To-nighS-I ixleC an antiquarlanat the VanSiyke house in the person of Mrs. Wines, who cajne to this State with her husband and children in 1818, reaching the spot where this town now stands, on the 15th of October, in that year. Green county was qot a county then, but the country wafe. a wilderness, Louisville and Vincennes being the nearest towns oi any iiee. Washington, in Davles county, thirty-five mile* away, was a posto'&ce, where the moiitbly mail came irregularly,. I found Mrs. Wines in" good health and perfect possession of all hor physical and intellectual faculties. ,Sbe is ninety-four, and reads without the aid of spectacles. 1 asked her to give me a few incidents of her early experience here. 'CJh! it is BO far away that it seems like a dream, contrasted with now,' she said. 'We left Schenectady.on the 3rd of October, 1818, and were six weeks to a day on the road. We came by Louisville and Washington. When we reached Washington, 30 miles below here, we laid in a supply of flour at the mill, fur we did not know when we could get more. From there to this place we travelled by tbe compass, for there was not even a wagon trail that we could follow. The woods were then comparatively free from the undergrowth which has since sprung up. When we reacted our camping place here we found that our flour hail been made of "sick wheat," and was unfit for use. We had some corn, and my husband felled a tree, aud after burning a bole in the top qf a Bluinp, pounded corn to meal to make bread. We procured our meat in the woods. 'My husband had purchased 1.000 acres of land at the first sale at Vincennes, and upon it we were to start our home. In two weeks we had our cabin bullion the east side of White river, and our first and only neighbor had bis built on the west side and about a mile from us. He bad lived in the West two or three VMHIU before us, and was accustomed to backwoods life. After my husband and Mr. Van Verst had completed the houee tbey concluded to return to Washington and get another supply of flbur and meal. As tbe mill was run by hor»e power the chances were that tbey might have to wait for several days, therofore tbey pounded corn oil the stutnp until they thought tbey bad enough menl, ana then went into the woods and killed about 100 squirrels, which we salted down. •Having made all necessary preparations, my husband left me to be absent A week. Wo had uo window to our house, and tbe door was made of a blanket which was hung over the doorxvny. We had a large fireplace made of sticks, in which afire was always kept burulug. My babu was then three months old. You see we could not step over to a neighbor's and borrow then, bocause we had no neighbors, and as wlntor h«d oome I conlti not loavo my babe. All we bad to keep house witb was a Rtnall provision chest, a bell metal teakettle, sugar bowl, pewter platos and some cups and saucers. When we moved into our cabin we had no beds, and as my son, then four years old, had the whooping cough, 1 felt that it would be dangerous to place him ou the puncheon floor, so 1 bad my husband make a hammock by suspending a quilt from the rafters by a b«d cord. We made a table out ot a walnut slab, aDd then threo sto^ls, fttid our housekeeping outfit was-cohipleted. Well, as I told you, my husbauu started to mill and expeoted to be absent a week. I bad a brother living at Vincennes who bad sent us word that he would pay us a visit, and 1 was expecting him. The second night after my husband left I heard some hallooing down In tbe bottoms, and I felt certain that it was my brother who had lost bin way in tbe darkuess. I immediately answered the cry, and it was promptly responded to, and continued to approach. I set a candle on a stump in the yard, and leaving my little boy sitting in the door, advanced toward the wood, calling to the person to oome to the light,. •You cannot Imagine my fright at hearing.® yell between me and the bouse and on' looking around discovered a large panther between the light and my boy. I gave a scream and picked up the candle and dashed Into tbe house and lowered the quilt. In a little while Mr. Carleton, who had followed the beast, rode up, and wheu he had sueoeeded in convincing me tbat he was not a panther, advised mo not' to veuture out alter dark, aud then rodo away. I can't tell you how long that night was, or the nights following until vtuy husband's return. 'The next spring we made troughs, and, with a three-quarter augur, tapped the sugnr trees, aud before tbe season was over I had made enough sugar and molnssrs to last us a year. I had to bake nty bread at a neighbor's, and usually went over at ulaht, but never dared to go alone unless 1 carried a firebrand in my band. Many a time I have seen the flashing eye* ot a panther, but tbey never dareu attack me on account ot the fire. 'When the neighbors went a visiting In those days they took their teams and guns with them, and stayed a week, the men bunting, the women quilting and helping each other at their domestic duties. 'I remember how frightened I was about the Indians. My husband was ahscut at Yioctntics when aboiA700 oi them, who were on a huuting axpedilion, catnpod on our jaud, aud retoalued a couple of weeks. I had an eight da dockland tbegr iwed to coma in crowJ to look at it. The great nasty brutee knew 1 was afraid of them, and they onjoyed themselves bv pointing their guns at me and then laughing. I took my children and hid iu the corn until the children cried, and then went back to the house. Finally tbey went away ana did not Rioleat me again. •How did 1 make bVitterf Oh, easy enough. I put the milk in a gallon jug and shook it until it was, churned. *lhe trouble aom*Mme« was in getting tbe butter out of the jug. 'Finally this county was organised and the county teat laid oat at Burlington. three mites from here. After two cabins had been built it waa called a town. 1 remember that Mr. Carleton went one day to see one ot the men who lived there, and his wife said that he had gone to the country on business. CbutHstderioc that five steps from the door would nave taken him into the woods, made this reply rather laughable. 'I have frequently gone to mill alone, when 1 had to swim the horses scross the river, the boat net being Urge enough to carry tti&ik, 1 havo often seen tbe women walk tlx© mllnos visit, and csurfjf a babe. Tbey would set tbe child straddle oT ooe qf t^jolr hips,

