was this desire that took him, when
so young, to the lecturing field"

Mr.. Reeder, Influenced either by
spiril accommodation or desire to
see his questioner somewhere else,
pointed out the building. The re-
porter followed the directions, and.
found the historic old house at the
corner of Main and Chilicothe streets.
1t is a substantial frame, looking con-
siderably better for recent coat Of
paint, and bearing few traces of its
extreme age. In the SECOND story
the immortal humorist worked at the
case, and dreamed perhaps Of his fu-
ture fame. He was known then on
ly as witty fellow, a genial
companion and generous friend,
At this time he was just twen-
ty-one. Two-thirds of his life
had passed away, and he had yet to
make his fortune. But from this time
his star was in the ascendant. lie en-
tered upon his duties an editor,
and his rise was swift and sppe.
He continued in this sphere until
the lecture field opened for him a
wider reputation and better emolu-
ment. AS wit his humor was
distinctivcly American. His
manner went far toward this end, and
while possessing vast powers Of sar.
casm and irony, his shafts were 80
barbcd that in his whole life he never
made All enemy. During the stormy
years Of the civil war, his pen was ac-
tive in support Of the union-shown
particularly in his interview with
Jefferson Davis and his picture Of
Richmond after the evacuation. His
powers were the gift of nature, rec
Giving no cultivation except what the
occurrences of ordinary life afforded.
Browne died at thj carly age Cf
thirty-one, while on tour through
England. The remains were brought
across the Atlantic and laid beSi dc
those Of his father. Ills works have
taken their place among tae impcrsh-
able offspring OF genius, and will
continue to leave their impress upon
the humorous productions of his sue
cessors. Rising from more compos-
itor at the case to the forefront OF
American humorists, it is but natural

81 don't want a murderer around

bad boy, as he came in the door with
a military uniform on, and saluted
the groceryman previous to helping
himself to some fruit, 81 understood
you have been the means of nearly
killing your father, that you run a
bayonet through him, and scared
him half to death. What on earth
did you mean ?" and the groceryman
got behind the cheese-boX and took
up knife to defend himself in case
the little soldier attempted to injure
him. "Next thing you will enlist as
a cannibal in the navy, and go to
eating people,"
"Oh, don't be afraid" said the bad
boy. "Nobody would eat you unless
you was put to soak for a few months.
Pa is all right. He was little

take the gun away from him, and
take him across his knee, and maui
the military spirit all out of him,

"Not much he didn't do it, said the

years old his parents removed to Ge-

In 1851 he was elected County Judge

lican party. lie was elected to the
New York Senate in 1861 and served

Fashion.Hin from Peterson's
Magazine for October.

Black, in all materials, continues
to be much worn, even for full-dress.
There is no special change in style
OF making dresses: pointed waists,
short on the hips, jackets with waist
coat-fronts, short round jackets, and
round waists with belts, are all fash
ionable.
TUNES are worn both long and
short, though the latter are perhaps
the more fashionable.
Sleeves are still slightly gathered
into the arm-holes; but they do not
stand up quite as high as they did.
Woolen will be principally used
for walking and outdoors dresses,
this fall: silk and velvet being re-
served for more ccremonious occasion.
Hats are generally worn high in
the crown and with narrow brims
we record this as the fashion, but we
think it unbecoming.
Bonnets have decided tendency
to a peak in front, and this peak is
high enough to admit of flower or
a bow of ribbon beneath it: the Ions
poke-bonnet is now used principally
for morning wear.
Corsagcs, of black, sapphire, oil
ruby velvet, or of Sicilienne in TIN
same hues, are now worn with skirt
of cream-white and considered YER,
stylish.
Velvet is extensively used for trim
ming, this fall that is to say, velve

in very wide bands.

