!THE FORGETFUL HUSBAND.

"Oh dear! what shall I do? Thehoop has burst oft" my wash-tu- b, andmy suds arc all over the floor!" saidMrs. Aldcn, in a tone of despond-ency, to her husband, as he came iuto wash his hands at the sink, afteroiling his new horse-rak- e.

"That is bad, Jenny. You willhave to let your washing go till to-

morrow ; then you can borrow Mrs.Seidell's tub."

"But this will all fall to pieces ifit stands, and wc arc expecting com-pany

"I can't help it; I can't stop thework to go oft' with it now. Youmust make hay when the sun shinesif you do at all. Can't you tie it up,so that it will do to-da- y? I shouldthink you might."

"Perhaps so, if yon will help me."What can I lake?"

"Oh, any thing for this time; butreally I ought not to stop a minute."Where is your clothes-line?- "

"The colored clothes are on it, todry."

"Hang them on the fence and let'shave it quick."

So Mrs. Aldcn trotted out andmoved her clothes and took the linedown, while Mr. Alden stood in thedoor and whistled impatiently.

"Do mop up this water, Jenny.How can you stand in such a pud-

dle? There, I forgot to get you anew mop-handl- e but you can makeit go to-da- y, can't you ?"

"I suppose I shall have to. Youpromised to get oue three weeksago, when you broke this."

"I know I did, but I never thinkof it a man has so many thinirs tosee to. There, that will go thisweek ; it doesn't leak much. I don'tknow what made it break."

"The hoop rusted out. The oldtub has done good service; it hasbeen in use 15 years."

"There, confound it! "What didyou leave the wash-boar- d there for?I have broken it all to pieces.'

"Ii is worn out and rotten. I wishyou would get mo ;; now one. I cannever tinker it up again."

"l'ub join cluthc with yourhands; my mother always did, andshe never had a washboard in herlife."

Aldcn marched oil" to the hay-fiel- d,

before he met another catastrophe tolake up his time.

He was hardly out of sight beforea tin peddler's cart etopped at thedoor, containing a collection of allarticles used in a family, from wash-tub- s

down to brooms, mops andpins.

"Anything in the way of trade,Mrs. Alden, to-da- y ?" asked the man.

"Xo, I think not. My husbanddoes not like to buy of peddlers. Hesays I always get cheated."

"Have you not as good a right tohave suitable apparatus to workwith as he has? He has a newhorse-rak- e and a hay-tedde- r, andhis wife is washing in a tub tied upwith a rope, and a wash-boar- d thatlooks as if Noah's wife brought itout of the ark, and a leaky water-pa- il

; a dipper without a handle; abroken mop-handl- e bless me! Mrs.Alden! "What is the use? You hadmore money when you were mar-ried than ho had, and I would havetools to work with that Avere com-

fortable, to say the least. He neverstops to think what a thing costs, ifhe needs it, or if it will make hiswork easier. It tires you more toget along with these things than itdoes to do your work."

Mrs. Alden sat down and lookedthe property over. It was ridicu-lous to get along in this way. Thepeddler was right; she had moremoney than her husband when theystarted life, and she had workedharder than ever he had. She hadmanaged every way to get along andhe never thought she needed anything new or convenient. Her set-

ting out was almost worn out andnothing was ever replaced. "Youmust make it do ; it costs everythingto live!" and so she had draggedalong year alter year, and thingswore out and were not replaced. Abig lump rose in her throat as shesat there thinking.

"What do you ak for your wash-tubs- ?"

she ii.quiiv d at length."Two ilollai'N ior the large ones;

a dollar aud a quarter for the nextsize. Mop-handl- es for a quarter,wash-board- s a quarter, dippers 20

cents, brooms 30.""Hand me down two wash-tub- s, if

you please one of each size; a zincwash-boar- d, too."

"Yes; and a pail and dipper, too?I would have them."

And she did have them, and sun-

dry other necessary things, amount-

ing in all to the little sum of $12.

She paid in barter, such as feathers,rags, eggs, dried apples and butter,and went to work with renewedcourage ; but she knew that her hus-

band would growl at the outlay andexpected a regular tempest at dinner.

She was not disappointed. Bat

she had got the things and was gladof it and couldn't feel very bad. Al-de- u

opened his eyes in astonishment."You paid twice what the things

are worth. I could have boughtthem cheaper. "Wo could have gotalong a while longer."

"I suppose I haye as good a rightto judge of what I need to do mywork as you have to get things tomake your work easy; aud I madeup my mind to-da- y that when Ineeded any thing I should have ithereafter. You know that everyarticle I bought to-da- y was actuallyneeded in the house. You have saidtime and again you would get them,but you never remember it. It is arough place for a woman to be plac-

ed in, to have to do her work andnothing convenient to do it with. Itis like the ancient Israelites, com-

pelled to make bricks without straw,and I am not going to do it any lon-

ger.""All owing to the hoop bursting

off the wash-tu- b ."

"Yes, that was the last feather thatbroke the camel's back ; that and thenew horse-rak- e came too near to-

gether. I could not avoid contrast-ing your conveniences with mine;and you can see yourself how itstood. You have every new ma-

chine that is intended to make farmwork easy, and I have nothing atall."

