SCOUTLG ADVENTURE.
AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
J. 1 4 befire the [link. Gdar Creek
Cu.ter's tro ,, ps, Livtitd Dave Har
rison. had au adventure full of peril. In
the :ihz,ence of regular Feints he was de
tailed to work his way up the valley and
4 ise-ver all be eould regarding the enemy's
position, and be ~ t itered upon the enter
prise with alacrity and confidence. Dave
was known as a quiet, cool, enduring man,
doing. his duty under all circumstances,
aiid winning the good will of officers and
men in eamp or on the march.
It vas not the intention to send the
tr,:opi , r forward as a spy. but his instruc
tions were to scout over the neutral but
dangerous ground between outposts and as
oear the enemy ea he could. He left our
camp in his Federal uniform, armed with
a pair of revolvers and a knife, and there
were plenty of croakers to predict that he
would never return.
After leaving die outpn4 Pave headed
straight up the valley; determined to ac
compli , h his task as soon as possible. He
or c,urse took to the woods and brush, as
the highwar were more nr less traveled
by the eta it and by coaritry people, and
the sight of his uniform would have created
insta%: aliant He left our camp just at
daylight, and at noon he was munching
his hardtack in the bushes three miles
away He had discovered that the neutral
ground was overrun with Confederate scouts
and foragers, and his plan was to go slow.
The trooper had made another two miles
after dinner, when be found that he must
leave his cover of the friendly forests if he
would get nearer the enemy's lines. He
had seen cavalry, artillery, infantry and
army wagons nioiiinEr, marching by this
road or that. and bad drawn his own con
c!usiens, hut. yet this did not satisfy him.
Surmises and conclusions were not the in
formation desired at headquarters. To
secure ficts he must cross the open fields
and highways, and by mid afternoon he
was prepared to do so. His last cover was
a thicket by the road side. Nearly oppo
site him, and about twenty rods away, was
a log farm-house, the front door standing
wide open. The scout was hoping to get
a word with some colored men, when a
cavalry patrol of about twenty-five men
came along the dusty road and halted at a
watering trough to refresh their horses.—
The noise attracted the attention of the
house-dog, a large and savage animal, end
he ran to the highway and barked fu•
riouy,ly. Finding that the soldiers gave
him no attention, he trotted up and down
thP load and fi ally got the scent of the
scout hiditL in the thicket. The dog wa
over the fence into the thicket in a second,
and his avgry b,irks and growls attracted
general attention.
"lie's after a Flssum." shouted one of
the band
"More likely itse,ut :" added a secoud
as he rode up to the fence.
'•Come out of that, you devil !" order
the Lieutenant in command.
The-coat realized that they only guessed
at. the presence of a human being there,
and he hoped they might be satisfied with
out au investigation Perhaps they would
have been but for the conduct of the dog,
which seemed determined to come to close
quarte,s To shoot hint would have be
tra)ed the wan instanter. He tried to
coax the brute with meat and to intimidate
hint with a club, but neither effort was
t•uccessful. When sure that the dog was
about to close in on him Dave drew his
knife. The dog sprang in and was re
ceived with a blow intended to settle him
then and there, but it only gave him a se
very wound. The cut took the fight out
of him and he retreated among the troopers.
As soon as they noticed his wound they
held a whispered consultation and divided,
part going up the road and a part down.
When thirty rods from the thicket they
began throwing down the fence. _
The scout saw that he was to be flanked.
The woods were too far away, and he vans
bolt in some other direction or tamely suet
render. He was not a man to do the last
while there was any show for escape. As
soon as the cavalry entered the field the
scout bounded into the road and had
crossed it before he was discovered. When
the cavalry opened fire he ran straight for
the house. Two white women, several
colored ones and three or four colored
children were running about the yard, and
Dsve bolted through the crowd and into
the house. lie expected to run through
it and across the back fields, but seeing
the people gathered at the back door he
went. no farther than the kitchen. The
doors all stood open. After a glance
