THE BATESVILLE LIARD. FRANK D. DENTON, Publisher. BATESVILLE, : : ARKANSAS. HOME AND FOREIGN GOSSIP. Monkeys are used for food in Japan. An Indianapolis vagrant is 6 feet 10 inches high. A printer at La Crosse, Wis., re cently fell heir to $75,000. In South America the cities are light ed with castor oil. In the Maine House of Representatives there are 50 farmers, 17 shop-keepers, and but 12 lawyers. It is estimated that holders of stocks in Boston will receive during this month in dividends $10,000,000. Senator Garland, of Enfield, N. H., aged 82, astonished the people of that town the other day, by skating on Mas coma Lake, with the apparent elasticity of vigorous youth. A cave, supposed to be a tramps’ re sort, has been discovered at Waterbury, Conn. It is 13 feet deep, and is fitted up with a stove, chandelier, bunks, and other household conveniences. Many of those banished to Siberia grow so weary of their exile in such an inhospitable region that they lose their minds. Lunatic asylums have been erected of late years for their special ac commodation. All babies born in the Oneida (N. Y.) Community are taken from their mothers at their birth, and handed to other women to rear. No child, there fore, will ever know its own mother, for they are all owned in common. Under the new army regulations ev ery Prussian soldier carries in his trousers pocket the plaster, lint and bandage necessary for a first dressing of a wound, so that in an emergency each can help himself or a comrade. A Brooklyn girl who had supposed she had caught a rich husband, found, upon inventory, that he wore hired jewelry, owed for his clothes, was be hind on his board, and that he couldn’t lend her $5 to consult a lawyer about a divorce. A railroad branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association has been organized at Keyser, West Virginia. It is the purpose of the new association to provide a reading-room for the men employed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and to hold religious meetings for them. The marriage of Miss Peck, an Amer ican, with the Baron de Charette is an nounced to take place at the private chapel of the Nuncio in Paris. Miss Peck has entered the Catholic Church at the request of her future husband. M. de Charette is poor, and had need of a rich wife, but he married for love. She is without wealth. An idea of the size of some of the big trees of California is given by the fol lowing from the Petaluma Argus: James English is still at work on the redwood tree he felled, at Russian River •tation some months ago. He has al ready made from it 250,000 shingles, 1,000 fence-posts, 6,000 shakes, lumber for a dwelling-house and outbuildings, and has lumber left for 300,000 more shingles. The tree was 14 feet in di ameter. Trenton, N. J., is the possessor of a hen with a wooden leg. It was run over by a passing coach and was given up for dead until the extent of its injuries was found to be only a broken leg. Am putation became necssary, and after • some days the fowl recovered, but could I not walk. With loving ingenuity its owner, Mrs. Dooley, securely attached a piece of stick to the upper part of the hen’s leg, and the bird walked forth re joicing. The deepest artesian well in the world is being bored in Pesth, Hunga ry. It has already reached 3,000 feet. A well at Paris of somewhat more than ; half that depth has hitherto had the pre- • eminence. The city has devoted $200,- 000 to the work, which is undertaking I to supply warm water from hot springs for the municipal establishments and public bathe. -The boing will be prose cuted until the temperature of the water shows 178degress Fahrenheit. A chapel said to have been erected by the Crusaders has been discovered by the English explorers of Palestine, | under the guidance of Lieut. Kitchener. ' This chapel, which seems to date from the thirteenth century, stands upon the Mount of Olives, on the spot assigned by tradition as the place where Christ mounted the ass to make His entry into Jerusalem. Within the chapel there is a square piece of masonry or rock, supposed to be an altar, covered with paintings. A gentleman has brought from Ja lisco, to the City of Mexico, adog which speaks. The dog pronounces clearlv in Spanish, bread, beefsteak, Guadala jara, and many other words. The own er contracts the .