NAT TURNER'S REBELLION.
The Uprising of Negroes Under the
Lead of an Old Preacher.

> Duringt the famous Nat Turner's Re-
bellion in Virginia in 1881, there were
sixty-three white persons killed, mostly
in their beds Or houses, and without
notice of danger. l
This instruction was inaugurated
and carried into effect under the guild
.ancei of Nat Turner. Nat was a negro.
and belonged to the widow Frances,
and in her infancy had been her nurse.
He was a Baptist preacher, and his
mistress cher husband Frances being
dead) allowed Uncle Nat to keep a
horse, and to 60 and come at his will.
He ranged through several counties,
and was popular with both white and
black people, and it was during these,
long travels attending associations that
he cautiously informed a few of his
friends in different counties that "the
last Saturday in August would be a
black day" Hundreds, and perhaps
thousands, had heard that much and
no more, and they not unfrequently
inquired to know if there was to be an
eclipse on that day. In that year
August had five Saturdays, ndTurner
made the fatal mistake of beginning
onthe fourth, taking it for the last.
Had it not been for this mistake the
bloody work would have been on a
larger scale, AS it was, the rebellion
was put down before his accomplices
in other counties had made any move
ment further than being ready for the
black day.
Turner's mistress, before this revolt,
had married a second time to a man
by the name of Day, and he allowed
Uncle Nat all the privileges that he
had previously enjoyed-to go and
come at pleasure, and he was, in fact,
as free as his master, But Day and
his wife and child were the first vic
Tins, and were butchered while in bed
by the hand ofNat himself It was a
week OF, longer after the rebellion had
been put down before Nat was ar
rested When Brought intoEthe town
of Jerusalem there was much excite
ment, and vengence was anticipated if
not threatened; and I pen the occur

THE WORLDS LARGEST TUN-
1za/ $500 MEL. ar} Hl:

An engineering work that has taken
over a century to construct can hardly
fail to offer some points of interest in
it's history and illustrate the march Of
events during the years of it's progress.
An instance of this kind is to be found
in a tunnel not along ago completed,
but which was commenced over 100
years ago. This tunnel, or adit,, as, it
should be more strictly termed, is at
Schemnitz, in Hungary. Its construc-
ton was agreed upon in 1873, the OBJ
ject being to carry off the water from
the Schemnitz mines to the lowest
part of the Gran Valley. The work is
now complete, and it forms the largest
tunnel in the world, being 1927 miles
long, or about me mile longer than
St. Gothard, and two and a half miles
longer than Mont Gents. The hight is
9 feet 10 inches and the bredth 5 feet
3 inches. This tunnel, which has
taken so long in making, has cost very
nearly a million sterling, but it ap-
pears to have been well spent-atl least
the present generation has no reason
to grumble, for the saving from being
able to do away with water-raising ap-
pliances amounts to $4,000 a year.
There is no further point, however,
worth notice, for if we have the ad-
vantage of our great-grandfathers in
the matter of mechanical appliances,
they were certainly better off in the
price of labor. The original contract
for the tunnel made in 1882 was that
it should be completed in 80 years and
should cost $35 per yard run. For IL
years the work was done at this price,
but the French Revolution enhanced
the cost of labor and materials to such
an extent that for 80 years little prog
Tess was made.
For 10 years following much prog
ress was made, and then the work
dropped for 20 years more, until the
water threatened to drown the mines
altogether. Finally the tunnel was
completed in 1888, the remaining part
costing sos per yard, or more than
three times as much as the original
contract rate Omaha Bee.

day and at the present time.

the temperament Of our people at that
day and at the present time.
Judge Parker was the presiding
Judge of that district, and was in
town when Nat was brought in. He
saw and knew that summary justice
was. in contemplation, and IN a few
words quieted the angry multitude.
He said to the crowd: " Virginians
have always been noted for their sub
mission and obedience to law. The
man is charged with the very gravest
Of crimes, but the State believes that
no n will violate her criminal laws,
and guarantees to every man charged
with a criminal offence a fair hearing
before al impartial jury, and is to be
deemed innocent until his guilt is
fairly established BY proof. I hope no,
violence will be, offered to this man.

Up to that time Of this outbreak
Nat Turner had maintained the char
acter of a ~peaceable, and quiet man.
He was evidently a monomaniac, sup
erinduced by religious fanaticism and
inhammatory influence. He had
brooded over this subject until he was
brought to believe that he was a
chosen instrument to carry out the de-
cree Of a higher power.-E1. -,

HINTS TO ~HOUSEKEEPERS.

To cure and heal a running sore, apply
alum water twice a day.
Let clothes that fade soak over night
in one ounce of sugar of lead in a pail of
water.
Ceilings that have been smoked with a
kerosene lamp should be washed off with
soda water.
An excellent furniture polish is Of
equal parts of shellac varnlsh, linseed oil
and spirits of wine.
For a scald or burn, apply Immediately
pulverized charcoal and oil. Lamp oil
will do, but linseed is better.
Papered walls are cleaned by being
wiped down with a flannel cloth tied over
a broom or brush. Then cut off a thick
piece of stale bread and rub down with
this. Begin at the top and go straight
DOWN. ~rrT -1r gzF
A simple remedy for neuralgia is to
apply grated horseradish, prepared the
same as for table use, to the temple when
the face or head is affected, or to the
wrist when the pain is in the arm or
shoulder. .n ar
Thick brown paper should be laid un-
der carpets, if the patent lining is not to
be had. It saves wear and prevents the
inroads of moths, which, however, will
seldom give trouble if salt is sprinkled
around the edges when the carpet is laid.
For dyspepsia pour one quart of cold
water on two tablespoonful Of unslaked
lime; let stand a few minutes, bottle and
cork, and when clear it is ready for use,
put three tablespoonful in a cup Of milk,
and drink any time, usually before meals.
A good wash to prevent the hair from
falling out is made with one ounce pow
dered borax, half, an ounce of powdered
camphor, one quart Of boiling water.
When cool, pour into a bottle for use,
and clean the head with it, applying with
a flannel or sponge once a week.
There is scarcely an ache to which
schildren are subject so hard to bear and.
so difficult to cure as earache. A remedy
which never fails is a pinch of black
pepper gathered up in a bit of cotton bat
ting wet in sweet oil and inserted in the
ear. It will give immediate relief,
There is nothing better for a cut than
powdered rosin. Pound it until fine, and
put it in an empty, clean pepper-box with
perforated top; then you can easily sift
it out on the cut, and putia soft cloth
around the injured member, and wet it
with cold water once in a while. 1t will
prevent inflammation and soreness.
To make good sticking-plaster, put two
~spoonfuls of balsam7 of Peru to six OF
isinglass, melted with very little water,
and strained. Mix these well together
in a small stone jar over the fire. Pin out
some black Persian or %sarcenet on a
board, and dipping q brush into the
mixture, pass it over the silk five or SIX
times; then hold it to the fire, but not
