SIMON CAMERoN'S STORY.
He Cast Bread on tho Waters which Rc
turned to Him Fourfold.

The well-known preacher, DIR. Paxton,
says that when he was stationed in Wash
ington, General Simon Cameron came to
him one day and said:
My young preacher, l want you to
preach sermon from the text: Cast your
bread on the watsrs, and it will return
four-fold after many days.
In explaining the request, the veteran
Pennsylvania politician said that, when he
was quite a young man, he met a young
lumberman, who was bemoaning his i'll
luck in having his raft of timber laid up by
the low water. The man was surrounded
by some operators, who were trying to
secure the drift for a mere song.
Cameron asked the young fellow, whose
name was Hahnemann, if he could not hold
the logs until the freshets came

the reply, " and these men are trying TO
squeeze me. don't know what to do, for

swered Cameron. ''Come with me to NV
bank and will hold your lumber and loan
you all the money you need at legal in

The young lumberman was rescued, and
General Cameron lost sight of HIM.

his fathers experience, but conversed with
his mother and then returned to the hotel to
see me. He said his mother was anxious
to see the man who had put his father on
his feet, If he could be found. told the
young merchant that was the man, and he

As a matter of fact, if you can't see

There are not less than twenty thousand
dressmakers in and about New York and
Brooklyn, and il one counts the women

the sloT-shop workers for the Wholesale

creased by many thousands more. Dress
making is good business, and there are
few trades. il any, in which an intelligent
girl can make better wages.
Dress-making, as fine art, is profess

professions. 1t takes an eye for form, an
eye for color, a knowledge of frabrics and
their capabilities, and it takes an artists

THE OLD BROKEN BUCKET.

How sad to my heart are the memories Of child
hood,
When passing reflections present them to
view,
The cane OF rattan that, when had been wild,
would
Descend on my back in a lively tattoo
The wide-spreading wood-pile the axe that
stood by it.
The torture these caused me no language can
tell;
And, OH how pale as IN fancy spyit,
The bucket on wash day bore TO the we'll.
The paint-coyered bucket, the bale-rope bound
bucket.
The old broken bucket bore to the well.
The bony old horse and the wreck it dragged
after,
The quaint village school-house that stood
near the hill.
The church where our features. distorted with
laughter
We could not suppress, can picture them
still.
Who rallied at school TO the sound Of the
But, oh: the deep cup of my anguish was filled
when
The bucket on wash day bore to the we'll
The wire handled bucket, the lop-sided bucket
The old broken bucket bore TO the we'll
The fussy schoolmaster, who frowned on all
pleasure.
Is gone and mis- voice will no longer be heard
The well-deserved slipper and woes without
number.
All deepest resentment within me have
stirred.
But one recollection with terror still flls me
And casts DER my childhood a sad, painful
spell;
No other event with such feelings instills me
As the bucket on wash-day l bore 70 the well.
The old, leaky bucket, the weather-warped
bucket,
The old broken bucket bore TO the we'll

youth and strength seemed renewed.
The kinsfolk gathered from far and
near to hear the old mans story. He had
been carried off to the shores of Lake
Huron, and adopted into the tribe of his
captors. They told him that every MEM
Der of his family had been slain, and the
bloody scalps at their belts seemed to
prove the truth of their words. Dan
turned from them with deep aversion at
first but was bought by a Frenchman,
who had married a squaw, and the lad
soon became in al respects a son of the
tribe.
His fine physique, his quick mind, his
ability to read and write, and his valuable
services in their treaties with the whites,
gave him a decided prominence in the
tribe. He married a woman of their ma
tion, and his son and daughter had in
herited many OF the finest qualities of
both races.
"WhY did not you come back TO us dur
ing all these years:' cried the old mother
with passionate reproach. Brown (for he
had kept his old nancy told her that he
| had never doubted the tale told him fifty
years before. of the destruction of his
whole family. Why should he care to
visit the scene of such desolation?
"And what started you at last?" queried
Colonel Brown, bluntly.
There bad been a treaty on foot between
the Indians and whites, Brown said, and
one of the whites had lived in Virginia as
a boy, had sat on the same bench at
school with the Brown brothers, and this
man told the chief that his mother was
still living, but warned him that if he
would see her alive he must make no tar
rying.
A few weeks later, and the stalwart
sons. strong even in advanced years. laid
the old mother to rest in the family bury

had witnessed so many tragedies since the
white mans axe first sounded in their
midst.
And now it appears that by the law of
primogeniture (then in force in Virginia)
the old chief is the legal owner of all the
broad acres which Colonel Brown and his
children have looked upon as theirs. He
may go back to his forest home without
knowing his rights. Nav; but Colonel
Brown is the soul of honor. He may 90
back richer than his whole tribe; nay;
but the old chief is the soul of generosity.
When he does return to his long brush
covered cabin, he is not richer than when
he left it months before, except in the
love, and gratitude, and admiration of old
kinsfolk and acquaintance; for he has
formally made over all his rights in the
property to his brother.
There was a tall, Saxon looking lad OF
Colonel Samuel Browns who would fain
have kept the beautiful Indian maiden by
a tenderer bond than the cousinly one;

