Girl.
Washington Cor., Chicago Tribune
She waia little pale-faced girl, hump
backed, thin, shrinkirig,and with that
look of patience on her face that be
longs to the deformed. Sbt was so
thin and fragile that one would hardly
credit her with strength to go about.
But in all sorts of weather she went
bravely upon her small black crutches,
hunting Washington 'over for a place
wnere her thin little Hands could find
something to do. She came here from Brooklyn with letters from people who had been interested in her forlorn con
dition. She was twenty yeai s old, an
orpnan, wnnout a relative or near
friend in all the world. In Washing
ton she met with no encouragemen
No one had even a kind word for the
little, humpbacked woman, wh o had
no friends.Day by day she haunted the
ante-rooms of officials, where she was
jostled by politicians and place-seekers until anyone less patient than she
would have given up entirely. Finally
when her resources were nearly all gone, some one told her that there was
one man in w asm ng ton wno was a
. friend of the friendless, a man with a heart so large and tender tat 'it could
not listen to the simplest story of pain
and suffering without tears of sympa-
tny. Tins man, uoionei Kobert G. Ingersoll, whose sole happiness consists in making others happy, is besieged night and day by crowds of unhappy
people. Although lie is regarded by
many pious people as an enemy to mankind, yet there is not one of them who
each day scatter so much kindness and goodness in the path of his fellow-
creatures ' To him the patieni-faeed
cripple went, and at once found that
there was one man m the city of
Washington who does not discriminate between his callers. With him the
lame, halt, and blind find as much favor, if not more than the rich and
powerful. The little cripple told him
her story briefly and simply. She was alone in the world. She wanted work. She was able to do much in spite of her deformity. All that she wanted was one chance to show wh it she could do. , tlWhat have you done already?" was asked. - "I have called to see the President." "Did you bee him ?" "No." "Why not?" ..... "Some way I never managed to get in. I would go there and give my letter to the messenger and he would say, 'The President is busy now, you must wait.' Then I would wait for hours, and then the messenger would sayThe hour for the President's reception of callers is at an end. Gome again tomorrow at 10.' " Aad you wen again ?" . ' "Yes. I was always there as the clock struck? but someway I could never get thereto early but that others would be ahead of tme. I have, gone up there for ' many days, but I never ,got any further than on the first day." "Weil, I will, see what I can do'for you.". . ... ..... ..
He then took her address.
later, before he could do
nelp ner, lie was omiareg- to go away for a week or two. He called upon the little cripple! and asked her bluntly how much money ' she had. She told him. The amount was, onljv enough to last her two or three days longer. The generous public man said : ."Well, I guess I will nave to see you through n this matter." So he dove down in his pocket and gave her-enough money to last her until he returned. Then he gave her a letter to the- President. With that she obtained an interview with him. It did not appear to be satisfactory, however, for the next day she appeared again at Colonel Ingersoii's. "Well?" said he. President was very kind to me," said the cripple, "but he would not give me a note t& any of the Department chiefs, as I wanted him to aoi. He said that he had made a rule to not ask persoi-'aliy any appointment in the Departments.5 VWll." said the OoloaeL "you get ready and go up with me to-morrow, and I will tal to the President for yOU," ; .' ..... The next day Colonel Ingersoll . walked M to the , President unannounced, as i3 his privilege. Said he: "Mr. President, theie is a little humpbacked .woman, outside I want you to see." ' u "But, niy dear Bab," said the President, "there are Senators and members here in this room waiting to see me." "" " ' "list them wait. You !iave that class here every, day. Iiet them -co me again If need be.'- I want 1 to - see my -little hump-back friend." "But what can I do for Her? I can't write her a letter, as it , is against my rulea." , : . "iCYou can make this exception to your rule. You can say : I will write no letters except for orphan hump"backed women with no relatives or frienda.7 To do such a deed ". of kindness a3 this ts worth all there is in bein e Resident.

