A Memorable Indian Fight.
A sharp Indian tight, one of the most
closely-contested that ever took place
in Texas, was fought 011 the 27ih of
January, 1851. Lieutenant Ed. Bur
leson, with a detachment of cavalry,
MAS 011 his way from Sail Antonio to
Camp Los Ojuelos.
When near the Nuces river, he saw
three Comanche Indians on horseback.
Taking eight men, and ordering the
rest of the party to keep the road and
move on, he pursued them.
After running for two or three miles
the Indians came up with eleven ol
their band on foot, and prepared for
battle.
Burleson's men, who were old Texan
rangers, moved up within fifty or sixty
yards of the Comanche line, and open
ed the fight. By some mistake thej dis
mounted. The Indians charged, and a
terrible hand-to-hand tight ensued.
Shots were fired at the distance of a
loot or two.
The field was an open prairie, 011
which there was not even a bush for
cover. It was a trial of strength, skill
and courage. The rangers fouglu be
hind their horses, shooting under them
or over the saddles.
Red men and white men, Colt's six
shooting carbines and bows and arrows,
revolvers and lances were mingled in
a general melee. There was 110 shout
ing, no maneuvering, but each man
fought on his own '-hook," and for life.
Many of the incidents of personal
prowess would, iftheyhad occurred in
a battle between mediaeval knights,
have been celebrated 111 song and
chronicle.
A Comanche singled out Jem Carr,
a cool, brave ranger, and charged upon
hiui with bow aud lance. Jeui, with
steady aim, fired at and shot him; then
fired again, with the same effect. The
Indian still advanced, shooting arrow
after arrow. The arrows came with
less and less force, until the last one
hardly left the bow, as the plucky, de
determined warrior fell dead a few feet
from his white foe.
Jem received four severe wounds.
"It was like clock-work," he said;
"every time I raised my carbine they
stuck an arrow in me."
lie had his carbine to his face, read}
to fire, when an arrow, passing through
the last joint of his right forefinger
pierced the breech of the guu. Luckily
the wood splintered and released his
hand.
Baker Barton, one of those in
demitable spirits who are game unto
the last, received three mortal wounds.
He died on his feet, holding to the
horn of his saddle.
One of the coolest of the rangers was
a man named Leach. His self-posses
sion was wonderful. Burleson, seeing
an Indian aiming a pistol at Leach,
raised his revolver to shoot.
"Don't shoot at him, Lieutenant,'
called out Leach; "he's only blulllng.
I've been watching him ; there is no
load in his pistol."
Finally the Indians tied, having eight
wounded and leaving four dead on the
field. They were so thoroughly whip
ped thatj contrary to their custom, they
did not take their dead with them. Two
of the rangers were killed and several
were wounded. A gentleman who
visited the field thirty days after the
fight found it covered with arrow s.
Over two hundred were picked up on a
space of less than one-fourth of an acre.

The little aprons of childhood—ain't

The children's shoes, how cunning,
with holes in the toes, run over at the

But their stockings, wudgeted in a

HUMOROUS.
THKRK is a good deal of square com
mon sense about the directors of a sav
ings bank down at Marysville. They
engaged a new cashier the other day,
and the president said to him: Mr.
Steele, your duities will be verv light,
and the salary S4OO a month. Now, if
you'll agree not to speculate in bonds,
or gamble, or hypothecate the deposits,
we'll double .the pay. Come, now,
what do you say?" "I'm very much
obliged to you, gentlemen," was the
reply, "and I'll tlnnk it over and give
you an answer in the morning." But
he refused the otter, after all. lie said
be couldn't be cramped down in that
way.
WHEN INDKKO! —A sailor belonging
to one ot her Majesty's ships, coining
ou board urunk, was met by the cap
tain, who, addressing him sternly,
said : "What do you mean, sir, by* be
ing drunk 011 board ship? I won't
have it, sir. And I hear besides that
you've been drunk 011 shore. 1 won't
have It, sir." The inebriated ta*
steadied himself for a moment, and
looking the captain full in the face,
hiccupped out, "Well, if a man may'lit
get drunk 011 shore, where is be to get
druuk ?"
HE was a simple sportsman who did
not often go to church, but he had been
much impressed with the parable ol
Lazarus ain' Dives —notably with that
portion of it In which the attention of
the dogs to the cripple are set forth.
Months after he went with his sh
consins to a concert ill St. James' hall,
and heard a man play the clarionet
wonderfully. "What's his name?" lie
asked. They replied "Lazarus." He
pondered a moment and then muttered :
"It would take a clever dog to lick
that beggar."
BYRON'S ideas 011 the subject of
finance and education are very widely
prevalent. He said once : "They say
that knowledge is power. 1 used to

clared that all he knew was that he
knew nothing, he merely intended to
declare that he bad not a drachma In

A FRENCHMAN, living in Louisiana,
whose wife deserted him, amused his

asked. "No. I did not run after her.