Miss Wise's Account df Her LantAscension at SL Zvuis. ,,

St. Louis Post.

Miss Lizzie Ihling Wise, the wellknown lady aeronaut and, niece of Prof. Wise, made a balloon ascension yesterday Irom Bodemann's grove, in the presence era large humb"Jr~tfspectators: The day was lovely, and under the favorable conditions the trip was in every way a success. An Evening Post reporter "met Miss Wise this morning, and to him she gave in her own language tbe following account of her adventure: I made my twenty-first aerial voyage yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, sharp time (I am always punctual) from Bodemann's Garden. From the nature of tbe ground my uncle. Prof. Jno. Wise, sent me up with an impetus sufficient to skip all surrounding obstructions. It was a glorious start and a glorious sight. I rose rapidly to a height of saven thousand feet, aneroid barometer measure. At tbat altitude tbe great western metropolis shrank into village dimensions, while at tbe same time tbe exhilarating atmosphere moved my blood into activity and expanded my thinking faculties to make me feel like a queen-bee hovering over a vast hive —indeed the sonorous hum tbat came up to me in waves of sound made me think that tbe world below was really a hive, if not of bees, certainly of buzzing men, women and children. Oh! how I wished I could stay up there always—I prayed to the great Qod in devout thankfulness for being so good to me as to lift me up so high above tbe dust and toil of earth below. It always makes me pray when I get up where deep solitude surrounds me and microscopic life swarms and buzzes below me. Hut I bad another duty imposing. What of tbe air!The sunbeams stung me like needles I can only describe tbe sensation to a pleasant pain, if there is such a thing. My thermometer ranged §5 at start at 7,000 feet it marked 70. What appeared strange to me was the frigid coldness penetrating the bottom of my car. At tbat altitude in a cloudless sky it appears tbat in shadow it is extremely cold, while under the sun rays it is extremely warm. As tbe balloott turned round and round one side of me was warm and tbe other cold, and thus the law of compensation wtfe truly exemplified in fact* But I am rilaking my narrative too long for a short trip. The Amszon bad been smoking its pipe for half an h.our,l. 0M tLe expanded gas was finding its way from the mouth of the balloon in white vapor, and gravity was gaining on levity. The Amazon began to slide down an inclined plane into a lovely esplanade of St. Louis as it were, but somehow or other the great city was shading off from its moorings, and Instead of its being close by it went northeastward nine miles, and left me in a beautiful, novel surrounding near the Gravois road. On my descent every point of the compass was"represented witb a human motion to a common canter, and in a few moments was surrounded by a host of generous frieuds. They took hold of my cable tow, and moored me over to the Gravois road, where 1 bundled up my aerial traps, and soon found my way back to Bodeynann's Garden. My way back I tolledps stupidly as my way out was gloriously.

