Curious Hindoo Notions.

A curious light is thrown on the rural
life of Bengal by the contents of a paper
reprinted lately in the annual report Of
the Bombay Anthropological society,
says The Calcutta Times. From this
paper we are told the following, among
other things: Shouting the name of the
king of birds (garuda) drives away
snakes Shouting ram, ram, drives away
ghosts. Cholera that attacks on Mon
day or Saturday ends fatally, but no
cholera that attacks on Thursday. The
Towering of bamboos augurs famine.
In tanning, if the fan strikes the body it
should be thrice knocked against the
ground. When giving aims the giver
and receiver should not be standing ON
different sides of the threshold. 1t is
bad to pick ones teeth with ones nails.
If snake is killed it should be burned,
for it is Brahman. At night the words
''snake" and 'stiger" should not be used;
call them creepers and insects. Do not
wake up sleeping physician. A morn
ing dream always comes to pass. De-
votion without headgear is wrong. Iron
is charm against ghosts. A black cat
with q white face is very auspiciousy

800 square miles. The only town in tho

The sweet Potato. -

The latest invention in cheap mouth
instruments comes from Austria, and is
generally called the 'sweet potato
though its right name is the ocarina. 1t
is made of clay, and exactly resembles a
sweet potato in shape. 1t is kind of
combination of the flute and clarinet,
but is of course very much shorter. The
ocarina is made in every key and can be
played without difficulty, being probably
the easiest learned musical instrument
ever invented. 1t 10 very clear in its
tone, and answers well for experiments

onsred His IrnnIe.

Perhaps there are no new motifs or
principles of humor, only new applica-
tions. And we are amused when they
are applied to characters well known.
During the war, at q time of great de-
preston, it is said that q public meeting
was called in Oneida county, N. Y, for
the purpose of stimulating the war spirit,
1t was matter of notoriety at the time
that there was decided political disa-
greement between Roscoe Conkling and
his nephew, Morris Miller, and that they
warmly opposed each others views and
measures.
The meeting was q very fervent one,
and in the course of it great enthusiasm
was aroused for the more vigorous prose-
cution of the war. The speakers Wed
with each other in their devotion and
personal self sacrifice. One speaker Of
fered tocontributea large sum of money.
another and another offered an increased
amount An aged man arose and with a
broken voice declared that he had no
money to give, but that he had young
son whom he would dedicate to the
service of his country. Another father
arose and with tears in his eyes pledged
the same sacrifice.
The enthusiasm was at its height and
the house was carried away by the spirit
of self surrender, when Mr.. Miller arose
and eloquently expressed his devotion to
the cause.
81 have" he said, in thrilling tones,
''no money to give, but offer to my
country my uncle, Roscoe Conkling."
There was dead silence for moment
and then suppressed laughter and then a
roar that shook the house. Business was
resumed, the speaking went on, ether
pledges were made. But every now and
then somebody would break out in a
litter: ''He offers his uncle, Roscoe Conk-
ling" and the fancy would tickle some
body else, until the whole house wascon-
vulsed again and again with merriment.

mo- poesn,t Keen Turpentlne.

Henry Armand sent negro to The
Argus office, one day last week, after
five cents worth of turpentine. Having
a 20-cent bottle on hand we filed the
order, TO enable us to mail two letters.
Since then, however, we have had other
calls for the ingredient, and it worries US
no little. Once for all, wish it understood
that we don't keep turpentine, and the
next individual who comes here for it
will meet with sudden death.--Jackson

Receiving Attention.

An associated press telegram received
here last evening says that Mai. Powell,
director of Geological surveys, yesterday
explained to the Eouse committee on terri
tories his plan for the reclamation of arid
lands by irrigation. He illustrated by
means of a map the location of proposed
reservoirs, dams and canals in the James
River district, and said he thought reser-
voirs could be constructed for $3.50, 900,
whereby 1875, 900 acres of land could be
reclaimed. The lands wire worthless
now, but if reclaimed by irrigation would
become very valuable. Maj. Powell said
that between ninety and 100 million acres of
arid land in the west could be reclaimed
by irrigation after works had been con
structed and were in operation, the an.
nual cost, etc, to the farmer for ~irrigating
his land would be from 81 to 50 per acre.

A Railway Rumor.

A current Omaha and Denver railway
report is hat the Union Pacific will in
augurate a new system in the manage
ment of the operating department of the
road. The new plan is said to contem-
plate making G. NJ. Cumming general
manager of the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation company, f. Dickinson, the
present general superintendent, general
manager of the Wyoming, Utah and
Idaho divisions, and @. s. Mellon, now
acting general manager, general manager
of the Kansas, Colorado and
Nebraska divisions. Superintendent
j. K. Choates' authority will
be extended over the Wyoming division.
There are some things about the above
report that do not exactly agree with what
would probably be done in such a case,
and while the plan as a whole may proye
true, it is likely the final arrangement
will be somewhat different.
The Cheyenne people wish Mr.. Cum.
ming all the good fortune out of doors,
but will object to any arrangement forcing
him to leave this city. AS a a prominent
citizen remarked the other day, 'he is
one OF us"
