OM«f the Mont Obstinate and Murderous •' «fO» Revolution. t\- • , About two miles west of Oriskany the at * v toed «u oomed by a deep semi-cireu- r, , t lw ravine, concave toward the east. F \ The bottom of this ravine was a swamp, ^ - - across which the road was carried by a causeway of logs, and the steep banks on either side were thickly covered with trees and underbrush. The practiced ' eye of Thayenianegea at once perceived * V the rare advantage of such a position, and an ambuscade was soon prepared '1 with a skill as deadly as that which LJ-,' / once had wrecked the proud army of 1^; ' Braddock. But this time it was a meet- '£§'••• ing of Greek with Greek, and the wiles fiff- f of the savage chief were foiled by a des- perate valor which nothing could over- lvJS / come- By 10 o'clock the main body of £&;, - Herkimer's army had descended into ; the ravine followed by the wagons, while the rear-guard was still on the fv rising ground behind. At this moment t•( . they were greeted by a murderous v volley from either side, while Johnson's ,, Oreens came charging down upon them j in front, and the Indians, with frightful ' yells, swarmed in behind and cut off the StM'rear-guard, which was thus obliged to p?';?,* retreat to save itself. For a moment the main body was thrown into con- fet. '• fusion, but it soon rallied and formed it- it: - " self in a circle, which neither bayonet charges nor musket fire could break or penetrate. The scene which ensued was one of the most infernal that the history of savage warfar^ has eyer wit­ nessed. The dark ravine was filled ; with a mass of fifteen hundred human Wt beings, screaming and cursing, slipping in the mire, pushing and struggling, 1seizing each other's throats, stabbing, shooting, and dashing out brains. Bodies of neighbors were afterwards il s» found lying in the bog, where they had gone down in a death grapple, their Jif f cold hands still grasping the knives plunged in each other's hearts, £\fi Early in the fight a musket-ball slew > Herkimer's horse, and shattered his own : i leg just below the knee; but the old s v hero, nothing daunted, and bating nofch- ing of his coolness in the midst of the horrid struggle, had the saddle taken y n from his dead horse and placed at the •^v1 toot of a great beech tree, where, taking :,fr his seat and lighting his pipe, he con- ^ tinued shouting his orders in a sten- ;; torian voice and directing the progress .v of the battle. Nature presently en- hanced the lurid horror of the scene. S The heat of the August morning had i&j/ been intolerable, and black thunder- ^ clouds, over hanging the deep ravine at '•IffX' the beginning of the action, had en- veloped'it in a darkness like that of night. Now the rain came pouring in jp; torrents, while gusts of wind howled I??through the tree-tops, and sheets of lightning flashed in quick succession, with a continuous roar of thunder that drowned the noise of the fray. The Wet rifles could no longer be fired, but hatchet, knife, and bayonet carried on the work of butchery, until, after more than five hundred men had been killed Xor wounded,. the'Indians gave way and fled in all directions, and the Tory soldiers, disconcerted, began to retreat r|| up the western road, while the patriot army, remaining in possession of the "fl/ hard-won field, felt itself too week to f ^ pursue them. At this moment, as the storm cleared away, and long rays of sunshine began flickering through the wet leaves, the sound of three signal-guns came boom­ ing through the air, and presently a sharp crackling of musketry was heard from the direction of Fort Stanwix. Startled by this ominous sound, the Tories made all possible haste to join their own army, while the patriots, bearing their wounded on litters of green boughs, returned in sad procession to Oriskany. With their cammander helpless, and more than one-third of their number slain or disabled, they were in no condition to engage in a fresh conflict, and unwillingly confessed that the garrison of Fort Stanwix must be left to do its part of the work alone. Upon the arrival of the messengers, Col. Gansevoort had at once taken in the whole situation. He understood the mysterious firing in the forest, saw that Herkimer must have been prema­ turely attacked, and ordered his sortie instantly, to serve as a diversion. The Bortie waa a brilliant success. Sir John Johnson, with his Tories and Indians, was completely routed and driven across the river. Col. Marinus Willet took possession of his camp, and held it while seven wagons were three times loaded with spoil and sent to be un­ loaded in the fort. Of all the battles of the Revolution, this was perhaps the most obstinate and murderous. £ach side seems to have lost not less than one-third of its whole number; and of those lost, nearly all were killed, as it was largely a hand-to- hand struggle, like the battles of ancient times, and no quarter was given on either side.--John Fiske, in Atlantic Monthly.

