THE FORGETFUL HUSBAND.
"Oh dear! what shall I do? The
hoop has burst oft" my wash-tub, and
my suds arc all over the floor!" said
Mrs. Aldcn, in a tone of despond
ency, to her husband, as he came iu
to wash his hands at the sink, after
oiling his new horse-rake.
"That is bad, Jenny. You will
have to let your washing go till to
morrow ; then you can borrow Mrs.
Seidell's tub."
"But this will all fall to pieces if
it stands, and wc arc expecting com
pany to-morrow."
"I can't help it; I can't stop the
work to go oft' with it now. You
must make hay when the sun shines
if you do at all. Can't you tie it up,
so that it will do to-day? I should
think you might."
"Perhaps so, if yon will help me.
"What can I lake?"
"Oh, any thing for this time; but
really I ought not to stop a minute.
"Where is your clothes-line?"
"The colored clothes are on it, to
dry."
"Hang them on the fence and let's
have it quick."
So Mrs. Aldcn trotted out and
moved her clothes and took the line
down, while Mr. Alden stood in the
door and whistled impatiently.
"Do mop up this water, Jenny.
How can you stand in such a pud
dle? There, I forgot to get you a
new mop-handle but you can make
it go to-day, can't you ?"
"I suppose I shall have to. You
promised to get oue three weeks
ago, when you broke this."
"I know I did, but I never think
of it a man has so many thinirs to
see to. There, that will go this
week ; it doesn't leak much. I don't
know what made it break."
"The hoop rusted out. The old
tub has done good service; it has
been in use 15 years."
"There, confound it! "What did
you leave the wash-board there for?
I have broken it all to pieces.'
"Ii is worn out and rotten. I wish
you would get mo ;; now one. I can
never tinker it up again."
"l'ub join cluthc with your
hands; my mother always did, and
she never had a washboard in her
life."
Aldcn marched oil" to the hay-field,
before he met another catastrophe to
lake up his time.
He was hardly out of sight before
a tin peddler's cart etopped at the
door, containing a collection of all
articles used in a family, from wash
tubs down to brooms, mops and
pins.
"Anything in the way of trade,
Mrs. Alden, to-day ?" asked the man.
"Xo, I think not. My husband
does not like to buy of peddlers. He
says I always get cheated."
"Have you not as good a right to
have suitable apparatus to work
with as he has? He has a new
horse-rake and a hay-tedder, and
his wife is washing in a tub tied up
with a rope, and a wash-board that
looks as if Noah's wife brought it
out of the ark, and a leaky water
pail ; a dipper without a handle; a
broken mop-handle bless me! Mrs.
Alden! "What is the use? You had
more money when you were mar
ried than ho had, and I would have
tools to work with that Avere com
fortable, to say the least. He never
stops to think what a thing costs, if
he needs it, or if it will make his
work easier. It tires you more to
get along with these things than it
does to do your work."
Mrs. Alden sat down and looked
the property over. It was ridicu
lous to get along in this way. The
peddler was right; she had more
money than her husband when they
started life, and she had worked
harder than ever he had. She had
managed every way to get along and
he never thought she needed any
thing new or convenient. Her set
ting out was almost worn out and
nothing was ever replaced. "You
must make it do ; it costs everything
to live!" and so she had dragged
along year alter year, and things
wore out and were not replaced. A
big lump rose in her throat as she
sat 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 next
size. Mop-handles for a quarter,
wash-boards a quarter, dippers 20
cents, brooms 30."
"Hand me down two wash-tubs, if
you please one of each size; a zinc
wash-board, 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 renewed
courage ; but she knew that her hus
band would growl at the outlay and
expected a regular tempest at dinner.
She was not disappointed. Bat
she had got the things and was glad
of it and couldn't feel very bad. Al
deu opened his eyes in astonishment.
"You paid twice what the things
are worth. I could have bought
them cheaper. "Wo could have got
along a while longer."
"I suppose I haye as good a right
to judge of what I need to do my
work as you have to get things to
make your work easy; aud I made
up my mind to-day that when I
needed any thing I should have it
hereafter. You know that every
article I bought to-day was actually
needed in the house. You have said
time and again you would get them,
but you never remember it. It is a
rough place for a woman to be plac
ed in, to have to do her work and
nothing convenient to do it with. It
is 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-tub to-day."
"Yes, that was the last feather that
broke the camel's back ; that and the
new horse-rake came too near to
gether. I could not avoid contrast
ing your conveniences with mine;
and you can see yourself how it
stood. You have every new ma
chine that is intended to make farm
work easy, and I have nothing at
all."
Mr. Aldcn said no more, but ate
his dinner in silence, and the hired
men exchanged significant glances
at each other. They had thought
and spoken of the patience which
the little woman had shown in
working at such a disadvantage, and
always trying to make the best of
what she had, and they were heart
ily glad that she had at last mado a
protest against the injustice.
After the day's work was done,
Aldcn drove his team down to the
village, and when he came back he
brought a new stove for the kitchen,
a new pump for the cistern and a
butter-worker for the dairy, and his
wife has, since that washing-day,
fouud that her rough places have
been smoothed in a most satisfactory
manner. Her good-man had never
thought about it. lie did not mean
to be unjust, but he didn't think !
A Crystalizcd Woman.
Another very remarkable instance,
we arc informed, has just come to
light as to the preserving or petri
fying effects of nitrate of soda. A
well-known and influential city firm,
who have extensive connections
with South American planters, min
ers, etc., have recently received from
Peru a curiosity in the shape of
what may be termed a crystalizcd
female body, which, a3 their cor
respondents advise them, was some
short time since discovered by a set
of miners at Pisague, in that coun
try, completelyimbcdded in one of
the great nitrate of soda deposits
peculiar to the district. The body
is described as having the appear
ance of a petrified mummy, and is
stated to be iu a singular state of
preservation. This curiosity has
already been seen by some of our
best 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 of
tho past, as some even go so far as
to say 2,000 or 3,000 years ago. That
her death was violent there is little
room to doubt, inasmuch as when
discovered the body was in a re
cumbent position, partly on the side,
with chest slightly crushed as if
through a severe fall, the legs drawn
up, and the fingers and toes con
tracted. The hair is iu a most per
fect state, aud maintains its contact
with the skull in a peculiarly aston
ishing manner, and the mouth is
open, displaying the teeth and
tongue, which are plainly visible.
The extremities are remarkably
small and perfect, even the nails
being 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 length
and thickness, though in some parts
detached, owing to a part of the
skull having been destroyed. The
curiosity at present is at the office
of the firm, who have imported it
from South America, but we under
stand that arrangements are being
made that it shall be publicly shown
at the "Westminster Aquarium at
an early day. English Paper.
We do not yet learn from the
Herald that the ablest democratic
paper in Louisiana, the New Or
leans Times, says frankly that bull
dozing, and not northern partisan in
terference, is at the bottom of tho
exodus movemnet, and declares that
if the planters will give the negro
satisfactory guarantees aud he shall
exercise his rights unmolested, tho
exodus Will cease. Omaha Republi

