ANAHEIM VOL. 6. Custer. BY EDMUND C. STEDMAN. What! shall that sudden blade Leap out no more? No more thy hand be laid Upon the sword-hilt, smiting sore? O for another such The charger's reign to clutch— One equal voice to summon victory, Sounding thy battle cry, Brave darling of the soldier's choice! Would there were one more voice! O, gallant charge, too bold! O, fierce, imperious greed To pierce the clouds that in their darkness hold Slaughter of man and steed! Now, stark and gold, Among thy fallen braves thou liest And even with thy blood defeat The wolfish foe; But ah, thou liest low, And all our birthday song is hushed indeed! Young lion of the plain, Thou of the tawny mane! Hotly the soldiers' hearts shall beat, Their mouths thy death repeat, Their vengeance seek the trail again Where thy red doomsmen be. But on the charge no more shall stream Thy hair—no more thy sabre gleam— No more ring out thy battle-shout, Thy cry of victory. Not when a hero falls The sound a world appals; For while we plant his cross There is a glory even in the loss; "Certainly," I said, and Bessie disappeared, blushing and smiling. Presently the door opened again, and I looked up to see Bessie's smiling face, but instead I jumped to my feet in astonishment. "Frank!" I exclaimed, for it was my son that stood before me. Frank wasn't the sort of a young man that gets surprised easily, and he said, coolly: "I didn't know that you were acquainted with Mr. Allen, father." "I'm not acquainted with Mr. Allen," said I, as soon as I could recover my breath. "I'm acquainted with Miss Bessie Allen." Frank shrugged his shoulders, and I took my seat again. "What do you think of Miss Allen?" he said, carelessly. "I think she is one of the nicest girls in all creation," I said, with enthusiasm. "Father," said Frank, after a short pause, "you said you would give your consent to my marriage after your return home; can't you do it now, and set my mind at rest?" "My son, you can marry to-morrow, if you wish." "Oh, sir! I—" Before Frank could say any more, Bessie entered. "Bessie," said Frank, taking her hand and bringing her over to me; "father says I can marry to-morrow if I wish. Will that be too soon for you, dearest?" As these words were spoken, I started to my feet. What I said, or how I acted, I never could tell to this day. I know, now, what Hetty meant by final settlement. conductor asked for him that he had for book, but said he would ductor would go with where he intended well dressed and gear the conductor did not When Ayer reached directly to the Wind there frequently been known.

But on the charge no more shall stream Thy hair—no more thy sabre gleam— No more ring out thy battle-shout, Thy cry of victory. Not when a hero falls The sound a world appals; For while we plant his cross There is a glory even in the loss; But when some craven heart From honor dares to part, Then, then, the groan, the blanching check, And men in whispers speak, Nor kith nor country dars reclaim From the black depths his name. Thou, wild young warrior, rest, By all the prairie winds caressed! Swift was thy dying pang; Even as the war-cry rang Thy deathless spirit mounted high And sought Columbia's sky— There to the northward far, Shines a new star, And from it blazes down The light of thy renown! "He'll Never Tell." I loved my son dearly. I apollied him with kindness. Not a few called me eccentric. I could not suit; but, then, who ever saw themselves as others see them! My son wanted to get married. Who the girl was I didn't know, so I refused my consent, not altogether because I didn't know who she was, for I might have found that out by asking, but I had other reasons for withholding my consent. "You are twenty-one," said I to him, "and you have plenty of time to marry. Your mother died when you were an infant, and during all these years I have never thought of marrying. I remained single just for your sake." "Well, nobody ever asked you to remain single," was the dutiful reply. "You can get married now—you're not too old—you haven't a streak of gray among your raven locks yet." Now, that was what I called generous. There is not many a son and heir, I'll warrant, who would be glad to see his father take a young wife. Young wife! yes, that's right; who ever heard tell of an old man looking for an old wife! As soon as my son said "marry" to me, I had my wife in my mind's eye. A real nice young girl whom I had met at my sister Hetty's, down in Hartford, a few months before. Now, I told my son that all these years I never thought of marrying. That was a falsehood, but I said it unthinkingly, for I thought of matrimony more than once during the last three months. That blue-eyed girl down at Hartford must have liked me very well, for she was so attentive to me. Indeed, I couldn't help noticing it. She had such winning ways, soft voice and pleasant smile. But I didn't go down to Hartford since, what was the use? I would be sure to see a real nice girl, for she was a neighbor of my sister, and what would my son say to such nonsense! No, no, I couldn't consent to my marriage after your return home; can't you do it now, and set my mind at rest? "My son, you can marry to-morrow, if you wish." "Oh, sir! I—" Before Frank could say any more, Bessie entered. "Bessie," said Frank, taking her hand and bringing her over to me; "father says I can marry to-morrow if I wish. Will that be too soon for you, dearest!" As these words were spoken, I started to my feet. What I said, or how I acted, I never could tell to this day. I know, now, what Hetty meant by final settlement. Well, Bessie is my daughter, and I'm satisfied. What an old fool I was, to be sure. The best of it is, though, no one knows it but myself. They all thought I knew that Bessie was Frank's intended wife, and you may be sure I let them think so. My errand to Hartford is locked within my bosom, and, to use the parlance of the day, "I'll never give it away." Helmbold and Ayer. Helmbold and Ayer, buchu and sarsaparilla, as everybody knows, the two great patent medicine men, have been for some time confined as lunatics. Both are undoubtedly insane. The escapes of Helmbold from his keepers have been numerous. The last took place a few days ago and led to some exciting antics at Long Branch. Ayer has escaped but once and was soon recaptured. So curiously coincident are the escapades in which the two patent-medicine