The American Tiger, The oougar, or American tiger, which is not unfrequently killed in the South west and in Texas, seldom measures more than sis feet in length j and fortunately for they are very destructive they are but seldom seen in any inhabited part of our continent; but. wo notice that one was recently slain in California which measured nine feet, including the tail, which is about one-third of the whole. Their habits are exceedingly solitary, and they never approach the residences of human beings except when impelled by hunger preferring the most retired pusses in the mountains and the deeper gloom of the swamps. Hunting only for game in the night, and possess ing, as wo have already stated, an extra ordinary power of concealment, tfiey are strangers everywhere, and their" ap pearance throws neighborhoods into ex citement, for the mystery attending their movements ever exaggerates the idea of their power to injure and destroy. The cougar reaches the top of a tree with almost the ease of a bird depend ing upon his claws to retain the momen tum in his favor gained by his first spring. Selecting a lower limb of some gigantic tree that overhangs a watering place, or a " salt-lick," if one be in the neighborhood, he lies extended along his perch, looking upon the most critical examination of a spectator more like a line of dried moss, or an excrescence on the bark, than a blood-thirsty beast of prey. Here ne keeps his vigil his eyes alone' are moving ; but even their fires are partially quenched from, observation by silken lushes, which, like the lantern of the thief, darken the light that it may not betray. Most animals of the forest drink at night, and at particular places ; thus finally the deer, the elk, or even the lordly buffalo appears, and ere it has slaked its thirst, the cougar has dropped from his nestling-place and descended as quiotly as a dried leaf upon the neck of his victim. But now all is changed the ' cougar instantly becomes the active fiend his claws and teeth sink into the quiv ering flesh, and away flics the fated vic tim with the speed of an arrow. In vain it rushes against the trunks of trees, or scours through the hospitable cane-brake to brush off the destroyer the cougar has fastened himself with the tenacity of death, and even as the wild race contin ues, drinks up the warm and throbbing blood. Life, tenacious as it is among the ruminants of the forest, is soon sap ped by the remorseless appetite of the destroyer ; and as the victim falls and expires, the cougar stealthily extends himself along the body, suspiciously glances around, as if challenging a dis pute for the prize, and then satisfies for the moment his insatiable appetite. Excited now, rather than appeased, he rushes back to his eyrie, resumes his watching, and darts down again upon some helpless animal, accompanying his acts with ten-fold ferocity blood rather increasing than appeasing his lust. Thus passes the night, until the butcher is lit erally covered with gore. The first streak of the morning sun that illumes the horizon sends him to his hiding-place. With the stealthy, cowardly step of the midnight assassin and murderer, he seeks obscurity, and calms his passions by cleansing his soiled coat of every stain, and at the olose of the labor sinks into disturbed sleep, to resume his work again when the darkness of night rests upon the earth. There are times, however, when a de stroyer more terrible than the cougar himself is on his path. Tho hunter has brought the well-trainee,, .dogs to assist him on the scent, ana already the deep bay of the excited hound is yelping forth the desire for blood. The wild beast a short time before so relentless, so fiowerf ill, and in his domain so apparent y omnipotent feels that his doom is sealed. Strange as it may be, he has an instinctive dread ; the lord of the crea tion is upon him ; the breath of powder unnerves his muscles of iron ; and the cougar flies flies with even more terror than the helpless deer that has suffered in his grasp. As a last resort, he mounts a tree ; the unerring scent of the dogs shames the sight in its knowledge, and betrays the presence of the now immola ted destroyer. The sharp ringing of the rifle is tollowed by the. body ot the hto less couarar coming: helpless to the ground ; for, with all his power, he yields to the fiat which gave man dominion over every living thing that moveth upon the tace or the earth. Tho Education of Daughters. We lately, says an exchange, gave a very nice letter from a " Boarding School Friend." In that letter .occurred this question, supposed to be asked by mother : " Where shall I put my daugh ter ( Uur correspondent gave her an swer, and we beg to give ours. In this day of easy parting of American mother and daughter, tor purposes or ed ucation, or travel, or mere pleasure, just in the tender years ot the daughter, the question is one of very deep interest, and one American mothers should take to heart with all the weight of that respon sibility that attaches to the delicate duty ot molding the American leniale mind, manners and morals. Our answer will not suit the fashion of the day, but there are scores of mothers who will yield a hearty " Amen to it. Keep the daughter during her tender years when her character is forming jutt .as near the mother as possible. Fart not the mother and daughter unless there exists a necessity that is perfectly over ruling. There is no boarding school this Bide ot heaven that can supply the moth er's place. The knowledge between the two lids of all the books extant is of far less value to the girl than the care, the counsel, the example of a yearning moth er. There must be