DRIVING through Sackvlllc street,
Dublin, the other day, 011 an outside
ear, the wretched appearance of the
horse suddenly struck me. I said:
"Pat, you ought to be taken up for
cruelty to animals, driving such an old
screw as that!" "Be gor, sur," was
the quick reply, "if I didn't dhrive
that, I'd be taken up for cruelty to a
wife and six children.
"MARY, I do not approve of your en

"Well, ma'am, its very kind of you to

shy and awkward in his manners,
ma'm, for you to like him to come into
the parlor," replied Mary.
A BIG six-footer was lifting lor all
he was worth on a wagon-wheel which
was stuck, when a little two-foot mite

and a swaggering air, sang out: "Mis

Ax old beggar woman accosted in
piteous tones the other day a gentleman

has unfortunately just recovered her

"llow many rods make a furlong?"
asked a father of his son, a fast urchin,
as he came home from school. "Well,

"but 1 fancy you'd think one rod made

over twenty-five years, and have found no
reason to distrust one statement made in re

their own hearths that it is a family medic ne
which is of the utmo t value iu cases of ma
laria, dyspepsia, debility, disordered condi

of other maladies. They have found it a com
pr tent tonic, a genuine alterat.ve, and in coti
trast.ng it with the many preparation-* ot the
same class in tie market, they have willingly
accorded it the palm. The correctness of
their belief in its efficacy has received the
strongest confirmation in expressions of
opinion by medical men, and the approval of
the press.
DOMESTIC.
ROOM DECORATION.— Fashion in dress
do not vary more quickly than fashion
In room decorations, and every month
shows some new device for the bedizen
ing of our home. Ills Impossible for
people to adopt every novel freak in the
matter of room ornament, and the best
plan is that they should choose the ideas
that are the most suitable to their taste
and the most easily adapted to their
materials and circumstances. We are
learning that houses to be attractive
should be individual; and we may rest
assured that the fact that variety is
charming is as true ol this as it is of
tuauy other matters. If one Is paying
a long round of calls and has the mem
ory of six or seven drawing rooms, all
pretty and costly, but all showing signs
of having rather been furnished with
regard to the taste of a lashlonable up
holsterer than to that of their mis
tresses, what a relief It is to enter a
room entirely different, where every
thing, however simple, hears the look
of having been approved and chosen
and arranged by one with a fine eye
for beauty of color and form and a de
licate instinct lor harmony of line.
This art of room arrangement is one
winch savts much money, for a v. ouian
who owns it does not need to discard
unfashionable furniture or out-of-dats
ornaments, which would be a eyesore
in many rooms. By her faculty of ar
rangement she discerns just the place
where ilie angular table will lit in and
look well and appropriate and In what,
corner tlie objectionable console will
lighten the room by its glean, of mirror
and gilding. Among the many pretty
notions which have been lately intro
duced Is that of "over doors." The de
vices introduced for this purpose are
numerous—stag's antlers, convex eagle
mirrors, makes ol statues 011 oval vel
vet shields, and even clusters of Jap
anese or peacock screens. The fancy
of a half moon shaped design in. Vene
tian mosaic, sunk in a deep baud ot
dark velvet, may be new to uiuny. and
would have IH many rich rooms a very
beautiful effect. The arrangement ol
blue china, and shelves and brackets of
eboulzed or enameled wood, always
looks well and a plaster of frieze
in basso relievo, as long Rs the door is
wide, will be effective in many rooms;
the ground of the frieze might even be
colored of a faint green or blue, so as
to give it the appearance of a Wedg
wood plaque. If you hang a picture
over a door, do not let it be a small wa
ter color sketch or anything of that
kind, so that Us beauty is entirely lost
011 anybody under eight feet high; the
pictures that look best over dn>rs are
still life pieces of flowers or fruit.
IT isrxor NECESSARY to keep 011 tak

syringe, or dosing day and night for
months at a time; the bow els are re

IIIXTS about calcimining: Buy the
best bleached glue, if the walls are to
be white or some light tint (if dark it
is immaterial, so that the glue i- clean),
and use it in the proportion of a quar
ter of a pound to eight pounds of whit
ing. Soak the glue over night; in the
uiornlng pour oil the water, as it sim
ply swells while soaking. Add fresh
water, put in a pail, and set that in a
kettle of boiling water. When dissolv
ed, stir it into the whiting, adding
enough water to make it. after mixing,
of the same consistency of common
whitewash. It may be tinted anv
color, and is applied with a whitewash
brush. If the color is rubbed smooth
iu a little water, aud then mixed with
the wash it will be more even. If the
walls have been previously whitewash
ed, scrape away all that will come off,
and wash with a solution of white vit
riol—two ounces in a pail of water.
The vitriol will be decomposed, form
ing zinc white and plaster of Paris, to
which calcimine easily adheres. It is
important, to dissolve the glue in a hot
water bath, for if scorched by toe great
heat its tenacity is impaired or de
stroyed.

