One dav a courier, whose Lorse

great chief and told him that his

more before she passed to the happy

"I shall soon be at rest, my father,

promised bis child all she asked of
Lim, then the lustrous eyes glazed

the smile Ced from the wasted face,
and tho Indian girl was dead.

it will long remain a monument of
the saddest story of the plains.
Spotted Tail often speaks of his dead
daughter with affectionate remem

held with the whiles at Laramie, he
sai J:
"Were not the bopelc.-sncss of re

The value cf pictures, or rather
their superiority over words, as story-tellers,
is t-xcellently illustrated
by a couple of incidents which we
lind related in a. foreign contempora
ry. I a a village ia India, recently,
it became necessary in the course of
some engineering operations to trans
port an enormous mass of metal, I
weighing several hundred tons, from
one jint of the town to another.
Ordinary means were out of the
question; and as the engineers found
themselves unable to devise any pro
cess, they did the next best thing,
and wrote to other engineers in Fi:g-
who were constantly supcrvisingsu; h i
work. The latter, instead of writing ;

An Oyster IJ?ar(.
iN'ear tbe hinge of an cyster U a '
cavity which leads to its stomach. It
may be called, with a little license,
its mouth; not that it has teeth, or
that in any way it masticates food,
or that it indicates the place of the
head, for the oyster belongs to a di
vision of molluska known as the
arcpha!n!L!, er headless onc-s. Vut
is iunctionally a rnouth and is like
mouths in two important particulars.
It is the entrance of the food to the
alimentary canal; and it Las certain
lip-like organs with which to control
the entering food. If, the'n,' tbe
oyster's mouth is thu3 situated near
the hinge, that part of the creature
should be known as it3 anterior, or
forward end Tbe opening end, that
which the oystermen call the "nip,"
is therefore really the posterior ex
tremity. Every one knows that, ia opening
an oyster the knife has to be passed
through a stout organ, wrongly call
ed by many the eye, for the oyster is
eyeless. Some call it the heart.
This, also, is incorrect. It is the
great abductor muscle, with which
the animal draws together its valves.
Hut the oyster Las a true heart. It
is situated near to and forward of the
abductor muscle, that is, between it
and tbe mouth. If a finger of a
glove be cut off and inflated with jiir,
being closed up at the end, and then
a thread were tied round so as to con
strict it at the middle, we should have
something resembling ia shape pretty
nearly the oyster's heart. This small
orijaa is divided bv the constriction
into two lesser organs, an auricle,
aud a ventricle; a receiving and a
distributing reservoir cf the pale,
opalescent blood its true life current,
which animates every part of this
complex little being.
If an oyster be opened with suffi
cient tact nnd care, the heart can be
seen at work, beating much as our
hearts beat a true rhythmical pulsa
tion. Indeed, with watch ia hand,
the beats can be connted, as when a
physician makes a diagnosis of one's
pulse. As death nears, sd slow the
throbs of the oyster's heart. Edu

