Just below tbe Falls of Kanawha, in West Virginia, there is a lofty and over­ hanging rock of immense size, which to this day goes by the name of Van Bib­ ber's Bock; and the incident which thns designated it is one of the wildest and most exciting to be found in the records of backwoods adventure. The rock juts out about a hundred feet ever the seething whirlpool at the foot of the falls, at a height of nearly a hundred feet above the water. The im­ mediate surroundings are wild and pic turesque in the extreme; though the opposite shore is comparatively level, being covered with pastures, meadows and timber, and having a gently shelv irife beach of sand sloping gradually out into the boiling waters, which continue their disturbed and riotous character for many rods below. , Hiram Van Bibber, an enterprising backwoodsman from the eastern part of Virginia, was the first to build a cabin upon this inviting bank of the Kanawha, in the latter part of the last century. Having had much experienoe, and being a bold and independent character, he lost no time in bringing his young wife and two eliiklren to the new home that he had provided for them. Notwithstanding that the region round about swarmed with hostile or semi-hostile Indians, he was unmolested for a year or more; and the land was so fertile that it was not long before a lit tie settlement sprang up, which, with Van Bibber at its head, presented quite & village-like appearance, the settlers building their cabins near together as a mutual protection against the savages, A small Government supply-station was also established, a few miles fur- titer doWn the stream, which added greatly to the general sense of security and repose. Still the wild and rocky region, which included the opposite bank, continued to be occupied by rov­ ing bands of red hunters, who. if not actually hostile, often cast glances of sullen discontent and jealousy upon the fairer portion of their ancient heritage, which the industry and enterprise of the pale-face intruders were swiftly earning to blossom like the rose. Oaptain Van Bibber was the soul and heart of the little settlement. His re nown as a hunter and Indian-tighter was only equaled by his reputation for fair-dealing and worldly prudence; and from the first he was looked upon bjr his neighbors as their natural leader.* Another child was born to him in the bosom of the wilderness. His wife was happy and contented, and his cabin was the abode of frngal thrift and hard' ealmed repose. The only other member of the house­ hold, besides his wife and three chil dren, was a great pet bear called Brownie, which he had captured when a cub, and BO thoroughly tamed that it was accustomed to follow him, unmuz jded, among the cabins like a dog, ap- Erentlv with no inclination to rejoin its ad among the neighboring hills. Indeed, the brute displayed an ex­ ceptional affection for him and his fam­ ily. The officers and soldiers of the little fort often came to witness its trieks and pranks; and "Van Bibber and his bear," was the expression most gen­ erally used by outsiders alluding to our hero. Trouble with the Indians at length arose, which, so far as one tribe--the Bhawnees--was concerned, soon broke cut into open war. The authorities were constantly on the alert, and it be­ came a hazardous experiment for any settler to proceed t^one through the rocks and thickly timbered region on the unfriendly side of the river. This, however, did not pnevent Gapt. Van Bibber from setting out upon a lonely hunting expedition, one April day, in which the adventure befell him that was to give his name to the giant rock, which until then, had been known by its Indian name, Wah-hun-gee-tah, signifying the "Far-away-lookout." A great freshet had so Unshed the Falls of the Kanawha that he did not •enture to cross the river at the point directly below the rapids, and just be­ tween the settlement and tbe great rock. He passed down the stream for a mile or more to a lonely cabin, occu- close to the prepared for fijptitfg. But" Mid yet another shot followed in quick succession; and upon peeping up from his covert, he saw a soore or more of savages cantiouslv but rapidly approaching from different points of the forest. He knew them to be hostile Sbawnees, from the peculiarity of their scanty ooetuiaes, aad thereforo understood that nothing bat his scalp would satisfy their muderous intentions. They had him almost surrounded; there was nothing to do but run for life; so on bringing down the foremost by a well-directed shot, Van Bibber suddenly sprang to his feet and sped over the open plain, escaping the nu­ merous shots that were seut after him, as if by a miracle, and with the entire band in yelling and blood-thirsty pur­ suit. Van Bibber was a famous runner, however, and was under no apprehen­ sion of being overtaken by his enemies, swift of foot as they undoubtedly were. He had long been noted as the strong­ est. fleetest and most formidable hunter of the Kanawha Valley, and nobly did he vindicate his reputation on that eventful day I * He not only acquitted himself so creditably as to keep beyond the range ©f the poor rifles, with which his pur­ suers were armed, but was also enabled to load and fire as he ran, thus causing several of them to bite the dust before they finally drove him to bay, out upon the furthermost point of Wah-kun-gee- tah, the great, jutting rock