Around for a hiding place, the scout stepped
bahind the one leading up stairs This
doer swung close to the fl per and hit the
wall, so as to leave quite a corner where
the walls joined.
The scout was scarcely hidden when the
house was full of wen. All had seen him
enter, and they felt sure of capturing him.
While some stood guard at the doors,
others began a search. They examined
every room in detail, constantly expecting
to unearth the Yankee, and two of the
kitchen doors were pulled back for a peep
in the corners . The cellar was the last
place searched. A window io the wall was
open, and after a brief search the soldiers
concluded that the scout had crept out of
HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 18$1.
this and made off while they were search
lug above. At this moment one of the
colored women raked au outcry and de
dared she had seen a blue e. - tat enter the
corn field about thirty roils from the
house Away went the crowd, wht;oping
and yelling, and the scout was lt.ft alone
with the women and children.
Dave now planned to step forth. cross
the highway and make for the cover of
the forest, but just as he was ready to cx
ecute the movement he heard the rumble
of wheels on the road. A forc.! was Fos
ing, and his appearanco would have be en
the signal fir pursuit. The only way was
to remain where he wAs and trust to luck.
After a hunt of half en hour the patrol
straggled back to the heu,e with the
formation that the 17.1tilif , e nmie his
escape for the time being. but that. patrols
had been sent out to tut off les retutn.—
The Lieutenant was offered fed, and he
had just drawn up to the table to eat a
cold bite when be was joined by a Captain
of some independcat cewmand. whose men
had just come down the mid. The two
talked briskly of army matters and move.
meats as they plied their knives and forks
and what the to att overheard, as he
crouched behind the kitchen door, was re
garded of value when cairied to Federal
headquarters.
When the two offi; - •ers had fn,b,lit , d thiir
meal it was near sundown, and as they r,:so
to Co Dave had a narrow escape from dis
covery. In the I.o'llll with them was a
white and colored woman, and CA t he C:p
tain r.se up the white woman ranarked:
"Why. Captain you a:e lu,di d viith
dust. Wait a minute, and brush it
off."
She started for the door. She Witi doubt
less in the habit of standing the broom b. , -
hind the stair door. for li•i•r li.tnd way al
ready on the edge of the bor to swims it
back from the wall when the colored vrinian
trial out. from the other room that she had
it. The Captain was vigorously dtiAted
his hostess duly thanked, and the two offi
tiers departed together. However, the
scout was but little better off He could
hear troops moving along the road, and if
he left his hiding place before night his
capture or death would be almost cett:lin
But .could he remain where he was ?
The excitement baring somewhat sub
sided the women went about their house
hold duties, and one of the colored women
was instructed to get supper. Pave had
been standing as stiff us a board for an
hour and a half, but he dared not Chang.t
his position. The women talked pretty
bravely, and his escape from the house
might not be aceotupiiFlied as safely as he
had at first anticipated The windows
were open, arid he could lief,r seueds which
convinced him that soldiers were io camp
not far away.
By and by twilight cArte and supper was
ready. Dave hoped that after the twill
was over the household might sca•ter long
enough to permit his exit unseen, but Faic
bad a trick to play him. The meal was
not more than ha;f over when some article
fell to the fl , or up stlirs with a bud
At this the mistress of the house rearAtked
to one of the children
"Albert, shut that stair do )r and ste t
that draft of wind."
The boy left the table, walked over. to
the door and pulled it sh.it., !racing Dave
in his corner without sheltvr The lad
gave a start of surprise at sight of the in
truder, but before he could cry 4 - ,ut, the
scout stepped bold!)• forward with a polie
good evening to all. Ni on, was greatly
startled, as soldiers were frequent callers.
"Who is it ?" asked the mistress, as she
looked up.
"Gor' a mighty ! it's dat Yank !" ex
c:ainied one of the colored women in reply,
as she caught sight of his blue clothes.
A frightened look swept around the cir
cle, and as the black woman turned to fly
the scout called out :
"Don't be afraid—no one shall he
harmed. I am going right out doors

