Down In thevailey the lumb'rous trees Droop, heavily jeweiled with fallen rain ; And a spicy -sscntcd, tremulous breeze In ripples crosses the bending Krain. The winding river, like silver, gleams Through dreamy vistas that melt and fade, And the sunlight, falling iu slanting beams, ""strikes deep in the heart of the forest shade.

The tapering cedar, like a spear, Shoots out' of the cliff, whore stands revealed The rocky leds-e; and the herd appear Like spots of color within the field. And braided banners of clouds are seen To fiercer Hum, as with sudden shame ; While tho vale below and the hills between Arc drowned In a yellow mist of flame, And a farmer's 1hv, all aglare with liht.

"Just you wr.ik in and make your pclf to hum wLilnt I call Ilalph. lie's my nephew, down here from college, rusticating round awhile for his narves. It'll do him rood to drive you over." ' This wes the first knowledge of the existence of such a person as Farmer ilm s nephew, and here it will be well, perhaps, to explain how we came to make the acquaintance of Farmer Ihll himself, borne six months pre viou.s lamer ami niotner naa rrone abroad for their health, leaving Grace and myscif together with cousin Frank to the care cf Arabella, our uigniiieu olJer sitter. Arabella was a widow, still in her weeds, a little prim naturally, and wiin aa outer crust of coldness which grief and black robes had failed to soften, yet so true hearted and con scicntious that our parents feltentire ly sio in trusting us to her during their absence. They had talked of taking Grace with them, but we could not bear to be separated, for we were twins, Grace and I; you would never gct sti it, though; wcr.re unlike, Grace beinj filiort and plump, with a face like a ripe peach, and paleish golden hair, and the purring ways of n pet kitten, wliilc 1 am just her opposite in looks and temperament and far more n trial, I fear, to Arabella's pa tience. Cut Arabella's greatest trial in those days was our cousin Frank. Dear c hild, she would not for the world have been a trial to any one, but it was ju.-t as impossible for her to conform to Arabella s strict notion of propriety as it would be for a hum ming bird to put on the stateliness of a swan. . She was nothing unless she could be herself, and Arabella was forever trying to remodel her. Left an orphan before she was ten vears old, she had been adopted bv a dot ing aunt, who, otter doing all in her power to spoil the girl fortunately not one easily spoiled died, and left her heir to a neat little fortune.- Since then she has been with us, and we love her ia spite of the fact that wherever she was, she jvas the cen tre of attraction. We Iiad been boarding all winter with Arabella's mother-in-law, a styl ish, matronly woman who, having for Arabella's sake, consented to take us into the family, felt it her duty to devote herself to our entertainment. And a gay season had been the re sult readings, receptions, and par ties followed each other in so quick succession that by spring we were heartily tired of fashionable life. "How pleasant it would be if we could only go to the country for a while," said Frank, half burying her face in a bunch of Arbutus which, bought that morning of a little flower girl at the door, had been whispering to us all day of the far away woods where its home had been. "Why not take a lodge in the wil derness and try housekeeping? said 1, with a sudden inspiration. "Wouldn't it be splendid?" cried Frank, catching at the idea with en thusiasm. I "Splendid!" echced Grace, warmly. ".My dear girls, you do not know iwhat rou tre talking about," said Arabella in alarm. "Indeed we do," said Frank. "I, for one, am hungry for country air." "And I." "And I," chimed Grace and my self. "Put there are so many inconveni ences attending country life," expos tulated Arabella, seeing that Frank at least was in downright earnest "Kerosene oil, for instance, said the mother-in-law, ageravatingly. "And such swarms of mosquitoes," added Arabella. "I am sure we have mosquitoes enough in town," said Frank, quickly; "and as for kerosene oil, I'll agree to keep the lamps in order." "Let's go!" said I. with growing zeal. "Let's go!" echoed Grace. And so overwhelming were the arguments wc brought to bear on Arabella, that by the time the discussion ended she had yielded her consent; and before a month went by, we found ourselves actually at housciecping in a pictur esque cottage not far from Dexter station. As for the locality of Dex ter, it will not le indicated on the maps yet awhile, there being not more than six houses in the place, all told; but we like it none the less. Of course there were inconveniences, especially for the Grst two days, when owing to the non-arrival of our kitch en ware and china, we were some what puzzled to know how to furnish forth our board, but they only terred to add zest to the enterprise. "Jolly, isn't it?" said I, presiding as gracefully