Powerful in Prayer.

Zone of the most remarkable and
original prayers l ever heard, 'said a gen.
tleman to Herald reporter, "was just
after the war closed, and was taking
run down through Georgia in hope Of
finding a desirable cotton plantation.
One bright summer night found me at
the cabin of an old negro who had once
been a slave, but who located on the old
plantation after the war, and was his own
master. He gladly welcomed me to his
humble abode, and to such bed and
board as he could provide.
Supper over, and most excellent one,
too, the old man RECALLED me with stories
of plantation life, until his son, a good
chunk of boy, came home from a
neighbours. Before retiring, the old man
asked me TO read a chapter in the Bible,
when he would pray. He said he couldn't
read, but was powerful in exhortin' and
prayer. After reading chapter from
Job and part of Psalm, we knelt down,
and the sable brother let his soul flow
out to God He prayed for the Presi-
dent of the United States, all his cabi-
net, the army, the navy, the governors
of all the States, for me, his guest, for
his nelghbors, Tor absent chlldren, tol
himself and family. He asked forgive
ness for many sins and thanked the Lord
for many blessings.
"Weil, began to get tired. l had
rested my knees the best could, but
wanted to get up badly, and, at the same
time, did not want to give offense to my
kind host. The boy Teclined next to me,
with his head in the chair, sound asleep.
Touching him gently, whispered {;
About how soon will your father get
through?' Has he got to the place
whar Moses crossed de Red seap Being
assured that said point had not yet been
reached, the boy yawned and continued :
well, when he gets to whar Moses
crossed the Red sea- he's jist half done,
and he relapsed into unconsciousness. -

HEALTH HINTS.

1t is said yellow dock, root or leaves,
stepped in vinegar, will cure the worst
case of ringworm.
Linseed poultice: Take four ounces of
powdered linseed and gradually sprinkle
i. into a half pint of hot water.
When putting glycerine on chapped
hands first wash them thoroughly in
soap and water, and when not quite dry
rub in the glycerine This process will
be found much better than the old one.
To make bread poultice take stale
bread crumbs pour over them boiling
water and boil till soft, stirring well
take from the fire and gradually stir in a
little glycerine or sweet oil, so as to rem
der the poultice pliable when applied.
Oil of wintergreen, mixed with an
equal quantity of olive oil, when applied
externally to iniamed joints affected by
acute rheumatism, is maintained to be,
on high therapeutic authority, means of
instant relief from pain. At any rate, its
introduction to the sick chamber is un-
Objectionable. if only for the agreeable
odor it imparts to the atmosphere.

The GAY Head Indians.

The Gay Head Indians inhabit the
recently Incorporated town of Gay Head
on the westerly end of the County of
Dukes, Mass, which embraces the whole Of
the island of Martha's Vineyard. This In.
dian town has an area of about 2,400
acres. which is divided into three penin-
sulas, Nashaquitsa Squiqnocket and Gay
Head. This town is nearly severed
from the rest of the island by Menem.
sha pond. At the present time there are
about 200 Indians at Gay Head, and un.
like many other remnants of Indian
tribes in the Commonwealth, they have
for a few years past been gradually in.
creasing in numbers. There are about
fifty families, and the people here have
been marked through a series of years
for seeking more profitable sources of in.
come than their isolated situation natural.
ly afforded, and some of them have
achieved some distinction as efficient
masters of vessels. The morals, educa.
tion and marked indications of civilized
advancement among them are so strlk-
ing that they attract attention among
those who chance to visit their seques-
tered island home.
If there is a spot in all New England
where a recluse might wish to find per-
petual repose, free from the troubles and
anxieties of life, Gay Head is the place,
and yet the Gay Headers are quite jealous
of the influences and approaches of for
eigners, having had good deal of trouble
with those who have married some OF
their daughters and settled among them.
Formerly any member of this tribe at
Gay Head could take up, fence in and
improve as much of the land as he pleased,
and when inclosed it became his own. 1t
might very naturally be inferred that such
state of things would engender many
disputes and quarrels, but such was not
the case. Such state of things was q
kind of Emporium in imperio, " not con-
Quoted by any code of laws except bone
and muscle of those taking up the land.

the red, white and black races, and there
is, too, some Southern blood among them,

them, to wit: John Randolph, Madison.
Corsa, Silvia and Tanderhoop. Through
the intermarrying and the coming in Of
foreigners it has almost pushed out the
purely Indian names They are, on the
whole, a moral, frugal, industrious and
temperate people, and are quite equal in
these respects to white people, with simi,

An Engraver's Block.

