The famous Pictured Rocks on the
Evansville pike, about four miles from
this place, nave been n source of wonder
and speculation for more than a century,
and have attracted much attention
among the learned men of this country
and Europe. The cliff upon which these
drawings exist is Of considerable size and
within a short distance Of the highway
above mentioned.
The rock is a white sandstone which
wears little from exposure to the weather,
and upon its smooth surface are define
ated the outlines Of at least fifty species
of animals, birds, reptiles and fish, en-
bracing in the number panthers, deer,
buffalo, offers, beavers, wildcats, foxes,
wolves, %raccoons, opossums, bears, elk,
crows, eagles, turkeys, cells, various sorts
Of fish large and small, snakes, etc. In
the midst of this silent menarerie of
specimens of the animal kingdom is the
full-length outline of a female form,
beautiful and perfect in every respect.
Interspersed among the drawings of ami
mails, etc, are limitations of the foot
prints of each sort, the whole space oc-
cupied being $50 feet long by so wide.
To what race the artist belonged, or
what his purpose was in making these
rude portraits, must ever remain a
mystery, but the work was evidently
done ages ago.-MorgantowE wv. Va

The turbot lays 1000, 900 eggs, well
knowing that 10, 900, 800 will be eaten up
in the state Of spawn or devoured by
enemies in helpless infancy, or drfted
out to sea and hopelessly lost, or other
wise somehow u~naccounted for. The
fewer the casualties to which a race
is exposed the smaller the number
of eggs or young which it needs to pro-
duce in order to cover the necessary
losses.
In fish generally it takes at least 1O0,-
900 eggs each year to keep up the aver
age of the species. In frogs and other
amphibians, a few hundred are amply
sufficient. Reptiles often lay only a
much smaller number. In birds, which
hatch their own eggs and feed their
young, from ten to two eggs per annum
are quite sufficient to replenish the earth.
Among mammals, three or four at a
birth is a rare number, and many of the
larger sorts produce one calf or foal at a
time only.
In the human race at large, a total of
five or six children for each married
couple during a whole lifetime makes up
sufficiently for infant mortality and all
other sources of loss, though among
utter savages a far higher rate is usually
necessary. Even making allowances for
necessary deaths and celibacy, however,
] believe that as sanitation improves and
needless infant mortality is lone away
with, the human race viii finally come
to a state of equilibrium with an average
of three children to each household

I saw a silver cloud at eyentide,
At eventide a little silver cloud;
With outstretched, moveless wings. a paly

She sailed toward the west, and thu she said;
"Ah, joy was minel He bathed me in his

Over a thousand fields, a thousand groves,

While yet she spake her cloudy pallor changed,
And she became a wreath OF flaming fire

But ahl she darkened visibly as she went.

Then came a cold, low wind, and breathed on

There is hardly anything about which
families should be more careful than in
scrutinizing the source of their ice sup
ply. / do not mean this in seasons of ex-
pccted epidemic, when people are afraid
of cholera or yellow fever. Those plaques
are principally feared SO much because
they are uncommon, but where they kill
one in II climate, scarlet fever, diph-
iberia and those classes Of disease kill
hundreds. Now, it has been shown re-
peatedly that fatal outbreaks of such dis
eases that have occurred i'm otherwise
healthy localities, and which at first
seemed mysterious and unaccountable,
have been due to ice taken from stag
nant or polluted waters. Ice that seemed
as clear as crystal has been found to con-
tain disease germs, which only needed
the application Of warmth TO restore to
fatal activity. Such things have been
demonstrates time and time again, andI
repeat that too much p%recaution can not
be taken in as%certaining the sources of

Value of Its Captures.
The growth Of our navy was one OF
the marvels of the age. IL cost the gov
eminent, in round numbers, $3.50, 900, 900,
or si20, 900, 900 for each year Of the war,
$40, O0O, 900 per month, or nearly IA third
of a million dollars for every day Of the
war.
1t employed over 900 vessels Of war
and over so, 900 men, which force greatly
exceeded that Of any other nation in the
world.
II guarded over 1000 miles Of coast,
including bays, rivers, etc. effectually
preventing the importation of arms ana
munitions of war, and so compelling the
earlier exhaustion of the Confederate
forces.
II captured the immense number Of
1,165 blockade-runners, many Of which
were fine steamers a ratio OF nearly SOC
captures per annum, or almost one eaoI
day during the entire war. The money
value Of its captures was at least $780,
900, 900, or $4,000 900 worth for each
year Of the war and $1,250.000 in value
for each month Of the war from first to
last.

there was water enough to float a gun

York, the James and the Mississippi,

the names of Fort Henry, Fort
Donelson, Island No. 10, Vicksburg,
Port Hudson, Fort jackson, Fort st.
Philip, Fort Sumter, Charleston harbor,
Mobile bay, Hatteras inlet, New Orleans,
Port Royal and Fort Fisher, and Il score
moro of such famous names, the Ameri-
can navy will be universally honored;
while such deeds as the sinking Of the
Alabama in square naval battle viii ever
be named among the most brilliant
victories of the age.
It opened the harbors by the p%erilous
work of removing distractions, ~torpedoes,
etc, and by utterly destroying the hostile
batteries which commanded them. 1t
held in check the hostile clements Of
many a city and rural section while a
dreaded gunboat quietly lay before II; in
short, it displayed heroism Of the noblest
type and made our reputation on the
seas equal that Of any nation.-Admiral

If reports be true, the princess of Wales
is an eminently clever milliner and gives
finishing touches TO all her own bonnets
and hats, and Judging from the individ-
uality Of her taste in the direction, it is
quite likely rumor may be safely cred
tied. A very pretty story has long been
current as to the royal lady's gift Of art.
Not a member Of the royal family, not a
person intimately attached to the court,
could venture 10 suggest that after long
years the queens mourning might with
advantage be lessened. w%hereupon the
princess of Wales gently took the matter
in hand.
Without a word to anybody she re-
modelled the queens somber bonnet, re-
moving the weeds and, with a few
artistic touches, relieved her majesty
head-covering Of its mournful aspect.
Silently the queen submitted TO the
change. but all the court knew she did
50 for her daughter-in-law's sweet sake.

Washington's pompous ways were Sc
verely criticised at this time. His gor
geous, cream-colored coach with its six
horses was talked of, and they said that
it was ridiculous for one who posed as
the great champion of American liberty
to keep men in livery and to own 500
slaves. There was probably some truth
in this charge. Washington was a great
swell, and he liked to strut about and
have his fellow-men toadying him. He
believed in high honors being paid to the
president of the United States, and his
receptions as president were of the stiff
est kind. He dressed in the richest of
clothes, wore silk, satin and lots of gold
lace, and l doubt not he was a little
proud of his figure. which was tall and
well formed, with the exception of the
chest, which was sunken.
Washington had probably as fine an
establishment in America as any man in
the country at the time he lived He
kept the finest of horses in his stables,
and had an army of liveried servants.
AT Mount Vernon he had 100 cows, and
he entertained like an English lord. He
always had wine ON his table, and he
drank several glasses at every dinner.
His wife was addressed as Lady Wash
ington in those days, and his friends gave
him the title in private life Of your ex-
cellency.n l have seen manuscript pri-
waite letters to Mrs. Washington, and l
doubt not that during the first admins
tration of our government she was toad
led like a queen. She and the president
had their coat-Qf-arms, and George
Washington had buttons made, at least
there are such buttons in existence, with
his initials on them. The Washington
family had the finest of china. They
liked good furniture, and wen now at
Mount Vernon one might keep up an es-
Enlistment which would not discredit
the times of to-day.-Cor. Cleveland
Lender.
