OSE RIGHT OF A WIFE.
from the Woman's Journal.
"John," said I one night to my hus
band, a I pot y basket of sewing
away preparatory to retiring. "John,
a.4 yoa co down to-nioriow morning,
I wish yoa would stop at .Mrs. West s
'door and leave her $5 for uie."
Five dollar!" and my lord looked
up quite astonishod. "For what."
"Why, ahe is collecting money to
aid that poeiety te is t-ecretary ol,
and as I always felt interested in it, I
told her I would give her $5.
I said this with quite a hhow of as
surance, though 1 really .felt quite
uneasy as to the reception of my re
quest, for John is rather notional in
some of his ways; however. I had
been cogitating some matter lately
in my own mind, and determined to
make a bold stand. .
'Well, Sarah." at length came the
reply, "you need not count on my do
ing any such thing, I don't approve
of that society at all. and not one
cent of my money shall go to help
it."
"I give it out of my money," said I,
growing bolder. "I only asked you
to leave it at her door tor me."
"Your money! What do you
mean?"
"I miian what I say my money.
Hate I no right to spend money as
well as you? t don't approve of the
Masons, but that does not hinder you
from spending money and time for
them as much as you have a mind."
John looked at me quite amaed at
my sudden outbreak. You see, I had
always been the most aiuhtble ol
wives. Then he broke out quite
triumphantly, "Come, now, who earns
the money that maintains this fa mi-
ly?"
"Yoa and I together," -aid I.
"Together! Well, 1 should like to
see the first eent you have earned in
the 6even years we have been married.
Together! Well, I call that pretty
rich."
My spirit were visibly declining
under his ridicule, but I kept on as
boldly as I could.
W hen we were married you
thought, or pretended to think, your
self very harpy in assuming the care
of board and wardrobe. I didn't ask
it of you. You asked me to be your
wife, knowing well all that meant."
"As nearly as I remember," inter
rupted John, "you were mighty
ready to accept me."
"Granted to save argument," said
1, coloring.
"Well we stood up in church to
gether, and you . promised to love,
cherirh, etc., and so did I."
"And obey, too," said I; "but you,
in return, endowed we with all your
worldly goods, and the minister pro
nounced us man and wife; and so we
- have lived.."
"Yes." said John, complacently,
' and as I look back over the time, I
think I have done what I agreed, and
made a pretty good husband. I really
think you ought to be thankful when
you see how some wives live."
"Well," said I, "I think I have
been a domestic, prudent wife, and I
don't feel one atom more of gratitude
to you than you ought to feel to me
for being a decent wife. Is it any
more merit that you keep your mar
riage iiromises than that I keep
mine?'
"Sarah, you are positively very acri
monious to-night. Don't you think
we had better go to bed?"
"No, sir. Well, meantime we have
laid by money to buy this house, and
still have some in the bank."
"Thanks to my hard work!" chimed
in John.
"More thanks," said I, to the per
fect good health we have always had.
We made mil these promises for bet-
ter or ior worse. iow it nas ueen
better for us all the : time. Had you
been Biek or honest misfortune be
fallen you, I should have managed
some way to reduce our expenses so
that you might feel the burden as lit
tle as might be. Had I been sick,
more care would have fallen on you.
But we helped each other save, and
now I claim an equal right with you
in spending money."
" Whew! . Why, that is treason. But
go on."
"If we occupied the respective posi
tions of superior and subordinate, I
should do what I do for you ior a
fixed stipend, and no questions should
be asked as to the use made of it.
Being equals, I will not ask com pen
sation as a-servent; but heeau.-e the
contract we have made is lifelong and
not easily. broken. I do not therefore
call it very magnanimous in a prosper
ous man to accept thase services and
render in return only my board and
the least amount that will creditably
clothe me.'
You see I was growing irate. John's
temper, too, was evidently on the
rise.
"What do you mean by services?
Housework? I am sure a home is as
much lor your satisfaction as for mine;
and I am sure the tailor does not
leave much of my sewing for you to
do."
"I don't complain of housework nor
of doing your sewing, but I do think
the burden of little Johnny has fallen
ou me. . . ?
All. . t 11 - . X
it striKes me, said ne, witn a
provoking con. placency of tone, "that
if you earned bis living you would
have less to say about the burden
falling on you."
"John," said I. "answer me hon
estly. Do you work any harder or
any longer now than you did before
be was born.'
"I don't know as I do," said he; "I
always worked hard enough."
