Comes a Nation's destiny. Ia th Indian Country. ST GENERAL JA. BRISillX. V. . A. GoMen Day. Mv first lUtion in tho army out"Wc3t -was at Fort llawell, iu Wyoming Territory There was little game nor r the fort, and but few flih in the streams, lUil we did the best we could to amuse ourselves. I remcmbor one day going to Crow Creek, with a Lieutenant and a dozen soldiers, to catch white-fish. They would not bite, and to avoid returning home without a string, I ent for some grain sack, bent willow hoops in their mouths, and forming the men in a line across the narrow streams, sent others above to wade and drive tho l!sh into the tucks. By dint of labor and pushing under the banks with polos, we caught about L'00, and returned home quite jubilant over our success. The fiih were bony, tasteless, and so poor eating we never attempted to take any more. In a short time, I was ordered into the Republican country, with a oolumn of carairy, and was delightod to learn we should find all kinks of gamo there, and in great abundance. At North Platte, on the Tlatta river, I found General liradley encamped, with a oolumn of infantry, and turning south at this point, wo pa-si d together directly over to the Republican river. On our way the first day out T caught some flsa in a stream called the Medicine, but they were only chubs, and not very good eating. The next day, about noon, we entered a largo grovo of timber, and whil riding through it several wild turkeys flew up from under our horses' feet. Una old fellow lit on the limb of a tree, and a shot from an officer's revolver brought him down. There were plenty of ripe wild-plum in the woods, most delicious to the taste, and we sated our appetites and filled our pockets. They were banging in red clusters on the trees, and the soldiers gethered them for dinner, stewing and then sprinkling them with white sugar, which made a moit delightful dish. Pomegranate and wild grapes grew along the stream, the grape-vines climbing over the tree, in pretty lestoons, but the fruit -was too green to eat. Blackbird.', woodchucks, dovee, thrushes, red-winced woodpeckers, and many smaller birds flew about in all directions, chattering incessantly, and evidently much surprised at seeing such singular-looking strangers invade their quiet home. The Indians had encamped in tho grove not long before our arrival, and many of the lrames of their lodges were still standing, .some of them seeming to have been but recently abandoned. The frames were made of poles, stuck in the ground, the tops being bent over and fastened together with thongs of rawhide. Some had both ends ot the j Kles driven in the ground, the middle being nt up and forming a half-moon. Over these frames the Indians had stretched the skins of wild animals, pinning them to the ground with small wooden pegs, and in these houses they had lived, completely sheltered from wind and rain. The shape of an Indian wigwam depends entirely upon the owner's taste. He bnilds it round, conical, oval or peaked, according to his fancy. The mo-t popular form of lodge is tall and peaked, like a Sibley tent, but I have seen them square, wedge-shape, and many half-round, line ft wagon-iheet set on the ground over its bowg. The war lodges resemble great kettles turned upon their mouths. Coming out to an open place among the trees, I saw a little valley without timber, but plenty of green grass, and within a hundred yards of us a herd of blacktailed deer were grazing. We fired a dozen shot, and Nebon, my guide, had the good fortune to bring down a fine buck. It was on our way out to the Republican I had an adventure, which I shall not soon forget. One evening I had ridden in advance of the column two or three miles, with a few soldiers, to Iook for a camp. "We had found the the desired place, and were about to unsaddle, when a cavalryman, who baa been some distance ahead, came backwith hia hat full of ripe wild plums. I inquired where he had got them, and on his replyirifft A little way up the canyon," I mounted my horse and rode of in the direction In indicated, takine no men or avrras with me I had no idea of going far from camp, but must have missed the place, and kept on nearly a mile looking tor tne piumgrove. At list I came to a thick patch of bush, and fitting on my horse began to gather and eat the fruit. A slight noüe attrac el my attention, and looking up I saw an Indian on a pony, not more than fifU-en feet distant. He, too, wa gathering plum, and we espied each other at the same moment. It is bard to say whicfi of the two was most aetoni bed or frightened. I hallooed at the top of my voice, and the Indian, putting whip to his pony, fli up the valley at full speed. As sor n as a bend in the canyjn hid him from view, I clapped spurs to my horse andjiover let up until I reached the camp. It taught m5 a je?on, and I havo never since gone hunting wild plums without Arms. In one place we found a large burying ground It was in a grove of timber, sn) tbebodks wen ?ai 1 up in the trees. Under a larrp limb 1 picked up a skull in the gTas, and lex king overhead saw a scaffold, on' which lay a d-al Indian, wrapped in his blanket." Oiher biies were near bv, some inclosed in buff.tlo robes, others in furs, and some in bark-coffins, bound round with trips of raw-bide. Many war laid to rest in the simplest manr.er, bat a few were gaudy with red and blue flanrtejOna old fallow had tufts of feathers at his