-esophagus or gullet with his fingers, and in this manner the animal emits the sounds. In answer to questions, Where are you from ? he re plies, Guadalajara. What do you eat? Beefsteak. The owner says he has ex perimented with other dogs, hut he has not succeeded in making them speak. A. 8011, P a Py ru s, 139 feet long and 164 inches broad, was discovered by Mr. Harris, in an old Theban tomb, some 20 years ago. At his death, his daughter inherited the treasure. The Khedive, learning, through the Egyptologist, M. Brugsch Boy, of the value of the MSS., offered £2,000 for it; but Miss Harris accepted a higher offer from the British Museum. Dr. Birch and a eorps of as sistants have been engaged for some time in deciphering the inscriptions with which the papyrus is covered, and find that they afford a complete account of the life and works of Rameses 111., and of the condition of Thebes 3,000 years ago. France had more suicides in 1874 than ever before—s,6l7, of whom 79 percent, were men. Twenty-nine of the suicides were under 16; 193 from 16 to 21; 1,477 were from 21 to 40; 2,214 were from 40 to 60, and 1,599 were be yond 60. The ages of 105 were un known. Thirty-six per cent, were celi bates, 48 per cent, married,-and 16 per cent, widowed. Os those persons whose motives could be ascertained, 652 killed themselves in consequence of pecuniary reverses; 701 from family troubles; 815 from love, jealousy, and debauchery; 798 from physical suffering; 489 from various troubles; 1,622 from mental maladies, and 59 to escape punishment for the committal of capital crimes. A small English colony exists near Archangel, in Russia, which at the pres ent time enjoys perfect independence. This colony was formed gradually by emigrants drawn there by the establish ment by an English company of some important sawmills. The colonists have raised a town which neither figures on maps, nor upon official records of real property, nor in the rate-books. The inhabitants of this happy place, whose numbers are not mentioned, are there fore free from rates, taxes, and all oth er burdens such as weigh so heavily on British householders. They are, more over, independent of all local authority, and, indeed, of authority of any descrip tion. This strange colony is not the first of the kind which has sprung up in these quarters. Notlong ago an Amer ican town, established under somewhat similar conditions, was discovered in the neighborhood of the Bay of Morton, Kamtchatka. Grace Reformed Church in Pitts burg introduced a novelty at its recent fair. Young ladies, or ladies supposed to be young, were put up by auction, the successful bidders obtaining them as partners for the evening. To pro mote the fun of the occasion, the ladies were robed in white from head to foot while being auctioned off. The prices ranged from $2 to $5, and there was hearty merriment when the sheets were removed from the ladies, as each lady was knocked down to a successful bid der. Some of the gentlemen were de lighted with their luck, and others were badly bored by finding themselves com pelled to be attentive for a whole even ing to some lady not eminent for per sonal or mental attractiveness. It was an open question which of the two young men was most badly taken in, the one to whom his own maiden aunt was auctioned, or he whose partner for the evening proved to be his neighbor’s mother-in-law. The Banner, which is a sort of censor of the morals and man ners of the Pittsburg churches, says of the auction : “ The adoption of this mode of raising money is not among the desirable things.” In a recently published account of the Montenegrin army, some details are given of the extraordinary marches which have been made by its soldiers during the present war with Turkey. Before the battle of Butschidol the force engaged had marched for fourteen hours across country, over hill and dale, hav ing, moreover, been previously under arms for six hours. On this occasion the men had not a mouthful of food from daybreak until midnight; the day was intensely hot, the country traversed was mountainous and difficult, and yet not a man was left behind. When marching from place to place the Mon tenegrins never follow the roads, but move straight across country. Although heavily laaon, the men easily climb the steepest rocks or descend the most pre cipitous slopes. Besides their weapons they carry invariably a bread-bag and a plaid Their arms consist usually of a rille, a cutlass, and a revolver. The bread-bag contains generally an enor mous loaf of bread, biscuit, a flask, and a reserve of cartridges. The ammuni tion for immediate use, as well as money and any other small articles, are carried in the belt. Nice Things in the Line of Cheese. A erust of bread and cheese has long been a proverbial phrase indicative of penurious hospitality; but continental agriculturists bid fair to reverse its ap plication, judging from the elegant and tempting varieties of cheese now reach ing the London market in increasing I consignments. From the chalet high I up on Alpine meads, from communes of ■ sunny France, from Scandinavian fiord I and forest, low-lying Holland, and even distant Italy, this easily portable prod uct of the dairy finds its way to the English metropolis. Some few of these have long been known to the epicure, 1 but have only recently become articles ' of comparatively common consumption. Such is the Gruyere, which by right of size comes naturally foremost—a great cheese, weighing 100 pounds, rich and luscious, from Switzerland. It some times measures a yard in circumference. But