WONDERS OF THE YELLOWSTONE.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from the Yellowstone Park, says !.
"A half-mile further northward across the
Firehole River, and neaa its bank, is the
greatest geyser in the world--the Giant
1t has broken cone that is set upon the
almost level surface, but the enclosing
formation has fallen away on one side, the
like tessellated pavement. This is a
rather uncertain geyser, but goes of usually
about once in four days, and generally near
sunset. To see the outburst is the greatest
show of this extraordinary place, but che
Giant though slow in moving is accom-.
modating and gives ample notice, the Lit
tie Devils adjoining, and a vent in the side
Of the crater, boiling and bubbling for some
time before it sends up its enormous col
umn, which plays an hour and half. This
huge outburst comes like tornado, and its
stream Of water, when in operation, runs
into and more than doubles the current OF
the river. The column, fully s feet in
diamc.cr, rises $50 feet at first, and Is after.
ward maintained at 200 feet. The noise all
the time is deafening, the surmounting
steam making immense clouds that seem to
cover half the valley The column goes up
perfectly erect, and falls back around the
cone, deluging everything with hot water.
Such q sight is worth much fatigue and a
long journey. Near the Giant is sur
face of elastic silicious matter, resembling
glue, laid out in beds about an inch thick,
which rebounds like india-rubber when trod
upon. It is of bright colors--green, red,
yellow, and white"

A Thanksgiving Proclamation.


The President has issued Tbanksgiv-
ing proclamation as follows: SIN futher-
ance of the custom of the people at the
closing of each year to engage, upon a
day set apart for that purpose, in special
festival of praise to the Giver Of All Good,
I, Chester A. Arthur, President of the
United States, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the Goth day of November next, as
day of National Thanksgiving. The
year which is drawing to an end has
been replete with evidences of Divine
goodness. The prevalence of health, the
fulness of the haryosts, the stability OF
peace and order the growth of fraternal
feeling, the spread of intelligence and
learning, the continued enjoyment of
civil and religious lberty-all these and
countless other blessings are cause for re-
weren't rejoicing. do, therefore, recon-
mend that on the day above appointed
the people rest from their accustomed
labors, and meeting in their several places
of worship, express their devout gratitude
to God that He hath dealt so bountifully
with this Nation, and pray that His grace
and favor abide with it forever

No Brass BAND.-Tbe will of the
late w. j. Fl Branch, of Phillipsburg,
provided that his executors should pur-
chase burial plot and erect monu-
ment for the testator's and also set aside
$40, 600 for the establishment and main
tenance of brass band, which was 10
march to testator, grave on the annual
recurrence of the day of his death, and
there to play dirges, and also to play on
national and other holidays. About a
year ago Colonel Robertson, who drew the
will, filed bill in the Court of Chancery
! to have that Court construe that portion
of the will and establish its validity.
The Chancellor has held that part for the
purchase and erection Of monument as
valid, but that part relating to the brass
band he held to be invalid. DR.. Branch
will thus have monument if there j;
money enough but no brass band tc
march to his grave and blow their strains
after his departed spirit.

aHe struck Me Firnt },

A story illustrative of the craze in Chicago
for entering the plea Of self-defence: Three
men quarreled in room above saloon
when one of them fell dead from heart dis
ease. The others were fearful that they
would be charged with murder, SO one went
10 the saloon and enticed the bartender out
while the others carried the corpse down and
placed it in chair with its head ON table
rs If sleeping off a drunk. When the bar
tender returned the two men took drink,
saying the drunken man in the chair would
pay for it, and went away. The bartender
soon shook his customer and demanded his
pay. The corpse fell over on the floor, and
as the bartender stood trembling with fear
the two men returned with an officer. The
bartender, anticipating his arrest quickly
said. q He struck me first. Robert Lin

SALARIES HERE AND IN ENGLAND.


A correspondent of the Washington Re
publ, says:
"Of course any Congressman who is
hunting quarters for the coming long
session thinks that the United States
Government does not pay money enough ia
Its officers. It does really seem so. No
ecSlntry in the world pays its civil officers
so badly. Take England, for example
England pays nothing to the members q
the Lower House of Congress, which every
intelligent person knows is wrong. But
England makes up in other ways. Let NJ
look into the subject for u moment We
pay our Minister to France $17 800. Eng.
land pays her Minister to France $50, 900,
and gives him palace to live in. We pay
our Minister to England SIT 800. England
pays her Minister to Washington $50, 900 a
year, gives him n great mansion, fully
equipped and furnished, and S6,000a year
for entertainments England even pays
her Minister to Persia $25, 900 year and
gives him palace. She even pays her
representative to the beggarly court OF
Greece more than we pay our highest Off
GERS. We pay our Chief Justice $l0,500 u
year and our Associate Justices $4,000.
We are just now making lmuch of Chief
Justice Coleridge. How much, dear reader,
do you think he gets year in the way OF
salary Forty thousand dollars The
other eight Judges of his Court get $25, 900
a year each. Even the English Consul at

like SIT, 200 year General Wolseley gets
about $4,000. The Clerk of the House Of
Representatives receives, believe, $4, 900
year. The Clerk of the lower House OF
Parliament in England receives about $2l,-
600 year. All this, mind you, in a small
er country than ours, poorer country than
ours, aud with less population than ours.
Shall we 60 fartherp The Queen of Eng
land, for herself alone, receives every year
from the English government over three
millions of dollars This is for life. Our
President, with as great power as hers,
receives $4,000 year for four years.
One of the Queens yachts, the Victoria and
Albert, costs every year more than We pay
our President, and she has four or five
yachts. The figures, my masters, are worth
remembering. The Prince of Wales draws
every year 5000, 900 from the English
treasury And still he owes half the aristo-
cratic tradesmen in London money he can.

AS rule, farmers make too little use
of milk. Sweet skinned milk is the very
best beverage for them and their children,
and If warmed and slipped gradually is, as
stated by the Record, both nutrition and
agreeable. This we know from long dali
" habit, and skinned milk we know to
be better than whole milk in this respect.
To avoid any possible i'll effects from over
loading the stomach with 1t, permitting
it to curdle in mass, it is well to sip it
slowly, and also to eat few morsels of
dry bread or soda biscuit with glass
of it. Taken in this way, instead of any
other supper, it will very effectively re-
move an attack of biliousness.
The Medical Record, high authority,
| speaks of the effects of hot milk as fol
lows:
mo one who, fatigued by over exer
ton of body and mind, has ever expert
enced the reviving influence of tumble
of this beverage, heated as hot as it car
be slipped, will willingly forego resor
to it because of its being rendered some
what less acceptable to the palate. Th
promptness with which its cordial infiu
ence is felt is indeed surprising. Som
portion of it seems to be digested and ap
propriated almost Immediately, and man!
who now fancy they nsed alcoholic slim
nlants when exhausted by fatigue will
find in this simple draught an equivalen
that will be abundantly satisfying and ia
more enduring in its effects. =

The discovery was recently made that
the Egyptians in their stone cutting nsed
tools equivalent to our diamond drills and
diamond saws. The hollow drill for re-
moving core was also employed. The
Indians of this country were not inferior
to the Egyptians in this matter. One of
their common decorations was stone
breast plate nicely fashioned and drilled
through by means Of hollow reed and
the use of sand and water. Very perfect
specimens of this kind of work with holes
two inches or more in length have been
found in New Jersey within dozen
miles of Philadelphia and along with
them some broken fragraments showing
the core not yet removed. That reeds
were used for the boring tools is shown,
it is said, by the remains found in some
unfinished pieces of work. The Indians
of this country were remarkable in gen.
ius and skillful In working stone.
