He Never Took The Elixir.

For several years there has been dOmi-
ciIed at the Montery County Hospital an
Indian known by the name of "0ld Ga
briel." As 10 the exact day, month or
year of his birth, proc! is absent, but Of
the fact that he has passed the wonder
full age Of one hundred and fifty years
there is quantity of proof. Gabriel was
in Tulane County, but during childhood
removed to the town Of Monterey. The
Rev. JuniperO Sierra arrived in Monterey
in 1110, and il is well authenticated that
at that time Gabriel was grandfather.
The youngest age at which an Indian
married was fifteen years, If Gabriel
followed The custom and married at that
age he would necessarily have been at
least thirty-two or thirty-three years old
to have been a grandfather at the time
of the Rev. JnniperO's landing there. A
widely known old lady, by the name OF
Castro. who died five years ago at the age
of ninety-fye, in teStifying to old Grbriel's
age. said that when a child she saw old
Gabriel, and that at that time he had
children several years older than she
| then was.

A sensible girl will not keep
a lot of cosmetics and drugs on her
toilet table, but there are a few
articles she would always have in
a convenient place. She should
have an array of glaas-topped bot
ties containing alcohol, alum, cam
phor, boraX. ammonia, and glyce-
rine or vaseline. \ little camphor
and water may be used as a wash
for the mouth and thoat if the
breath is not sweet. Powdered
alum applied to a fever sore will
prevent it from becoming very un-
slightly and noticeable. Insect
stings or eruptions of the skin are
removed by alcohol. a few grains
in perspire very freely, rendering
them unpleasantly moist. A few
drops OF sui phuric acid in the wa
ter are also beneficial for this pur-
pose, and are also desirable for
those whose feet perspire freely.
We should always recommand
care in the use of scented soap;
in many cases the perfume is SIM
ply a disguise for poor quality.
A gool glycering or honey soap is
always preferable. Ofcourse, one
may rely on scented soaps from
high-class manufacturer, but it
costs more than it is worth. In
addition t o the soap used or bat
hing, white CASTLE should be kept
for washing the hair. Occasional
ly little boraX or ammonia may
be used for this purpose, but it IS
usually too harsh i'll its effects.

will the telephote enable us to see

says that the instrument will trans
nit luminous vibrations through

ands of miles. In brief, the user
of the telephote will see whatever
is visible from the instrument mt
the other end Of the wire as easily
and as clearly as if he were on the
spot. We shall be able by and by
with its use, to see, for example,

as well as if we were personally at
the English or Scottish capital.

FRIDAY. MAY 3, 1889.

The members of the Grand Army
who went to New York to take part in
celebrating the Centennial, should by
all means have been given the right Of
the line, and those who from wounds
should undoubtedly been allowed the
use OF carriages. But instead OF that
the veterans were assigned place at
the tail OF the line, and one old vet.
eran of tho war of 1872 was compelled
TO walk, although he was able and
willing to pay for carriage. Under
the circumstances the members of-the
Grand Army would have been justified
In refusing to turn out. 1t has been
many years since some Of those who
acted as the committee of arrange
ments at this celebration were only too
happy to have these men whom they
now insult, take the right of the line,
in fact have the entire line to them
selves for four years, while they re-
manned at their homes and enjoyed all
their comforts
They were welcome to the right of
line when General Sherman had his
parade from Atlanta to the sea. There
was no question raised about their
right to take the lead at Gettysburg,
Antietsm, or up the steep sides Of
Lookout mountain, or in hundred
other places where shot, shell and
rifle balls were busy on their mission
Of death. They were gladly accorded
the right to lead in those days, and it
is an insult TO every old soldier to re-
fuse them that right now, especially
on the occasion OF the celebration OF
one of the most momentous events in
the history of the country they helped
70 save.

West Chester has solved the tramp
problem in a very practical and ct
fectual manner. The plan is 10 make
them work. They are furnished with
lodgings and something to eat, but
have TO work to pay for 1t and the con-
Sequence is that it will not be long be-
fore the people of West Chester will
not be able 10 tell what a tramp looks
like; If there is anything in this
world that tramp hates it is work;
he can stand being sent 10 Jail, and it
Is his delight during the winter season
TO be locked up in an almshouse, but
when he is compelled TO work that is
something else, and he is SO grieyously
insultee that he generally gives all
places where such a custom is en-
forced a very wide berth. If the
people of West Chester intend to con.
tinue this practice their town will
soon have a bad name among the fra.
ternity, and it will not be long before
we will have them all in Wilmington
where our tender hearted citizens gen,
orally give them sufficient to cat, and
even If they should be ARRESTED the,
will only be sent to New Castle jai
for a few weeks 10 rest and prepare ioi