William Blaikie. the author of "How to

before the Brooklyn Teachers' Association
in New York on 'Physical Education."—
"I want," said he, "to see i: an informal

The Scribner Prizes for Wood-En-

ica, the editor of 'Scribner, in the April
number, with the desire to stimulate the
art, offers several premiums, for works by
pupils, in the following article :
•One of the sad things—almost the only
sad thing—connected with the tremendous
popular interest in art. that has been de

years, is that there are multitudes engaged

engravers upon wood The busiest people
w4lnow of in the United States are wood
cvsavers. We du not know of one who
has not all he can do. and more. too. Every
co2raver is busy up t:, the measure
of his stren g th and endurance, and even
the ~ otnru9nplare and poor engravers have
htir bands full of cotntu, , nplace and poor
work, i:f which there is an enormous
amount ••ooe in this country. There is a
vast field for this latter work in all sorts of
iilustrated catalogues, and second and
third rate periodicals; and the field prom.
ices to become larger rather than smaller
We feel that art schools themselves are
much at fault in not providing facilities
tor teaching this branch of art work, and
the very first thing for them to do is to
establish cht , srs in wood engraving under
f!e litre of,competcut masters. There
no question that a good engraver on
wood can get a g -, nd living. There is a
good deal of qu:: , stion as to whether an
painter or : , .cuiptor can get his
bread by his work. Pictures are luxuries,
rvhPe engravings are in the line of great
business enterprises that demand and must
Lave them.
There is a prePrliee athnnc artistically
inclined ropie against the work of the

Seven Bibles of the World.
The seven Bibles of the world are the
I,f the Mohatuteedans, the Eddis
of the Scandinavians, the Try Pitikes of
the Buddhists, the five Kings of the Chi
nese, the three Vedas of the Hindoos, the
Zandavesta, and the •scriptures of the
Christians. The Koran is the most recent
of the seven Bibles, and not older than
the seventh century of our era. It is a
compound of quotations from the Old and
New Testaments, the Talmud and the
Gospel of St. Barnabas The Eddis of
the Seandihavians we:e first published in
the fuirteetrh century. The Pitikes of
the Buddhist contlin sublime morals and
pure aspiratten, but their author lived and
died in the sixth century before Christ.—
The sacred writings of the Chinese are
called the five Kings, king - meaning web
or eloth, or the warp that keeps the threads
in their place. They contain the best say
of the sages on the ethic„ political
duties of life. These sayings cannot be
traeed to a period higher than the eleventh
ceLtury before Christ. The three Vedas
are the most ancient books of the Hindoos,
aed it is the opinion of Ass Muller, Wil
son, Johnson and our own Whitney, that
they are not older than eleven centuries
B. C. The Zendtvesta of the Persians is
the grandest of all the sacred books next
to our Bible. Zoroaster, wh.'se sayings it
contains, was born at Batrie in the twelfth
century B. C. Moses lived and wrote his
Pentateuch fifteen centuries B. C., and
therefore has a clear margin of 300 years
older than the moss ancient of the sacred
writings.

The Death of a Wife,
how often have we heard the idle words,
"when you 'lie soon get another,"
spoken by a husband to a loving. dutiful
wife. We, the other day, heard these
words testily uttered by a husband whose

addressed to. Oh I thoughtless, short-edged
words, how easily said, but how terrible
the reality whon that dear wife is no more.

The Record of a Famine.
Those who bare but a faint idea of what
gaunt famine really is, will learn some
thing of the appalling distress which per
vatles the people of a country smitten by
this terrible calamity, by reading the an
nexed report of a relief committee on the
recent destitution in the north of China.
When year after year the crops failed,
the people began by supplementing the
meagre harvests gathered from the blight
ed fields with herbs and leaves; but, as'
throughout the country dtstriets the scarci
ty pressed upon all classes with equal se
verity, even these means of eubsistence
were soon exhausted. Next the bark of
trees, the stalks of millet taken from the
roofs of houses, and even a kind of white
clay, were greedily eaten by the starving
people Upon the old, young and weakly
the effect of want of fool soon began to
tell. One by one they died off, until whole
districts were depopulated of all but the
stronger men and women, and upon the
faces of these there cline the black, hag.
gard look of starvation.
la one enclosure, at one time full ofsub
stantial building, which had been pulled
down for the sake of the thither and sold
for a tew cash, was found a solitary man
sitting dejectably in the midst of his de
serted enclosure. His face was almost black
and he had a wild and haggard look. He
looked up when spoken to, however, and
in answer to the question of how many
members his family consisted, he said with
sobs that he alone was left out of sixteen.
In another Louse was a little boy some
thirteen years of age, who was the sole
survivor of a large family. Father, moth
'-r, brothers and sisters had all gone, one
by.one, and left the little lad to fight it
out alone.
So completely did the mural stamina of
the people become destroyed by want, that
the stronger f,:lt upon the weaker and de•
vuured them, and bands of starving
wretches, in whom the only instinct re
maitiing was that of self preservation,scour
ed the country to satisfy their inhuman
appetites. In vain the authorities tried by
almost as revolting punishments to put a
stop to the practice. They buried women
alive for eating their own children, with
no other effect but to add to general mur
tality. The extreme weakness'to which
even the strongest were reduced was pit
eous to a degree.
A CoaNwALL farmer told us that his
cattle were so gentle and kind that they
followed him all ever the farm, and in
passing a haystack they would often call
him, upon which he obligingly gave each
one a lock of lily. The traits relerr,Nl to
are not uncommon among domesticated
animals. We were visiting a family last
week in the vicinity of Goshen, and, hay

