When I say good news from Worth, I mean good hcnltli and hog-killing; spare-rib* anil barli-bonc* three times a day; and the best part of it is that it is not long between meals these short day*. It is very true that our crops are short, and perhaps several of us will be hard up for hreadstiiffs; ns for meats, we see no danger of starvation at all ns yet awhile. There are loo many big fat steers anil muttons in the backwoods, and a great many arc not very particular how the ears arc- cut, nor how the brand stands, so down him hoys and let uslinvcsome- tliing fresh on the table. 1 very of ten think of von, Messrs. Kditors, when I go to the table tiiese eool mornings and find n nice fat possom baked as brown as a ginger cake, with a little red apple in his mouth on the table. Oh, I know you are so fond of possom and yams. The hoys are having lots of fun hunting foxes, raccoons and possums since the old rattle snakes have gone home. We are certainly the happiest people in ilie land. In the first place, we enjoy the best of health. On our tables at any and all times is pork, beef, mut ton, venison, turkey, etc. fin you see we live at home. We have a pretty fair range for cattle, hogs and sheep, and I have raised one hundred head of hogs in the Inst eighteen months, and don’t think I fed fifteen bushel- of corn—I mean to raise them. I have about half way fattened and killed twentv-onc head of them this fall, and they made me a pretty lot of nice, sweet meat. So it leaves me about eighty head of beautiful young stock hogs, and 1 have very few but what would ilo to eat. First best in the woods ofl'of the mast, von see. We are having some excitement about the removal question to the Railroad. Every one seems to want lo locate a place of his own on the Railroad. One wants Ty Tv, anotli- Alforil's, another MoPhniil’s, another Isabella Station, another Stockade; some the old man John Ford’s. So you see it is out of the question to remove to any one of llie above places mentioned, and give encral satisfaction, so let us rcbi.ild up at old Isabella again. If 1 had been Ordinary of Worth county I would have had a courthouse and jail house up long since. We return our thanks to Col. Tift for giving this vicinity such a great blessing—a steam gin aud a corn mill; fourteen hundred pounds in the seed turns out five hundred pounds of lint cotton ; one bushel of corn gives us forty- eight pounds of meal and a good mess of h liuiny. We always find our good, clever S. A. Boone at liis post. Very respectfully, WaKHKX SlUVEU. THE PEOPLES’ PETITION. Wc, the laborers on the line of the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, all the way petition the Hon. C. L. Schlatter, Chief Kiiginccr, and also his Honor, K. I>. Meatier, General Superintendent on said line from Brunswick to Albany, to open their hearts anil pay 2.7 cents for each anil every good cross tic that is got to their orders, 0 inches heart, C inches thick, 10' inches face. It is well known by the laboring class of peo ple that a good tic got lo order is cheap enough at 25 ccnLs. We hope to hear a rise on ties of five per cent on tiic B- ami A. line soon. Most respectfully, Kvkiiyuoiiy. Crum and Effect. The main cause of nervousness is indigestion, and that is caused by weakness ot the stomach.

Sec other column.—Advance. A little hoy tumbled into a barrel of molasses. He was fished out by a gentleman, who said : “Boy, wlial is your iininc ami how do yon feel ?” The lad's reply was “Itliort and wcet.” The gentleman remarked that he was in a hurry, and he could only stop long enough to assure llie boy that lit: stood a fair show of be ing president some day.

How Buflulo Bill got Ilia Name. “How did you get the name of ‘Buffalo Itil,’ Mr. Coily ?” “In 181)7, when the Kansas Pacific road was luring built, I was in the service of the government. One of the malingers of the road cairn: to me anil said the men were out of meat, and asked me what I would eontrael to furnish twenty-five buffaloes a day for. I told him I was in the service of the government and could ind work for him at any price. The company, however, made an arrange- incnt with the government so I goi off, anti he hired me at $500 a moiitl lo shoot liiifftlocs. 1 thought $500 per mouth was the biggest salary any mail ever received. I went to work and in eighteen months I killed 4,- 280 buffaloes. The -I’addys’ employ ed on the road, as n consequence, be came very tired of bullalo meat.— When they saw me coming they knew my appearance heralded fresh supply of tough bullalo meat and they said, one lo nnollii*r, “lie dud, here comes Buffalo Bill again sharpen up your grinders, we’ll have more meat now.’ _ I soon liccnnif known along the entire line of tic Kansas Pacific ns Buffalo Bill.” “Come here, my lad,” said an at torncy to a hoy about nine years old The hoy came and asked the attorney what case was to he tried next ? 'i'll lawyer answered : “A case between the I’opc nnd the devil; which d you think will lie most likely to guiu ilie action?” - The hoy replied guess it will he a hard sqllrr/.e—Hi Pope lias the most money, but devil has the most lawyers.” Von can always tell whether an eil itor is a single or a married man by bis selections of poetry for llie paper.