celebrities have just figured that, even at the risk of repeating what you may have received from other sources, I am tempted to give some account of them. HELMBOLD AT LONG BRANCH. The famous Buchu-man's ingenuity in eluding those who have him in charge is astonishing. They need eyes all over them to watch his movements. His last escape took place while the keepers of the asylum were patriotically celebrating the glorious Fourth. Immediately on getting away from them he boarded a train for Long Branch. He had no money, but the conductor knew him and let him ride free to the Branch. He was in good spirits, seemed quite rational and chatted pleasantly on the way. Arriving at the Branch he went at once to one of the principal hotels and ordered the best suite of rooms in the house. "I have no money," he said to the clerk, "but you know me, Dr. Helmbold. It will be all right." The clerk did know him, and gave him the rooms. Early next morning two detectives from Philadelphia took him from the hotel by force. At the depot he gave them the slip and running into a hotel near by, demanded protection against kidnappers. He was well known there also, and the protection was given. Presently the District Attorney of the county came along and informed the detectives that if they attempted to take Helmbold away he would lock them up for kidnapping. This scared them off, and the Doctor remained. Pretty soon, though his madness began to show itself. He began to act strangely, even violently, and some friends who knew him well when he was one of the magnates of Long Branch, took him in charge. They got him into a large room and had men there to watch him. Presently he seemed to they finally persuaded he was safe again in evening. Dr. Ayer's be of a mild type, but tomatoes are hardly agree recently he got a rope around the keel a slip-knot and was good fellow, when tha scared him off. He was going to harm to see how it would has strong hopes of.

But I didn't go down to Hartford since, what was the use? I would be sure to see a real nice girl, for she was a neighbor of my sister, and what would my son say to such nonsense! No, no, I couldn't go down and cultivate that young lady's acquaintance. I loved my son too well to let anyone come between us. But now I had his consent to go ahead, and I meant to take him at his word, so I said to him: "I am going down to Hartford in a few days, and if you behave yourself, I may give my consent to your marriage when I come back." "Hetty," said I to my sister, a few days after, "does that young lady friend of yours, Miss Allen, visit you yet!" "Oh, yes. If she thought you were here she would have called, for she thinks the world of you." "I am glad to hear that," I said, and my heart gave a great thump. "Oh, are you! You've come round at last, then," said Hetty, laughing. I didn't exactly understand her, and I said, with some hesitancy: "Hetty, what sort of a wife do you think that girl would make!" "Now, Silas, I really believe you came down here to see Bessie Allen, and have a final settlement. Poor child, she'll be delighted. Here's her address, and go and see her at once." My face was burning as Hetty gave me the address. I couldn't speak a word. I took the address and hurried away. How could Hetty have guessed my errand! "Oh, how do you do? I am so glad to see you, Mr. Grey!" exclaimed Bessie Allen, when she opened the door to admit me. I held her hand for a moment in mine, and looked down at her, the same bright, pleasant face that had haunted me for the last three months. I returned her friendly greeting, and followed her into a pretty little parlor, where she sat down behind me, and chatted for some time, the blush never leaving her face. "I'll go and see if I can find father about." I know he will be happy to see you. Will you excuse me a moment? The insanity of Ayer has not been of as long standing as that of Helmbold. It is only a few months since the symptoms were first noticed. He was then taken to a private asylum in Westchester County, almost within sight of the old home of Horace Greley at Chappagus. It is managed by a New York physician named Choate, who has made a good deal of money by it. The programme of Ayer in making his escape was singularly similar to that of Helmbold. On one of the recent very hot nights a window in his room was left open for ventilation. He areas during the night, and after arranging a dummy in his bed to decry the keepers should they enter the room, passed out at the window. He then made his way to the railroad and took the fast morning train for New York. When the depot he gave them the slip and running into a hotel near by, demanded protection against kidnappers. He was well known there also, and the protection was given. Presently the District Attorney of the county came along and informed the detectives that if they attempted to take Helmbold away he would lock them up for kidnapping. This scared them off, and the Doctor remained. Pretty soon, though, his madness began to show itself. He began to act strangely, even violently, and some friends who knew him well when he was one of the magnates of Long Branch, took him in charge. They got him into a large room and had men there to watch him. Presently he seemed to be dozing, and the watchers withdrew their attention. This was just what the cunning madman wanted. Rising quickly and putting his hands forward before his face he ran to a large window and sprang through the glass. The window was near the ground, and the doctor was not hurt. He ran, but was pursued and captured. To secure him thoroughly had now become a necessity, and no other place being suitable he was taken to the jail and locked up behind bolts and bars. The cell in which he had been placed faced the street, and there the unfortunate man stood all day, wildly haranguing the crowd outside, beating his hands against the bars till the blood streamed from them, and calling on every one to save him from starvation. Poor Helmbold! His plight there in the miserable jail was a sad spectacle to the habitues of the Branch, who had often seen him in his splendid turnout in Ocean avenue, envied for his wealth and style and the observed of all observers. He has been taken back to the asylum in Philadelphia, but it will be very hard to keep him there. THE ESCAPE OF AYER. The insanity of Ayer has not been of as long standing as that of Helmbold.

