probably never known a time when |

that, to old and young, the history of)
the match can not fail to prove inter
esting, ns on the one hand it calls ap |
! the vivid associations of early life, and
| on the other it will reveal a great many |
new facts.
Beyomd all question, fire was a di
rect gift froin God to man, whether at |
the first saeritice, or at an earlier peri
od we kaow wot. Aal, curiously |
enough, all tradicion points to ths |
origin of fire. The Moslem fe'ls ws
that Gabriel instructed Xdom and Eve
how to make beead ; and when an oven
[ had been made under his direction, he
| fetched fire from held with which to
heat it. The angel, however, took the
precaution to wash this fire seventy
times in the sea, ns otherwise it would
have burnt up the earth and all that it
contained.
We must heve distinguish between a
mere knowledge of the existence of fire
and a knowledze of its use. Volcanoes
furnish examples of fire hy no means
rare, and woods have often been set on
fire by the lightning stoke. Yet man
might know fire as an element long
betore be thought it might be rendered
of some usze: and the ancient accounts
have scarcely exaggerated the impor-
tance or difficulty of the discovery.
This is indicated by the fet that vari
ous nations have been found to whom
the wse of fire was altogether unknown,
This was the case witn the inhabitants
“of the Philippine and the Canary ksles
at their first discovery, and also with
various tribes in Africa and America,
who consequently fed on raw flesh,
Che inhabitants of the Mariana Isles,
discovered im 152%, had not the least
idea of fire. . When they first saw it,
|
us that Adam, who witn ssed this, fled
with terror when he saw the raddy
soon all on fire. The flame pursued
till a naked plain arrested its progress,
Reevering his courage, Adam turned
| back, and observed with iptevest thut
| cheerful glow which the heat iraparted
to his fram», amd the speed with which
it dried his damp elothing. Amid the
cold of the ensning winter, Adam often
thought with regret of this, and, since
this fire was not again kindled among
the trees, tried a thousand ways to
achieve its reproduction ¢

Captain Marcy's account
“The most didicult of all methods
of making a lire, bul oe that is prae-
teed by some of the Western Indians,
is by friction between two pieces of
wood. I had often heard of this pro-
cess, but never gave credit to its prae
tienbillity, until 1 saw the experiment
kt wus done ia the
following manner:
“Lwo deiod stalks of the Mexiean
soap plant, about three fourths of an
near
very
small indentation was made, to receive
one of them made fat ou one side :
’
Tae oth
t with a round>d end, and
Que
man then holds the hoitzmtal piece
upon the ground, while another takes
the vertical stick between the palms of
his hands, and tars it back and forth
as rapidily as possible, at the same time
pressing forcibly down upon it. The
point of the upright stick wears away
the indentation nto a fine powder,
which rams off to she ground in the
groove that has been cut ; after a time
it begins to s noke, and by condaued
friction it will at lenzth take fire.
“This is an operation that is d fli-ult,
and requires practice; but if a deill-
stick is use l, with a cord placed around
the centre of the upright stick, it ean
be turned much more rapid y than
with the hands, and the fire produced
more readily. The upright stick may
be of any hard, dry wood, but the low-
er horizontal stick rast be of a soft,
inflummable nature, such as pine, cot
tonwood, or black-walnut, and it must
be perfectly dry. The Indians work
the sticks with the palms of the hands,
holding the lower picce between the
feet ; but it is better to have a man to
hold the lower piece while another holds
the drill-bow.”

