So, like white people under yellow fever and cholera, being unable to stay the hand of the destroyer, multitudes of the race miserably perished. Who, under such harrowing distress, wonders at their superstitious folly and horrid resentment? But now Indians have more knowledge. There arc good reservation doctors or army surgeons near at hand. Contagion and epidemic arc met at the threshold and frustrated. There is n« more sweeping of men, women and childrcnirom these causes into untimely graves.

The doleful sound of the hammer and anvil, used by tho mothers, is welded into every nerveand fiber of the unborn babe, and after its birth it is lulled to sleep by tho same mournful cadence, and its little body rests on the big bellows, or swings in the rude cradle that hangs from the rafters.

Nails, such as are used in the bottoms of ships, hobnails for heels and soles of shoes, and chains of different sizes, Nos. $$', and X, are the sizes isade by these women, some nt whom aro over sixty years old.

The Gambler's Last Bet.

Nobody but a gambler would think Oi betting on his own life, says the Cincinnati Times-Star. Bony Nash, a well-known character of the gambling fraternity, died about fifteen years ago of a dropsical affection. While he was in a decline his companions subscribed to send him to Louisville. Billy Lewis was appealed to for f5. '•Fivedollars!" exclaimed the old man, "I'll give t5. We'll send him to New Orleans and he can't get back.'' Bony, however, went to the Fails City, and in a few days returned looking much improved. Jim Ruffia was then chief of police. "Heltat Bony/" exclaimed the chief mi meeting Nash one day. "You are looking much better yoo'llhre ten years longer/' This occurred Tuesday. "1*11 bet 15 I'll be dead before Saturday," said Bony. "I'll take ft," the chief, and the money was put up.
