To Stop THE Flow OF BLOOD
The following mode of stopping the


flow of blood should be remembered


by every one. HOusekeepers, me
chanics and others, handling knives,


tools and other instruments, frequent
Iy receive small cuts from which blood
flows prOfusely, and often endangers


life itself. Blood may be made to
cease to flow as follows: Take the
fine dust Of tea and bind it close to
the wOund-at all times accessible
and easy to be obtained. After the
blood has ceased to flow, laudanum


may be advantageOusly applied to the
wound. Due regard to these instruc-
tiOns would save agitation of mind,
and running for a surgeon, who prob
ably would make no better prescrip-
ton if he were present.

A whole family in heaven! Who
can picture or describe the everlasting
joy? No one absent. Nor father.
nor mother, nor son, nor daughter are
away. In the world below they were
united in faith, and love, and peace,
and joy. In the morning of the res
direction they assembled together.
Before the throne they bow in united
alteration. On the banks Of the River
of Life they walk hand in hand, and
as a family have commenced a career
of glory which shall be everlasting
There is here no separation in that
family. No one is to lie down upon
a bed Of pain. No one to wander in
the arms of death. Never in Heaven
is that family to move along in the
slow procession, clad in the habili-
ments Of woe, to cOnsign one of its
members to the tomb. God grant
that, in His infinite mercy, every fam
lily may be thus united Rev. Albert

We recently stated that ''therc never
was a government with but one politi-
cal party that did not become tyranny;
never a legislative body so constituted
that was not corrupt" AS a proof of our
assertion we referred TO the last Demo-
cratic legislature. Upon seeing this the
Independent Immediately becomes preg-
nant with an idea and thus delivers
itself:


Cant you enlarge the field of your
reference and fitly apply it TO the whole
of Uncle Sans domains as well as to
Montana Ever since Montana has been
governed by Democrats the L. =. Gov
eminent has been solely at the will and
under the power Of the Republican par
ty. The editor Of the Post has just one
way to crawl out" from the dilemma in
which his own proposition places him,
and that is to declare the Government
of the u. :. an exception to this "gen-
eral rule" Will he do it,


He will not, for having been placed in
no dilemma he has no occasion 10 crawl
out. Our remark fifty applies to the
whole of Uncle Sans domains without
any enlargement. The Government OF
the United States has more than one
political party. and always will have.
Congress the Legislative body of the
Union, also showed Conclusively at the
impeachment trial that il contained
more than one party. of course one par
ty or the other must be in power, but il
is only such unopposed power as that
possessed by the last Montana legisla-
ture which insures corruption. The In
dependent should put on its glasses, and
whereof it speaks, and not rely for ecldt

E The heels of fashionable shoes worn
by ladies are so small at the bottom as to Of:
ford little or no support to the ankles. This
in part accounta for the peculiar walk of
those who wear them, and this is causing
many weak and sprained ankles for which
there is no cure. An ankle once sprained is
ever after liable to be injured by very slight
cause. No lady who values her comfort in

The ELDER BEEcHER. DIR. Lyman Beechcr,
the father of the Rev. Ward Beecher, and
Mrs. Stowe, was going home one evening, when
he saw small animal in his path, which, on
approaching, he found to be skunk. Instead
of getting away from it however, as fast as he
could, he imprudently fired a large volume, he
had under his arm, at its head. The animal
returned fire in its own peculiar way, and the
DR.. was forced to retreat. On his reaching
home, none of his friends could come near him,
and he was forced to bury his clothes. Some
time afterwards, some one wrote boo K against
him, filed with low abuse, and an indignant
friend asked him, Why don't you write a
pamphlet against the fellow, and put him down
at once?'' He reply was prompt and wise
Some years ago 1 issued a whole quarto
volume against skunk, and l got the worst Of

NEWSPAPERS FOR THE TINES the New
York Sun, few days ago, there was practl-
cal reference to the necessity Of giving news
and intelligence to the readers of newspapers
IN these days, in the most condensed form. On
this subject the Philadelphia Ledger, journal
successfully carrying out the plan, we'll says:


"There was time in the history of news
napers is this country when the chief aim Of
journalism seemed to be to spread whatever IN
Itelgence it had to convey, over the greatest
possible space of paper. The labor was to
make great deal out Of a very little, and very
frequently to try to make something out or
lust nothing at all. The search tor what is
really valuable among such masses OF words IS
like that which is set down in one OF the great
books as seeking In bushel OF chat tor
single kernel of wheat The day when news
papers could command success upon such
system has gone by. Americans are too ouslly
engaged in the practical affairs OF life, and
time With them is too precious 10 allow them
to waste it in pursuing through whole column
the news or the facts which may be and should
he condensed into small paragraph. The
first object of the busy man in these days is to
discover what is worth knowing in the news OF
the Gay, III tle SuOII ~ ooaA no Iou oi'N w
his newspaper. Hence, the journal that puts
its news in the most compact and accessible
form is the one of greatest value. Such news
papers, too, are those which are of the highest
advantage to advertisers, because they are the
papers that are reazly read, those OF other
kinds often being merely glanced at until the
mind is wearied Of the great mass of matter,
and are then thrown aside. These are the
papers, too, that are read by families of all
classes, and all parties, and all persuasions,
and thus enable advertisers to reach the home
circles, which, after all, are the places they
should carefully seek to reach. Newspapers
of this kind, when otherwise well conducted,
are sure to command not only temporary but
permanent success, and largest circulation.

BEEF CATTLE SHOULD BE FAT.-Farmers
sell too many of their beef cattle when they in
merely ordinary beef condition. In doing this
there is two-fold loss that but few consider.
The animal yields less number of pounds aud
the meat brings lowerpr Between ordinary
beef and really choice, fat beef, there is always
difference of two or three cents per pound, and
this difference, when added to the whole number
of pounds when the animal is in the best condi-
tion, will be found to be no mean amount.
Nothing pays better than the few bushels OF
grain or the few days upon good June grass, that
puts the finishing touch upon what is generally
denominated good beef animal. Those OF our
readers who have followed this often repeated
advice in our live stock market reports are wit
nesses to its soundness. Do not he In a hurry