as possible at a battered peach can in place of a tea pot. "It is just fun," said Grace, using her fingers for a fork, as she helped herself to a eardine. "I wish you could find some more lady-like word, my dear," remarked ESTABLISHED, 1897. PA., WEDNESDAY, Arabella, colmly.sippinghertca from a terra cotta vase, and marwiging to maintain the native dignity in spite of the fact of being seated oa an in verted tub. "Jolly doesn't half express it," said Frank, taking lingering look3 at the landscape as she buttered her bread with a pen knife. "It is bless edncss itself;" and when things were fairly "put to rights," even Arabella was forced to agree with her. Une day it wa3 touna necessary for some of ns to go to town to order household supplies, and as Grace had a headache and 1-rank was still too much in love with the country to care for a sight of the city, Arbella and I decided to take tho morning express and make the needed pur chase. Y o hd fully expected to bo at home before evening, but in one way and other wo were detained un til there wa3 barely time to catch the six o'clock train. It wa3 only an hour's ride, however, and with a de licious sense of rest we shook oil the dust of the city and gave ourselves up so thoroughly to the pleasant an ticipation of soon being at home, that ;ve scarcely heard the stations called. "We must be near Dexter," said Arabella at last, rousing from a. state of semi-unconsciousness, and picking up her hand bag. 15err pardon, ma am," said a voice from behind ns, "but wc have just left Dexter." "It can't be possible!" cried I, rushing frantically to the rear of the car, and mentally wondering why in the world we had not taken the op posite 6ide where we might have seen the name even if we had failed to hear it called; but regrets are un availing, for sure enough there was Dexter receding in the dim distance like a dream ot the past. "Why, we shan't get home to-night! We must do something ! Wo must stop the train!" I ejaculated, turning to Arabella, who, after properly thankiug our informant, bad followed me at her usual dignified pace; but her undisturbed air exasperated me, and without waiting for an answer, I hurried to tho other end of the car in search of tho conductor. "There's no help for it, miss," said that polite official. "I'll put you off at the next station, that's only three mile3 on, and you can easily find some one to bnngyou back." Small consolation it was, but as the last up train had already passed us there was no alternative; and pre si-ntly we were standing forlorn and desolate on the platform of the Bed ford station, three imle3 from borne, aud the "shades of night" gathering around us with unwelcome rapidity Two unkempt boys, with their bands in their pockets, stood staring at us. "Dun know, mum," sail one of them, in answer to our anxious inquiries, "there ain't nobody round here as keeps bosses 'sept farmer Hill ;" and having pointed out farmer Hill's house, swaggered away, and left us to our own devices. A tiresome tramp across a plowed field brought us at last to the farmer's door, and here it was that we were told to walk in and makeourselvcs "to hum" till "Ralph" come to our rescue. ive minutes later the old man reappeared fanning himself vigorously with his broad brimed hat. "Here's llalph Strong; he'll take you over" Ana thi3 was our intro duction, for as he spoke a sprinp wagon drew up at the gate, and the bronzed faced driver, with a gallant bow, informed us that he was at our service. Evidently larmer Jim's nephew, whatever might be the state of his "narves," was a man of intel ligence and refinement we made that discovery before we were a mile on the way and so entertaining did he prove that, tired and hungry as we were, we were hair sorry when the ride came to an end. Frank and Grace, larmed at our long absence, were watching for us at the gate, and Arabella, with gracious cordiality, introduced the stranger, explaining in an inside way who he was. Of course, we invited him in, and though, in consideration of the lateness of the hour, he politely declined, he promis ed to do himself the pleasure of call ing in a few days. "He is very gentlemanly and agree able, " said Arabella, witb emphasis, as, seated at the table, we narrated the events of the day; and it must be confessed that wfe were all rather elated at the prospect of having our solitude invaded now and then by this same gentlemanly and agreeable person. Levond the simple fact that he wa3 farmer Hill's nephew from college, we knew nothing whatever about him, but his face and voice were of themselves sufficient to inspire confi dence, and before many weeks went by we had come to regard him as our right band man. Arabella consulted him on all matters of business, and Grace and I were constantly asking his advice about gardening, while Frank, who had set her heart on raising a brood of chickens, held an imated conferences with him as