There is nothing in the fonr Quarters
of the globe more unreliable than the
hindquarters of a mule.
He tliat knows most men's manners
must of necessity best know his own, and
mend those by example.
We presume the catfish is so called
because no ono was ever lucky enough to
&ui one with a bootjack.
No man. while board-fence adver
tising is popular, will ever lie allowed
to forget that he has a liver.
'I fraess I'll get on the fence ncain.
Tramping around in the stubble isn't
what it's cracked up to be."
An Irish editor savs he can see no
earthly reason why women should not
be allowed to become medical mon.
It is more disgraceful to distrust one's
friends than to be deceived by them.
One mistrust justifies the deceit of
Others.
For a man to write well, there are re
quired three necessaries to read the
best authors, observe the beat speakers,
and much exercise his own style.
The harvest moon will soon be here.
It is so called because young men who
utilize it for the purpose of going out
walking with tho girls are generally har
vested. Boston has a public vinegar inspector
ata salary of 81000 a year. One would
think he would get awfully tired looking
for his "mother" after she has "soured"
on him.
Mrs, Youngwoman wants to know
'what is the best way to mark table
linen?' Lave the baby and a black
berry pie alone at the tablo for a few
minutes.
Mrs.' Benjamin Tice. of Findlay, O.,
has just become the mother of quad
rupletstwo boys and two girls. We
don't boo any way to beat this, unless
somebody comes along with a straight
flush.
A Milwaukee lawver wrotn a love let
ter and blotted it while fresh. His wife
found the pail, worked a week to set the
lines right, and is now a divorced female
on $25 per week alimony.
Bobert Bourunzutschy, of Grand Rap
ids, Mich., fell through a hole in the
sidewalk, and bos sued the city for $30,
OuO damages. If the gentleman had only
set his name along ahead, all this trouble
would have been avoided.
A shrewd rascal advertises a machine
that will "add up columns of figures a
foot long" in six seconds. He sends a
piece of chalk with directions to use it
on a barn door or other surface big
enough to hold figures a foot long.
'An Indiana girl who was suddenly
kissed at a party has become insane.'
This paragraph was read by Nod to his
girl the other evening, and then he
queried, 'Do you 'sposo that's trno?'
She blushed slightly and then like a
true girl, replied: 'I don't know, but I
think I'd risk it.' Ned says he is per
fectly at home now.
Lio.cn Fuel fob Steamships. A
novel kind of fuel which, under certain
circumstances, will supersede coal for
use in steamships and locomotives, has
been tried with great success in the Bus
sian steamer Czarewitch, the swiftest
mail boat on the Caspian Sea. This mag
azine of dormant energy, as we may term
raw fuel, is simply the fluid refuse of
petroleum oil, and after being blown
into a spray by means of a jet of steam
from the boiler of the engine, it is
ignited inside the furnace, and burns
with a roaring sheet of flame. Such a
mode of combustion has several promi
nent advantages over tho usual cool fire.
It requires no stoking, and the flame can
be manipulated like a jet of gas, and the
steam pressure kept up to a required de
gree. The hist is a valuable property for
fast cruisers in time of war, or lor block
ade runners. Moreover, there are no
ashes, and the smoke is free from sul
phur. Ia default, therefore, of com
pressed air as a motive power on the Un
derground Railway, perhaps petroleum
waste may get a trial. At any rate, we
understand that the new system will be
adopted in the heating of the locomotives
on the Tiflis-Baku Bailway when it is
completed, and probably also on other
Central Asian lines. i London uiodo.
Fnttlng Men Under Guardianship.
Some of the attempts which are made
to put men unner guardianship would
be amusing if they were not outrageous.
A poor boy lias grown up muusuious,
self-denying, and economical. Self
taught in the hard school of adversity,
he has valued independence and a com
petency in his old age more than luxu
uries in his youth. All at once his im
pecunious relations mote tne discovery
that he who has proved himself compe
tent to accumulate a bandsoino property
is incompetent to manage it, and they
apply to the courts for the appointment
of a commission of lunacy so as to have
him declared incapable of taking care of
his property. They seek thus to make
tnat wuicu. lit luiriy uu uuuooiy
and which lie has earned, virtually and
ultimately their own.
