Trenton.
In the last AMERICAN, June is. appears
a statement that the farmers were selling
their old hay to the pressers at s. 90 per
ton. in anticipation of large crops the
present year From the observation of the
writer and the statement Of many others.
the prospect of poor hay crop is very
much more likely, judging from present
appearances, as in old fields all through
this section and many other points, the
grass at the present time is not at all en-
couragiDg. 1t may arise from a combina-
ton of hay buyers in order to crush out
the poor farmer.
In the family where the writer lives two
men were forking over their manure from
the stable and pig-yard when they found
two nests Of young rats each nest having
ten, Just beginning to run about. The TWEEN
ty were at once killed A few DAYS after
one large rat was caught lin a steel trap
which was sixteen inches In length; in less
than one week three others were caught
of the same size; two of them would soon
have had their young progeny. In day
or two other rats were seen. A lad of
thirteen years, set large steel trap and
caught two at once; he set the trap the
next night and caught two more; the third
night caught two more, and the tail of the
third; the rat being outside the trap tore
his tail from his body and left it in the
trap. This is big rat story, but is true
one as the writer is witness.
Vegetation In this vicinity is quite back

TRY DANA,s SARsAPARTLLA,
A YOUNG MANS FANCY.

LARGE allowance is to be made for the
sweeping assertion OF the poet that I'm the
spring a young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts Of love-" 1t certainly is not true OF
the malarial young man. whose fancy, IL he
has any, is Of the dull and heavy variety. The
malarial young man marches around as the
captive Of General Debility. The readiest and
most obvious means Of escape are afforded by
s. s. s., which, without any flourish, routs
General Debility and his malarial allies. What
Ia true of the young man is true Of the young
lady, and the whole host of sufferers. s. 8. s.

Our thanks are due Mrs. Newell B. Cool

bouquet from her cactus which has thirty
blossoms on it at the present time. and is
very rare plant. There are cactuses and
csciuses. Nearly 800 species are known. but
the real number is probably much greater.
During the War when the Union troops were
'.sojering, on Ship Island, the cactuses there
were as common thistles here and about as
much priced. But those were of the mean
kind. Other kinds such Mrs. Coolidges.

cannot be surpassed in those qualities which

Not long ago prominent merchant
who committed suicide left anote stating
that his reason for the act was that he
was tired OF doing the same things over
every day. The monotony Of life had be.
come uncomfortable TO him. 1t hardly
seems sufficient reason for so desperate
a resort as suicide. yet, IL the truth were
known, it is probably the one reason for
many of the suicides that occur among
particular sorts of people in middle life,
and this is the period of life when suicides
are most frequent. After men have
reached the hopefulness Of youth and be-
fore they have reached the resignation Of
age, II is then existence becomes very
dull thing; 10 dress and undress at the
same hour S65 times a year. To sit reg
uiarly, at regular hours, at the same
table and consume the same viands; 10

bargains, perform the same duties, do

ton. with little prospect OF variation, till
death supervenes and brings it all 30 an
end, offers not bright outlook But it
is the reality of life-to most lives-and
the higher the race rises in civilization
the further the division OF labor goes. the
greater becomes the monotony. Each
worker learns to do some one thing and
continues TO do it and does it over and
over, year after year. But this sort of
feeling is experienced only by persons
who are filled with nervous energy, who

or the exactions of the ordinary duties OF
life. Such person would ill the role OF
an explorer, wanderer, a seeker of adven-
lures. in strange lands, caring little
whittier his progress led, if only it be TO
the realization of change, the finding of
something new. To such constitution
and temperament the monotony of pros
perity would be as unbearable as the mo.
notony of a narrow fortune and exacting
daily labor. There are places for such
restless spirits IL they could always secure
them. For such there might be in store
something more or less brilliant aud
distinguished, although they would be-
most likely to realize the meaning of the
proyerb about the rolling stone. True,
life is prosy and monotonous enough,
but not too much SO for most people.
The urgent demands Of practical exist
ence do not leave much time for romance,
but nevertheless there are still hooks and
corners into which the light of fairy land
shines. while few hearts are denied the
delights Of love, the consultations
Of friendship, and the stimulating in-
huencesof duty and devotion to principle.
But all can neither be heroes nor saviors
any more than that all can be monsters
of depravity. Most of us have to be
commonplace persons. Let us be thank

HERR IIRs
MARY EMMA LEE.
VINO WAS
KILLED by INDIANS
ON THIS SPOT. AFTER A HEROIC
DEFENSE, IN July. 1867

As 200 cavalrymen grouped around
that lonely grave every man uncovered
his head in reverence for the dead, and
the story of that young womans death
has never been told around a camp fire
in the West without making mems
hearts ache.
This is. the story: There were five or
six families of immigrants journeying
across the lonely aims when they were
beset by hostile Indians. Mary Lee was
girl only is years old. and had been
brought up on the Iowa line. The family
consisted of father mother, two sisters,
and brother The attack was made
very suddenly, and Mary, who was riding
her own horse, was cut of from the
band. When she realized this she turned
and rode away and was pursued by seven
Indians. This was about y O'clock in the
morning. Her horse carried her SO miles
before he became exhausted, and when
he fell she made her way to the crest Of
the mound and there scooped out shall
low rifle pit, piled stone uparound ir, and
prepared to die fighting.
The Indians were three miles behind
her when her horse gave out. She had
light Winchester rifle, which was fully
loaded, but no extra cartridges. Her first
shot killed an Indian and her second
crippled another for life. The other tive
dared not charge her position. On the
second day the killed Indian and the
other four posted themselves in positions
aud waited for hunger and thirst TO con-
quer her. On the third day they were
joined by 20 of their baud, but the gid
was not attacked. On this day an In
dian, who was creeping up to spy on her
was shot through the right lung, aud the
others contented themselves by dropping
a fire at long ranges to harrass her.
On the fourth day not shor was fired.
The weather was terribly hot and the
sun glared down on that mound until the
grass withered and shriVeled and seemed
about to flame up. On the fifth day an
hour after noon, the girl shot herself
through the head and was dead before
anyone reached her. l afterward talked
with one of the warriors who was there
and he told me that she had been almost
roasted alive by that fierce sun. She had
Oeiltl6r IOOu nor Ofhlk dtu was little pct
ter than skeleton. lue Indians simply
stood about and looked down upon her.
She had a wreath of golden hair,
but they did not take her scalp.
She had rings on her fingers, but they
left them there. They did not even
take her rife nor the saddle from her
dead horse.
White squaw heap brave fight hard
mo scalp"
That was her eulogy. Two or three
years later her scattered bones were col
lected and buried by surveying party,
and to-day her dust mingies with the
sterile soil so miles from the nearest
dwelling of one of her race.
Bronzed and bearded Indian fighters,
reckless and desperate cowboys, stern
faced and taciLurn pioneers have whis-
pered the name of Mary Lee around the
evening camp fire thousand times since
her death, but ever and always with
gentle tongue and swelling of the heart.
She was not only woman. but she died