He cited the well-known fact thut the fatality among miners era- plowed in the CrOwn Point and Belcher is due to the upj>er levels of these mines being constantly filled with quartz dust, which has plaved havoc with the young men employed there during the past five years. The doctor referred to christened the disease "quartz dust con­ sumption," and says the only remedy for it is to emigrate to moister climates like Oregon or Washington Territory or locate "on sands that are salt from the kiss of the sea." The preventive is to keep the streets thoroughly wet down and to cease ballasting them with quartz.--I"urginia (Nev.) Chromfe!#, '.'.J » The Konrbask. •••vL:* The old saying, "It is hard to teach an old dog new tricks," is verified by the difficulty the English have found in abolishing the kourbash in Egypt. It is a time-honored Egyptian institution, for the whip and the stick appear in the paintings in the oldest Egyptian tombs. The English, very properly, thought it brutal and degrading to use a stick for extracting taxes from unwill­ ing taxpayers, or true testimony from reluctant witnesses. They, therefore, ordered the total and immediate aboli­ tion of the kourbash throughout Egypt. The decree has made the use of the stick illegal, but the Egyptian peasants regard its abolition as a doubtful bless­ ing. Canon Taylor gives, in his "Egyp­ tian Note-boo," an amusing illustration of the peasants' opinion of the reform. Hi3 donkey-boy, a well-to-do married man of 40, said to him one evening: Master, you want me to-morrow? My brother Hassan, all same we, gb along you." " Well, Mahomet," replieithe Canon, "I don't mind taking.Hassan to-morrow; but why can't you go yourself, as usual ?" "Me got plenty business to-morrow,-- very 'ticklar business. Me not gb to­ morrow, if my master not mind." "Well, what sort of business is it that is so particular ?" "Me want to go to prison." Mahomet had been fiued sixty piastres fthree dollars), with the alternative of two days' imprisonment, for allowing his donkeys to stand at some forbidden spot in Cairo. If the Canon would con­ sent to take his brother Hassan, he, Mahomet, would go to prisbn "and save the piastres; but rather than let the job go out ofthe family he would pay the ' money. v " Mr. Taylor agreed to take Hassan, and Mahomet went to poison. When he came out, Canon Taylor asked him about the old times, when the Btick wds used. He would then, he said, have had a dozen strokes a$ the kourbash, and the whole business would have been over in ten minutes. He preferred the, kourbash to either the fine or the prison. Moreover his wife had insisted on the piastres being saved, and she had re­ warded her good man's compliance by taking to him in prison the best dinner he had eaten for many weeks. An Egyptian peasant does not like the application of the stick to the soles of his naked feet, but he likes even less to pay fines or taxes. In the old days a fellah with plenty of , money thought himself bound to take a certain number of strokes before paying his taxes. He also knew that if he payed them forth­ with, his wife would be likely to admin­ ister the stick herself to express her contempt for her husband's wont.of frugality and courage. The Futare of C'auada. If i*ae would ^forecast the future of Canada, he neeus to take a wider view than personal preferences or the agita­ tions of local parties. The railway de­ velopment, the Canadian Pacific alone, has changed within five years the pros­ pects of the political situation. It has brought together the, widely separated provinces, and has given a new impulse to the sentiment of nationality. It has produced a sort of unity which no act of Parliament could ever create., But it has done more than this; it has changed the relation of England to Canada. The Dominion is felt to be a much more im­ portant part of the British Empire than it was ten years ago, and in England within less than ten years there has been a revolution in colonial policy. With a line of fast steamers from the British Islands to Halifax, with lines of fast steamers from Vancouver to Yoko­ hama, Hong-Kong, and Australia, with an all-rail transit, within British limits, through an empire of magnificent Capac­ ities, offering homes for any possible British overflow, will England regard Canada as a weakness? It is true that on this continent the day of dynasties is over, and that the people will'determine their own place. But there are great commercial forces at work that cannot be ignored, which seem strong enough to keep Canada for a long time on her present line of development in a British connection.--Charles Dudley Warner, in Harpers Magazine. Quartz Dirt Consumption. Jk local physician says the prevalence ltere of coughs, hoarseness, and phlegm expectoration is not produced from tak­ ing cold, but from inhaling fine par­ ticles of quartz dust, with winch the air has been filled for several months. These particles are carried into the lungs and throat and cause irritation, and the frequent coughing is the inef­ fectual effort of nature to rid the sys­ tem of the foreign particles.

