Coorwe, we couldn't know de truC we got skewrexl ter go down dar, lea it was only a plan ter git us ter show ourselves in a body, and deo Alio Ctry aid Sfalda. Alice Cary discourses, in Packard1 Monthly, on the subject of "Old Maida. She thus give the experience of some of them "How old were you, my dear, when Am Imdlam PaeTu Those who are under the impression that Indians possess no persona! bravery, and that their only owres with deadly weapons is when they hold the vantage ground, either among themselves or in warfare against the whites, would have been disabused of this impression, could they have witnessed one of the bravest and mot thrilling enactments of a tragedy, the equal of which, perhaps, has never taken place within the bounds of Montana. An Indian duel took place near Mr. Holler's asw mill, situated on Ten Mile creek, and about six miles from town, yesterday afternoon, an ac count of which' as we were then inform-" ed, was published in last evening's Her-ald.

From an eye itness of the bloody affair, we are in possession of further particulars, which were related to us as follows: A few Indians were in a cabin occupied by some of the employees of the mill, when one of them displayed his revolver, at the same time expatiating on its merits and his own extraordinary skill iu its use. This he carried to such Jaak Billlmcs am tfca Mala The mule i half horse and half jackass, and then knms to a full stop, natnr discovering her mistake. They weigh m-re, akprding to their heft, than any other kreatuxe, except a crowbar. Tha kant her eny quicker, nor further than the boss, yet tbt-ir ears are big enojtgh for snow shoes. Yott ken trust hera with any one whose life ain't mote than the mule's.

The ouly way to keep them into a paster, is to tut" a med-dor jineing, and let theIG JTi? out Tha are ready for use, just as they will do to abuse. They hain't enny friends, and will live on huckle-berry brush, with an chanse at Kanada thistles. Tha are a modern in-venshun. I don't think the Bible eludes to them at all. Tha sell for more money than enny other domestic animile.

Yoa kant tell their age by looking into their mouths, any more than you could a Mexican cannon. Tha never have no disease that a good club won't heaL If tha ever die tha must cum right to life agin, for I never herd nobody sa "dead mule." They are like aonne men, "very corrupt at hake." I've known them to be good mules for 6 months, just to git a chance to kick somebody. I never owned one nor never mean to, unless there is a United States law passed re quiring it The only reason why tha are pashent is because they are a-shamed of themselves. I have seen eddicated mules in a sirkus. They would kick and bite tremenjus.

Enny man who is willing to drive a mule, ought to be ex ajot Car Nellie "Wick, in tbe Ohio Farmer, "set forth what a tired and eroaa housekeeper got for dinner one day when bouse cleaning was in full blast5 as follows In the first place ahe made a big johnny cake but of course something must come before that something appetizing aad hearty and there were four to eat it. She couldn't stand on her feet another minute, so she threw herself on the lounge, aod called her little girl, nine years old "Bessie, is there any cold meat in the pantry "Yea, ma am; two little pieces of boiled beef, dinner." not a quarter enough tor "Get the chopping bowl and knife and chop it fi-e," Bessie did it. "Is there any cold potatoes "A few little ones. "Chop them op nicely with the meat And is there any bread except the small loat saved for tea i es, ma some broken pieces and nice crusts. them a little with water.

and chop with the rest "It's done, mamma." "Now take an egg or if there are plenty, take two beat them and stir in with the rest Is there any other eatable thing in the pantry "Just some butter and cheese, and tiiat all." "Put in a small lump of butter and let the cheese go." ii iii aone. nat a tunny mess, mamma I ery funny. Is there enough of it tor dinner, do you think "I guess not, ma, if you and I should cat any." "Of course we must eat Pour in two thirds of a cup of sweet milk, (water would do, if milk wasn't plenty, then sift in a handful of flour very carefully, so that it will not lump. This will help the egg to bind all together. Season it with pepper and salt till it tastes tavorv.

Now if it is of the consistency of rather moist mince-meat you may put the fry ing-pan over the tire, put in a little lard, dip out the mixture in large spoonsful, and fry it as you would fish-balls. Be sure that all are well-heated through. and browned on both sides." When the folks came to dinner, Bessie dished up the balls in the new tureen, and they looked tempting enough. But men never think anything out of the common way can be good, until they've tried it so the tired housekeeper's husband looked rather contemptuously at the dish, and said "What kind of formation is that "Conglomerate," answered the wife, spunkily, for she was feeling anything but pleasant "Why, it tastes like dressing," returned he, taking a good-sized mouthful. "Did you make it to stuff anything "Ys," replied the tired house keeper.