We are glad to observe in the conrU a
marked indisposition to encourage such
attempts by crafty blood relations to ap
propriate to themselves fortunes which
they have been too lazy to accumulate.
As a general rnie, a man woo nas maao
his own property should be left to keep
it or to spend it. inst as ho chooses.

CENTRAL AMD SOUTH AMERICA.
A Dictatorship In Costa Kica Chill and
Peru. The War Continued.
Nrw Yobk, Oct 11. 1 be SKor and Herald of Pan
ama says : A decree issued by president (iuardl of
Costa Kica re-establisbes the law of January 187&.
by which all personal guarantees are abolished
and tbe community is left at the mercy of a die
tator. Anctber decree suspends the session of the
national constitutional assembly, convened about
a month ago. The reason given in the official ga
zette for this arbitrary measure is that a conspir
acy against the government has been discovered
aud the only salvation for those in power was dic
tatorship. The most important news from the southwest
coast is an arcouut of the destruction of the Chilean
sloop Covsdoreg.. Chileans picked up an empty
boat at sea. between Csncuy and Arcon, which on
being bolsted on deck exploded and tank the Cova
durega in a few initiates. The Covadonw. waa cap
tured by Chileans from Spain during the Spanish
aggression on the coast iu 1H4. The Chileans con
tinue devastlng the northern provinces of Peru.
The magnificent sugar pUnta.lons of Polo Seco
and San Bernard were burned by the invaders,
the owner, having refused money demanded.
Live stock, sugar, rice, etc.. about the village of
Pueblo Keuven were seized and the village
burned Roiling stock of the railroad was also
burned. A portion of the troops went to Huno,
continued the work or plunder and destroyed pan
of the neighborl-jg town Hacienda by tire. At
I'ayta and Italians all of the rolling stock was
burned.
The Chileans captured the American steamer
Muta, and expressed an IntenUon to capture the
Colombian schooner Tumaeo, which tbey said had
carritd war jcaterlal to tsnpo. They finally steamed
away In tbe direction of the departments of La
Ltbertad and Lambavcque.
It Is said that only four of the crew of the Cain
donga weie saved.
A rumor is beginning to gain currency that V.
8. Minister Chrlttiancy obtained a promise from
the Chileans that no active operations would be
carried on pending the receipt ol an answer from
Peru to conditions of peace. The Opinion Aafm
ofeof Lima ys it leatus that Mr. Cnristiancy, oa
passing Arira, asked lor explanations from the
Chilean author. ties as to the burning of the U. 8.
consulate, and as he obtained only evsalve an
swers, it is considered certain that he has Riven
an order for steamers to call at that port and exact
necessary siltsucllou. If tbis should bo refused
the paper states thst the Adam is to bombard the
town. There is a rumor mat the U. S. minister to
Chlie has presented a note in which Kuglaud co
incides. In this note the two powcrs.lt is said, ex
press their regret at occurrences in the south, and
trust thai excesses which have hitherto followed
their victories. will not be repeated, and that for
eign properties and lives will merit more respect
than hitherto.
Chile claims 20.000 men between Tacua and
Aries, including 'uocevalry. They declare their
Intention ol moving on Lima between the loth
and 12th ol October.

I9IOIAH DEPKEDATIO.IS.
Little War Clouds Arising; la the Borin
Ka.tern and Northwestern
Horizon.
The summer is far gone and in a few
short weeks the storms of winter will
burst in all their dreariness and fury,
yet snfflcieat time remains before that
time for many lives to lie sacrificed; for
many bloody massacres by the ever re
vengeful Indians. From various direc
tions come reports of hostilities which
may result in open warfare. From the
Skagit, Dudley Henry, Deputy United
States Surveyor, it is learued by tele
graph that the Indians have stopped the
party surveying the Skagit, and threaten
to kill them all if they proceed. Two
men were attacked by a party of Indians
and were compelled to kill two of them
in self-defense. It is feared that in
spirit of revenge and retaliation the In
dians will massacre the settlers in the
vicinity who are far from assistance and
nt tho mercy of the hostiles. General
Howard was telegraphed to asking assist
ance. He was with the Presidential
party, and at once telegraphed to Lieut.