boarding schools, but those girls who by force of circumstances are obliged to go away from home to school are to be commiserated, for they are taken away from the mother just when they should have the niotheri care, and the best boarding school on earth cannot supply the place ot " home teachings. Foreign travel, under the lead of i hired governess, is no such training as a young girl can have under the lead ot a mother's apron string. There is nothing that can supply the place, t the charac ter just forming, of the judicious, edu cated mother, end the fearful evil of to day is the fashionable cruelty that dic tates separation of daughter and mother jutt at the teuderest time of the young girl s lite. The cholera has broken out with great virulence in amerent parts of India. Up to August 21 the deaths of 227 Europeans all in the army had been reported. Tho disease lias severely attacked her Majes ty's Sixty-fifth regiment, and at last ac counts the troops were to be sent into camp at llawul l'indo. The natives are also suffering terribly, Diagnosis of the Horse Disease. Df. A. Liantard, of New York, in a lottor to Dr. E. II. Janus, the Sanitary Inspector, writes as follows : The Canada, Rochester, or new horse disease, as it is called, is not a now dis ease it is nothing else but influenza, catarrhal fever, epidemiquo laryngite, typhoide laryngite of the French, an af fection which we have had and most likely will have again at different periods. At first characterized by catarrhal in flammation of the air passages, it mani fests iteelf at present by the symptoms of mild, laryngitis, and this will, if properly treated, soom yield to treatment. If, on the contrary, affected animals are kept at work and exposed to atmosphcrio influ ences, the disease will progress and seri ous if not fatal complications of tho lungs will take place. Tho etiology of the disease is far from being to-day thoroughly understood j we, however, know it to bo more frequent in the spring or fall of tho year, and it is said to be most dangerous during the prevalence of easterly winds. The symptoms will vary according to the different stages of tho affection, from a Blight catarrhal affec tion of the larynx to positive congestion of the lungs all, however, being prin cipally characterized by fjeimral debility, loss of appetite, cough, discharge at the nose, at the eyes, weuk pulse, increased temperature, weakness of the circutytory apparatus exhibited by the condition of the pulse, which is soft and compressible, sometimes so weak that it is hardly per ceptible, and in many cases by the yel low appearance ot the visible mucous membranes, especially that of the eye. The diagnosis of the disease can be easily made, and no well-educated veterinarians will have difficulty in recognizing, treat ing, and, in many instances, mastering it. The prognosis is not generally serious, especially if the diseoso is taken at the onset and the animal placed at once under proper treatment. But as the disease is in many cases insiduous in its course, it requires close watching. As to the treat ment, It is certain that the conditions of the patients do not indicate blood letting, purgatives, arterial sedatives, setons, etc. Especially debilitating in its nature, tho veterinarian will, while attending to the local symptoms of laryngitis by anodine, cough mixtures, or pastes, mild counter irritants of tho throat, such as liniment, mustard applications, and in tome cases blister, fumigations of boiling water, of decoctions of poppy-heads, or others of the kind, watch the general condition of his patient, its loss ot appetite, ot gen eral strength ; and soon he will be obliged to combine this treatment with the ad ministration of stimulutits, and none will prove more beneficial than the car bonate of ammonia mixed with camphor. These are diffusive stimulants, which in connection with vegetable tonics will produce the most magnificent result, if administered in the shape of pills four or six times a day as the case may re quire. '. In many cases small doses ot diuretics of nitrate of potash in the drinks or in rectal injections have as sisted in allaying the febrile symptoms. bbould the complications ot the trachea, bronchial tubes, or of tho lungs take place, more active treatment will suggest itself, as by the use of more powerlui counter-irritants upon the sides of the chest or along the trachea. There is in the treatment of the present epidemic a very essential point to take into con sideration, and which relates to the hy- gienio attendance ot the affected animals. Kest as soon as affected is essential, as, if the animal is kept at work, the disease will progress, and may prove latal m a few hours.'' This is a part of the treat ment I think veterinarians ought to in sist upon very firmly : Good hygiene by proper and comfortable temperature of the stables ; blanketing according to the condition of the ambient atmosphere : bandaging ot the extremities after a good hand-rubbing. Wiping of the nostrils with vinegar and water is also recom mended. Feeding, of course, requires much attention and careful handling warm gruels, scalded mashes, and oats mixed with flax-seed. In a few cases roots, carrots, turnips, or fruits, apples ; these to be given according to the condi tion of the bowels. I would also highly recommend proper ventilation, cleaning of the stables of manure-pits, white washing of the stables, and the free use of disinfectants. Immense Depth of English Coal Mines. Science seems' helpless to prevent dis asters or explosions in the bituminous mines of England and Wales. In Amer ica, nearly all the accidents are the re sult of gross negligence