CtaiouB Customs of Iowa Iktiaxs.
There is still remaining near Toledo. Iowa,
a small rrmuant of two Indian tribes, the
Sacs and F xes, known as the Musquawkees,
who nuruber about tbree hundred mtn,
women and children. They me very lazy,
ilirty and degraded, and probably will ail
disappear iu a few jeara.
A warrior amoug tliem having died was
jdaced on a largo iiece of baik, raised sev j
rl feet Ligh in an old elm tree, secured by
trong thona of leather, and left there for I
more than two yeara. A t-quaw was buried j
in a sitting ixstuie, the lower ;art 1A the !
ixly covered with earth, thd head and trunk
rtect, and, ixccpt a 8'i.k.ing aa the ground
ettled, the fktlelon sat upright fr nearly
five yeara. Oue of tic men, buried in the
aume manner, had hie rifla j hiced at hii
ahotiUer, firmly clapped with both handi,
I ill nature dissolved the teudona of the arm
acd the wrapou fell. S nietimra they iuter
litem at the uuusual dejilh of teu and even
eleven ftt. At others the corpse is laid on
t he surface T !h6 ground and covered with
arth. The grave are stuck with sticks an 1
.i!ed with potc, and li tle white fljg flat
ter from ataks set in the grmn 1, while ras
f vaiioua colors cover tLo branches of the
ive hanuing trees.
The Mii-qu kef s, fave to a singular par
ticular, are btrictly lmi-eM; and though they
have but the slightest kn!wlelgo of mini
)ers, thpy rt:i;etnbfr their accounts, will)
nrpiaing accurary. When they buy any
thing foi which they cannot pay down, they
nniRt have the nuiuint written on a piece of
) aper for thrm. 'I'hoy cannot read it, of
course, but they rtver fail to bring it with
them when thev ccne t nettle, aid to know
i'lsl how much monpy it lep'csents. Tlieir !
i lea cf buMnes-s is j-it this : Mawsnock
-maw owes me 410. 1 write out his note Lr
the amount, Hgn hid name to it, auJ lie
makes "his mat k" by touching the top of
my rnh- hltr while 1 execute the maik ( X)

)iim that he owes me. With r.t pocket,
) ockt-boik. draper, or shelf in all the
world, it is an utter mj'ntery how he does
Jeep it ; but as certainly as the day of pay
ment comes so certaiuly does he fi.h out
f om ai me recess or fold of blanket, brecch
clout, or leg:in, the idoi t eal promise to pay,
iod hands over both it and the specified
imonnt. Ha has no idea of interest. Now
that he has paid it I must keep the note to
remiud me that he dors not owe me. Should
I afterward present it. to him for payment,
the fact of its being in my posesiou would
Va to him conclusive cvitleccc that he had
Iald it.
What ib a Million Dollars ? People
ay: "The steamer took awaj' a million
ilollais." just as complacently as though a
inilliou dollars could te picked np like dirt.
An anonymous writer in an exchange re
marks that but vory few pcoj lu have any
Hea what millions, billions, trillions are
than they have cf the brogaus wirn by cob
1 lers who inhabit the moon. A million of
e;!vtr dollars possesses a vastness that is
1 ther 6'srtling to a man who never faced
fuch r j i e. To count this ftim at the rate
ni on thousand C ve hundred an hour, and
tiht hour in a day, would require a man
nearly thrre month. If tLe said dollars
vere laid side by side, they would reach one
hundred and thitty-six miles, while their
tranBportation would rcquiie fuirteen wag
n haulirg two tons each. If millions be
come tl u overpuwer!n2 in their magnitude,
what hall we do with larger Bums ? The
1 econds iu six thousand years rcem almost
incaloulable. aud jet they amount to one
fifth less than a trillion. A quadrillion of
leaves cf paper, each the two hundredth
part of n inch in thickness, would form a
e;
lie, the height of wh-.ch wou.d be three
undrad and thirty timeg the moon's d:stance
from the earth. A cannon ball ti es swiftly;
but if one were fired at the moment our Na
tional President takes h:s seat in the White
House, and were to continue, with unabated
velocity, twelve feet a second during his
whole term cf office, it would not travel
three trillions of rnihs. Wo never heatd of
the Wandering Jew but we mentally inquire
what was the Bentcnce of his punishment.
Perhaps he was told to walk the earth till
he counted a trillion. Suppose a man to
count one in every fecond of time, day and
1 'ght, without stopping to rest, eat ot sleep.
H wuld take him thirty two years to count
k billion, or thirty thousand 3 ears to count a
trillion, even as the Trench understand the
erm. s we said before, what a limited
idea men have cf the immensity of numbers.
ExTftAORDiNAHT Saacitv of RI.nr.
One of the most remarknblrt instance,
ivf equine aagacity it rejiorted from Whit
by. A young gentleman named Keener
has been for some time a residtnt near
Malton, and from Mr. liutter of Ilessle
Parm he booi;ht a hunting mare, which
on leaving Malton he recenily took witli
litm to Whitby. On Wedneadaj the mare
was niis'inj from the field, and a search
was instituted to no purpose. On Thors
day the eearch was renewed, Mr. Keene
unl his groom going about ten miles on
the- GuUboroiigh Moors, then to Leigh!?,
where they heard the mare had crossed
the railroad the previous mornir.j. At
this point the trail was easy. Tha mare
)iad tnlen the liigli road homewards, and
ht SItersgate six men tticd to slop her,
without nvail. At I'ickering she j imped
n lend of ticks and the railroad pates,
nnd thut found herself in her old hunting
country, makinr neross Kyedala for
"home." In doing 6he would fiave !o
rroattwo rivers and a railway. Mr. Kerne
found her at home on Thursday night
vith one Mioe tlitown nnd rather lame,
hut otherwise none tha wor-e from her
rross-country gallop of nearly sixty miles,
done in one dav ; for her previous owner
found her on Wednesday night standing
ftt the gat of the field wheie the Lad
grazed for two previous years.