Mr. Aldcn said no more, but atehis dinner in silence, and the hiredmen exchanged significant glancesat each other. They had thoughtand spoken of the patience whichthe little woman had shown inworking at such a disadvantage, andalways trying to make the best ofwhat she had, and they were heart-ily glad that she had at last mado aprotest against the injustice.

After the day's work was done,Aldcn drove his team down to thevillage, and when he came back hebrought a new stove for the kitchen,a new pump for the cistern and abutter-work- er for the dairy, and hiswife has, since that washing-day- ,fouud that her rough places havebeen smoothed in a most satisfactorymanner. Her good-ma- n had neverthought about it. lie did not meanto be unjust, but he didn't think !

A Crystalizcd Woman.Another very remarkable instance,

we arc informed, has just come tolight as to the preserving or petri-fying effects of nitrate of soda. Awell-know- n and influential city firm,who have extensive connectionswith South American planters, min-

ers, etc., have recently received fromPeru a curiosity in the shape ofwhat may be termed a crystalizcdfemale body, which, a3 their cor-

respondents advise them, was someshort time since discovered by a setof miners at Pisague, in that country, completelyimbcdded in one ofthe great nitrate of soda depositspeculiar to the district. The bodyis described as having the appear-ance of a petrified mummy, and isstated to be iu a singular state ofpreservation. This curiosity hasalready been seen by some of ourbest known naturalists and analysts,and it is believed that the woman,who apparently was of middle age,must have perished through acci-

dent or design at a remote period oftho past, as some even go so far asto say 2,000 or 3,000 years ago. Thather death was violent there is littleroom to doubt, inasmuch as whendiscovered the body was in a re-

cumbent position, partly on the side,with chest slightly crushed as ifthrough a severe fall, the legs drawnup, and the fingers and toes con-

tracted. The hair is iu a most per-

fect state, aud maintains its contactwith the skull in a peculiarly aston-ishing manner, and the mouth isopen, displaying the teeth andtongue, which are plainly visible.The extremities are remarkablysmall and perfect, even the nailsbeing in their respective places.The hair on the head, wo should add,appears to be plaited in a very pe-

culiar manner, and is of great lengthand thickness, though in some partsdetached, owing to a part of theskull having been destroyed. Thecuriosity at present is at the office

of the firm, who have imported itfrom South America, but we under-

stand that arrangements are beingmade that it shall be publicly shownat the "Westminster Aquarium atan early day. English Paper.

Midtlletoxi.In last week's Journal, on ac-

count of important legal notices, wecould not give such an account, indetail, of the capture of Middleton,as we would have liked, as a matterof local history. "We append here-

with tho description as given byLlewellyn to the Omaha Jlcpubli-ca- n.

It is virtually the same asgiven us by Deputy Sheriff, JamesL. Smith, of Cheyenne, when here:"The detail of soldiers in charge ofLlewellyn reached the Niobrara at11 a. m., on Sunday last, July 27th,and about the same time tho GrandIsland party under Leech, consist-

ing of the Sheriff of Hall County,the Sheriff of Howard County,'Happy Jack,' from HartsufT, audEislcy from Indiana, also reachedthe Niobrara, and formed a junctionwith Llewellyn's party. The riverwas immediately crossed on theferry at range 19 west, aud the partyunder lull gallop, struck for Middle-ton'- s

father-in-law- 's house, wherethey captured him and some fiveothers, and held them in custody.Pending the arrangement of the de-

Proceeding someseven miles, the head of a deepcanon was reached. Large pinetrees filled the gorges of the canon,and from its deep recesses no soundcame forth to indicate that

lay within the dark canon. Thesoldiers were quietly picketed oncommanding points. Llewellyn,Leech, 'Happy Jack,' Sheriff Killian,Sheriff Krew, and Eisley, deployedinto the different defiles that led tothe main canon. In a short timethe camp was discovered and thestillness was broken by the ring ol"

THE DEADLY NEEDLE GUN.

Mrs. Middleton was in the camp.She screamed for a cessation of hos-

tilities, and she came up to the Sher-iffs of Hall and Howard counties,who told her to go back and tell'Doc' to surrender. She went backand soon returned, saying 'Doc'

WOULD NOT GIVE HIMSELF UP.

Some of tho men worked theirway cautiously into the camp. Itwas soon deserted, and

THE 11RIGANDS HAD FLED.

Middleton was discovered crawl-ing through tho grass. Soon after-wards a ball came near terminatinghis life. He begged for quarter, andwas taken with his arms on. Hesays he was shot by Ilazen with a"Winchester the Sunday before ; theball entered in front near the naveland struck the point of the hip boneas It passed out. The wound onlytemporarily disables him. Ho wasat once taken to the top of the hillsand thence to the main camp nearRev. Mr. Skinner's house on thesouth of the river. The camp of theoutlaws contained fruit, lemons, su-

gar, ammunition, bedding, powder,canned good3, and endless nick-nack- s.

It was gutted and the tentsPILED UP AND BUr.NED.

