EARTH EATING TRIBEs.-M. Crevaux, a
French naval surgeon, has lately been ex.
ploring the northern parts of South America,
more especially in the valley of the Orinoco
and its affluents. Among other facts of OBJ
servation, he states that the Guaraunos, at
the delta of that river take refuge in the trees
when the delta is inundated. There they
make sort of dwelling with branches and
clay. The women light, on a small piece of
floor, the fire needed for cooking, and travel
ers on the river by night often see with sur
prise long rows of flame at a considerable
height in the air. The Guaraunos dispose of
their dead by hanging them iu hammocks in
the tops of trees. DR.. Crevaux, in the course
of his travels, met with geophagous or earth.
eating tribes. The clay, which often serves
for their food for whole months, seems to be
a mixture of oxide iron and some organic sub
stances. They have recourse to it more es-
pecially in times of scarcity; but strange to
say there are eager gourmands for the sub.
stance, individuals in whom the depraved
taste becomes so pronounced that they may
be seen tearing pieces Of ferruginous clay
from huts made of it, and putting them in
their mouths.

"CHARLEsToN DAY" AT THE ATLANTA Ex

"Charleston day" al the Atlanta Cotton Ex'
position, on which occasion the South Caro-
iipians were cordially received, and are re-
ported as having been delighted with the ex'
hibitioD. A feature of the day was the an
nual reunion of the Mexican Veterans Asso
citation of Georgia, in the afternoon. About
twenty.four Veterans were present. General
Henry R. Jackson, of Savannah, President Of
the Association, delivered an eloquent address
after which loud calls were made for General
Sherman, who with members of his staff and
others, was visiting the Exposition. BY invi
tation, Gen. Sherman was seated among the
Veterans. He declined to say anything for
some time, but was at last prevailed upon to
take the stand, Joseph A. johnson, Of Rich

Sherman, but as Mexican Veteran, and, as
such, we would like to hear him." When he
took the stand Sherman was greeted with loud
applause. He said that he had not intended

coterie of friends and fashionable acquain.
tances, many of whom had been his intimates
for series of years. He was originally in a
very small way himself, and had found it
necessary to succumb to thousand humilities
and inconveniences years before, that were
not only excessively annoying to his naturally
proud spirit, but irksome and hard to cope
with.
Twenty years previously, he was porter
in the store of crusty old millionaire, who
though he had little sympathy for the poor
and humble generally, was, nevertheless, upon
certain occasions, kind and liberal to those
he chanced to fancy. Upon very hot day
in midsummer, this wealthy employer OF
Warmers, at that time, saw Joe Gas he was
then called) sweating and toiling up to his
store.door with truck. load of merchandise
he had procured from neighboring vessel OF
old G-'s. The employer watched his
porter as he came along toward the sidewalk
putting and struggling with his burden, and
when he arrived before the door and removed
his slouched hat, to pass his weather Drowned
arm across his heated forehead, the million
aire said, pleasantly, "Well, Joe, this'll pass
for hot day.
Every warm, sir, very" replied Joe, look
ing about him to see if some other per
son were not addressed, instead of himself
for old G. was not in the habit of being thus
familiar with his dependents.
As Joe Warner tugged and labored to re-
move the goods safely from his dray, his EN-
ployer watched his movements, and finally
said:
"Joe, what the deuce do you work so hare
forp"

EXPERT PENMANsH1P.-At the Omaha
National Bark may be seen 500 bill execu.
ted entirely with pen by some expert pen.
man and forger. It is very skillfully done,
and not one person out of a hundred would
detect it without the closest examination, and
even then the detection would be purely ac-
cidental. It is executed in all the various
colored inks used on bank notes, land even the
paper itself is made to look like bank note
paper by little strokes of the pen. This bill
is really wonderful curiosity. It was paid
to the bank by Government official through
whose hands It passed without detection. It
was received at the bank, but its true charac-
ter was soon afterwards discovered.
The execution of the bill probably required
two days hard work, which would give the
forger $40 day for his labor. He has
probably set afoat many Of these bills, as
we'll as bills of larger denominations, and it
is likely that the twenty dollar bill above
mentioned has passed through hundreds of
hands without detection.

s@ A culprit was recently tried in Ger
man court Of justice for murder and robbery.
The Judge, before summing up the evidence
for the jury's consideration, asked the prisoner
whether he had anything to say for himself.
"Only this, your Honor" replied the latter ;
lit was not a murder, but suicide" Judge
"How do you make that out" Prisoner
"In this way, your Honor: The deceased,
for years before bis death, went about every
where saying that he was determined to put
an end to himself; but he never had the
courage to do so. At last his irresolution
moved me to pity; so, to save him from dis.
appointment, and, more especially from be:
ing worse than his word, I suicided him. "
Judge-"That is all very we'll; but what
made you take his watch ?" Prisoner
"When he was dead be did not require a
watch; did, and SO very naturally put it in
my pocket. Besides he was an old friend of
mine, and wanted something to remember

POUND CAKE.-Here is a recipe for q
pound cake, which possesses the merit of
being in exact proportion, without the trou-
BILE of weighing: One tea'cup Of butter, one
cofee.cup of sugar, one cup and half OF
-four, FIVE large eggs, or six small ones, one
cup of stoned raisins, one tea-spoonful of
mace. Beat the butter and sugar to cream,
scatter -four over the raisins, and put them
in layer, with two.thirds of the cake dough
under them, and the other third over them.
1t is always safe to put paper in the bottom
of your tin for cake that has raisins in it,
as it requires longer time to bake than one
without.

