Violet Boat la A DRINK FOR LIFE. I cum to India in 185 as a private is the th, regiment; and my company formed part of the garrison at Arcot. Life in barracks in India is very dull; and I have often wondered that British soldiers out here are, on the whole, such a steady, well behared lot of lads. Com pare a soldier's life in a small Indian sta tion with being quartered eVen at Malta or Gibraltar, and either of these places will seem like paradise; though the "Bock" is by no means popular, and is always called a prison by the troops for the time being in garrison there. Well, we found Arcot horribly dull, audit was with great satisfaction that we heard an order had been given for our company to march to Vellore to strengthen the garrison there, which had been very much reduced by cholera. It was then about the middle of March, and consequently later than is usual for moving troops, as tlie days begin to get very hot on the plains in the Carnatic about that time of the year. But ours was special duty; and as we should only march in.the very early morning, we did not fear the inconvenience of the mid . day heat, but looked upon the whole thing as rather a lark, and a welcome change from the monotony of garrison duty. As to the cholera, not one of us gave it a thought Not likely it would touch one of us! It was on the second day after leaving Arcot that Private Thomas Atkins, who was my right file, suddenly had to fall oat. I expected him to rejoin the ranks before long; but did not trouble myself about his absence. It was not until we retched camp and had finished breakfast that I heard anything more about him. I then learnt that he was buried! I knew cholera was awfully sudden-in its attack and effects, but I had not im agined the possibility of its carrying off . a healthy man quite so rapidly. Of course immediate interment must take place 4s case of death on the line of saarrh I had liked Atkins much, but I fancy his death and burial were so sud den that the rest of us failed to realize the truth of what had happened to our comrade, and half expected to see him tarn up again. Anyhow, we soon forgot the incident Late in the afternoon I was listening to a description of Vellore by one of our fellows who had been there, and specu latiag on the chance of seeing the croco diles which Tippoo Sultan had placed in the moat around the fort, as the best possible sentinels to prevent prisoners from escaping or any of his troops from attempting to desert, when suddenly I felt spasms and sickness. "Holloa! old fellow, how blue you lookr remarked a companion sitting next to me; and as be spoke my com rades shrank terror stricken from me. It needed no doctor to tell me what was the matter. The cholera had seized me! I was hastily conveyed to the tempo rary hospital, where our assistant sur geon already had several cases of the disease under treatment, and I was laid oa a charpoy. I rapidly passed from the first to the second stage of that mal ady, and by 9 o'clock at night the inces sant vomiting and purging had reduced me to a condition of weakness approach ing insensibility. I was consumed by a burning, raging thirst, but the dresser disregarded all my entreaties for a drink of water. The system of treatment for cholera in those days allowed the pa tient nothing more than just to have the lips moistened occasionally with weak brandy and water, and this simply aggravated the torture of thirst Now adays champagne is given, and the suf ferer is allowed to drink pretty freely. The hospital was, of course, only a pandal, hastily constructed with palmy ra leaves, with a large cuscus mat at the entrances at each end. Two large chat ties of water were placed just outside each entrance, from which a coolie from time to time threw a pannikinf ul on the cuscus tathis, so that the wind, blowing through the wet mats, might cool the temperature inside the pandal. This re mit certainly was attained, but at the coat of intensifying the pangs of the pa tients, whose thirst was tantalized by hearing the splashing of the water. I had begged, sworn and menaced, at intervals, but no one paid the slightest heed to me; and I was sinking into that coaditioB) of torpor which to the immedi ate precursor of the third and fatal stage of cholera when I heard voices in the pandal. The assistant surgeon was making his last round for the nigne ac companied by the hospital dresser. With a violent effort I roused myself aad eagerly listened for their approach. I wanted to hear my fate pronounced. They stopped at length where I lay, aad the doctor examined my body. "Mottled!" I heard him remark to the esusser. 1 was nearly deafened by to ewhgnng or rather drumming in my ears. sol lay perfectly aiorinales., so as not to istasiagUwordof what they inigL. 3s escape see. if possible.