cow was grazing, when be followed us to

couldn't atop. So we lent our coat tail and

Fishing for Sharks.
At the head of the harbor, seven miles
east of the to.vn of Nantucket, is a pLice
called Wauwinet composed of two rude
summer hotels, where splendid fish dinners
are served. Several steam and sail yachts
ply between Nantucket and Wauwinet,
making two round trips each day. The
fare is 20 cents each way, and the trip is
a charming one. At Wauwinet only a
hank of eand an eighth of a mile wide sep
arates us from the main eastern shore of
the island. Here we find a party of sturdy
fishermen ready to take us on a sharking
expedition. We embark in "dories" and
are carried out to larger whale boats an
chored a short distance from shore. Sail is
then hoisted, and having reached half or
three quarters of a mile from shore, an
chors are dropped and work begins. Large
fish hooks a foot long connected by a yard
of chain to lines as thick as your little finger
and baited with a dozen small perch are
thrown into the water, which is here five
or six fathoms deep. The bait rests on
bottom and the fisherman holds his line
sufficiently taut to enable him to feel a
bite. He does not have to wait long. A
violent tugging tells him that he has a
shark on his hook. his c.aupanions assist
him, and the united efforts of two or three
are required to draw the animal's nose to
the gunwale of the boat. Then while some
bold him th: others begin a fierce assault
with clubs as thick as your wrist. Blow
after blow on the nose is kept up until the
animal is completely stunned, his tail
meanwhile keeping up a fearful lashing,
which, if not well protected with oilskin
oversuits, wets every one on the boat
through and through with salt water
Finally his lashings cease, and by the uni
ted efforts of the whole party he is hauled
over the side into the boat. Though now
perfectly quiescent, it is still dangerous
to place one's hands in too close proximity
to his triple row of sharp teeth. These
sharks are ugly things, six or seven feet
long, and perhaps 500 pounds in weight,
without scales, with sharp-pointed tails,
white bellies, small eyes and the great
cavernous mouths. Their teeth pointing
inward, are not used so much for dividing
their food as for holding on to it when
seized, their teeth acting as barbs. The
food is swallowed whole. They are very
numerous and bite freely, insomuch that
a party can in a day catch one apiece with
in an hour or two. Brought to land, the
honest fisherman first cut out their livers
from which cod liver oil is extracted. Their
carcases are then buried for a few months
until mostly decomposed, when they are
dug up for use as fertilizers
Immensity of the Stars.
It is known that the stars are true suns,
that some of them are larger than our own
sun, and that around these enormous cen
tree of heat and light revolve planets on
which life certainly exists. Our sun is dis
tant from us 38,000,000 leagues, but these
stars are distant at least 500,000 times as
far—a distance that, in fact, is incommen
jsurable and unimaginable for us. Viewed
with the unaided eye, the stars and the
planets look alike, that is, appear to have
the same diameter. But viewed through
a telescope, while the planets are seen to
possess clearly appreciable diameters, the
stars are mere luminous points. The most
powerful of existing telescope, that of
Melbourne, which magnifies 8,000 times,
gives us an image of one of planets posses
sing an apparent diameter of several de
grees. Jupiter, for instance, which seen
with the naked eye, appears as a star of'
the first magnitude, with a diameter of
forty-five degrees at the most, will in the
telescope have its diameter multiplied 8,000
times and will be seen as if it occupied in
the heavens an angle of 100 degrees. Mean
while a star alongside of Jupiter, and
which to the eye is as bright as that plan
et, will still be a simple dimensionless
point. Nevertheless, that star is thousands
of times more voluminous than the planet.
Divide the distance between us and that
planet by 8,000, and you have result a dis
tance relatively very small ; but divide by
8,000 the enormous number of leagues
which represents the distance of a star,
and there remain a number of leagues too
great to permit of' the stars being seen by
us in a perceptible form. In considering
Jupiter or any of the planets, we are filled
with wonder at the thought that this little
luminous point might hide not only all the
