Rocky Mountain Jim.
A verj* pretty mare, hobbled, was
feeding; a collie dog barked at us, and
among the scrub, not far irotn the
track, there was a rude, black log cab
in. as rough as it couhl be to be a shel
ter at all, with smoke coming out of
the roof and window We diverged to
ward It; it mattered not that it was the
home, or rather the den, of a notorious
"ruffian" and "desperado." One of
my companions had disappeared hours
before, the remaining one was a town
bred youth, I longed to speak to some
one who loved the mountains. 1
called the hut a den —it looked like the
the den of a wild beast. The big dog
lay outside it in a threatening attitude,
and grow let!. The mud root was cov
ered with lynx, beaver and other furs,
laid out to dry, beaver paws were
pinned out 011 the logs, a part of the
earcass of a deer hung at one end of the
cabin, a shinned beaver lay in front ot
a heap of peltry just within the door,
and sfntlers of deer,old horse shoes and
ofl'al of many animal* laj* about the
den. Housed by the growling of the
dog, his owner came out, a broad, thick
set man, about the middle height, with
an old cap on his head, and wearing
a gray hunting-suit much the worse
tor wear (almost falling to pieces in
fact), a digger's scarf knotted round
his waist, a knile in his belt, and a
"bosom friend" —a revolver—sticking
out of the breast pocket of his coat; his
feet, which were very small, were bare
except for some dilapidated moccasins,
made of horse-hide. The marvel was
how his clothes hung together on him.
The se'arf round his waist must have
had something to do with it. llis
face was remarkable. He was a man
about forty-live, and must have been
strikingly handsome. He had large
gray-blue eyes, deeply set, with well
marked eyebrows, a handsome aquiline
nose, and a very handsome mouth
llis face was smoothly shaven, except
lor a dense mustache and imperial.
Tawny hair in thin uncared-for curls,
fell from under his hunter's cap and
over his collar. One eye was entirely
gone, ami the loss of it mad e one side
of the face repulsive, while the other
might have been 11. odele ' in marble.
"Desperado" was written in large let
ters all over him. I almost repented
oi having sought his acquaintance.
His first impulse was to swear at the
dog, but, on seeing a lady, he contented
himself with kicking him, and coming
up to me lie raised his cap, showing as
he did so a magnificently formed brow
and head, and in a cultured tone ot
voice asked if there were anything lie
could do for me? 1 asked for some
water, and he brought some in a bat
tered tin, gracefully apologizing for
not having anything more presentable.
We entered into conversation, and as
he spoke 1 forgot both his reputation
and appearance, for liis manner was
that of a chivalrous gentleman, his ac
cent refined, and his language easy and
elegant. I inquired about some bea
ver's paws which were drying, and in
a moment they hung on the horn of
my saddle. Apropos of the wild ani
mals of the region, he told me that the
loss of his eye was owing to a recent
encounter with a grizzly bear, which,
after giving him a deatli hug, tearing
him all over, breaking his arm and
scratching out his eye, had left him lor
dead. As we rode away, lor the sun
was sinking, he said, courteously,
"You are not an American. 1 know
from your voice that you are a
countryman of mine. 1 hope you will
allow me the pleasure ol calling on
you? This man, known through the
Territories and bej-ond them as "Rocky
Mountain Jim," or more brielly, as
"Mountain Jim," is one of the famous
scouts of the plains, and is the origi
nal of some daiing portraits in fiction
concerning Indian warfare. So far a
-1 have at present heard he is a man for
whom there is now no room, for the
time for blows and blood in this part of
Colorado is past, and the fame of many
daring exploits is sullied by crimes
which are now easily forgiven here.
He now has a "squatter's claim," but
makes his living as a trapper, and is a
complete child ot the mountain. Ot
his genius and chivalry to women
there does not appear io be any doubt,
but he is a desperate character and is
subject to "ugly fits," when people
think it best to avoid him. It is re
garded here as an evil that he located
himself at the mouth of the only en
trance to the Park, for he is danger
ous with his pistols, and it would be
safer if lie was not here His beset
ting sin is indicated in the verdict
pronounced on him by my host:
"YYhea he's sober Jim's a perfect
gentleman; but when he's had liquor
he's the most awful ruffian in Colora
do."
The Light of Venus and Mercury.—A
singular and most unexpected discov
ery was made at the near approach of
these two planets in September last by
Mr. James Nasmvth, an English astro
nomer. It remains to be seeen whether
photograph}' or spectrum analysis will
some day give us the key to the enigma.
