Such a remarkable event is treasured in

good health has been attained is grateful

Norris Butterfield arrived home
from Arizona, a few days since,
bringing with him many curiosities
which he procured from the Pima In
dians, among which are baskets made
from species of flag woven so tight
that they are used to carry water.
Arrows made from hollow weed not
larger than a lead pencil, weighing
less than ounce, yet so strong that
the Indians will drive them through
an inch board. Also some valuable
relics which he dug from the ground
near Dead City, once inhabited by
the powerful Aztecs, consisting of a
stone axe, arrow-heads, mortars and
a perfect earthern water cooler that is
undoubtedly centuries old and among
the rest specimens of lizards, tarantu-
la and horrid toads.

How To MAKE A HAND GRENADE.
A Georgia physician writes to an
Atlanta paper that the solution used
in the hand grenade now offered so
extensively for sale is easily and
cheaply made by taking 20 pounds
of common salt, 10 pounds of sal am
moniac (muriate of ammonia, to be
had of any druggist, and dissolving
in seven gallons of water. When dis
solved it can be bottled and kept in
each room in the house. In case of
fire one or two bottles should be
thrown with force into the burning
place, hard enough to break them,
and the fire will certainly be extin-
guished.
Words cannot express the gratitude
which people feel for the benefit done
them by the use of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla.> Long standing cases of rheu,
matism yield to this remedy, when all
others fail to give relief. This medi'
cine thoroughly expels the poison
from the blood.
An exchange truthfully says
When you hear man sneering at the
local paper because it is not as big,
cheap and newsy as the city papers
you can safely bet that he does moi
squander his wealth in assisting il
making it better, and that generally
the paper has done more for him thar
he has for it. The man who canno
see the benefits arising from a loca
newspaper, is about as much value t(
town as delinquent tax list.
Ayers Hair Vigor has long helt
the frst-place, as hair-dressing, il
the estimation of the public. Ladies
find that this preparation gives {
beautiful gloss to the hair, and gentle
men use it to prevent badness an(
cure humors in the scalp.