"Well but looking round the table, "what's to be stuffed "A goose said she, giving him such a look that he got off that tack immediately. "Well, they're excellent" said he, taking two more cakes, but I should like to know what they're made of. What's the foundation "The tureen," said she softly. "Is there any meat in them says he. "Just a visible admixture, she answered." "Any potato "All those little white bits are potato." "Any egg "All those yellow specks are egg." "Any bread "All that soft stuff is bread." "Anything else "Nothing but flour, milk, butter, pep per and salt" "Well, they are capital," said he, helping the boys and Bessie again and by the time that the originator of all this excellence was rested enough to en joy something, there was one left on the plate, and the husband looking loving at mat.

so she just toided her napkin and sat back her chair, and in a mm ute it was gone. But what woman doesn't count it a happiness to go hungry, if only her cooking can be praised A Good Story. A very amusing anecdote is told of an Irishman who happened to be in Paris a short time ago, while three crowned heads of Europe were there on a visit to nis Imperial Majesty Napoleon. These distinguished persons were Emperors of ttussia and Austria and the Kino- of Prus sia. One day having thrown aside all state ceremonial, they determined to see the sights ot the beautiful city on the Seine, for their own delectation, and for that purpose they resolved to go so as not to be recognized by the peo ple, nowever, their stroll through Pans, they west astray, and meet i no- gentlemanly looking: person who ban- penea to do an irishman, thev oolitelv asked him if he would kindly direct them to the Palais Royal.

"Faith and that I will, my boys." savs jrai, ai me same time takmsr a mental photograph of the three "boys." "This way, my hearties and so thev were conducted to the gates of the Royal alace, and the Irishman was about bidding them farewell, when the Empe ror oi imssia, interested and pleased as much by the genuine politeness of Pat and what son of t.rin was ever yet deficient in courtesy and politeness as by his naivette and witty remarks, asked him who he was. Well," rejoined their iruide, "I did not ask you who you were, and before answer you, perhaps yoa would tell me who you may be After some further parleyins, one said "I am Alexander, and they call me Czar or Emperor of all the Russians." Indeed," said Pat with a rosuish twinkle in the corner of his eye, and an incredulous nod of the head (as much as to say, "This boy is np to codding me a "And might I make bould to ax who you may be, my flower i hey call me rrancis Joseph, and the Emperor of Austria." Most happy to make your acquain tance, Frank, my boy," said the Irishman, who, thinking he was hoaxed, and in his despairing efforts to get the truth, as he conceived, out of them, turned to the third one, and said: "Who are you? "They call me Frederick William and I am King of Prnssia. They then reminded him that he promised to tell them who he was, and, after same hesitation and a mysterious air of confidence, Pat, putting his hand to his mouth, whispered "I am the Em-perior of China, but don't tell anybody." General Robert Anderson, the hero of Fort Sumter, is so reduced, pecuniarly, that he has been compelled to sell his library, and will live in Europe, as half pay would not support his family here. Waata Tirod is so a of WMrrlM, lv April 1, IMh A.N ARMT REiflKMCEWCE. The following i an extract from an entertaining ruwr Mart Antony," in tbe April number of Pctwaii" Mao-auks.

Tbe statetnente in re-IPW'i to John Iitown, will r-4 with especial interrst A the tlarknfflrt graJuAiiy settled on the ferry that Sunday nijrht, and couM no lonyr disiinjrai.h the river from thai land, and oala recognize the ford only by tbe line of UnU-rn stationed at intervals. I mm walking down tbe bill to the gal of the arsenal. wbttuer our reziment had been withdrawn, after.

picket poard had detailed and sent out to hold Bolivar Height. At I beared the gate, I aaw on the tide walk, standing balf-irreso-luV. doubting, apparently, whether to go forward or back, a till, nero, about twenty-two year old. He wu so well drowed that I could not help turning to look at him as I pased. Jim lare feature were purely negro, tut there a look of aad disappointment in bis eye, and a working of the corner of hi mouth, which aecmcd to tell of some deep greaf.

