Sapsey had a fever, and Little Joe killed nun in a bungling attempt to cure hun. The tribe were indignant at the malpractice, and as a punishment dosed Little Joe with the medicine that had killed oapsey.

But the doctor did not die of his own physic. Then he was stontd and stabbed to death. Four of the tribe have been ar rested for the murder. They confess the deed, but do not regard it as that any doctor who cannot cure ought to be put to death. El Dorado, Placer, Nevada, Calaveras, and other counties of California which lie at the base of the Sierra Nevada, are making strenuous efforts to recover something of their former prosperity They were once the most populous in the State but wilii the decline ot mining came the de cline of their prosperity.

Since the tide of immigration has been setting in toward Southern California their people have become aroused from the lethargic state into which they had fallen, and are endeav oring to obtain a portion of the new comers. A Washington correspondent writes: Perhaps the woman of the future will be wise enough to know that she cannot obtain a situation in any of the Washington departments where there are no vacancies. The woman of the present has no inkling whatever of such knowledge. The steadiest and worst of all Congressional annoyances is the unreasoning applicant fora lady clerkship. Pennsylvania Jveiley has one general proposition to these feminine pests First, select the position you most Kelley seriously, then kill the woman holding it, and I'll get you into tne vacancy.

At a recent meeting in Boston of the Massachusetts Anglers' Association, one of the members gave some curious information on the subject of starfish. These the speaker described as moving in great masses, and when they came to an oyster plantation they would spread out over twenty acres of it, and in a single night destroy every oyster. The only way to fight them was to dredge up the stars constantly, and this was now being done. They find that the five fingers make a very jood dressing for orchard lands, but must be used sparingly for this purpose, as they are a very powerful dressing. Other than this, the speaker knew of no use in them except to be killed, which saves the lives of a great many oysters.

If left alone he would lie on his back for an hour at a time, chewing his fingers and tearing out pieces of flesh and bone with the voracity of a savage animal. He has pursued this habit with suck fatal persistency as to reduce all the fingers of both hands to raw and bleeding stumps, while of the thumb of the left hand nothing whatever remains. His parents were first cousins. In a book entitled "Six Weeks in the Saddle," a traveler in Iceland gives an amusing illustration of the meaning of ventilation in that country.

One night he occupied a lied in alittle chamber tenanted by all the male members of his host's family. Toward midnight he awoke with a feeling of suffocation. He aroused the host, who at once jumped out of bed, exclaiming, "1 understand," and going up to one of the timbers which lormed part of the support of the wall, pulled out a cork from one of the knot-holes, held It in his hand for about half a minute, and then, shuddering horribly, pulled a very wry face, and said they would all catch their death of coin, hammered the cork in tight, and jumped back into bed, ment in Georgia found zealous advocates in all the Valley States, where cotton is raised, and not a doubt exists but that it operated on all planters more or less. It was favored by our factors, and if any reliance can be placed on the planters, then is our estimate of the decline in cotton acreage verified. In takinff the opinion of leadinsr mer chants and factors as to the general crops of cotton in the country tributary to Jew Orleans, one of them expressed himself in substance thus Of the crops generally, it may be said that they were retarded bv the drouth in all the districts overflowed, where the water disappears in time, the planters in some way "by hook or by crook" manage to replant.

In the highlands of Louisiana the planters have been stimulated, in a few instances, by the supposed loss of crops in the lowlands to increase the cotton acreage over and beyond that contemplated at the beginning of the planting season. This is true more particularly of the highlands of "Mississippi, where the Grangers, instead of planting the amount of corn intended, have fallen back upon something like the plantings of last year, no was, tnereiore, oi tne opinion should the replant escape the worm to which it will be particularly subject on account of its tenderness, that the product will not fall short as has been generally believed. Another gentleman of even greater prominence, and who stands at the head of the factors in this city, whose opinions are justly esteemed of great value because of his large experience and acknowledged ability, concurred in the views given above. From all sources of information we are led to believe that the loss in the crop of 1874. outside of 10 per cent, in the acre age, will probably fall short of 200,000 bales, and may not exceed 150,000 bales.

These conclusions are necessarily hypoth etical, and assume the favorable contin gencies of the weather and absence of the cotton worm until such time as the re plant cotton shall sufficiently mature to escape its ravages. A melancholy accident has just occurred in Switzerland. Mr. and Mrs. Lis-keard.

Hardly had they taken a hundred paces when Mrs. Liskeard and her companion suddenly disappeared down a cre vasse, covered with a slight layer of frozen snow. Unhappily the rope by which they were connected with the others broke, and they were seen no more.

Tht husband at once procured extra assistance from the Grands-Chalets, but the bodies could not be recovered, and it is thought they are some thousand feet down in the mountain The death of the two unfortunate persons must have been instantaneous. Du. R. V. Pierce, of the World's Dis pensary.