head. Some of the, bodies wer rerr old, tut several seemed t j have been burled quite recently. One old Indian raated in the forks of a tree near the ground, and his body had been fixed up with great caro, indicating that he was a chief, lis had lain on- hU scaffold along time. The robes and blankets about him were rotten, the scaffold was falling to pisce, and his fioshless head protruded from his grave wrappings. Touching the head with a stick, it dropped from the backbone, and fell to the ground with a thud. As it lay there, with iu eyeless sockets, the white cheekbones gleaming in the sunshine, and a broad grin on the fleehleas mouth, I could not belp thinking of the lines oa poor Yorick, and I said: Perhaps he, too, in his day, was a fel!ow of infinite jest." A little further on, I saw an Indian baby that had been carefully put up in bark, and swinging to a limb. Its little cotfln was lashed about with rawhide, and it was suspended with thongs of the same material. Some attempt had been made to ornament its singular grave by tying strips of red and blue cloth around its coflin, and among the branches of the tree. Poor little Indian baby I tho sight of it made ine feel sad, and 1 thought of another little baby sleeping in tho green graveyard far away among tho mountains of Pennsylvania. I thought, too, it was the darling of some fond, though savage and tawneyskinned mother, who, perhaps, with her own hand had laid it to rest. To-night she would dream about it in her distant prairio home, and again it would nestle on her loaom. Remembering my own little birdlings in thoir Kastern homo, I reverently uncovered my head and left the spot. Next day I found tho coffin of the baby had been cut down, its body turned out on the ground and all tho trinkets taken away. I endeavored in vain to find out the soldier who committed this ruthless act, and, had I discovered bim, I certainly would havo pun ished him very severely, for I was justly very angry about it. In tho evening, tho doctor a smart (Jerman, named (Jneisdorf came to mo with some skulls ha had gathered in the woods and tried to explain them. He said one of the heads was that of a young girl, certainly not more than seventeen years of ago when sho had died, and who had been dead at least twenty years, then he went on to give me his reasons for
such an opinion, all of which seemod very good. Next ho showed mo the skulls or an old man and a woman, and one of a person who, ho said, muit have bocn dead for over fifty years. General Bradley who was in advance, sent mo a note to say he was approaching the Republican River, and that tho scouU reported the country beyond full of herds of buffalo, antolopo and elk. I naturally felt anxious to get forward. Little Folk Abroad. You seem to enjoy telling fibs " dryly re marked an old lad v to her little niece the other day 'Yes, Auntie," replied tho child. "I think I do, rut I enjoy having you swallow them more." "What is the first thing to bo dono in case of fire?' asked Professor Stearns, "Sue the Insurance Company," promptly answered the boy at tho foot of the class, whose father bad boon burned out once or twice. A small boy went to seo his grandmother. After looking eagerly round the handsomely furnished worn where she eat, he ex claimed, inquiringly, "Oh, grandma, where u the miserable table papa says you keep 7 "Oh, Mr. Lingerie, you've got on your reck led stockings!" exclaimed a sweet child, on the Ocean House piazza, where that gentleman was the center of an admiring group; "and Cousin Julia pays they just match your complexion." A little boy of seven had been ordered to taice claret by tho doctor. A person dining with the family, said to him: "lou should put a little water with it; it brings out the taste.". ''That's very fine," responded the seven-year-old, ,rbut I prefer the taste left in." What,',!asked a Galveston Sundav-school teacher, ia that invisible power that prevents the wicked man from sleeping, and cause him to toss about on his pillow, and what should he do to enjoy that peace that pauset h understanding?" "Sew up the hole in the mosquito bar," was the prompt answer from the foot of the class. "You're sister 'Melia's feller, ain't you?' asked tho little trotter not yet out of dresses. "Well, what do you think about it? ' was the replying question with a redness of the face that nearly matched his hair. "I fink," said tho little one, "that mamma talks aw fully 'bout the margerine on your hair gettin the sew wall paper dirty." There s where the child made a mistake. He drew no candy that trip. Ilere is a good illustration of the motives by wheh most men are moved: A Sunday school teacher said, "Now, children, if a boy should strike you on your way to school it would be your duty to forgive him, wouldn't it?" '-Yee, ma'am." from tho whole class. And you would really forgive him, wouldn't you?" she continued. One little fellow answered with cal-n deliberation. 