JACKSON CITYS FATE.
An Eastern Town Which virtually Dice

lust across the Potomac, near the
western end of Long Bridge, tract OF
land containing 90 acres, was recently
sold for $4,000 which in President
Jackson's time was fabulously valuable.
a gentleman from New York, widely
known as a popular inn-keeper of that
dav. offered $4,000 for lot 75x150
feet, upon which he proposed to build
the finest hotel then south of Philadel-
phia. But the owners of the land
wanted $4,000, and that settled the
business-no hotel was ever built. The
land referred to-90 acres-was laid
out during Jackson's administration
and received the name of jackson
City," 1t was owned by company
which issued 800, 900 in bonds. and the
corner stone was laid by President
Jackson with military and civil pomp.
But it never make spur5-never had
a population of over twelve souls, and
in few years the cornerstone was
dug up and used for years by an old
colored 'aunty'' as a mortar to beat
~ heasinyin.
Not far from the proposed hotel was
natures cause for the origin of the
craze to build city which was to
rival Washington-Curtis Spring
which was famed as picnic and excur-
sion resort. Curtis Spring was the
capitals Saratoga, and the little
steamer took down thousands of pleas
ure parties annually. During the late
war most OF this ground was occupied
as forts for the defense of Washington.
The locality is now occupied by several
brick yards. The only remaining struct-
ure of that city "laid out on paper in
1887, is an old dilapidated brick build
ing, almost directly in front of which IS
square post bearing these words:
Center of pike, 10, 200 feet from juno
ton" Nobody knows what the words
mean nor why the post was placed
there, obstructing as it does legitimate
| travel.

guarded. Two hundred Ninnescahs
lay concealed in the grasses along the
ditch.
The Blackfeet approached from
both directions. A long row Of heads
could be seen above the water as they
passed the gates. They silently swan
along the ditch looking for place of
easy ascent. Not finding this they
began to pull themselves up by the
long grasses that hung from above.
When about to spring up they were
met and tomahawked by those who
lay in concealment, the dead bodies
dropping back into the water.
Seeing their companions were dis
covered, the Blackfeet without raised
a fiendish whoop, and rushed head
long into the death trap. The steep
embankment was the deadly obstacle,
yet they came till the entire ditch
was choked.
They aided each other in scaling
the bank, here began a wholesale
slaughter, which seldom has had a
parallel. Guns were thrown down
as useless, and the deadly tomahawk
brought into swift execution. Those
who succeeded in mounting the bank
were knocked back dead into the wa
ter, often drowning their compan-
ions. The creek was tinged with
their blood, and bodies drifted till
the passage at the lower gate was
completely blocked. 1t seemed that
the Blackfoot band would be annihil-
ated before they could extricate
themselves.
Those who now remained lay close
to the waters edge, and began re-
treat. Moving up stream they APP
preached the gateway to find their es-
cape cut off. The Ninnescahs had
here brought their rifles to bear upon
the heads of the swimmers. But one
means of escape now offered, and
that was to dire out. BY some this
feet was accomplished, though many
were drowned or shot in the attempt.
Less than one hundred of the
Blackfeet escaped, and these skulked
awayin small bands to their own
people. The Ninniscahs came into
possession of all the horses.
This signal victory ofthe Ninniscahs
did not place them in utter freedom
from danger. The spirit of theil
enemies had not yet been broken
They knew not what day they might
be overrun by two thousand Black
feet. After great dance and many
thanks to the Great Spirit for theil
deliverance, they moved south anC
joined the Chocktows, who received
them as brothers.

Welded.

Some quick and bitter words were said,
Aud then we parted. How the sun
Swan through the sullen mists of gray
A child fell on the summer day,
Lies best and happiest hours were done
Friendship was gone.
How proud we went our separate ways,
And spake no word and made no moar!
She braided up her flowing hair
That had always called so fair
Although she scorned my loving tone,
My word of praise.
And l! matched her scorn with scorn!
hated her with all my heart,
Until we CHANGED to meet one day;
She turned her pretty head away;
saw two pretty tear-drops start;
Lo! Love was born.
Some fond, repenting word | said;
She answered only with sigh;
But when / took her hand in mine,
A radiant glory, half divine,
Flooded earth and filled the sky;
Now we are wed.

Injurious Influences of City Life. y
Scientific American.

Scientific American.
So far as health is concerned, city
life has its evils as well as its advan-
tages. The experience of the civil
war showed that farmers sons can
not bear the fatigue of forced march
es like city lads, and differences have
been drawn from this tending to be-
little their powers that are scarcely
warranted by the facts. City lads
and men are used to much walking,
many being on their feet all day,
whereas, in the farming districts, it
is the custom to "hitch up" if the er-
rand is only short one, and hence
farmers are not up to walking. But
one cannot live in the country, es-
pecially on farm, without getting
much exercise and development of
the arms and the muscles of the up
per part of the body, while the city
lads get little or none. The medical
reports of the war Surgeon Generals
Department shows that the farmers
recovered from gunshOt wounds
quicker than those from big cities
their bodies being stronger and more
generally developed.
In a recent paper, w. B. Platt, M.
d., F. R. c. S. (English), declares
that athletic exercise is essential to
insure the health of city men. He
finds these, as rule, to be absolutely
undeveloped above the waist. Their
nervous system, he says, is injurious
ly affected by constant noise; and the
brain and spinal cord Jared by con-
tinual treading on the stone and
brick pavements. He says: aft
there is one general physical differ
ence between the country-bred and
the city-bred man, it lies in the
strength of the muscles of the should
err and arm. 1t is almost impossible
for a man to live in the country with
out using the arms far more than the
city man. This use of the arms has,
in both men and women, an import
ant bearing on the general health,
since it increases the capacity Of the
chest, and thereby the surface Of liv-
ing tissue where the blood IS spread
out in a thin-walled vessels, through
which the oxygen and carbonic acid
easily in opposite direction, serving
thus the double purpose of feeding
the body more abundantly and of re-
moving a constantly accommodating
waste product"

To Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inhamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells OF
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction Of the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.