Synions to take sixty men and proceed
at once to Olympia, take a waiting
steamer and hasten to the relief of the
surveying party. Serious trouble may
be avoided by the prompt action of the
agent.

MORE HOSTILES.
A correspodent writing from Payette
Falls, Idaho, says: "War Jack, with
three other Indians, has returned from
a scout beyond Loon creek. . He brings
a letter from . M. "Watson, a miner
over there, who informs Lieutenant Far
row that twenty lodges of hostiles are
encamped on Squaw creek, 90 miles
from the mouth of Loon creek. They
have been to Watson's camp and threat
ened to kill himself and partner several
times, but finally told them they would
spare them if they did not try to leave
and inf orm the soldiers where they were.
Watson is well known to Lieutenant Far
row, and he asks the Lieutenant for
God's sake to come over. Just as Lieut.
Farrow is about to comply with the re
quest a courier comes in with a dispatch
from General McDowell ordering him
home. So the call of humanity has to go
unheeded and the homeward order has
to be obeved." The scouting party has
returned but nothing has yet occurred of
a serious nature in the vicinity of the
hostiles as far as heard from. Trouble
may yet arise in that section, which will
necessitate Farrow's return. Little war
clouds appear in various points of the
horizon but nothing serious will result.
A Compliment to Bashfulnesg.
We never saw a bashful man who was
not the soul of honor. Though some
may blush and stammer, and shrug their
shoulders awkwardly, unable to throw
forth with ease the thoughts they would
express, yet commend them to us for
friends. There are touches in their
character which time will mellow and
bring out. Ladies with really good
hearts aud cultivated intellect will
reward the gallant Sir Mnstachio Brain
less with smfies because he can fold a
shawl gracefully and bandy compliments
with such elegance, bnt would not con
descend to look upon the worthier man.
The man who is bashful in the presence
of ladies is their defender when the loose
tongue of the slanderer would defame
them: vet he who would die to
defend them is least honored
by the female sex. Whoever
heard of a basiiiui HDertiner xne
anomalv is never seen. Ease and ele
gance are his requisites; upon bis lips sits
flattery, ready to pay court to the blue
eves and to Mack. Me is never non
piussed; ne never oiusnes; ior a wora
he would professedly lay down his life;
yet he it is who fills dens with wrecks of
female purity: it is he who profanes the
holy name of mother; desolates the
annne wuere- uumesuu uuppiuves i"
throned: ruins the hearts of those -who
trust in him and all under the mask of
a polished gentleman. Ladies, would
you possess a worthy husband? Choose
him whose delicacy of deportment leads
him to stand aloof when others stand
around you. If he blushes, stammers
even at your approach, consider them as
so many signs of an exalted opinion of
your sex. Depend upon it, with him
your life will be happier with poverty
than with many another surrounded with
the splendor ot wealth. nome vircie.
The unclean process of putting oil on
hair, it is a pleasure to know has been
abandoned. There is always in the hair
natural oil enough, which can be brought
oat by much brushing with a stiff brush,
and shampooing keeps the scalp clean and
prevents the accumulation of dandruff,
whicn by the way, is said to be increased
by fine combs.
Religion or the Dakota Tribes.
Colonel H. B. Carrington spoke about
tV.4s Ttt.nt. A' I, i; i t ...
w .uuOT, panic many -jynn re-
guru m meir religion. All nations seem
to have some traditions about their ori
gin, and these are often as strango as the
most active fancy could invent or the
strongest imagination conceive. The
Chief of the Japanese Legation, while in
this country, said: "We have a tradition
in Japan that our people came from the
skies in a boat, and we have pictures
wnicn try to represent our ancestors. I
know enough now to see that onr people
could not sail out of the sky; but when I
see people here, who for the first time
remind me of tho pictures of onr fore
fathers, I wonder vnhi awe whether
America was not their home and the
ocean waves took them to Japan." He
referred to the red man of America.
