History of October
From Lippincott's Magazine

From Lippincout's Magazine
October was so named from its being
the eighth monthin the primitive Roman
calendar, ascrlbed to RomuIus. It be-
came the tenth month in the year as re-
vised by Numa, who added January and
February, but it retained its original
name. julius Caesar, in his revision Of
the calendar, gave it thirty days, which
were changed TO thirty-one by Angus
tus. October, in Roman mythology,
was sacred to Mars. Efforts were made
to change its name, as in the case Of
September, which was successfully
named Germanicus, Antonius, Tacitus
and Herculeus, the surname Of Emperor
Commodus. October was called Faus-
tinus, by the Sepat> in honor of Faus-
tina, wife of Antonlus; while Commodus
named it Invictis and Domitianus.
None of these names became current.
Our Saxton ancestors called October
Wyn moneth las modernized, Vein
monat), wine month. It received from
the ancient Germans the wlnter-fyllith,
from the approach of winter after the
full moon OF the month. In old Anglo
Saxon calendars it is indicated by hus-
bandman with sack on his shoulder,
sowing wheat, from the fact that this is
the month in which the winter wheat is
SOWn.

One of Sheridan's Anecdotes.

In Gen. Philip H. Sheridan's article,
which will appear in the November
Scribner's, the following anecdote of the
evening after Napoleon's surrender is
related: Bismarck Bohlem bore with
him one great comfort-some excel
lent brandy. Offering the flask to his
uncle, he said: You've had hard
day OF it; won't you refresh yourself p
The Chancellor, without wasting time
TO answer, raised the bottle to his lips,
exclaiming: Here's to the unifica-
ton of Germany which sentiment
the gurgling of an astonishingly
long drink seemed to emphasize.
The Count then handed the DO tie back
to his nephew, who, shaking it, ejacu-
lated, why. we can't pledge you in re-
turn-there is nothing leftp to which
came the waggish response, I beg par
don; it was SO dark [ couldn't see;'
nevertheless there was little remain
ing, as can myself can aver

Some ten days ago I was taken with
very violent pain in the small of my
back. 1t was so severe that / could
hardly breathe; every movement
caused great agony. | finally found out
it was lumbago. Being entirely help
less, a friend sent to druggist and got
two AILCocKs Porous PLAsTERs these
were well warmed and applied to my
back, one above the other. In half an
hour, to my great de light and surprise,
l found the pain began to abate. In
two hours was able to walk out and at
tend to my business, the pain being al.
most gone. Next day I was all right,
but continued wearing the plasters for

Washington Special TO New Orleans Times
For several days there has been at

name. When the Mexican Republic
was making her struggle for freedom oc-
Cured the heroic defense which ended
in the massacre of the Alamo. ''Ther-
mopylR had her messenger of defeat
the Alamo had none, " is the inscription
on the battle monument which marks
the place where the gallant Gusts,
Bowie and Crockett fell. But there was
survivor. A boy by some miracle es-
capped the universal slaughter. It was
William James Cannon-"the Child OF
the Alamo" He is now an old man with
long white hair, which falls around a
face remarkably like that of the late
Secretary Seward, though scanned and
rougheLed by frontier life. He has
led a most eventful life, which would
furnish the foundation for dozen lurid
dime novels. He speaks fluently Span
ish and a dozen Indian tongues He
followed Crook into the Mascelero re-
treat in the Sierra Madres. He wears a
broad sombrero of Spanish felt, pres
ent from Gen. Bragg, United States
minister to Mexico. A claim for some
1000 acres of valuable Texas lands
brings him to Washington.

Danpr.

A hard and tough compound, known
as dampr, is used as bread by the peo-
pie OF Australia. Judging from its con-
sistency, one might guess, without being
told, that baking day " does not come
very often on the sheep runs. The au-
thor of Wild Life " thus describes the
making of dampr:
Mike, the shepherd, brought out an
empty flour sack, carefully folded it in
two, laid it upon the ground, and spread
over it about five pounds of -four.
Clearing a space in the middle of the
heap, something in the way that build
ers mix mortar, he filed it with water,
and worked the -four in for half an
hour, when the dough was so stiff that,
patted out into cake three inches
when trundled along the ground
His helper had by this time made a
fire large enough to roast sheep. Mike
pulled Oft the half-burnt brands, leav-
ing mass of glowing embers. Raking
these together, he stirred them to drive
OFT all the dust. and then with a long
stick worked them away from the CEN
ter. Into this clear space upon the
bare, heated ground, he skillfullv drop
ped the great, cheese-shap cake of
dough, and left it some minutes ito get
the outside used to the heat" as he
said.
Finally, the embers were raked to-
gether and spread over the cake. and
this primitive outdoor oven was left
to do its work. Just before bedtime,
the cake was Withdrawn from the now
powdery ashes, and the shepherd, tap
ping it with his knlfe-handIe, remark
ed. Sounds boiler all right! '
Then he set it on it's edge insid the
hut to cool-a well-baked dampr.