CONDUCTOR ASKED FOR HIS TICKET, AYER TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD FOREGOTTEN HIS POCKET-BOOK, BUT SAID HE WOULD PAY IF THE CONDUCTOR WOULD GO WITH HIM TO THE WINDSOR, WHERE HE INTended STOPPING. AS HE WAS WELL DRESSED AND GENTLEMANLY IN MANNER, THE CONDUCTOR DID NOT PRESS FOR HIS FARE. WHEN AYER REACHED NEW YORK HE WENT DIRECTLY TO THE WINDSOR. HE HAD STOPPED THERE Frequently Before And Was Well KNOWN. JUST AS HELMBOLD DID AT LONG BRANCH, AYER TOLD THE CLERK THAT HE HAD NO MONEY WITH HIM, BUT AS HELMBOLD DID NOT DO, HE ACTUALLY BORROWED MONEY AT THE OFFICE. CERTAINLY NO ONE SEEING OR HEARING HIM WOULD ASSECT HIM OF INSANITY, FOR HE WAS PERFECTLY COURTEONS AND SELF-POSSESSED. ON GETTING THE MONEY HE HAD ASKED FOR, HE AT ONCE WENT OUT, SAYING HE WAS GOING DOWN BROADWAY TO PURCHASE SOME CLOTHING. DR. CHOATE AND ONE OF THE KEEPERS ARRIVED SOON AFTER IN SEARCH OF HIM, AND AFTER HUNTING AROUND FOR SOME TIME THEY FOUND HIM DOWN TOWN. AT FIRST HE WAS UNWilling TO RETURN, BUT THEY FINALLY PERSUADED HIM TO DO SO, AND HE WAS SAFE AGAIN IN THE ASYLUM THE SAME EVENING. DR. AYER'S INSANITY IS MADE TO BE OF A MILD TYPE, BUT SOME OF ITS SYMPATHIES ARE HARDLY AGREEABLE. ONE NIGHT RECENTLY HE GOT A ROPE AND STOLLE QUIETLY TO THE BED OF ONE OF HIS KEEPERS, WHO PRETENDED TO BE ASLEEP. HE FIXED THE ROPE AROUND THE KEEPER'S NEck, ARRANGED A SLIP-KNOT AND WAS PULLING AWAY LIKE A GOOD FELLOW, WHEN THE MAN YELLED AT him AND SCARED Him Off. HE AFTERWARD SAID HE WAS GOING TO HANG A MAN AND WANTED TO SEEHOW IT WOULD WORK. DR. CHOATE HAS STRONG Hopes Of His Recovery. Dressing For The Home. What Strangers Think Of Us Is Of The Smallest Possible Consequence, Compared With The Estimate Placed Upon Us By Our Children And Those With Whom We Are Bring Into Intimate Association. If They Love And Believe In Us, And Find In Us All Things worthy Of Admiration And Imitation, Of How Little Comparative Value Is The Approval Of Strangers! All True Refinement In Dress, In manner, In Character, Is The Result Of An Interior Worth And Genuineness. A Lady Arrayed In Simple Calico Is Often More Attractive And Graceful And Winning Than Another In Silks And Satins And Velvets. These Do Not Create Refinement Or Taste In The Wearer; They Are The Merest Framework Of The Picture, Which May Be A Plain Chromo-, Or A Wretched Daub, Or—a Masterpiece. With Pretty Calico At Six And Ten Cents A Yard There Is No Excuse For Untidiness In Our Women At Home. With The Present Styles, Calicoes May Be Made Simply, With Little Work, And So As To Be washed And Ironed With Very slight trouble. It Is More Folly For A Woman Who Expects To Wear Daily The Dresses She Makes Up To Make It In Three Stories—Skirt, Over Skirt And Basque, With Ruffles and Puffs And Trimmings. A Plain wrapper Or A Jacqueline And Skirt, With Bias Folds Of Trimming, Is Vastly Prettier For Calico Fabrics Than More Elaborate Styles Of Making, Especially For Those Women Who Have Little Children And Who Do Their Own Work. For Such, Calico Is The Only Sensible And Serviceable Home Dress. Every Time It Is Washed It Is As Clean And sweet And Fresh As When It Was New, And, With A Linen Collar In The Neck And A Dress Is George Washington and His Equipege. Washington's Carriage Was Of A Light Cream Color, Painted On The Panels With Beautiful Groups By Opriani, Representing The Four Seasons. He Was Preceded By Two Gentlemen With Long White Wands Who Kept Back The Crowd. His Stables At Mount Vernon were furnished with Thoroughbred horses. When He appeared On Horseback It Was Always With Fine Equipment, Accompanied By His Servant. For Mrs. Washington He kept A Chariot And Four Horsews, With Black Postilions In Livery. The Following Order, Sent To His London Agent, For Out-of-Door Equipage, Savors Of A Republican Simplicity Which Would cause a Stare in These Later Days. Man's riding-saddle, Large Plated Stirrups, and Everything Complete. A Very neat and fashionable (!) New-market saddle cloth. A Large and Best (!) Portmanteau, Saddle, Bridle and Pillion. Clock-bag, Surcingle; Checked Saddle-cloth. A Riding-frock of a handsome (!) Dracolored Broadcloth, With Plain Double-gilt(!) Buttons. A Riding Waistcoat Of Superfine Scarlet Cloth And Gold Lace, With Buttons Like Those Of the Coat. A Blue Surround Coat. A Neat (!) Swif-whip, Silver Cap. Black Velvet Cap For the Servant. He was Very fond Of Horses, And His Equipege Were Always Of A Superior Order. He kept A Register Of Both Horses And Hounds, And In hunting Was Always Superbly Mounted, And Wore A Blue Coat, Scarlet Waistcoat, Buckskin Breaches, Top Boots, and Velvet Cap. His Pack Of they finally persuaded him to do so, and he was safe again in the asylum the same evening. Dr. Ayer's insanity is said to be of a mild type, but some of its symptoms are hardly agreeable. One night recently he got a rope and stole quietly to the bed of one of his keepers, who pretended to be asleep. He fixed the rope around the keeper's neck, arranged a slip-knot and was pulling away like a good fellow, when the man yelled at him and scared him off. He afterward said he was going to hang a man and wanted to see how it would work. Dr. Cheate has strong hopes of his recovery. Samuel Adams. He was an incessant, untiring writer; it has been estimated that his political letters and other papers would fill sixteen royal octavo volumes. In every glimpse he get even of his private letters at this period there is constant evidence