A Fight for Supremacy.
A p'litleman rcsidiii';' In this eitv had oc
ension a few days since to take a journey
down the river and several miles back from
it, usin a saddle horse. Parkness over
took him in a sparsely settled district, and
as the roads were in a bad condition and the
evening looked thrcateninjr, he halted be
fore a forlorn looking hut and asked if he
tould find lodging.
1 reckon ye moupht," replied the long
haired, .sorrowful-eyed squatter, after hesi
tuting a moment.
The A'ieksburger found little to eat, and
his horse found still less. The squatter and
his wife were all alone, and they had but
few -words for the stranger, and scarcely
spoke to each other. AVhen the evening
grew old, the traveler camped down on the
Hoor on a blanket, and being very tired he
fell asleep, while host and hostess were
smoking their black clay pipes at the other
end of the room, lie had slept about two
hours, when the squatter shook him by
the shoulder and said :
''Stranger, I'm powerful sorry to dis
turb ye, but I want to ax a favor."
"Yes yes what is it?" inquired the
Vieksburger, as he rubbed his eyes and
sat up.
" Ye like to see fa'r play, don't ye stran
ger :
" Yes, of course."
"Wall, iue'11 the old woman can't agree;
somehow she's cross and tetchy, and I guess
I'm a trifle ugly. Leastwise, Ave don't hug
up worth old bools. We've fit and fit ; I'm
old aud she's chuck full o' grit, and its
about an even thing."
' Well, I'm sorry," put in the Yieksbur
ger. as the squatter hesitated.
We ve been a-balkiu' since ye cum,
stranger, and we've made up to ask ye to
hold the caudle and to let us go in for an
old rouse r of a fight a reg'lar old sock
dologer, which shall settle our fuss! If I
lick, she'll go; if she licks, I'll travel !"
" 1 m sorry if there's any trouble, aud I
hope vou won't fiirht."
" We've got to do it, stranger," replied
the woman. " I won't live with a man
who can lick me, and he's just as high
born, bam s as good as the run o men,
but he's lazy and sassy, and lie wauts to
wear his liat on his ear!
" She's right, stranger," said the squat
ter, "and this cabin can't hold both of us,
any longer. It's to be a squar' fight no
kicking or clubbing, and we won tgo back
011 ver decision."
The Yicksburiier protested, but the wo
man placed a lighted caudle in his hand,
and posted him in the door, and man and
wile stepped out on the ground.
'buke, I'm going to wallop ye ncrht
mart in ju.it four hoots and a holler ;"
said the squatter, as he pushed up his
sleeves.
"Sam, yc don't weigh 'nuff into three
tons!" she replied in a grim voice ; and the
battle commenced.
Tll Vicksburger mentally bet twenty to
one on t,he man at
the start, but in two
minutes he bail reduced the odds to ten.
and in two minutes more he was betting
even. The wife was like a wild-cat, spring
ing, dodging, striking, and clawing, and
pretty soon her husband had to stand on
the defensive.
"Look out for the Denial tiger, Suke!"
he warned as he c;awcd the air
"I can whip the boots oft "n ye. Sam!"
she rcTilied and the battle tcw ii-nver.

That's the dead-word. Suke, and I'm
a licked man !" he mournfully answered.
She let him up, and he turned to the
Vicksburger and inquired :
''Stranger, was it a far fought?"
"I uuess it was."
" Then I travel ! "
lie entered the hut. Put on his coat and
hat, took up his rifle, and as he came out,
. ,
he reached his hand to his wife, and said :
" jood-bye, Suke ! We agreed fa rand
souar' and here I ro ! " Then, turning to
the traveler, he added :
'Oluch obleeged, stranger ye held the
candle, plum fu'r, and ye didn't holler for
either one of us!"
And he walked down to the fence, leaped
over, aud was soon lost to sight.