Most of his men were off construct-ing a new camp, and it is supposedthat he only had some five men withhim at the time of the surprise. Itwas

A COMPLETE SUUPKISE

and an utter rout. Early Moudaymorning a party, consisting of allthe citizens who accompanied theexpedition, struck out for Colum-bus, with the brigand chief in charge,laid out on a bed in the wagon.The party, excepting tho two sher-iffs and 'Happy Jack,' continued ondown the Elkhorn to Columbus.The latter struck off to Ft. Hartsuff."

Heaven and God are best discern-ed through tears; scarcely perhapsare discerned at all without them.The constant association of prayerwith the hour of bereavement audthe scenes of death suffices to showthi?. Yet is this effect of externaldistress only a particular instance ofthis general truth, that religionsprings up in the mind whereverany of the infinite affections anddesire9 press severely against the in-

finite conditions of our existence.Instead of slumbering at noon inEden, we must keep the midnightwatch within Gethsemane. "Wc, too,like our great Leader' must be made,perfect through suffering; but thestruggle by night will bring thecalmness of the morning; the hourof exceeding sorrow will preparethe day of godlike strength; theprayer for deliverance calls downthe power of endurance. And whileto the reluctant their cross is tooheavy to be borne, it grows lightto the heart of willins trust.

The Ititclicn.There is an old and true saying,

that "A woman can throw out witha spoon faster than a man can throwiu with a shovel." In cooking meatsfor iustancc, unless watched the cookwill throw out the water withoutletting it cool to take off the fat, orscrape the dripping-pa- n into thoswill-pai- l. The grease is useful inmany ways. Bits of meat arc thrownout that would make good hashedmeat or hash ; the flour 13 sifted in a

wasteful manner, or the bread-pa- n

What the War has Mettled.

The war has not changed the con-

stitution. The doctrine of statesecession was treasonable before,and there is still the same liberty toassert it. The war gave the demo-crats a terrible punishment for try-ing to practice it. Unhappily it hasnot taught them wisdom. They arestill vaporing about their rights asstates, which have no meaning butstate secession. They are trying touse tho boon of citizenship magnani-mously granted to bloody traitors,to nullify the powers of the nationalgovernment and make their statessupreme. Still the so-call- leadersof the democratic party in the northmake it merely tho tail to the south-

ern confederate dog. But the wardecided that an overwhelming massof the people will not permit thenation to be divided, and the proba-

bility is that they will not permit aparly to come into control of thenation upon a policy of hate for itsconstitutional supremacy. Cincin-nati Gazette.

A lloilel ConicIoH.Several years ago in a "Western

town a young lawyer, a member ofa large church, got drunk. Thebrethren said he must confess, nodemurred. He knew the membersto be good people, but they had theirlittle faults, such as driving sharpbargains, screwing the laborer downto low wages, loaning money atillegal rates, misrcprcscntiugarticlesthey had for sale, etc. But theywere good people, and pressed thelawyer to come before the churchmeeting and own his sin in taking aglass too much, for they were tem-

perance people and abhorred intem-perance. The sinner finally went tothe confession, fouud a largo gather-ing of brethren and sisters, whosebowed heads rose and whose eyesglistened with pure delight as thelawyer began his confession: "Iconfess," said he, "that I never took10 per cent, for money." On thatconfession down went a brother'shead with a groan. "I never turneda poor man from my door who need-ed food and shelter." Down wentanother head. "I confess I neversold skim-mil- k cheeso for a newono." "Whereupon a woman shriek-ed for mercy. "I confess that 1 havenot been Pharisaical and self-right-eo-

and have not sought to injureor persecute those who have nothappened to agreo with me;" whendown dropped numerous heads. "Iconfess that I never played thohypocrite aud I do not lie, that Ihave not used religion a3 a cloak,"when down went ?everal other headsand among them the heads of thevery ones who were so anxious thathe should confess. "But," conclud-ed the sinner, "I have been drunkand am very sorry for it." "Where-upon the meeting quietly dispersed.

A Keli-- Ii Tor Farm .Stock.

The importance of an occasionalrelish of salt and wood-ashe- s to allkinds of stock cannot be too highlyappreciated. The most convenientform in which these materials areoffered, according to feeders of wideexperience, is in a solid mass, whichadmits of a diligent licking on thepart of the animal without gainingmore of the mixture than is desira-ble. In order to mix these ingredi-ents so that a solid mass may beformed, take salt and pure wood,ashes in the proportion ot pound rorpound, with water sufficient to holdthe mixture together. To preservethe mixturo in a solid state, place itin troughs or boxes sheltered suff-iciently to keep rain and snow fromreaching it and converting it into analkaline pickle. These troughs withtheir tempting contents provo 'efficient as baits for alluring animals,turned out on a long run during theday, home at night.

"When cattle chew leather, wood,and old bones, remember that it in-

dicates a lack of phosphate of limein their food, which is required tosupply bone material. A teaspoon-fu- ll

of bone material given dailywith their grain will correct thehabit and supply the deficiencywhich Induces it. If the dispositionto cat bones is indulged in whencows are on grass, tho deficiencythen evidently exists in the soil, andthe pasture will be greatly benefitedby a top-dressi- of bone dust.