At least 1 should be re lieved from the torture of thirst and di happy. I tried to get up. but I was too weak to stand, and fell down at once. Then I reflected that I was more likely to be seen if I walked, and if detected in my attempt I should be brought back, and perhaps be strapped down to die. So I tried to crawL I was about ten minutes dragging my self the forty feet from my cot to the entrance, and 1 wriggled under the cus cus tathi like a snake. There were the chatties before me! The first I seized was empty, and the disappointment nearly made me swoon: but the second was brim full. I threw my arms around it, and dragged myself to it I plunged my head into the de licious, limpid water, and devoured rather than drank huge mouthful of the cool and heavenly fluid. I felt tny stomach swelling with the enormous draughts I swallowed: but I laughed and drank again and again. I recked naught of life and death then. At length I could drink no more, and then discipline asserted itself. I knew I had no right to be out there, and I thought if I were missed from my cot I should be reported. So I crept back the way I had come, and shortly after fell into a profound sleep. It was broad daylight when I awoke, and saw the assistant surgeon and dress er standing beside me. "How is thisT asked the doctor. ''Wetherall ought to have been dead. "Please, sir," said I, "I am feeling much better, and have no wish to make the sixth this morning." , He knew I had overheard his remark on the preceding night; he smiled sadly and said, "I am sorry to say there were six without you. But I cannot under stand how it is you are alive. Host ex traordinary 1" I rapidly recovered; and as I had never indulged in the pernicious country ar rack sold to soldiers out here, I was soon quite strong again. I was made sergeant very soon, and 1 remained upward of twenty years serving with different regi ments out here; but it was 'some time before I told any one bow I recovered from my attack of cholera. However, I told the doctor one day all about it; and, thougl1 he said the cold water ought to have k Jlcd me, I observed the poor fel lows who were in hospital with cholera got an extra allowance of water. All my people were dead or scattered, and I had no wish to return to England, so I took my pension; and the bounties I had obtained, added to my savings, enabled me to buy this bit of land. I am doing well, and have all a man can wish for to make him happy. Black wood's Magazine. Charts. The great charter was agreed to by King John on the 15th of June, 1215, at Eunnyuede. It was, in truth, not an act of parliament or statute, but a treaty between the king and his sub jects, and was framed upon a series of forty-nine articles drawn up by the barons and presented to the king. There was consequently two separate documents: one, "The Articles of the Great Charter of liberties," and the other, "The Great Charter" itself. Neither were signed by either the king or the barons. Both were sealed with the great seal of King John ; and, as we shall see, there is some evidence that the great charter was sealed by some of the barons; but the baron do not appear to have sealed the articles. The original articles are in the Brit ish museum, and a fac-simile of them is exhibited to the public, They are written in Latin, on parchment ten. and three-quarter inches broad and twenty-one and one-naif inches long, including the fold for receiving the label. To the label the great seal of King John is still appendant; but, unfortunately, the whole document has been greatly damaged. Its history is very obscure. At an early date it was probably deposited at Lambeth, and it apparently remained there till 1C45. At the end of the Seventeenth cen tury it was in the possession of Gilbert Burnet, bishop of Salisbury, and he S'ves in the "History of His Own me" the following account of the manner in which he came by it: When the impeachment of Archbishop Laud was brought to the bar of the lords, he. apprehending how it would end, sent over Warner, bishop of Eo chester, with the keys of his closet and cabinet, that he might destroy or put out of the way all papers that might either hurt himself or anybody else. He was at that work for three or four hours, till, upon Laud's being com mitted to the Black Rod, a messenger was sent over to seal up his closet, who came after all was -removed. Among the writings took away, it is be lieved the original Magna Charta pass ed by King John in the mead near Straines was one. This was found among Warner's papers by his execu tor, and that descended to his son and executor. Col. Lee, who gave it to me. So it b now in my hands, and it came very fairly to me. For this conveyance of it we have nothing but conjecture. As Burnet had been allowed to search all the public records, Lord Dartmouth sug gests that the above account was in tended to allay any suspicion that he obtained so valuable a document in a less justifiable manner.

Well, the verdict came in "manslaughter" in great shape, and the joyful attor ney for the defense couldn t get the $1,000 into the German's hands too auick.