overlooking the terrible whirlpool at the foot of the falls, and his humble but smiling home on the far opposite bank. Though unable to overtake their fngt- ftive, the Indians had succeeded in baffling all his attempts to reach the river at the point at which he had effect­ ed a crossing in the morning. They had so managed to dictate the direction of his flight as to bring him at last to a final and apparently hopeless stand up on the very edge of this tremendous abyss with obviovsly no choice left him but surrender, or death at their hands. --or an equally fatal plunge into the boiling, cauldron-like whirlpool, far, far below. But even in this desperate strait. Van Bibber did not lose a jot of his oool and collected daring. Sheltering himself behind a small group of stones and bushes, and loading and firing his trusty rifle with wonderful rapidity, he succeeded in keeping the enemy at bay for more than a quarter of an hour, in full view of his wife and friends on the opposite bank of the river. % The Indians, though not venturing out upon the open shelf within range of his terrable marksmanship, clustered along the bushy sides, and even crept down far below the very face of the cliff, yelling like demons in the cer­ tainty of his speedy capture or death. Captain Van Biblier suddenly stopped firing, and for the first time a feeling of despair must have come over him. He had used the last bullet in his pouch, and w»3 no longer capable of defense I The savages soon suspected as much and began to swarm over the top of the rock in full view, with revengeful cries. But at this instant, when he was about giving himself up for lost, A clear, encouraging cry came floating to him from far across the yawning abyss, making itself distinctly heard above the roaring of the waters. It was a wo­ man's voice--liis wife's. "I'm coming under the rock in the ca­ noe !" she cried. "Leap and meet me! He turned and looked in the direc­ tion from which the summons had come, dazed and bewildered--for such a leap had never been made, nor even contemplated before. But tho heroic woman was already in the canoe, paddle in hand, having laid her baby on the grassy bank and rushed to the rescue in spite of the op­ position of her neighbors, who looked upon her husband as already doomed, aud regarded her attempt to navigate the boiling waters of the whirlpool as^ simple madness. But she pushed off, and just as she did so, Brownie, the pet bear, clambered into the sterif of the canoe, and sat up­ right upon his haunches, keeping his balance perfectly, and really aiding not a little in "trimming boat" and ballast­ ing it, as it were, throughout the wild voyage. As Mrs. Van Bibber succeeded in reaching the center of the stream, di­ rectly under the ledge of rock, her husband's foes were almost upon him. "Wife, wife!" he shouted, "drop down a little lower. I'm coming!" With this, and with the clutches of the Indians almost closing upon him, he sprang from the crag, and descended like a plummet into the water, feet fore­ most. In an agony of suspense, liis wife rested from her toil for a moment, watching for him to rise to the surface, the canoe bobbing about like a cockle­ shell upon the angry flood, and the pet bear eyeing his mistress affectionately, as though fully sympathizing with her distress. It was only a moment, but' an awful one,--it seemed an age to her. Wonld her husband ever rise? Her earnest gaze seemed to penetrate the very depths of the turbid water,-- and then, with a joyous, thankful cry. she darted the canoe further down the stream. He rose to the surface quite near to her, and was enabled to scramble into the little craft without assistance, amid a shower of bullets, that was poured after him by the baffled Indians,---not one of which, howevar, harmed either him or his wife. Then, seizing the paddle fromW hands, he swung the craft around, turn­ ing Brownie's back to the hostile bank, and paddled swiftly out of range of the shots that were still showered after hint. But it is more than likely that poor Brownie had much to do with the im­ munity with which his master and mis­ tress were permitted to draw ont of SILKS are weighted by dyee and adul terated by "shoddy" silks and cotton. The best simple test of silks consists in boiling a sjkmplein water half an hour. If it retain its substance, it is not over­ weighted with dye. AN extremely simple way of orna­ menting the square of flannel w hich you put over baby in his carriage is to crochet a row of open work and .a small scollop on the edge, and run a bright ribbon through the open spaces. FOB a largetfamily of children always set two dishes on the table of any such articles as bread, preserves, butter or cake. This will save a great deal of de­ lay in serving, and save mnch running to and fro to refit 1 empty dishes. PRETTY school-bags may bo made out of a piece of dark merjpo. The under side may be of merino or some other material embroidered with the mono­ gram of the owner on the outside in floss silk and lined with silesia, putting an inside pocket on both sides. A HANDSOME handkerchief case is made of crimson plush with satin lin­ ing of the same color. On the upper side put a spray of rosebuds and leaves in ijbbon embroidery. The case should be in shape like the two covers of a book, and should tie with a ribbon of the same color as the case. THERE is a choice possible in almost