"Well, and so do I. But now as to
Johnny. 1 presume you will allow
yourself half owner of him, as the law
allows you entire control over him.
ilow much do you do tor him;
I maintain him. I do my part."
"No. John, you are wrong: you
don't do your part. From the first
you never have. Did not weary
months go by in which you bore no
part whatever of the burden.' '
"Well, that is curious complaining;
what would you have me do? '
"You might have got a servant, in
stead of letting all the housework fall
on me; or you might have kept a
horse so that I ;ould ride out and en
joy the fine weather; but that is all
past now."
"I should say that it cost me enough
for the doctor, nurse, etc., without
talking about keeping a horse."
"True, it cost enough; but lam talk
ing about the division of the burden.
Was the part you bore in the payment
of those bills equal to my part in the
matter? Would yoa have taken my
place for that money if it were to
have been paid you instead oi those
who cared for you? Ithinkn jt."
"Didn't I have all his clothes to
buy?"
"No, sir. I went without new
clothes of any sort for a season, and
the money saved from my. wardrobe
supplied all that was needed; and ' I
might add that all his clothes have
been got in the same way."
"W ell, really, I had no idea how
much of a martyr you were. 'Next
vou will be clothing me in the same
way. How thankful I ought to be for
so calculating a wife."
"Now, in these two year," said'I,
continuing in the face of his gneer, "all
of the care and confinement conse
quent on attending tb.2 child have
fallen on m T havp mannered some
way to accomplish my housework and
sewing as I used. lean hardly think
how it has been done. Did it ever
occur to you to think how many times
1 have been to church f-ince he was
born?"
"Yon wonldn't sinoot man to
take care of u baby, would you? That
isn't a man' vnrt " . iY. ' ;
"Wt it?" said I. bitterlv: "then I
wouldn't have a baby. I have been to
church just four times, and then some
visitor had staid with Johnny, xiow
many times did you ever get up in the
niKht to soothe him when he has been
pick and frettul?' '
"4'How do vou suppose. said he.
"I could work by day if I di
ay it 1 dido t get
my night's sleepf -
"Just tht'saroe way that I do when
my night is broken, exactly."
"Well. Sarah, what is the drift of
all this talk, any way? for I don't see
any nsc in prolonging it."
"Well, then, it is my original state
ment that as I did my part of the
family labor and took all tbe care of
Johnny, and you are a man in pros
perous circumstances, I am entitled
to as much money for that as if I were
employed and paid by the mon:h for
the same work, and I have a right to
spend money for things that don't
suit vou, if I please to do so; and I
may "add," said I, with a sudden
vehemence, "that it is mean and con
temptibie in you to try to oppose or
forbid my doing so."
- John said no more. I saw by the
look in his eyes that he was quite
angry; and so was I. That was the
first time in our married life that we
failed to kiss each other good-night.
Indeed, I felt guilty, though I hardly
know why, but it was late before I
fell asleep
The next morning all was serene.
No trace remained of the evening's
storm, but-notshing more was said
about - the obnoxious subscription.
Next day I met Mrs. Woct, and she
thanked me very much for doubling
mv money. -
"Dear John! He didn't mean to be
unkind, but he had never Ptopped to
think about such things. "When his
next settlement came, and he slipped
a 20 bill into my band and said,
"That is for your private purse," I
really thought he was the best hus
band in the world.
THE BF.(JIXNIX(J OF TH F FREE-SOIL
PARTY.
(ieneral Wilson Leading tbe Bolt
from the Whls Xntiomal Convention
In 1848.
From the Springfield Republican.
It was Genera Wilson, then a
you ok man, and a popular orator of
thrt Whig party of Massachusetts,who
pronounced the first formal words of
separation from that party, in order
to establish the-free -soil organization,
whieh, it will be remembered, was set
in motion in that year, and at its first
National Convention in Buffalo, on
motion of Samuel J. Tilden, nomina
ted Martin Van Buren for President
and Charles Francis Adams for Vice
President. General Wilson was a
delegate from this State in the Whig
National Convention and when it be
came apparent that General Taylor, of
Louisiana, was to be nominated for
President, he arose and said: "I am
opposed to the nomination of General
Taylor, or to any other candidate not
fully committed by his own acts to
the Wilmot proviso; and it such a
nomination is made, I shall leave this
Convention, go home and unite with
others in the support of one who shall
be committed to the policy of free
doml" Those were brave words; they
embodied such sound advice as would,
if the policy had been adopted, have
made the Whig party the party of
ireeuom, anu probably have arrested
the civil war; but his remarks were
received with hisses and shouts of
derision. In order to silence the op
position of the three delegates from
Massachusetts Wilson, Allen and
Alford it had been agreed. , in cau
cus, to give the ,-Vice Presidency to
a citizen of Massachusetts in the per
son of Abbott Lawrence, and to this
Judge Allen alluded when, coming to
the support of Mr. Wilson, he said.
amid the wildest excitement and con
tinued interruptions: "The discip
line of the South has again prevailed!