to the best ways of promoting the health and happiness of her feathered pets; at least when tho two sat for half an hour at a time ontbe back porch in the twilight watching the little creat ures nestling under the mother's wings, it was naturally to be suppos ed that they formed the chief subjene of discussion. "It is hardly polite to trouble Mr. Strong so much about those chickens, Frances," Arabella would say. "A college man is not supposed to be very familiar with the raising of poultry." .. "Then it is high time he turned his attention to it," said Frank, with mischief lurkfng in her eyes. Another case of annoyance to our elder Bister was the simplicity of Frank's toilets. "I do wish, dear Frances, that you would make " yourself look a little stylish. These young collegians are not accustomed to Becing ladies dress ed like kitchen girls." . But Frank declared that half the pleasure of living in the country was the privilege of dispensing with style, and persisted in wearing calico dress es and white aprons. 1 don't think Arabella bad the least inclination to try match-making or anything of the sort, she was sim ply anxious to have her three girls make a good impression; but her anxiety was oppressive, and I, as JULY 29, 1S74. well as Frank, occasionally rebelled. Mr. strong, I wa3 sure, was too sen sible to like us any better in silk dresses and panniers than in plain calico. Sol followed i rank s exam pie, and certainly the calico did not seem to disturb him in the least. 1 don t Know what we should have done without him that summer. It wa3 lonely enough at times as it was, for our neighbors were so scattered that we saw but little of them, and even our city friends oeldom came for more than a day's stay, so the young man's visit3 were doubly welcome. In addition to being an entertaining talker he was a fine singer, and was ahavs ready to join U3 in a song; he brought tho newest book3 and revived our love of botany bv constant contribu tions of wild Dowers, and regularly on Sunday evening he escorted us all to church. So the summer waned and autumn came, and we began to fear that our pleasant friend would soon be leaving us for college. Once or twice we had broached the subject, but he seemed inclined to be a little reserved about it, and we let it drop. "I don't see why he has got to go at all," said Grace, "he knows enough now." lie is certainly very intelligent for a man of his age," said Arabella, "but of course he wants to finish his studies. I wonder what he intends to be. It is strange he does not tell usmo.'c ia regard to himself and his plans. Mav be I rank can tell us, ' said Gracie, archly. A curious little smile was plavmg around Frank's mouth. "He left college a year ago, and is expecting soon to take a partner and business, I benve," she said demurely. Arabcila looked up in surprise. "Why, I thought his uncle spoke as if he were still a student" Thero was some mistake about that, I think," said Frank. "The farmer was speaking of his nephew, Ralph Hill, not of Ralph Strong." "And who 13 Ralph Strong, then:" asked Arabella in amazement. "Ralph Strong is farmer Hill's hired man," said Frank, just as if the fact was something to bo proud of. "What!" cried Arabella sharply. "He is farmer Hill's hired man," repeated Frank. "The impudent puppy!" exclaimed Arabella, completely thrown oQ" her dignity by this startling announce ment. "Wouldn't 'base impositor' be a more appropriate terni V suggested Frank tormentingly.-f v "He certainly cannot expect us to receive him any longer as a guest, Arabella wect on, amendment. ignoring the "We might possibly receive him as one of the family, though," said Frank, turning to the window to hide her blushes. A dim perception of the truth be gan to draw on Arabella. "It is not possible that he has had the assurance to ask you to marry him ?" she said freeziogly. "Why not? He loves me and I love him," said Frank, bravely. This wa3 a little too much. No words could adequately express our consternation, and we all three sat and gazed at her in silence. "It is just too bad!" sighed Grace, at last, with tears in her eyes. "It's going to spoil all our nice times." "It is a very unpleasant mistake from beginning to end," said Ara bella, with an effort to compose her self; "but it proves conclusively that Ralph Strong, whatever else he may be, ia no gentleman." "lou are wrong there," cried Frank, with flashing eyes, and then like the true woman she i3, she brave ly took up the absent one's defense. It seems that the nephew, Ralph Hill, whom the farmer went to call on that memorable evening, was absent at that time. So Ralph Strong was sent m his -place. Accepting our cordial invitation to visit us, without the least suspicion that we were tak ing him for other than he wa3, he had come and gone in blissful ignorance, until one evening, while confiding to Frank some bits of personal history, he chanced to discover the mistake