DrMa In the western states and on the plains ox teams are driven with whips, and the oxen are trained to canter along the road in a not ungraceful trot. In New Eng land one never sees oxen driven faster than a walk. The use of the whip is humorously described by Mr. Kerr in his account of South African travel. Many and many a time had I used the short handled whip employed in herding cattle en the western prairies of America, but I was a complete stranger to the gi gantic and indispensable whip common to all South African caravans. In be coming initiated into the mysteries of its use I left numerous marks upon my face and neck, and was more than once nearly strangled. Whila vigorously pressing on the lead ing oxen I would fall heels over head into some deep bote. Sometimes the oxen would wheel quickly round, rush through the forest and break the young trees, while the old wagon rolled along like the grounding of a wrecked balloon.

The name is now applied only to the larger pipes, and the smaller ones are known as vermicelli, though there is no real difference between the two except the size of the tubes. The wheat is ground with the use of heat and moist ure into a sort of meal or paste called semola, from which the bran is excluded. This meal is made into a dough with water, and is forced through gauges from which it emerges as macaroni or vermicelli, the process resembling that of lead pipe drawing. Special varieties of wheat, those containing the largest i proportion of gluten, are demanded for the successful manufacture of macaroni. -. JWU UUUOCwCCJIiUg. Not the Same Jim.

The pathologists of the New York city health department, in their report on the prevention of tuberculosis, specially em phasize the following facts: First, that tuberculosis is a distinctly preventable disease; second, that it is not directly in herited; and, third, tliat it is acquired by the direct transmission of the tubercle bacillus from the sick to the healthy, usually by means of the dried and pul verized sputum floating as dust in the air. The measures, then, which are sug gested for the prevention of the spread of tuberculosis are: First, the security of the public against tuberculous meat and milk, attained by a system of rigid official inspection of cattle; second, the dissem ination among the people of the knowl edge tliat every tuberculous person may be a source of actual danger to his asso ciates, if the discharges from the lungs are not immediately destroyed or render ed harmless: and, third, the careful dis infection of rooms and hospital -.wards that are occupied, or have been occupied, by phthisical patients.

The purchase of these lands by tne nation means a permanent invest- ment in trust for the Indian. And it is , nnt M.r.i.n -,,. h-, .....-t.-i j farm to the fells at Waskerley. During ue process of packing them in a cart I the bottom fell off one of the hives, and. as a natural consequence, the bees came buzzing out and stung Mr. Murray and his companions, as well as stinging the horse attached to the cart. The animal bolted away in fright Hundreds of bees, found their way out of the remain der of the hives, and not only stung the occupants of the cart and the horse in a dreadful manner, but the insects also fastened themselves upon a number of school children who were having a ride, through the village on a hay cart. Mr. f W nd his companion (Mr. Elliott) were left lying on the ground in an ex hausted and almost unconscious state, and the horse was so badly injured by the insects' stings that it fell down upon the road and succumbed the same night Sir. Murray was also confined to his bed for some time, but on Saturday he was reported to be much better. The rest appear to be vety little worse. Pall Mall Gazette. Th Cettoa Wai one drug house That one drug house in Vicksburg should receive orders for fifteen tons, or 80.000 pounds, of pari green in one day demonstrates the extent of the appre hension felt by cotton planters concern ing the cotton worms in the large area of country tributary to or trading with that city. With the .cotton worms ap parently so formidable in their second generation, the third generation, which forms a vast increase over its progeni tora, may do very serious damage. It is extremely unfortunate, if it be true, that the available supply of paris green has been already exhausted. It is likely that far more than the amount already used will be needed. Where these pests are unchecked by poison, in their third gen eration, they have been known to rav age cotton fields and leave the stalks as bare of foliage in the .latter part of Au gust and September as they are in early February before being pulled up and burned, preparatory to the planting of a new crop. New Orleans Times-Democrat araitaiy There is about modern "Mohammedan ism, at least of the military type, noth ing of the uncertainty and shillyshally with which modern Christianity is some times reproached. The prophet under dtood the natural man of Asiatic and African races perfectly well, and his mode of procedure is still fully justified with them. He did cot, like some un wise fanatics, promise universal victory, invulnerabkness, or anything of the kind. The followers of the Khalifa are quite aware that they may be collective ly defeated and individually killed. But that does not interfere either with their certainty of the ultimate success of their cause, with their sense of the duty of offering coaveraioB, tribute or the.sword, or with their enjoysaeat of the comfort able prospects of the ssartyred believer.