It is evident the teims of union be
tween the Whigs of the North and
the Whigs of the South were the per
petual surrender by the former of the
nigh offices and powers of the Govern
ment to their Southern confederates.
To these terms, sir, I think the free
States will no longer submit. I de
clare to this Convention my belief
that the Whig party is here and this
day dissolved. , You, t have put an
ounce too much upon the strong back
of Northern endurance. You have
even presumed that the State which
led in the first revolution for liberty
will now desert the cause tor the
miserable boon of the Vice Presiden
cy. Sir, Massachusetts will spurn the
bribe." -Mr, Ashman, of Springfield,
replied to Mr. Wilson, and declared
that he did not speuk the voice of
Massachusetts, and Mr. George Lunt,
of Newburyport, declared that he had
listened with indignation to the senti
ments ol some of his colleagues, as he
was quite sure Masachu.-etts would
indorse the action of the Convention.
Ol all the member? of the Convention,
only Mr. Wilson and Mr. Allen then
directly severed their connection with
the WThig party. Determined to secure
every advantage which the occasion
offered. . of , conferring with their
late associates who coincided with
him in opinion, Mr. Wilson, after the
nomination of laylor and fillmore
was ratified, hired one of the ante
rooms of the building, and that even
ing invited the delegates and others
opposed to the action of the Conven
tion to meet with him and confer in
reirard to the holding of a National
Convention for the organization of a
new party. Uniy fifteen persons re
sponded to the call; but it was then
and there decided that such a Con
vention as Mr. Wilson indicated
should be called to meet at Buffalo
in August, and Joshua II. Giddings
ami John C. Vauahan, of Ohio, and
Charles Allen, of Massachusetts, were
appointed to issue the call and make
all needful 'arrangements. That was
the first great step in the organization
of the Free Soil party, and to Mr.
Wilson belongs the high honor of a
bold, heroic and successful leadership,
which, after many trial and reverses,
resulted in the triumph of "free-soil"
rrineiples at the polls, but under an
other name, in the election of Abra
ham Lincoln.
Alitor' Wealth.
New York World, Nov. 25.
It would beZdifficuIt to determine
the extent, and wholly impossible to
determine the value, of his property,
either real or personal. It probably
aggregates nearly UU,UUO,U0O. Mr.
Astor paid more taxes on real estate
than any other man in the country.
He paid annually as taxes on his real
property $500,000, which is one seven
tieth of the whole amount of the tax
collected annually in this city. The
assessed value of his real estate is
understood to be some $56,000,00, with
a probable actual value of some $75.-
000,000. He owned real estate in
every ward and in nearly every avenue
and street in this city, and it was said
of him that in every mile that he
waited or rode he passed some build
ings owned by him. His possession
of real property was confined almost
exclusively to this city, with the ex
ception of his country seat, a tract of
some bUU acres in the Township of
lied Hook, in this State, and a few
hundred acres of land in the West,
which he toot in payment of debts.
About one-sixth ol his real estate is
locked up in long leases, some of
which are expiring almost every day,
while many will continue in full force
and effect for many years to come.
His property is all improved, and he
does not own a single vacant lot.
Before the War, a great deal of it was
unimproved, but about 1861 he began
the polioy, which has since been faith
fully carried out of building as rapidly
as possible, and of tearing down old
rockeries and putting up plain but
substantial business structures or
dwelling houses in accordance with
the character of the locality. In all
his buildings he has exhibited that
plaiuness and simplicity that have
characterized the man and the family.
At -one time he owued considerable
property on Broadway, which he ha,
however, gradually sold. The larger
part of his real estate is in the Six
teenth, Twenty first, and Twenty
second wards. He is an extensive
owner of property along the Bowery,
through Thirty-fourth street, both
east and west, and along Fifth, Sixth, j
and Eighth avenues. The only two
notable buildings owned by him aie
the Astor House and the Astor Li
brary, the latter of which is held by
the Trustees of the library in trust tor
the purposes indicated in the trust
deed executed by himself and his fath
er. In some streets he has built of
recent years dwelling-houses of Port
land stoue, while the ordinary red
brick has been used for building in
tended for business purposes.