But disappointed nr; were a common sight, and I walked on rnd turned iuto the arsenal, the guard saluting me as I passed. At the same moment tbe sentinel Raid "lliUi!" witl slmrp emphasis, to saiii; one bfhind mc. It came close on mv iftaj5 that I instantly turned and taw tin; negro standing at me gate. "Vu can't come in here unless vou give the pans; them's the orders. "But I want to cross de ribber." "Guess ye dew; there's plaguey many on ye wants ter, but orders are ag'n it." "But I want to nee the Gin'rl, or de "What Oinral or Curnal d'ye want to "Some one I don't kecr which.

"Wall, yew can't come in here; naow jest ptan' back." I bad watched the man with interest, and understood his story as he talked and pleaded with the guard, lie looked at me, at the iron gate, at the river, at the hills beyond. "I can't go back I must cross de rib-ber t'nigbt. Don't say no. I'll do mos any 'ting, only 1cm me go. "No, no stan' back and don't be foolin' any longer." I could not resist the man's pleading look and voice, though I knew the penalty for helping a slave was the risk of one's commission, and, turning to the sentinel, I siid, "I see how it is you may let this man come in.

I want to speak to him." Willing enough to help the man if he had the least shadow of permission, the sentinel raised his rifle, and the negro hurried in. He moved so quick, and at the tmo time glanced over his shoul-der in such a frightened manner, that I could not help looking into the gloom to see who was behind. Then I walked on a tew paces into the shadow of the ruined buildings, the man following with his cap in his hand. When removed out of the hearing of the sentinel, I said "Boy, hat is your name "Antony, massa." "What do yon want to see a General or Colonel for "I want to cross de ribber." "Yes, I see yoa are a runaway slave" the man trembled all over as I said it "and you want to get to the ot her shore to escape. Is that so "Yes, sar I might's well tell de truf." "I understand.

When you get there, how will you get your living "I'll work for nuffin, so I'll be free." "Will you work for me if I will hire you and pay you wages "I'll work for nuffin, ef you'll lem me." "What's your whole name "Antony Hunter, sar." "Where do you live "Shepherdstown. Miss Shepherd's my missus, "Very well see you never tell any one else what you have told me. You are my servant now, and need be afraid of no one, unless I tell you to and I wm see mat you are sate it your mis tress sends for you." Antony followed me to my quarters, was put in charga of my kit and hor I a sea, ana at once went to worK with un tiring vigor. Tl 1 a ue neifc uay went wim tne six companies which were ordered to Marv land Heights, and bade a long farwell to the ruined buildings, aoueducts and ma' chinery which cumbered the river bank at the ferry. Antony grew rapidly in favor with all.

cincers, privates and servants were equally glad to see his pleasant face. No service he could do a Yankee was too great no labor too much. His strength was proaijjious ne could carry a barre of flour, lifting it by the chimes with his teeth and he was willing to put this great strength to any use that was re quired. I talked to him about his for mer life, and one day, when he was bus ily orushing my clothes, I said "Antony, did you ever see Brown "Do yoa mean Mr. Brown dey ed at Charlestown "Yes." "Know him! Yes, sar" he ped his brush and straightened John hang- drop- up "yes, sar I was one ob his lootenants." "His "His lootenants." "What do you mean lie had none." "Yes, sar de white folks said the cullud people didn't care for him, an didn't want tcr help him, But the cullud people roun' yer was all down on his paper dey was rolled, an we met, sar, in de 'woods, Sundays an nights, an' got ready ter fight for him when he called us and I was chose lootenant of the cullud peQpIe in Shepherdstown.

'How many do yoa think were on the "Can't tell yer, sar, jes' how many, but a dreffle sight more'n a 'Bat if that was true, why didn't you come to the Ferry and help him?" "Cos we was afraid. De cullud people's been cheated so often by de white folks, dat when dey struck de blow too soon at the Ferry, we was 'fraid we was goin ter be cheated." "I don't understand about striking too soon." "Why, ye see, sar, Mr. Brown tole us dat we should get leab t' come home Saturday fur Sunday an' a right small lot o' folks came home, more'n ever in de Eummer even more'n Christmas fur you see de servants are hired out roun de country. We was all ter'be dar Sunday and den, when they 'spected we'd be all done gone back to our places, Monday, we'd be in the mountains back ob de Ferry, 'till Mr. Brown gabe de word, an den all hurry dar ter jine him.

