A CURIOUS EPISODE OF THE WAX

A veteran ofthe = Connecticut reg
iment of Volunteers keeps at home a
handsome uniform of Confederate
officer which was never worn but by
himself, and to which he owes some
months or years of liberty, if not life
itself
He was a tailor before the civil
war, and when he was captured on
Southern battlefield this fact reach
ed the ears of the commander of the
prisoners barracks.
"Egadl I'll have the Yankee goose
pusher make me a new suit" said
the officer, gazing at his dingy uni
form.
The finest gray cloth, gold-lace,
and bright buttons were brought to
the tailor prisoner, who worked
cheerfully away at the welcome en-
ployment On the evening the suit
was to be delivered, however,
brightide occurred to him, and soon
what was to all appearances a
spruce Confederate officer walked
past the guards, and was seen no
more in that part of Dixie. History
kindly draws the veil over the ex-
pletives vented on the nutmeg
Yankee" for not only gaining his
liberty-he earned that-but for tax
ing that precious suit, which cost SO
many hundred dollars of good Con
federate money! : From the Drawer

WINE AT PUBLIC DINNERS.

In regard to wine, it is a truth that
more Americans than English are
addicted to its use at dinner In
England frequently not more than
two-thirds of those at table take
wine, while at home it is seldom re-
fused. Those few, who like myself
are abstainers, are sometimes put in
embarrassing positions by having
their glasses filled during the dinner,
although they never even look upon
the wine-cup when it is red" | dis
pose of the matter eXpeditiously and
without verbal explanations by turn
ing down the glasses at my plate.
This custom shows the walters that

Farrar, observing it congratulated
me upon having solved difficulty
under which he had often labored
"A group of well-filled glasses beside
my plate, said he, would lead other

use it at all. Your inverted glasses

need of protestations on your part"

HOW THE BOOMERANG IS MADE.

This curious and unique weapon,
about which so much has been writ
ten and SO little is really known, is
curved piece of wood, slightly convex
on one side and nearly fiat on the
other. 1t is cut from a natural bend
or root of q tree, the hardest and
heaviest wood being always selected,
and its curve follows the grain of the
wood. Thus it will vary from a
slight curve to nearly right angle;
no two ever being the same shape.
1t is about three-eighths of an inch
thick, and from two to three inches
wide, tapering toward the ends,
which are either round or pointed.
The edge is sharpened all around,
and the length varies from fifteen
inches to three and a half feet
This is the shape of the boomerang,
but the secret of its peculiar flight is
to be found not SO much in it's gener-
al form as in its surface. This, on
examination, is found to be slightly
waving and broken up by various
angles. These angles balance and
cOunterbalance each other; some, by
causing differences in the pressure of
air on certain parts, give steadiness
of flight and firmness others give
buoyancy, and each has generally to
be determined practically by expert
mental throwing. Some boomer
angs appear to be mere denied or
crooked sticks; but they are really
implements which some black man
has whitfield and scraped till these
dents or angles have been properly
adjusted according the boomerang
principle. | believe it is possible to
make a boomerang by exact mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation; but yet l have
never seen two exactly alike. | have
made two, apparently the same in
buoyantly the other fell dead, be-
cause of some untrue adjustment of
the angles of its faces. When all an
giles are properly arranged the boom
erang goes through the air some
what as a screw-propeller goes
through the water-whirling rapidly
in its flight like a revolving wheel.
Gravitation and the force with
which it is directed cause its peculiar
swallow-like swoops, which are pro.
lOnged by the action of the floating
angles in counteracting gravitation
consequently, with spent force it is
still kept on the wing, and often
reaches the ground considerably be-
hind the thrower--[ From THE
Blackfellow and His Boomerang

BAD NEWS FOR NEWSPA PER DEA d
BEAT rs.

Cheerful news for newspaper pro-
prietors comes from Ohio. A paper
in that state recently brought suit
against fortythree men who would
not pay their subscription, and OBJ
tanned judgment for the full amount
in each case. Twenty-eight at once
prevented attachment by making at
fidavit that they had no more than
the law allowed Under the decision
of the Supreme Court they were ar
rested for petit larceny and bound
over in the sum of $500. Six of
these did not give bond, and went to
jail This is the result of the work
ing of the new postal law, which
makes it larceny to take a paper and
refuse to pay for it.-[Western Jour

JOHNC. FREEMONT 4 ND HIS PATTY.