31 1 (-ration of Bird.
A recent writer presents the uovel 1
hypothesis that the migratory flight
of birds is an involuntary act. the
argument is, that at or about a cer
tain period of the ye'jr, when a strong
southern wind prevails in en upper
stratum of the air, a subtio atmos
pheric change, resulting from it, acts
upon the muscles of the birds in such
a way as to make them fly. Their
wings beat as naturally as their
hearts, and they cannot help going.
Kising up into the swift current of
air, they are borne along it as long as
the spasm lasts, which generally is
long enough to carry them to warm
er climates, although multitudes re
cover a little too soon and perish in
the sea. Some experiments made
upon migratory birds in captivity
lend plausibility to tho theory. Kept
Ta cages, covered with silk to protect
them from injury, these birds have
been observed, at the season of mi
gration, to be affected with a parox
ysm of flight,which continued through
a period answering in length to the
time occupied by birds m their semi
annual journeys. When the parox
ysm was over, the birds fell to the
ground, began preening their plum
age, and conducting themselves as if
they had just reached a new home
after ac extended journey. The ex
periments were made in both Fng
1 land and America with sirri'ar re
I suits.
AnerUotes of Ilrmrjr llij.
Mr. Clay's knowledge of human
nature was thorough and profound,
and he was able to put it to use at
any moment, as the following anec
dotes will show:
On a certain occasion he mot an
tild Lunter, who bad once been Lis
supporter, but who afterward went
against Lim on account of his vote on
a certain bill in Congress,
"Have you a good rifle, my friend?"
he asked of the hunter.
"Ve8."
"Hbes it ever flash in the pan?"
"It never did so more than once,"
the hunter answered, proud cf his
weapon.
"Well, what did you do with it?"
You didn't throw it away, did you?"
continued Mr. Clay.
"No; I picked tho flint, tried it
again, and brought down game."
"Have I ever flashed ia the pan,
except oa the compensation bill?"
"io, I can't say you have."
"Well, will you throw me away?'
, "So; I'll pick the flint and try you
over." So the Lunter grasped Mr.
Ciay's Land and gave Lim Lis vote.
At another time Mr. Clay was
visiting a backwoods country in
Kentucky, where the man who could
firo tbe best shot stood highest in
esteem, and the man who couldn't
shoot at all was looked upon with
contempt. lie was canvassing for
votes, whea he wa3 approached by
some old hunters, one of whom told
him that he would lc elected to Con
gress, but that Lc must first show
how good a shot he was. Clay de
clared that he never shot with any
rifle except Lis own, which was at
home.
"No matter. Here's 'Old Bess,' "
answered the hunter, irivins: him a
gun, "and she never tails in the!
hands of a marksman. She's put a!
bullet througu many a squirrel at a
hundred yards, and has let daylight
through a red-skin at twice that dis
tance. If you caa shoot with any
gun, you can shoot with "Old Bess.' "
A traget was set up, and Mr. Clay
aimed "Old F.ess" at it. lie fired
faint-heartedly, but the shot struck
the bull's eye in the centre.
"A chance shot! a chance shot!
cried Lis opponents.
"Never mind," he auswerod. "You
beat it, and thea I will."
No one could beat it, and Mr. Clay
had too much sense to try ii agaia.

I'reacli MciSe of SelpotluR Horses.
A l'aris correspondent of the Lan-
! caster Farmer savs : The purchasers
of horses for the French army always
endeavor to obtain a first look at tbe
animal whea he is tranquil and in the
stable ; noting if the animal supports
itscif equally "well on all its legs, and
if ono seems to yield, to specially ex
amine it; attention is then directed to
the largeness of the pupil of the eye,
which ought to bo more dilated when
in the stable, than when exposed to
full light. After the animal has been
led out of the stable, the eye ought to
he again examined to observe if the pu
pil has contracted; if not, the eight is
feeble; others, to test the power of
vision, feign to strike tho forehead
with the hand. If the hollow over
the eyes be profound, and the tem
ple grey, old age is to be concluded ;
wounds about the temple suggest at
tacks of staggers, and when tho end
of the nose presents circular scars, it
may be concluded the horse has been
twitched with a cord to enpure his
quietness while being shod or hav
ing had to submit to some painful
operation.
Vsoof Wool in tlicAtl trj.
For thelast four years we have
used wool quit? largely for various
purposes ia our apiary. We use
nothing- else for stopping up our
queen cages, rolling it for this pur
pose into a tight wad. The bees
cannot gnaw it away and seldom
propolise it. Wc shut up all our nu
clei, whea first formed, with wool.
It can be crowded into place in a mo
ment, admits air, and is easily remov
ed. If we wish for any purpose to
shut up a hive, we use wool. In the
working season we keep one pocket
full of wool, aud know nothing of the
vexations wc experienced when using
wire cloth. Occasionally a few bees
are caught ia the fibres of the wool,
but they are for the most part very
shy of it, and are quite indisposed to
commit y'7o de ac by hanging them
selves iu its meshes. Hobbcrs will
very quietly retreat from a Live well
wooied. If we use the words to
wool and unvrool a hive or nucleus,
instead of to shut up or open the cn
trace, our readers will understand
what we mean. L. L. Langdrolh.
Wticn to buy Sheep.
The National Live Stock Journal
says; As a rule, the best time to buy
is ia the late summer as flock mas
ters who have kept their sheep
through the winter prefer to shear
them before selling. It is usually
most profitable to do so. After the
first to the middle of August, the
lambs are ready for weaning, and tho
farmer know3 pretty well what the
increase of his flock is t'o be, also what
his crops of grain and grasses will al
low him to winter properly. The sea
son's yield at home also affords the
buyer better opportunity for gauging
the number of stock to suit the proba
ble contents of barn and granary.
Ordinarily, where the seller of store
sheep can be found in the spring, ten
can lje fjand ia the late summer or
fall.
I'lrSilins t iirniiibern.
A correspondent of the Massachu
setts Ploughman sends a recipe for
pickling cucumbers which he says he
has used for. many years He say3:
There may be simpler methods,
but none, I am sure, that can be fol
lowed by happier results. Pickles
made this way will keep hard aud
good the year around, and are al
ways of a beautiful green color.
Some say that cucumbers for pick
ling ought never to be washed or
rubbed, as u removes an outside
coating and impairs the quality of
the pickles. How true this may be
I Lave never determined by experi
ment ; but, to be ou the safe side,
we never wash them (unless very
dirty), the successive scalding clean
ing them sufficiently. Place the cu
cumbers in an earthen jar and pour
ever them a weak brine, scalding hot,
and let tbem stand in it 24 hours,
when it must be turned off, scalded,
skimmed, and turned on again to re
main another day, aad scalded again.
Now they must be freshened by pour
ing over them hot vinegar, and let
them stand a few days, when they
must be put into cold cider vinegar,
adding horse-radish root and any
kind of whole spices that one prefers.
Stir them occasionally to prevent
scum from rising. Many house
keepers labor with the mistaken idea
that pickle vinegar must be scalded
every time a white scum rises. It
docs no good whatever, only weak
ens the vinegar, and eventually kills
it outright. And just here let me ask
a question, Why does the scalding
of vinegar lessen its strength ? Is
not the killing'of those minute crca-i
tures to which good cider vinegar
j c3 iu viuIitv lh:e cause ?