GooD SUBSTITUTE FOR SALERATUs.-Bi-
carbonate of soda can always be used in place
Of saleratus, and is better better because less
likely to be impure. 1t can be found at any
drug store. When mixed with sour milk it
forms lactate of soda, salt whose acid is the
natural acid Of the stomach. Consequently
the bread made of graham and corn meal
with sour milk and soda is wholesome.

naT A writer who claims to have thorough
ly investigated the matter, asserts that the
publishing house of Harper & Brothers is
strictly family affair, and that in the estab-
lishment there are fathers, sons and grand
SONS. None of the family can be admitted
to the firm unless they have become practical
printers, and each one has his specially in
the office work. The Harpers are all blondes
and all look alike.

GEORGIA. WOMEN ON THE SHERMAN SUB
JEcT.-It has been said that the women ot
the South have never been false to their dead
heroes, nor have they ever joined in any dem
onstrations to the General who burnt theil
homes and destroyed their 6resides during the
late war.
Two cases, by way of illustration, occurred
at the depot this morning A party of well
known gentlemen of this city were discussing
the proposed reception to be given General
Sherman on the anniversary Of the day on
which be burnt Atlanta.
One prominent ex-Confederate officer re-
marked II got my orders from my wife THU
morning in regard to my part in the reception
She said to me : "W--,i if you have any:
thing to do with the reception of this old
scoundrel, never come back to your wife and
children" You see, was in the army when
Sherman came to Atlanta, but my wife and
children were here. and his treatment of them
was such that my wife has never forgiven
him-and never will"
At this point another gentleman, formerly
a Northern officer, gave his experience with
bis Southern wife. II told her last night
said he, "that must take her to the hotel and
let her shake hands with my old comrade
Gen. Sherman. She at once replied with
considerable spirit "Well, if you do, I will
get lot of little ribbon pins and stick in my
glove, and be will think be has sat down on q
paper of tacks. The fact is, I don't think
these Southern women get fully reconstructed
even when they marry Northern officers"
We might multiply just such cases as tht
above to the extent of dozen columns Of tht
PostAppeal, but these two will suffice to show
how our women feel about giving Sherman {

An Unknown Baby.

An unknown baby, about ten or twelve
hours old, was found Wednesday about IL
o'clock by Officer Robinson at the intersec-
ton of Morris street and Pogues Run, care
fully hid away IN the bushes. The Coroner
was Immediately notified, and upon ex-
animation found that the child had been
born alive and had evidently been placed
there some time during Tuesday night
There is no clue, and neither the faintest
possible suspicion who placed it there. 1t
had doubtless been placed there by its un-
natural mother to better conceal her shame.
An investigation will be instituted by the
Coroner to ferret out the mystery. The
body was taken in charge of by Under
taker Warner.

Langston no longer desire to repre-
sent our Government in Hayti, we do
not think that President Garfield
could appoint any gentleman to fill
the vacancy that would give any
more genuine satisfaction to the col
ored people all over the country, and
who would more ably discharge his
duties, than Alfred J Anderson.

BETHEL CHURCH In DANGER.

We desire to call the attention Of
the colored people of indianapolis to
the fact that Bethel Church property
on Vermont street is in danger of
being lost. AS many are aware, the
Church was sold the Gath of last July
for debt Of s4, 500. The purchaser
under the mortgage gave the Church
authorities one year in which to re-
deem the property, and as that time
has nearly expired, it is plainly ap-
parent to all that something must be
done, and that speedily, too, if the
property is saved. Now, it would be
shameful and almost disgraceful for
the colored people of this city to al
low the Church to be lost for the
debt which now hangs upon it. We
do not speak only to the membership
and congregation of Bethel, but to
all the colord people of this city. The
Church is in a measure common prop
erty to all, and as Andrew Jackson
said to Stephan A. Douglas, all should
put their shoulders to the wheel,
pray God for success, and push for
ward. The amount necessary to be
raised by July "a, in order to save
the property, is 50, 3,235.5 Sc. Everybody
should do something for Bethel. 1t
should not be published te the world
that such valuable property should
be lost to our people by neglect and
inactivity. Let us all go to work and
do what we can to save Bethel.