all the affairs of life, even in so trifling a matter as purchasing a honey-comb quilt; for instance, t^re are the old- fashioned quilts with no particular patterns-all blocks and squares--and the greatly improved ones which are now made, with a pretty center-piece and a border. By all means choose the lat­ ter. A PRETTY bag to hold cards is made by taking two squares of pasteboard of the same size and covering them with satin; on the upper part of the outside one put on a lid of velvet or plush; finish the edge with a cord, and hang by narrow ribbons. The back need not be covered with satin; silesia of the same color can be used. The bag should be lined. THE high-chair for the baby is al­ ways too large at first; this is a wise provision for growth, but not always a comfortable one, but it may be made so by making a padded covering for the seat and back of the chair. The smaller the child the thicker the cushions should be; thus a chair that is large enough for a child of five may hold an infant of a few months. A SHOE bag is a very handy article for a bedroom. A tasteful one can be made of some pretty chintz. Cut a piece a half yard wide and half a yard long, bind it with scarlet braid, and put on a smaller piece for the pockets, stitching it in three divisions, the smallest in the center for slippers. The most conven­ ient place for this article is to nail it on the inside of the closet door. A GOOD pair of leggings can be made of a pair of long, ribbed, colored wool­ en stockings, which have outrun their original usefulness. They can be util­ ized by cutting off the feet in a sloping way, so that the top part of the foot will be left on and thus form the cover­ ing of the foot. Hem them around, and tack a piece of leather on each side, about the middle of the foot, to keep them in place. 1 Bill Kye Talks to Young Met* f Young man, what are you living for? Have you an object dear to you as life, and without the attainment of which you feel that your life would have been a wide shoreless waste, peopled by the spectres of dead ambition ? You can take your choice in the great battle fit life, whether you bristle up and win a breathless name, or lie satisfied with scabs and mediocrity. Many of those who now stand at the head of the Na­ tion as statesmen and logicians were once unknown, unhocored and unsung. Now they saw the air of the halls of Congress, and their names are plastered on the temple of fame. You can win some laurels too, if yon will brace np and secure them when they are ripe. Live temperately on $9 a month. That's the way we got our start. Get some true, noble minded young lady of your acquaintance to as­ sist you. Tell her of your troubles and she will tell you what to do. She*will gladly advise you. Then you can marry her, and she will advise yon some more. You needn't be ont of advise at all nil- less you want to. She, too, will tell you when you have made a mistake. She will come to yon frankly and acknowl­ edge that yon have made a jackass of yourself. As she gets more acquainted with you she will be more candid with you, and in her unstudied, girlish way, she will point errors, and gradually convince you with an old chair leg and other ar­ guments, that you were wrong, and your past life will come up before you like a panorama, and you will tell her so and she will let up again. Life is indeed a mighty struggle. It is busi­ ness. We can't all be editors and lounge around all the time, and wear good clothes, and have our names in the pa­ pers, and draw princely salaries. Some one must do the work and drudgery of life, or it wont be done. Eied by a hunter named Badcliff, where ^ range. At any rate, when Van Bibl»er e borrowed a canoe, effected a cross­ ing, and fearlessly plunged into the heart of the enemy's country. He had capital sport, and shot a num­ ber of deer and wild turkeys, which he secreted to await a conveyance to his home, when tbe subsiding w aters should enable him to make another trip, on horseback, for that purpose. It was tow vrd the middle of the after­ noon when he started to return home, from which he then found himself about eight miles distant. Up to this time he had not encountered a single red man, or even any signs of their being in his vicinity. Bnt he had no sooner quitted the belt of timber in which he had been hunting, and began to make his way across the broad, rolling and somewhat broken plateau, that lay between him and the precipitous river-bank, than a shot from a ooneealed f00man whistli kie squirrel-skin hnnting-cap. and his wife reached the shore, and were assisted to land by their rejoicing friends, Brownie remained seated mo­ tionless in the stern of the canoe, with his tongue hanging out and his eyes closed. The bear was found to be stark dead. His back was fairly riddled with bul- letH, more than one of which must in­ evitably have reached the human occu­ pants of the canoe but for the chance bulwark that had been present^ by Brownie's tough and shaggy frame. Captain Van Bibber experienced such a shock from his terrific leap that it was many days before he recovered. But he and his wife lived to a green old age, with their family around them, in the same fertile valley. And within the, very shadow of the great overhang­ ing shelf which has ever since borne their name, in deserved commemoration of Van Bibber s leap.--Henry JBard- ing, in Youth'* Companion.