of "the iron hand in the velvet glove," to the last so characteristic of the man. John Adams, in his diary, speaks of an evening with his kinsman at the Calker's Club: "He [Samuel Adams] is zealous, ardent and keen in the cause, always for softness, delicacy and prudence, where they will do; but staunch, stiff, rigid, inflexible in the cause." After a close comparison of the four prominent speakers of the evening—Gray, Otis, Cushing and Adams—he adds: "The Il Penseroso is discernable in the faces of all four, but Adams has, I believe, the most thorough understanding of liberty and her resources, as well as that habitual radical love of it, of any of them, as well as the most correct, genteel and artful pen. He is a man of refined policy, steadfast integrity, exquisite humanity, genteel erudition, obliging, engaging manners, real as well as professed piety, and a universal good character, unless it should be admitted he is too attentive to the public, and not enough to himself and family." Firm as was the friendship existing between Samuel Adams and John Adams, far stronger than the tie of blood (they were cousins), the character of the former was at times a curious problem to the latter. Samuel Adams' contempt for wealth was so marked as sometimes, in the opinion of his thrifty kinsman, to deserve censure. As an instance of Samuel Adams' skill in dealing with mankind, an anecdote related by his daughter is worth place: At a meeting of the Assembly, where over two thousand persons were present, a committee reported that one Mr. Mac—a stubborn Scotchman and a large importer, had refused to come into the non-importation association. An angry spirit was manifesting itself, when Mr. Adams, with that suaviter in mode which always distinguished him, arose and moved that the Assembly resolve itself into a committee of the whole house, wait on Mr. Mac—and urge his compliance. This was met by an affirmative, and the business of the day proceeding, suddenly from an obscure corner, not relishing such a possibly massive argument, came a squeaking voice in a Scotch accent, "Mr. Moderator, I agree! I agree!" This unexpected interruption from the diminutive grotesque figure, in a reddish smoke-dried wig, drew all eyes upon him. His sudden conversion, and the manner in which it was obtained, brought thunders of applause. Mr. Adams, with a polite concordance bow of protection, pointed Household Hints. The question is often asked at what time in the day fruit should be eaten. In tropical countries, where fruit is the chief article of food, the rule appears to be that the earlier in the day it is taken the better, and the later, the worse. In hot weather many wise people will eat none after noon, alleging that the digestion then declines in power with the decline of the day, and the fruit, instead of digesting, decomposes, owing to the presence of the saccharine matter. The objection to fruit and certain kind of vegetables late in the day, be the explanation what it may, is certainly justified by an ample experience, though some persons can eat fruit at all hours without feeling any inconvenience. Ground glass may be successfully imitated in the following manner: Cut from tissue paper or white muslin fancy figures, and then, with transparent gum or paste, fasten the paper or muslin on the glass. Glass doors and windows covered in this way need no other screen to keep out questioning eyes or unpleasant sights. The same end may be obtained by applying to the windows with a brush a hot saturated solution of sal ammoniac or of Glauber's salts, or of Epsom salts. The crystallizations in the first instance will be in straight lines diverging from a point. The Epsom salts will form four-sided prisms, and the Glauber's salts six-sided prisms. A perfect and beautiful screen may thus be obtained. The almost universal testimony of men and women who have undergone great fatigue, such as riding long journeys without sleeping, or sitting up several nights little work, and so as to be washed and ironed with very slight trouble. It is more folly for a woman who expects to wear daily the dresses she makes up to make it in three stories—skirt, over skirt and basque, with ruffles and puffs and trimnings. A plain wrapper or a sacque and skirt, with bias folds of trimming, is vastly prettier for calico fabrics than more elaborate styles of making especially for those women who have little children and who do their own work. For such, calico is the oply sensible and serviceable home dress. Every time it is washed it is as clean and sweet and fresh as when it was new, and with a linen collar in the neck, such a dress is good enough for every day wear; better far than a shabby woolen dress with soiled and draggled flounces, with torn and tangled fringe, with dirty sleeves, and dust grimmed into it everywhere. We must live with ourselves all the time as well when at home as when abroad,and she who really respects herself and would keep on good terms with herself morning noon and night cannot, so far as she is honest and genuine and a hater of shams neglect to keep her person and dress tidy without injury or suffering of some sort,either in herself or those around her. After all that may be said about it,tidiness is as much the result of training and habit as of interior necessity,and unless one is careful not to relax the sinews of determination in this respect,the exigencies of every day life and the natural tendencies to lower the tone below concert pitch will little by little,cause negligence to creep in until indifference to externals gradually increasing,untily dress at home will be the rule and not the exception. A Village Washed Away and Forty-Two Persons Drowned. Dubuque, Iowa, July 5.