Absence of Mind.
We heartily concur with tho Phil

Says the writer:
We Lave all laughed at the awk

their irrelevant remarks, their ludic

the ordinary proprieties of life. Oft
en, however, serious results ensue
through these seemingly trivial over

estranged, losses incurred, health nnd
even life sacrificed. Ia times of
strong excitement or peril cf any
kind, nothing is so valuable as pres
ence of mind. It is not exactly cour
age, or fortitude, or sagacity, or
judgment, but rather the calm and
well poised abi!;'y to marsnai an
these forces into action just where
and when they are most needed.
How many lives have been saved and
disasters averted by this simple en
dowment! How much of the hero
ism which wo delight to honor may
be traced to this potent source!
It is precisely this attribute of
w hich the absent minded man is des
titute. Whatever be his knowledge,
or wisdom, cr skill, however excel
lent his motives and intentions, how
ever great his powers and capacities,
he has not that control over them
that insures the rightful action of
each in its own time and place. IIo
is continually off guard, surprised,
confused, unprepared. His mind
may be of the finest order, but it is
not at its post of command, and his
powers are scattered aad lost like sol
diers without a leader.
Much of this absence of miud
might be avoided if concentration, of
thought upon one subject at a t'me
were made a prominent part of edu
cation. Cbirircn should be accus
tomed to think earnestly for short
periods, and then to dismiss the sub
ject wholly from their minds. Wea
riness, listlessness, and half-hearted
attention Bhould always be prevented.
It is far better for a child to play
with his whole soul than to play with
but a fragment of it. If be be thus
trained in his youth, if work and play
and study, each ia their turn, absorb
him utterly for the time, there will be
but little danger of his growing up
to be an absent minded man. Those
in mature life who have unfortunate
ly acquired thi3 pernicious habit may,
by a similar process of self-culture,
gradually overcome it No one who
indulges ia it can make the most of
his powers iu auy direction or give
out to tho world hi3 full value; and
certainly no one in our present va
ried and complex civilization can ful
fill Lis manifold relations in life un
less he resolutely bring all the pow
ers of his mind to bear upon each
one of them in its own appointed
season.
Fattening Snail.
One of tbe myriad singular indus
tries pursued by the ingenious Paris
ians is that of fattening snails for the
market. That the demand for this
article of diet is great is proved by
the fact that a larirc number of per
sons find profitable employment in
furnishing an adequate supply. -Most
snail-breeders who carry on their bu
siness outside the "barriers" of Paris
fatten the molluscs iu tanks, but some
prefer to keep tho creatures in the
open air. The preserve ia which
sottiU are fed is divided into eight or
ten separate enclosures, each of which
is surrounded by a line of sawdust
four inches broad, and freshly laid
each morning. This simple hedge is
an effectual barrier to any helix tempt
ed to indulge vagabond propensities,
and stray beyond tbe boundaries of
its allotted precincts. Each daily
consigument of snails is deposited in
one of the parks or enclosures, and
left to fast forty-eight hours. After
this they are moved to another park,
where they are provided with au ab
undance of food, consisting of cab
bages, lettuce, endives, thyme, and
vine leave3. Purified by their long
fast, the snails eat with voracity, and
ia eight or ten days are fat enough to
satisfy the eye and taste of a Paris
ian epicure. The tax upon fatted
snails is very small, but it is estima
ted that, were the levy to be raised to
one-quarter of that set upon oysters,
and fifty snails be counted as worth
one dozen bivalves, tbe revenue an
nually arising from their consump
tion in Parrs would amount to 200,
000 francs. It is said that a diet of
snails reduces a man's flesh until be
becomes a mere skeleton. Tho edi
ble snail of the Gold Coast has a
shell of three inches long by two
inches deep. From this he protrudes
a pair of tentacles four inches in
lc igth. These tentacles are the
choice part of the auimal, and are
served whole ia that savory com
pound called snail soup.
Can It Be?
And yet again the ruthless ham
mer of the iconoclast has smashed
another idol a memorable and lovely
idol. A few weeks ago be destroyed
the grave of Abelard and Heloise.
That wa3 his last exploit. Now he
comes in the shape of the Philadel
phia Historical Society, and tells us
there was no treaty signed by Will
iam Penn with the Indians. Says
this Society: "There was no written
instrument passing between the par
ties to the treaty. It was only this
and nothing more: a big talk and a
good time. No purchase or consid
eration whatsoever other than friend
ship passed between William Penn
and the assemblage of Delaware?,
Mingoes and other Susquehanna
tribes as they met in November,
1CS2, under the spreading branches
of the great elm tree, now marked by
a monument, and consented to what
Voltaire styled 'The ouly treaty nev