The laet was then first distinctly ob
served that there is a great difference
between the degrees of brilliancy emit
ted by these two planets; and that,
while Mercury being much nearer the
sun should be more brilliant, just the
contrary happens, for Venus shines
with the greater luster. On the 26th
and 27th of September these two stars
were near enough to be embraced with
in the field of the Jens at the same time,
and Mr. Nasmyth was thus enabled to
compare the brilliancy of Venus to
polished silver, and that of Mercury to
lead or zinc. The reason of this differ
ence, which is theoretically exactly
contrary to what we should expect, is
at present unexplainable.
A KuiKious Loss.
A loss of bodily tissue, greatly in excess of
the natural daily waste which takes place in
the healthiest physical and mental structure,
and but for which waste life and youth might
be indefinitely prolonged, is entailed upon
those whose vital powers are weak and nerv
ous system fragile. To arrest this ruinous
Joss and brace the system, a course of Hostet
ter's btomacb Bitters is the proper agent.
Tone to the nerves, vigor and regularity to the
diges'ive organs and liver are among the
boons conferre 1 upon the debilitated and sick
of both sexes by this inestimable medicine,
which more than any known tonic tends to
check the progress of unnatural and prema
ture decay. Sleep, renewed relish for food
are both obtained by the nervous and dys
peptic through its use. which is also the means
of iuuriug the Hystem to eu ountei safely ma
larious atmospheric influences.
AGRICULTURE.
ADVANTAGES or AMERICAN FARMERS.
—lmportant as is the great American
staple, Indian corn, our farmers have
never made as much from it as we
should had it been properly appreciated
in the old countries. It has given the
United States the advantage in pro
ducing meats of all kinds; but it is
only within a few years that this grain
lias itself largely figured in our exports.
For the nutriment it contains corn meal
is more nutritious and fattening than
any other grain. English farmers feed
oil-cake and turnips because they can
not grow corn; but at the low rates that
corn has lately sold for, corn meal is
increasingly popular among English
cattle and sheep feeders. It has long
seemed to me that EngUh farmers
were at a disadvantage in relying so
exclusively on turnips, with their large
ncroeuiage of water, for fattening stock.
Now that American farmers are com
peting and underselling them in the
pork, beef and mutton markets, this
inferiority of the English staple feed
is made manifest. English pastures
are no doubt superior to our own lu
productiveness and richness of feed,
but in all else American farmers have
the advantage. Our cheaper lands,
however offset the superior pastures of
English fields that have never been
touched w itli the plow. Besides lam
not sure that the blue grass region of
Kentucky and some ot the annually
overflowed tlats on the Genesse have
not pastures that in excellence will
compare favorably with those of
England.
BONK DUST. —Bone dust, and barn
yard manure, does not immediately yield
up their nitrogen or phosphate aeid to
plants. The bone phosphate of lime is
insoluble- in water containing carbolic
acid. The gelatine id the bones would
scon leeoinj o ein a rnnls, porous, w arm
sou, provided it was noi protected by
the oil auu hard matter of the bones.
Steaming removes the oil, and reducing
tlie bones to as fine a condition as pos
sible is another means of increasing
their availability. Another good me
thod is to mix the bone dust with barn
yard manure and let both ferment to
gether, and 1 am inclined to think this
is the simplest and most economical
method oi rendering bones available.
The bone dust causes the heap of ma
nure to ferment more rapidly, and the
fermenation of the manure softens the
bones. Botti the manure and bones
are improved and rendered richer and
more available by the proeess. One ton
of good bone dust contains about as
much nitrogen as S'.j tons of fresh sta
ble manure. But one ton of manure
contains more potash than five tons of
bone dust.
PHYSICIANS SAY IT. —VEGKTINE gives
an equal circulation ot the blood. Ali
physicians will agree that there is
scarcely a disease but that could almost
instantly be disposed of it pure blood
could be circulated generously through
the parts affected. Now, this is the
way in which VEGKTINE performs its
wondertul cures. VEGKTINE is exclu
sively a vegetable compound, made
from roots, herbs and barks.
DWARF PEARS. —Dwarf pears have
many friends and many enemies. It is
not surprising at all. The dwarf pear
requires peculiar treatment to biing
out its qualities. Those who give it
such treatment can never become its
enemies, if they never become its
friends. We know of one persoui who,
ten years ago, ordered a goodly number
without knowing either what pears
would thrive in his section, or what
pears would thrive upon quince stock.