SELF-MUTILATION,
A Remarkable Case of Heligfons
Hallueination.
We copy the following frem the Lancas-
ter Frepress ;
A most extraordinary caseofseif-mutila-
tion took place in East Lampeter township,
this county, on last Saturday. Jacob
Harnish, aged seventeen years, delibera-
tely eat off his left foot with an axe. Du-
ri g the past six months the young ma#'
appeared to be under religigug mviction,
attended church regularly ; and though' 3
times exhibited signs of mental aberration,
his family wpprehended no fatal conmsé=
quence: from this hallucination of mind.
On last Saturday this young m n and a
brether were engaged together harrowing
afield. At noon they unhitched and fed
their horses. Jacob was ohserved to go to
a wood-pile and pick up an eld axe and
examine it, without, however, saying any-
thing which might lead to suspicion that
he intended any iijury to himself. The
rest of the family went to dinner, sud Jacob:
not making his appearance, his mother
went in search of him, when she found him
lying at the wood pile, covered with blo. d,
und one of his feet lying some twelve feet
from him. He was at once carried to the
house, and Drs. Jacob H. and J. Harry
Musser sent for, who arrived about two
hours after the affair occurred. The tonrni-
quet wus supplied to the limb, which checked
the hemorrhage, but the patient was so
much exhausted from the loss of blood that
it was found necessary to wait three hours
before am putating the limb—afi operation
found to be necessary to reach the blood
vessels, which had contracted. The ampu.
tation was then accomplizhed without
further flow of blood, and the boy appear-
ed to be doing well for a few hours, when
he expired suddenly. When as ed why he
thus mutilated his person; be replied that
it was necessary to the salvation of his soul,
us Christ had commanded, that “If thy
band or thy foot offendjthee, cut it off and
cast it frou thee.” It appears that after
examining the axe at the wood-pile, he got
another one, which was sharper, and which
he used, and after taking off the boot and
stocki 14. he put his leg on a block, chops ~
ping off his foot at three blows. The first
cut wus urade transversely on the leg, and
severed both bones, a few inches above
the an’le; the serond, which was in a
diagonal direction, aud a little higher, also
cut off both bones; the third completely
severing the fibres of the muscle by which
the foot is still adhered to the leg. After
the foot Had been ct off he deliberately
picked it up and hurled it some ten feet
fem him, Thedece sed was not amsember
of uny religious denomination though he
ocensionally attended tie Menonite church,

choly affair occurred.
Child Attacked by a Cat.
We copy the following from” a Perry
county paper: A cat nearly calsed the
denth of a child in the vicinity of Sandy
til, this county, a few days ago. Our
informant states that Mrs, Jeremish Hull
left her child, aged about nine months, in
the room playing with the cat while she was
engaged in another part of the house.
After some time she went to see about the
child, when she saw the cat sitting on its
breast with its nose inserted in the child's
mouth and its paws clasped around its neck.
Mrs Hull ran and threw the eat from the
eid, which was almost lifelass, but the cat
immediately sprang back on the child,
p acing its nose in tel child's mouth and
elasping it around the neck as before. A
second time the animal was thrown back,
and then greatly enraged it again sprang
forward and caught the child by the throst
After releasing the chiid, the cat was taken
out and immediately killed. The child
recovered in a few days. But for the
timely return of the mother to see thechild,
it soon would have been placed boyoad the
hope of recovery:

How negroes are to be managed as voters,
can be gathered from oceurrerces taking
place itt sll parts of the Union. At the
recent eleetion in Morristown, New Jersey,
John Whitchead, a United States Com:
missioner, called the negroes together in’
a Methodist church. After they were or-
ganized and suppiied with tickets, they
progeedcd to the polls, headed by Mr.
Whitehead, and every cne of them, forty-
seven in number, voted the Radical ticket.
In the town of Catskill, New York, at the
hate elmerter election, a body of thirfy* fds
groes, homled by a leading Radical politi-
cian of that place, marched to the polls in
military order, where tickets were given
theif, and they voted for the Radical candi-
dates, This is a sad spectacle. Persons
brought up like cattle to the place of voting,
and Federal officers, in truth, depositing
their bullets. This is the meaning ofnegro
suffrage. For this the Fifteenth Ameds
ment was fastened upon the Constitution
by force and fraud, and a new and danger-
ous element introduced into the govern.
ment of the country. This is a serious
matter, and it is quite evident white. men
are considering it in a proper light.
