St. Paul's Indian Scare.

at is difficult to realze,n said a lady who
has resided in ST. Paul from the early days,
"that we had such a scare about the Indians
in this city twenty-six years ago. during the
Indian troubles. There Yves good deal OF
excitement all over the city for two or three
days. l remember one day an old colored
woman came in great excitement to my
house and said she had heard the governor
had ordered the whole population to leave tho
city at once-the Indians were marching ON
us, fully armed and thirsting for our blood.
She rushed away, saying she was going to
pack up and leave A German woman who
lived on the other side Of the block, and
whose lot was opposite mine, barricaded her
door with her bureau and bed, and got her
ak ready to defend herself and, in an extrem-
ity, to chop down the fence and take refuge
in our house. Sso was fully convinced an
attack would be made that night.
Toward evening on that Gay several of
| my neighbors began to pack up, having heard
that the Indians had captured ST. Anthony
and were about to give their attention to st.
Paul One or two families living near me
packed up what they could conveniently
carry and rushed down to Bridge square,
where many persons were assembled, expect
ing every moment to hear the war whoop OF
the savages. Our carriage horses were taken
by the state for service during the campaign
One of them q very fine horse, was shot dead
in the first baltic with the Indians. i con
fess l was somewhat nervous. These were
! really very trying times; but st. Paul, O.
course. was in no danger Of attack. "-Ths

Golden Rods and Asters.

Vick's Magazine thinks that these grouped
together should be accepted as our national
aowers-'e mblems Of endurance, light and
freedom" After midsummer in this coun-
try, our rural landscape is everywhere bright
ened by the golded rods and asters; they form
distinct and beautiful feature Of the scenery.
The eyes Of our countrymen are everywhere
gladdened by their smiles, north and south,
cast and west, on the hills and tho noun
tain sides, in the valleys and on the broad
prairies, by the roadsides and the streams,
and in the field and copses they stand as
tokens of the genial heat that brings from tho
soil the golden grains and the beautiful, lus-
cious fruits. No other country in the world
is thus characterized; these plants belong to
America, and as such should be our pride
and delight.
While on this continent there are from six
ty to seventy species, and perhaps more, of the
solidagos or golden rods, and nearly all of
them of vigorous habit, growing from foot
to eight feet in height, all the world besides
affords less than a dozen, and these for the
most part of small size and confined to few
localities OF limited area, and always In such
small numbers as to make them rare plants.
The species of asters in this country are still
nlore numerous than those of the golden rod

A Typical Adirondack Guide.

The great character of our party was the
driver, Charley-a chap who is as hard to
catch asleep as an old weasel. He is as trim
built as an Indian runner, as quick as q
greyhound, and can so exactly initiate the
hound in full chase that it will puzzle an old
hand to tell which is the real hound He
seems made of whalebone, trimmed with
India rubber. He will start out towards the
east with couple of dogs attached by
chain to his waist, another he leads, and his
own two travel in front, with them he holds
general conversation on the way. Within
three hours he will start each dog after q
separate deer, and by short cuts or by some
hocus pocus, he will be up with ono or more

Ferguson, Under Foreign Secretary, said
that no engagement had been entered into
with Italy, or any other Power, that was
not known to Parliament
Gladstone said he heard with extreme
satisfaction the assurance that the Govern
ment had conducted a policy of harmony
with France. He was content with the
declaration just obtained. He earnestly
hoped that, whatever happened in Europe,
a unity of sentiment of all parties on the
foreign policy would be obtained, thus
doubling the moral force of England and
immensely increasing her power when
constrained to interfere.
W. H. Smith congratulated the House on
the tone of Gladstone's remarks, and said
there was not the slightest grounds for fear
that anything had been done to trench
upon the existing harmony with France.
The amendment was withdrawn.

INFLUENCE OF FooD-SUPPLY.-A verit-
able plague of Brazil, according to Won
Ihering, results from the singular increase
of burrowing mice of the genus Hesper-
onys, which, ordinarily very rare, become
alarmingly abundant at irregular periods
coinciding with Towering seasons of the
herbaceous plant which furnishes their
chief food. This plant, eresciuma, reaches
maturity and flowers only at regular in
tervals varying for six to thirty years In
May and June, 1876, lthe mice appeared
in prodigious numbers at Lourenco, where
in few days they totally demolished the
fields of corn, potatoes, rye and barley, in
vaded houses and destroyed everything
not too hard for their teeth, and even ate
fat swine and removed the wooden shoes
from the COWS. At the natural rate of in
crease the progeny of pair of mice would
reach $4,000 individuals in season. and if
their multiplication was favored by an
abundant seeding of the fayorite plant
every year they would soon drive all other
living creatures from the country.
