Mr.. Polk, when he became president, tc
satisfy the nuIlifiers of the south and Mr..
Tyler, consented to sacrifice Mr.. Blair, tho
fast friend OF Gen. jackson, and blot out his
name from the head of Tho Globe newspaper,
aud substitute another name more acceptable
to the ~malcoulents, as his Official organ. 1t
was proposed, however, that MIR. Blair should
still contribute to the editorial columns of that
print, and "brilllant offers were held out
TO him TO write sub rosa; but this Mr.. Blair
refused to do. Tho fame which hr had en-
joyed during the palmy days Of Jackson and
Van Buren,, and his general reputation rs a
writer and Il full member Of the kitchen cabi-
net, and Il welcomed visitor to that OF the
pnrlor, was still green in his memory, but
he was not 50 verdant as to write up an adj
ministration which had just put him down.
He would not consent to the proposed ar
rangement.
Anon, President Polk himself and Mr.. BAN
croft, n member of his council, drove out to
Silver Spring, the residence of the executor,
to induce him to write articles for The Globe,
but not to ave his name mentioned in print
in that connection. They who have seen Mr..
Blair arc aware that he is not a Joseph or IN
Absalom for beauty, and when the dis.
tingunshed visitors were pressing him to do as
they 80 earnestly desired, he said to President
Polk: al know, sir, that l am not hand.
some, but ugly as my face is, l nave no desire
to hide it from the public" And why should
hei 1t had long been at the head Of The
Globe. By way of making amends to MIR.
Blair, with a view of pacifying the old war
horse of the Hermitage, who "novor deserted
n friend from policy" Mr.. Polk offered the
executor a full foreign mission, but this Mr..
Blair refused, on tho ground that it was hard
enough to ba driven from The GLOBE" with

Gen. ncCook on the Indians.

lANc" ioIh oIlu
Gen. Joseph McCook, the dark-browed
warrior of Colorado, is relating one Of his
western experiences, which, he observes,
taught him the inadv stability Of too much
freshness. "About a year ago, y says he, II
had a long journey to take through the
widest part of Arizona. The country was
full Of Apaches who were going about in
small bands stealing anything they could lay
hands ON and doing whatever they could in a
general way to make things enthusiastic for
Travellers That is to say l heard a good
deal about these Apaches, but as l didn't see
any OF them l thought it was simply a case of
scare. My driver was n quiet Californian
who didn't say much, but ran the expedition
to suit himself. Every night when it came
time to make camp he would turn
off at right angles with the road
and drive for a couple Of miles
in that direction before unhitching
the horses. l kicked about it OF course.
l said it was a useless expenditure OF time.
Besides it isn't funny to ride over a perfectly
unbroken country. 1t is too much like being
chucked up in a blanket. But the more l
swore the less attention the driver paid to
me. Well, one morning when we struck
back into the trail we found a place where
there had been a camp the night before.
There had also been a fight with the Indians.
L never set eyes on such a horrible sight. The
whole party OF white people had been killed
and fearfully mutilated. All OF them were
scalped, and some of the bodies were dismem-
bered. and one of the women was disem-
boweled. The st ok bad been run off aud
the wagons ransacked. Those people had
camped alongside the trail, and the Indians,
who were on the lookout for such parties,
had found them. My driver didn't get any
more Of my views about camping. He could
have driven to the gulf Of Mexico after that
il he had wanted to-"
"What do you think about the IndiansP'
well, l have noticed that every one who
has lived among them expresses just one
theory about the Indian question, and that
theory is very much in favor of feeding them
exclusively on Paris green. 1t is we'll enough
to sit down here in the east and theoriss
about their wrongs aud their b~enighted con-
dition. But any crowd that habitually
butchers its enemies ld cuts up dead women
ought 10 he handled with something a little
harder than u seamless kid glove. II they
are in such a state of darkness as folks say, 1
would suggest letting daylight into 'em."

Joshua II. speeds ftecollections.J
II have often been asked What were Mr..
Lincoln's religious opinions. When ] know
him in early life he was a skeptic. He had
tried hard 10 be q believer, but his reason
could not grasp and solve the great problem
OF redemption as taught. He was very
cautious never to give expression to amy
thought or sentiment that would CRATE
harshly upon u Christians ear. For n sin
cero Christian no had great respect He
often said that the most ambitious man
might live to sec every hope fail, but no
Christian could live to SEQ his fail, be-
cause fuIhllment could only come when life
snded. But hat was u subject we
never discussed. The only evidences /
have of any change was in the summer be-
fore he was killed. l was invited out to tho
Soldiers Home to spend the night As !
entered the room, near night, he was sitting
near n window intensely reading his Bible.
Approaching him l said: 4 am so glad to
see you so proftably engaged Yes said
he, L am prohtably engaged Well said l.
II you nave recovered from your skepticism,
| am sorry TO say that l awe not Looking
me earnestly in tho face, and placing his
hand on my shoulder, he said; You are