and defiance of statute laws on the part of the compa nies. Nearly all ot thorn occur, too, among the anthracito coal mines of Pennsylvania. Our bituminous coal is mostly taken, from near the surface of the ground, the " shaft " being often merely a horizontal passage cut in the side of the mountain, with ramifications on the right and left. Even our anthra cite mines have in few cases extended deeper than six hundred feet. In Eng land and Wales, however, the shafts sometimes extend a distance of threo thousand feet more than half a inile under ground. The miner's life is like that of the pearl diver ; he constantly faces well-understood danger for the sake, of gaining a livelihood. In entering the mouth of a pit, he leaves behiud him not only the light and beauty of the world, but that sense of security on which the comfort of most men depends. He passes even beyond the protection of science, as it is now. Science, however, has done much for him. It has provided him with a safety lamp, and its efforts to ven tilate the mines have been partially suc cessful, llow many more lives must be lost before the success is completed r1 The record of the last year has not been en couraging. Home Reading. One of the most pleasant and noblest duties of the head of the family is to furnish its members with good reading. Let good reading go into a home, and the very atmosphere of that home gradually but surely changes. The boys begin to grow am bitious, to talk about men, places, books, the past and the future. The girls begin to feel a new life opening before them in knowledge, duty and love. They see new fields ff usefulness and pleasure; and so the family changes, and out from its number will grow intelligent men and wamen, to till honorable places, and bo useful members of society. Let the torch of intelligence be lit in- every household. Let the old and young vie with each other in introducing new and useful topics of investigation, and in cherishing a love of reading, study and improvement. A man at Belvidere, 111., has been fined 1 100 for selling liquor to a confirmed drunkard, The Canons of the West. Two great rivers the Colorado and the Rio Grande find their sources in Colorado Territory, draining the oppo site sides of the same ran go of moun tains. One running south-westward, finds an outlet in the Gulf of California j tho othor, taking . a southerly course, goes to swell the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Thoso rivers are remarkable for the deep and extensive coffins or gullies through which they run. For many, miles the llio Grande runs through a deep and precipitous ravine, over a narrow, rocky bed, its course con stantly broken by rapids and whirlpools. On the right hand of this chasm lies Mexico, on the left the United States. Far away in the distance, extending to tho very mountain-top, are seen the in dications of a canon which marks the channel of some tributary stream. The surrounding country is leafless and barren an arid rocky desert. The Grand Canon of the Colorado is more remarkable even than that of the Rio Grande for the height of its preci pices and tho desolation of the neighbor ing country. Not only is the main stream deep cut in the earth, as thoilgh a fissure had been formed by an earth quake, but the country is intersected by its tributaries, which are buried in a like manner. The traveller, pursuing his way over an apparently level sandy desert, suddenly ond frequently finds himself on tho brink of an abyss, de scending almost perpendicularly many hundreds of feet, in the depth of which rolls a rapid, narrow and muddy stream. The appearance of these precipices give a semblance of truth to the stories about that region, of travellers who have "walk ed along the brink of the canon walls in search of a passage down to the waters, but vainly travelled for days, and then perished for thirst in sight of the river below, which roared its mockery into dying ears." Sometimes the surface of the canon wall is dull and gray in appearance, and the deep shallow in which it is frequent ly buried, produces an effect of indes cribable gloom. Again, the wall is cut through layers of red and orange sand stone, which " glitter in resplendent beauty under the midday sun." A recent traveller through the Yel lowstone country speaks of the gorgeous colors to be seen in the Canon of the Yellowstone, a canon which, in the wiltl ness and magnificence of its scenery probably far supercedes the others. In the country of these canons the soil is of such a nature that water easily works upon it. Even the rocks wear away readily. The present appearance of the country shows that it has been subject to no convulsions of nature for a long period of time. For ages the peb bles and sand have been gradually worn and washed away by the action of the Btreams, and the rock has been cut slowly, but suiely, by the same agency. The channels of the streams have sunk deeper and deeper into the heart of the earth, until the abysses are hundreds, and sometimes, thousands of feet in depth, with sides, in most cases, so verti cal that either descent or ascent is im possible. The streams flowing so far be low the surface of the land, are useless lor irrigating purposes. As there is no moisture there is no evaporation, and consequently little or no rain. Tho sur face ot the country presents the appear ance of a barren desert, incaj able of cul tivation. . Whether these regions, with their labyrinths of gorges filled with narrow, turbulent streams, and with their dry, unproductive sui faces, will ever be utilized by civilizatien, remains to be seen. It is a wonderful country, but a country that seems destined, by