There's room lu the upper story, la the higher walks of life. Push oil, with a true endeavor. And a heart that's firm in right ; There's room in the upper story For those who w in the fight. Away to the utmost borders ..Of this beautiful floating ball. Wherever a spark of genius Has answered Its master's call. Wherever a soul Is longing . For a freer, fairer field. There's room lu the upper story For those success has scaled. Then away from the struggling masses . Of those of caliber small. Away to the upper story. To the highest of them alL Whatever your rank or profession, If lostled and crowded aside. There's ioom In the upper story ; Press on through the surging tide! .' t 'Tis only the brcvest and strongest Will reach the temple's dome, And find In the uppeT sUry, A laurel crown and home. The YTay Indians keep Bargains. Wm Penn was a sly old fox. "When he bought of the Indians in 1GSS a tract of land commencing on the line of his former purchases, ajul extending northwesterly as far as a man could ride on horseback in two days, doubt less he had a touh animal in his mind's eye for the task. When this bargain was re-discussed in 1737, and the modified plan carried out by Thom as & John Penn, it was stipulated that the purchase of 1 080 le consummated by commencing at YVrightstown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and tercnipatirg at a spot a man could reac.li in one and a half dav's walk, A iiiah by the name of Edward Marshall was one of the walkers selected. Mr. J. II. Mar tin states that this man started from YVrightstown at sunrise, on .Sept. 19th, 1737, and at sunset had reached the foot of the Blue Mountains, and at noon next day had reached Tobihama Creek, lie was a Ix-tter athlete than the Indians expected to lind among the whites, lie put fifty miles behind him the ur;;t diy, ami in eighteen hours be walked eighty miles. The Indians, we are told, were terribly exasperated by the result, as they had no idea of selling !eir rich hunting grounds bc yond tho mountains. Their dissatis faction increased until it ended in open war in 1751, raid the first victims of the tomahawk were the family of Mar shall. When land Mas sold in the loose fashion described, a stout athlete was a man of much importance. The Penns, although Quakers, were remark ably sharp traders. Exactly! they never make a bargain that they don't back out of and on their .shoulders lie the violations of nearly all treaty stipulations. This case is. a fair sample; there could be no excise here for saying that they did not know the value of the money or goods they gut, or the white man's measure. They had their own meas ure, as far as a man could walk; and when ho walked further than they liked, they backed out, and afterward went to war about it. Carl Pretzel's Letter.

Obituary of a Western Editor. Ye editor sat in his rickety chair, as worried as worried could be, for ye devil was grinning before him there, and "copy 1" ye devil sayed he. Oh, ye editor grabbed his big quill pen, and it sputtered ye ink so free, that his manuscript looked like a war map, when "Take this," to the- devil spake he. He scribbled and scratched through the live-long day, no rest or refresh ment had he; for the devil kept con stantly coming that way, and howling for more "eoii-ee." Dav after dav he scissored and wrote, a saying the whole countree; while ye devil kept piping his single note, "A little more outside cop-eel" And when ye boys in ye news-room hear the sound of unequal fray, the voice of a blow and a blasphemous word, "He's raisin' the devil !" say they. And oft when a man with a griev ance came in, ye editor man to see, he'd turn his back with a word of sin Go talk to ye devil," sayed he. And ever and oft, when a "proof" of his work ye proprietors wanted to see, "Ye proof shall bn shown by my per sonal clerk ; vou must go to ye devil," sayed he. And thus he was destined through all of his life, by this spirit tormented to be; in hunger and poverty, sorrow and strife, always close to ye devil was he. Ye editor died: But ye devil lived on! And the, force of life s habit we see, for ye editor's breath no sooner was gone, than straight to ye devil went he. Printing uaxctte. AMERICAN P03I0L0UICAL SOCIETY. Fourteenth Sesssan and (Jaart?r Cen tennial Celebration. Whereas the American. Pomologi cal society, at its List session, accepted the invitation of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, io hold its Quar ter Centennial Celebration, and Bien nial Session, in the city of Boston, in 1873; Therefore, in conformity with said acceptance, the undersigned give no tice that the Fourteenth Session of this National Association will be hcTd in the Hall of the Massachusetts Horti cultural Society, Tremont street, in Boston, commencing