ous-hke fluid, which had exuded from
the pox. It.;stained the napkin I had applied to wipe it off. It seemed as if
each had given up its contents and wilted down to a level with the surface. Tho same had taken place with those upon my face. My heard was glued, together with the same kind of fluid. Those upon my neck had not burst, but had shrunk away and diminished in size considerably. . I laid down ami slept two hours comfortably. I awoke, I presume, from cold, although I had plenty of cover over me, and the tire was stiH burning in the grate. I felt so well p'eased that I took a little more lemon juice. I kept my pulse at from
sixty to sixty-seven for thirty-six
hours, when all eruptions and elevations had disappeared from my skin.
I then, bid good-by to lemon-juice and

James Moore, Surgeon, M. D. Ironton, Adril 25, 1881. "Grath" on Beecher Looking at him as an in tellectual

I was taken sick April 14 with what I suppose! was a severe cold, having had my hair shingled the day previous. Friday, 15th, I was quite feverish, with severe pain in head and1 back. Saturday, 16th, I was no better. Sunday, fever somewhat reduced, I presume by the aid of aconite, which had been administered to me by. Drs Morris and Dunn ; eruption very indisririct underneath the skin. Monday morning, 18tn, eruption unmistakably that of am ail-pox Tuesday morning, eruption very abundant, crop increasing rapidly in size and number. Wednesay morning, a very dense crop all over the face, forehead, scalp of head, neck, and soles of fet. Upon the arms, hands, legs and bodv they were pretty evenly distributed, but nJt so closely packed as: upou the' above mentioned parts. By evening I was 6UfTring intensly from those upon the scalp. By half past 10 o'cloek the pain
was almost intolerable. My nurse had retired aad was sound asleep in feed behind be. My feet : were so tender that J dare not let them touefct the footboard of the bed My head I could nit suffer to lie upon the pillow. I lay, raised up, on my elbow, my neck resting upon my hand. I had by this time become so nervous, I dare not rfhut my eyes frosa fear of seeing unpleasant visions. Pulse about ninety, I had upou the table at the bedside a pitcher of water and a drinking glass: a box of seidlitz powders and one ounce of chlorate of potash in crystals.
I had also at my bedside a paper of
lemons and also one of oranges. These were all the agents within ray reach. I recollected that lemon juice In sufficient quan tity was a sedative and would lower the heart's action, and by so doing might relieve me of those uupleasantTvisionst I. therefore squeezed
all the juice I possibly could out of the
lemons into the glass, to which I add-

, - .They Kept the Secret. A oman in fact three women can keep a secret. Let the following story satisfy the incredulous:' On one of the excursions which lefc Staunton in October, 1876, for the Centennial were two passengers, one a young Jady Gf Rockbridge, whose bright face as well as her bright mind had made her as popular in Staunton society as at homeland another young gentleman of Staunton, temporarily residing in Rockbridge, who contemplated shortly removing to the far West. The y were devoted lovers, and, as the sequel will show, the gentleman took such a precaution against the lady changing her mind during his expected absence as was insurmou table. Stopping in Baltimore a few hours the lady and gentleman, after the latter had procured a license, repaired to the residence of Rev. Mr. Murkland, the famous Presbyterian minister (the lad y being a Presbyterian, and were united in wedlock. They then returned to their respective homes and there the secret was confided to two of the groom's tarniiy and a relative in , Richmond, the, lady making a confidant of one of her family aud a devotedpmarried lady friend. The groom went West to make his fortune, and' will, in a few days return to claim his wife, who has all along retained har maiden name. Though the marriage took palee nearly five years ago, and seven persons knew it, not a word has leaked out about it until within the last week, a fact that entirely disposes of the assertion that

arrow-head and a stone aboiit three inches long and one and a half iuches wide, and nearly half an inch thick, with a hole bored through the center, were also found with the same skeleton. There are evidences of lire in the trenches,' and two small pieces of what has evidently been a human skull burned to a-substanee resembling charcoal have been found. It seems that cramation .. was practiced long ago. Who were these people? The arrowheaded and peculiar shaped stone were common among the Indians, and are frequently found in Indian graves; but the heads of these skeletons are remarkable from the contrast between them and those of the 'Indian or whites, or indeed of any knovn race, A skull of an old man shows some little evidence of intellectual powers, the forehead rising nearly one-half inch
above the eyebrows, but is very nar- i