its very nature, to remain forever uninhabited. rrejiidice Against Potatoes. In Germany there exists a decided prejudice against potatoes, because they are composed ot three-tourths water, with but ten to fifteen per cent, starch contained in indigestible cells. Ihe French, who make a perfect science of the wholo business ot nourishment and cookery, rarely eut potatoes except occa sionally tried tor the second breakfast. They consume beans more than any other vegetables, and with reason, tor dried beans contain twenty-two per cent, al bumen and htty ot starch, and the com mon lentils twenty-six per cent, of albn men and filty-six of starch. In the monasteries of France and Italy great quantities ot beans are used, especially during the Lenten season. German nat uralists are now searching all over the world for a substitute for potatoes, and this is believed to have been found in China in tho dio&eorea 'lavnnica. which en dures the greatest cold, and is more nour ishing and better flavored than the po tato. In the Museum of Natural History at Paris a specimen three feet long and weighing tluee pounds was exhibited. Several German writers upon races predict that nations, far from improving, will deteriorate, both in physical and mental characteristics, if potatoes become a principal article ot diet. The celebrated Carl Voightsays "that the unnourishing potato does not restore the wasting tissues, but makes our prole' tariats physically and mentally weak." The Holland physiologist Mulder gives the same judgment, when he declares " that the excessive use of potatoes anion 2 the Poorer classes, and coffee and tea by the higher ranks, is the cause of the indolence ot nations. Leidentrost maintains that the revolutions of the last three centuries have been caused by the changed nourishment. In former days the lowest workmen ate more flesh than now, when the cheap potato forms his principal subsistence, but gives to him no muscular or nervous strength A Suit for Malpractice. The cele. brated suit for $10,000 damages against Dr. Cross, ot Kochester, Minn., for mat practice, in setting a boy s arm, has re suited in favor of the doctor, and the plaintiff has to pay the costs. The facts of the case briefly are that the boy was turning on a horizontal bar, fell and broke his wrist. Dr. cross was called, and set the arm ; called the next day and dressed it again, doing it up in per manent splints. When he called on the third or fourth day there is a slight dispute af to the time he found ruorti flcation Betting in, and accordingly had to amputate the hand. The plaintiff claimed that the rnortihcation bad been occasioned by the bandage being too tight on the arm, thus stopping the cir culation of the blood. Ihe doctors de fense was that the injury to the wrist had obstructed the arteries, and was the cause of the mortification. The uniform testimony of the surgeonB in attendance was that the operation bad been per formed in a skillful manner, and even the old physician of the family, who had been summoned front Wisconsin, gave the same opinion, FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Indiait Muffins. Sift and mix to gether one pint and a half of j ellow In dian meal, and one handful f wheat flour j melt a quarter of a pound of fresh butter in one pint of milk j beat four eggs very light, and stir into them, al ternately (a little of each), the milk when it is quite cold, and the meal, adding one small teaspoonful of salt; the whole must be beaten vigorously ; then butter some " muffin-rings j" set them on a hot griddle, and pour some of the batter into each. Send the muffins to table hot, and split them by pulling them open with your fingers, as ft knife will make them heavy. Eat with butter, molasses, or honey, Afixe Jelly. Take sour apples, cut them without paring into an earthern dish, and cover them with water; let them cook slowly until the apple is cooked through and looks red, then strain through a cloth, squeezing them so as to get all the juice ; boil the juice half an hour, then to a pint of this liquid add half a pound of sugar (don't use dark sugar), and boil quickly fifteen minutes ; then cool, and you will have nice jelly if your apples are good, and you have been careful, and made no mis take. Keeping Onions. The New Fngland Homestead says : " Onions will withstand far more cold than is usually supposed. If packed dry in tight barrels, and all interstices filled with chaff, they may be kept in a barn, or where they will freeze quite hard, and not be injured, provided the barrels are closed tight and not opened until the onions are again thawed. Onions stored in a warm cellar are very likely to sprout in Winter, and then decay, emitting anything but an greeable odor. Fillet of Veal. Brown a'little flour in some butter, add some stock to it, a laurel-leaf, pepper, salt, a little cayenne, glass ot Maderia, a tew button mush rooms, and a couple ot trunles cut in pieces ; lay the fillet which must be previously half-roasted in this gravy, stew it for half an hour, and serve, re moving the laurel-leaf. Forcemeat balls and stewed sweetbreads may be used as garnish. Deviled Turkey. Take a cooked leg of turkey or large fowl, cut it all over to the bone, pepper and salt it well, using black peper and cayenne, then get some mixed mustard, mix it with about a third its quantity of flour, and plaster the leg over with this mixture as tincK as it will stick, also stuffing the gashes with it j when this is done, put it on a gridiron on a clear fire. Serve hot. To Cuiie Curb. I have cured curb on a young horse by giving complete rest. It the animal must be worked, a high-heeled s'loe should be used.
