An' Indian's Practical Joke. Ab ut the yeir 1812, in onr last war with Eugland, several place on t!e Niagara frontier were burned by the combined forces of the British and In dians. These acts of barbarity were of j course attended with many Atrocities j upon th"i defenceless inhabitants, for the sava. allits of the enemy weie under s'iiji't restraint, and ran their usual course of tomahawking and scalping. The village of Lewiaton w is burued early I one winter morning1, and the affrighted residents fie 1 for their lives eastward on the ll'dge road. They were pursued for several miles, and many places along the way were pluudered and ravaged. The experience of a firmer whom we will call Thompson was ra her more ludicrous than tragical, and illustrated an Indian's id.a of a practical joke, al though it wai rather a costly oue to poor Thompson. His house was some distance back from the road, and upon learning from the first fugitives of the general peril, he made up his mind that his best course was to keep himself and his family out of ti-ht, io hopes that the savages would overlook his place. So the Thompsons hid themselves in the cellar, except the head of the family. who anxiously reconnoitred the distant roau through a crack ia the door. He niw many Indians pass on horseback, end by noon they hail commenced to re turn, liis hopes grew brighter, for his danger w.iuld soon l over, when he was su idenly throwu into consternation by the sight of two savages, ferocious with war-paint aid feathers, riding up the lane uirectlv to his house. Vuu a groau cf terror he gave himself up, and all that was his, for lost. From where he stood he could see the smoke of tsvo burning dwellings, aad he had no rcas u to anticipate any thiug better for hini- 8elt than massacre and destruction. 1" a iivimctithe heard their hatchets pound ing at the door, and with such feelings an cannot be de.-crihed, he opened it, and the two fierce intruders stalked in "Ugh!"' grunted oue of them, turning Thompson about by the f-houlder. The ictini afterwards declared that the In diau looked to him ten feet high, and as big as a barrel. "Ugh ale face gun s?' 4,No, no none at all.' "Ugh ! Pale face squaw?' ita a sinsing heart the poor man went t the cellar-door and called up Mrs. Thompson, who appeared in the full expectation that she was t be murdered immediately. 'Ugh!" The Indian looked at her. ana men turning to liiomnson azain asked, "Pale face nimf" "Thompson."' "Pale-face pfippoo.se?"" there was no help for it, and the three trembling chihben came up. The Indian looked fct ilidly at them in fact his face never once changed during the whole of this singular interview and giving another grunt, he said: "Injun hungry much. Thompson metit, potato, whiskey lujan meat, po tato, whiskey. Thompson squaw get him." The idea conveyed by this broken English, that every thing in the house was to be considered the property of tiiese unbidden guests, was perfectly un dent jod, and Mrs. Thompson promptly bestirred herself t get what tiiey wanted. Her husband ottcn asser:ed uftjrward that those two Indians then and there devoured two loaves of bread, a leg of boiled mutton, more tl. an half a peck of potatoes, and left not a drop in a three pint measure filled with wh'sky. Their tremendous meal was finished with mutual giunt of satisfaction, and the spokesman said : "Thompson calumet, t back Injun calumet, toback. Thompson get him." Two cob pipes and a quantity of am munition for them were produced, and for about two hours following the two visit rs sat on the floor and smoked, all the time keeping their eyes watchfully on Thompson, and their knives and hatchets handy, anil onne in a while ex changing a won! in their own language. The wife and children stood by unnoticed, wondering what was to be the end of it. At lat the Indians rose with sighs of satisfaction, deposited the pipes and surohn tobacco somewhere ft'ionr. thmr persons, and were app;ireutly about to leave, when one of them happened to look out of the window. He gave anoth er grunt, and taking Thompson by the shoulder, pointed to two handsome horses in the barnyard. "Ugh!" lie said, "Thompson horses, Injun hoists. Thompson saddle bridle, Injun saddle biidle. Thompson get him." There wa3 nothing to be done but to comply, and in a fev minutes the horses were at the door. Tnep, with undimin ished gravity, the savage took Thomp son once more by the shoulder, and remarked, in a kind of gracious way, point'itsr to Mrs. Thompson and the children: 'Ugh! Thompson squaw. Thompson Thompson squaw Ti.ompson pappoose, pappoose. Ktep him. And mounting his horses, the Indians disappeared, leading their own. And to his dying day Thompson never knew th reason of the unexpected clemency with which he was that day treated. There seems to be a probability that those who Love to steal awhile away From every cumbering care, will ha?e an opportunity such as rarely occurs to the solitarily inclined. The plan of Captain Howgate for discovering the Nortel Pole has received the in dorsement of prominent scientists, such as Judge Daly, Professors Henry and Lewis, and Dr. Hayes, and it is likely that Congress will grant the 30,000 of aiu asKea lor. 1 he plan is to take s party f seasoned men. amply supplied and provisioned, to the farthest northern accessible point, and leave them there for three years, that they may take ad vantage ot any favorable summer to sail acioss the open Po'ar sea to the North Pole.