They all ad mit your right to the Presidential nomination, hut think you should sa crifice your claims lor llie party, and aceept the sernnil plan-on Hie ticket?’. “I do not want tin; Viee Presiilen- :v,” he answered ; “ami have said It 'ould not he required of me to ac eept a nomination for it.. Any talk of myself for that place is wasted.— The question of my making any sup posed sacrifice for my party has two sides. 1 was willing lo yield to tlie wislies of the party ill 187t’>, ami was elected. The Republican members said their candidate was elected, anil they meant to inaugurate him. The Democratic mnimgers submitted the rights and decision of the majority to a trial by polilieinns, giving the liter side a majority of the jury.— These are the fuels, and the people know them. I Ihink any good man an lie elected by llie Democrats, and Hie parly shall have all llie aid ami ill lienee i can give to its nominees. I do not regard myself a necessity to parly sin Tlie above is his answer verbatim. A Hot Water Kiver. The proprietor of the Sutro Tunnel is ol tlie opinion Hint the hot water ivliieli is so troublesome in the Com- itoek mines comes from the depth ol ten or lifleen thousand lect, where the rocks are at a high temperature; also Hull there must he some coimec- iou between the water of the Com stock lode and that ot the boiling piings.il Steamboat, six or seven miles distant. One of tlie great advantages of the tunnel is the means it affords for Iraiuing Hie mines. The .tunnel dis burses about 12,(KX) tons of water very 24 hours. To lift this water to ■ lie surface would tost not less Hum $3,000 a day. Some of tlie water has i temperature of 1U5 degrees where til the water mingles; four miles from the moiitli of the tiiiiucl the temperature ranges from lift I degrees to 135 degrees. If left to flow thro' the open tunnel this water would so fill Hie ail* with steam as to make the MiiiiicI impassable. In flowing four miles through a tight tliiuie made of i-incli yellow pine, the water loses hill 7 degrees of heat. At tlie mouth of the tunnel the water is conducted (ill feet down a shaft to a water wheel in the machine shop, whence it is cur led off by a tunnel 1,100 feet in b'liglh, which serves as a tail race.— From this tunnel llie water llows a mile and a half lo the Carson Kiver. This large flow of warm water is now used for many purposes, Hie first to utilize it having been boys who made small ponds to swim in— pioneers, it may he, in establishing a system of warm baths, which inay ul timately become a great sanitary re sort. The water can also he turned lo account in heating hot houses and for irrigation. The tunnel company have a farm of over 1,000 acres which, when properly watered, is very fertile. In course of time there wili pgohahly he many acres of fruit anil vegetables under glass at ibis point, all warmed and watered by the tunnel water.—Scientific Ameri can. A Iteverse of Fortune. When Robert Stephenson was re siding ill Columbia anil on Hie point of returning home, he arrived at Hie ion of Cartagena, wearied and wait- ng for a ship, ami while sitting one day in a large, hare, comfortless pub lic room of the miserable hole! which lie pul up, he observed two strangers whom he at once perceived to be Knglish. One of tlie strangers was a tall, gaunt man, shrunken anil hollow-looking, shabbily dressed, aud apparently poverty-stricken.— On making inquiry, lie found it was Trcvethitik, the builder of the first railway locomotive! lle.wnsretiirn- iug home from the gold mines of l’cru penniless. He had left England in 1811), with powerful steam-engines, intended for the drainage and work ing of llie Peruvian mines. He met with almost a royal reception on his landing at Lima. A guard of honor was appointed to attend him, and it even proposed to erect a statue of lion Iticni-do Trcvethick in solid silver. It was siven forth in Corn wall licit his emoluments amounted to £100,out* a year, anil that he was making a gigantic fortune. Great, therefore, was Kolicrt Stephenson's ilirprisc lo find this patent Don Ki- -ardo in the inn at Curlageiia, rc- luccd almost to his last shilling, nnd ■inalile to proeeeil farther. lie had indeed realized the truth of the Span ish proverb licit “a silver mine brings misery ; a gold mine ruin.” He and his I’rieud Icid losteverv thing ill their journey across the country from Pe ril. 'They Icid forded rivers and wandered through forests, leaving all llicir Imggiug behind them, and Icid reached thus far with little more than Hie clothes on their hacks. Almost the only precious metal saved hy Trcvethick was a pair of silver spurs, which lie look hack with him to Cornwall, Itohert Stephenson lent liiin JUS!* to enable him to reach Kng- Innd ; and, though he was afterward heard of as an inventor there, he hail no further part of the triumph of the locomotive. ■A LmiIjt'n Wish. “Oil, how I do wish iny skin was as clear and soft as yours,” said a la dy lo her friend. “You can easily make il SO,” answered the friend.— •‘llow?” inquired llie first lady. “By using Hop Billers, licit makes pure rich blood aud blooming licallh.