Midtlletoxi.
In last week's Journal, on ac
count of important legal notices, we
could not give such an account, in
detail, of the capture of Middleton,
as we would have liked, as a matter
of local history. "We append here
with tho description as given by
Llewellyn to the Omaha Jlcpubli
can. It is virtually the same as
given us by Deputy Sheriff, James
L. Smith, of Cheyenne, when here:
"The detail of soldiers in charge of
Llewellyn reached the Niobrara at
11 a. m., on Sunday last, July 27th,
and about the same time tho Grand
Island party under Leech, consist
ing of the Sheriff of Hall County,
the Sheriff of Howard County,
'Happy Jack,' from HartsufT, aud
Eislcy from Indiana, also reached
the Niobrara, and formed a junction
with Llewellyn's party. The river
was immediately crossed on the
ferry at range 19 west, aud the party
under lull gallop, struck for Middle
ton's father-in-law's house, where
they captured him and some five
others, and held them in custody.
Pending the arrangement of the de
tails, the father-in-law was takeu
aside and given
A ClIAXCE TO H.VN'lr
or lead the party to 'Doc's' camp.
His daughter was with 'Doc' at the
camp, and with tears flowing down
his face, the unhappy parent led the
party consisting of fourteen mount
ed men, off up into the high hills
to the northwest. Proceeding some
seven miles, the head of a deep
canon was reached. Large pine
trees filled the gorges of the canon,
and from its deep recesses no sound
came forth to indicate that
TUB BKIOAXD CHIEF
lay within the dark canon. The
soldiers were quietly picketed on
commanding points. Llewellyn,
Leech, 'Happy Jack,' Sheriff Killian,
Sheriff Krew, and Eisley, deployed
into the different defiles that led to
the main canon. In a short time
the camp was discovered and the
stillness 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 back
and soon returned, saying 'Doc'
WOULD NOT GIVE HIMSELF UP.
Some of tho men worked their
way cautiously into the camp. It
was soon deserted, and
THE 11RIGANDS HAD FLED.
Middleton was discovered crawl
ing through tho grass. Soon after
wards a ball came near terminating
his life. He begged for quarter, and
was taken with his arms on. He
says he was shot by Ilazen with a
"Winchester the Sunday before ; the
ball entered in front near the navel
and struck the point of the hip bone
as It passed out. The wound only
temporarily disables him. Ho was
at once taken to the top of the hills
and thence to the main camp near
Rev. Mr. Skinner's house on the
south of the river. The camp of the
outlaws contained fruit, lemons, su
gar, ammunition, bedding, powder,
canned good3, and endless nick
nacks. It was gutted and the tents
PILED UP AND BUr.NED.
Most of his men were off construct
ing a new camp, and it is supposed
that he only had some five men with
him at the time of the surprise. It
was
A COMPLETE SUUPKISE
and an utter rout. Early Mouday
morning a party, consisting of all
the citizens who accompanied the
expedition, 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 on
down the Elkhorn to Columbus.
The latter struck off to Ft. Hartsuff."
Heaven and God are best discern