Lieutenant, d.ir warn't many such men as Mr. Brown he was de savior an' redeemer ob de cullud people, an' mos' ob dern beliebo he was Jesus Christ come baek ter sabe us." Columbaa the Savaai. This interview was to the enthusiastic adventurer an hour of intense yet solemn exultation.

Deaming himself the heaven-chosen instrument fur the most important of earthly enterprises, even the splendors of royalty could not dazzle him. The King, shrewd, sagacious, and ambitious, was excited by the idea of discoveries and acquisitions which would place Spain in the foreground of all the nations. With characteristic caution he declined forming any judgment himself, but ippointed a council of the most learned astronomers and cos-mographers of the kingdom to held an interview with Columbus, carefully to examine his plan and report their opinion. The conference was held in a large hall in the old convent of St Stevens, at Salamanca. The assembly, convened by royal missives, was imposing in numbers and in dignity.

Exalted functua-ries of the Church, professors in the universities, and statesmen of high rank, presented an array which must have overawed any plain man of ordinary capacity. Columbus, a simple mariner, with unaffected majesty of demeanor and of utterance, and with every fibre of his soul vibrating in the intensity of his zeal, presented himself before his examiners, sanguine of success But he soon found, to his extreme chagrin, that learned men may be full of prejudice and bigotry. His statements were assailed with citations from the prophets and the Psalms, and with extracts from the religious writings of the Catholic fathers. The declaration that the earth was round was declared to'be absurd. "What exclaimed several of these sages of the fifteenth century, "can any one be so foolish as to believe that the world is round, and that there are people upon the side opposite to ours, who walk with their heels upward and their heads hanging down, like flies clinging to the ceiling 1 That there is a part of this world where the trees grow with their branches hanging downward, and where it rains, hails, and snows upward But the doctrine of Columbus was stigmatized not only as absurd, but also as heretical, since to maintain that there were inhabitants in those distant lands would be an impeachment of the Bible, as it was deemed impossible that any descendants ot Adam could have wandered so far.

Others, in the pride of philosophy, with great complacency urged tne philosophical objection that admitting the world to be round, should a ship ever succeed in reaching the oth er side it could never return, since no conceivable strength of wind could force a ship up the mountainous rotundity of tne gioDe. J. e. Kj. Abbott, in Harper Magazine.

Genu of Thought- A kind No is often more agreeable than a rough Yes. Dr. Johnson used to say, "He who waits to do a great deal of good at once wiu never do any. a i All good principles must stagnate without mental activity. Riches got by deceit cheat no man so much as the getter.

Lieisure is sweet to those who have earned it, but burdensome to those who get it for nothing. Let our repentance be a lively will, a firm resolution.

How often do things assume a different aspect when they are fairly considered.

We should be careful to practice, and treat the humblest menial with courtesy delicate as we would show the children of affluence and honor. So shall we transfuse in them a corresponding refinement which will tend eventually, perhaps make them purer in morals and more elevated in mind. Early Rising.

A gentleman from Nevada, being asked by an old lady in relation to the welfare of a favorite scapegrace of a nephew who had gone that State, informed her that "the young man had died from early rising." This puzzled the old lady very much, until, by dint of inquiry, she learned that "early rising" is the Nevada phrase for hanging. 1 I yoa lost your lover saye a kind and patronizing matron to her old maid guest "or, perhaps it is painful to talk about the atlair "Oh, no the pain of the experience has all gone out of my life, it was so lone ago.

You see my sweetheart was a green grocer apprentice a red- cheeked, blue-eyed boy, five or six years my senior. I used to buy apple and calamus root of him on my way to school, and he always gave me more than my penny's worth and, besides, a smile so sweet that I was drowned in it dead in love every day of my life. When I parted from him to go away to boarding school he kissed me and called me his little vrow I ran away, burning il up wim uiusnea, ana ior three years made his rosy cheeks and blue eyes the inspiration of all my waking hours, the grace and glory of all my dreams. would have held it as an insult if any one had made so bold as to entreat me to depart from following after him. ell, I came home, somewhere about thirteen, I think, and my heart fluttennc up in my mouth, hastened to have sight and speech of my apprentice.

How Girl Treat Eaoli Other.

"It ain't ours, now, don't it says Rip Van Winkle, when his wife reminds him of the farm that he drank up.