upon this huge mass a delicate skill and at least a twelve-months’ attention has been lavished, to bring it to the ex act consistency of a species of firmer I butter, disappearing, as it were, upon the tongue. The process is carried on I in summer almost beside the glacier ami avalanche, and one part of the system is said to be a repeated gentle simmer ing of the curd. It sells in London at about a shilling a pound. Quite a con trast is presented by the Mont d’Or cheese-from France—a yellow disk, say five inches across, like a cake of solid honey. The taste is delicious, and lit has a tempting appearance upon ) the table. These cheeses are usually obtained by the dozen, costing tenpence each; which is also the value of the Camembert, still less in diameter, but thicker. A cheese commanding a wider sale is the Roquefort (French), the price of which, two shillings (50 cents) a pound,indicatesasuperiorquality. It is a cream cheese, coated with tinfoil, and weighing about four pounds; it is made from the milk of sheep, and when cut open is flecked with the peculiar decay so dear to the artist in eating. This moldiness is the chief object of the ma ker, who assists its development by the use of a little barley bread. The cheese is matured in a series of natural caverns, the draft through which effects the ripening. Roquefort and Gorgonzola (Italian) much resemble Stilton; the latter is also made from cream only, is very rich, and about the same price. The flavor of some of the continental cheeses is varied by the addition of Car raways or cummin; others are prepared with herbs, as the Schabzieger from Switzerland. France also sends the Fromage de Brie and Bondon (cream), Pont I’Evecque, etc.—not all, perhaps, quite attractive to the English nostril; and Switzerland the Neufchatel cream, like molten Stilton, and eaten like but ter on a slice of bread. Parmesan and Stracchino, from Italy, are well known ; the latter is a soft cheese,and only keeps a short time. The Limburg is a Ger man cheese; Edam and Gouda, one round and the other flat, are of Dutch make. In home produce, Devonshire cream has long been a luxury; York cream, New Forest cream, Victoria cream, and the little Aylesbury—said to be delicious—are hardly, perhaps, so well known as they deserve. There seems, indeed, a singularly' wide scope for invention and industry in the treat ment of milk; and the subject is not without an interest to those who arc pondering upon the problem of female employment. When the governess in an English family is paid £ls per an num, the lady who superintends the dairy—the professional cheese-maker— receives £25, £3O, and even more, liv ing as one of the family and enjoying complete liberty as soon as her work is done. The governess has “never fin ished;” when the children are in bed, she may be persuasively requested to as sist in sewing; but the “cheese-maker” after tea simply puts on her bonnet and walks forth to take the air. The life is decidedly more independent than that of a “ lady-help;” ana the science of the dairy seems nearly as worthy of schools I and teachers as that of cooking.— Pall Mall (London) Gazette. THE SAN ELIZARIO MASSACRE. Sheriff Kerber's Account of the Affair. Following are extracts from a letter addressed by the Sheriff of El Paso County, Texas, to Geo. P. Zimpleman, of Austin, father-in-law of Judge How ard, who was murdered by the Mexican mob at San Elizario: “ Already at 8 o’clock that evening Ellis was taken in front of his store, had his throat cut, and was then taken out side of the town and thrown to the dogs to eat. On Thursday morning Sergeant Mortimer, of the rangers, was shot in the back from a window of a store. He then walked to his quarters and died four hours afterward. Cant. Garcia was stationed with his three sons and an other Mexican on top of Charles Ellis’s store, and did good execution for the two days, having one of his sons and another Mexican killed and himself having two wounds. Since then he crossed the river, and his house is sacked of every thing. The mob was at least 800 strong, and daily increasing from the other side. As soon as Capt. Garcia surrendered, the rangers were exposed to the fire from Charles Ellis’s roof and from the roof of Mr. Ligon. The rangers were harassed up to Sunday from all sides, and every hour in the night, but drove back the enemy at every charge. On Monday they (the mob) had under mined the quarters, the tunnel running from a house standing west from the quarters and about sixty feet from it. The rangers were notified thereof un der a flag of truce, and the Lieutenant, after a long talk, received a promise from the mob commanders, on their word of honor, that Howard or any body else should not be hurt, and they only wished the promise of Howard to leave the oountry. Howard then agreed to go and see the mob, in company with Lieut. Tays, as also did J. G. Atkinson, who was by accident in the quarters of the rangers at the time