Daniel B0onc's WhfsEev.

During n conversation with an old gen.
tleman the other day. and while relating ac-
counts of old times, he told an incident in
the life of Daniel Boone, the famous explo-
rer of Kentucky, which probably has here
tofore been unpublished. lie said that
when Daniel Boone and his party were sur
yeying the dark and bloody ground" they
heard the Indians, and as they were on the
war path, they began to devise means to es-
cape death. They had made two chops on
a tree for n line. Daniel had quart OF
wbiskey and he said: 1--WE must do some
thing with the whiskey, or the Indians may
catch us and ge. drunk and kill US all."-
The last tree that was chopped had a hollow
near A fork. and Daniel Boone put quart
of whiskey in the hollow. Forty years had
passed. and the question came up about that
spot and Daniel told them that they could
tell BY quart Of whiskey in the tree
The tree was found, but had grown large
and the hollow had grown up, but old man
Boone said, "cut it down and the quart OF
vhiskey could be found, and the question
would be settled whether that was the spot
in DISPUTE" The tree was felled and split
omen and the bottle found, but the whlskey
had gsne-had evsporated III the forty
years time, it is supposed.

of the most reputable physicians in the two
cities lPittsburg and Allegheny, to whom
she had paid large sums OF money ior treat

then taken to the most reputable physicians
and surgeons in New York, but with no
better success. They had all pronounced II
cancer, aud declared she must die Inc
flesh of her breast was eaten away down 70

From the edition Of Messrs. Geo. z. Row
ell & Co.'S American Newspaper Directory,
now in press, it appears that the newspapers
and periodicals of all kinds atpresentl issued
in the United States and Canada reach a
grand total of 3,4O2. This is net gain OF
precisely 1000 during the last twelve
months. and exhibits an increase of 5,ols
over the total number published just ten
wears since. The increase in 1874 over the
total for 1873 was 493. During the past
wear the dailies have increased from l,iSo
to .254; the weeklies from 9O62 10 lo'oZo;
and the monthlies from l,091 to ,499. The
greatest increase is in the Western States.
Illinois. for instance, now shows ,0o9 papers
in place Of last years total of 9o4, while
Missouri issues Goa instead of the o25 re-
ported in 1888. Other leading Western
States also exhibit great percentage OF the
increase. The total number of papers In
New York State is ,523, against l,399 IN
1888. Canada has shared in the general IN

To which he replied:
Madam, l think nobody will take

To which he replied:
"Sir, if that be your objection

The lady accordingly addressed
herself,to the eldest daughter, telling
