
away" =
"And who did the beef man crib
from?" ~
"Well, his beef was for the soldiers,
and he made himself good by buying
three barrels of vinegar, two of crack
ers, and stealing five barrels of apples
from lot in the depot"
And did it go any further p
eyes. The most curious thing of all
was that the man ] took the lard from
sued the man who stole the apples, and
got Judgment against him for the worth
of the lard, and none of the rest of us
were out a cent. Wall Street Daily

4 Thrilling Sketch.

One warm day in August, upon the
bank of the muddy Colorado, we chill
dren were lazily sitting about on the
ground. One sister was stringing beads
taken from an old moccasin, and most
of the men were sleeping under the
wagons through the heat of the after
noon. There was great stiffness upon
everything, save for the children's chat
ter, and heat rose from the ground
that smote the eyes. Suddenly there
was a dreadful scream, echoed, re-
echoed, multiplied then another, and
another, as when one strikes the hand
upon the mouth, till in one second of
time the air seemed rent and torn with
yells. In just that second the close
chapparal had become black with Indi-
ans, who had crawled, serpent-hke, on
hands and knees, till, right upon us, in
concert they could leap into sight. They
wore cloths upon their loins, and had
some feathers wound in their hair, with
hideous paint glowing on face and
breast. l gazed in dumb amazement,
benumbed with surprise, and then I
think awoke to the excitement of the
occasion. The women and children,
through an air thick with flying arrows,
were marshaled into one covered wagon,
and there my mother wrapped us all
round with feather beds, blankets and
comforters. I do not think was fright
ened, not because of any precocity of
courage, but because of wild excite
ment that filed me. I half leaned upon
the knee of my sister. She said she was
conscious OF no pain, she felt no sudden
pang, but something warm seemed
running down her side, and, looking
down, she saw an arrow which had
pierced her flesh and protruded its finty
head from the wound. Mother" she
exclaimed, 81 am shot," and tainted.
| Ny mother, the woman whose spirit
| never failed her in this or the dreadful
| trials which succeeded this disastrous
fight, put forth her hand and drew the
arrow backward through the wound. It
was while thus supporting the head of
the girl she supposed dying, it somehow
became known to her that her husband
was lying quite dead and filed with ar
rows under the great cottonwood tree
under which the camp was made. It was
but a few moments more till one of the
men spoke from the front of the wagon.
Said dhe: "Our ammunition is giving out
and we do not know but it may come to
hand-to-hand fight. Get out the knives
| you have in the bed of the wagon. "
Through the backward march which fol-
lowed it was ever the women who rose
superior to suffering and to danger. The
men lost courage, hope and spirit, but
the women never. A few moments after
the demand for the knives Methodist
preacher, who had seized my fathers
rifle, aimed at the chief with the dinner
bell depending from his belt, and saw
him fall. In five minutes not an Indian
was to be seen, the living dragging with
them the dead as they went. In the mean
time, under cover OF the fight, our great
herd of cattle had been made to swim
the river, and were safely corraled in the
Mojave villages. Kate Heath, in Jaaa1-

How to Treat Frost Bites.

The american Agricultrist says:
" If any part of the body gets frozen the
very worst thing to do is to apply heat
directly. Keep away from the fire. Use
snow if you can get it; if not, use the
coolest possible water. Last winter our
little boy of years froze his feet while
out coasting at considerable distance
from the house. He cried all the way
home, and the case seemed pretty bad.
I brought big pailful of snow and put
his feet into it, rubbing them with the
snow. But my hands could not stand
the cold. was alarmed to see him keep
his feet in the snow SO long, but he could
not bear them out of it. It was half an
hour before he would take them out and
then the pain was all gone, and when I
had wiped them dry and rubbed them a
little he was entirely comfortable, put
on his stockings and shoes and went to
play. He never afterward had any
trouble with his feet on account of this
freezing. His sister got her feet ex-
tremely cold, and put them at once to
the fire. Her case at first was not so
bad as her brothers, and the result was
much worse. Her feet were very tender
all winter. and she suffered from chill
blains. Her feet had swollen, purple
look, and she had to take larger size Of