'Yes, ma'am,! think I would, 'specially if ho was bigger thar I am." Tho nervous mother of a bright littloboy was alarmed led he fehould take the whooping cough, which prevailed in the neighborhood. She talked so much about it and worried over it that she had infected the child with her fears to such an extent that he would scarcely leave her side. One night after the little fellow had been put to bed and asleep a donkey was driven past the house, and when just opposite set up his hehaw. With a shriek the little fellow wa out of bed, screaming at tho top of his voice. "The whooping-cough is coming mamma; the whooping cough is coming. Men and Women. What is that makes all those men who as sociate habitually with women, superior to those who do not? What makes that woman who Is accus tomed to stand at base in tho sociefy of men, superior to her sex in general? Surely because they are in the habit of free, graceful. continued conversation with tho other sex. Women in this way, lose their frivolity, their faculties awaken, and their delicacies and peculiarities unfold all thoir ccauty, and captivatioain tho tpirlt of intellectual rivalrv: and the men lose their pedantic, rude, declamatory, and anil en manner. The coin of the understanding and the Bheart change? continually. Tho asperities are rubbed 11 the better materials are jHjlished and brightened, and their richness, like that of gold is wrought into finer workmanship by the fingers of women, than it ever could be by those of men. An exchango wonders why ladies seldom attempt to resist the laws of gravitation when they slip upon the same icy pavements where a man will struggle with himself ana the elements before giving up the ship. The exchange should remember that if it hadat been for women tho fall of man might never have been accomplished though there is so much of ftccomplLhment in it nowa
days.

Fill tbe shells and bako in a covered pan half an hour. Oranok Snow. Peel some sweet oranges slice them and lay them in a glass dish with alternate layers of grated cocoannt and sugar to taste, putting a layer of cocoanut on tho top and pouring over the whole a glass of lemon and orange juice mixed. Place on ice till needed and serve. Dripping. To form a good substitute for butter in making paltry the meat mutt be roasted with water in the pan to prevent the fat from burning; when tho meat is cooked, pour the dripping in a ba-in and let it stand till cold, pouring off the gravy at tho bottom, then place tho dripping in the oven to melt; and the next day it will be quite ffi for use, and will make excellent short pastry. Monday's Pudding. Cut the remains of a good cold plum pudding into finger piece, soak them in a little brandy and lay them cross-bnrred in a mold until full. Make a custard with a pint of milk and five ggs, flavoring with nutmeg or lemon rind; fill. up tho mold with it, tie it down with a cloth and boil or steam it for an hour Servo with a little of the custard poured over, to which has been added a tablespoonrul of brandy. Olives of Calves' II k ad. Parboil the half of a calfe head with the tongue and brains, and cut thin even slices from the thickest part of the head, and length way slices from the tongue. Make a stuffing of minced ham, savory herbs and pepper and salt. Eruah the slices with the ieaten yolk of an egg, and spread your stuffing equally over them. Roll them firmly into abape, and tie them securely with twine. Lay the olives as clwely together as possible in a t ewpan which will jut hold them, a id stew hem very slowly for an hour and a-half with sufficient good stock t nearly cover them. When done, arrange them neatly on a dish with brown mushroom sauce. Brown Ragout or Vkal. Take two pounds of the brea? out i; into rather sma.l pieces, about tbe size of an eg'', roll them well in fl ur, put some fat in tho frying pan, fry thn meat until a nice brown, tnko it out, then fry four onion?, two turnips cut in large die, and one carrot the saiae; wbeD brown take them out, put the veal and vegetables into the pan. season with two te.poonfuls of salt and one of pepper, add a pint of water, put into tbe oven for one hour, fkiui the fat, shake the pan and serve. A fow nerrs and a little nam or ta.eon are an improvement. Beef, mutton, htmb and pork may be done the sam'j way. A teaspoonful of sugar is an improvement.