visible stars, but a number 5,000 fold
greater, for of stars visible to our eyes there
are only about 5,000. All the stars of
these many constellations, as the Great'
Bear, Cassiopia Grion, Andromeda, all the
stars of the zodiac, even all the stars which
are visible only from the earth's southern
hemisphere, might be set in one plane,
side by side, with no one overlapping an
other, even without the slightest contact'
between star and star, and yet they would
occupy so small a spa, e that, were it to be
multiplied by 5,000 fold, that space would
be entirely covered by the disk of Jupi
ter, albeit that disk to us seems to be an
inappreciable point._
A Local Editor's Dream.
Once upon a time a local editor dream
ed that he was dead and io another world.
He approached a city before him and knock
ed for admittance, bat no one answered
his summons. The gate remained closed
against him. Then he cried aloud for an
entrance, but the only response was scores
of heads appearing above the wall on the
other side of the gate. At sight of him
the owners of the heads set up a dismal
bowl and one of them cried, "Why didn't
you notice that big egg I gave you ?" At
this horrid interrogation the poor local
turned in the direction of the voice to learn
its owner, when another voice shrieked,
"Where's that piece yon were going to
write about my soda fountain ?" and close
upon this was the awful demand, "Why
did you write a piece about old Tomlin
son's hens and never speak about my new
gate ?" Whatever answer he was going
to frame to this appeal was cut short by
the astonishing query, "Why did you spall
my name wrong in the programme ?" The
miserable man turned to flee, when he was
rooted to the ground by these terrible de
mands, "Why did you put my marriage
among the deaths ?'' He was on point of
saying the foreman did it, when a shrill
voice madly cried, "Yon spoiled the sale
of my horse by publishing that runaway !"
and another, "If I catch you alone I'll
lick you for what you said about me when
I was before the police court ?" Another,
"Why didn't you show up the school ques
tion when I told you to ?" and this was
followed by the voice of a female hysteri
cally exclaiming, "This is the brute that
botched my poetry and made me ridic
ulous," whereupon hundreds exclaimed,
"Where is my article ' Give me back my
article ?" and in the midst of the horrid
din the poor wretch awoke, perspiring at
every pore and screaming for help.
Hints for the Sick Room.
Somewhere lately I read that in some
country house where milk was plenty, a
pan of it was placed near meat in the larder
to keep the latter fresh. lam sorry to be
so lame in my story, but the principle to
be carried out was that milk, beluga ready
absorbent, the bad air that would other
wise have tainted the meat flew to the milk
instead. My thoughts immediately re
verted to the sick room, where milk is of.
ten left standing for the use of the invalid ;
and it occurred to me that if this was the
case would it not just as readily absodi the
poisonous exhalations that arise there Y
Why. or how, I am not chemist enough to
explain, but—as most persons are aware—
water is a rapid absorbent of the taint of
paint ; and in a room freshly painted, a
pail of clean, cold water left standing there,
will quickly "take off the smell." Dip
your finger into the water which has been
thus left all night, and you will find it
tastes strongly of the paint. Milk is too
costly to be thus largely used, but a little
—say a saucer-full—might be placed for
experiment, and if it tastes of the paint
you may reasonably conclude that it would
taste just as much (certainly absorb just
as readily) of whatever impurities hang
round a sick bed when left standing near it.
L-t me impress upon invalids the im
portance of keeping their refreshments
covered. Many delicate persons not ab
solutely in need of night attendance yet
require a supply of night nutriment. I
know of an invalid home where almost
every patient is regularly supplied with a
glass of milk at the bedside for night use.
Then there are cooling drinks, jell*,
blancmanges, and a variety of liquids usu
ally seen at the invalid's bed side, and all
more or less absorbent. All should be
kept covered. I once visited an invalid
who had her bed-side table supplied with
an array of glasses, cups, tumblers, etc.,
the contents of not one of which could we
see, all being covered with a most amusing