we were making, and was eager at once to explain ; but Frank, partly for fear the explanation would put an end to his coming, begged him to keep quiet for a while. "So the fault is all mine," she said, "and now you may call him what you like farmer Hill's nephew or farmer Hill's hired it i e - man to me ue is, anu uas ueen jrom the first, simply Ralph Strong, the truest and best man I have ever known." And all Arabella's arguments fail ed to convince her that plowing and reaping for farmer Hill had in any way lessened bis manhood, or teat in marrying a iarmer sne wouiu oe dooming herself to a life ot dailv drudgery. So there was nothing more to be said. She was of age, and had a perfect right to do as she pleased ; but it seemed so odd that Frank, who had refused more offers than she could remember, was, after all, going to marry farmer Hill's hired man. It came to light a little later that he was himself the owner of a hand some farm, and had hired himself to farmer Hill chiefly for the purpose of learning how to manage it, having discovered on leaving college that be knew far more of astronomy than of agriculture ; but even this molifying fact could not restore Arabella's com posure. Father and mother came home in the fall, and all went back to town and at Christmas there was a wed ding. Arrabella declared that it was a disgrace to the family ; but lather, who is quick at reading men, said Ralph Strong was worthy of any women, and that Frank had shown her good sense. They have been niarrisd three years now, and Grace and I go every summer to isit them. Their home is a li'.tle Eden, and Frank is as hap py as a queen. To be sure she has some care, as every wife and mother must have, but I can't see that she is one bit more of a "drudge" than any city woman, and, as for her bus band, he grows better and nobler every day, as every true man must vi ho baa a true wife to help him. JL Oj Arabella has not yet been to see them, but I don't think her injured dignity can hold out much longer, for Frank, with the sweet forgiveness of her nature, has named her baby for her, and a dantier "baby Bell" was never seen. They are going to bring her to town soou, and Grace aim 1 feel sure that she will prove a little peacemaker. Speaking of Arabella reminds me that last summer we met farmer Hill's neohew himself the other Ralph. They say ho is rich ; but, poor fellow, he is greatly to be pitied, for not only has he weak "nerves," but a weak head as well ; and even Arabella worldly minded as she is could she once see him, wotrid be quite willing to acknowledge that Frank had made a happy mistake in taking the hired man instead. BrltUhMoUe ofFlehtinir. Kicking is a favorite mode of fight ing in the northern counties of Eng land, more particularly ia Lancashire, where, as the poorer classes wear wooden clogs, a vigorous kick will frequently have fatal consequences. The most strenuous exertions have been made by the authorities to stop the vicious and cowardly habit but the punishments awarded by the law are not thought to be sumciently severe to meet the case, i logging is now proposed as the only remedy, and Parliament is to be petitioned for an act to empower magistrates to award this punishment. A police magistrate at Oldham, Lancashire, says on this subject : "The practice of violently assaulting parties in the streets at night by severe kicking has been so common of late in this vici nity, that I venture to remark that in all cases of extremely violent assaults the law would have to be rightly en forced, and if it were found to be in sufficient, additional power would have to be sought from Parlanient to order heavier punishment. My ex perience teaches me that the moral feeling.3 of the perpetrators of these crimes are so thoroughly barbarous and oblivious to everything that is kind, moral and just, their habits of na so thoroughly degraded, their homes such sinks of iniquity, that simple imprisonment is no punish ment to them. They do not feel it to be a degradation, and the only way to reach their feelings is to mete out to these ruffians as much corpo ral punishment as they mete to their victims, lou are aware that the lash has had a salutary effect upon garroters. I ho conduct of these kick ers is equally vicious and dangerous, and public opinion is stronp-ly in favor of it3 being applied as a means of punishment for crimes of this des- scnption." The Ilon.e of Bismarck. A correspondent to the Cincinnati Commercial says : In your issue of Monday, July G, is a statement, as cribed to the Larl of Shaftsbury, that "Bismarck is of Jewish extraction, and in a short article following this statement the names of several promi nent rersonarres. Cjrurin? in Euro pean and home politics, are cited to serve as collateral evidence foi the probability of this assertion. hatever may have been the re sources of the worthy Lord, upon which he founded his belief, he has evinced a lack of that