The body of a colofsal rhinoceros, with unbroken skin, covered with long hair, hat been found in the Werchojanski District of Mberia, on the bank of a tributary of the River Jana. it is recommended by Dr. F. Von Heyden that salicylic ucid bo applied in dilute solution to woolen yarns, and bo mixeJ with sizes in order to prevent mildew, unpleasant smells, etc. Five grammes of tho salicylic are sufficient for a litre of size. In a recent published article by Profea.or S. A. Forbes on tbe food of fishes the results of the examination of the contents, etc., of the stomachs of darters, perches, basx, and other fish aro given, and the observation load the author to the following belief: "A fish makes scarcely more than a mechanical selection from tho articles of food accessible to it, taking almost indifferently whatever edible thing the water contains, which its habitual range and its peculiar alimentary apparatus enable it to appropriate, and eating of these in about the ratio ot the relative abundance and the ca;e with which they can be appropriated at any timo and place. If this is so, knowing tho structure of a fih and the contents of a body of water, we shall bo able to tell a priori what the iUh will eat if placed therein." In a paper on tho conservation of grain in closed reservoirs, by M. Müntz, read a short timo ago before tho French Academy of Science, stress was laid on the part played by tho presence of carbonic acid. With renewal of the air he found about ten times more of the acid than when the vessel was kept closed. Tho volumo of c-trbonio acid found in contact with air is always less than that of the oxygen absorbed. The oxygen is mostly fixed by fatty matters. Too dry grain, iiot giving much of an asphyxiating atmosphere, is less liable to the ravages of insects. The proportiorLof carbonic acid in creases rapidly with tho degree of moisture. As the temperatjre is raised there is physio logical combustion to about o0 Centigrade, thereafter chemical. Sulphide of carbon and ihe like diminish but do not stop the formation of carbonic acid. Oarrlebt la the Pulpit. Learning that President-elect Garfield wai at one time pastor of the Diaciple Church in Aurora, O., and, m fact, the only one with which be was thus connected, a writer of the Cleveland Herald called upon Hon. C. R. Harmon, one of General daiiield s earliest and most influential friends, and brought up the subject by requesting the narration or any facts "that he might choose to make public, "Yes, General Garfield preached hereto the Disciple Church in 157-58, I think. He was elected to the State Senate while preaching here. Garfield, when a boy, lived in town at diiTerent times, and in haying time was a very desirable hand, butaftcr he began to go to school he was Iomi sight of, and when he came to the froht at Hiram College this brought up the matter afresh: and the Church here being rather small, and Garlield being somewhat at leisura on Sundays, it was fixed up for him to come here and preach every two weeks." "It has been denied, has it not, that Garfield was ever a reverend ?" "Yes. That arises from the fact that the Disciple Church doen not require a 'license' of their teachers, so that any member may conduct public services. 1 do not think that he ever was a preacher in the full meaning of the word." "Will you relate some of the circumstances of his preaching here ?" '0h, he used to come over, usually Saturday morninßs, and spend the day hunting. His temierament was one that could not stand the close confinement of the schoolroom, and these Saturdays were of great pleasure to him. He was a splendid shot, and he was very successful in securing game. He would tire out all the rest of the party in trying to keep np with him. In the evening he liked to talk and discuss the news of the day, and as it was the time of the rapid ascendancy of the Republican party, he was a close student of the tactics of the great leaders." "He wai an unusually wll-informed young man. was he not 7" "Very. He could talk upon any subject, and he never seemed satisfied until he had got the bottom of it. Sometimes we would talk all night. In the morning after breakfast he would take his Bible and a few slips of note paper, and go into the parlor by himself and 'prepare something.' as he styled it. He could not have gone over the entire subject, bimply bringing out a point here and there as 'heads,' but a haif hour later from these points he would preach remarkable discourses, especially noticeable for their completeness and the clearness of their arguments, which must have been supplied from the speaker's stock of general information." "What was his style of pulpit oratory?" "Largely the same as now. The same eay grace, and voice that the rules of elocution have but slightly improved. He bad a style then of wearing his hair somewhat long, and being very bushy and inclined to fall over his face, he became very dextrous in combing the heavy tawny locks back with his fingers that made a somewhat original gesture to replace it" A Dangeroun Package In the Mail. Washington Republican. Recently, while a clerk in the city Postoffice wes handling a package which came in the mail, it accidentally fell to the Hour, an explosion followed, ami the package wan soon in a blaze. The ilames were extinguished before any damage was done. At first it was thought the package contained some infernal machine, but an examination showed that its contents were some matches of a new kind, together with a quantity of chemicals with which the matched are prepared. . The package was addressed to Alfred Shucking, the German Coiisul, by some scientist in Germany, and had, consequently, lr.p.de a passage scrosi the sea. Had the explosion o curr-d in t'.ie hold of the vessel in which the rami was brought over the rere'ilts would probably have b en very disastrous, if they did not aM another to the long liat of vo.-s-l! which have disappeared and never been heard from. . Aclergvman pa&t middle ae, after having nnited a lovirg couple. in the holy bonds of matrimony, wi asked by some present at the marriage feast how be, a bachelor, could consistently engage in such c-remonies. The good man's answer was significant: "In a man's life there are two period when he is likely. to marry one whc i he is young and has v.o Kcnse, the other when he'is old and lost his seme. Ho was glad to inform them that he had passed one, and had not yet reached the other."