The first Roman Journal, published over two thousand years ago, appeared only once a year. This paper, intended to be read by the public, was kuown by the title Annales Maximi. The editor of this papt-r was the "P.-ntifex Maximum," whose duty it was to chronicle a'lthe im- onant events of the year. The news wis wntten u white wooden tablet and attached to the residences of citizens. It must have !een a curious slsrht to sec the old Rjmans crowding around these tab lets to get a look at the latest news. But the thirst after knowledge and the curi- osily of the people grew rapidly, and in such a measure that the government, the only issuer of a journal, found itself oblijrtd t issue a daily. It is interesting to know that some of these journals, havi.ig ranched the age of 2,044 ye irs, are it'dl ia existence. The name of the fiivt biilv iournal was Acta Populi Jio- maui Diurni; it appeared daily either as 'Album." . e.. the tablet hung out in public, or the contents were written witli red cha'k on the walls of the houses. The contents of the journal comprised what would be classed as daily news in our mo "em papers. From the want of the ueces a-v material, political articles were not to be had. Nevertheless, ac cording to the views of the Roman gov- . a 1 er.imetit, it w is a true journal, ana in tended at rtadiug matter lor the public. Doubtless it will interest some of our readeis to peruse a verbal translation from the oldest journal extant, i-sal 168 years before the biith of Christ: "Con sul Sieinius w as the acting judge to-day. There was a heavy thunderstorm, and tha lightning solit an oak at the foot ol the hills of Veli. In a hostelry at the foot of the hil's of James there was a fight, in which the landlord was bully wound ed. Titiniu punished some butchers on account of their selling meat which had not been insjiected; the money thus paid was used to erect a chapel to the Goddess Laveiea. The broker Ausidius tied from town to-day, taking money wiih him belonrinr to other people. He was caught, aud had to refund the money The bii-atd Demiphon, who was cap tured by Officer Nerva, has been crucified to-day. The flotilla from Asia arrived to-day." We see Irom this that it was in oideu times pretty much the same as in our day; we only wish that cur officials would attend to the batchers as well as Titiuius did. It must be of interest to j urnalism to kuow that Julius Caesar, the greatest of all R mans, paid especial attention to i uraa!isai. He saw the ne cessity of instruc;inof the people in every thing occurring in tlie State, and we find this quotitiou in ISu.to.nus: "Julius Ciesar, as toon as he had en t- red his public office, caused not only to be writt n. but also spread among the people, the proceedings of the Senate." This was the first political paper, and as it contained news about buildings. births, deaths, executions aud anecdotes, it can be likened very much to our mod em pape.s. It seems incredible, but it can be proved that already in the olden times there were stenographeis who to K down the speeches made in the Senate or in public. They were called "Notaiii," and we find a place in Suetonius where Augustus is angry because the stenogra phers reported the spe.-ch of Ca3ar for Metullus iu a very imperfect manner. There must hve be;;n reporters, judging from a letter ot Cicero to Cxehus; also private reporters, who gathered the news, and sent them by the "cursus publicu," an institute similar to our mail, through out the provinces. Potter American Monthly. Some Results of the Challenger Ex pedition. Of this expedition Sir Wyville Thom son has given the general results. The superficial area of the world is 197,000,000 square miles, of which 140,000,000 are covered by the sea, at aa average depth of 15,000 feet. The floor ot this region is, to a certain degree, comparable to the land. It has its hills, valleys, and great plains; its various soils; its climates, and its special races of inhabitants, depend ing on the conditions of climate aud soil for their distribution. The vessel departed from England in December, 1872. She crossed the Atlan tic tour times in loid, in a course ot 20,000 miles. Iu 1874 she went south ward irom the Cape of Good Hopp, dip ping within the Antarctic circle as far as she could, and then traversed the Austra lian and New Zealand seas and the inte rior of the Malay Archipelago, arriving at Hong Kong on November 10, 1874, after a run iu that year of 17,000 miles. In 18 1 5 she traversed the Pacific, m a course of about 20,000 miles, and then crossed the Atlantic for the fifth time, reaching England May 24, 187C. The three general .results are 1. Tiie knowl edge obtained of the contour of the bot tom, and the nature of the deposits uow being formed. 