The constant association of prayer
with the hour of bereavement aud
the scenes of death suffices to show
thi?. Yet is this effect of external
distress only a particular instance of
this general truth, that religion
springs up in the mind wherever
any of the infinite affections and
desire9 press severely against the in
finite conditions of our existence.
Instead of slumbering at noon in
Eden, we must keep the midnight
watch within Gethsemane. "Wc, too,
like our great Leader' must be made,
perfect through suffering; but the
struggle by night will bring the
calmness of the morning; the hour
of exceeding sorrow will prepare
the day of godlike strength; the
prayer for deliverance calls down
the power of endurance. And while
to the reluctant their cross is too
heavy to be borne, it grows light
to the heart of willins trust.
The Ititclicn.
There is an old and true saying,
that "A woman can throw out with
a spoon faster than a man can throw
iu with a shovel." In cooking meats
for iustancc, unless watched the cook
will throw out the water without
letting it cool to take off the fat, or
scrape the dripping-pan into tho
swill-pail. The grease is useful in
many ways. Bits of meat arc thrown
out that would make good hashed
meat or hash ; the flour 13 sifted in a
wasteful manner, or the bread-pan
left with dough sticking to it ; pic
crust is left and laid by to sour, in
stead of making a few tarts for tcu;
cake batter is thrown out because
but little is left; cold puddings are
considered good for nothing, when
often they can be steamed for the
next day, or, as in case of rice, made
over in other forms; vegetables are
thrown away that would warm for
breakfast nicely; dish-towels arc
thrown down where mice can des
troy them ; soap is left in water to
dissolve, or more is used than nec
essary ; the scrub-brush is left in the
water; pails scorched by the stove,
tubs and barrels left in the sun to
dry and fall apart; chamber-pails
allowed to rust, tins not dried, and
iron-ware rusted ; nice knives arc
used for cooking in the kitchen,
silver spoons used to scrape kettle?,
or forks to toast bread ; cream is al
lowed to mold and spoil ; mustard
to dry in tho pot, aud vinegar to
corrode in the castors ; tea, roasted
coffee, pepper and spice to stand
open and lose their strength ; the
molassc3 jug loses the cork and tho
flies take possession; vinegar is
drawn in a basin and allowed to
stand until both basin and vinegar
are spoiled ; sugar is spilled from the
barrel, coffee from the sack, and tea
from the chest; different sauces are
made too sweet and both sauce and
sugar are wasted ; dried fruit 13 not
taken care of in season, and becomes
wormy ; the vinegar on pickles loses
its strength or leaks out, anil the
pickles become soft, potatoes in the
cellar grow, and the sprouts are not
removed until they become worth
less; apples decay for want of look
ing over; pork spoils for want of
salt, and beef because the brine
wants scalding; hams become taint
ed or filled with vermin, for want of
the right protection ; dried beef be
oiu.. . iit.ia iimi ii can't dc cuij
cheese molds and is eaten by mice
or vermin ; bones are burnt that
would make good soup; ashes are
thrown out carelessly, endangering
the premises and wasting them ; ser
vants have a light and fire burning
in the kitchen when they arc out all
the evening ; clothes are whipped to
pieces in the wind ; fine cambrics
aro rubbed on the board, and lace
torn in starching; brooms are never
hung up, aud are soon spoiled; car
pets are swept with scrubs hardly
fit to scrub the kitchen, and good
new brooms used for scrubbing;
towels are used in place of holders,
and good sheets to iron on, taking a
fresh one every week ; tabic linen is
thrown carelessly down, and is eat
en by mice or nut away damp and
is mildewed, or the fruit stains are
forgotten, and the stains washed in ;
table-cloths and napkins used as
dish wipers ; mats are forgotten, and
neglected to be placed under hot
dishes; teapots melted by the stove;
water forgotten in pitchers and al
lowed to freeze in winter; slops for
cows and pigs never saved; china
used to feed cats and dogs on ; and
iu many other ways a careless and
inexperienced housekeeper wastes,
without heeding, the hard-earned
wages of her husband. Economy
counts nowhere so well as in the
kitchen.
What the War has Mettled.
The war has not changed the con
stitution. The doctrine of state
secession was treasonable before,
and there is still the same liberty to
assert it. The war gave the demo
crats a terrible punishment for try
ing to practice it. Unhappily it has
not taught them wisdom. They are
still vaporing about their rights as
states, which have no meaning but
state secession. They are trying to
use tho boon of citizenship magnani
mously granted to bloody traitors,
to nullify the powers of the national
government and make their states
supreme. Still the so-called leaders
of the democratic party in the north
make it merely tho tail to the south
ern confederate dog. But the war
decided that an overwhelming mass
of the people will not permit the
nation to be divided, and the proba
bility is that they will not permit a
parly to come into control of the
nation upon a policy of hate for its
constitutional supremacy. Cincin