Perhaps some of the traditions will find
their explanation when the study of an
thropology, ethnology, and some other
sciences or sources of knowledge has
been followed by a few years more: and.
indeed, we must admit that some of these
traditions are of such a character as to
indicate an origin for them which is more
than mere fancy or imagination. Colonel
Carrington includes among the tribes of
which he speaks, not only the Dakota,
but also the Pawnees. Winnebajroes.
Sioux and some others. In no case has
he found any words in the Indian lan
guage for cursing God. The Indian's ;
reverence for the Great Spirit is above
that of some white men who claim to be
his superior. The Indian idea of tbe
spirit land is that it is a phy
sical paradise, where every taste
and longing ia promptly met. If
he wants food, it is near at hand; water
springs up ready for use; ponies and game
abound; blossoms, leaves and fruit never
fail ; all is perennial and perpetual. The
Indan conception of hell is quite different
from onr own. There is the same pro
fusion of mercies and good things there,
but, like Dives, who saw the happiness
of heaven beyond his reach, the bad In
dian cannot partake of the pleasures
which surround him after death. Chief
Joseph was once asked if he desired to
have schools and churches on the Wal
lowa Reservation. He replied that he
did not, and gave as his reason that they
would "teach ns to quarrel about God,
as the Catholics and Ptotestantsdo, We
fight each other, but we don't want to
fight about God." Their mode of burial
by raising the dead upon platforms be
yond the reach of wild beasts, until the
dust returns to earth, is full of strange
fancies. The problem of what shall be
done with the red man demands our at
tention at this time. The past has shown
that when he enters upon a treaty with
the white man .nndorstandingly he is as
faithful to Ins agreement as we are our
selves. We call him a savage, but he can
be a friend. This has been true of the
Narragansetts, the Dolaw area, the Paw
nees, the Winnebagoes, the Crows. Spot
ted Tail, with his 10,000 companions, has
kept the pledges made in 1866. Red
Cloud and followers are true, in spite of
of numerous deprivations they have suf
fered. Since the year 1865 there has not
been a border campaign which did not
have its impulse in tho aggressions of
the white men.
A Runaway Locomotive.
An incident of a singular nature oc
curred recently on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad near Allen town, Penn. The
engine Antelope, No. 27, with half a
dozen flat cars, one of which was in
front of the locomotive. This was the
construction train, and the crew were re
pairing the down track. They neglected
to have their flag out to signal approach
ing trains, and the engineer and firemen
wore off the engine. About 5 o'clock No.
43 freight train, Philip Lader, engineer,
came thundering along, and before a
collision could be avoided ran into the
construction train.
The engineer and fireman jumped off
before the crash took place, the former
breaking a leg and the latter escaping
with a few braises. The force of the
collision was so great that the "pulling
bar connecting the engine Antelope
with its tender was snapped in two. The
concussion forced the throttle open, and
the Antelope, with the flat-car in front,
dashed off at a lively speed, the laborers
ou the track barely escaping with their
lives. The runaway locomotive went
faster and faster every moment, and fair
ly flew along the track, to the consterna
tion and surprise of the laborers on the
line. In a minute the Allentown Fur
nace was reached, and past the immense
establishment of the Allentown Rolling
Mill Company sped the engine with
lightning rapidity.
(Several men here narrowly escaped
being run over. A dispatch was sent
down the valley to switch off the run
away aud run it aground, but before
this could be accomplished the engine,
when near the Allantown depot, overtook
coal tram and dashed into it with
frightful force. For a moment the air
was filled with flying coal, broken cars,
hissing steam, etc., and a scene ot inde
scribable confusion followed. Of course
the runaway came to a standstill. The
flat car was hurried from its truck and
landed some distance from the track in a
demoralized condition.