1. THE FOX OIRL8. From the New York Times. So very little baa been beard recently of tbe Fox girls, as they used to be called 29 years ago, when the Rochester knocklngs attracted so much attention, tbat many persons suppose tbey bave gone to the spirit land from which they claimed to receive inutimerable communications. Tbey have not, however. Tbey are in good health are said to have as firm faith in Spiritualism, and to be as extraordinary mediums as ever, though but one of them, we believe, now gives public exhibition of her powers. This is tbe youngest of the three sisters, Margaret Fox, or Margaret Fox Kane (she was reported to have been married to Dr. &tne, the Arctic explorer, some lime before bis death, though bis relatives vehemently denied the marriage), who Is reported to be holding seances iti London. The second sister, Catharine, or Kate, is living in France, tbe wife of a Frenchman, possessed, we think, of a title. The third sister, Leah, is Mrs. Underbill, and a resident of this city. It is remarkable how Spiritualism has spread over civilization in 30 ears, and what a hold it has taken upon the minds of thousands of intelligent, thoughtful people on both sides of tbe sea. Tbe Fox girls wore pioneers in the movement, originators of the new philosophy, as it has been named. The rise of spirit-rapping waa, according to the believers in it, as follows: In 1847 Miohael Week man of tte village' of Hydesvillo. Wayne, county, this state, was surprised by knocklngs upon tbe door of his bouse, which he could not possibly explain. They so troubled him tbat he moved out, aud John D. Fox and bis family, entirely honest and respectable folks, moved in. The knockings continued—they were louder and more frequent than before. The Foxes tried every way to unravel the mvstery, but all to no purpose. Finally Kate Fox, then only 9, observed tbat such sounds as she made were exactly imitated, and this led to communications from the invisible source that were quiet astounding to the family. Kite and her sister Margaret, especially the former, seemed to act very sympathetlcnllv on tbe "spirits," who or which grew to be so annoying that Kate went to Rochester to get rid -of them. The rapplngs followed her, and ao much curiosity was felt In tbe matter that a lecture waa given (Nov. 14, 1S4S,) in Corinthian hall, slitting the alleged facts. This was the first Introdaction of Spiritualism to tbe public, and It* phenomena bav» excited more or leas attention since, the world over.

jSAca tZMqirls TRADES. Detroit News. Assuming then that it should become a port of every girl's education to flearn some trade by which in an emergency she oould sqppbrt hferself, and perhaps others dependent on her, let nsrun over

something about, bit* too often now-o* days that something is a very trifling quantity.™"Tescmngrequires long preparation and considerable natural adaptation. Cookiiig, as we have before suggested, is an art greatly neglected in this country and one which would seem to promise well to those, who should mjtke tbeuiselvea experts,in it. Telegraphy is easifv learned so is type setting, ahdbotb are jwrhoanentbuaiioesiefi always furnishing a large amount of employment. Painting on china, engraving and carving in wood are all occupations in which women would be likely to excel and in which fair remuneration could be earned. Bookkeeping too is a profession easily learned and for proficients in which there is always a demand. Now we propose here simply throwing out the bint that as a rule our daughters be taught some such tradeand be thus thoroughly qualified to meet misfortune should tbey ever be overtaken by it.

"jtifecttfy NO TIME. •I have no time to devote to my children,' says the business man witji a sigh for he really feels the privation of their society keenly. But the excuse is an insufficient one he should make time—let other things go for no duty is more important than tbat ho owes his offspring. Parents should never fail to give the child such sympathy in its little matters of life as will produce in its confiding mind tbat trust and faith which is a necessary element in parental influence. Filial affection is a great safeguard against evil influences, as well as a great civilizer to its possessor. Do not forget, too, tbat tbe childish mind in process of development, absolutely needs tbe cheerful and happy influences which are prodnced by amusements, as ture as tbe plant needs sun and light for its proper growth. And who can be better persons to afford recreation than both parents Too frequently does the stately father, filled with the cares and responsibilities of life, forget tbat his little one is yearning for tbat familiar love "which induces a game or a romp between them. The father's entrance after the day's labor should be a cause for rejoicing, and the signal for a merry game which would*benefit him as mucl\ as the little ones.

MR. WEGQ'SSTRATEGY* From the Boston Herald. Kearney, when asked what the "issues" are, declines to tell. He reminds us of Silas Wegg, when Mr. Boffin suddenly asked him the difference between the Roman empire and tbe Russian empire. Wegg was cornered, but cleared himself by deolaring tbat he oould not be induced to explain in the presence of Mrs. Boffin, and Boffin blushed with tbe thought tbat be had asked an improper questlou. _________

WHERE A NAME WAS USEFUL. Raleigh Observer. It was on the train, and he was trying to read. There was a crowd .in tbe cars, and amoDgst others a lady with a very sprightly little girl that had bine eyes, a head of glistening gold, and ad inquisitive tongue. She piled him with question* ana toyed with his watch chain. The mother, who was a widow, fairly beamed upon him. He, nervously to the mother: 'What do you call yonr little darling?' Widow, smiling: 'Ethel.' He: 'Call her then.' Indignation. Beading resumed.

A CLOSE QUESTION OF LA W. A nice question of law has been raised by the aimultaneoas drowning of Mr. Sutton and his wife at Battle Creek, Michigan. He had an insurance on bis life in favor of his wife. As she died at the same time he did, and as they had no children, the point has been raised as to whose relatives—bis or hers—the money goes. It is argued that in cases of this

Kind,

woman being tb« weaker

of the two sexes, would expire first, conMquently the money woularevert to his relatives. ..