-A fearful storm swept over this city last night carrying death and destruction in its wake. The rain commenced falling about 10 o'clock,and continued for three hours with a solid sheet of water accompanied with thunder and lightning,making worst storm ever experienced. Death and destruction are visible on every side.All the bridges on the wagon roads and railroads are swept away,and no train can arrive or depart for several days.Houses were carried down stream by the torrents and their occupants drowned.Cellars are filled with water,the streets are washed out,Live stock is drowned and mourning takes the place of joy.The village of Rockdale,twenty-seven miles from the city,built in a ravine on a stream,ainundated at the dead hour of night while the storm was raging and the lightning flashing,bYthe breaking away of the mill-dam some distance up the stream.From the rush of water every building in the place was swept away with the flood except the mill and their occupants carried away and drowned.Of forty-two bodies missing,nineteen dead bodies have been found along the bank of the stream.Rockdale is a small place of about two hundred inhabitants,built upon a creek and contained a post-office,hotel.store and other structures.The rain fall in a solid body for three hours,and the stream rose to the size of a river,and at about one o'clock,而the lightning was flashing和thunder.

house, wait on Mr. Mac—and urge his compliance. This was met by an affirmative, and the business of the day proceeding, suddenly from an obscure corner, not relishing such a possibly massive argument, came a squeaking voice in a Scotch accent, "Mr. Moderator, I agree!" This unexpected interruption from the diminutive grotesque figure, in a reddish smoked wig, drew all eyes upon him. His sudden conversion, and the manner in which it was obtained, brought thunders of applause. Mr. Adams, with a polite, condescending bow of protection, pointed to a seat near by, and quieted the discreet and frightened Scotchman. In the fall of 1776, when Mr. John Adams and Mr. Samuel Adams were both in Philadelphia, the former sent his wife, by Mr. Gerry, a pound of green tea as a present, paying for the same upwards of forty shillings. Through some mistake on the part of the messenger, the canister was given to Mrs. Samuel instead of Mrs. John. On hospitality intent, the former invited the latter, with some friends, to a tea-drinking. Mrs. John praised the tea which Mrs. Samuel's sweetheart had sent her, and grumbled not a little in her next letter to John that he should not have been as attentive as his kinsman. The cream of the joke appeared, however, when Mrs. John discovered it was her own tea with which she had been so bountifully entertained. Of course, when the error was discovered, Mrs. Samuel returned all that remained.—Harper's Magazine. GAYLY THE TROUBADOUR—Serenading is a pleasant amusement to the serenader, and not disagreeable to the serenaded, if there is music in your soul and voice. The Rochester Democrat tells this story of a student's serenade, and what came of it: The evening was balmy and pleasant, and so spring-like, that very naturally the young man's fancy lightly turned to thoughts of love. He found the house, planted himself under her window, touched his light guitar, and paused forth his soul in song. A light suddenly appears, and his heart is filled with joy. The window is raised, and a fair form is indistinctly seen. O, what bliss! A voice, unmistakably that of the big brother, comes down like a falling star. "Move on, young man! We don't want to buy any fish!" PENN discussion when it takes forms with daily. STRAWBERRY BLANC MANGE—For a quart of strawberries take four ounces of white sugar; crush the strawberries with a silver spoon and mix them well with the sugar. In four hours strain them through a sieve. In a pint of boiling milk dissolve two ounces of gelatin, add to it four ounces of sugar, strain through a bit of muslin, and mix with it one and one-fourth pints of cream, stir till nearly cold, then add the strawberries gradually, beating the two quickly together; then drop in a little at a time the juice of one lemon. Butter mould, pour the mixture in, and set in a cold place over night. APPLE CHARTREUSE—In a quart of milk boil till tender half a pound of rice with four ounces of sugar. Pare seven good-sized apples, and take out the cores without opening them through. Put in each apple a teaspoonful of some kind of jam, and fill with cream. Put in a deep dish and arrange the rice around them, leaving the tops of the apples uncovered, make the whole smooth, and frost with the white of an egg well beaten; sift sugar over it, and bake forty minutes. BREAD OMELET—Put in a slow pan a cup of cream, the same of bread crumbs, a little salt, a dust of pepper, a little nutmeg. Set over the fire, and when the bread has soaked up all the cream remove from the stove, cool, then beat a dozen eggs thoroughly mix with the cream and crumbs, and fry. Serve as an omelette. CREAM FILLED—Half teaspoon of sugar, one egg, quarter cup of flour, beaten together and stirred into half pint of boiling milk, a