During the past few years he has
not bought real estate so largely, but
has principally been engaged in build
ing or exchanging. In almost every
volume of recorded deeds at the Re
corder's office the name of Astor oc
curs conspicuously, both in regard to
the transfer of single lots and of whole
blocks ol property. It occurs fre
quently, also, in the transfer of prop
erty as guardian in the Xiangdon and
other large estates, showing that not
only was he engaged in operations af
fecting bis own property, but acting
in a representative capacity in regard
to Droiterty belonging to others. He
was also heavily interested in all the
railroads running out from this city
in all directions. He Mas a leading
stockholder in the New York Central,
the Harlem & New Haven, the Hud
son River, the New Jersey Central,
the Transportation Company of New
Jersey, and in a large number of oth
er railroad companies. He has re
fused for many years to become a
Director in any of the roads, but his
son, John Jacob, has been chosen as
in a manner representing his own and
his father's interests.
FARM XOTES.
He CliolemCaneea nnd Treatment.
(Indiana Farmer.
This disease is singularly fatal this
season. In Boone county this State
we arc told by a friend that the losses
are great. We have already reported
heavy losses by this disease elsewhere
in this and other States. The great
hog districts in Illinois are also great
ly stricken with the disease in its
most fatal form. Of the
CAUSES OF THE DISEASE,
a writer in the National Live Stock
Journal says they are obscure, bnt as
it is more prevalent in low and un
drained localities than on high and
well drained soil, it is considered to
be due mainly f rom miasmatic and
malarious emanation. Confinement
in filthy sties, impure drinking water,
and want of change in food, etc., are
also amongst the causes. We are
convinced that many animals of this
class are annually lost from the effects
of improper food, or from living in an
atmosphere surcharged with poison
ous effluvia, the product of animal or
vegetable decomposition. Decompos
ing substances, both animal and vege
table, corn that has undergone a
change from long keeping or exposure
to damp, and which is loaded, per
haps, with the sporules of poisonous
fungi; brine from the meat tub these
and other similar substances are of
ten given to pigs as food, and in many
instances have been known to cause
very great losses. Much that we
have seen convinces us of the neces
sity of more attention being paid to
the quality of the food of these ani
mals than is generally being done, and
also to the nature of their lodgings, as
well as the air they breathe.
TREATMENT. .
The treatment is most unsatisfac
tory, owing to the acute nature of the
disease; in fact all remedies are use
less when not administered as soon
as the first symptoms appear, When
the disease breaks out in a herd, the
animals should be kept on low diet,
have plenty of exercise and fresh air.
In the early stage of the disease, cold
water sluicings, often repeated, have
proved beneficial, and so has the
method of burying in the earth in a
cool and dark place. For this pur
pose a hole is dug, sufficiently large
and deep to admit Mr. Pork sidewise
(the legs being previously tied with a
sott straw band): the body is then cov
ered with a sufficient quantity of earth
and grass turt, leaving the bead tree;
and in order to support the head, a
grass turf is laid under the snout.
Before burial several injections con
sisting of cold water with vinegar, are
thrown into the rectum.
In order to keep the surrounding
earth constantly cool, cold water is,
every half hour, to be let on it. The
animal remains thus buried until it
recovers, which, in successful cases,
happens within six, twelve or eigh
teen hours. Hog cholera is treated
in many different ways, each having
its advocates. Some people have seen
good effects from bleeding in the
earliest stages of the disease. Kmetics
and purgatives, in connection with
lukewarm injections of salt water with
vinegar, are very strongly recommen
ded. In the beginning of the disease,
success has also attended the admin,
istration of ao emetic, such as white
hellebore and i ecacuanah, of each
two parts; tartar emetic one part; mix
and give a small pig a scruple, and
a larger one bait a drachm, thrown
dry upon the root of the tongue; this
to be followed up by purgatives and
clysters. Purgative to consist of
Epsom salts, one. two and three oun
ces, according to the size and age of
the animal, administered in broth or
swill from a Itottle. Exercise, fresh
air and sluicing the annual over with
cold water are measures to be rec
ommended. Animals that recover
unless well treated, continue to suffer
from partial paralysis, or from rheu
matic inflammation ot the joints.