Wednesday, Sep tember 10th, 1873, at 10 o'clock, A. M and continue for three days. . . All Horticultural, Pomological, Ag ricultural, and other kindred associa tions, in "the United State? and British Provinces, are invited to send delega tions, as large- as they may deem expe dient, and aTl persons interested in the cultivation of fruits, are invited to be present and take seats in the Conven tfen. . .Tlie coming session will be especially interestinc?, commemorating, as it "vill, the termination of the first quarter of I a century of tho existence of the So ciety, and, it is believed, will be one of the most important and useful that the Society has ever held. On this occa sion there will be brought together the best cultivators and fruits of our wide ly extended country, when may be ex amined and compared the fruits, not only of the cooler climes of the North, but of the South and West, and the Pa cific slope. It is therefore very desira ble that every State, Territory, and Province of America should be fully and ably represented in thjsconven tion, thereby promoting thb advtince lnent of one of the great resources of our national wealth, the extension and perpetuation of the amicable and social relations which have heretofore existed among the members of the So ciety, and the diffusion throughout the land of our deliberations, for the benefit of our constantly expanding territory. It is therefore hojied that there will be a full attendance of Delegates from all quarters of th3 country, thereby stimulating more extensive cultivation by the concentrated information ana experience of cultivators, and aiding the Society in perfecting its Catalogue of Fruits. This will be one of the prominent subjects which will come before the Society, and we therefore re spectfully urge the various State and Local Committees which have not al ready responded to the Circulars of P. Barry (Chairman of the General Fruit Committee, Rochester, N. Y.), to do so, with such information and lists cf fruits as may aid in determining what varieties are best adapted to their sev eral localities. At this session the Society will ap point the place for its next meeting, and also decide what action it will take on the invitation to participate in the International Exhibition at the Cen tennial Celebration of 1S7G, in Phila delphia, and it is respectfully request ed that members come prepared to ex press their, opinions in regard to this subject." Arrangements will be made with hotels, and as far sis possible with the various railroad companies, terminat ing in Boston, for a. redaction of fare, and of which notice will be given in a future Circular. Similar arrange menH Can undoubtedly be made by the various delegations, with roads in their localities. Members and Delegates are request ed to contribute specimens CI the Fruits of their rjd.-Live,astricts, and to Ciiiiriunicate in regard to them whatever may aid in promoting the objects of the Society and the science of Ameck-an. Poniology.- Bach con- plete list of his collection, and to pre sent the same with his fruits, that a report of all the varieties entered may be submitted to the meeting as early as practicable. The Massachusetts Society for Pro moting Agriculture have kindly appro priated Five Hundred Dollars, and lib eral sums have been. promised by other generous patrons,. ..See premium list. An increase"! interest will be given to the. occasion by the Grand Exhibi tion of Plants and Flowers by the Mas sachusetts Horticultural Society, which will occur at the same time. Packages of fruits, with the name of the contributor, may be addressed as follows: "American Pomological So ciety," care of E. W. Buswcll, Massa chusetts Horticultural Society, Boston. All person desirous of becoming members can remit the fee to Thomas V. James, Esq., Treasurer, Cambridge, Mass. Life Membership, Twenty Dol lars; Biennial, Four Dollars. MARSHALL P. WILDER, President, Boston, Mass. F. R. Elliott, Secrettiry, . Cleveland, Ohio. The Chksn Fortune. The Chases have got it the immense fortune of 32(10,000,000. The decision has been rendered that the American heirs are entitled to just that amouut. It is a pity that the sum isn't larger. It will hardly go around all the many Chases young and old, that can trace their lineage directly back to Sir Rich ard Townley, of Lancashire, England, who had a grandson so lazy that he wouldn't get married, and naturally died without an heir, and the vast es tates fell to a sister who did get mar ried to one Chase.