little salt, and one and a half temperaments of lime. Half and half until it thickens. in this way need no other screen to keep out questioning eyes or unpleasant sights. The same end may be obtained by applying to the windows with a brush a hot saturated solution of sal ammoniac or of Glauber's salts, or of Epsom salts. The crystallizations in the first instance will be in straight lines diverging from a point. The Epsom salts will form four-sided prisms, and the Glauber's salts six-sided prisms. A perfect and beautiful screen may thus be obtained. The almost universal testimony of men and women who have undergone great fatigue, such as riding long journeys without sleeping, or sitting up several nights in succession, is that they could do it best upon an occasional cup of tea—and nothing else. But a little tea or coffee restores quite as much as a great deal; and a great deal of tea, and especially of coffee, impairs the power of digestion. Death and desolation are seen on all sides. The scene, with the shrinks of women and children in the blackness of the night was heartrending. Search is being made for those still missing. ANECDOTES OF WEBSTER'S BOYHOOD—When Daniel Webster was a little fellow at school, the master, one Saturday, held up a new jack-knife, and told the scholars that the boy who would commit to memory the greatest number of verses from the Bible, and recite them on Monday morning should have that knife. Many of the boys did well, but when it came Daniel's turn, he recited sixty or seventy verbs, and said that he had several chapters more. The master gave it up. Daniel got the knife. When about seven years of age, his father kept a "Yankee tavern," and young Daniel used to entertain the guests by reading to them some of the Psalms of David. Even the rough teamsters when they pulled up their horses before the house would say, "Come let's go in and hear a psalm from Dan Webster!" His voice at that time was deep, rich and musical. But as a school-boy, he was no elocutionist, or rather, his sensitiveness was such that he could not practice. His first effort at fourteen was a failure for the moment he began he was embarrassed,and burst into tears. He tried many times preparing himself carefully but when his name was called,and he saw all eyes turned upon him,他 could not rise.So much for this great ornament.Let no timid boys be discouraged. The world can never seem on a heart of love. GAZETTE. NO. 44 The Treatment of Murad by the Late Sultan. Prince Joseph Lubomirski gives some interesting details, says a Paris correspondent of the New York Times, respecting the new Sultan of Turkey, and says that of all the brothers of Abdul Medjid, Murad was the one on whom the most hopes were based. This was because he had been tried by adversity. Kept in confinement a long time by his uncle, he spent his time in study and obtained a better education than any other member of the family. He was thoroughly imbued with civilized ideas also, and in favor of introducing western progress into Turkey. He writes French very well indeed, and probably knows English also, since he has an English wife. During a period of fifteen years Murad has to remain at the orders of his capricious uncle, and Prince Lubomirski gives some domestic scenes to show what their relations were. When the Sultan was in bad humor he sent his nephew away from the palace, and ordered him shut up in the kiosk, where he was closely watched. Suddenly Murad would be sent for. "Why was it," said Abdul Aziz, on one of these occasions, "during your exile from the palace that you looked constantly toward Scutari?" Murad made no reply. "I know," said the Sultan, "it is because you expect some one to come from Asia to dethrone me and put you in my place. I went of my own free will among the infidels (alluding to his trip to Europe), but you tried to make people believe that I led you about by force." I am a Giaour am I not! And you are ima- Sitting Bull and the Sioux. PERSONAL SKETCH OF THE SAVAGE CHIEF —PECULIARITES OF THIRD WHEN ON THE WAR PATH. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat of Saturday gives the following sketch of the Sioux Chief, in a conversation with Mr. J. D. Keller, of that city: Mr. Keller was from 1868 to 1873 clerk of the Agent at Standing Rock, and hadample opportunities to get acquainted with this tribe of bloodthirsty savages.In fact he lived among them so long that he learned to speak their language "like a native," and was a great favorite of the big chiefs who came to the agency. They called him "Minnehah Ochila" (the Writing Boy). The word Sioux means "wet throat." According to Mr. Keller's statement, the various bands of Sioux number from 35,000 to 45,000, and are divided into the following different tribes: Unkapapa, Black Feet, Sans Area, Two Kattles, Upper Yanktonais, Lower Yanktonais, Santee Sioux, Burgklys, Minnesota jons and Galkas. Part of Sioux lye east, and part live west of the Missouri river.Tatonko Otahka (Sitting Bell), who led the savages in the fight against Ouster belongs to the Unkapapas (dried beef eaters). Mr. Keller knows him well, and describes him to be about five feet in height. He has a large head, eyes and nose, high cheek bones; one of his legs are shorter than the other from a gunshot wound in the left knee. His countenance is of an extremely savage type, betraying that bloodthirstiness and brutality for which he has been so long notorious.