Economy in Feed in if Kloek.
New York Weekly Sun.
To raise and gather sufficient food
to keep a number of cows, sheep or
horses, through four to six months of
Winter, requires no small amount ot
labor and money, and our farmers
have to make close calculations in
this matter, or find the balance on the
wrong side ot the ledger. When the
country was new and the land rich
enough to produce bountiful crops
without the application ot manures,
the kinds ot food costing the least la
bor were preferred; consequently good
hay and grain answered every purpose
and practising economy by feeding
anything else was seldom thought ol
by the well-to-do farmer. But of late
years, hay, straw, and oats have be
come cash articles, even far back in
the country, and hundreds of miles
from our larger cities, and this change
of circumstances naturally leads the
farmer to count more closely the cost
of keeping his stock. If a cow will
consume two tons of hay during the
Winter, and this is worth twenty dol
lars per ton, it does not require much
figuring to arrive at a definite conclu
sion in regard to what may be expec
ted in the way of profits. Of course
it would not be economy for the farm
er to sell all his richest and best fod
der, and then endeavor to keep his
stock through Winter on the poorest.
Still, by the application ot an in
creased amount of labor in preparing
a second-rate article, its value tor
food may frequently le largely in
creased. It is here that economy
may be practised, and is, to a consid
erable extent, by our most thorough
and thriving farmers. Hay at twenty
to thirty dollars per ton is very dear
food, but it is so convenient for hand
ling or feeding out that the owners of
stock dislike to dispense with it, even
it it does cost more than they can
really afford to pay. The same may
be said of oats: but convenience goes
a great way in creating a demand, es
pecially with those who are not com
pelled to practise strict economy.
But farmers who reside near good
markets may turn many a penny to
the profit side of their farm accounts,
by disposing of their most saleable
and readily handled produce, and
then using those oi an opposite char
acter for their cwn stock. The coars
er kinds of forage plants will answer
as well as the finer if artificially pre
pared, by cutting up and steaming,
adding meal, shorts, or bran, and giv
ing roots at the same time. Hunga
rian grass, millet, cornstalks, and
straw become first-rate food for stock
when properly prepared by cooking or
steaming. We know that there is
much prejudice existing among farm-
ers in regard to grinding, cutting, and
steainiiig food for their stock, but we
believe it is mainly in consequence of
the extra labor required, and not
from any reason to apprehend injury
to the animal. Coarse food made
palatable and easy to digest by such
F recesses as we have named is not
ikely to be injurious, even if it is in
a slightly unnatural condition. The
experiments ot our most scientific ag
riculturists show that it is economy
to make the food of domestic animals
as digestible as possible, without de
stroying its nutritive properties, and
farming is carried to its greatest per
fection, and is most profitable, when
these processes are most in vogue.
Our farmers must learn to practise
economy by saving, not wasting, the
coarser kinds ot farm produce which
have to a great extent been consid
ered of little or no value. More root
crops should be grown, and the straw,
stack utilized instead of being left to
rot down for manure, as is still-done
over a large extent of country. Let
the steam boiler be set up aud be
more extensively used for preparing
food for stock, and better results will
surely follow, especially in the older
States, where all kinds of farm pro
duce command good prices. Few
fanners t-eem to know how little food
will keep an animal healthy, and in
good fiesh, if that little is put in the
condition to be all appropriated to the
animal's use, and not pass off undi
gested. Top-Dressing; Meadows.
Michigan Farmer.
The results of a single top-dressing
on eight plots of nearly half an acre
each of sandy warm soil of our State
Agricultural College Firm exhibited
the following facts at the end of three
years: The top-dressing was applied
in 1864, and the grass was cut twice
each season in lh64 and 1865 and once
in 1866. The produce of each cutting
and of each lot was weighed separately
and a perfect record kept. The re
sults fof the four seasons were as fol
lows: On the plot to which no ma
nure or. fertilizer was applied the total
weight of hay yielded per acre was
8,740 pounds. Where two bushels of
plaster per acre was applied the yield
.er acre was 13,226 pounds, a gain of
4,484 pounds. WThere five bushels of
wood ashes were applied the yield
per acre was 12,907 pouuds, a gain of
4,165 pounds. Where three bushels
of salt was sown per acre, the yield
was 13,969 pounds, a gain ier acre of
5,227 pounds. WThere 20 loads ot
muck per acre was laid on, the yield
per acre was 13,816 pounds, a gain ol
5,074 pounds. Where 20 loads of
horse manure was laid on, the yield
was 14,6S6 pounds, a gain of 6,224
pounds. These are results which in
dicate that there are fertilizers which
will produce as good results as plas
ter. For instance, the plaster yielded
a gain of 51 per cent, while the horse
manure give an increase of 71 per
cent., or nearly a ton more grass per
acre in the three years.
