The Goajira Indians live on a penin¬ sula of the same name, which forms the extreme northwestern part of Venezuela. They remain in almost pristine simplicity, owing to their antipathy to the whites. British Consul Plumacher of Maracaibo, however, has been able to obtain some in¬ formation respecting their customs and arts. It is well known that revenge is a uni¬ versal custom and duty among savages. If a man bo hurt or killed, his family, clan, gens, totem, or tribe must take up the quarrel, and demand blood money or payment in kind. The Goajiras carry this rule still far¬ ther. Mr. Plumacher asserts that if a man accidentally wound himself, break a limb, or meet with any similar acci¬ dent, his mother’s family immediately demand of him the “payment of blood.” This is on the theory that, as his life is not his own but theirs, he has no right to impair it without making compensa¬ tion. The relatives of the father also claim the payment of their “tears,” which is of less value. This difference of the child’s relationship to father and mother is a well known fact among the lowest savages. Even the friends who have witnessed the accident are entitled to compensation for the grief into which they are plunged at seeing their com¬ panion suffer. The amount of the pay¬ ment depends on the character of the in¬ jury. A trifling cut of the finger calls for a little corn, a kid, or sometliing of equal value, and, if the matter is more serious, nothing less than a goat or a sheep, or perhaps a cow, can assuage the sorrow of the sympathizing relatives. If the injured party is too poor to satisfy these demands, he must go beg¬ ging from hut to hut, and no one will re¬ fuse to contribute his mite to assist in the performance of this recognized duty. If an Indian borrows a horse from his friend, and is thrown, or in any way in¬ jured, his relatives demand compensa¬ tion from tlie owner of the animal, alleg¬ ing that the accident could not have hap¬ pened had he not lent it. In case a per¬ son is injured by his own animal, ho himself must compensate his relatives accordingly. The seller of an article is responsible for its use, and for this reason traders in rum go strongly armed among the Goaji¬ ras. If a person should be wounded or lose his life while attemptiug to kill an¬ other. the victim must pay “blood and tear” money, as if he had been aggressor. Should a child die in the alrsence of one of its parents, the one who was present can demand from tho other payment for the tears supposed to be shed over the oc¬ currence.—O. T. Mason in The Epoch. How Music Plates Are Prepared. Music is not published iiko a book, with typo or stereotyped plates, for there are so few fonts of musical type in ex¬ istence that it would not pay to try this method. A musical font is very expen¬ sive, as so many little points and marks have to be used in a sheet of music that it would not be worth while keeping them where a great deal of music is pub¬ lished. Besides, such a person as a mu¬ sical compositor is scarce. The way publishers do is to take a smooth lead plate and have a skilled workman etch and then route each note and line after the copy furnished him. A solid black proof, with the music white, of course, is taken from the plate and read. The corrections are made by fill¬ ing up the holes in the plate with metal. Then the lines and marks made by tho etching are filled with wax and an ink roller is passed over the plate; a rag is used to nib off tho ink. It takes off the ink from the smooth metal, but leaves it on the beeswax, which absorbs tho ink. Then an impression on damp paper is taken, and, of course, only the wax spots are black. This gives the musical page sold by dealers as a song. The process of printing is slow, as it is by hand press. If a large number is desired an impres¬ sion of tho plate is taken with transfer ink and put on a lithographing stone, when lithograph copies arc printed.— Globe-Democrat. Paper can be compress^ so hard that it will tear a chisel into pieces if the latter is held against it. w “The relieve Greater -noro quicker Cure thnr^anjr o \ Earth other for P&in.” k*own rera-i Willf Scalds, Neck, Cuts, BrnJuJ Lumba-, Luir.s, Pleurisy, Sores, Front-hit ipo, kaclMJ, Quinsy, Sore Thro 'l < aft Bit Bcl-Mira.

A jipteiul froui McDonough, the 7tb inst., says : Politics in this county is begin ning to assume definite shape. For a number of years Henry county hae been enjoying the fruits of pro bibition, but there has been all time an undercurrent striving to gain enough to join issue with the prohibition party. Personal liberty has its way to the surface. On the of our little town prominent men talk about local government, rm-ut of personal rights, etc. denounce the prohibition law of county as a fraud ; others claim that it has been ruinous to country people, <>r.d that it has taken ky from the towns and placed blind tigers in the country. As the stands, it would require an act the legislature to give the people ebance to vote on this question* therefore the issue for tive will be wet or dry. Dr. I. L. Gunifr will make race for the wet side. Dr. GuDter is a prominent Baptist preacher, and enjoys the largest practice of any physician in the country. He hates the'revenue law in all of its ways and is not averse to his fellow citi zeris taking a drink when they want it. It is not known as yet who ibe dry side will pnt up. Colonel Thom ub B Harwell, of this town, will solicited by many of the best citizens of the county to make tho race. Col Harwell has gained much promi nence during the short lime that he has been practicing law at the Me Donough bar. He has won an envia ble reputation. He represents young democracy of the county and is an orator of uo small dimen sions. Every inch of ground will be strong ly contested by both sides. It will no doubt be one of the most contests liemy county has ever perienced. Wo have beard of littlo_ oppositiou to Judge Stewart for congress. It would be for any man in the district to this county will him unless the peal of the revenue law should be come a national issue. Ir. that things would take a different course. The county would go for a full peal by an overwhelming majority. .. ............ ■ ■ » - ■ '■ Over-Worked Women.