Child body for threerose to the size of one o'clock, while leading and thunder "Why was it," said Abdul Aziz, on one of these occasions, "during your exile from the palace that you looked constantly toward Scutari?" Murad made no reply. "I know," said the Sultan, "it is because you expect some one to come from Asia to dethrone me and put you in my place. I went of my own free will among the infidels (alluding to his trip to Europe), but you tried to make people believe that I led you about by force. I am a Giaour, am I not? And you are immaculate!" Murad still said nothing, and Abdul Aziz glared at him until he trembled with fear for his life. "And why is it that you never go out? You want to make people think that I have shut you up. And why, hey! Why don't you reply!" he cried, angry at Murad's silence. "I am always at the orders of your Majesty, but I thought it was forbidden for me to go out." "Not at all! Go out! Take your promenades in public; I order it." The next day Murad went out in a carriage, and had hardly returned to the palace when the Sultan sent for him, and said sharply: "You went out with four horses?" "Yes, sire, they hitched up a gala carriage." "And you know very well that I alone go out with four horses. You wanted to show by that that you were my equal." "Me, sire, your equal—" "Silence, and show yourself more modest in the future." A few days later Murad received another order to show himself in public, for public rumor said that the Sultan was keeping him a prisoner, and he went out with only two horses. Abdul Aziz then accused him of going in this modest way to make the public think that he was not allowed enough to live according to his rank. For fifteen years Murad was subjected to such treatment as this, and he wrote his complaints to a sympathetic friend, who has his letters to-day. Lately he gave way to despair, and was preparing to flee from Turkey, when taken out of his bed by force and pushed upon the throne. Abdul Hamid, the second son living of Abdul Medjid, is now heir to the throne, and there are three other brothers. Youssouff Izzedium Effendi, the son of Abdul Aziz, is therefore fourth in the line of succession. The Undecided Boy. Yesterday morning a boy with a new linen coat on, a red ribbon under his chin, and a sneaking smile of contentment lurking around the corners of his mouth, halted on the corner of Woodward and Jefferson avenues, and inquired of a boy about his own age what time the next excursion would leave. Now, you just hold on," replied the one addressed. "You just wait a day or two and my dad's society is going to have an excursion that will make the chips fly. There will be free lemonade on board, and a big dinner for nothing." "Don't you talk!" exclaimed a third boy, who had been hanging to a hitching-post near by "My father's society is going nais, Santee Sioux, Burgklyn, Minneapolis and Galksas. Part of these llye east,and part live west of the Missouri river.Tatonko Otahka (Sitting Bell), who led the savages in the fight against Cluster,belongs to the Unkapapas (dried heat eaters). Mr. Keller knows him well,and describes him to be about five feet in height. He has a large head, eyes and nose,高 cheek bones; one of his legs are shorter than the other from a gunshot wound in the left knee.His countenance is of an extremely savage type,betraying that bloodthirstiness and brutality for which he has been so long notorious. He has the name of being one of the most successful scalpers in the Indian country. There has been a standing reward of $1,000 offered for his head for the last eight years, by the Montana people,who have special cause to know his ferocious nature,and some of his worst deeds have been perpetrated in that territory.The Sioux,when on the war path,black their faces from the eyes down,the forehead being painted a bright red.When in mourning,and very eager to revenge the death of friends or relations,they cut their hair short,and daub their faces with white earth.Their feats of horsemanship are wonderful.They consider the greatest act of valor to be the striking of their enemy with some hand instrument while alive,and whether alive or dead,它是 first one that strikes the fallen foe that "counts the coup,"and not the one that shoots him. They do not always scalp.Their object in scalping is to furnish a proof of their deed,and give them to their women to舞 over.They always attack in a sweeping,circling line,eagle-like,give a volley,pass on,circle and return on a different angle.When they kill one of the enemy there is always a rush to get the first crack at him,so as to "count the coup,"and then some Indian who was disappointed in getting a cut at the victim while alive,scalps him.The Sioux always camp with tapes(lodges) in a circle,making.as it were,a stockade,and when on dangerous ground they picket their ponies in the center.Mr.Keller is familiar with the ground where the disastrous engagement of Cluster occurred.Concerning this he said: "My idea of the Custer slaughter Is that the Indians had no women and children in their lodges,and had parapets dug under the lodges out of sight.Custer, thinking it a family camp,rushed into the center of their fort,where resistance would necessarily prove fatal.His only means of escape was after finding himself in this fix,to run right through and out,and not stop to fight,但 join Reno's command and retreat." A Clever Juggler. The