A cor respondent writes to the Scientific American that the worst toothache or neuralgia coming from the teeth, may be speedily and delightfully ended by the application oi a small die oi clean cotton saturated in a strong solution of ammonia to the de fective tooth.

Sometimes the late sufferer is prompted to momentary nervous laugh ter by the application, but the pain has disappeared. Baked Apple Dumplings. Roll out some dough thicker than pie-crust, and inclose a handful of sliced ripe apples well covered with sugar and butter. Bring the edges together as in any other dumplings. When as many are made as desired, place them side by side in a pudding pan, spread butter and sugar over than, and pour boiling water to about half cover the dumplings.

Jfut them in the stove and cook moderately fast until they are nicely browned. The butter, sugar and water make a nice sauce, which can be enriched with more butter, and flavored with nutmeg if desired. Wet Boots. The Agriculturist gives the following advice to farmers who, next to fishermen, are apt to get their boots wet tnrough vv nen tne boots are taken on, fill them quite full with dry oats. This grain has a great fondness for damp, and will rifpidly absorb the last vestige of it from the wet leather.

As it takes up the moisture it swells and nils the boot with a tightly fitting last, keeping its form good, and drying the leather without hardening it. In the morning, shnke outthe oats and hang them in a bug near the tire to dry, ready for the next wet night, draw on the boots, and go happily about the next day's work. A Simple Disinfectant. Roasted cof fee, says the Homceopathic World, is one of the most powerful means, not oniy lor rendering animal and vegetable effluvia innocuous, but of actually destroyin them. In proof of this, the statement is made that a room in which meat in an ad vanced degree of decomposition had been kept for some time was instantly deprived of all smell on an open coffee-roaster being curried through it containing one pound of newly-roasted coffee and in another room, the effluvia occasioned by the clearing out of a cesspool, so that sulphuretted hydrogen and ammonia could he clearly detected, was entirely removed within half a miiiute on the employment of three ounces of fresh coffee.

The best mode is to dry the raw bean, pound it in a mortar, and then roast the powder on a moder ately heated iron plate until it assumes a dark brown hue it is in this state ready for use. Yeast and Yeast Cakes. Pare 4 good sized potatoes, and put with a large hand ful ot hops into 1 quart of cold water, ana boil, being careful in handling the hops not to lose the luputine, or tine yenow powder of the hop, wherein consists its chief strength. When the poiatoes are done, tike them out, mash fine, and mix with them half ateacupfulof wheat flour, and a little salt. Strain upon this the water from the hops, which must be very hot.

When the batter is cool is blood warm, add a teacupful and a half ot yeast, and set in a warm place to rise. When perfectly light, pour into a stone jug, cork tightly, and set in the cellar. For yeast cakes, proceed as above ml the addition of the flour, which omit, substituting Indian meal, stirring it as you add the boiling hop-water, until the mixture is very stiff. When sufficiently cool, add a teacupful of yeast, which it will be necessary to work in with the hand, and let stand six or eight hours then make into long rolls, andcut in slices about an inch thick sprinkle dry meal on plates, boards or tins lay on the cakes and place where they will dry quickly. The Cotton Crop in the Southwest.

The New Orleans Times of a late date says An attache of the Times has spent the past two days investigating the condition and prospects of the cotton crop in the regions tributary to New Orleans. Nearly all of the leading factors, and in some instances well-known planters just arrived from their plantations, have been interviewed, their correspondence consulted and their views obtained. Naturally we have felt great anxiety not to fall into any extreme or ultra ideas ou this subject. With equal care we have sousrht not to adopt conclusions without testimony derived from the most rt liable sources. Manifestly it would be the extreme of folly to attempt at this time an estimate of how much cotton will or wiU not be produced.

To do so would justly impoverish our claim to consideration in what we propose now to say on this delicate and important question. Much of the eotton lands have only just been planted, much is now only being planted, or rather replanted as the overflow waters subside. The season is late, and it is impossible hi the very nature of the case that anybody should be able to even form an opinion what yield to expect from this replanting. An absolute concurrence of favorable conditions might result in crops excellent and abundant. But late plantings are more liable to unfavorable contingencies than early ones.

Drouth is more trying to young and tender plants than to those which have acquired substance and strength they are also more liable to destruction from worms should that pest make its appearance. Obviously some idea can be formed, however, as to the probable amount of loss of crop by reason of the flood or decline in acreage, since in either case the losses are already partially ascertained. The decline in acreage is be lieved to be about 10 per cent. It is well known that a general sentiment pievailed throughout the cotton belt, that it would be a wise policy on the part of the planters to reduce the area of cotton and increase th? area of corn. In Georgia, it will be remembered, the Grange organization of the State strenuously urged the planters to reduce their cotton one-third, and correspondingly increase their corn.