How the rumor originated It is impossible to say, but a reporter immediately sought Dr. S. G. Martin, the gentleman In question, aad secured the following interview: " What about this rumor. Doctor, that you are tro;nxr to make a public statement of- some important, matters}" "Just aboutfbesaaM> a9 yon will And in all rumor*--some truth; some fiction. I had oont<jmplut, d making a publication of some remarkable episodes that have occurred In my life, but have not completed it as yet." " What is the nature Of it, may I Inquirer "Why, the fact that I am a human being instead of a spirit. I have passed, through one of the most wonderful ordeals that per­ haps ever occurred to any man. 1M first in­ timation 1 bad of it was several years ago, when 1 began to feel chilly at night, and rest­ less after retiring, Occasionally this would be varied by a soreness of the muscles and or amps in my arms and legs. I thought, asmost peo­ ple would think, that It was only, a cold, and so paid as litt e attention to it aa possible. Shortly after this 1 noticed a peculiar catarrhal trouble, and my throat also became inflamed. As if this were not variety enough I felt sharp pains in my chest, and a constant tendency to head sche." "Why didn't you take the matter in hand and check it right where it. was?" "Why doesn't everybody do so? Simply because they think it is oniy some triding mud passing disorder. These troubles did not com ? all at once, and I thought it unmanly to heed them. 1 have found, though, that every physical neglect must be paid for and with large interest. Men cannot draw drafts on their constitution without honoring them some time. These minor symptoms I have described grew until they were giant? of ag­ ony. 1 became more nervous; had a Strange fluttering of the heart, an inability to draw a long lirenih and an occasional numbness that was terribly suggestive of paralysis. How I could have been so blind as not to understand what this meant 1 cannot imagine." "And did you do nothings" "Yes, 1 traveled, in tho spring of 1870 I went to Kansas and Colorado, and, while in Denver, I was attacked with a mysterious hemorrhage of the m iliary organs and lost twenty pounds of flesh In three weeks. One day after my return I was taken with a ter­ rible chill and at once advanced to a very se­ vere attack of pneumonia. My left lung soon entirely filled with water and my legs and body became twice their natural size. 1 was obliged to 6it upright in bed for several weeks in the midst of the severest agony, with my arms over my head, and in constant fear of suffocation." < "And did you still make no attempt to save yourselfr" "Yes, I made frantic efforts. I tried every­ thing that seemed to offer the least prospect of relief. 1 called a council of doctors and had them make an exhaustive chemical and microscopical examination of my condition. Five of the best physicians of Syracuse and several from another city said I must die! "it seemed as though t neir assertion was true for my feet became cold, my mouth parched, my eyes wore a flxeJ glassy stare, my body was covered with a colli, clammy death sweat, and I read my fate in the anxious expressions of my family and friends." "Bat the finale/" "Came at last. My wife, aroused to des­ peration, be^an to administer a remedy upon her own responsibility,and while I grew better very slowly, I gained ground surely until, in brief, 1 have no trace of tho terrible Bright's disease from which 1 was dying, and am a perfectly well man. This may sound like a romance, but it Is true, and my life, health and what 1 am are due to Warner's Sate Cure, which I wish was known to and used by the thousands who„ I believe, are suffering this minute as 1 was originally. Does not such an experience as this justify me in makings public statement'.'" "It certainly doss. But, then. Bright' disease is not a common complaint, Doctor." "Not common! On the contrary, it is one of the most ooramon. The trouble is, few people know they have it. It has so few marked symptoms until its final stages that a pereon may have it for years, each year- get' ting more and more in its power aad not sus­ pect it. It is quite natural 1 should feel en­ thusiastic over this remedy, while my wife is even more so than I am. She knows of its being used with surprising results by many ladies for their own peculiar ailments, over which it has singular power." The statament drawn out by tho above In terview is atnpi.v confirmed by very many or our most prominent citizens, among them be.ng Judge Kei'xel and Col. James S. Good­ rich, of the Times, while Gen. Dwi^lit H. Bruce and Rev. Prof. W. P. Coddtngton. D. D., give the remedy their heartiest Indorse­ ment. In this age of wonders, surprising things are quite common, bat an experience eo unusual as that of Dr. Martin's, and occur­ ring here in our midst, may well cause com­ ment and teach a lesson. It shows the ne­ cessity. of guarding