Sarsaparilla
Is widely known
as one of the most
etTeetual remedies
ever discovered for
cleansing the sys
tem and pnrifying
the blood. Jt has
of
con
stantly growing rep
utation, based on its
intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re
markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many 01 which arc publicly known,
of Scrofula, and all scrofulous diseases,
IJ leers, irruptions, and eruptive dis
orders of the skin, Tumors, IJIotches,
lioils, Pimples, Pustules, Sores, St.
Anthony's Fire, Kose or Erysipe
las, Tetter, Salt Itlicum, Scald
lleart, Itiiitfworm, and internal Ul
cerations of tlie Uterus, Stomach,
and JLiver. It also cures other com
plaints, to which it wotdd not seem especi
ally adapted, such as Iropsy, Dyspep
sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Iisease,
Female Weakness, Debility, and
Leucorrlioea, when they are manifesta
tions of the scrofulous poisons.
It is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring, liy renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless lan
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel lietter. and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and a new lease of
life.

VEGETABLE SICILIAN
HAIR
RENEWER
Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is clue to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring Gray or Faded
Hair to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and eilken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling; out, as it stimu
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In baldness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. It is the most
economical IIaju Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap
pearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D., Stale
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and I
consider it tho Best Pkeparatiox
for its intended purposes."