discretion which distinguished the scholarly researches from the mere charlatan and sensationalist, for the means of arriving at correct information were within so easy reach of him that he could readily have availed himself of their assistance. Otto von Bismarck is the scion of a Baronial family whoso ancestors fought under the banners of the Prussian or German knights. Originally the members of this knirrhthood belonged to the powerful order of the Templars, whose colors were white and black. After the ending of the crusades they spread, particularly in France and England,-whcre they exercised great influence upon State measures, and frequently checkmated the kings. The larger portion of the German knirrhts in this order assumed, " after their return home, the name of the German Knight3, and a3 such con quered the province of present Prus sia, part of Posna and rommerania, with their Grand Warden at Marien werder, and pushed their possessions into the new Russian province of Livonia, Courland and Ingcrmon- land and the adjoining countries. The house is represented hy two branches: Bismarck-Bismark, with their dominions situated in the "Old Mark ' oi the province or saxony in Prussia, and Bismarck-Schoenhousen, with their possessions in the provin ces of Mark Brandenburg and Pom merania, Prussia. The particular features that distinguish the Teuton ics are well defined, prominent among which is the broad forehead, just as the photographic representations of Otto von Bismarck, the German Chancellor, show hini, with the re nowned bristling three hairs on his bald head. " A Neavt Bevence. " Burleigh, " the New York corre spondent of the Boston Journal writes as follows: An amusing incident occurred the other day on one of the trains from Boston to this city. The cars were crowded. An elegantly dressed woman occupied an entire seat. Her bundles, band-box and bag were piled artistically. 'She was oblivious to the fact that passen gers were rushing back and forth to obtain sittings. More than one gen tleman drew himself ur in front of the imperious dame, and silently pleaded for the vacant ppot She tanned herself leisurely, and evident ly thought that things were very comfortable a3 they were. "Is this seat occupied, madam?" said a well dressed gentleman, very politely. " Yes, it is " was the snapping re ply. The man walked on. In half an hour the door opened and in walked a tall, rough fellow, coarse as a Tolar baer. His huge beard was uncombed and stained with tobacco juice. His clothes were illy put on, and smelied of the stable. He was ungloved and braw ny, and weighed full 200. He ran his eye along the car and caught sight of the seat on which our lady was sitting. He made for it With 1GL NO. 4 great deliberation he seized 1 bundles, bandbox and bag, put them plump into the lap of the lady, and sat down in the vacant spot like one who intended to stay. If looks could have annihilated a man, there wonld have been a corpse in that car about that time. The man seemed ery much at home. He spit and striked his beard ; he threw his huge arms, and chuckled inwardly at the evident rago of tho woman. She left tho car3 at Xdw Haven, and had hardly gone be fore the gentleman who wss refused the seat reappeared. To some gen tleman who seemed to take great in terest in the proceedings, he said, " Did you see how that woman treat ed me ? " " Yes. " " Did you see how she was come up with ? " " Yea. " " Well, that man is a horso doctor that sat down beside her. He belongs to the Bull's Head. I gave him a dollar to. ride with that woman as far as she wenl. " The car roar ed. Mormon from (be Old World. The largest company of Mormons, with a single exception, which ever landed in this country, disembarked at New York from the Guion steam ship Idaho on Monday morning. The company was made up of men, women and children, and nearly 700 persons were in tho party. They have been brought togctLer from all sections of Europe, though the large majority are from the Scandinavian Peninsula. Many, too, are from Wales, and England and Scotland are each represented. There are up ward of 5o0 adults in the party, the number of men and women being about equal. Accompanying the new converts to Morminism are eight missionaries, who have for years been traveling through Europe and laboring earnestly in behalf of the cause. The chief of the mission aries i3 P. C. Carstensen, who is a Dane by birth. He came to Ameri ca and settled in the Mormon country many years ago, and afterward re turned to his native country and en tered upon his labors. He ha3 been successful, and attributes the con version of a considerable portion of the party arriving yesterday to his own efforts. For tho past few years he has had charge of the Scandina vian mission, and will return to the old country at an early day. His fellow-missionaries too are nearly all Scandinavians, who came to this country many year3 ago, embraced