the slightest approach of physical disorder and by the means which has been proven the most reliable and efficient. It shows tbe depth to which one can sink and yet be rescued, and it proves that few poopls need suffer if these truths are observed. The Funny Business. "Air ocra the funny man ?" asked a fresh countyy-faced youth ooming into the office the other morning, with a smile on his face and abonta half-dozen on tbe inside of him. "Well, sir," responded the man in the corner, "we try to be." "You git there sometimes. That's what I come in far." "Ah, thanks. Glad to see our efforts appreciated. What can we do for yotx to-day ?" "I'd like to have yon spread yourself thin on a job I've got in hand, and well payyou 25 cent£ a line for it." "You want something in our beat vein, do you?5* •'The best you've got in the shop." "All right, sir; what's the subjectV "We want it for on obituary." "An obituary?" "That's what I said; You see weVe been readin' after you np in our section and we concluded from what we had saw, that if you dqpe like that every day, yon could git up an obituary that'd make the entire community so sad and indigestible like, that the deceased would be a source of grief for the next ten years. Now light into it in your best vein, as you call it, and 111 come around with the money at 5 o'clock," and he was out in the hall before the funny man could throw the scissors at him.--Merchant Traveler.

The Favorite Remedy has been twenty years in use, and it is said that it is pleasant to take, cures in 90 per cent, of cases, and can harm no one. It challenges the fullest comparison as a preventive and curative. It is purely vegetable, non-alco hollo, and can be used with the utmost safety by children and adults. We do not wonder that it has the cordial indorsement of the bsst physicians and the public. j Testing Seeds by Fire. In the purchase of seeds one tit a|> to be deceived. A correspondent of the Journal d'Agriculture Pratique rec ommends a test which he has used for many years with complete success. It is that of tire. Take at random a num­ ber of seeds from the bag; say, eight. Put some live coals on a shovel, and deposit each of the seeds successively thereon. Blow the coal, and watch how the seed behaves. If the combus­ tion is slow, merely giving off some smoke, you may conclude that the seed had a damaged germ; if, on the other hand, the seed leaps and turns about on the coal, producing a dry sound (tac) proportional to the size, it may be inferred to have good germinative qual­ ities. In this way the proportion of good and bad seeds may be ascertained. As for the larger seeds, such as acorns and chcstnuts, it is sufficient to throw them into a fire, and keep them in view, If the quality is good tlus will be indi­ cated ere long by detonation of the seed.

'Tar is highly useful in various details in sheep management, as in some kinds of tropical shelter,and as an application to cuts from clipping and to parts af­ fected by the fly. It serves either alone or in combination with some fatty sub­ stance to protect the sore or diseased feet of cattle from being further in­ jured by wet or abrasion: and when spread upon coarse cloth it is a prime covering for broken horns, and makes an excellent application to various kinds of wounds and punctures in cattle. A mixture of equal parts of tar and tal­ low, by the use of heat, makes a good stopping for disease' feet; and a mix­ ture of equal parts of tar and lard oil is an excellent dressing for hoofs. A liniment,. composed of two parts of tar, two of coeoanut oil, and one of yellow wax, is a good dressing for mange and an efficient detergent in most kinds of scabby, eruptive skin affections in the horse; but requires to be rubbed in with a piece of hair-cloth or with a rather stiff brush. The rectified oil of tar, popularly called the spirit of tar, mixed with twice its bulk of fish oil, wben well rubbed with a brush every night, on both crust and sole, is an em­ inently good application for hardness and brittleness in the horse's feet. The Beoord of the Fairs. The superiority of Wells, Richardson A Oo'S. Improved Butter Color over all others made, is again demonstrated by its record at the Autumnal Fairs. The test of practical use is what tells the story, and the great value of the premiums riven by tbe Agricultural Fain, lies in the* fact, fiat the judges in these cases are regular farmers, who know what their needs are and what will supply them. Wells, Richardson ft Co's Improved Butter Color, wafofe has taken first premium at all fairs where exhibited, Is put up in a vegetable oil so prepared that it cannot become rancid, a most important property, the lack of which is fatal to so many of the Butter-Colors of­ fered lor sale, it does not color the butter­ milk ; it imparts a bright natural color, which is unattained by many others; and being tho strongest is tbe cheapest Color in the market.