Iforwea.
Can be educated to the extent of
their understandings as well as chil
dren, and can be easily damaged or
ruined by bad management. We be
lieve that the great difference found
in horses as to vicious habits or re
liability comes more from the differ
ent management of men than from
variance ot natural disposition in the
animals. Horses with high mettle
are more casil educated than those of
less or dull spirits, and are more sus
ceptible toe ill training, and conse
quently may be as good or bad, ac
cording to the education they receive.
Horses with dull spirits are not by
any means proof against bad manage
ment, for in them may often be found
the most provoking obstinacy; vicious
habits of different characters that
render them almost entirely" worth
less. Could the coming generations
of horses in this country bo kept from
their days of colt-hood to the age of
five years in the hands of good, care
ful managers, there would .be seen a
vast difference in the general charac
ters of the noble animals.
A Hnn or the Old Sea.Kingr.
A London journal writes thus of a
Norwegian, who seems to have lost
nothing- of the indomitable courage and
energy of his old Norse ancestors:
"Perhaps there is no greater test of
heroic courage than a voluntary en
counter with great perils alone, where
an, escape from those perils has been
opened, of which others have availed
themselves. Such heroism has been
recorded this week in the case of a
Norwegian Captain, Captain Adder
Hansen, who, on the 7th of October,
left Gefie with a cargo of iron and deals
for England, and whose bark encoun
tered, on the 19th of October, so fear
ful a gale that all the pumps.were disa
bled, the ship' side injured, and a
great deal of the deck-load washed
away. On the 20th of October a smack
came in Bight, and Captain Hansen's
crew, not believing the vessel could
live, left him with his bark rolling
most fearfully. The Captain remained
alone, in the hope of getting his bark
into Grimsby, in which he finally suc
ceeded. Alone he managed to set the
foresail and mainsail, and to light the
side-lights and the binnacle-light, and
then steered toward the west. He was
so fatigued that he several times fell
down from sheer weariness, and during
the night he had several squalls. The
cabin was full of water, which did much
damage, as it rolled with the rolling of
the vessel, and, when he got the bark
into Humber, Captain Hansen's
strength was all spent. That seems
to us, In its way, a greater feat, be
cause a lonelier feat, than many a
pilot-boat rescue, in which the imme
diate peril was far more threatening.
The courage of a group of associates
is always much greater than the sum
of the courage which each individual
in the group would separately ex
hibit." How to Sweep.
Sweeping, for a well woman, is one
of the best kinds of exercise, It calls
into play especially the muscles of the
upper extremities and chest, and in
deed, it is a pretty good "thorough
exercise," almost too strong for any
woman with a weak back, though this
depends very much on what is to be
swept. A painted floor and Canton
matting sweep easily; an ingrain car
pet is harder; a rag carpet harder
still; while Brussels and velvet are
"awful." Well, then, in any case,
cover your head, and, if it is in the
parlor or sitting room, cover your
furniture and books, dampen your
broom, let it stand ten to twenty min
utes, and then sweep carefully, but
persistently, n the corners insert
your broom repeatedly (but not fran
tically) until quite clean. Heavy car
pets are best swept with a quick short
str,oke. In any case bring the broom
towards you or eveu with you; do not
flirt it in front of you. That motion
kicks up a dust which is bad for the
lungs. Some things, like straw, rav
el lings, and bits of paper are best
picked up with the hand or a small
broom, to which they readily cling,
and may lie removed with the other
hand. To conclude, have as few car
pets as possible. They are dirty, un
wholesome, and expensive. Painted
or oiled floors and Uanton matting are
better.
When Louise M. Coffin returned
from the Sandwich Isjands.two years
ago, she was accompanied by a young
native girl. Miss Mary E. Torbert,
who visited this country to finish her
education. She entered School at
Karl ham College, where she remained
until it Decame evident that her
health was giving way under the
rigors of our northern climate. Her
physicians advised a return to the
genial summer land from whenoj she
came, tier journey homeward was
speeded by kind friendr,who rendered
her every possible aid and procured
all the comforts that could be giveu.
