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.

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.

And mounting his horses, the Indians
disappeared, leading their own. And to
his dying day Thompson never knew th

Journalism Twenty Centuries Ago.
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

We see Irom this that it was in oideu

day; we only wish that cur officials
would attend to the batchers as well as
Titiuius did. It must be of interest to

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

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

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

"But Providence orders it all f . r the

"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.

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

"Yes, all three."
"And you have uevir made your condi

"Only at the houses I speak of, for a

Sluyter to furnish the couple with a bed,

cook on and some decent food. AVhiie

he hid a buudle under his arm, and

"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."