the row commenced. Arrived at the council-room, Atkinson was put in a separate apartment. How ard told them he only came to San Elizario for a few days, then to return to Mesilla-; but this was of no avail. During that time Atkinson, to save his life, agreed to go to the rangers’ quar ters and tell the rangers, by order of Lieut. Tays, to surrender and give up their arms. This was done according ly, and then Howard and Tays were forcibly separated and taken to another room. At once Howard, Mcßride and Atkinson were marched off, put in line, and a file of nine dirty greasers from the other side of the river executed the mur der. Howard stood up with his hands on his hips, and received three shots, two in the breast and one in the left eye. Atkinson opened his shirt-bosom and told them to shoot high. Mcßride ask ed them to tell the Captain (meaning me) to take care, of his orphan children. So ended the life of poor Howard and Mcßride. “Thursday night, before the tragedy, I arrived at El Paso, and requested Captain Blair to help me, but he had orders to remain at El Paso. I tele i graphed to Las Cruces, La Mesilla and • Silver City, also to General Hatch and । to Governor Hubbard, to Senators Coke • and Maxey, at Washington. All prom ised help, but regulars travel slow. I j could not get a horse of the men here at El Paso. Mexicans I could not trust. j “And whom can we thank for all this trouble? It is hard to say, but it is only 100 true that some white men of this city are partly responsible. I will for i ward soon an affidavit to the Governor, which will show that even on Sunday night certain white men from here were at San Elizario, advising the mob, and these same men are officers of the State and United States. My previous re ports were not taken [notice of at Austin, and considered exaggerated, be cause I am only a poor man. and, of course, reports of rich merchants are more reliable. What they wanted was I to have Howard killed or driven from ! the country, and poor Mcßride had to i die because he was a friend of Howard. I will send affidavits about people from the other side—not only one, but 10U, if he wishes. All the militia on the other side is called out. I notified Judge Politics that I will disarm any body crossing the river. I have no Courts, no Justices. Nearly all were in the row, and I have to take it all in my hands. I know Texas will uphold me if no other State does. Yours, “ Chas. Kerber.” Catching Cold. As the cold-taking season is upon us, our readers may read with profit these suggestions from the Herald of Health: Tn the first place, as one of the means to prevent a cold, the daily bath in a warm room, with much friction, is very important. In no ease should the body be chilled. Use much friction over the chest and throat, and snuff into the nos trils a little of the water warmed to comfortable temperature. Next, after the bath, take daily exercise in the open air, neither too much nor too little, ex posing the body somewhat to the cold and sun for a short time, but never ex hausting it. One chief” danger from colds is the exhausted state of the body that first occurs, so it is not able to re sist unfavorable influences. People who are not very vigorous should avoid over-exertion, and keep the strength up to the highest point. It will help those prone to a cold to sleep all they can. Another cause of colds is eating too heartily after a day’s work, when there are not forces enough to digest the food and keep up the circulation. Eat moderately at night if you would avoid a cold. A cold in its early stages may be broken up by hot foot-baths, warmth to the body, especially a hot pack or a hot bath in the middle of the day, with much friction and quiet in a comfort able room. It is not advisable to take a hot bath at night in such cases. When you have a cold, don’t eat much or work much unless you have great physical strength, when a hard day’s work may be a good thing to equalize the circulation and restore the action to the skin, which always suffers when one takes cold. A Puzzled Justice. A man named Josh was brought be fore a country Squire for stealing a hog, and, three witnesses being examined, swore they saw him steal it. A wag having volunteered his counsel for Josh, knowing the scope of the Squire’s brain, arose and addressed him as fol- ows: “ May it please your honor, I can es tablish this man’s honesty beyond 'the shadow of a doubt, for I have twelve wit nesses who are ready to swear that they did not see him steal it.” The Squire rested his head for a few moments as if in deep thought, and with great dignity arose, and, brushing back his hair, said: “If there are twelve who did not see him steal it, and only three who did, I discharge the prisoner.” A NEW YEAR’S STORY. The Enda of Two Men Who Started To- : gether Forty Tears Ago. [New York Tribune Editorial, Jan. I.] Here is a little story which seems to us to suit the day. On New Year’s night, just forty