The bill introduced in the Senate
for the appointment and retirement
of General John c. Fremont as
major general in the army recalls
familiar figure of thirtv-four years
ago. His nomination for the presi-
dency by the republican party was a
striking illustration of the methods
of American politics. The slavery
question had become so supreme that
it dissolved the Wing party in 1852,
and organized the republican party
in 1858, which in 1856 cast 1 ,341,-
264 votes for its presidential candi-
date against 1 1873, 169 for Buchan-
an, and S74, 534 for fillmore.
But the remarkable fact was that
a party which suddenly arose upon
a moral issue, and which was so
powerful as almost to succeed in its
first campaign, should have selected
for its candidate not one of its many
conspicuous and well-knOwn and
able leaders, identified with the
growth and development of the
party and of the strongest anti-slav
cry convictions, but a young man of
half foreign and southern birth,
known chiefly as an adventurous
and daring explorer, and, although
ofanti-slavery views, of southern and
H.
nections. There was, in fact, no
very general definite knowledge
about him. But he received the
nomination over MIR. Seward, the
accepted republican chief, and Judge
Mclean, a western conservative and
conciliatory republican, because of
''availability
The campaign that followed was
unprecedented for its intense feeling.
On the republican side, moral en-
thusiasm took the place of Ordin-
airy party spirit. The campaign
appeals were addressed to the con-
science, the primary sense of right
and Justice. They were not ingenious
arguments for a policy; and Mr.
Seward, after recovering from his
disappointment, showed in most i'm
pressive detail the complete ascen-
dency of the slave power in every
part of the government. The candi-
date, Fremont, who was little seen
in public and said nothing, was a
figure of romance and a symbol of
the great party which was to be
1.-The Pathfinder of freedom. The
more unknown he was, the more freely
imagination could represent him as
the gallant and noble embodiment of
true Americanism The younger
men were perfectly confident of sue
cess, but defeat consecrated them
only the more closely to the cause
until it triumphed. The real Ere
mont of those days is now an old
man But the Fremont for whom
those youth spoke and sang and
toiIed never existed. = Harper's

MORE INJUSTICE TO INDIANS.

Another story of peculiarly unjust
treatment of California Indians is
made public in Secretary Mobiles
statement to Congress. He reports
that out of 1O2, 900 acres in the
Round Valley reservation in Califor-
mia not more than 5000 are now left
for the use of the Indians. The rest
has been seized upon by white
squatters. The entertainments have
grown steadily worse from year to
year. and unless some remedy IS pro-
vided, these dependent and defense
less beings, who have so long peace
fully borne the wrongs inflicted upon
them, will be without an abiding
place" Strangely enough, the Sec
rotary reports that 'all the resources
of this department, of the depart
ment of Justice. and of the military
arm of the government. have thus
far failed to dislodge the intruders.
The intended relief provided by legis-
lation heretofore has served to bene
fit the invaders of the lands more
than the Indians" Several years
ago, upon the failure of Congress to
take action, troops were ordered to
eject intruders. The squatters OBJ
tanned an Injunction from local
court, which the commanding officer
refused to recognize. The state
militia were ordered to enforce the
decree of the state court, whereupOn
the United States Acknowledgement
yielded, and suspended proceedings.
At the time General Howard report
ed the existence of a disgraceful state
of affairs on the reservation, adding
that ''the iniquity perpetrated is so
glaring and SO public that it is de
moralizing in its effect upon a large
community" An appeal was made
to the Fiftieth Congress, but the bill
which was introduced was neglected
in the House, since ''the red men were
not voters" The subject is again
before Congress. 1t may be SAID
that few of the white squatters
have claims for improvements, but
these, which the government is will
ing to allow, have been made an ex-
cuse for wholesale entertainments
and a defiance of the federal authority.
To add to the hardship of the case,
the Indians are ready and anxious
to take alIOtments in severalty upon
the reservation and to give up the
rest of their land to the settlers.
But the Indians are not voters"
and they have no Influence" The
truthfulness of "Ramona" is attested
again by this plain record of facts.
We trust that the present Congress
will not incur the disgrace of further
delay Christian Union.