variety of glass and porcelain lids. The
invalid liked to forget the contents of each,
and was amused to lift one or another of
the tiny covers and select a refreshment
which presented itself to her taste. And
to keep invalids amused, and ready to
relish what is provided for them, are im
portant duties in nursing. Such slight
attentions cost little trouble, while they
prove to the sufferer that he or she is
tenderly cared for.—From Land and Wa
ter.
The New Copying Process.
The Scientific American gives this brief,
simple description of the new gelatine pro•
Me :
Write with a steel pen on ordinary writ
ing paper; allow to dry; press the writing
gently upon the tablet, allow it to remain
a minute, when the greater part of the ink
will have been transferred to the gelatin
ous surface, and as soon as the paper has
been removed the tablet is ready to take
impressions from. Place ordinary writing
paper upon the charged tablet, smoothing
them over with the hand, and immediately
remove the sheet, which will be found to
bear a correct copy of the original writing;
repeat with other sheets until the trans
ferred ink is exhausted. Immediately
after, wash the tablet with water and a
sponge, let it dry, and it is ready for use.
With a tablet and ink prepared according
to the following, fifty good copies from
one transfer have been obtained, anddoubt
less with care it would double this num
ber. The proportions for the pad or tab
let is as follows : Gelatine, one ounce ;
glycerine, six and one quarter fluid ounces.
Cooper's gelatine and pure concentrated
glycerine answer very well. Soak the
gelatine over night in cold water, and in
the morning pour off the water and add
the swelled gelatine to the glycerine heated
to about 200° Fahrenheit over a oak water
bath. Continue the heating for several
hours, to expel as much water as poFsible,
then pour the clear solution into a shallow
pan or on a piece of of card board placed
on a level table, and having its edge turned
up about one eighth of an inch all around
to retain th , ! mixture, and let it remain
six hours or more, protected from dust.—
Rub over the surface a sponge slightly
moistened with water, and let it nearly
dry before making the first transfer. The
ink is prepared by dissolving one ounce of
aniline violet or blue (2 R B to 3 B) in
seven fluid ounces of hot water, and, on
cooling, adding one ounce of wine spirit
with one-quarter ounce of glycerine, a few
drops of ether and a drop of carbolic acid.
Keep the ink in a well stoppered bottle.
What We Like to See.
A wan worth $504100 who says that he
is to poor to take the local paper.
A man refuse to take his local paper,
and all the time sponge on his neighbor
the reading of it.
A man run down his local paper as not
worth taking, and ever now and then beg
the editor for a favor in the editorial line.
A merchant who refuses to advertise in
the home paper. and yet expects to get his
share of the trade the paper brings in
town.
A man complains, when asked to sub
scribe for his home paper, that he takes
more papers than he reads now, and then
go around and borrow his neighbor's, or
loaf about until he gets the news from it.
Above all, the rich, miserly man, who
cannot pay for his local paper, yet who is
always around in time to read the paper at
the expense of a friend, not worth the
tenth part of what he himself is, yet who
is enterprising enough to help support the
paper.
We like to see these things. because
they are indicative of economy, thrift and
progress—in a horn.
Keep the Body Ergot.
An erect bodily attitude is of vastly
more importance to health than most peo
ple imagine. Crooked bodily positions, if
maintained any length of time, are always
injurious, whether in sitting, standing or
laying posture, whether sleeping or wak
ing. To sit with the body leaning forward
on the stomach, or lo one side, with the
heels elevated on a level with the bead, is
not only in bad taste, but very detrimental
to health It cramps the stomach presses
the vital organs, interrupts the free mo
tions of the chest, and enfeebles the funct
ions of the abdominal and thoracic organs,
and, in fact, unbalances the whole muscu
lar system. Many children become slight
ly humpbacked, or severely round shoul
dered by sleeping with the head raised on
a high pillow. When any person finds it
is easier to sit or stand or walk or sleep in
a crooked position than a straight one,
sticks person may be ante his muscular
