WHITE BUFFALOES.
COmmanche superstition in Regard
TO Them How aitsObc Was Dressed.

White buffalo have frequently been
seen and killed. All the Indian tribes
regard them as "big medicine" but
they have different superstitions regard
ing them. For instance, Catlin the
painter, while among the Mandans in
1882, saw a white buffalo robe erected
on pole in their village as a sacrifice
TO the Great Spirit. 1t has been pur-
chased from the Blackfeet, who killed
the buffalo for eight horses and guam
tity of goods. On the other
hand the Comanches believed
it very dangerous to see white buffalo.
In 1869 | saw a young Comanche who
had seen white buffalo return to his
camp almost dead with fear He was
taken into his tent, the medicine men
were sent for, and they smoked him and
kept up lamentations over him day and
night for week. When he came out
he believed that he had very narrow
escape from death. In 1869 white
buffalo was killed by white man on
the north fork of the Red river Indian
Territory, and the hide presented to
General Grierson. He desired to have
it dressed topreserve it, but failed to
get any Indian to undertake the task
for long time At last he prevailed
on Comanche chief named Horse
back, to have the operation performed.
Horseback selected one of his squaws
had the medicine men" of his tribe
go through various ceremonies
over her to preserve her life, and
then placed her in teepee some dis
lance froh. ais camp where the hide
was taken to Il by soldier and taken
. way by him wnen dressed. No other
Indian would look at the hide, much
less touch it. Her food was left at some
distance from her teepee and when the
robe was dressed medicine ceremonies
were held over her before she was al
lowed to rejoin the camp. | twitted
Horseback about the fear of the robe
calling his attention to the fact that no
harm befell any of the white men who
handled the robe, but he answered that
such might be the case, but what was
"bad medicine" for Comanche might
be ''good medicine, for white man
and vice versa. He proposed to take
no risks in the matter.

Origin of silk Making.

Hoang III, who lived 2600 b. O., was
exceedingly anxious that his legitimate
wife would do something toward the
welfare and happiness OF his people;
therefore she caused large number of
silk-worms to be collected, and atten-
lively watched their labors, and in
terested herself in their habits, feeding
them with her own hands till she as
certained how they were reared, and
the manner of winding the silk from
the cocoons, and using it in the manu-
facture of fabrics. 1t was forbidden
under penalty of death, to export the
eggs of the silk-worms or furnish any
information regarding the manufacture
of silk. 1t was near the sixth century
before the obscurity which enveloped
silk culture became cleared away. In
the time of Alexander, the value of
silk in Greece was exactly its weight in
gold. Its introduction among the Ro-
mans was the signal for an immense
expenditure for procuring this lovely
fabric for personal adornment. Silk
cloaks of rare value enveloped the
patricians, and such was the rage for
these precious mantles that the senate
thought ii necessary to forbid men the
use of silk garments.

Mental Beauty.

Nothing on which the eye can gaze
is so pleasing as female beauty. Flora
in her garden kingdom displays no
flowers so lovely and bright. Her cheek,
in the language of Bulwer, is like rose
crushed upon ivory. The eye no mat
ter what color, facinates with its elo-
quent expression. 1t charms with the
tender radience Of sympathy or love-
A fine writer said Cupid perpetually
hovers about the eyes of beauty" 1t is
bewitching organ, a sublime mystery,
celestial symbol. Shakespeare, who
spoke as no one else did, makes Oberon
say: Lady, ] kiss thine eye and say
goodnight" The face now lovely in

luxurient, bouyant and graceful Per-
cival thus spoke in raptures upon fe-
male lovliness:

will more freely pay due homage to wo-
mans charms than We. But what
would become of her glory but for her
soul that dwells in the beautiful tenn
pie. Alas the frosts of time withers
beauty as it does the fragile flowers.
But the mind withers not, still scars
on silver wings and reflects the hues Of
all that's in earth or sky. \ poet said
of one:
Beauty has gone but yet her mind is still
As beautiful as ever still the play
OF light around her lips has every charm
Of childhood in its freshness,
In the peculiar glory Of human in
tellcct that survives the wreck Of years.
When the leaves of life's spring and
summer lie dead around us, it shines

mental power and cultivation is ac-
companied by mental beauty. Some
of the strongest minds are full of hate
| full passions, and resemble bowers OF
vines, shrubbery anu flowers filled with
serpenss. Mental beauty is associated
with intelligence, amiability, goodness
Of heart, sincerity, purity and truth.

Names of Countries.