"No, it ain't" "Well, den, I wouldn't bodder 'bout it if I was you. I'd let them bodder bout it vot it belongs to 'em." hue there should be a lesson in the career of Rip by which he lost his acres, there is much sense in his philosophy. The world abounds in people who are "Doddering" themselves about what don belong to them. Sometimes it is riches that have taken unto themselves wings, at other times lost opportunities that were not taken advantage of, and again it is youtii iorever gone. Jien some times spend sufficient time in mourning a lost fortune to make another, miss fifty opportunities of the present bewailing one that is passed, and render their old age miserable, repining because their youth had fled.

In all such cases they need a little of Rip's philosophy, though they need not draw it from the same source, and "let them bodder 'bout it vot it belongs to 'em." Fat Contribu tor. Night Air.

This was at once acceded to, and immediate preparations were made for a duel in their own peculiar style. iy this time about twenty warriors had collected, and all repaired a short way from the cabin, where they marked offj about forty feet the distance that was to separate the hostle savages. During these preparations the doomed warriors looked upon each other with the most stoic indifference and the crowd waited for the denouement in silent wonder. When all was made ready, the opponents took their positions for the last act standing with their heels on the mark back to back one with revolver and the other with his riffle.

One of the natives had been selected to act as second for both; he took his position a little aside from the line of fire; waved a epear, decorated with paint and feathers two or three times above his head, gave the terrible war-whoop, and on the instant, the duelists wheeled and fired. Both fell one shot through the brain, the other pierced to the heart Thus ended one of the most extraordinary and tragic encounters that has ever come in our province to record.

From the Sew York Ledger. No one can ride or walk through the fashionable portion of New York city, attend any place of amusement, or go to any evening party, without becoming aware of the horrible fact that many women, of whom better things might be expected, have fallen into the pernicious habit of applying to their skins the en amels which, under various attractive names, are advertised and sold in all parts of the land.

'only faded faces, but countenan ces so young, plump and pretty in outline that they must in their natural con dition be attractive, are lacquered over with an unnatural polish of fine porce lain which produces an effect such as one might imagine if a china doll were afflicted with consumption. I his practice is as pernicious as it is disgusting the seed of death or paraly sis being hidden in attractive pot and jar of these mixtures, which are suppos ed to be not only innocent, but also to possess the virtues of the undiscovered fountain of perpetual youth. borne who use them will suddenly have a severe illness and receiving a private warning from the family physician, will cease to use of the cause ot their disorder, and recovering, go through life with an extremely bad complexion, as a reminder of their folly. Others will drop suddenly, with their features twisted to one side, and perhaps deprived of the use of their limbs. Others will die outright no one guessing why, The effect on any particular per son car not be calculated.

What one suffers paralysis from, may kill another outright The only safety is in having nothing to po with any of these baleful preparations. The following anecdote of the late Mr. Swain, from the Philadelphia Press, is not without its moral in other latitudes than Pennsylvania: Many years ago, Mr. bwam, then edi tor of the Public Ledger, was hailed at the corner of Eiojhthteenth and Chest nut streets, by a very excited individual who informed him in the most emphatic terms, "I have stopped your paper, sir, and proceeded to explain the why and wherefore, all the time gesticulating wilclv. "My gracious, sir, you don say so.

Jome witn me to tne omce. and let us see if we cannot remedy the matter. It -grieves me that any one should stop my paper." Down Chestnut street to Third the two proceeded. Arriving at the omce, Mr. bwain said, "Why, my dear sir, everything seems to be going on here as usual 1 thought you had stopped my paper." Then and there the excited gentleman, whom the long walk, by the way, had partly cool ed, said that he had stopped taking his copy of the Ledger.

Mr. Swain was profuse in his appologies for having misunderstood the meaning of his late subscriber's words, and regretted that he had given him the tramp from Eigh teenth street to Third, down Chestnut The gentleman went on 1 his way home, a wiser if not a better man marvelinsr over the stupidity of editors in general, and of Mr. Swain in particular. Before he left however, he ordered that the Ledger be sent to his address. Drill for Slagl Volt iteers.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer says that after the horse is nine yearn old a wrinkle comes on the eyelid, and every year thereafter he has an additional well-defined wrinkle on the same spot If, for instance, a horse has three wrinkles, is twelve, if four, he is thirteen. Add the number of wrinkles to nine, and you will always get the age. As a good many people have horses over nine, it is easily tried. lit jl.