But when she arrived at lionolul
in the latter part of August, con
sumption had so far completed its
work, that she lived only a few weeks
after reaching home and friends and
died, as we learn from the Spiceland
Keporter, on the 13th day of Septem

'SKlerjr In India.
The conjurers and acrobats of India
are a tribe by themselves, resembling
the gypsies of Europe, and, being sub
tle and crafty, are despised, yet feared,
by the common people. They are won
derfully expert in the perform an of
their tricks and feats of strength, some
of which remain inexplicable, even to
the intelligence of the acute European.
One of the most striking of their ruses
that of the basket and the child Is
thus described:
A child 7 or 8 years old, standing up
right in the basket, writhes in con
vulsions under the influence of music,
and disappears slowly into the Interior,
which is barely large enough to contain
it. Scarcely is It inside when the mu
sicians throw themselves upon it, close
the lid, and pierce the basket in every
direction with their long knives. They
6trike with all their might, until, the
banitH.o giving way, the basket is com
pletely flattened, and seems no longer
capable of containing anything. They
then re-form the circle and resume
their chant; to which a voice now re
sponds from the forest. The sound
gradually approaches, and at last seems
to come from the basket, which be
comes more and more distended; the
lid is removed, and the child springs
out.
The top-trick is also exceedingly puz
zling. The juggler gives the top a vig
orous whirl, and phu-es it on the point
of a stick balanced upon his forehead
or nose. In this position, without any
further interference from the juggler,
the top suspends its spinning, and re
news it again, at the bidding- of the
spectator. These alternate movements
are repeated during several seconds,
greatly to the astonishment of behold
ers. It is not so strange that the top
should pause, but that it should resume
its whirling without any fresh impetus
seems to be pure witchcraft. There is
no mechanical contrivance discoverable
in either the top, or the stick on which
it plays.
Among the surprising feats of the
acrobats are those of the rope-dancers.
One performer steps upon the rope
with naked feet, and a pile of jars on
his head. Having reached the centre,
he causes the rope to swing rapidly to
and fro, maintaining his balance by
moving his body in harmony with the
oscillations of the rope, at the same
time holding his head motionless, in
order not to lose off the jars. Another
acrobat walks skillfully along the rope
with buffalo horns tied perpendicularly
to the feet.
A wonderful exhibition of jugglery Is
executed with swords and sashes bor
rowed from the spectators. The con
jurer wearing the scantiest apparel, so
that his bust and limbs are wholly visi
ble, presses the sharp point against his
breast until the blade bends into a half
circle. Or he places himself on his
back, and, laying on his chest a thin
leaf of the betel-plant, his acolyte
strikes a heavy blow down upon it with
a sharp sabre, which cuts the leaf in
two. Again he throws fresh. cocoanuts
up into the air, and lets them fall upon
his head, whereon they are smashed as
upon a rock.
"Lastly," says M. Itousselet, who
witnessed the scene, "a wagon was
brought, a heavy vehicle which two
oxen could scarcely drag. One of the
guard's lances was solidly fastened- to
the shaft, so as to present its point at
the extremity, and a certain number of
the common people were invited to get
into the wagon, which the juggler, plac
ing his naked skull against the point of
the lance, pushed forward, thus loaded,
for about ten paces. After this feat, of
course, every one wanted to inspect his
skull. The man complacently showed
his head to each of us, and we were able
to assure ourselves that he had no oth
er cuirass than the tick skin which Na
ture had given him for his share, but
which nevertheless was stout enough
to resist a pressure that would have
pierced through the body of an ele
phant." Many acrobats go through their per
formances upon the top of a poie which
Js held upright by four ropes,
the ends of which are bimply
a hole. Some water is then poured
into the hole, the earth Is stamp
ed down, and, presto! the pole stands
like a rock, and may be shaken with
the united strength of several men,
without loosening the ropes. Little
girls are often included among tne per
formers, and they will roll themselves
into balls, bend themselves back, and
conduct themselves generally as though
made of India-rubber. They thread
needles with thir toes, their eyes
blindfolded; and with their eyes pick
up straws stuck upright in the ground.
Or they lift weights with their eyes,
a metal button being placed under each
eyelid in such a way that It adheres to
the pupil. To these buttons, strings
are attached, connected with weights,
sometimes very heavy; and these are
lifted a little way from the ground with
out any help from the hands. This
spectacle, however, has a cruel look
that makes it painful.