Reports of failures are still numerous,
and some of them of great magnitude,
but the general outlook is by no means
discouraging. In nearly every proml-
nent case, liabilities are so far in excess
Of assets, as to cause wonder why a
failure did not sooner occur. A failure
sooner or later, wa inevitable. The
craze for doing a large business on
small capital, and dependence on I'M
limited eredit-which is apt to fail at
Just the time when most wanted-is at
the bottom of nearly all the most dis

General Wolseley ofthe British army,
has arrived in Egypt to take command
Of the military expedition up the Nile
for the relief Of Khartoum, and it has
been alleged that his Red river expe-
dition in 1870, when he subdued the
Winnipeg rebellion, gave him the ex-
perience necessary to success in Egypt.
General Wolseley's Red river expedition
consisted Of four companies Of British
regular soldiers, who were transported
to Thunder Bay, at the head Of Lake
Superior, In excellent steamboats,.
Their march from there to Winnipeg
was along a fertile country, with good
trails for part Of the distance, and nav.
igable lakes and easy portages for the
rest of the way. The march lasted but
twenty or twenty-five days; supplies
were easily carried; they met no resist
ance; the entire hostile force against
which the expedition was directed con.
sisted Of but a few hundred French and
Indian ~half-breeds under the command
Of Louis Riel, 4 mere boy in years, and
but little better than o crank in other
respects; they all fiodat the approach Of
the little British force. General Wolse-

General Crook was severely criticised
some months ago for demanding that
his agreement with the rebellious
Apache Indians be complied with, he
assuring the Government authorities
that If that were done the Indians would
become ~peaceable and industrious. The
Government, after q time, reluctantly
consented to do as he requested, and the
result has been most gratifying. Crook
has treated the Apaches humanely, not
withstand their inknmanity, and as re-
silt, he says, they are taking a decided
interest in agriculture and s~tock-raising
and appear anxious to have their chill
dren educated. He also says in o recent
letter that there is not in the state OF
Pennsylvania a village of the same pop
.niation nor peaceable and aw-abiding
than the 5 1000 Apaches on the San Car
los Reservation. It is greatly hoped
that Crooks policy my soon beextend-
ed to the other tribes Of American In
dians, and the loss of many lives and
much money thereby saved.

The tobacco crop of this country,
which in 1864 was but 1877, 900, 600
pounds, promises in 1884 to be between
600, 600, 900 aud 700, 0OO, 900 pounds, or
more than three times that of twenty
years ago. The acreage, which in 1864
was 239, S26, has jumped up to nearly
700, 900, while the value of the crop,
which in 1864 was $50, 600, 900, will
probably reach $45, 900, 900 or $50,OOO,-

Beautiful But Dirty.

The Indian OF Cooper's novels no
longer exists, if he aver did live. The
red man of the forest has his good
traits, no doubt, aud some of his bed
ones are either copied from his white
brother, or have been developed by two
centuries of unjust treatment. But he
is not a romantic being. Nor is his
squaw. Nor is his pappoose. Nor is
the Indian maiden, a pappoose no long
err, but not yet a sIuaw. The United
Service describes one of these latter,
and one feels as thoughher photograph
would be more acceptable than her
bodily presence.
She was not too tall, and was finely
formed, though want Of food had mar
red the once rounded contour OF her
young and shapely limbs. Her hair
was long and ofa rich purplishSblafk.
Her eyes were large, l%ustrous, full Of
natures fire and brightness.
Her eyebrows were dark as her han,
and perfectly arched. Her lips were
full and of a vivid red,
Her teeth, like those of most Indians,
were beautifully regular and brilliantly
white, though tooth brush had never
touched them. They seemed. however,
like all Indian teeth, to have been made
to eat raw flesh. / cannot better de-
scribe the appearance of Indian teeth.
Her cheeks and forehead were
touched with the vermilion dye the
squaws use for the purpoee of personal
adornment; for they too, like too many
of their white sisters. sndeavor TO lm
prove upon nature. Her matted nalr

tangles; it knew nothing Of Q corae.