er sworn to and never broken.' " All
this makes bad work cot only w ith
Voltaire, but also with Mr. West's
familiar picture, fe school-books, the
histories, the advocates of philanthro
py, and tbe admirers of the noble In
dian. But even this can be endured,
if we could feel at all certain that the
iconoclast would ever cme to an end
,of his idol-s mashing. The fad feat
ure of the business is the uncertainty
and confusiou he creates. If there
was no Penn treaty, how can Wc feel
sure that there was a Magna Charta.
or a Declaration tf Independence?
Where is this thing going to stop?
How long will it be before thepi;st is
entirely obliterated? I'eally, it is
about time that the idol-smasher be
bidden t cease his work, and L ave
us our idols, even if they arc only
myths.
A countryman purchased a new
hat at a Burlington store, last week,
leaving the old one with the ruer
chant, who kicked it under the coua
tcr. Tbe next day the countryman
returned, and after a search among
the rubbish, found the old tile, and
turning down the band pulled out a
fifty dollar bill, quietly remarking,
"I came mighty near forgetting where
I put that money."
Tbe I'ses of Charcoal.
I lately noticed in your paper a
good description of tho way to burn
charcoal. I will give some of its
U3cs to tho farmer, from experience.
By keeping charcoal ia tho hog pea,
there w'ill be but little odor or disa
greeable smell, such as is usual. The
hogs appear to thrive better and fast
er, on less food, than ia a Bi.rc.Dg
smelling sty. They will consume
quite a quantity, which undoubtedly
does them good. Some should be
powdered, and some left ia chunks;
the powdered absorbs the wet, and
the hogs will eat the lumps as they
desire it. The refuso makes a most
excellent manure for onion3 or any
other vegetables. By putting a small
quantity in the horse stable every
day, under tho horse, it will absorb
the wet, aud keep the stable perfect
ly sweet and wholesome. As it is
removed from the stable keep it un
der shelter, dry it and sow it on the
meadows; the increase in the crop
will pay for the trouble.
Cow stables will receive the same
benefit and produce the 6amo results.
It is also invaluable in the poultry
house, in keeping it wholesome for
the fowls, aad making a most valua
manurc. The fowls will consume a
part of it, and are not 60 liable to
disease. It is also very beneficial in
the sheep pens or yards. By putting
a bushel or so of the powde-cd char
coal down the water closet, it will
remove the disagreeable smell which
generally attends such places, and
will remove the great objection there
is to oleauing them out.
"He Was Mighty Hard lo Kill."
Boston special to Chicago Times:
At Worcester, Saturday night, Fred
erick Bates, a bruketnan, fell from
the tender of a locomotors and was
picked up lifeless. Physicians pro
nounced his neck broken, but it was
noticed that ho breathed faintly. He
was quickly removed to the city hos
pital, but continued unconscious un
til late ia tho night, when an examin
ation of several physicians showed
that tho upper vertebra of tho spinal
column had been dislocated. With
slight surgical aid the dislocation was
remedied, and the man recovered
consciousness. This morning when
his breakfast a curt of coffee and
scuit was brought to Lim at the
hospital, he spurned the meal as not
sufficiently elaborate, arose from his
bed, dressed himself, and walked
down the street. His appearance at
the Farmers' Hotel created no little
sensation, but his acquaintances were
relieved of all ghostly fears when
they observed that he ate well. His
later appearance among the men at
the freight and engine houses of the
Norwich road created a still greater
sensation, and he was somewhat crit
ically examined as to his identity,
but his living appearance before rela
tives and friends who had heard of
his death in Worcester, oa Saturday
night, and had come up to this city
on the boat train this morning to
convey the body to the home of the
supposed deceased, was the crowning
sensation of all.
Mellow Soli.
Unless the surface of the ground
is mulched around young trees over
aa area ot six to ten leet in diame
ter, the ground should be kept clean
and mellow. Every farmer knows
that a hill of corn or potatoes will
not amount to much unless cultiva
ted, and there are many who will
neglect to give the same care to a
tree which is worth a hundred hills
of cither of the former. Ia rich soils
trees may grow rapidly without cul
tivation, and no amount of grass or
weeds will retard them ; but there
are other things besides growth to
be looked after. It the weeds and
grass are allowed tto grow up around
the stem of apple, peach or quince
trees, tho bark will become soft near
their base by being shaded, and
thereby be in a suitable condition
for the reception of the eggs which
will eventually become peach or ap
ple borers. Take any dozen young
apple trees ia sections where the-bor-
er is abundant, and allow a portion
to bo choked with weeds and the
remainder well cultivated, and watch
the result. From our owa experi
ence, we believo that the chance3 are
nine to one ia favor of those cultiva
ted being exempt from the pest.
American Agriculturist.