A peculiar tJim about the piece or
mica is that it appears to have been sec in an iron fram?. as the entire circum
ference is covered with a thick coat of
iron-rust. Professor More made an
analysis of the substance, ir order to
be certain in regard to it, and it is unmistakably iron. Now, the Indians
used hut little iron, and it ha3 never
been thoushr. we believe, tbat the
Mound-builders, the race these people
belonged to without doubt, ever used it. It is, of course, impossible to obtain with certainty as to tins mattr, as .iron, in the course of time, is entirely eaten . up with rust and disappears as a substance, while copper, bronze and stone withstand the attack of time and the ravages of the elements. Another lemarkable thing about the skulls of these skeletons is their wonderful thickness. The adult skulls are all of them at least one-fourth of an inch in thickness, some of them more than that. They were evidently a hardheaded race. Owing to their great age, it has been found impossible, as yet, to get a, complete leg or arm bone, so as. to make an estimate as the. height or siy.p nf the nennle when liviuff: but
a thigh bone has been got out that shows that the owner of it was at least six feet high ; how much over that he wa3, is impossible to tell. These people unquestionably belonged to a race that existed here before the Indians. What a strange story they tell could they come back to life. Whether their being buried where they were was the result of a bloody battle or a fatal epidemic, among them, it is, of course,
impossible to say. They were probably
all buried at nearly the same time, and. it was probably, caused by one or the other. The place where they were buried was marked by three small mounds standing close together, and for years the project has been frequently discussed of digging into them and investigating their contents.

Death
Prom Being Shot From a
Cannon. New York special. .., . : .Elizabeth Power, known to circusgoers as Elizabeth Davene, died in t he New York Hospital early this morning. She was twenty-one years old. On the afternoon of Tuesday, May 3, in Wilkesbarre, Pa. , in the course of a performance in the Barnum circus, she was shot from a cannon. She turned
in the air as she had been accustomed
to do in this feat, but for v some
she lell upon the netting in such
to wrench her neck, She straighte
out upon the netting, and asked in a low voice for assistanc, saying, lI can not move cither hand or .."foot." She was assisted to her dressing room, and though a physician discovered that she was paralyzed in all her limbs, it was expected that she would recover. . The spine was not fractured, but it was supposed by the physicians tbat a pressure was exerted upon , the spinal marrow hemorrage. The effect of this would' be to cause paralysis of the limbs. Subsequently, rheumatism set in. Miss Power was one of the French Davene Troupe of gymnasts, consisting of Mr. Davene, bis wife, his daughter and hersel f. She was Mrs. Dave ue's sister. They were organized originally, it issaid, in London, but they have visited nearly every part of the world. In this' city they have played in Ni bin's Garden, at Tony Pastor's Theater aud elsewhere. Miss Power is spoken of in very higti praise by tho members of Barn urn's circus. She will be buried in Greenwood.
their victory over Mr, Yeriington and the Carson and Colorado Eailroad, It
appears that, when the Railroad Company treated for the right of way through the reservation, the Indians agreed to receive in full pay S700 and the right to ship free-over vhe road forever any fish or other product which they might wish to bring to market between Hawthorne and the Mound House. Walker Lake is swarming With flue trout, bin tho Indians didn't find the trade very profitable when the item of transportation began . to be figured on. The catch was, therefore, limited by the slim facilities for finding a market before the fish spoiled. When the new road reaches Walker Lake tne Indiana will be the bosses of the lish trade., and Bay ton will be the fish mart of the State. The Indians say that if Mr. Yerington had known how many fish they could catch; in a day he would never have entered into such a compact. The Indians laid their wires for this thing long ago, and when Mr. Yerl in gton visited Walker Lake they put up a job on him. They invited him to spend a day fishing, which he did, and they gave him a bait which fish absolute avoid. Several of the bucks also fished with him, some using no bait at all. The result of tho day's toil Was a small whiteflsh and a couple of. half-pound trout. The savages pretended that the day's sport had been very fine, and got up a big dance iu honor of the big catch, remarking tbat the fishing" had never been so good for many years. In an unguarded moment he signed his fieri contract,. and now they say .that they will be able to keep the C. and C. curs loaded down with nothing but fish all summer long; but not wishing to be too hard on the road will allow it to carry pay freight and passengers during the winter months.

