An OLD Maps LETTER TO GENERAL GRANT

thicket of small pines. These evergreens,
which have grown on the margin of the
McCool farm since the battle, threaten to
choke the narrow road. What we
were going through was more like
bride-path than a place for wheels,
but, needless Of the ends Of limbs,
that whipped him in the eyes and brushed

field, wherein stands the McCOol house. This
place is one of grim fame and lasting history.

hand-to-haDd combat known to man. Tall
oaks surround the house. which is a weather
beaten, rickety structure that clearly has
been through the mills. At the time Of the
battle the dwelling was occupied by Farmer
McCool, bachelor, with his two maiden
sisters. When it grew hot and deafening all
around, the family went into the cellar, and
there Miss Millie, sitting by the side of her
sick sister, wrote the following note
GRANT, GENERAL, SIR: desire that you

in the house. MILDRED McCo0L.
A trembling courier in the person Of black

was allowed to continue.

Farmer McCool cautiously thrust his head up

In the barren wastes of Nevada
discoveries are constantly being
made of vast deposits of salt, soda,
nitre, sulphur, etc. ; an the desert
plains and in the desert bills that
are destitute of vegetation, except
scattering, stunted sage brush and
grease wood, 10000 acres OF which
would acarcely sustain an OK, add
where horned toad can scarcely
live, are also found gypsum, asbes~
tos, silica, kaolin, cinabar, plumba-
go, bituminous thale, indications of
coal, iron and many other deposits,
as we'll as veins Of copper, antimony,
galena, gold, silver aud other met
ais, all of which, when fully dsvel>
oped, will constitute immense sour~
ces of wealth. But little progress
has been made in the development
of these valuable deposits solely on
account of the want of some cheap
or means of transportation than has
yet been afforded. But they are
coming. Already narraw guage
railroads are being projected and
constructed to reach these deposits.

SMOKE FOR WOUNDS.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman mentions the case OF b
horse, Just ready to die of an old
and festered wound Fortunately,
he adds, at this stage Of the case, an
old Pennsylvania teamster came to
our relief and recommended smoking
with old shoes. A smoke was made
of shoes, soles, and all cut 10 pieces,
in hog trough, and put under the
swollen part. In few hours the
swelling subsidized, the sore commen-
ced discharging matter, and the
horse was saved.
Some years after this heard two
persons talking of a horse which had
been gored in the abdomen. Every
thing had been tried in vain the
poor creature must die. At nay
suggestion he was smoked, and
when next heard from the horse was
well. So much for wounds.
In the same year | cut my foot
with an ak. The lady Of the house,
seiziug the foot while it was yet
bleeding, held it over pan contain
ing smoking tag locks. In few
minutes the bleeding stopped, the
smoke was removed and bsndage
applied to protect it from accidents
al blows. The wound never matu-
rated, and consequently never pain
ed me. / have seen this remedy
tried in many cases, and always
with the same results. Let the read
or bear 10 mind that no IMMINENT or
salve, drawing or healing, should be
applied merely smoke the wound,
and nature will do the rest.
/ suppose smoke of burning wood
would produce the same results, but
it would not be 80 manageable
There is a principle in the smoke
of wood, which, when applied to the
flesh, coagulates the albumen, thus
rendering it unacceptable of putre-
faction. The same principle stops
bleeding by coagulating the blood
1t promotes healing, and may be
applied with decided benefit to al
most all ulcers, wounds and conta-
neous diseases. See Turner's Chem~
istry, by Liebig and Gregory, p.

FIDELITY.

Never forsake a friend. When
enemies gather around, when sick.
ness falls on the heart, when the
world is dark and cherries is the
time to try a true friendship. They
who turn from the scene of distress
betray their hypocrisy and prove
that interest moves them. If you
have friend who loves you, who
has studied your interest and happi-
ness, be sure to sustain bin in adj
versity. Let him feel that bis for !.
mer kindness is appreciated, and
that his love was not thrown away.
Real fidelity may be rare, bat it ex>
ists-in the heart. They only deny
its worth and power who have never
loved friend or lsbored to make
one happy. The good and the kind
the affecticnate, and the virtuous
see and feel the heavenly principle.