years ago, two lads landed from an emigrant ship in New York. They were both honest, of de cent parentage, and intelligent. They discussed ways and means before sep arating to seek their fortunes in the New World. But the older boy, whom we shall here call Wright, had so many and such magnificent plans that the oth er l^vd opportunity to say but little. In fact, he had no plans nor castles in the air, being only concerned in finding im mediate work and wages. Wright, coming from a country where his class had no chance, was bewildered by the glittering possibilities of a republic. “ You will see me in the American Sen ate yet,” he said to his companion. The lad made this point his goal, and based all his action morbidly on it, just as Hastings did on the possession of the estate of his ancestors. Politics, Wright perceived, was the shortest wav up, clean or dirty; the newspaper was the quickest method of gaining knowledge of politics. He secured a situation in the office of a New York paper of unsa vory notoriety. The work was hard,the pay poor. lie eked out his resources by jobbery; and, after several years, it was hinted, by blackmail. The man was not without ability; he wrote one or two elaborate articles which are even yet remembered as the most brilliant of their kind. Literary men were scarcer then than now—a little talent made great bruit in the world. Wright be came a lion for the time, was handed about from club to club, and dined at rich men’s tables, until it was found that he had laid his one golden egg. His succeeding articles were insipid and bombastic. Then he was left to die alone, and to swill cheap wine and bad whisky at the grog-shops. He had acquired the taste for both. But the Senate was still before him. He turned ward politician, sank by de grees into the vilest depth of trickery and bribery. He had not been n bad man in the beginning. There were flashes of fine instinct, tender manner, manly feeling about him yet. He ran for Governor and barely missed success; i he lived by turns in the state-rooms of | the liest hotel and in the slums behind the Bowery. He is deal now. After । thirty-five years of useless struggle his i body, diseased through exhaustion and rum, was laid in the grave, and his | soul went—God knows where. Cer tainly it had been greatly deteriorated I in those years. In the meantime the younger man had made no mark in the world. Resettled in a Western village, worked, enjoyed himself, made new friends day by day. He was an earnest, thorough fellow. He became a physician, and there was no 1 more keen, patient practitioner in the । State. He fell in love; never was there a more ardent lover. He brought up his children in the fear of God, with clean minds, good digestion, high, honorable aims. lie is 11 i ing still, a white-haired, • erect, clear-eyed old man. who is not • known outside of his county, but has built a solid foundation under his feet for this world by fair dealing and love , to his neighbor, and for the next by hmnble trust in an all-merciful God. Now, we have told these incidents be cause there is not a reader of this morn ing’s Tribune who does not stand now just where those lads did on that New Year's night. We put our feet on the shore of a new world this morning. A good many of us will make fine plans, fix our eyes on some glittering height. ।lt is the American custom. Preachers and teachers urge babies in pinafores to i “ aim high.” Success is to be conquer ledby a sudden leap. A masterly mag azine article, a picture, dashed off in liery haste, some speech or deed or stroke of business ability, we think will I set the tongue <>t the town wagging this year ami carry us st raight up the heights. There is an old story of two men who 1 set out to reach a certain point. One j jogged on securely afoot. One made । himself wings like Icarus and flew a fui long, when the sun melted the wax and down he came in the slough. There are so many painters of one picture, writers of one novel down there in the ' mud with him. Or, if you arc devout, i you have felt ardent aspirations, no • doubt, this morning. You are going to i carry heaven by assault in 1878. You set before yourself ascetic self-denial, l raptures of devotion, and in the reach ■ ing for them you are blind to the wants of your oflice-boy, and nag your wife at the breakfast table. But on this first ; of January let us plan only for January ’ the first. We shall find enough work ! and reward in it. God will take care of I the rest. Twenty Years Trying to Move. • Twenty years ago a gentleman living along the Tennessee line, not more than 35 or 40 miles from Glasgow, concluded to move to California. The proposi tion met the cordial assent of all his family. Every thing was shaped to wards the removal. When the time came the land was unsold and some business remained unsettled. It was agreed that the mother and remainder of the family, except the father, should commence the move, which in those