DRYING DEAD BODIES.
New Scheme for Doing Away with
Cemeteries aud Crerm afo,.i.a

Cemeteries and Crematories.
Another answer to the question of how
best to dispose of the dead has, according
to the New York Tribune, been given by J.
g. Meyers, of Washington. He has in
vented a plan which he believes to be su-
perior to cremation, burial or any other an
cient or modern method Of treating dead
bodies. The new Mausoleum and Safe De-
posit for the Dead is the name of this new
contrivance.
Mr.. Meyers plan may be regarded as a
compromise between the two extremes of
interment and cremation. In fire-proof
building spaces will be provided just large
enough to hold a single coffin. When a cof-
nm with dead body is placed in one of
these the door of the apartment is hermet-
ically scaled. Running from these apart
ments are tubes which bring air into tho
dead-rooms and also carry it downward by
forced draft TO central furnace below,
where are consumed all gases and fluids es-
Gaping from the bodies. Dead bodies treated
IN this manner will, in short time, it is
claimed, become naturally preserved or
dried, and so remain.
Ample provision will be made to prevent
the entombing of persons not really dead.
A receiving room will be provided with an
electrical apparatus so arranged that the
an alarm. This will continue for hours, if
need be, and will also move an indicator
which will draw attention to the place
where the movements occurred. If, again,
for any reason the removal of the dead
should be desired, the bodies in the Mauso-
leum, unlike those in gloomy pyramids of
GiZeh, are always accessible and in such a
state of preservation as TO make transfer
practicable and comparatively easy. Ar
rangements will also be made for enbalm-
ing bodies and for entombing those
treated in this way that they may be seen at
any time by friends.
BY the adoption of this system, Mr.. Myers
maintains, body-snatching will be made inn
possible. There will be but a single en-
trance to the building, guarded day and
night. Yet, notwithstanding all these ap-
pointments, the cost of entombing in the
mausoleum will not exceed that Of re-
spectacle interment in Greenwood, Laurel
Hill or any other well-known cemetery.
Families could be accommodated with sec
tons, including as many single apartments
as desired. The fronts of these spaces can
be adorned as deliberately as q tombstone
and with fully as great variety of orna-
mentation.
An ordinary mausoleum could be placed
within the limits of city as well as on cem-
etery grounds, and be far less Objectionable
if built and managed as proposed, than the
average brewery or sugar refinery. So
favorably has Mr.. Meyers plan been re-
ceived that already preparations are being
made to introduce it throughout the coun-

RED-HEADS IN PLENTY.
Twenty-Seven Strawberry Blonds I'm tn,
Fiftieth Congress.

Twenty-Seven Strawberry BlOnds I'm the
Fiftieth Congress.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Herald is authority for the state
ment that there are twenty-seven red
headed representatives. in the new House.
The number is vouched for by an officer
of the House who has kept record.
There are many with sandy hair, and
hair that is almost red, but none of these
are counted. There is a superstition
which causes many members to hope great
things from a Congress possessing this
striking feature. Many Congresses have
been noted for their gray heads and bald
heads, and some, it is said, for their pig
heads, but no Congress before could
boast more than half a dozen red heads.
1t is proposed that they all be sworn in
at once, standing In circle around the
Speakers desk, and there will be an
anxiety on the part of each committee to
get one for good luck. As there are forty
seven standing committees, there will not
be enough to go round, so there may be
pretty sharp rivalry.
One of the reddest heads is that on the
shoulders Of McShane, of Nebraska, who
is very rich, and is said to be a general
good fellow. No less pronounced in hue
is the head possessed by Boothman, of
gress for one session, having succeeded
the famous head of Mr.. Belford, of
Colorado, who was famiiarly known
as the "Red-headed Rooster of the
Rockies" Mr.. Vance, of Connecticut,
has fine red head. The locks of his col
league, Mr. Russell, are a bright sandy,
but he is not admitted into this list. Mr..
Pennington, of Delaware, has a undis-
puted right to appear in this classification
among the mascots.
The claim of Mr.. Hopkins, Of Illinois,
has been established in the past; there
can be no question about the color Of his
hair. Mr.. Matson, of Indiana, is the only
one who is admitted with some hesita-
ton; but his friends urge that his hair is
red enough for all practical purposes.
Daniel Ker's hair is red. Mr.. Caruth's
head is only sandy, so he must be ex-
cluded, with Rush of Maryland; Morse,
of Massachusetts,, and Tarsnev, of Michi-
gan, who have not the requisite tint.
John Lind has red hair; so has
Felix Campbell, of New York, as every
body knows. Davenport's decidedly
tinted locks were much admired during
the last Congress. John I. Henderson, of
North Carolina; Binger Herman, of Ore
gon, and John Dazell, of Pennsylvania.
all have red heads. Neal, OF Tennessee,
and Silas Hare, of Texas, bring two more
good red heads to swell the number
Virginia furnishes three red heads, worn
by I. II. b. Browne, w. II. F. Lee and
Jocob YOst. Wiscon S:n has Guen tner and
Isaac Stephenson. Mr.. Thomas hair is
not a clear rel. but his whiskers make no
apology. SIN th, of Arizona, and Voor-
hees, OF Washington Territory, are the
two ed-headed delegates.