Making a meat Newspa You must visit the office of the great- New York papers in the evening you would get an idea of the colossal enter­ prises. There you see about fifty re­ porters with their news all ready for print in their hands. Each one in turn passes before the heads of the various departments, political, literary, dra­ matic, etc. "What have you?" asks an editor to the first reporter who presents himself. "An interview with Sarah Bernhardt." "Very good. Half a column. And what have you?" he says, turning to the second. "A report of John Smith the banker's case." "Right. One column. And you?" "I have an account of the President's forthcoming journey to the South." "What have you for us this evening?" says the editor to his correspondent in Berlin. . , , "Bismarck threatens %to sen<| fat his resignation." * "One column."

"What's-his-name, the financier, has made off," ticks the wire from Chicago. "A column. Send report and start on scent of the fugitive." When the telegraph has ceased tick­ ing and the crowd of reporters have de­ parted, the chief editor, like a ship's captain, the last to leave the desk, works on. He reads over everything, sifts, corrects, cuts down, adds to, puts all in order, and towardis 2 o'clock iu the morning gives the order to print, and goes home.--Max O'liell. Pensions for Postal ClerEs. The last and greatest need of the postal service is the total and complete elim­ ination of partisan considerations as affecting appointments and removals in the working force. The spoils method invariably brings into the service a lot of do-nothings or a race of experi­ menters, whose performances never fail to breed disaster and to crush out sub­ stantial progress. It is due to President Cleveland to state that toward the close of his administration he recognized the importance of permanency in the Rail­ way Mail Service, and that he made a long step in advance by approving a series of rules submitted by th^ Citril Service Commission having tyrjjts ob­ ject the removal of the S9rvice Trom the influences of politicians. It needs more than this, however; it needs the sanc­ tity of the statute laws, declaring that the clerks should not only keep their of­ fices during good behavior, but that after twenty years of faithful and effi­ cient service, or before that time, if in­ jured in the discharge of their duty, they should retire on half pay. In case of death from accident while on duty, proper provisions should be made for the family of the official. Whenever justice is done by Congress in these particulars the United States will have the best and most efficient Railway Mail Service in the world.--Gen. Thomas. STANLEY'S WRATH. Some Rtper1fnce« of the C**lel>r»t*d Xap- . plorer of the Dark Continent. In the year 187J} Mr. Bradford, re­ turned from his Greenland explorations, was in London publishing his sumptu­ ous volume on "The Arctic Regions." It was brought out under the patronage of Queen Victoria at $125 per copy. At this time he met Stanley, who was in a towering rage. "He waa just back," said the artist, "from finding Living­ stone, and was now very angry at the cavalier way in which he had been treated about publishing lus book through Murray. It seems that John Murray was away, and the partner pres­ ent had received Stanley quite non­ chalantly, and said he was not quite sure whether they could publish his book or not, and, anyway, nothing could be done about it until Mr. Murray's re­ turn. I said to him: 'Mr. Stanley, are you particular to have Murray publish your book?' 'No.' 'Well, I can tell you of some very good publishers, who, I think, would be glad to publish it, and that is the firm of Sampson Low & Co. They are publishing my book, and, I think, would be glad to get hold of yours. If you wish, I will see them about it.' 'Do so, Mr. Bradford. Ill be glad to have you.' "So I went down and saw Mr. Mars- ton of the firm and said to him: 'Mr. Marston, wpuld you like to publish Stanley's new book on Africa?' 