- Of course they had sons four of them. Three of them came to America, The other, a block head, remained in England, and his lit Chases have inherited 3125,000,000. The entire fortune w:is 3:3o,000,000, and through the ignorance of the son that stayed in England, America 3 cheated out of so much ready money. We think there is. ground in that for a claim of indirect damages. At Geneva we c'nly got 375.000,000. Here is an opportunity of frightening the British lion into the payment of a hundred million, more. Caleb Cushing could etablirrlf a" most legal and just claim to th's estate of the brother, that should have been governed by the majority, and followed his three brothers to Ply mouth Rock. Ex. Pretty good! Champion S., at Oma ha, is one of "them fellers," and we have a live heir in Plattsmouth. Go in, boys, and win, only divide fair when you get the 33S5.000.000. How Jlodoc Jack Lok3- Sax Francisco, C a i, June 8. Dispatches received from Yreka this evening, dated Boyle"?? Camp, Title Lake, June Gth, snty that soon after the arrival of- the Modoc prisoners at his camp, General Davis sent word to the settlers at Tule Lake and the Lost River country that he desired all of them to come and identify the murder ers in hand and the property. Among those who responded to the call were Mrs. Boddy and her daughter, Mrs. Schiera, two women who were widowed by the Modocs. Boddy and Schiera took up three quarter sections of land near the mouth of Lost River, last Au gust, and with. their families settled in the country. On the morning of Nov. 29th Captain .hickson's command at tacked Jack and his party on. Lost Riv er and compelled them to retire. Hooka JiLi and his party were on the north side of the river from Jack, but knew cf bis defeat. They were mur dered bv Hooka Jim and his associates during the forenoon of that dav whtle cutting wood, herding sheep, etc., with in a few miles of .Jtbe house, atul were uUerlv unctmsciouS of danger. The agent of the Yainox reservation had promised that any offensive movement against the Indians should be made known to the settlers, to afford the sot tiers an opportunity to obtain safe refuge. The messenger failed to do his duty thereby facilitating the mas sacre, rue arrival or air. uouuys team without a driver, and the blood upon the wagon, was the first intima tion of the terrible tragedy these poor women received. Before noon they found the Ixnlies of the murdered men, stripped of all their clothing, at differ ent points. Within a few miles of the house they also met Mouocs llooKa Jim, Long Jim, Curly-headed Doctor, One-eyed Mose, Rock Dave, Humph Jerry," and Mrs. Hooka Jim, who were implicated in the crime. AVhile the In dians were at the houso to find more nial'3 vietnhs the women escaped and traveled day and night and suffered many hardships, and reached Mr. Van Rapp's in a completely exhausted con dition. The Gcjuml received the wo men kindly, heard their story, and as signed them a tent, and promised to assist them in the recovery of the sto len goods. This morning Hooka Jim and Steam boat Frank, -who had jest returned from a scout after tl'r?e or four mis sing Modocs, wera taken to the tent occupied by the .women. Hooka Jim was identified by Mrs Boddy as one of the Indians concerned in the massacre in question. About the robbery, he said Long Jim tojk a long purse containing 3300, and he took a short purse. Tho wo men here became exr ited. They lost till control over their feelings and began crying, and started in for desperate work. Mrs. Schiera drew a pistol and started for Steamboat Frank; and Mrs. Boddy drew a knife and dashed at Hooka Jim. General Davis stepped in at this moment stud secured both wea IKHis. During the struggle the General received a slight cut . in the palm of the hand and near the thumb. Hooka and Steamboat stood like stat ues ; neither spoke or offered to resist. It galls Jack and his comrades to see Hooka Jim and Frank travcling to and fro at will, and sinned at that. He does not understand the result of turn ing State's evidence. This afternoon he became greatly excited, and gave vent to his rage. In a fiery oration he rose in chains with Schonchein, and in a strong and impressive manner recited his grievances. The purport of what he said is told by Scarfsce Charley. "He is rfad " rays Charier? "to sf ? tmii white man no serve all alike." While Jack was in the midst of his oration his fellow captives were warming in lyrrtpath'y with him. The officer of the guard came m and compelled mm to desist. There are now 131 Modocs un der guard. On June 9th General Davis proposes to take the cavalry, a light battery of Fourth Artillery and infantry; ttnd march to Klamath,. Htxrriey, and Walla Walla for the purpose of of intimidat ing bad indians. Preliminary orders for the movement have been issued. Humors of tlie Vienna Exhibition. Anecdotes connected with tlie visit of the Crown Prince and the Princess Vic toria to the German depart met of the Exhibition at Vienna are still current. A letter inserted in a Swiss