the Mormon faith, became ardent disciples of it, and returned to mrge their countrymen to lead a similar life. The party remained in New York Monday night, and started for the Salt Lake region Tuesday morn- iLg via the Pennsylvania Railroad Nearly a third of the party received prepaid tickets for their passage from their friends already in Utah. An other party of .Mormon3 will arrive near the close of the present month, but it will be small and will be com posed mostly of Swiss. A large del egation is already making prepara tions for the passage in the autumn. Old Ilirkorjr'a Pistols. "D. " who has been writing Borne interesting reminiscence for the Frank fort (Ky.) Patriot, contributes tbis to the last issue: I saw some time ago a brace of du elling pistols in the possession of Thomas Rutherford, of Sumner coun ty, Tennessee. They were steel bar rels, fluted within, and highly orna mented with silver. The history I received of them was as follows : Many years before the brilliant tri umphs of the war had lifted General Jackson high above all competitors into the Presidental chair as the Chief Executive of the nation, it was bis custom to have some one to take his place in the dirty street broils which might come up. At the time to which I refer, one Ferguson was the man a regular knock down and drag out sort of a fellow, dreaded by all who were ever so unfortunate as to come into contact with him. An Uncle of Col. Rutherford, by the same name, visited Nashville to sell a pair of match horses. Ferguson offered to purchase them on a short ciedit and to give General Jackson as security. This arrangement was made and the horses were his. Before Mr. R. left Nashville he learned the character of the man with whom be had traded, was told that if he ever asked for the money or the note which he had received for the horse?, Ferguson would whip him. It happened that Rutherford was a rough customer nothina suited him better than a ground scuffle in defence of his rights, and so he was impatient for the day of the coming conflict Early on the morning the note fell due, Rutherford visited Nashville, saw the same man F., presented his note for payment, telling him at the same time what he had heard of him, and further said to him that, if he didn't pay the money right away, he would thrash him like a dog. A word and the blow followed. Never was a man more thoroughly thrashed than Ferguson on that occa sion ; in fact, he wn3 supposed to be dead for a time. This aroused the General's sympathies for bis man who had received such a cudgeling, and to resent it was his first impulse, but in a fistcuff he would be only a child in R's hands, and so challenged him to fight a duel next morning, distance, ten paces. Though R. had no experience with fire arms, he instantly accepted the challenge. At the appointed hour all parties were at the place of rendezvous. All preliminaries made, the distance measured, the positions taken, the words one two at this juncture Jackson, who was a dead Bhot, hav ing eyed hi? antagonist closely, saw there wa3 no flinching in him, but that he was as cool and deliberate as if nothing was occuring, stepped for ward and addressed Rutherford ; By the Eternal, sir, I would despise my self to sacrifice such noble material as you are made of. Sir, please ac cept these pistols from one who ever admires true courage and pluck, such as you have to-day demonstrated, and accept them from me aa an evi dence of my appreciation of you as a man who dares to defend his rights. General Jsckson paid the money dueon Ferguson'3 note. Ever after wards tho Rutherford family have been Jackson's supporters, and none lamented his death more than ihev The pistol will be kept in the family forever 83 priceless souvenira. Tho Treatment or ftoatkv. A physician writes aa follows to the Philadelphia Evening Stan A business man rushes from his coanticg room and devours a half-masticated dinner. This he washes down with a considerable quratity of Ice water, and, having seized his hat, ho run9 to his counting-room again. He seek'3 the shady side of the 6treet, with the impression that here he is safe from a sunstroke; but he forgets that his imperfectly-masticated din ner, the excess of water, the excess of muscular exertion is creating great excitement in hi3 blood. . And al though he is in the shade, he might as well be iu the sun at 9Sa, for the effects are tho same vertigo, dizzi ness, colors before the eyes, blue, red, green; nausea, stupor and death ! Ia fact he has received a pure sunstroke, undiluted. This is not exaggeration, and the above instance has been merely to illustrate the disease more fully. Those who have never seen a sunstroke could not at first distin guish much difference between it and apoplexy. Dissection, however, re veals a dissimilarity, and hence differ ent treatments have necessarily been adopted. Thus sunstrokes are treat ed under the impression that there is