The following countries, it is said,
were originally named by the Ph9ni-
clans, the greatest commercial people
in the world. The names, in the
Ph9nician language, signify something
characteristic of the places which they
designate.
Europe signifies a country of white
complexion; SO named because the in
habitants were of lighter complexion
than those of Asia and Africa.
Asia signifies between or in the mid
die, from the fact that the geographers
placed it between Europe and Africa.
Africa signifies the land of corn or
ears. 1t was celebrated for its alum
dance of corn, and all sorts of grain.
Siberia signifies thirsty or dry-very
characteristic.
Spain, a country of rabbits or comics.
1t was once so infested with those ami
mails that it sued Augusta for an army
to destroy them.
Italy, II country Of pitch, from its
yielding great quantities of black
pitch.
Calabria, also, for the same reason.
Gaul, modern France, signifies yellow
haired, as yellow hair characterizes its
inhabitants.
The English of Caledonia is high
HILL This was rugged mountainous
province in Scotland
Hibernia is utmost or last habitation,
for beyond this westward the Ph@ni-
clans never extended their voyages.
Britain, the country of tin, great
quantities being found on it and ada
cent islands. The Greeks called it
Albion, which signifies in the Phmni-
clan tongue either white or high noun
tains, from the whiteness OF its shores
or the high rocks on the western coast.

The following is an extract from q
recent lecture in New York city by
Prof. W. S. Phillips:
He began his lecture by saying that
there was no place where memory ling
ers longer than around ones home.
No Other place was so replete with de-
lightful fancies and imaginations, and
in ambitious youth. fiery manhood, or
restful age, no place was so sweet as
home-a home where the delightful
ties are kept taught by domestic and
Christian love, is truly heaven on
earth.
"The reason why all are not as happy
in the connubial state as they should
be-" said the lecturer, sis attributed to
many domestic infecilities, such as dis
regarding the vows breathed at the
alter, being carried away by a fresher
face, and becoming indifferent from
causes conducive to wrangles and jars,
which terminate either in the divorce
courts or bring about an aversion, COM
pared with which home was worse than
hell. In the majority of instances
where family quarrels have been sifted
down, the husband was found to be the
first to err. All husbands seem to for
get that they took their wives for better
or for worse, and that when buttons
fall off of their own accord, their better
halves should not be held responsible
for the absence of the refractory i'm
plements. The model husband is a
man who is never so busy, or in too
great hurry, to find time to kiss his
wi fn twice ar thrice before going to his
business if she desires it. He returns
to his home as early rs his vocation adj
mits, spends as much time by her side
as possible, and expends every effort to
make life continuous honeymoon de-
void of honeymoon quarrels. The
model wife should just as earnestly
strive to please her husband. Her de-
votion should be as strong as adman-
tine, as true as steel and as lasting as
eternity. Pure, mutual affection, not
romantic, sentimental passion, are the
ingredients of blissful life"

thin man. The following story, illus
tratiye Of his exceeding lameness, Is
told Of him During the war, while In
command of division of eonfederates,
he had the misfortune to be wounded,
but not seriously. An acquaintance
about to visit Richmond was requested
to call upon the generals wife for the
purpose of relieving any anxiety she
might feel by explaining the nature
and extent of his injury. Col. -
called at the lady's house, and as re-
port goes: found her in tears, she hav-
ing already received the news of her
husbands injury by telegraph. The
officer attempted to reassure her by
saying that the general would be on
duty again in few days, but without
avail.
"Why, madam" he expostulated,
you ought not to give yourself so much
concern. He received only a flesh
woound; no bones were injured"
"Ah, colonel" she sobbed, you
don't know th'-the general rs well as
II do. or you wouldn't tell mime he
could be-be wounded without strik-
striking bone !"

Captain Paul Boyton, the famous
swimmer, who recently was reported
dead, is alive and, with the exception
of two slight bullet wounds, is vel. He
is prisoner of war in Lima, whence
he wrote to Baltimore friend on Feb
ruary7 Z. In the letter he says: One
night l sailed across the Island of San
Lorenzo and dropped anchor under
the cliff at the head of it. The island
was occupied by small garrison of
Chilians, and their fleet anchored at

Lima to surrender on January Is. AT
that time the city was in the hands of a
mob. " Bullets flew through the
streets as tick as hail, writes Boyton;
" the yells of wounded men, the shrieks
of frightened women, the red glare of
a hundred fires-all went to form
about as perfect picture of hell as
one could well imagine. On the night
of the 18th you could not walk ten
steps without stumbling over dead
man."