days consumed mouths in making. The father remained to settle up the affairs and sell the farm, intending to start as soon its he could wind up. The gentle man set himself to work, but found it an up-hill business to adjust his busi ness, and could find no suitable pur chaser for his land. Two or three years passed in fruitless efforts to get ready to leave, and eventually the muttering of war was heard,and speedily the blaze of civil discord caused all hope of fami ly re-union to vanish until the conflict should pass. The war over, things were in no shape for emigration. Time passed on until the gentleman had reached an old age, and infirmities have taken hold of him, and now the probability is the family meeting beyond the grave is all that lights up the hopes of either wing of the'long-separated family. The fam ily were bound together by the strongest ties, and the long separation has been a most painful one. It is certainly a most singular history.— Glasgow (Ky) Times. If we may credit a certain newspaper printed up among the mountains of the Granite State, a family in Plymouth, N. H., deserve to carry off the palm for ob stinacy. While the father and son were at work on a building two years ago, they got into a dispute and both quitted the task and left their tools sticking in the cracks, where they remained until a few days ago, when the son finished the job. While at work they removed the I windows of a sleeping room, but the fe- I male occupants, not to be outdone in j stubbornness, hung up quilts and occu-1 pied the room through heat and cold, j FARM AND FIRESIDE.

Young Radspinner and Lillian Deu senbury had long been lovers. They were engaged to be married. The day was set, and, waiting for the day to come, time moved as slowly as an ac | commodation train on a Western rail road. One evening, just a week before the time fixed for the nuptials, young Radspinner and Lillian were out stroll ing up and down the railroad track, en ‘ joying the calm and peaceful sunset. Lillian wore her wine-colored silk, and her proud voting lover had told her a ' hundred times that it made her look i sweet enough to drink. A tender speech was interrupted by the appalling screech of a steam whistle just around the curve. The limited mail was coming at the rate of sixty-five miles an hour. There was not a moment to lose. Young Radspin ner caught the beautiful arm of his be trothed and tried to drag her from the track. Her dress caught upon a spike and held her fast. She tried to kick it loose. She screamed and kicked, but the spike would not let go. The train was bearing down upon them like a de mon. They could almost feel its hot breath upon their cheeks. Young Radspinner stooped over and seized the I folds of the handsome dress in his hands, I intending to rip it from the spike, and : rescue from death the one fair woman I beneath the snn. She stopped him with | a cry of alarm : “ Don’t tear my dress!” “You must be released from this,” he yelled, “ the train is upon us!" “ Il's my wine-colored silk ; I would not have it torn for the world.” His love for her rose, above every thing else, and, renowins his hold upon the garment, he exclaimed ; “ Darn your wine-colored silk!” “ Don’t you dare to tear it!” she I cried, endeavoring to loosen his grasp. I The locomotive screamed again, this | time right in their ears. The brave girl ■ pushed her lover off tKe track and shout -1 ed above the rattle of the train: “Leave me, (Jeorge; leave mo, and save your self. I had hoped to live for you, for I love you devotedly, and I am sure we could have been very, very happy; but I would die a thousaud deaths rather than tear my wine-colored ” The locomotive struck her amidships and strung her along the track for a mile and a half. (Jeorge hunted and hunted until his eyes grew weary, but he could not find enough of the wine colored silk to make him a necktie.— Boston Courier. An Extraordinary ((ambling Fraud. For over a month past a heavy poker game has been going on in the card room attached to one of our popular sa loons. An unprecedented run of luck was the lot of the experts who were running the game in the interest of tjie saloon management, or at least, in the interest of those who controlled the card room of the saloon. A number of the most experienced card sharps in Los Angeles set themselves to unraveling the mystery. Still the luck stayed with the house and the confraternity were worsted to the tune of about <1,500. “ 'Twas strange, ’twas passing strange,” that no outsider could, under any cir cumstances, Win a game in that room, try they ever so hard, but so it was. At last two proficients took possession of the apartment, ostensibly for play, and locked the doors. They at once began a diligent search of the premises and un earthed a regular system of wire tele graphy, by the aid of which a stool pi geon, who saw the cards of the outsid ers, telegraphed their hands to the man ipulators of the skin game.