Speakin" of the iee works of the manu
facturiug company at Montgomery, Ala
bama, a correspondent ol the AUccrtwr
irives the following interesting account of
the manner in which the threat frigid luxury
is made : Seventy thousand gallons of water
are used daily in the maufacture of 1 -,000
uoumi
ds of ice the cost ol which when
ii aci'd in the ice house, is inree-eigui.s t.i
. . 1 .! 'li f
cent per pound, which is cheaper than the
frei'dit from the lakes it the ice was put
.. i it ri' a :
on the cars gratis, besides the advantage
"vttin" it in small ituantities when desired
and being mucli cleaner and purer than
lake ice.
The di.-tillcd water is put in tiu cans
, 1
thirty inches long, nine and a half inches
wide and two ami three-lourtli inches IhKiv,
. .. ... i .iii. . i-i -i . . .. . I. .. i i I-. .
which leaves the. ice l i convenient .shape
for handling. These cans are then placed
in rows in tanks filed with set water
come quite to the tops of the cans so as to
mix the distilled water which they contain),
through which iron pipes conduct th- ether.
The ether is made in another room and
after being purified is pumped into a re
ceiver and brought under a pressure of 70
to 1 10 pounds to the square inch, which
liquidizes it. Jt is then forced through a
small tube to a large tube which opens into
al! the tanks (about 100 pipes in each
tank) ; it then expands into a gas and fills
all the tubes (its capacity for expansion be
ing as 1 to GOO.)
The ether extracts the calorie from the
water which surrounds the tubes, thus
equalizing the temperature, and bringing
the whole below the 1 reeling point, the dis
tilled water freezing very readily, and salt
water being brouirht down several decrees
colder than ice, yet without freezing. The
gas passes on through the pipes and into a
receiver, from which it is pumped into an
ether holder and again reduced to a liquid
by pressure, which is facilitated by passing
it through a long coil of pipe surrounded
by cold water. It is then forced through
the tubes again and performs the same
work over. Some of the ether gas pipes
were covered with snow to the depth of
three-quarters of an inch, which collected
from the surrounding atmosphere. It is
very difficult to confine it, but if not allowed
to escape the same quantity can be used
continually. It is said to be much better
than mercury ; as the latter eats out copper
pipes in a short time, and iron pipes in two
years, while the latter does affect the metals.
The cans are taken out one at a time
and dipped into a vat of hot water, which
loosens the cake of ice, which then slips
out, and the can is again filled and set in
in its place. This is done three times a
day. The slabs of ice weigh twenty-five
pounds each, and four of them are piled on
top of each other and allowed to freeze to
gether, making one hundred pounds to the
block. These blocks are kept separate by
placing small sticks between them.
It is said that this ice is actually colder
(if such a thing be possible) then lake ice ;
that in a room at 100 Farh., in summer,
it would not even show moisture on the
surface for fully fifteen minutes.
Cure for Hydrophobia.
3Irs. J. (j. Swisshelm, at the request of
an aged lady in l'ittsburg, communicates
the following receipt for curing hydro
phobia, to the Commercial of that city. It
is called the "Old Chester Valley Cure,"
and, it is said, has been used in hundreds
of cases, in none of which it has ever been
known to fail. Mrs. S.
gnes mis account
of the origin of the remedy
"In her old home m Uiesters county,
lived a derman named .Jacob hmery. wlio
used to be sent lor, far and wide, wnen any
one had been bitten bv a rabid animal. lie
went to his patient, carrying something un-
derstood to be a root, which he, himself,
dug in the woods, lie milked a pint of
""Ik fresh from the cow, put his root into
it, boiled it, gave it to the patient, fasting ;
made him last alter taking it ; gave a second
and third dose on alternate days, and never
failed in cUbetititr a cure. In some way
which she has forgotten, his secret trans-
pired, and the root was known to be
1 till . 1
elecampane. Hie story, current m the
country, was that an old derman made the
discovery in the days of l'enn, and applied
to the 1'ennsylvania Legislature for a grant
of 300 for making his secret public His
otier was treated wild contempt, and lie
resolved that his knowledge should die with
mill : out, a i
Iruuken son knew it, wrote
out the receipt, making a number ol copies,
I a .
and tried to seil them at a dollar a piece.

Ufl ol tiiem was otiered to my imormants

only succeeded in selling two, one of these
to the man who made such effective use of
it. So well did he establish the local reputa-
Mn ot n's ulecilie, that, iii his neighbor-
hood, lolks were not afraid ol mad dogs.
H's reputation was pa railed to that of Doc-
tur .Marchaut, ol lirecushurg, to whom
every one, in that part of the country,

used to go, or send, wneu Uitien uy a

llic intelligence and integrity el my
informant are beyond question, and I re-
gret inat ner ioe oi pinacy snouui per-
vent her giving the weight of her name to
her conviction that you have published an
unfailing specific for hydrophobia. The
people ol Chester alley are not ol a class
likely to be misled by superstition, aud she
was given, and the patient recovered. She
is anxious you should publldi the receipt
again and again, keep it standing, and call
- attention to it until every one cuts out and
- preserves a copy, and is impressed with the
importance ol using t ho remedy, at once,
in case of danger. The medical properties
,f elecampane arc very powerful. Milk,
itself, is a specific- for main' poisons, and
while the medical faculty know no cure for
this terrible disease, we should open every
a avenue ol ir'nt inw the tiarK sii.deci.

well 'knew that, whether she boiled it or
made it up into chowder, her husband
would seold her when he came home. Hut
she resolved to pi east! him lir once, if pos
sible, and therefore cooked portions of it in
several dil'eivnt styles, and with somedilli
cnlty procured an amphibiotis animal from
the brook and plunged it into the pot.- In
due time the husband came. home. Sotnu
covered dishes were placed on the tabic,
and with a frowning, limit-finding look, tho
moody man commenced the conversation :
" Well, wife, did vou ret the lish I
bought?"
" Yes, husband."
" I should like to know how you cooked
it. 1 11 bet anything you spoiled it for my
eating." (Takes off the cover.) " 1 thought
so. What in creation possessed you to fry
it? I would as leave cat a boiled frog."
" nYIiv, husband, I thought you liked it
best fried."
" You didu't think any 'such thing; you
know better. I never liked fried . fish.
Why didn't you boil it ? How stupid !"
" Why, Zachariah, the last time we had
fresh fish, you know, I boiled it and you
said you liked it best fried, liut I have
some boiled also." So saying she lifted tin
cover, and lo ! the shoulders of a boiled
cod were deposited in a dish a sight of
which would make an epicure rejoice, but
which only added to the ill nature of her
husband.
"A pretty dish th'u !" exclaimed he';
" boiled fish ! chips ami porridge ! Tf you
hadn't been one of the most stupid of wo
mankind, you would have made it into
chowder ! "
His patient wife, wiih a smile, immedi
ately placed a tureen before him. containing
an excellent chowder. " My dear," said
she, " I was resolved to please you. There
is your favorite dish."
" Favorite dish, indeed ! I daresay it H