'Yes, sir, indeed we would; but I thought Murray was going to have it.' 'No, I guess not. W ould you like to see Mr. Stanley?' 'Certainly, sir.' 'Very well, I'll bring him. down this afternoon.' As I was going out he said: 'Mr. Bradford, do you suppose that Mr. Stanley is ready to consider au offer for his book ?' 'I think so, sir.' "1 took Stanley down to see them, and Mr. Marston asked him if he was prepared to consider an offer then and there. 'Yes, sir.' 'Well, Mr. Stanley, we will give you $10,000 for it and' a liberal share of the profits.' " " 'I'll do it,' said Stanley. And a happier man you've seldom seen. 'Now, Mr. Stanley,' said Marston, 'wheu can you begin to furnish us copy ?' 'To­ morrow morning, sir, and every day thereafter till it's done.' 'Just one word more, Mr. Stanley. Will you please say nothing about this for four weeks? I've a special reason for asking.' 'Yes, sir; that suits me,' said Stanley. And so the bargain was closed, and Sampson Low & Co. have been Stanley's pxib-- lishers ever since. "A few weeks later Stanley went to see John Murray, and the following con­ versation occurred: 'Mr. Murray, I've come to see about your publishing my book. Do you wish to?' 'Yes, I think that we may be able to Mr. Stanley. But we cannot afford to give you much for it, as it is a kind of experiment. But we'll publish it, Mr. Stanley.' " 'No, you won't,' broke in Stanley, with an oath, and, turning on hi9 heel, left the great English publisher as­ tounded at the young African explorer's audacity. "On another occasion," says Mr. Brad­ ford, "I was sitting at a great banquet of the British association at Brighton. It was in the evening after the 'African afternoon,'so called. Stanley had been down for a speech late in the afternoon, after several English geographers had spoken. But I noticed during the sec­ ond speech, by C. R. Markliam of the Royal Geographical Society, that Stan ley's wrath was rising. The speaker in alluding to Livingstone had just said a word reflecting upon him. As soon as Mark ham was done, Stanley, at two bounds, was in the center of the plat­ form, and, leaning forward and stretch­ ing r.-it his forefinger with concentrated •»cora toward Markham, began: 'You easy chair geographers, sitting on your cushioned velvet carpets, what do you know about it? Livingstone, after a long, arduous, perilous march, says: "I think I have found the source of the Nile." But you, from the seclusion'of your libraries, declare; "We know that he has not." What right have you to decide such a question ?' And then he (gave it to them hot. And yet in fifteen minutes he had them all, ladies and gentlemen, on their feet crying 'Hear! hear! hear!' The Baroness Burdett- Coutts waved her handkerchief, and even the Emperor Napoleon, who was present with the Empress Eugenie, arose and handed Stanley their card. I tell you, Stanley was the most scathing man I ever listened to when he was mad over Livingstone. "So, in the evening, before going to the banquet, I said to him: 'Now, Stan­ ley, keep your temper. Don't disgrace vourself. Don't say a word to-night.' fror I knew this very Markam was going to preside. Well, Stanley promised, that he wouldn't say one word. But they placed him at Markham's right hand. I sat across the table where I could see him. Pretty soon I noticed that he and Markham were talking earnestly. Then the bull-dog look came into Stanley's face, and then he jumped up and off he went. "It seems that Markham had urged him to speak, but Stanley had declined, when the following conversation ensued: 'But, Mr. Stanley, you must speak. That is the purpose for which they in­ vited you here.' 'Is that the reason they invited me here?' 'Certainly, Mr. Stanley; we expect you to favor us with a speech.' 'Well, I won't.' 'But'-- thrusting hand deep into his pocket --'here's a guinea for my dinner.' And off he stalked in a towering rage."