The cow-catcher, smokestack and cab
of the Antelope were badly broken, and
tho locomotive machinery more or less
damaged. The rear two coal cars were
demolished and their contents thrown
around promiscuously, some of the coal
being hurled into the air to an altitude
of seventy-five feet or more. The track
was obstrncted for an hour, when gen
eral traffic was resumed. The freight
engine was considerably damaged and
one freight car was thrown oa the track.
Mr. Lauer, the engineer of tbe freight
train was taken to St. Luke's Hospital at
South Bethlehem, where amputation of
a leg was performed during the night.
Night Lira of iocso Men. One
night often destroys a whole life. The
leakage of the night Keeps tne day lor-
ever empty. .Right is sin s harvesting
time. More sin and crime are commit
ted in one night than all the days of the
week. This is more emphatically true
ot the city than in the country. . The
street lamps, like a file of soldiers with
torch in hand, stretch away in long lines
on either sidewalk; the gay colored trans
pa rancies are ablaze with attractions; the
saloon and billiard halls are brilliantly
illuminated; music sends idrth its en
chantment; the gay company begin to
gather at the haunts and houses of pleas
ure; the gambling dens are aflame with
partial splendor; the theaters are wide
open; the nulls of destruction are grind
ing health, honor, happiness, hope, ont
oi tnonsanut oi lives. The city under
gaslight is not the same as under God's
sunlight. The allurements and perils
and pitfalls of night are a hundred fold
deener and darknr and mnrn ilnatrnrt.iTo
Night life in the city is a dark problem
whose depths and abysses and whirlpools
make us start back in horror. All night
long tears are falling, blood is streaming.

The Cacnnber.
The cuoumber is a wonderful vegeta-
oie and has found its way into the great
American heart, tho stomach being the
medium, and although a great, many
persons suffer from eating them, yet they
never appear to lose their popularity. It
is- a vegetable which has a terrible
prejudice against 'some persons, and ono
of them when once it gsts a hold on tho
stomach will wrestle with a man through
out an entire night, and otherwise enter
tain him with the most improved style
of cramps. There are two kinds of
cucumbers, ono of them being noted for
its medicinal properties and its powor to
pull the flesh from off tho bones of a
mortal.
It is a very near relative of croton oil,
and when a man once takes a dose of it,
he ever afterward entertains a deep
seated hatred for the whole tribe. The
domestic species, however, does not act
in the same war. vet it treatment of
humanity is very often equally as pain
ful. It has long since been considered
as indigestible, and when any one has a
first-class cucumber nightmare, it is
very apt to destroy his faith in tho use
fulness of , diet. The "loke" once in a i
thoughtless moment dined on five very j
large cucumbers, and that night five !
fiery-eyed demons jumped on him, and j
stuck their pitchforks into his form and
danced upon his breast and stomach in
high glee. He tried to kick and ory ont,
but it was useless; they had him like a
vise. . ' -
The next morning his frightened
friends found him curled up like a fish
hook, speechless from pain. Those cu
cumbers were waging a merciless war
and attacking from all points. They
marched around his stomach in platoons,
regiments and brigades, and became
complete masters of the field, and did not
surrender an inch until tho doctors and
half a drug store came to the rescue, and
alter a terrible struggle of twenty-four
hours the "loke's" knees were released
from his chin. The relief from the en
cumber pangs were heaven-like in itsr
sweetness, and he dropped off into; a
peaceful sleep, and dreamed that he was
a big cucumber and had a scheming
enemy who was always seeking bis life
by devouring him alive. I
He thought that one day his enemy
came along, and jerking lurry from the
very bosom of his family, deliberately
ate him, and after be reached that man
stomach, he determined t J sell his life as
dearly as possible. The first, thing he
did ho threw his eneuiy into V spasm,
and rolled him out of bed and hauled
him over the floor. Then he twisted him
into the shape of a gimlet, and wound
him up like an apple-peel and jammed
his heels bock of his ears and made him
groan, swear and curse.