2. The distribution of deep-sea climate. 3. The nature and dis tribution of the peculiar race of animals now found at the bottom of the sea. Iu the Pacific there is an enormous exten sion of wa'er of gnat dep'h in many case beyond 18,000 feet. In ' the North Atlantic the greater portion has a depth of 12,000 feet; aud in the South Atlantic, on ech s'.de of what is known as the Dolphin rise, there are troughs usually 18,000 feet deep, which form marked de pressions roughly parallel with the arc of the South American and African Comi nents. Popular Science Monthly. TnE Pkrils of Peaul Diving. Aus tralian papers state that two divers en gaged in pearl-fishing in Torres Straits were recently drowned while at work in their diving-dresse, and two swimmin divers have been devoured by sharks. The sharks are now so numerous as to produce a perceptible falling off ia the quantity of pearl shell obtaiued. Oue of the divers is described as losing his life in a siugular way. He was walking aloncr the bottom, which was very level and free from coral, when his life-bne became en tangled round a large piece of cup -shaped coral, the only obstruction for a consider able distance. The boat to which he was attached was drifting with the tide as he walked on, and the life-line getting foul the boat was anchored, as it wereT The strain thus brought on the life-line would appear to have drawn the diver down to the coral, thereby creating such alarm as to cause him so far to lose his presents of mind that hecut the iine. He miht just as well have cut his throat, as by his thoughtless act he transferred th strain from the rope to the air-pipe, which was soon pulled out of its socket in the uciluci. it was some limit IHI; 1 I . 1 11C wujr was recovereu. it was on its back - muiij ciuicueu in t tne right nana.

A Remarkable Case of Contentment in Adversity. 0.?e man, an American, living in a little quaint attic at No. 1G Potters street, whs a marvel of philosophy. He could give "p'ints" to Dickens' M .rk Tapley. He was discovered by Officer Smith. The room was not hih enough to stand up right in, un h;ul but one window a lit t'e one. In o us corner ws a mess of wretched straw on ihe bare floor; no bed; no chair; no anything, except a little stove, with a dull fire of ciuders picked up out of waste ash-heaps. Ou the only shelf, a rude one, were three plates, twol cup, and a aucei with a little poor mo lasses in it, and a lottle partly filled with kerosene. A tin pan lay near, a useful article, it s.ienis. "Holioa, here, sai.l the omeer, "you are in a room tiK low between joints to live in !" "But Providence orders it all f . r the best; m h hhort man, yon see. "Is this room all the place you haver "Yes, and it's enough for me and the old woman." "You have a wife, then?' "Yes; she's out with the. bag but she'll be back by and by." ' Is th it all you have, on tnat slielif "Ye; all but those tAo tin pails out theie. We c ,k in those." "In those rusiy old tin puis? Whore did you get 'cm ?" uO', 1 found 'em ou the a-h-heaps. The Lord piovules for all of us." "Viiat do you do with that tin pa.if "Thar, the old woman washes doilies in, and we use it for other things." 'I suppose you wash your feet in it?" "O yes, it's rial handy for all sorts of things. We can bake in it, if we get any dour, which we seldom do." Everything looked neat, though utterly forlorn and poverty' -stricken. Thtre was even an attempt at feminine ornamenta tion, a little "scolloped" paper ou the shelf, etc. Most of the room was ro;igh, bare walls, not even lathed and plastered. "And you two sleep on that straw'f" "O yes. We get niong when we cau get anything t cat. The old woman generally gets a bone or two; she cabs at houses who kuows she ieil!y needs it." "What do you do?" "I go out picking up paper and sell it. One day last week I to.d ten cents' w rth. That was a good day. Tint was the way I got tnii stove; I picked up wate p iper in the street and made five, six aud some times tea cents a day, till I got two d -lars and fifty cents, and bought this little slove. It's a capital stove." "You have no bud have you no cau dle or light at night?" "Well, that's kerosene in that bottle; but I haveu't any lamp. But we get on very well, the old w nnaii and I, when we get anything to eat." The oaly chair was a piece of scantiiog nailed across two barrel hea ls. "Will you tell me who y u are? your name and history" ".My na.ne is Ltswis . I was th-i lirat man wh ever iid a pitce of scr -11-saw work here in llartf rd, for the late Coioue! Sun Colt. I worked for him as fancy joiner and scroll-sawyer, aud did well. After that we thought we'd buy a faim, and there I li st tvo of my chil dren. They weie sick long, aud my wife g.t rheumatic from watching and