It is not the necessaries of life that

A lloilel ConicIoH.
Several years ago in a "Western
town a young lawyer, a member of
a large church, got drunk. The
brethren said he must confess, no
demurred. He knew the members
to be good people, but they had their
little faults, such as driving sharp
bargains, screwing the laborer down
to low wages, loaning money at
illegal rates, misrcprcscntiugarticles
they had for sale, etc. But they
were good people, and pressed the
lawyer to come before the church
meeting and own his sin in taking a
glass too much, for they were tem
perance people and abhorred intem
perance. The sinner finally went to
the confession, fouud a largo gather
ing of brethren and sisters, whose
bowed heads rose and whose eyes
glistened with pure delight as the
lawyer began his confession: "I
confess," said he, "that I never took
10 per cent, for money." On that
confession down went a brother's
head with a groan. "I never turned
a poor man from my door who need
ed food and shelter." Down went
another head. "I confess I never
sold skim-milk cheeso for a new
ono." "Whereupon a woman shriek
ed for mercy. "I confess that 1 have
not been Pharisaical and self-right-eous,
and have not sought to injure
or persecute those who have not
happened to agreo with me;" when
down dropped numerous heads. "I
confess that I never played tho
hypocrite aud I do not lie, that I
have not used religion a3 a cloak,"
when down went ?everal other heads
and among them the heads of the
very ones who were so anxious that
he should confess. "But," conclud
ed the sinner, "I have been drunk
and am very sorry for it." "Where

The importance of an occasional
relish of salt and wood-ashes to all
kinds of stock cannot be too highly
appreciated. The most convenient
form in which these materials are
offered, according to feeders of wide
experience, is in a solid mass, which
admits of a diligent licking on the
part of the animal without gaining
more of the mixture than is desira
ble. In order to mix these ingredi
ents so that a solid mass may be
formed, take salt and pure wood,
ashes in the proportion ot pound ror
pound, with water sufficient to hold
the mixture together. To preserve
the mixturo in a solid state, place it
in troughs or boxes sheltered suffi
ciently to keep rain and snow from
reaching it and converting it into an
alkaline pickle. These troughs with
their tempting contents provo 'effi
cient as baits for alluring animals,
turned out on a long run during the
day, home at night.
"When cattle chew leather, wood,
and old bones, remember that it in
dicates a lack of phosphate of lime
in their food, which is required to
supply bone material. A teaspoon
full of bone material given daily
with their grain will correct the
habit and supply the deficiency
which Induces it. If the disposition
to cat bones is indulged in when
cows are on grass, tho deficiency
then evidently exists in the soil, and
the pasture will be greatly benefited
by a top-dressing of bone dust. Two
or three hundred pounds to the acre,
sown broadcast, will repay attending
expenses in a better yield and qual
ity of milk and butter.

The Republican Central Commit
tee, by a vote of twenty-four to four,
located the Republican Convention

o'clock p. m. The basis of repre

tofore. Thi3 will be the first time
the Republicans have held a State
Convention at that city sinco the
admission of Nebraska to the Union.
Doubtless the delegates will be well
taken care of, though it will give the
southern range of counties a pretty
long trip, on account of the want of