Washington never made a speech.
In the zenith of his fame he once at
tempted it, failed, and gave it up con
fused and abashed, la framing the
constitution of the United States the
labor was almost wholly performed
in committee of the w bo!e, of which
George Washington was the chair
man; but he made two speeches dur
ing the convention, of a very few
words each. The convention, how
ever, acknowledged the master spirit,
and historians affirm that, had it not
been for his personal popularity and
the thirty words of Lis first speech
pronouncing it the best that could be
united upon, the constitution would
have been rejected by tbe people.
Thomas Jefferson never made a
speech. He couldn't do it. Napo
leon whose executive ability is al
most without a parallel, said that his
greatest difficulty was in Ending men
or deeds rather than words. nen
asked how he maintained his influ-
cuce over his superiors ia age ana
experience when commander-in-chief
of an army iu Italy, Le said, by re
serve. TLe greatness of man is not
measured bv the length of his speech
es and their number.
licinniiip; ofthe Revolution.
Dr. Franklin, writing to his friend
Priestly on tae ICth of May, 1775,
says with that easy banter which was
one of his characteristics:
"You will have heard, before this
reaches you, of the march stolen by
regulars into the country by night,
and of their expedition back again.
They retreated twenty miles in six
hours."
Tho successful raid, tbe s. nies or
skirn.i'hes thu3 lightly alluded to,
had a more serious significance in
England. In a speech delivered at
Concord in 1S30, Edward Everett
said:
"I often heard ia Eoglaudagea
tlemaa of great literary eminence
I wish it were proper to repeat his
name say that when the news of the
10th of April arrived in England, his
father, with a sorrowful countenance,
announced it to his family assembled
at prayers, lie then ordered a suit
of full mourning. Somo one asked
if Le had lost a frietd a relative?
'Yes,' was the answer; 'many frieuds,
many relatives, many brethren, at
one "blow, in Lexington and Concord
in Amorica."
Mr. Bancroft relates the same sto
ry ia two parts, assigning the an
nouncement at prayers to the father
Rogers the poet, and the "suit of full
mourning" and the "many brethren"
to the Recorder of Loudon.