Not the Place for soft-shen Crabs.
From the New York Post

From the New York Post
How to handle crab is a subject bet
ter taught by actual experience than by
directions. 1t is not SO difficult matter
AS most people suppose, and the ladies
who would no sooner meet a crab than
some terrible beast of prey-say a
mouse-are all wrong. I have known a
whole carful of people utterly democrat
ICED by few poor, timid little crabs.
During the summer some friends who
went grabbing with me one day wanted
to take a few fine specimens to New
York. [ lacked them carefully in a
basket, with seaweed below and on top,
and over all tied newspaper. It was
dark when my friend and his wife
reached the railway. He put the basket
under the seat in the car and went to
sleep. Just as he was dreaming he
had landed crab as big as a
porpoise, his wife awoke him with a
tragic whisper, Harry, the crabs are
out-one has just walked over my foot!"
The situation was Il critical one. The
wet seaweed had weakened the paper
covering of the basket and the crabs
were coming forth in solemn process
sion; by the looks OF the basket, at
least twenty must have gone-some-
where. My friend damned heavy
shawl into the basket over. what remain
ed, and awaited developments in fear
and trembling. They were not long in
coming. A fearful shrek from lady
at the other end Of the car announced
that one crab bad made his presence
felt. All was excitement. "She's got
heart disease" said one gentleman;
stop the train and get doctor ~
Catch it, catch it. it's under my seat:

all right. A few little crabs that [ had
IN basket have escaped--that' ALL
That was all, was it? Every woman in
the car jumped shrieking upon the
seats, and quiet was restored only when
the last crab had been kicked OFT the
rear platform by the brakeman.

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How the Indian Treats an Iniury-O1d
Time Metbods


The savage is emphatically the child of
nature. He lives close TO nature, his only
education is gained in natures school.
When the Indian receives an injury, he
does not seek q cure in mineral poisons, but
binds on the simple leaf administers the
herbal tea, and, with natures aid, comes
natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but COM
Portable Log Cabins and started the clear
ings in the woods which in time became
the broad, fertile fields of the modern farm
er, found in roots and herbs that lay close
at hand natures potent remedies Tor all
their common ailments. 1t was only i'll
very serious cases they sent for old saddle
bags with his physic, which quite as often
killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too far
away from nature in every way, for its own
good Our grandfathers and grandnothers
lived wholesomer, purer, better, healthier,
more natural lives than we do. Their
minds were not filled with noxious isms,
nor their bodies saturated with poisonous
drugs.
Is it not time to make a change, to return
to the simple vegeta BILE Preparations of our
grandmothers which contained the power
and potency of nature rs remedial agents,
and in all the ordinary ailments were eifi-
cacious, at least harmless?
The proprietors of Warmers Log Cabin
remedies have thought so, and have put on
the market number of these pure vegeta
bic preparations, made from formulas Sc
cured after patient searching into the annals
of the past, SO that those who want them
need not be without them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies will be
found p" Log Cabin sarsaparilla," for the
blood; Log Cabin hops and buchu RENE
dy," a tonic and stomach remedy; Log
Cabin cough and consumption remedy"
Log Cabin hair tonic" for strengthening
and renewing the hair; Log Cabin ex-
tract, for both external and internal APP
plication; Log Cabin liver pills" - Log
Cabin rose cream," an old but effective
remedy for catarrh, and Log Cabin plas-
ters." All these remedies are carefully
prepared from recipes which were found,
after long investigation, to have been those
most successfully used by our grandmoth-
ers OF we olden time" They are the SIM
pie vegetable, efficacious remedies of Log
Cabin flayS

A Queer Check.
From the Washington Star.


The following is true copy of q
check drawn on a West Washington
bank sixty-four years ago, and shows
how banking business was conducted in
those days. The check was drawn by
citizen to pay the judgment in favor of

ciates. This will supply the Puppy
Rich Dinners to 'thoss who combined
with himself to persecnte and wrong
me out OF this money. May Just God
in due time smite and PROSTATE these
vile Hypocrites, and let each morsel
they eat at the table of this degraded
wretch prove dose of Gall & Norwood
until they are brought to repentance for
their iniquity. 1t is reported part of
this money is to be a donation to the
Female Orphan Asylum of Georgetown;
by that means this condemned wretch
expects to keep from sinking in public
estimation. Can it be possible? Il hope
not) that the guardians Of that institu-
ton would receive from this miscreant
a donation of money received in this
way, when it is well known he is this
day largely indebted to many respecta-
bic persons in this town, who he has, in
some instances entirely ruined by TAX
ing the benefit of the Bankrupt Law,
and is now living in greater affiuence
than any other person in this town.
Not only that but he once before failed
and ran Oft from Boston, indebted to an
immense amount, which he still is in
debted for. This is the fellow who now
comes out to make donations to the Fee
male Orphan Asylum of Georgetown. l
pray the guardians may not receive a
curse of this kind; look only to virtue
and aid will come from honest sources.
