To show what an Indian can stand, when he has to, I may tell of an incident which happened during the Winter I was with them. Towards evening, on a very cold Winter day, when it was snowing just a little and drifting a great deal, an Indian came to the log house with a jug half full of whiskey and with his rifle. I imagine that the jug had been entirely full of whiskey when he started and by the time he got to the house he was in rather a jolly condition, The jug and the rifle were taken away from him and he was ordered to get to his wig- wam as quick as he could before darkness came on. He left, and was supposed to have gone to the camp, but early next morn- ing his squaw appeared at the house and said he had not come home'that night, and as the night was very cold she had been anxious about him. Then the search for the lost Indian began. He was found in one of the sheds near the barn, under a heap of drifted snow, and the chances are that the snow that was above him had help- ed to save his life. The searchers for the Indian had gone in different directions, and it was his own squaw who, with true Indian instinct, had tracked him out, and she was alone when she found him. Ap- parently the Indian was a frozen corpse. She tumbled him out of his snow bank and pulled off his blankets, and dragged him down to the creek, Where a deep hole was cut in the ice for the purpose of watering the cattle. Laying the Indian out on the snow she took the pan that was beside the ice-hole and, filling it repeatedly, dashed pailful after pailful of ice water over the body of the Indian. By the time the other unsuccessful searchers had returned she had her old man thawed out and seated by the fire wrapped up in blankets. There is no ques- tion that if he had been foundby the others and had been taken into the house frozen as he was he would have died. Massacre of Chinese in Formosa. The last mail from China brings news of the massacre of a force of Chinese troops in Southern Formosa by the aborigines now in revolt there. The natives, or savages as they are called, aided, it is said, by a number of half castes, planned an ambuscade. Putting on their sandals reversed they made a number of tracks connected with a particu- lar spot. Messengers were then dispatched to the nearest Chinese post with news of an out break and an appeal for assistance. The troops went out, the commanding officers, it is said, being considerably in the rear. Pretended sufferers by the raid ap- peared from time to time. On reaching the tracks the soldiers followed them up and fell into the trap, when all but a very few were killed. Out of 200 which left the post only ten escaped. It is reportrd that, for the first time in the history of Formosa, all the aboriginal tribes are banded together and act on an organized system. Thus the eigh- teen tribes of Bhotans in the south, number- ing about 5,000 warriors, were concerned in this ambush. Shortly after the disaster the Chinese issued proclamations offering $10 reward for the return of each of the guns lost on the occasion, and consequently the Chinese General began negotiations, in which he was greatly hampered by the bad faith shown on many previous occasions to the natives. At last, and with many pre- cautions on the part of the latter, a meet- ing was arranged, and a peace was patched up for the time by means of large presents and larger promises to the chiefs. The past is forgotten, and the savages are °to live on terms of friendship with their Chinese neighbors. From subsequent in- formation, however, it appears that the disturbances in the south of the island have broken outwith more violence than before. 8.

Timothy or herb grass is the most common grass of continental Europe, growing wild throughout all that vast region between the Mediterranean sea on the south and the North sea in the direction the name implies. It is not known exactly when it was first in- troduced into the United States, but this much is known : it takes its name from Timothy Hanson, a farmerof Maryland, who brought it into general notice as a hay grass after he had cultivated it extensively for his own use for years. The botanical name for the grass is phleumpratense. It isa curious fact that although its nativehome is Europe, the United States is the first country in which it was grown, cut, and cured for hay. Not longerago than 1785 some timothy heads and seeds were taken to England and exhi- bited as curiosities. 4. The width of a shoe need be no more than is necessary to cover the bearing sur- face. 5.