Hence the eohunns of the newspapers are daily used by hostel of advertisers, and fn the competition WMeh is Indulged in to attain the desired end, the reader te oftentimee amused. The greatest of American advertisers, and it may as well be said i& the world, is H. H. Warner, ot Rochester, N. Y.. whose name has been made everywhere familiar in connection with "Warner's Safe Cure, widely advertised because ot its merit in the prevention and cure of kidney diseases. By printers' ink this greet -Jiscovery has achieved world-wide popularity, and thou­ sands feel grateful for the knowledge thus acquired of this greatest of modern reme­ dies. Furthermore, the public has been taught that disorders of the lungs, brain, heart, and liver which have hitherto been regarded and treated by the profession as distinctive diseases are not so In fact, but are the at­ tending symptoms of disease of the kid­ neys; therefore, the consumptive, the apo­ plectic, the paralytic, and the sufferer from nervous disorders can be rest ored to health by Warner's Safe Cure, which will remove the true cause of those disorders by re­ storing the kidneys to healthy action. The advertising methods employed by this greatest of advertisers are invariably instructive, and, although the reader may sometimes ba "caught" in reading an adver­ tisement. which was not at first supposed to be such, there is nevertheless no time lost, since useful information is invariably gained concerning life's great problem. X&'i, Criticism as It Should Be. a Jt Western paper, criticising certain poems, observes that "they lack the divine afflatus of the true bard--the redolent ichor of genuine poesy." We have often sought fitting terms with which to express our opinion of much of the poetry sent to this office, and at last we have' found them. Very little of the poetry sent to us contains ichor, and what ichor there is, hardly ever is redolent. It is scarcely necessary for us to say what we think of a man who is so utterly depraved, so hopelessly abandoned, as to write verses without ichor. • j , Deafness Can't Be Cured. .

Old Mr. A. was once the landlord of a cozy inn, after a certain attractive, old-fashioned style, and upon the trav­ eled road between Boston and Hartford. One Sunday afternoon he was sitting in front of his establishment, when two figures loomed up on the horizon, grad­ ually materializing into human shape as they approached. Both men were well dressed, but one of them limped rather infully and carried with him an air of ing generally fagged out. They stopped at the inn and the limping man asked for a room where he might lie down quietly and refresh himself. On the way up stairs he told the landlord that his companion and himself were walking from Hartford to Boston, and that he was suffering greatly from haw­ ing walked so far in new shoes. The landlord left his guest and came down stairs, where, after a little conversation with the other pedestrian, he finally re­ marked : "Well, a man must be a d fool tc start on such a tramp in new shoes!" "Do you know who that man is?" re­ marked the other quickly. No," responded the host. "Who is he?" "That man," replied the other, "is Mark Twain!" "Mark Twain!" retorted the landlord in astonishment. "Then who the devil are you?" "I?" said the guest modestly. "Oh, I am Rev. Mr. TwitohelU"^AT(#«o ; ten Palladium. ( Benefit of a Sponge Bath. A prominent physician, speaking of special baths and their uses, mentions the sponge-bath, the form of bathing where the water is applied to the sur­ face through the medium of cloth or sponge, no part of the body being plunged in the water. He says the practice of systematic daily sponge bathing is one giving untold benefits to its followers. Let a person not over strong, subject to frequent, colds from slight exposure, the victim of chronic catarrh, sore throats, etc., be­ gin the practice of taking a sponge- bath every morning, commencing with tepid water in a warm room (not hot), and following the sponging with fric­ tion that will produce a warm glow over the skin and take five minutes' brisk walk in the open air. See if you do not return with a good appetite, for breakfast. Alter having used tepid for a few mornings, lower the temperature of the bath until, ooh water V be borne with impunity* >'? The Stomach DUttlls Acids. These, if existent in a natural quantity, eod unyitiated by bile, play their part in the func­ tions of digestion and assimilation. But the ar­ tificial acid resulting from the inability of the stomach to convert food received by it into sus­ tenance, is the producer of flatulence and heart­ burn, which are the most harassing symptoms of dyspepsia. The best carminative is Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters, Far more effective is it than carbonate of soda, magnesia, or other alka­ line salts. These invariably weaken the stomach •without producing permanent benefit. No man or woman chronically dyspeptic, and conse­ quently nervous; can be is iKwtwsaion of the full measure of vigor allowed by nature. Therefore, invigorate and regulate the syateiu, and by so doing protect it from malaria, rheumatism, and other serious maladies It is estimated that the increase of population in the United States is 100,- 000 per month, exclusive of immigra­ tion, which last year was 518,000. The present population is estimated to be 64,000,000, and the next census, to be taken in July, 1890, wfll probably give 67.000,000. • .