Then he pitched him into the middle
of a big convulsion and bounoed him up
to the ceiling, and slammed him against
the wall until four men had to tie his
legs and send for a doctor, and about
the time he thought ho -had killed his
enemy the "loke" awoke and shuddered
to think how dreadful was a cuoumber
in its wrath.
The only harmless cuoumber is tho
pickled one, which is much sought after
by boarding-school girls and old maids,
but the -world is advised to look upon
the cucumber when it is green, for it
hurteth the stomach like unto a saw mill.
Care of Farm Machinery.
The rainy season is so nearly hero.
that farmers should at once examine tho
reapers, mowers, threshers, headers, en
gines and other farm machines, which
are now to be put under cover for tho
winter. If this is not done until next
summer, the blacksmiths and carpenters
ol the vicinity will then be too busy to
pay proper attention to details. Unsea
soned timber may be used, and annoy
ing delays may occur. The whole sub
ject should be cared for now, and dupli
cates of those parts which are most
likely to bo worn or suddenly broken.
should be obtained. Farmers will know
that reapers, in particular, must be iu
early repair, as in somo seasons the rust
may strike a wheat held so quickly that
only immediate cutting saves it for hay.
In the care of mowers and reapers.
and indeed of all field machinery, the
use of too much oil on the cog-wheels
and toothed bearings works a great in
jury. Even though the gearing is care
fully boxed, or encased, and as much as
possible protected from dust, still some
dust will enter, and settle upon the oil,
making it thick, hard, and - worthless.
After a while this surplus oil becomes so
gritty and hard that it lifts tho cogs
apart, wearing the journals, increasing
the draft, and rendering the jar and ten
dency to break much greater. The
proper plan is to wipe tho cogs with an
oiled rag once a day, or if using an oil
can, to pour on but little. The-gritty
conglomerate in the bottoms of thS cogs
and pinions should frequently be ft
movea.
Sometimes a tooth of a cog or pinion
will be found to cut. Examine and see
whether or not the shaft is sprung. If
the tooth has been cast rough, mix black
lead and tallow as a lubricant to cause it
to wear smooth. About tho most impor
tant part of a reaper or mower is tho cut- i
ting apparatus. Lxammo all its parts
each day, before beginning work. Look i
at the guard, tne angers, the knue-bar
and the sections. Straighten bent patts, :
and replace whatever is broken. A bent
knife-bar must be straightened : ears-
fully. Put the bar, bent uppermost, on
a wooden block, put a piece of wood on
tho bar, and strike this with a wooden
mallet. A guard-bar can be Straightened
by the use of a lever, bnt must be taken
from the machine first. When engaged
in tbe actual work of the field do not
stop and start up when tho knife is fall.
Back a step, and let tho matter gain
headway first. " : ;
The sections of a new mowing machine
knife are square cut at Jho point. Somo
farmers grind these to a sharp point.
This is a mistake. The machine has less
draft, and does better work when the
square cut is left at the tip. This is also
true witn neaaers ana wua reapers.
Some larmers use a file for sharpening
their reaper and mower knives. This
heats the steel and takes out its temper.
It is as bad as to file a razor, or a prun-ing-knife.
Use a grindstone and plenty
of water. Let the stone have a square
face and fine grain. Hold tho knife on
the top of the stone, in a diagonal
direction: grind alternate sections on the
same side. Then reverse the knue ana
irrind the other sido of tho untouched
Actions. When, whilo at work in tho
field, a section is broken, or notched by

Fit tho rivets well, for if loose jn tho
Vnifo.Vvak. tha section miizht be a source
of danger to the driver, by Eying on or

examining them every day. -V
. ina nf the moat neoeaaarv points m
field work, is that tho driver should
never, oven for a moment, stand in front
of tho knives of a mower or reaper to
which a team is harnessed. This should
1m a fundamental rule on every farm.
No matter how safe a team may have
been, tho records of farm lifs show that
frightful accidents have occorrea irora
this cause. If a team is startled and
runs, there is almost no escape for a man
and ho is thrown down and killed, or