MAULEY OK OATS.— hi regard to
whether it is better to sow oats or bar
ley, much depends on climate and soil.
In sections where oats do well, and
barley usually fails, it would be unwise
to sow barley. Hut in those sections
where the climate is alike favorable lor
barley or oats, and where it is a ques
tion of soil anil preparation, it may be
observed : Ist. That oats sometimes do
well on an old sod, but barley rarely,
if ever, does so. 2d. Oats ripen later
than barley, and while it Is very desira
ble to sow oate as early as the laud can
be got Into good condition, still you
stand a better chance of a crop from
late sown oats than late sown barley.
3d. Oats will do far better on low,
mucky land, than barley. If such laud
be well drained and in in good heart,
and in flue, mellow condition —as after
a well 'cultivated corn, potuto or root
crop—a great crop of barley may some
times be grown, especially if the land
has been limed, but the chances are al
together more favorable lor u great crop
of oats. 4th. On low, mueky land, that
is only partially drained, and which
cannot be worked early in the season.
It would be lolly to sow barley. If
sown ui all, 1 would drill in oats, if the
laud was dry enough to admit the use
of the drill; or if uot, sow the oats
broadcast, and if they could not be har
rowed in, let them sprout on the sur
taco, and roll the land when it is Arm
enough to hold up the horses, it would
be better, however, to summer fallow
such land, working it thoroughly, and
make it clean and mellow, and then
seed it down heavily with timothy (and
perhaps red top) next August. At any
rate, do not sow barley. sth. Oats will
do better on heavy clay land tha i bar
ley. This is the rule. The exceptions
are rare. The heaviest crop ot barley I
ever saw was on a Held of heavy clay
land that was summer fallowed the year
previous lor wheat by three plowings,
and then not sown to wheat in the lull,
hut plowed again in the spring early
and sown in barley. Everything was
favorable, and the crop was immense.
6th. On weedy land it is better to sow
oats titan barley. Drill in the oats deep
and use plenty of seed. Roll the land
eit her at the time of sowing or after the
oats are up. Then when the weeds are
sprouted, and are in the seed leaf, go
over the Held once or twice, or three
times, if necessary, with a light, line
toothed harrow, for the purpose of
killing the young weed plants. Oats
can be harrowed with less injury to the
platitsjdian barley. And if the soli and
weather are favorable, and the opera
tion performed at the right moment,
thousands ol weeds will be destroyed,
and the stirring of the ground will be
lavorable to the growth of the oats.

FLAX CULTURE. —A neglected indus
try in the United States is that of llax
growing and'the manufacture of linen.
Forty j ears ago, nearly every farmer in
the country knew how to raise and pre
pare flax lor domestic use, and many
of our fathers and mothers were to
some extent engaged in this manufac
ture. Now, however, besides a few
small mills in New York and New .Jer
sey, tfie business is given over to for
eign manufacturers. Of the raw flax
used by the crash and thread mills,
4000 tons ure imported, and 1000 tons
are home grown, chiefly in the north
eastern portion of the State of New
York. A considerable portion of the
imported is Russian, a part, that of the
best, is Belgian, a part Canadian, and
some Irish. What is required at this
time i, that our farmers attend to the
requirements of fertilizers and the ro
tation of crops necessary to grow the
liber to perfection, and then sow the
proper amount of seed, two or three
bushels per acre, pull it before over
ripe, steep it, and spread it just long
enough to separate the fibre completely,
and the present demand for flax inav be
easily supplied at homo. This is the
first step, and if it can not be secured
without the assistance ot a flax associa
tion, such should be* organized. The
importation of raw flax is about 4000
tous annually, at a cost of about sl,-
250,000, the importation of linseed
about so,ooo,oooannually, and of linen
goods about $15,000,000 annually.

Advice to Consumptives
No man, however uncleanly, would
rirink muddy, dirty water. A party
which occupies a room for hours,
breathing the same air, might bo com
pared to a party of bathers drinking
the water in which they bathe. The
patient must keep the window of his
bed-room open. Night air is fresh air
without daylight.. In close, crowded
rooms, the patient suffering from lung
complaints breathes consumptively.
By taking these precautions and using
Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, fully
one-half of the cases of lung complaints
would be cured in six months. For
cough and irritation of the lungs do
not always indicate the presence of
consumption although it may result In
that disease, and if consumption has al
ready become deeply seated in the sys
tem, this is the most efficient course of
treatment that can be pursued outside
of any institution that provides special
facilities for the treatment of this dis
ease. Dr. Pierce's celebrated invalids'
Hotel is such an institution. Sena