expo sure, an 1 all drawu up; r.n I after the e -ond child died too doctor's bills took all my money. We ha I tot lt our place aud come back to town let our three re maining children go out to families there." "Are they I lure now?" "Yes, all three." "And you have uevir made your condi tion knOAU? Never asked for helps" "Only at the houses I speak of, for a chance bone or potato. It is enough. We enjoy life." Officer Smith promptly induced Mr. Sluyter to furnish the couple with a bed, blankets and some chai s; also a dish to cook on and some decent food. AVhiie Mrs. S. was there the "oM woman" came in. She was wrapped up about the hands and chest with tome old flannel, to guard against more rheumatism a disorder which had so . affected her throat as to greatly impair the deal m.'ss of her speech. Uut siie proved to be quite as jolly as her husband, an 1 as uncomplaining. There are men worth their millions aud not far away who are scarcely so happy as this man and his "old woman" living in that f rlorn little attic. Hartford Conn.) Times. Not Exactly That. Saturday even ing a laboring man waited at the City Hall for a car up Michigan avenue, and he hid a buudle under his arm, and seemed to be the father of an interesting cottage household. So thought a good man, also waiting, and he said: "So after the toil of the long week, y..u are returning to your little family with your Sunday dinner under your arm, eh? ' "Not exactly," growle 1 the man with the bundle. "All the toil I have seen this week is ttanding a ound lure aud looking for a job." "But you can still feel happy with your children, continued the good man. "I can almost hear their shout as they meet you at the gate." "You have very long cars, mister," muttered the other. "I haveu't a family at all, or we'd all be in the poor house. I'm b arding down here at a oue-horde place, and I've got to sell my w atch or jump my bill! The other hated to give up, aud after a p iuse he a-ked : "Ami that isn't jour Sunday diuner under your arm?" "That I I should say not. Tout's a bundle of shirts from the Chinese laun dry, and I'd like to choke the wall-eyed heathen who ironed the sleeves till he drove half the length back into the shoulder-blades! Clear out, now, for I believe you are one of them confidence men!" The Osliome County (Kan-a) Farmer says: "We have take.i wood, potatoes. ,rn egg, butter, onions, cabbages. chickeus, stoue, lumber, la'ior, sand, cal ico, sourkraut, second-hand clothing, coon skins and bug juice on subscriptions, in our time, and now a man writes us to know if we would s nd the paper six months for a large owl. There are few things an edit, r would refuse on subscrip tion, and if we cma across any fellow who is out of owl, and is in need of one, we il do it." A schoolboy was asked by his teacher to give an example of earnestness. He looked bothered for a moment, but his face brightened liko the dewdrops glist niug ou the leaves of the rose in early morning, as he delivered himself of the following happy thought: "When you see a boy engaged on a mince pie till his nose touches the middle plum, and his ears droop on the outer cruets, you may know he has got it." The jrates of heaven are low-arched: j we must enter upon our knees. COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, A Result of Obstructed Digestion. Among the hurtful consequences of ob structed digestion, is the jinpoei i.liinent or Hie blood, and since a detei iative condition of the vital fluid not only produces danger ous organic weakness, but, according to the best medical authorities, sometimes causes asphyxia, it is apparent that to improve tbe quality of the blood by promoting digestion and assimilation, is a wise precaution, llos tHter's Stomach Bitters is precisely the reui cdy for this purpose, since it stimulates tLe gastric juices, conquers those bilious and cvacuative irregularities which interfere with the digestive processes, promotes assimila tion of the food by the blood, and purities as well as enriches it. The signs of improve ment iu health in consequence of using the Bitters ere speedily apparent in an accession of vigor, a gain in bodily substance, aud a regular and active performance of every physical function.

Anv oue who can tune a guitar or violin can keep the Kogeis Piano in tune without trouble. It is the only Piano iu which the Pedal acts directly upon the dampers, without compli cating levers, rods, etc. The Tone is all that the most exacting could desire, resembling that of the finest Grand Piano, iu its wonderful Singing Qual ity; its perfect purity and its remurkabL.' power. -'i lie Bass is deep aud full, the Treble clear and brilliant. The Touch is delicate and elastic, and so perfect the instrument needs no soft pedal.