While so engaged on Tuesday, they found four human skeletons that had evidently been buried in a trench, their bodies in a recumbent attitude, and after they had been covered with about one foot of dirt, another body had been buried on top of them in a sitting posture. A short time after, another trench was uu covered in which thirteen bodies had been interred, they having evidently been laid in regularly. They were of all ages and of both sexes. On .

A In can Exploration. .
Pall Mall Gazette.
The Austrians seem determined to
outdo by one grand effort all other Na
tions in the matter of African explora
tion. Dr. Holub, who recently return
ed fro in several years' work on the Zambesi. roes out in two months to
the Cape, from which he proposes to make his way straight northward to the mouth of the Nile. Dr. Holub has been ceaselessly busy siuce. his return, going from one city to another exhibiting his collections, giving lectures, and rousing a practical interest; in his forth coming expedition. While he will give promiueuce to scientific exploration, he will also attend to the interests of trade, especially with refeienee to his own country. An Austro-Hun-garian Society has been formed, to which he will send his collections, with detailed instructions. The principal commercial houses which compose this Society intend to give she Doctor a varied stock of goods to hike with him, in order to enable him to pay his way ; through the continent" and obtain abundant specimens of its products to send home. One house has given him glass ornaments, another cloths, others chemical product?, cottons, shoes, buttons, prints, paper, wine, furniture, cravats, hats, perfumeries, oearinos, &c. aud, last of all, Anton Dreher has given him a supply of beer. How all this formidable stock is to be conveyed across Africa we are not told. The beer especially puzzles us. Of course, it is expected that the Cental Africans will ultimately become good customers to the Austriau manufacturers of shoes, hats and furniture, though we suspect they will prefer their native pombe to Dreber's beer. All tho same, we are sure that Dr. Holub, if he keeps his health, will be able to render a good account of his journey and justify the liberality of the Austrian manufacturers.

Wool in Indiana. A New Albany correspondent has been at some trouble to gather the wool statistics of southern Indiana. His investigations have extended over the counties of S?ott, Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Washington, Orange, Pike, Lawrence, Martii i , Daviess, Du bois, Gibson, Knox, Posey, Vanderburg, Warrick, Spencer, Perry , and Crawford. In these nineteen counties there were in 1880, 232,634 head of sheep, and the wool clip of tha t year was, as nearly as could be ascertained, 637,592 pounds pretty nearly, three pounds to the head. It is safe to say; tb&t in 1881 there are more sheep in these counties than in 1880, for the farmers in Southern Indiana are paying much attention to wool growing, and both their flocks aud their breeds are being increased and improved. From the best information that can be obtained the wool clip of 1881 in these niueteen counties may be put down at an in crease of 100,000 pounds over that of 18S0, or 637,000 pounds. Tea in South.

The New England States were never more deeply in a state of suspense than
when waiting the result of General Gates campaign to prevent the inarch of Burgoyne's army. The following anecdote exhibits the1 deep anxiety
wnioii pervaded ail classes. The indecisive action at Hernia1 Heights but deepened the, suspense, and during the following days every clatter of hoofs upon the road was a startling found, for all hearts were awaiting fresh news. jOu an October Sabbath a large congregation filled that same Church in Sharon from which we saw. 400 men sent forth at the news from Lexington. The nastor.
Mr. Smith, had prepared a sermon to
cheer the hearts of hisipeopie and fill
them with fresh courage, lie announc
ed his text. "Watchma-n. what of the
night? The watchman said: The morning cometh." After recalling the
promises ol: God, he briefly reviewed
the situation, and then, looking away
from the dark prospect around them
to the light of God's love, he suddenly
lifted his face, shining Iwith a glorious, prophetic faith, and cried : '"We are on the point of hearing extraordinary
news oi victory. 1jo;i tne morning now cometh! I see itk beams already
gilding the mountain' tops, and you
shall soon behold its brightness burst

nil's boy got awful sleepy. I felt sorry
for the poor little devil, and was glad when we went iuto the ear for a nap.
Billy was very tractable, Cantril was
thirsty that night, and I put up a job
on. him. Going to-.. -the. water-tank, after gauging his drinks and the time
between them, 1 poured out some cot-
tot-oil and left it in' the cup. Then I
pre tended to take a hearty drink, and
made so much noise about gulping it
down that Cantril got awful thirsty. I
had no more than gained my seat till
he made. a dive for the tank, and with
out tilting the cup, tilled it and emptied H, To partially kill the stench of
the crotton I had put a dash of burn
ed liquid in it. If Cantrilgtasted any
thing wrong in tne water ne attributed
it to his sour stomach, and so said
nothing. It was not many minutes
until the Deputy Marshal felt a general
weakness about his oread . basket.
When Cantril left and slammed the