A party of ladies and gentlemen sat
around a table on tho night of Shrove Tues
day. With merry expectancy in their faces,
each dipped into a large bowl as it was passed
before them, and then carefully examined
tho contents Of the spoon. "No, / didn't get
1t" said each unsuccessful one as the bowl
passed slowly around. "But the doctor did ~
suddenly exclaimed a voice. aud all eyes
turned toward DR.. Dunn, a Young bachelor
of this city, who proudly held between his
fingers a plain gold ring. "Ahi l felt sure
it would fall to you, DOCTOR said a friend
1and now you can depend upon it we will all
watch you closely in the future, to note the
powers of the talismnnic symbol. II you are
not married in six months there is no virtue
in colcannon." . az
The occasion was a "~colcannon" party, a
popular Irish method of celebrating Shrove
Tuesday, given by Mr.. N. F. Collins, on
Webster avenue. "Colcannon" Is a mixture
Of potatoes, cabbage and cream. and 1t is dis
tnetively an Irish dish, In a bowl of it a
plain gold wedding-ring Is hidden. Each
guest takes a small portion as it is passed
around, and the one who gets the ring is sup
posed, according to tradition, to be the first
to fall q victim to Cupid's dart, fall in love
and marry, What Is to happen, should one
already married get the ring, the traditions
of the custom say not Perhaps it means d.
vorce, an apt sequence TO those who fall In
love after marriage.
The custom prevails in Scotland, where a
ring Is placed in a shortcake; and in Eng
land, where the day is known as pancake
Tuesday" the hoop Of gold is secreted in one
OF q heaping dish OF pancakes.

HOW TO TRAIN THE BOYS
High Mental Rank Worthless wheL
Taken Mt the Expense OF Physique.

lDr. Sargent, of Harvard Gymnasium.
Our schools treat a boy as professional
trainers treat n man on the field; the only
idea Is to make the boy win n certain prize.
They do not care anything nbout his health;
that is nothing to them. Their reputation Is
made upon the success Of his entrance into
college. Here | have to step in and say to
tho father: "rhis boy must not go any
farther. His future prospects ought not to
be sacrificed in this way. Your sons success
in life does not depend oil his going through
tho Latin school. Let him step out and take
another year. Do not attempt TO crowd
him" The result Of this lack of attention to
physical training. even looking Mt it from
the intellectual standpoint is fatal.
Tho parents must be educated. The father
and mother must DO converted to tho neces-
Sty, the absolute necessity for success in life,
Of physical culture. There are plenty of
men who stand as political and financial
leaders who are not highly educated men. A
man who has the rudiments of education-
reading. writing, arithmetic-with a good
physique, good health, a well balanced and
rganized Frame, brought into contact with
the world, stands a better chance of success
than the ono who goes through school and
takes a high rank at the expense of his
physique.
The object OF education is to develop the
boy, not 70 put MIN through so mucn or
arithmetic or so much language. The object
is to get out of tho boy all there is in him.
The first thing, then. is to have the boy OK
amincd. II, instead Of calling n physician
when the children are sick, no was called
while they are well, 1t would be much better.
Is no getting round-shouldoredl Has he a
crook in the backl Is he beginning to stoopi
There are many things which can be stopped
in a CHILD which eau never DO changed after the
habits are hardened. Too lato the parent
may find that his child is incapacitated for
tho highest education because there is no
room for the heart and lungs to play their
parts. The boy is limited in his possibilities
as u tree planted in u~nfavorablO soil is linn
it'd. He is stunted. He will reach a certain
limit, and no efforts on his part will carry
him further. But II no had been taken in
hand in time, and these suggestions acted
upon, different results might have been pro
duced. These efforts to develop the boys
body will awaken tho interest OF tho boy
himself. 1t does not awaken animalism.
Let u man have pride In his body, and his
morals will look out for themselves

ton that he should have two weeks monop-
oily Of them. Irhe difficulty with a Joke"
he said a few nights ago, "s that as soon as
it is told it becomes public property. The
demand for good things at the clubs, at din

a new story travels all around. Every joke,
IL passable, secures a wide circnlAtion."

In Case Of Accident.

-
Bruises frequently follow falls and
blows with stones and missiles, or may
BE- quite serious In their nature, even
though the outer skin may not be
broken. The swelling which usually
follows u bruise sometimes conceals n
fracture or a severe in. ury TO the soft
tissues. The immediate application Of
cold water, ice or some cy%aporating To-
ton, such MS water Of ammonia, cam
phor. weak tincturc OF arrica. etc, is
the best treatment for allcv ating pain
aud Fastening the absorption Of tho
eflused blood. In an e when nearly
everything is done by machinery acct
dents from this source are OF frequent
occurrence. Fingers may be cut oil,
limbs crushed, skin aud muscles torn.
etc., rendering immediate aid necessary
TO prevent the person from bleeding to
death. In case Of hemorrhage from
any limb or part, after tho bleeding
has been arrested apply clean
linen or cotton pads wet with cold
water and bandage lightly TO support
the wounded limb or muscle. Tho
flashing Of loose powder. the explosion
Of fireworks, the bursting Of powder
TASKS. guns aud small cannon. give rise
10 accidents more or less serious. In
many cases the treatment Of such in uries
differs little from that Of ordinary burns.
except where powder has been blown
into the face, when nm effort should 10
made to remove IL. In case Of hemar-
rhnge, stoplt ms soon n possible by
mean Of cold applications, ligatures,
baDdages, etc. a. previously directed.
II fingers or limbs have been blown oil,
draw the surrounding tissues together.
and cover the wound with linen or cot
ton cloth saturated with clean water.
In ease Of gun hot wounds the tIcat-
ment depends upon the extent Of tho
injury. Arihc bullet, n charge Of shot
or blank cartridge Will produce differ
cnt effects, depending upon the distance
from which they were fired. At short
range the bullet and shot make a similar
wound; ut u longer distance the shot
scattcrs and makes several small
wounds. When fired nj n short range.
n blank cartridge makes the ugliest
kind Of wound. because both the wad.
ding and powder enter the flesh and
tear up large surfaces. Where a bullet.
shot or some waddlng and powder has
entered tho body Il Il necessary
that Il should be extracted. But
this Is n task that had better be left
TO the physician. The immediate treat
ment Of gunshot wounds. however,