narrative of the wonderful performances of the conjurer Pimetti at St.Petersburg,which has cropped up at intervals for some years past,是 again "going rounds."According to the story,他 was engaged to perform before the Miuper Alexander about the beginning of the present century,the hour being fixed for seven.He did not arrive until eight,and being reproached with the delay,s asked the monarch and his counters to look at their watches,当它 was found that every time-piece in the palace had been put back an hour.A minute or two afterwards they all indicated that correct time without having been touched.Hi Yesterday morning a boy with a new linen coat on, a red ribbon under his chin, and a sneaking smile of contentment lurking around the corners of his mouth, halted on the corner of Woodward and Jefferson avenues, and inquired of a boy about his own age what time the next excursion would leave. "Now, you just hold on," replied the one addressed. "You just wait a day or two and my dad's society is going to have an excursion that will make the chips fly. There will be free lemonade on board, and a big dinner for nothing." "Don't you talk!" exclaimed a third boy, who had been hanging to a hitching-post near by. "My father's society is going to excure it. Week, and every boy who goes along will ice cream, soda water, lemonade, oranges and raisin cake free of cost." "Who are you?" sneered the other. "Why, when my dad's excursion goes out we shall have quail on toast, fried oysters and clam bake, and there will be a chance to bet on poker and buy prize packages with dollar bills in 'em." The assertion was a stumper, but the other boy came to time lively. Stretching out his arm and assuming all the dignity possible he replied: "Yes, but your excursion won't have any dog fights, and men fights, and boy fights, and mine will! You'll see women pull hair, and men get knocked endways, and I guess we'll arrange to have four or five children drowned." The strange boy with the new linen coat on leaned first toward one and then the other, as their statements were made, and when the case had been closed he stood neutral and undecided. He wanted to go on both excursions, if possible, and when last seen was returning home to secure the advice of his mother—Detroit Free Press. A country clergyman, who had been accustomed to minister to the spiritual needs of a congregation in the backwoods, was called upon to occupy the pulpit of an absent metropolitan brother. The day being excessively hot, and his sermon exceedingly long, he made his preparations accordingly. He first removed his cravat, and then his collar and cuffs, and then his coat, and was proceeding to get rid of his vest, when there was a stir among the wombippers, and one of them, rising, said in a deep, deliberate voice, "I don't know what may be the brother's intention, but perhaps it might well be understood before he goes any further, that this isn't a bath-house." He pretended with his vest on. The narrative of the wonderful performances of the conjurer Pimetti at St. Petersburg, which has cropped up at intervals for some years past, is again "going the rounds." According to the story, he was engaged to perform before the Bimaror Alexander about the beginning of the present century, the hour being fixed for seven. He did not arrive until eight, and being reproached with the delay, asked the monarch and his counters to look at their watches, when it was found that every time-piece in the palace had been put back an hour. A minute or two afterwards they all indicated the correct time without having been touched. He introduced himself into the Emperor's private apartment mysteriously when the palace doors were all locked and guarded, and the conjurer was supposed to be under police surveillance at his own house. The most brilliant triumph of his career at St. Petersburg; however, was his exit. He gave out that he would leave at a certain hour by all the city gates simultaneously. Large crowds excited by curiosity watched at each of the fifteen gates, at every one of which Pimetti was recognized at the time appointed as walking slowly out; he addressed the people, bidding them adieu in an audible voice. The testimony of the officers placed at every portal to inspect passports confirmed these unanimous declarations. The marvels of modern Spiritualism, so far as physical manifestations are concerned, are far outdone by these fixtures; as they are also by the kindred performances of the Hindoo conjurers. Dr. Luzz, a distinguished agronomical writer and chemist, said in an address before the New York Agricultural Society: "I regard it as one of the greatest discoveries of this age that about almost twenty per cent. of the ingredients which make up the whole substance of wheat, rye, barley, oats, peas and beans, exist in the air in inexhaustible quantities. To maintain these seriform bodies into the plants above named and into grass and roots in the smallest expense is the object of many all your hard work." This was spoken thirty years ago, and the double says that the views then expressed will not now be called in question. If you have money to lent don’t put it in New York real estate. Prof. Marriman states that by a rentman in public conditions in 10,000 guars from New York city will be $200 fast under water. And no man could live $500 fast under water many weeks without attaining a dangerous cold.