The pastor's eye's kindled! with triumph; the people looked at ojne another with speaking faces. Horse aud rider ap' proached, stopped at the church: yet not a person in the congregation stirred. A solemn awe rested on all. The next moment the foam bespattered horseman walked hurriedly up the aisle,and stretched out a slip of jpaper to the pul pit. The pastor's faqe blanched and his hand quivered with excitement as he stooped to take the (message. As he opened the paper he), looked like one struck dumb with sudden joy; then with choking voice anil streaming eyes he cried : "Burgoyne has surrendered!" The scene of confusion that followed the sobs of women and the prayers of men was as pure a service of praise as that sanctuary over witnessed. - i
Marry ing fqr Love. The man who marries for love has generally the vital I temperment is combative, sagacious,- and independent, and takes a general view of everything. A life of indojeuce and stagnation has no cbarms for one' whose blood is warm and whose hopes are high ; he likes to be ill the thickest of the tight, giving blows and taking them; watching for the turn of events with coolness and foresight; pleased at his own independence and struggles; eager to show tho world what he can achieve; and the contest rouses all the strength and manliness of his nature. He wins the respect of his fellows by his own worth. He often bring3 home pleasant surprises for his wife and children. You may Jreeognize him in trains loaded with parcels, which he good-naturedly carries with perfect unconcern of what others think a new bonnet, music, books', a set of" furs for his wife; while in another parcel the

Ami he met a man upon the corner of the street who was ot comely appearance, who said unto him: ..... .Behold there is ore in the north end ot great richness, and the value thereof is two hundred; now is the time to buy." The stranger was smooth of speech and Hezekia barkened unto him. .... Aud tbey drank together and made merry over the prospect, anu the stranger said : 'See that ye tell no man of this? for behold if ye do the hand of terror would be upon me and mine forever." Anil Hezekia swore an oath., I will tell no man, not even the wife of my bosom or the neighbors who till the fields hard by. . And when he had sworn the oath he went home and behold he proclaimed unto them. "Buy ye of the stocks of the north end and haste ye to gather them in, for the boom is at hand aud will come down upon us like a thief in the night.

The new fields that have been entered during the year are Maryland, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Wisconsin. Minnesota, Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Hew llexiso, Texas, and Inlian Territory. There has also been, in
mCiiiy instances, a great enlargement of the force of laborers in fluids previously occupied. All tlie work of the year has been pa-J for, and, over and above the investments made, a cash balance remains in tho treasury of S597.0R.

A Spanish lad sprang from the lamp-post against which he had been leaning and endeavored to prevent the accident, but the only assistance that he could render was to : lift the lady from the ground ana baar her to a neighboring house. Then, sighing for further sicht of the fair one, the youth resumed Iris dntv at the lamp-post. As for the young woman, she sustained an annoying injury. It was nothing less than the fracture of one of her front teeth. The delicate pearl that flashed through "lipff withhr whose rosy labyri ath when she. smiled the soul was lo3t,".was hopelessly crushed. Beauty in distress appealed to art; tho young woman went to the dentist, who prom
ised to search hierh and low for a pearl

til tne dentist saw $ youug Spaniard leaning ag ainst a lamp-post did he fid tiie coveted prize. The youth gladly sold one of his teetli for $100, offering
all his stock in trade at the same terms. The tootii was submitted to proper treatment, and the young horse-woman appeared at a ball the following evening apparently none the worst for the accident. But, with a woman's curiosity, she would have given her bead to know whence came the tooth. Time passed. The Spaniard made a fortunate purchase of , stock with his .i'100, aud not only began to patronize the tailor., but indulged in a bank account. Onev evening last week chance threw him into a Utt&t select party, where tho fair rider, happened to be present, sind he related his dental adventure When be smiled and pointed "o the vacant place in his mouth the young lady gave a little shriek.