Ilow Adam Poe WtilppedMHlK foot.
Cincinnati Saturday Night.
"Big Foot," chief of the Wyandottes,
who flourished (his scalping knife) on
the banks of the Ohio during the pio
neer days, was an Indian of immense
stature and powerful frame, who re
ceived his name on account of the ex
traordinary size of his foot, that organ
measuring more inches to the foot than
the most liberal table in long measure
can possibly allow. In addition to big
feet he was" afflicted with corns, so that
his shoemaker was compelled to make
his moccasins on a bag of hickory nuts
In order to secure a fit.
One day Big Foot, who was a sort of
bully about home, attended a log roll
ing at a neighboring settlement wher
he met Adam Poe, an athletic young
paleface, who had recently come there
to settle, so he thought he would just
settle him. He was an old settler him
self Big Foot was. An opportunity
finally presented Itself for picking a
quarrel with Poe. They were lifting
together on the same log, when Poe,
although he had allowed twenty-two
inches to the foot, accidentally trod
upon Big Foot's corns. Big Foot began
to stamp and rave, and swore he could
whip Poe "at the drop of the hat."
Those were his precise words.
Poe, who was a good-natured fellow
, and not at all quarrelsome, stood his
abuse for some time; but when he in
sinuated that his clothes didn't fit him,
and taunted him with having a cross
eyed sister in fact, pohpohed at the
entire Poe family, hla blood was up,
and jerking off " his coat, he yelled,
"Come on, red skin, and, durn my but
tons, if I don't grind you up into injun
meal to slop my cow with!"
"That's me," said Big Foot, taking off
his cravat and paper collar, and tying
his suspenders around him.
A ring was quickly formed' and the
red-man and pale-face glared at each
other from their respective corners.
"A stand-up fight or rough-and-tumble?"
said Poe.
"I don't care A-dam Poe!" yelled Big
Foot, and at it they went at a run-and-catch.
It was about the biggest single'hand
fight ever known. They kicked up such
a dust very little could be seen of the
combatants. At intervals. Big Foot's
big feet would be seen to flash through
the air as Adam dextrously stood him
on his head; and then Poe would be
seen to rise about ten ( 10) feet in the
air, poised on the toe of that Big Foot.
Fragments of moccasins, portions of
buckskin breeches, arrow heads, feath
ers, Indian ear-rings, (Poe made that
Indian's ear-ring) suspender buttons,
scalp-locks, leggins, etc., filled the air.
Big Foot howled and Poe raved, (every
body has heard "Foe's Ravin.") For a
long time the issue seemed doubtful,
but after a time all was still, the dust
cleared away and disclosed Poe leaning
on his rifle, whose stock was broken,
panting badly, his test pants being ru
ined in the fray. At his feet lay Big
Foot, dead.
"I stood ready to give him a fair
fight, gougein' in," said Poe as soon as
he could recover his breath, "but the
pesky critter drew a knife on me and I
fixed him."
A coroner's jury set on the body as
many as could be seated on it, when a
placard was put up. "standing room
only" who brought in a verdict of
"Death from t'vo big feet."
They buried Big Foot where he fell,
all except his feet, which would stick
out. Finally they raised mounds over
them, and this day two Indian mounds
mark the last resting place of Big
Foot.

How to J udg-e m Town.
The Jefferson City, Missouri, Journal
tells this:
About a week ago a gentleman from
Tennessee, representing a capital of
$20,000, in search of a good locality In
which to engage in business, gave us a
call, and after stating his mission
West, asked to look at our paper. We
handed him the morning Journal, and
to our surprise he did not stop to read
our newsy local "pick-up," or our at
tractive editorial page, but turned at
once to our advertising columns, and
commenced counting our advertisers
and measuring their space.
"Well," said he, glancing up from the
paper, "is that alj? Is, that the bus
iness of this town?"
"Oh, no," said we, "here is the
Tribune with a few advertisements
that don't appear in the Journal."
lie then counted two additional local
business advertisements in the Tribune,
and again looked up, with the remark:
"And that's all, is it? Why, you
haven't got near so much of a town as
I thought you had."
And then we explained to him that
we have a great many business men
who do not advertise.
"They are not business men to hurt
if they don't advertise," -a his
answer,
We eould not contradict him, and we
were powerless to vindicate the claims
of our city.
He left us saying if he had time he
would look around, but thought this
was no place for him.
This is only one instance, and a fact.
