Singing Squaws in Dakota.
[Mrs. Gen. Custer’s Book.]
Ono morning we heard singing and
found that tho squaws were surging
down from their quarters, nearly a mile
distant. We had not received a hint of
the honor to be conferred, and were
mystified when they all halted in front
of our house. They had come to give
us a dance. It was au unusual occur
rence, for the women- rarely take part
in any but the most menial services.
They were headed by Mrs. Long Back,
the wife of the chief of the scouts. She
was distinguished as the leader by a
tall dress hat that had been the property
of Borne society man when he wore
civilian dress in the states. They began
going around after each other in a jog
ging, lumbering sort of movement and
singing a humdrum song in a minor
key. Much of the tinery we had seen
at the genuine war dance was borrowed
from the warriors for the occasion. It
was festooned over the figures of the
women already well covered with
blartkets, and the weight was not cal
culated to add materially to their grace.
The ranking lady had a saber which her
chief had received as a present and this
she waved over the others in command.
One woman carried her 0 weeks’ old
papoose on her back, and his littlo,
lolling head rolled from side to side as
the mother trotted round and round
after the others.
During the dance one of the officer's
colored servants rushed out, and in his
excitement almost ran his head into the
charmed precincts. An infuriated
squaw, to whom all this mummery was
the gravest and most momentous of con
cerns, flew at him, brandishing a toma
hawk over his head. He had no need to
cry, VOh; that this too, too solid flesh
would melt!” for his manner of vanish
ing was little short of actual evapora
tion into air. Neither his master nor
any one else saw him for twenty-four
hours afterwards.
When the women stopped their cir
cumvolutions, for want of breath, we
appeared on the porch and made signs
of thanks. They received them with
placid self-satisfaction, but the more
substantial recognition of the general's
thanks, in the shape of a beef, they ac
knowledged more warmly.
A Question lor the Doctors.
[Chicago Tribune.]
Every now and then facts come to
light which seem to conflict strangely
with the theories ot' the doctors. Eor
instance, at Howdon, England, a dirty,
desolate village on Tyneside, a boy was
born who at the time of his birth had
tho following extraordinary number of
grandparents and great-grandparents
alive: The grandfather and grand
mother on the father’s side were hearty
and well, and so were Loth parents of
the grandfather and the mother of the
grandmother. The grandfather and
grandmother on tho mother's side were
active and strong and so were both
parents of the grandmother. The boy
thus had four grandparents and five
great grandparents alive, each of whom
was in active work, earning his or her
own livelihood.
Yet the village where these hale and
hearty grandsires and granddaines live
and l ourish is one of the most unsani
tary in England Open sewers run down
the center of some of the streets. Un
til a few years ago the water supply
was from one shallow well. Only one
solitary scavenger is employed on half
time for cleaning, repairing, and main
taining all the streets. Houses have
been condemned wholesale as unfit for
human habitation, 1o the intense dis
gust of the people. Yet, notwithstand
ing all these adverse conditions, these
families lire and thrive as vigorously
as Jews in their Ghetto. What do the
doctors make of that?
flow Coral Inlands Grow.
[Capt. Chimin'), British Navy.]
First it makes a break or ripple on the
surface; something is then drifted and
entangled on it—maybe a log of wood,
a dead tree, a mass of weeds; then
birds bring their food of fishes, seeds,
etc., and leave the tones there; sand,
gravel and broken shells accumulate
around it, and it begins to appear above
water. Peeds drifting on the ocean are
next arrested in their progress; dead
wood, decayed leaves, fishbones form a
sod; the seed germinates, a%l rapidly,
too, with the heat and rains of
the tropics—generally the mangrove;
this becomes a bush, then a tree, its
roots grasp the surrounding soil, and it
becomes the nucleus of a mangrove
island, waiting for some passing dis
coverer to name it!
I have watched with real interest the
progress of these islets from year to
year, first the ripple, then the collection
of leaves, sand and shells, then the first
shoot of the mangrove, then the sei
shells, the hermit crab and the surface
ocean shell, all soon to become a coral
island.

A WEALTHY FARMER’S
RELIABLE TESTIMONY.
Take Special Kate of the FolUtwtng History of
a Very Interesting Case.
