,Bed-ridden From Choice,


Near Mechanicsbnrg. q small country.

garet Robbins, wife. Of William Rob
bins, well-known farmer ia: the eastern
part of: tSangamon County This is MI.
Robbins: second wife, and ten years ago
(oaly = few years after their 3i,narriage)
she fell in a fit of rage at hex husband
and went to, bed for spite, and said she
would never do another lick of work or
get up to her meals. The reason for
this queer movements that previous to
and at the time of their marriage, Mrs.
Robbins was ,yery well Of in regard to
money matters. Her. husband, feeling
that he had an eye to business, invested
her money .as he then thought to: good
advantage. il, But his, venture: proved 9
failure and they we're left in almost desr
ititute circumstances 4 She then made
her SILLY declaration, and has kept her
word. For, seven, years following this
crisis she wasnnot. out other bed.sn:But
three years ago size began to get tired,
and concluded to getup and walk to the
breakfast table, ., She was very weak,
and stumbling over a chair, fell, break
ing her ankle. She was" put back to
bed, and now says she Will die there.
Her daughter waits on her as though
she were q child, and dsnever complains in
the least, but r. return receives many
sooldings from the mother, who keeps q
broom-bandle in the bed and uses it on
the faithful girl when: she is displeased
about: anything that has been done.

Indians in Massachusetts.

A correspondent of the Boston Post
writing about the remnants of Indian
tribes surviving in Massachusetts,
says: 1t is believed by those who
have an opportunity to know, that no
Indian of pure aboriginal blood is
now a resident in the commonwealth,
they having from time to time inter
married with the whites and those of
African descent. Counting all those
who have Indian blood in their veins
in the State, in the vestiges of tribes
remaining, there are to-day not far
from 1000 persons, embraced i'll 225
families, and it must he borne in mind
that the numbers contained in these
tribes have been decreasing for over
200 years. 1t is very significant fact
that no tribe now existing is increas-
ing numerically in the common
wealth

Swiss Traits.

The laborer and peasant Of Switzer-
land have in many respects rather
hard time of it. Since the influx of
foreign tourists has assumed such
large proportions during the past
twenty years, the cost of living has
greatly increased, while the wages of
the laborers remain stationary, and
the few acres of ground of the
peasants refuse to yield larger
harvest. Rents in cities and towns,
the cost of wine, meats, flour and
bread, which during the past twenty
five years have all risen at least fifty
per cent, present no attractive side
for men who have to work for fifty or
sixty cents a day. They generally live
in crowded and poorly ventilated
houses, perhaps warm enough, but al
most bare of furniture and comfort
If they can have meat once or twice a
week, they consider themselves happy.
They are badly off, for the reason that
they have to work hard. live poorly,
and are seldom able to save anything.
But Notwithstanding all this, they are
happy in their way; they love their
country, with its institutions read, are
intelligent; and know that intelligence
and industry, and not bayonets, pre-
serve the peace in Switzerland AS to
| the peasants, or small farmers, they
seldom live on farms, but in clusters
of houses, villages and towns. The
reason thereof is that their land is
seldom in one piece, but is cut up in
small pieces of from one-quarter of an
acre to whole acre, and scattered for
miles in different directions. The
peasants are early riSers, industrious,
simple and economical in their habits
AS in Germany and France, so in
! Switzerland, the women work in the
! fields beside the men. in fact, the
women are generally quicker and
more industrious than the men, and
the economical principle in the former
is more developed than in the latter,
for these like to frequent the beer and
wine sal Jons, and spend some Of their
daily earnings, or of theproceeds of their
fields. They generally possess a
Yankees desire for money, but lack
! his shreWdness as to the ways of max
ing and saving it. Their cares are
few and, like their income, rather
light. They NOW their hay, herd their
few COWS and goats, prune their vines,
and leave the outcome Of their work
to time and Providence. Their taxes
are comparatively light, and yet the
majority of these little farmers are
never cut of debt Politically they are
conservative democrats, loving home
rule and dislihng centralization.-