PARLIAMENTARY LAW. Sharp Criticism of the Speaker of the lloaae of Common by Ks -Speakers of the lloua ot lteprasentatlvoa lluki atl Colfax. IN'ew York Herald, Feb. 9. The recent action of the Speaker of ths House of Commons in shutting off debate on the Irish question is freely and fully commented upon by some of our moat cm incnt Americun parliamentarians in the letters and interviews which follow. Mr. Colfax, who was Shaker of the House of Representatives. and as Vice

It was an extreme and unprecedented measure, but there was practically no choice between it adoption and Parliamentary chaos. Mr. John M. Barclay, whose views are also given, is a ingu authority uin questions of this char acter, tie was lor many years the Journal Clerk of tho House of Representatives and is the author of the volume known as "Rar. clay's Digest," which was the accepted parliamentary manual of the House of Repre- . .. i . i , . , . , reiuauves until nie i'eniocrats Obtained control of that branch of Congress.

J. '. Kobmky. rhiludelphia, February 7, lssi. r m San Francisco Chronicle. Mrs. Foong Sam Toy was baptized and embraced the Christian fait' yesterday after the morning sermon in the First Haptist Church, the ceremony being ierfornied by Itev. J. It. Hartwell, of the Chinese Baptist Mission, on Washington street, above Kearney. The event may be considered a notable one, for as far as ascertained Mrs. Sam Toy is the first Chinese woman who has embraced the Haptist faith in the State of California, the only other known instance on the coast being that of a Chinese woman in Oregon. Mrs. Foong Sam Toy is aged twenty-one, and is now the lawful wedded wife of Sam Toy, u young Chinaman who has been distinguished as a regular and sincere attendant of the Mission. The history of the female convert may be epitomized "in a fewwords. Sister Koong was a chubby-faced little thing, and so young that she had not yet learned to eat her rice with chop sticks when her parents in China passed away to another world. The little orphan was taken in hand by some old and heartless hag, who clunu to the little thing until the became of marketable value, when she was sold into bondage, and, like anypieceof merchandise, bundled off to this country. She lived in a den in one of the alleys in the Chinese quarter, surrounded by vice and immorality, until snatched from her miserable life by the police. Sister Foong was then yet of tender ace, and was placed in one of the orphan Asylums, where she has been for two or three years. In tbe Institution she made the acquaintance of another little Chinese girl, whose career had been mapped out by an American family living at the Potrero. The attention of these good people was brought to Sister Foong by the newly-found companion, and they took her as a protege. The young woman was sent to the Minion School, and, being an apt and willing girl, advanced in her studies so rapidly that she can read and write nicely and speak English fairly. She is a regular attendant at the school on Washington street, where circumstances have put her in contact with iNini loy. a bright and intelligent Chinese lxiy. They sang from the same hymn-book, learned the letters of the alphabet and the rudiments of spelling out ot tne same illustrated primer, and last October resolved to go through life together over the Fame rond, a proposition gladly assented to by all her guardians, whose crowning effort was achieved yesterday when their ward embraced the faith. A writer on dogs says that every person given to sedentary pursuits ought to keep a dog, us the necessity of giving exercise to the dog will exercise the man. During the summer and fall month", however, it would be cheaper to interview a cross dog that loaf" in an old farmer's orchard. The man would get nil the exercise he needed without receiving the curses of his next-door friend. Norristown Herald.