an excess of blood on the brain, and this blood must be, of course, re moved. We employ the following means. Elevate the head, remove the cloth ing, expose to the cool air, and if he has ceased breathing, or is uncon scious, induce artificial respiration. Cold water should be among the first remedies. Apply this frequently and continually to the head and heart, and place the feet in hot mustard water. This will induce the blood from th head; while it is beneficial to give stimulating drinks. If water or ice is not at hand, a cooling mixture can be made by mixing alcohol, borax and camphor together, and applying it directly to tho head or breast When tho symptoms abate he should bo removed to a cool, cheerful room, where, having discharged all indiges tible substances from the stomach, be has some hopes of becoming better. Dyspetic persons should never ven ture too much ia the sua, and it is exhibiting much temerity for persons of plethoric habit o body to be engaged much on the wa ter. Rich living, heavy food, pecially meat and indigestible food generally, Bhould be eschewed in warm weather. The head should be confined in a light bat, with green; the hair should be kept cut, the body kept clean; the pores open; but, at the same time, excessive perapiration should be prevented, a3 it induces ex haustion, and it generally happens that sunstrokes are received when the body is exhausted. Flannel should be worn about the body, for the rea son that it serves to repress tho per spiration from coming to the surface too rapidly; but when it id required to prevent excessive perspiration the following bath may be used with advantage: About a quart or a pint of rock Bait should be placed in about seven or eight gallons of water; a little alum should bo added, and the body should then bo bathed thoroughly. Neighbor Jaober. Neighbor Jauber weighs about two hundred, and has a decided objection to being cheated. When he buys a pound of tea, he is careful to get good weight One day he went to the wharf to get a ton of coal, and he in sisted, after assuring himself that the scales were well adjusted, upon see ing it weighed, for coal dealers some times make mistakes. The team was driven upon the platform scales, Jau ber stood by to watch the figures. "Twenty-two hundred weight of coal," said the dealer, with a wink to the bystanders. . "Rather short," haggled the buyer. "Throw in a little more, and I will take the load." The obliging dealer complied, and the scale was again examined. "All right, I am satisfied with that You coal dealers don't al ways give good weight," grinned Jauber. Drive on, John ; stop in the street," added the seller, and he took Jauber into the counting-room, where the bill was paid. Are you perfectly satisfied ? "Perfectly: I like to look after these things myself." "Well, Bir, I should say you had cheated yourself out of 200 pounds of coal by looking after these things yourself." " V hat do you mean ?" The dealer ordered his teamster to back on the Bcalea again, and to the astonishment of Jauber the words were verified. "I don't understand it," added the buver. I do; you stood on the Rcalea yourself, while you were watching me. I have Bold you for so much coal. But you are satisfied, don't be so sharp next time," laughed tne dealer. Jauber was confounded, but had not the assurance ty demand a revis ion of the transaction. Tk BUtk lliflo KspMlitlea. General Custar's expedition is now well on its way to those mysterious and unknown regions of the north west known as the Black Hills coun try a district held by the Sioux, and to which iiuherto these Indians nave emphatically refused admittance to white men, whether they came a soldiers or as pioneer settlers. The expedijion, comprising the Seventh Cavalry joortiona of the Sixth, Seven teenth and Twentieth Regiments of Infantry, and about one hundred friendly Sioux and Recs Indians, started for it& destination from Fort Lincoln, Dakota, last week, with Gen eral Custar in command. Lieu. Col. Fred. Grant is of the party. A corps of geologists, mineralogists and botanists also accompany the bat tallion. The milliiary train consists of 150 supply wagons, ambulances Ac. Something of the vague and legendary attaches to the Black Hills. The expeditions have in the past skirted them, but on both occasions the Indians refused their members permission to enter them. In 1SG1 Gen. Reynolds with aa exploring ex pedition passed west and south of the Black Hills; and in 1859 another expedition that was commanded by Lieut Warren was turned back by the Sioux. It ia believed, on suffi cient grounds, that gold exists in these bills in large quantities, and hence the disinclination of the Indiana to allow entrance to the white man. Appearances indicate that the Sioux, a large body of whom, a letter from Fort Lincoln says, bad already assembled to resist the advance, will make a Btont resistance to the progress of the expedition.