It may he broadly staled licit tlie older hislorians believed and Hie later doubled. Wlcit Icid been staled as fad wa- sharply divided myth and probable fael. ’To llie former were relegated those legendn- y tales where the grandiose, fautas- ie aud superhuman predominated, ftbesleryilid not square with the knowledge of llie period it wasealled myth. Bui us knowledge widens tlie niiMtrndivc historian takes bis place, lie peers into Hie misty re- esses of the |iasl with earnest gaze, ■lot Huti-ticd Hint Its legends and tra ditions are all mere romances, invent ed by the idle for pastime or hy cun ning’ priests and kings for selfish nils. They delve with the spade like Layard and Sclilicimiiin ; they search through forgotten records of human speech like Kawlinson and Muller; they measure far distant dales hy elaborate astronomical calculations, and so they reconstruct. While tlie voyages of Jason, the stories of Ilo- mer, the lost Atlantis of Plato are given more solid form, the superhu man elements in them nre presented different light. They are no longer supernatural. The glamour of eompciling gods and interceding 'oildessi'S gives place to the glow of the great forces of nature, or the glare of heroic hut simply human deeds.— The events themselves recede under this scientific scrutiny to ages stijl more remote. What the first histori ans agglomerated in the dramatic le gend of an epoch of uncertain hut not great remoteness, and which the doubling historians rejected for its ovcr-romplctcncss of detail and ar rangement, the reconstructive histo rian discerns as the broidered or cor rupted narrative of events perhaps ages apart, and all reaching back into the cycles of time before mail had made a single written sign. Of course the Bible lias been the study of the two orders or critics of history. In the Inst century “pro gressive” thought rejected in scorn the cosmogony of the Old Testament along with its inspiration. Then what a child’s story they thought the Deluge, how they laughed at the builders of Bahel and scuffed at the fire from heaven which destroyed the ities of the plain ! But the story of a jreat Asian cataclysm in far off ages, borne out hy writings not at all in- pired, becomes more and more of a crlainty. thanks to tlie Assyrlolo- gisls, and in tlie confusion of tongues is traced tlie story of the parentage mil lingual differentiation of a great, world-conquering race. Professor Proctor's leller on deatli- ilcaling mcU'oritics in Tuesday’s Her ald suggests that science may “natu ralize” the destruction ol Sodom. If Either his computation that one per son in every four hundred years may lie, or I he statement that nine per sons in the last nine centuries have been killed hy meteorites is dcmoti- truble the natural basis for such a calamity is established. Anil what lias happened once may happen again. Remember how Hie atmosphere, as tlie earth speeds through spare at over eleven hundred miles to tlie minute, would heat any dense bodies passing through it. Says Genesis: “The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. Then the Lord mined upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and tire from the Lord out of heaven.” Tradition would not soon lose sight of such a terrible story as is here in dicated. Would not piety at length give the legend of a natural catastro phe like this a great personal impulse from on high, aud make it point to Hie distant after ages, when writing began, a moral of wickedness pun ished?—New York Herald.

Flesh is flesh and paint is paint, nnd not all the art of man, or woman even, can by any possibility make the one be mistaken for the other.
