AN INDIAN DELICAUY.
A Feat of Cookery tat Astonished Civ

"The Indians scattered along the foot
hills of the Sierra" says Nevada cor
respondent care quiet, inottensive pco-
pie. They do not appear to be governed
by any tribal laws, yet adhere to many
of their old traditions. The tide of in
dustry and civilization sweeping over and
around has left them greatly modified by
the contact, and although they retain the
original characteristics of the race, in
some respects they have much improved.
One or two men of superior ability and
| industry form a nucleus around which
others less ambitious gather. Here they
fence with brush and logs tract suf-
ficient for their requirements OF haymak-
ing, paSturage. &c. They invariably
build their cabins upon the most slightly
point, even when the spring that furnish
es their water is halfway down the hill

Fi"m Mc st. LoHiS Spectator.
During the siege of Nicksburg the
wife of Confederate soldier was living
with her parents in the interior of Miss
issippi. One night she had vision in
which she saw the Qualifications in which
her husband was on duty. In front was
an earthwork, where the men were pro-
tected from the fire of the enemy, but in
exposed to bullets. She saw her huS-
band attempt to pass over this small
eminence, saw him fall, and saw his COM
panions carry him to an unexposed posi-
ton, and there he died. She saw the
preparations for burial, the coffin i'll
which he was laid, distinctly noticed the
knots and marks upon its unplaned lid,
and all the sad details connected with
his burial. The vision made such an i'm
preston upon her mind that she related
the story to her family, and her fathe:
wrote down all the particulars as she saw
them. She had not been in Nicksburg
since it was invested, and consequently
knew nothing OF the situation of the
works. and had received no letters from
her husband from the time the Federal
forces closed around it. Several weeks
aftcrward Nicksburg surrendered and
the Confederates were parolcd and re-
turned to their homes. y young soldier,
a friend of the other soldier, came home
and brought the news of his death and
every incident connected with his taking

stances of his interment to the minutost

wife as recorded by her father.

In England there is a society for Psy.

as Balfour Stewart, Arthur Balfour
Prof. Barrett, Edmund Quincy, Prof.
Henry Sidgwick, Archbishop Trench
and many other distinguished names in
science, and letters. The society was
formed two years ugo, for the purpose
OF demonstrating certain alleged occult
phenomena, such as "mind-reading,
clairvoyance, table-tippiugs apparitions,
haunted houses" etc., which, in their
articles of association, they say "are de-
clsred to exist by many respectable and
competent people. The last report Just
published, in addition to details sums
up the results so far, and gives the con-
conclusion of the society upon the gen.
eral question, which is in these words:
'That after two years of the most care
ful research and experiment, they have
reached the conclusion that there is q
formidable array of evidence in favor
OF the beliefs indicated above-beliefs
which have hitherto been regarded by

THE FIELD REVIEWED

From the Pioneer Press Of Thursday morning.
The result of Tuesdays election is still in
considerable doubt New York is the pivotal
state, and on the result there the in
terest centers. TIL latest returns re-.
ceived this morning before going to press
show that, whichever way it goes, it will be
BY remarkably small majority. Chairman
Jones, of the Republican national commit
tee.claims the state very positively by good
majority, and is supported by ex-Gov.
Cornell, who estimates 1000 plurality.
Charles E. Smith. of the Philadelphia Press,
and one OF the best-posted men on
New York politics claims !, 500 majority. On
the other hand, the New York Times has re-
duced it's estimates to 3,125 plurality for
Cleveland, and the Democratic man
ayers are positiue in their assertions
of victory: New Jersey and Connecticut are
conceded Democratic. Indiana is still very
doubtful, and steady reports Of Republican
gains indicate reasonable grounds for hope
Michigan is also among the uncertain, it be-
ing feared that the fusion ticket will be sue
cessful In Virginia tho result has not been
decided yet Malone positively claims a
Republican majority, while the Democrats
are equally positive to the contrary. The
probabilities point, however, to a
Democratic victory in that state
by a reduced majority. Since yes
terday West Virginia has also
taken her place among the doubtful states,
and there now seems to he more than a good
chance Of small Republican majority:
Nevada is yet to be heard from. As it now
stands. Blaine has 169 electoral votes.
Cleveland 1852, and 20 are in doubt The
returns show large gains of Republican con-
gressmen.

Now that the election is over there
will not be much demand for political
reading of a portisan character. Not
that people will cease to take interest
in the officers of government-for that
would be misfortune-but the consid.
Grafton of public questions will be less
connected with personal issues, which
are so apt to absorb everything during
long and heated presidential cam
paign. Winter is season of INTEL
lectual activity, and he who is no wiser
and not better informed on the advent
of spring than at the beginning of win
ter, must have neglected opportunities
tor reading and acquiring information.

An English writer gives some much
needed advice as to the times and fire.
quency of meals. In his opinion the
present usual practice of three meals a
day has good reason, as we'll as custom,
in its favor. When work of any kind
is being done, whether mental or
bodily, the intervals between taking
food should not be so long as to entail
demands on the system when its store
for the generation of force is exhausted.
An ordinary full meal, in the case of .
healthy man, is generally consider ed
to have been completely digested and
to have passed cut of the stomach in
four hours. A period of rest should
then be granted to the stomach. As
Stunning that two hours are allowed for
this, the interval between one meal and
another wonld be six hours; and this
accords with the experience of most
men. During rest and sleep there is less
waste going on, and especially during
sleep there IS greatly diminished sctiv-
ity of all the functions of the
body. The interval. therefore, between
the last meal of one day and the first of
the next may be longer, as it generally
is, than between the several day meals
Assuming that breakfast be taken
about 4 or 9 O'Clock, there should be
midday meal about or 2. The char
aoter of this must depend on the nature
of the days occupation and the con-
venience Of the individual With wom-
en- and children this is generally their
hungry time, and the mid -day repsst,
whether called luncheon or dinner, is,
the chief meal. So it is with the mid
die and laboring classes, for the most
part. But for merchants, professional
men and others, whose occupations take
them from home all the day, this is in
convenient, and moreover, it is not
found conductive to health or comfort
to take full meal in the midst of the
days work. There Can, however, be
no doubt that much evil arises from at
tempting to go through the day with
out food, and then with exhausted pow
ers sitting down to q hearty meal.
Something of light, easily digostible.
but sustaining character, should be tax