Lbonsburg, April 33, lbC9.
A DARIAG rC.1T.
Reniarkable for its spire the loftiest one
or St. Petersburg is the church of St. Peter
and St. Paul. An anecdote connected with
this church, and not known out of r,-j5i;.
is woith telling. The spire, which is
Lofty, and light, and small,
and is probably represented in an engravV.z
as fading away a!met into a poinMn it o
sky, is in reality terminated by a gl.e If
considerable Gimeceions, ou which
an at.Li
stands supporting a large cro?s. Ihis ar.gel
was out of repair, and some suspicions wera
entertaiued that he designed visiting, ui,'l
Yoked the surface of the earth. The afLir
caused seme uneasiness, and the govern merit
at length became greatly perplexed. T,
raise a scaffolding to such a height )
cost a large turn of money, and in rr.fcd:'at:r. "
fruitlessly cu the circumstance, without
knowing how to act, some time was suffered
to filapse.
Among the crowd of gszers bslow v.i.0
turned their eyes and thoughts toward tie
angel, was a mnjic called Ttlcuchkine. Tl.:s
man was a rocfer of hoOECs (a slater, K9
would be called in connTrits where slates art
used), and Lis speculations ly degrees as
sumed a more practical character than th
idle wonders and conjectures cf tho rest r f
the crowd. The spire was entirely c,ver&-l
with sheets of gilded copper, and pre ?'jl!cJ
to the eye a surface as smooth a if it haj
been one mass of burnished gold. But Te
leuchkine knew that the sheets of c. pjer
were not even uniformly closed i:r.nn iacd
j other, aud, above all, that there were hr?,
j nails urcd to fasten them, which pr iecied
' from the side of the spire. Havii g t
i t f these circumstances till his mind war uaj
j up. Telouchkine went to the goven n.eLt
! and tffered to repair the angel, vk i;L.ut
! Kcaffjldiug and without aiiance, t u c l
; dition cf being reasonably paid f ir li.e tin 3
; txpeuded in tbe labor. Ihe offer was &e
i cepted.
j The day fixed for the adventnre arrirel.
I Tolouchkine. provided with n jiliisj rr. ;r
! than a coil of ropes, ascended tbe sp:re ia
i the interior to the last wind-jw. II;re !,
looks down at the inteicourss of peep'e I eiow.
and np r.t ths glittering iieeJie,"' as i' ii
called, tapering far above his hsii Dji
his heart does not fil him, and. Kcp;)!:.
braveiy out 00 the window, be sets a'vjut
j his tak. He cuts a poriiou cf the cord ia
i tha form of two largo stirrups, with a 1,?j(i
j at each end. The upper l?ops he fast-jel
upon two of the projecting nails al-ove l.ii
head, and places hib feet in thu ct! en. Tr,tu
digging the fingers of one hand into the ni
terstlces of the theets c f copper, he raises one
cf the stirrups with the other hand, so 11s t
make it catch a nail higher np. Ti.e fan.
operation is performed on behalf of the tthtr
: leg, and so on alternately. And thus U
j climbs, step by step, and stirrup by stir: up,
j till his starting-point is ondisliaguii.ed
j from the golden surface, and the spire dwin
dles in h:s embrace till he can clasp it ail
arcund.
So far so well. But now he has reached
tho ball a globe of between nine a: u tea
feet in circumstance. Tbe acge!, tl.s oljct
of his visit, is above this ball, sod cotceaied
from his view by its smooth, round and glit
tering expanse. Only fancy the wretch at
this moment turning up his grave eyes, and
still graver beard, to an obstacle that seerna
to defy the daring and intrepidity of man I
But Telenclikine is cot dismayed. He is
prepared for the difficnlty, and the means
he used to surmortt it exhibits the same re-
markable simplicity as the rest cf the feat.
Suspending himself in his stirrups, he
girds the "needle" with a cord, the end of
which he fastens around his waist and sd
supported, he leans gradually back till the
soles of his feet are planted again t the spire.
In this prsition he throws, by a strong cfi rt.
a coil of rope over in the ball ; act so co!y
and accurately ia the aim taken, that at the
first trial it fa'la in the required direction,
and he ices the end of the rope hanging down
on the opposite side.
To draw himself into his original resit!:::,
to fasten the end of the cori firmly arrcni
the globe, arvd with the assistance cf ti."s
auxiliary to climb to the snmrcit. is now an
easy part of hi3 task, and in a fsw rxinr.'.es
more Telouchkine stands by the siJe of the
angel, and listtns to the shout that bursts like
sudden thunder from the concourse be'",
ytt censes, to Lis eais like a faitt, Lllow
mnvmnr.
Ths cord, which he had an opportunity cf
fastening properly, enabled him to defccl
with comparative facility; and the next dav
he carried up with him a ladder of ropes, l y
means of which he found it easy to effect t!re
necessary repairs.

ommended as a cure for cancer, ti the
Gresr.sburg Argua, wild tea ia ome:hir:s that
probably has not been thought of, but the vir
tues of which, nevertheless, hare been testtJ,
as will be seen by the following letter we Lte
received :

The following is taken from-an old F4"8

give place to h, even though' it should bs tor

'A great discovery has recently been n&
by a surgeon of the British army io Chins, in
the way of an etTeetual remedv for the small
pox. The mode of treatment is as follows:
When preceding fever is at its height, and just
before the eruption appear, tbe cbet is rat'f'V
with croton oil end tartaric ointmenr. Th:
causes the whole of the eruption to appear on
that part of tbe body to the relief of the rest.
It also secures a full and complete eruption tid
thas preven's the dieeaae from attacking the
internal organs. This is now the established
mods of treatment in tbe English army ia
China, and is regarded as a perfect cure."