Near the thriving village or Dundee, a few
miles west of that queen of the lakes of cen
tral New York, Seneca, lives Mr. Daniel Sup
pler, a gentleman of about 70 years. Mr. Sup
plee owns a very large and highly cultivated
farm, which has lor many years had the en
viable reputation of being the best farm In
all that section. Every crop lie plants seems
to thrive, and Ills advice Is much sought by
youngerandlessexperleuced farmers. "About
two years ago,” Mr Supplee writes, ‘‘l suffered
from a very severe attack of diabetes. It re
duced me in rtesli so that I was only skin and
bon«s, and my skin was shriveled and wrin
kled badly, my urine contained such a large
percentage of sugar tnat when it was spilled
the sugar would crystaiize so as to make a
coating plainly visible. My life was despaired
of by my family and physicians. Commenced
using Hunt’s [Kidney and Liver] Remedy at
this stage ofmy sickness; I improved steadily
and was cureil, and am now able to again per
sonally .superintend the management of my
e.\tensive farming operations. Hunt's [Kid
ney and Liver] Remedy Is a grand medicine
for Diabetes and all Kidney Troubles.”
A gentleman hearing of these lacs and
wishing to kow further of the matter for him
self, wrote to Mr. C. P. McLean, a large dry
goods merchant and grocer, of Dundee, and
a man of great integrity and worth, asking
for information in the matter. He received
the following reply:
Dundee, N. Y., Jan. 3, ISBS.
Dear Sir: Yours of 2d lust, at hand tills
morning. I would say that I think the use of
Hunt's [Kidney and Liver] Remedy in Mr.
Daniel Supplee’s ease certainly saved his life.
He was going down very fast previous toils
use and began to show an improvement soon
after he began to take the Remedy. Mr. W.
B. Wtgbtman, Wholesale Grocer, Providence,
R. 1., is also knowing to ell facts in Mr. Sup-
case. Yours truly,
WEST SHORE R. K. CONDUCTOR.
New’ York, January 23,1835.
HUNT'S REMEDY CO.:
Gentlemen— Having been afflicted with a
severe attack of Kidney trouble, which disa
bled me from my business. I was persuaded
by a friend on the train to try Hunt’s [Kid
neyand Liver] Remedy, as he recommended
it in the highest possible terms as a sure cure
for Kidney Disease and all troubles of the
Urinary Organs. I began to improve rapidly
soon after 1 commenced taking the Remedy,
and it has cured me, besides, as I believe,
saving me from a long sickness. I have fre
quently recommended Hunt’s [Kidney and
Liver] Remedy to my afflicted friends, and its
use lias always resulted in restoring them
rapidly to health. I deem it a duty as well as
a privilege to recommend-so good and relia
ble a medicine as I have proved Hunt’s ]Kid
ney and liver] Remedy to be. _
Yours, W. W. C. MEREDITH,

How au Atlanta Woman was
Made to See and Hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.
Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs.
George Fickland, 41 McAfee street. Atlanta,
Ga., and from her own lips a Constitution re
porter learned the following story:
Several months ago she became almost to
tally blind and deaf, and could not tas'e any
thing except s»lt. Her bones became the seat
ol intense pain, lier joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and
limbs became covered witli splotches and
small sores. Her appetite failed, and she
gradually lost flesh and strength, and had but
little use oi herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed She, as well as her friends
and those with whom she lived, despaired of
her recovey. Her sufferings, combined with
loss of hearing and taste, and blindness, Were
truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use
of medicine- seemed potverless. Her dis
ease was biood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the re
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change.
-I used a medicine recommended by a
fridnd,” she replied, “and before one bottle
had been taken I began to see and hear. The
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains
and improved mv appetite. When I had com
pleted the use oi six bottles my eyesight and
nearing were fully restored, sense of taste re
lumed, and splotches disappeared, sores all
healed, and my strength and flesh restored.
I now feel as well as I ever did, and my
friends, as well as myself, are astonished.
“What was the Medicine?” asked the re
porter. _
“Botanic Blood Balm—B. B. B. was the
great remedy that a ted so powerfully on my
disease and cured me. I never experienced
any unpleasant symptoms from Its use, and
iis action is so quick that it surprises all.”
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case, whereupon he handed us the
following lines:
“1 examined the above case of blood poison
and rheumatism, before and after being
cured, and certify to the main facts above
stated, and must acknowledge that the B. B.
B. effected a most wonderful cure In this
well-known case. _ _ ~