As the lines in good wood-engravins
have to be very thin, it becomes very
necessary that the wood should be OF
a firm and strong fiber that will not break,
OF split. or crumble easily. And,
indeed, the wood used for engraving is
one of the hardest known. 1t is box
wood, and is obtained almost exclusively
from Turkey and Asia Minor. The grain OF
lockwood is exceedingly close and smooth
and engravers' blocks consist of slices
each about an inch thick and usually from
two to four inches square, cut across the
grain of the tree. The boX-tree does moi
grow to any considerable size, and when
large block is desired it has to be made
by screwing and glueing a number of small
blocks very tightly and securely. II
is said that it would take more than one
hundred years for a box-tree TO grow
large enough to furnish a block in one
piece of size sufficient to include the
whole of the engraving, "a MidwinteI
Night" which forms the frontispiece OF
81. Nichols. That picture is in reality
engraved upon nine blocks of lockwood,
closely Joined together st. Nicholas,

Jay Gould Outwitted by Journalist.

Jay Gould was never fairly outwitted
by reporter but once, and the excep-
tional incident occurred at the time
Gould was in Denver after having just
purchased the Kansas Pacific railroad.
The financial world was agog for infor-
nation as to Gould's intentions and
plans, and the Denver newspaper offices
were overwhelmed with kilograms from
Eastern dailies asking for special dis
patches regarding the railroad magnate
and his movements. Mr.. Fred Skiff,
who is now manager of the Denver
Tribune, was at that time city editor OF
the paper, and he detailed three of his
best reporters to get at Gould and in
terview him by hook or by crook.
About 8 o'clock at night these reporters
showed up with the information that
Gould could not be seen; that his SEN
tinels were posted all along the hall
leading to his rooms in the Grand Central
hotel, and it was impossible to run the
gauntlet of these wary creatures. Per-
haps with view to showing his subordi-
mates what genuine enterprise could ac-
complish, Skiff announced that he
would secure access to Gould's apart
ment, and would literally beard the lion
In his den. Accordingly, he hustled
around, borrowed a Pullman car con-
ductor's coat and cap, and stalked bold
ly into the Grand Central. "Look
ahere," said he to the first sentinel he
met, "what does Mr.. Gould propose
to do about that car2 l must know
right away, for if he isn't going
to use it to morrow, I've got to take it
back to Chicago. The sentry knew moth
ing about the car, of course, and ad-
vised Skiff to see Gould about it him
self. So Skiff successfully ran the gaunt-
let of the half-dozen lackeys, growing
all the time about the bother of being
compelled to attend to other peoples
business. Judge Usher, one of Gould's
attorneys, was in consultation with
Gould when the bogus sleeping-car con-
ductor was shown in. He Immediately
recognized Skiff, having known him
back in Kansas. ''When did you get
out of the newspaper business" in
quired the astonished lawyer. 81
amt out of it, replied Skiff,
"but 1 had to put on this disguise in
order to get in here to interview Mr..
Gould" "Young man." said Mr.. Gould
sternly, eff you're reporter you car
take yourself right out of the room, for
am not to be interviewed" Skiff argued
the point, and, not being invited to bC
seated, coolly sat down on the floor
"Unless you put me out" said he, 81
shall stay here till you tel
ne what your plans are" Th'
audacity rather pleased Gould
He looked at Usher, and, see
ing that party chuckling heartily, HI
broke out into hearty laugh. Well
what do you want to know z" he asked
finally, in the tone of man who i
weary with objecting. Skiff knew hi
had triumphed. He produced his note
book, drew up to the table at whicl
Gould sat, and set industriously at worl
plying questions and noting the replies
The result was a reliable forecast of tn
immense railroad enterprise in whicl
Gould subsequently embarked, and o
which the public would not have beel
forewarned but for the audacity and wi
of the dauntless Skiff.- Chicago Dali

An Overwhelming Compliment.

A young gentleman anxious to learn to
sing, went up into the garret one Sun
day night about bedtime, and resolutely
commenced his exercises with his Psalm
book. He had been singing but a short
tleman, stole out of his bedroom, with
his night cap on, and on reaching the foot
of the stairs, mildly inquired:
"James ~
No answer. James was very busy with
his exercises.
"James ~
"Sir 2"
'Have you heard very peculiar noise,
JameS2"
''No, sir; nothing"
ooh - all thought - but never
mind"
The old gentleman walked back to his
room, muttering indistinctly.
Presently James resumed his exercises,
and was getting on famously, as he
thought, when his parent, like the ghost
of Hamlet's father, again came forth, ex-
claiming:
'Jamesm
"Sirn
"Are you sure that Bose is chained
up3"
Eyes, sir; l attended to it myself"
Every well, very we'll no matter"
Once more he returned to his room.
Wondering what his father meant by
inquiring after the house dog, Bose,
James was silent for minute, but soon
returned to his exercises more vigorously
than ever. Again, however, he was in
terrupted by the voice of his parent,
shouting
'Jamesl"
"Sirn
81 am sure Bose is loose"
'It can't be possible, sir"
''He is tell you"
"What makes you think so, sirl"
''Why, for this last half hour have
heard something that sounded very
much as if that dog was worrying the
caT.-~
James never resumed his exercises
after that overwhelming compliment