They were planted so that the juncture
between the pear and quince was above
ground and in small holes dug out in
sod ground. Even the circles about
the steins were not kept free of weeds
or grass. Several died years ago, and
those that remain were better dead.
The owner is an enemy of dwarf pears'
We know of another place where
dwarfs have been growing lor fifteen
years. They were set in cultivated
soil and the ground is cultivated every
year. They were set so that the
junction of the stock and scion was
three or four inches below the surface.
The main stem is washed every spring
with lime and potash. The varieties
are Seekel, Duchess, Louise, Bonne, and
Howell. The trees are in perfect
health and bear well. The owner is a
friend to dwarf pears! W.io's to b ame?

ing. A year's supply of DOBBIXS'

MEASURING THE HEIGHT OF A TREK.—
When a tree stands so that tlie length
of its shadow can be measured, its
height can be radly ascertained as
follows : Set a stick upright—let it be
perpendicular by the plumb-line.
Measure the length of the shadow of
the .-tick. A> the length of its shadow
is to the height of the stick, so is the
length of the shadow of the tree to its
height. For instance: If the stick is
four feet above the ground, and its shad
ow is six feet in length, and the shadow
of the tree is ninety teet. its height
will be sixty feet (6:5::90 :60). In
other words, multiply the length of the
shadow of the tree by the height of the
stick, and divide by the length of the
shadow of the stick.
FANCY Horses in idleness, fancy
chickens kept for their tine ornament
to the farm, and line stock for city edi
tors to visit and puff in their papers,
may do for men of plethoric purses.
But when the farm is to be run and
family supported from the prolits of the
farm a different system lias to be pur
sued. There are no easy seats and
rockaways in the corn of harvest fields.
It is he application of muscle directed
by brains wliich wins there.
POULTRY. —A breeder of poultry
says: "Every spring I procure a quan
tity of cedar boughs and scatter them
plentifully in and around the hen
house. This is all that is necessary, as
the odor of cedar keeps away lice. The
remedy is che ip, simple and effective,
and is worth trying"
To BREAK A HALTER PULLING IIORSE.
—Take ac iinmon rope or leather halter,
place it on the horse in the usual way,
then run the rope or strap through the
hole or ring where you hitch, carry the
rope to the ankle of the hind loot and
tie it; then let him try himself, and live
minutes' trial will satisfy him. It will
break up the trick altogether.

• TIIK HOUSEHOLD.
TUB RIGHT WAY TO BRUSH VELVET.
—The art of removing lint, dust and
light matter adhering to velvet con
sists In the proper mode of managing
the brush. Take a hat brush—not too
soft, but having the bristles elastic,
and returning at once to their original
state alter being passed aside—hold
firmly under the palm of the hand in
the direction of the arm, and with the
bristles downward, and pressing them
first into the substance ot the velvet,
then twist round the arm, hand and
brush all together, as on an axis, with
out moving them forward or backward.
The foreign matters will thus be drawn
up and tlirtcd out of the dock without
injury to the substance of the velvet;
and the brush must be lifted up and
placed in a similar manner over every
part required to be brushed. By this
means velvet will be Improved instead
of deteriorated, and will last for years.
To MEASURE LAND.—A well-inform
ed farmer writes that the most simple
way to measure land is to take two slats
about six feet long, sharpen one end of
each, lav them upon a floor like a pair
of open compasses, so that the points
shall be exactly five teetsix iucesapart;
now nail the other two ends together
and a piece across the middle, so that it
will look like the letter A, and the
measure is finished. To measure land,
place one point at the starting-place,
and tiie other also on the ground in u
straight line for destination; stand
along side the machine with one
hand on top of it; take one step for
ward, tip up the pjint that is behind,
swing it around (from you) on the
other point and set it in the line also.
A person in this manner can measure
correctly as fast as he can walk. Three
spaces make a rod —walk straight with
out stopping, count the spaces, divide
these by three and you have the rods.
To WASH DISHES. —If, before wetting
greasy dishes, they are sprinkled with
corn meal or rubbed oil with a small
whisk broom kept for that purpose and
dipped in a dish of corn meal, it will
leave the dish water much cleaner and
nicer for washing other dishes. The
meal with which they arc rubbed is
not wasted, a* it is just as good for the
pigs or chickens.
CHOCOLATE CREAM.— One quart of
milk, two table-spoonfuls of corn
starch, tour of grated chocolate, a little
salt, and two-thirds of a cup of sugar.