paper nar rated a little incident which happened. Prince Fredrick William, being about to enter tlie French department of the Exhibition, was for a moment stopped by his cicerone, who said to him, "Your Imperial Highness wi?l perhaps please to await a little till the French work men have withdrawn?" But thePrinte answered, "Oh, let us go on!" He went through the. Department. The French workmen star ji a little glumly at him, evidently dissatisfied: but the official French Commisssoner received him quite agreeably. Generally the Prince is popular at Vienna, and often min gles v. ith the townspeople who meet him in his walks through the Exhibition This put3 an English" writer in mind of an amusing story which occurred some years ago, when the Prince staying v. ith his mother the Queen at Etidcn-Baden, met a Berlin tailor, very rich, a'd re cently ennobled, in one of the saloons. The Prince asked him how he amused himself at Baden-Baden. The parcenii answered, "Your Royal Highness; T amuse myself well enough, but I lind society here is a little indifferently mixed." "Perhaps so, said the Prince ; but everybody, you know, cannot be a tailor." A Tornado swept over a portion of Adams county, Nebraskti, on Wednes day night, the 2 1st nit-, demolishing several houses and barns. A little girl, who had gieat kindness of heart .for all the animal creation, saw a hen preparing to gather her chickens under her sheltering wings. uid shouted earnestly: "O! don't sit down on those beautiful little birds, you great ugly, old rooster!" The Nation describes the Democrat ic party as "a party without a policy a party of mere negation, which never has anything positive to offer; which was opposed to the war, opposed to the prosecution of the war, opposed to emancipation, opposed to the constitu tional amendments, and which peyt.r rises higher than ah ob.s'tiratfc I -position to "everything that it: done or at tempted by its adversaiy." The Superintenslcncics Abolished. Under the law enacted at the last session of Congress, authorizing the President to appoint five inspectors of Indian affairs, and to abolish tis maty of the existing Indian superintenden cies as he should deem . advisable, the President has. upori recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior, issued an order abolishing the superintenden cies of Montana, Oregon and Arizona, and the Northern Indian Superintend ency, which comprises Dakota and a part of Nebraska ami appointing-the following named persons to be Indian Inspectors for asssignment to duty un der the law as the interests of the ser vice may require: J. W.Daniel, Minne sota; J. C. O'Connor, New York; J. D. Bevier, Michigan; E. C. Kemble, New York ; and Wm. VanDever, Iowa.

Mr. Holden, many years ago, had to rise at four in the morning to pursue his studies in chemistry, anil experienced the greatest inconvenience from his tedious eforts to obtain a light from flint and steel. He was giving lectures at this time to a very large academy. Ho goes on to say: "Of course 1 knew, as other chemists did, the explosive material that was necessary in order to produce instanta neous light, but it was very diilieuit to obtain a light on wood by that explo sive material, and the idea occurred to me to put under the explosive mixture sulphur. I did that, ;:tl published it in my next lecture, and showed it. There wis a young man in the room whose father was a chemist in London, and he immadiatoly wrote to his father about it, and shortly afterwards Inciter matches were issued to the world.

Ktr Gloves. rBenzino i the best substance to ttke. the greasy I dirt out of leather gloves, n it does not attack the leather like most of tho other substances sometimes used for thftt purpose. Those who make it a profession to clean gloves, put them till together in a large, widenioethed jar with glass stopper, until it is about lialf ftr'l, cover tho g.'ovt.4 v ith ben zine, close the stopper, and shako tho whole several timvs, letting it rest alternately. The gloves are then taken out, one by one, and examined. If any deposits have remained, they are rub bed out with benzine; the plove is then wrung out it;:d hung up to dry. If such ghnf.a were, however, to bo worn after simply air-drying, tho higher temperature of the hand would cause evaporation with an unpleasant odor of the benzine, which, at the lower I em perature was left I'thirhl. Hence they are dried at a temperature of some 200 degrees, between plates heated with boiling water, w hich removes all traces of benzine, and consequent odor. The benzine, remaining in the bottle after Mving been used a few times becomes dirty; but as benzine is so cheap a: to make it not worth while to recover it by redistillation when thtr? soiled, all giovc cleaners throw it away.