3EIow Girls Are Made Straight. The Hindoo girls are graceful and exquisitely formed. From their earliest eliiidhocd they are accustomed to carry burdens on their heads. The water for family use is always .Drought by the giirls in earthen jars, carefully poised in this way. The exercise is said to strengthen the muscles of the back, while the chest is thrown forward! No crooked backs are. seen in Hindoostau. Dr. H. Ppry says that thi3 exercise of carryiug small vessels of water on the head might be ad

Gems by th3 Wayside. Men who complain of the miseries of this life are, for the most part, such as are uu willing to practice self-denial or submit to those rules of their animal and moral economy upon which salutary and uniform happiness is founded. He cannot be called an accomplished or a polite man in i company who is continually betraying a fear to offend or a desire to please though his behavior ought to be regulated internally by both these motives. The sweetest flowers are those which shed their odors in quiet nooks aud dingles; and the purest hearts are those whose deeds of love are done in solitude and secret. The self denial. which vice exacts is greater by far than that involved in virtuous eudeavor. God is too merciful to let us have a full view of our character or a panoramic prospect of our vices. The cultivation of the heart should ho like that of a garden, whejs we prune and weed before we begin to plant. He who dreads giving light to the people is lik a man who" builds a house without windows, for fdar of the lightning. The best thoughts are ever the swiftest winged; the duller lag behind. To abstain from a small thing is more difficult than) to undertake a grea t one. I The love of public opinion is .of ton mistaken for the j dictate of genuine bravery. The man of knowledge lives eternally after his death, while his members are reduced to dust beneath the tomb. Hut the ignorant man is dead, even while he walks upon the earth ; he is numbered among the living men, and
yet he existeth not. . v . Every moral sentiment, every intelligent action, is to me a hint, a prophetic star of spiritual power to be expanded forever, just as a faint ray from a distant sign is significant of ui? imaginable splendor. Baptist Benevolo nts Societies. The annual convention of the Benevolent Societies of the Baptist denomination in the Unites States met iu the First Baptist Church at Indianapolis, on Wednesday afternoon. Tlie delegates were welcomed by Governor Porter in an address that was much applauded and which elicited an eloquent and hearty response from a representative member of the convention. The proceedings of the various societies represented were very interesting, especially those of the Publication Society on Thursday, with the annual denominational sermon by liev. John H. Broadus, D.

A strange piece of gossip, is goiug round the circles relative. to the sudden outburst of emotion by the Princess Stephanie during the ceremony. The story, in?, effect, is that the princess who was bronght up in strict seclusion, visited Paris at the time of the recent exposition in company with, her father, and' that they traveled incognito; and stopped at an unpretentious hotel, where the princess met a youug American, who fell in love with her, ignorant of her rank, and took opportunity in the exposition hall, while her father was momentarily absent, to declare his affection and to request permission to appeal to her father. The princess fled from him, aud subsequently inquiries developed to the American lover the identity of his indmorata, and although he refrained from again attempting to address her, he followed her to Brussels aud then to Vienna, and was present at the marriage ceremony, being recognized by the princess, who burst out into a fit of hysterical wTeepiug as described in recent dispatches.

Thomas Greatorex Fatal GaUantry ; Kew York Times. ;l j The tilling of Thomas Greatorex only son of Mrs. EUza Greatorex; the artist, bv a notorious blackleg at Du-' range, Col., while defending a woman v from a brutal sxssault.is a good exemplilication of the genuine chivarly of the American character. The young man . lost his life in his determination to pro-2 tect a woman he had never seen befoivi from a ruffian who had knocked ber down.

While it seems a profound pity that so , rine a young fellow as he is represented , to have been should be slain by a , common gambler, he could hardly have f died in a worthier cause.

But seeing a woman struck to the' earth by a brute in human form Khe in . stinctively became her champion, as any generous spirited man would have done, heedless of consequences.: The blackleg would have been lynched the account says, had he not fled im-? - mediately alter the shooting. It is Ui; , be hoped that he will yet be brought; to justice. Greatorex was a New v Yorker, and had many warm friesds. here, who will be pained and shocked to learn of his sudden taking-off. He had been five years in Colorado, where i he was much esteemed, ami had filled vniMmiR inm.-irtant offices. Those who :
