Gisnenr and Other Herbs.

Ginseng is alow-growing herbaceous
plant, with a single stem about a foot
high or less, on the top of which there
are three petioles or leaf stalks, each
of these bearing five leaflets, hence
the specific name of this species, viz,
Aralia quinquefolia. The flowers are
produced on a short stem above the
whorl of terminal leaves, and are
small and of greenish white color, and
these are succeeded in autumn by
small clusters of bright red berries.
The roots are thick and feshy, the
largest about the size of a mans
thumb, but tapering to a point at the
lower end. They have a spicy and
somewhat agreeable aromatic taste.
The best time to gather these roots is
in the fall and winter, for at this sea-
son they are firm and solid, and their
location can be readily determined by
the old stalks and withered leaves,
which remain IN position until beaten
down by snow or rain. There is a
steady and increasing demand for the
dried roots, the price advancing as
the supply decreases from year to
year in our forests. Large quantities
are gathered in the mountains ofNorth
Carolina. New York Sun.

Forgetting is forgiving.
A light heart lives long.
Marriage is loves sacrifice.
Don't try to pump out the sea.
A good deed needs no applause
A kiss is a song without words.
Covetousness boards itself poor.
Sunshine is the leaven of living.
Love teaches us the pleasure of pain.
All true love is grounded on esteem.
Friendship depends largely on funds
Speech is q deformity in some peo-
pie.
A woman's smile can make q burden
light.
Love is contagious, epidemic and
incurable.
What the rosebud promises it does
not fulfill.
You cannot play false, and yet
rightly win.
Help the deserving, not al those
who appeal.
It is wonderful how near conceit is
to insanity.
Suspicion paves the road to misun-
derstanding.
1t is not the longest life that has
the most in it.
People are so much alike they should
be better friends.
When two ride the same horse, one
must ride behind.
Love and necessity are the only
cures for l~aziness.
1t is seldom that a woman thinks SC
without saying so.
We rarely find as much in a dollar
as we think there is.

Increased Use Of Mutton.

It is not altogether the chespness Of
mutton that is leading people to use
it more freely. They have learned
that it is an excellent and healthful
meat and the consumption of mutton
in the United States is ak times as
great in 1893 as il was in 1887. We
are undoubtedly killing of sheep faster
than their natural increase. This
must lead 20 increasing scarcity Of fat
sheep for mutton, and higher prices
for the mutton when marketed. Sheep
cannot be increased very rapidly at the
best, and if our stock becomes de-
pleted it takes several years TO build
il I'D again. Boston C~ultiystor.

And the nights with their grief and gloom,
And the sky viii smile. and the stars will

And well lay US down in the light to dream
We shall lay us down in the bloom and light
With a prayer aud a tear for rest,
As tired children who creep at night
To the love Of q mothers breast.
And for all the grief Of the stormy past,
Rest shall be sweeter al last-at last
Sweeter because Of the weary way
And the lonesome night and long,
While the darkness drifts 20 the perfect day
With its splendor otlight and song.
The light that shall bless US and kiss us and

And sprinkle the roses OF heaven above us,

alarmed, but anxious to meet the In
dams, who have become very threaten

man they see, and the ranchers give
the Indians the same treatment. Mr..
Teter said to your correspondent;
The settlers are thoroughly alarmed
and they surely have good reason to
BE-. The Indians look upon the killing
of their warriors as nothing short of
murder and are now undoubtedly pre-
pairing to avenge their deaths. There
are no large camps of Indians at pres
ent in Jackson's Hole proper, but
was reliably informed that there are
from 200 to 500 camped in the Fan
River valley, thirty-f1ve miles south.
There are Indians, however, scattered
all through the country, and it is not
safe for white men to go out alone.

BREAKWATER, Del. July 24.-Cap-
tain Quick, of the American schooner
Carrie Z. Lane. upon her arrival here
tonight, had a tale to tell about a
thrilling encounter in Cuban waters
with a Spanish gunboat. Two shots
were fired at the Lane by the man
of-war, and one of the schooner's crew
narrowly escaped being killed by one
of them. The vessel was made to
heave to and give an account of her
self before being allowed to proceed.
The schooner was off Port Antonio,
and making good time before q, stiff
breeze when, On the 18th inst, she
sighted a steamer flying the Spanish
flag following her. While he was MAX
ing up his mind what course to pur-
sue, a puff Of smoke curled over the
strangers port bow and a round shot
whistled uncomfortably close TO the
schooner's main mast and plunged into
the water on the lee quarter. Captain
Quick gave the order TO haul in sail
and bring the vessel to. While this
was being done one Of the crew ran
out on the bow spirit. As ne stood
there the gun on the Spanish wal Sill y
doomed again and another Shot sped On
its way towards the american craft,
this time coming SO close 10 her that
the sailman on the bOwsprit swearS
he distinctly felt the wind caused by
it's rapid flight. The Lane soon came
to a dead stop and the gun boat drew
up under her quarter. \ boat was
lowered and the four Spanish marines,
under the command OF a lieutenant in
the Spanish navy, came aboard. They
were fully armed and their leader very
civiay lifted his hat and demanded 10
know from what port the Lane had
sailed and whether she was bound.
Captain Quick gave the required in
formation, and no further search was
made and the vessel was permitted to
continue on her course without further
molestation. Captain Quick says he
could not get the name of the gunooat.
He adds that after the first shot was
fired at the Lane he caused the stars
and stripes to be hoisted, but the only
response the Spanish made was a sec
ond shot. The gunboat did not hoist
her colors until after the first shot was
fired. Captain Quick reached here d.
night and wired his agents in Phiiadel-
phia and will await advices from them
before determining upon whether to
consider the action of the Spaniards as
an outrage.

Of Senator John Sherman's interview

world. This dollar was agreed to by
both houses and was in the bill when
1t went to the conference committee.

Indians Rights.

The following clause Of the treaty
whereby the Bannock Indians weic
located upon their present reservation
Shows the right Of the Indians to hunt
in Wyoming;
The Indians herein named agree
that they will make said reservation
their permanent homes, and they Will
make no permanent settlement else
where, hut they shall have the right
to hunt on the unoccupied lands OF the
United States so long as game may be
found thereon and SO long as peace ex-
lists among the whites and Indians on
the borders of the hunting grounds.
The treaty was made in July, 1858.
The policy OF the Indian bureau OF
late years has been to persuade tne
indians to use this hunting privilege
as sparingly as possible. but the ex-
istence of their right. ii is said at the
Indian bureau, is unquestiorable. Now
that trouble has broken out, the hunt
ing privilege IS suspended by the
terms of the treaty, and the Indian OF
fee has ordered the Indians back to
their reservation.