Horse Shoeing. At a. conference of horses-shoes recently held in London, Eng., the following rules we_re adopted :‘ How Timothy Grass was Named A TOUGH INDIAN. Tea in the Azores. The political situation in the Southern States has assumed a very unexpected char’ acter. Goaded to desperation by the false- ness and dishonesty of their party leaders, who when once elected failed to keep their pledges, the long suffering and patient negro voters have at length decided upon a, course of action which, if carried out, will result in the political death of present members of Congress, and will have a farâ€"reaching effect upon the Republican party. Conventions of negroes have recently been held at Greens- borough, N. C. , and Richmond, Vit., at which it was resolved to adopt the policy of abstinence from voting as the only feasible means of enforcing their demands, and com- pelling their party leaders to keep faith with them. An intelligent negro, who parâ€" ticipated in these conventions, writes to a representative at \Vashington as follows: “We deliberated a long time before taking this step. But when we analyzed the vote on the Blair billvâ€"a measure to which our leade1s had so solemnly pledged themselv es â€"â€"and found that, including pairs, nineteen Republicans voted against it, we resolved to trust them no longer. \Ve are unable finan- cially to carry on an agggressive movement to enf01 cc 0111 demands, cv e11 if we had the twining and expe1ience necessaly for such procedule, which we sadly lack; but we know that without the votes of colored men the Republican Party cannot succeed North or South, and, therefore, that abstinence from voting is our true policy, inasmuch as we are able to carry out that plan without money and without leaders. Our votes being missed in one or two national campaigns will be sufficiently appreciated for the future to bring forth measures for our benefit. We have learned how great is the need of our support, and we mean to teach our rulers that it can no longer be had on a credit, since they in\ aliahly go into political bank- ruptey as soon as they have got it, and pay us off 111 b1 oken p10mises._’ Had these rccreant and false representa» tives, so ready to promise but so slow to perform, paid more serious attention to the authomtive declaration “Be sure your sin will find you out,” they might have saved themselves the trouble and humiliation that are apparently coming upon them. It is to be hoped that, having taken their stand. these sable sons will remain firm, that no honeyed speeches or fair promises will in- duce them to recede from their position; for only by making their importance felt are they likely to receive that attention which is their due. An Accident to a Young Elan on the Lake St. John Railway. QUEBEC, May 8.â€"â€"Another serious accid- ent has occurred on the Lake St. John rail- way at Beaudet station, about sixty miles north of Straymond, to Ovide Lacombe, aged 22 years. It appears that the unfortu- nate man replaced a. companion, who was unfit for work, and was in the act of coup- lin cars at Beaudet station, when he slipped am? fell between them. The train passed over his leg, terribly crushing it A loco- motive was prepared, and the young man placed on board and brought to the city. When the locomotive reached Straymond, Dr. Gendreau got on bomd and accompanied young Lacombe to the city, where he was met by the Hotel Dieu ambulance, and con- veyedy to that institution. Dr. Ahearn was in attendance, and with Dr. Gendreau did all he could for the sufferer, but it was decided to amputate the leg from the thigh as the only means of saving his life. A painful coincidence is that young Lacombe was vsith the deceased William Wanning when he met with an accident on the same road a short time ago, which resulted in his death, and assisted to convey him to the same hospital in Quebec The victim of yesterday’s accident was insured against accidents for $1, 000. Stanley’s Reception in England. As one reads the account of the tremen- dous ovation given to H. M. Stanley on Saturday when he reached England, one hardly knows whether to envy the great explorer or not. Says the correspondent of the New York Times: There must have been more that one occasion to-day when Henry M. Stanley mentally wished himself back in the equatorial jungle again. African exploration can hardly offer an experience better calculated to stagger the most intre- pid and resolute of men than was the crowd» ing, cheering and wildly clamoring welcome with which London this evening confounded the overwhelmed rescuer of Emin. Noth- ing in his past career can have prepared him for the ordeal of lionisation which yawned before him from the white cliffs of Dover this afternoon, and which literally engulfed him when his train drew into Victoria Sta- tion here in London two hours later. No visiting potentate ever drew such a huge crowd as the one assembled at Dover from all parts of the south coast, with a large London contingent as well, to welcome the arrival of the steamer.” “'hile this must be gratifying to Stanley’s vanityâ€"and it is possible that he is not entirely raised above such feelingsmthe ordeal which is before him will not conduce to steady nerves and good digestion, provided he takes in all the dinners and banquets that are said to be awaitinghim during the next few weeks. Dates are already announced for some dozen dinners or receptions, but twice as many others, including a Savage Club dinner and a Lord Mayor’s banquet, are still open. It is to be hoped however that the man who ran the gauntlet of savage foes, will come out un- harmed by the kindness of those who wish him every good. A certain comic singer, now touring in the Antipodes, relates that during an engage- ment at a prominent London music hall, after singing a. song entitled, “Balaclava,” one night he received an invitation to a private box. On entering it a whiteâ€"haired, poker-backed gentleman introduced himself as General Sir George Wombwell, and his companions as Lords Fife and Lurgan, and then went on to say, “ I have sent for you, sir, in reference to your song of ‘Balaclava,’ which I have now heard you sing four times. You say ‘Four hundred gallant Englishmen fell fighting where they stood.’ That, sir, is incorrect. I took part in that charge, and allow me to tell you, sir, that we never stood, sir, never, but rode like the devil.” “Rode” was substituted for “stood” on the following evening. In trying to teach children a great deal in a short time they are treated, not as though the race they were to run was for life, but simply a mile heat. The Negroes in the Southern States. HIS LEG AMPU’I‘ATED. A few I’oinln's for the Angler for the Speckled Beauties. Thé open season for trout commenced on Thu1sdny,thc lstinst.,a11d,thexefore a few suggestions regal «ling the tackle for catching the beautiful fish will not come amis. It often happens that the angler While on the stream or in camp in a big woods at a. great distance from a settlement finds that the trout are jumping after a nut ‘ 1 fly, an imitation of which his flyhook (mic not contain, says a writer in the New York Times. It is curious how freaky these game fish will be at times. Nothing then will satisfy him but the fly that he is looking for. 1sz bright yellow fly has hatched and swarms over the water the trout are not going to pay much attention to the artificial black grub that is offered to them by the artistic fly tosser. For this reason a. little know~ ledge of the method of tying flies is often of much use, and will procure for the fisherâ€" man many a nice fish. To learn to tie a fly is not a difficult matter. Of course, to make neat, fine ones requiresconsidel‘able patience, and perhaps a little knack. But on these occasions, when the trout are jumping for one species only, they will not stop to ex~ amine the workmanship of the fly. The natural insects are not always perfect. The fish sees the right gleam of color and up he shoots at it. The pursuit of “ the grand sport” of tiger hunting in India has brou ht to the front a. lady tiger-killer of great s ill and prowess in the person of Mrs. Evans Gordon. This fearless lady, as a member of a recent Conch- Behar hunting expedition, shot an angry tigress who was rushing viciously upon the party, and was actually within a few yards of her elephant’s trunk. Her shot, we are told, was as well~timed as it was well- aimed, for the other guns engaged, including that of the lady’s husband, Major Evans Gordon, had failed to stop the furious brute. This brilliant achievement adds one more to the many laurels and trophies already won by this dauntless lady in the hunting grounds of Cooch-Behar. When an angler wishes to learn to tie a fly, his best plan is to visit a fishing tackle store and obtain permission from the proprietor to be allowed to watch one of the girls making up the bins of feather and silk. If she is in good humor, in a few moments she can give enough hints to make a. presentable specimen himself. To be ready for tying it fly in camp or on the stream, a, little box 01 muterlal must be taken along. A pair of spring pliers, a damning needle, and a pair of scissors or a sharp knife are essential. Two or three lumps of wax and some:st1‘ong tying silk are indispensable. Of the inaterial to Tnake the bodies of the fly, a liberal supply of hackles, a little roll of gold and silver tinsel, some floss or dubbing, several colors of silk, and a liberal supply of hooks and strong gut or snells are needed. Many experienced anglers who find that trout are not rising freely to a. fly will open the mew of a fish and try to ascertain what style of food they are taking. Often a. clew to the right fly is thus gained. To catch a. few with bait for examination of that kind is considered legitimate among expert fly casters. With the materials spread before on a camp chair, or the table on which meals are taken in camp, the angler begins his work by waxing a piece of wrapping silk. From a point near the bend of the hook three or four turns areimde along the shank of the hook. Upon the silk on the .shank of the hook the snellis placed. To dent it a bit with the teeth is a. good plan to make it hold the more firmly. This is then wrap ed on tightly down to the starting point. ’ est it to see that it will not pull out. Next, the floss, which is to make the body of the fly, is tied on, and with the tying silk is wrapped down to the end of thehook. Here it is secured, and then the hackle to be used is tied on; the under part of the haekle' should be placed uppermost, so the back will be wound next to the hook. Most flyâ€" tiers place the spring pliers on the end of the hackle, which will straighten it out by their weight while the winding is in progress. All the materials for fly-tying can be car- ried in a small tin box and will not take up much room in the camp baggage. For the stream a limited quantity of silks and feathers and hackles can be carried in one of the compartments of the fly-book. In five minutes the fly can be made, and the angler can return to camp at night with a nice string of fish that will surprise his com- panions. Nonconformist London is agitated by the revival of the old quarrel between the Rev. Dr. Parker, who once aspired to be Rev. H. W. Beecher’s successor in the Brooklyn Tabernacle and the Rev. Charles Spurgeon, the great Baptist minister. Dr. Parker, who is of the World worldly, has grave fears for Mr. Spurgeons soul and accuses himof driving young men into infidelity, distraction, and flespairby his uncompromis- in preaching of the extreme doctrines of Crfivinism. By way of proving the quality of his own Christian charity Dr. Parker winds up hisletter by warning M 1'. Spurgeon that he is surrounded by flatterers, and exhort- ing him “to scatter his ecclesiastical harem. ” Mr. Spurgeon is not in the habit of submit- ting quietly to this sort of thin , and big congregations assemble in his abemacle every Sundayto Witness the castigation of Brother Parker. SBmetimesa hackle isvrun all the way down the hook. In most flies it is wound just a. little distance. It is secured ht?“ turn or two of wrapping silk. The usnll loop is made with the wrappin silk, and the usual invisible knot, as mafia in tying on snells, is made. This is all that is neces~ sexy for f1 haekle fly. Iii trying the other varieties, the larger and more variegated the fly the more there is to be done. A wing has to be tied on, the tinsel wound spirally around the body of floss, and two or three tail tips have to be put in. The general principle followed out is the same. It is a good plan to bear in mind that the material used should be tied on early in the process of making the fly. The wings are tied in after the hackle is finished. A portion of a feather is taken and doubled so as to make wings, the feather is laid upon the back of the hook, with the tips toward the bendâ€"â€"or it may be reversed from that positionâ€"a turn of silk is made to fasten it, and then it is bent back into shape and again wrapped by the tying silk. \Vhen the thread is cut a drop of shellac is put on the head. Of course there are lots of methods varying in slight'details among different flymakers. A little practice will show which way suits the amateur best. FISHING FOR TROUT.