Mix chocolate and corn-starch together
with a little water, sweeten and salt
it, adding it to the milk just before it
eouiea to a boil. Boil about five min
utes, stirring constantly; add a tea
spoonful of butter, and flavor with
vanilla.
OATMEAL PORRIDGE. —Into one quart,
of perfectly boiling water, into which
a small teaspoon of salt lias been added,
stir onr tone ipful of oats,
and let them boil actively two hours.
Boil them in a double boiler, and do
not takeott' the lid or stir them until
the very last, when tUey may bestirred
thoroughly and poured into a mould.
STEWED CARROTS. —Scrape and wash
five or six good-sized carrots, slice
tliein rather thick, lay them in a sauce
pan, and just cover with colli water;
sprinkle in a little salt, and l<*t it sim
mer until soft; drain offthe water, then
pour over half a pint of good cream, a
little piece of mace, a spoon nil of but
ter, ami a little finely-chopped parsley;
let this simmer ten minutes, and serve
hot.
To expel four air from a well, heat a
large thi£k bar of iron red hot, and
lower it quickly into the water. The
sudden escape of steam torces the foul
gas upward. When a tire will burn in
a well, the air is pure.
'I'H K cost of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup
is only 25 cents. A bottle will con
vince even the most incredulous of its
excellence.
GINGER SAKCK. —HaIf pint molasses,
one pint sugar, a good lump of but
ter, a little water and ginger to taste;
boil well together.
SWEET CAKES. —Seven eggs, half
pound sugar, one pound butter, four
pounds tlour, one teaspoon soda, and
one teacup buttermilk.
JELLY CAKE. —Six eggs, one pound
each of flour and sugar, half pound but
ter, one teaspoon baking powder, and
half a teacup sweet milk.
Silvering Mirrors. —The plan of
coating mirrors with a thin film of sil
ver, though superior to the old amalga
mating process, has some drawbacks.
The ordinary treatment is as follows:
The glass is laid on a horizontal table of
cast-Iron covered with a woolen cloth
and heated to 40 deg. Centig. (104 deg.
Fahr.) On the glass, previously well
cleaned, are poured successively a so
lution of tartaric acid, and then another
of ammonical nitrate of silver. Under
the influence of the heat the organic
acid reduces the metallic salt, and after
about twenty minutes the silver is de
posited on the glass in adherent layers:
the whole operation does not occupy
more than an hour. The mirror is then
dried aud the metal covered with avar
nisli sulliclent to protect it from friction
and the action of sulphur vapors which
blacken it. But silver deposited in this
way often lias an unpleasant yellowish
reflection. M. Lenoir, of l\iris, turned
his attentien to discovering a process
which would obviate the drawback.
He has succeeded bv the following
means. The glass, once silvered, is
subjected to the action of a dilute solu
tion of the double cyanide of mercury
and potassium, when an amalgam of
white and brilliant silver is lorined,
adhering strongly to the glass. To
facilitate the operation ami utilize all
the silver employed, M. Lenoir, by a
recent improvement, sprinkles the glass
at the moment the mercurial solution is
applied with a very line powder of zinc,
which precipitates the mercury and
regulates the amalgamation. Mirrors
thus treated no longer give, it is said,
the yellowish images of the silver used
alone, but the white and brilliant re
flection of the old .process without the
emanation of vapors, which would he
injurious to the men employed upon the
operation.
Good weather proof mortar is thus
made: Three bushels of clean sand,
mingled with half a bushel good lime
and half a bushel cement. This mix
ture once set will resist all weathers,
Science shows that all that is necessa
ry to the human body can be supplied
by the vegetable kingdom solely, and
in fact that the world's population is
actually mainly supported by vegetable
products.

A GRATEFUL RECOGNITION.
"To cur© a CITRON 10 or LOMO BTAKDIHO DISSAS n
is truly a victory In the heallug art; that r> asou
tag power that clearly dtsoernß D*FKOT and sup-
Slf*B a remedy; that restores step by step—by
egrees—the body which has been slowly a?-
tacked ana weakened by nn Insidious disease,
not only commands our respect but deserves
our gratitude. Dr. Itadway has furnished man
kind wiih that wonderful remedy, Railway's
Saraaparllllan Resolvent, whicb accom
plishes this result, and suffering humanity,
who drag out an existence of pain and disease,
through long days and long nights, owe hlui
their gratitude. "—JUuicul Ml* anger.
FALSE AND TRUE.
