Standalrd. kiunned Alive; 1A corteislondent of the Cincinlnati Commercial, writing fiom Kansas, tells tl e tbllowing terrible storv of the white man's cruelty antl the Intlian's hiorrible revenge: t A few miles west of Omaha, a nriiry, Ssnlggish stream runs inrto the Platte, ind tllis stream is called the "Raw Hidhe." It is said that sooli ifter the I dliscovery of gold in Califtornta, a ot!ng I matl Ibelonging to a party who started I jrn " tihe States" and croeted the phiins in search of gohl, made a foolish Iha.st before starting from home to the Seffect he would shoot the first Indian he saw. The party crossed the Missouri SRiver and soon fmound thelmselves in t the great Valley o! the Platte. Pass ing up this valley they eutcamped one r evening on the banks of the strean t spoken of, which at that tille was I nulrless. Aq the train was about ready to move out the next morning. ia small party of young Indians who had come across the river from the I'awnee village on the opposite side, iº approached the encampment. These twer the first Indians the party had seen, and the young man who had said a that. lie intended to shoot the first lu tdan bie saw was rtmnitled of his boist, C and he imnediatoly picked nip his rifle, took aim atit young squaw, and shot it her dead. , c The news was carried to the village I at once, the party of whites were stir- I ronnilded by exasperated Indians, and the young man who haul done the I shooting was setzed. stripped, tied to a wagon wheel, and skinued alive, the ioor fellow Iwgging of both euemies and frends to shoot him, and thus end I his terrible suflerig. The icnminder t o f his party were coimltled to stand ii by and witness the torture of their coimrade without being able to reuder I him any assistance. The nlllfortunate Iman survived the operation but a few momieintels, and the enigrasnts were theni allowved to n\ovet on. Since that day the stream upon I whose banks this horrible affair o·eur Ied Ihas been known as "The Itaw Hide." T.KINsGc C(_rE OF LAMPS.-The easi est way to clean petr,:leum lamps is to wash witl tlhit milk of lime, which trlirns anli emulsion with the petroleum, and removes all trace of it, and by washing a second time with milk of lime and a small quantity of chloride of lime, even the smell m.ay: be so coin pletely removed as to render the ves sel thus cleansed fit for keeping bever ages il. If the milk of lime be used wavi-l instead of cold, the operation is j ndered much shorter. The best time for cleaning them is in the nluot'rilg, fot reasons of safety, it not nonvenience. Scarcely a week )a;tsses during the winter months, but we read t(ecounts of l' ightful accidenut 'rom kerosenle Iamlps exptoding and -iiang or scarring for life women and ` chihiren. A simple knowledge. of the intlama Ile nature .ft.f tflid .oitld lprobally pat a stop to nearly all the accidents. I As the oil burns down into the lamp, a highly inflammable gas gatlhers over I its surface, and as the oil decreases the gas increases. Whet the oil is 'warly , co:nsumed, a slight jar will often itn Slniame the gas, and anl explosion is sure to tiullow, dealing with it death and destnuction. A lbonbslhll is no more to beI dreaded. Sow, if the lamp is not allowed to burn moore than halft way ownri, such accidents are almost imtalssible. Alw.tays fill your lamp in the tmorning; then yon need nexverl I fear an explosion. 1 I-- c- ADVICE TO GIRLs.-Soitebody gives thlie following advice to girls.

" Hulloa, Limpy, the cars will start e in a minute, lihurry up, or we shall h leave you behild."' The car was waiting at a station of 1, one of our Westeru railroads. The baggage master was busy with his checks. The men were hurr)i4ng to n and fro with chests and valises, pak ages and trunks. Men, women, and children were rushing " for the .ca(u, hastily securing their seats, while the l locomotive snorted and puflled. A rman carelessiy diirssed, was stand t ing on the plattortu of the depot. t He was looking around him, and t, seemingly paid little attention to what was passing. It'-as easy to sco that he was lame. and at a hasty glance t one might have supposed that hlie was at IanII neither of wealth or influence. The condnctcr gave hium a contempt- o nous look, and slarping li;m tnmilinarly on the shoulder, called out: "Hullon, Litupy, better get aboar:d, or the cars will leave you behind." " Time e'nongh, I reckot," replied the individual, and he resumed his se.emingly listless air. " All aboard !" cried the conductor. d " Get on, Limpy !" said lie passing i the lame, carelessly dressed man. The lamDe Inade no reply. Just as the train was slowly moving away the lame man stepped on to the I platfirm of the last car, walked quiet ly iln, and took a seat. The train had gone a few miles when the conductor appeared at the door oj Wte car where our friend was sitting. Passing along he soon discovered the straniger whom he had seen at the station. " Your ticket, quick!" "I don't pay," replied the lame man a qn;etly. "iDon't pay t" " No air." .'We'll see about that; I shall put you off at the next statiMou?: neized a valise which w,e head of our friend.

Preseutl3y the conductor came back. With a steady energy he whJed up - to Mr. Warburtou's s te; he took his a books from his portet, the bank bills and the tickets he had collected,- aml liid them in Mr. Warhurton's hand. " I resign my place sir," he said. The President looked over the ac counts for a moment, the.lr .)tioning him to the vacant seat, :,,d : " Sit down, sir. I would like So.talk with you." As the young nian sat down, the President turned to him a face iri whitch there was noi a,rvy fe4ing, and spoke to himn in an undlerton : " My young friend, I have ir re. vcngrlul feellhbgs to gratify b "this matter; but you have v ,en i:npradtliet.