We extract from Dr. Rad way's "Treatise on
disease and Its Cure," as follows:
List of Diseases Cared byC:
Badway's Sarsaparillien Resolvent.
Chronic Skin Diseases, carles of the Bone,
Humors In the Blood. Scrofulous I)la© ses. Bad
or unnatural Habit or Body, SypblUa and Vene
real. Fever Bores. chronic or Old Ulfccrs, Salt
Rheum, Rickets, Whit© swelling. Seal i He id.
Uterine Affections, Cankers, Glandular swell
ings, Nodes. Wasting and Decay of t,be Body.
Dimples find Blotches Tumors, Dyp©p-la, Kid
ney a id Bladder Diseases, Chronlo Rh umatism
and Gout, Consumption, Gravel and Calculous
Deposits, and varieties of ihe above complaints
to which sometimes are given specious names.
We assert that there is no known remedy that
possesses the curative power over these dis
eases that RADWAVs RXSOLTBNT furnisher. It
curea, step by step, surely, from the founda
tion. and restores ths Injured parts to their
sound condition. The waste© of the body
•r stopped and bealtby blood Is sap
piled to the system, from which new ma
terial Is formed. This is the co rectlve
power of RADWATH RKSOLVIKT. In cases where
'he system has besn salivated and Mercury,
Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate have accumu
lated and become deposited In the bones. Joints,
eto.. causing carles of the bones, rickets, spinal
urvatures, contortions, white swellings, vari
cose veins, etc.. the SARSAFAKTLLIAM will resolve
away those deposits an i exterminate the .virus
of the disease from the system. - w
If those who are talcing tb'-se medicines for
the cure of Chronic. Scr Tulous or Syphilitic dis
eases. however slow may bo the cure, "i©el bet
ter," ana And their general health Improving,
their flesh and weight Increasing, or even keep
ing Its own. Is a sure sign that the cure is pro
gressing. these diseases the patient either
rets better or worse—the virus or the disease
Is not inactive; if not arrested and driven from
the blood It will spread and continue to under
mine tbe constitution. As soon as the SARAA
rAKtLUAN make-* the patient "feelbe'ter," every
aour you will grow better and Increase In health,
ttrength and flesh.
OVARIAN TjJMORS.
The removal of these tumors by RASWAT*
KKSOLVKNT IS now so certainly established that
what was once considered almo-.t miraculous s
low a common recognized fiot by all parties.

MINUTE REMEDY.
Only requires minutes, not hoars, to relieve
pain and cure acute disease. ,
Badway's Ready Relief,
fn from one to twenty minutes, never falls to
relieve PAIN witn one thorough appllc tlon.
No matter how viol-nt or excruciating the aln
'Me RHEUMATIC, Bed-ridden, Infirm. Crippled,
Nervous. Neuralgic, or p ostr <ted with disease
may suffer, RAD WAY'S READY RELIEF will
Afford tustant ease.
Inflammation of the Kidney*, Inflamma
tion of tbe Bladder, Inflammation of the
Bowels, Congestion of the Icings, Sore
Throat, Difficult Breathing, Palpitation of

- FEVER AND AGUE.
Fever and Ague cured for Fifty Cents. There
is not a remedial agent in the world that will
cure Fever and Ague, and all other Malarious,
Bilious, Scanet, Typhoid, Yellow and other
fevers (aided by RADWAVS PILLS) so quick ss
ELADWAT'S &KADT RKLIKF.
It will In a few moments, when taken accord
ing to directions, cure Cramps, Spasms, Sour
Stomach, Heartburn, Sick Headache. Diarrhea
Dysentery, Colic, Wind In the Bowels, and all
Internal Pains.
Travelers should always carry a bottle of RAD
WAT s KEADT RELIEF with them. A few drops
in water will prevent sickness or pqlna from
change of water. It is better than French
brandy or bitters as a stimulant.
Mluersaad Lambermes should always
be provided with 1L
CAUTION.
All remedial agents capable of destroying life
by an overdo © should be avoided. M rpbtne,
opium, strychnine, arnica, hyosclamus, and
other powerful remedies, does at certain t mca.
lc very small doses, relieve the pitlent during
their action in the system. But perhaps the
second dose, if repeated, may aggravate and in
crease the suffer! g, and another dose cause
death O There Is no necessity for using th e
uncertain agents when a positive remedy ltke
RADWAT'S KKADT RELIEF will stop the m st ex
cruciating pain quicker, without entailing th
if t dlffioulvr la either Infant or adult.
