Mrs. Beecher neeins unable, since her
hiiabnnd'g death, to remain long away
from Brooklyn. Her white and pathet
i, ally composed face is teen among the
Plymouth | ai i-hionera every few weeks,
though nominally she is spending ths
season at Stamford.
The medicine chest it as m ich a neces
sity on trains tn on ships. So think the
managers of the Maine Central Bailroad,
who have now provided each one of their
conductors with “emergency” eases, if
we may so call them, containing, besides
medicines, linen and rubber bandages,
surgical instruments and whatever else
may he needed by the conductor or the
chance doctor in cast s of accident.
Tho only cities in the United Slates
having public baths are Boston, with
17; New York, 15; Philadelphia, (1;
Brooklyn, 3; Cleveland and Hartford,
each 1 ; ami Buffalo, the number not
given. In New York, 3,131,08(1 portions
bathed from .lune to October in 1883;
during the same lime in Boston, 0.19,005,
ami in Brooklyn, 225,885. hi eighteen
cities where there arc no public baths
only alrnut 23 per cent, of the residences
arc supplied with bath tubs.
It is stated that thirty three mission
ary societies now have workers in Africa.
The dark continent is encompassed on
every side, and, like the divisions of an
investing army, these missionaries are
moving toward tho centre, and closing
in upon the last strongholds of heathen
ism and the slave trade. Hundreds of
natives in the seminaries are preparing
to labor ns preachers or teachers, and
thousands of children are receiving
Ciiristiim instruction. It is said that
tile Scriptures have been translated, in
whole or in part, into sixty six of the
dialect* of Africa, while the whole Bible
has been rendered into eleven languages,
spoken by multitudes of natives,
A new kind of benefit club lias just
been started at Yetldoby a number of en
terprising young Japanese, who arc de
termined, if possible, to see the western
land from which comes the fashions and
notions th it are so completely revolution
izing Japan. The club is called the
Yoko-Haiskn, and the members are all
expected to pay n monthly subscription
of about n guinea to a special fund,
under the management of the club com
mittee. And every year this fund is used
up in the following way : The names of
three members of the club are drawn by
lot, and the first of those is accorded the
privilege of going to pa’s ten years in
Europe lit the expense of (he fund, for the
second a trip of live yours is arranged and
paid for, while the third pw/.r consists of
the neee>s:iry traveling expenses for one
year's visit to Europe. A< cording to re
rent accounts, the nu mbers of the Yoko
lla’sku will not remain long without im
itators in the chief citiesof Japan.
Miss Ella Wheeler Wileox, the well
known poet, says in the New Haven
I'Midium: “it is true that we are to
leave our M< lidcn home as soon as 1 am
strong enough to travel to some seaside
resort. Our new location for the fall has
not yet been dc< d< d upon. \\ e have no
idea ol going West, and 1 do not even
contemplate a visit there this summer.
It is true that in my early residence in the
h.a t I thought the people cu!d and un
sympathetic. I missed the warm and
<h moiisti.il i\c attrition which in the
land of my birth luy Western friends had
shown lor me; but 1 never had the
egotism to say or think that my literary
attainments were not appreciated here.
1 have, on the contrary, felt for several
years that the public at large overesti
mated me intellectually a fact I still
believe to be painfully true. During the
last: month of sew re illness and extreme
trial, the warm sympathy, tender soliei
tude«and overwhelming kindness which
the |M‘oplr of Meriden have exhibited to
me. and mine make me thoroughly
ashamed that I ever thought them cold
or indircivnt. It is a misfortune that
unn i' • words can never I e unsaid—we
tun only regret having uttered them.’’

WONDERFUL RIDING OF THE AR
APAHOE INDIANS.
Sweeping Along Like the Wind
While Hanging With One Foot
and Hand io Their Horses.
General James S. Brisbin writes to the
Omaha Ilcpnhllean: When we last parted
company with the readers of the HepuW
'•an we were in the Indian camp of the
Arapahoe Chief Friday. Here we saw
many curious scenesand learned much of
Indian life. One day Friday said to me
he would like to show off his young men
and let me sec how well they could ride.
At first 1 expected some treachery, as the
wintie herd of ponies were still in the
hands of the troops. The old Chief,
however, was so earnest and apparently
honest about it that I told tile Captain,
who had tlie herd in charge, he might
let Friday have fifty ponies for his young
men. in about an hour they drew up be
fore the tents in war paint and feathers,
and were as fine a looking set of young
fellows as I had ever seen. Hardly one
but was six feet in height and beautifully
proportioned. They sat their horses like
centaurs and were ease and grace itself
in the saddle. At a signal from the
Chief they began their movements with
a yell that sent the blood curdling in the
heart, and was enough, if heard Unawares
or in the night-time, to make one’s hair
stand on end. In a moment they had
disappeared over a neighboring hill to
the right, and I thought they had gone,
but, hearing a mighty t rampling of horses,
I looked to the left and there they came.
I can compare it to nothing but the
wind, and they swept by so swift and
compact that tney looked like a ball of
horses and men. Splitting in two, one
body swept to the right and another to
the left and again disappeared. In about
two minutes the two bodies charged each
other in solid lines, and I Waited almost
breathlessly for the shock, but as the
horses’ heads almost touched each other
the files skilfully opened to the right and
left and the lines pas-cd through tho
intervals without touching. Wheeling
to the right about they passed back iuan
instant and again disappeared over the
hills. It was about fifteen minutes be
fore they came in sight, and Friday in
formed me they were blowing their
horses. Presently on they came and
wheeled by fours, formed columns, broke
by fours, and finally deployed as skir
mishers. It was now we saw the finest
individual horsemanship. Some would
approach lying so close to the pony’s
back nothing but tlie horses could be
seen. Others stood up and rode as circus
men do. Some would hang with one
foot and one hand on tlie horses and
sweep by, their bodies completely pro
tected by the bodies of the animals.
Sonic leaped upon tlie ground, holding
*o tlie mane of the horse, and after run
ning a step Or two would swing them
selves up on the backs of the horsesagain
as easily as any circus man could do it.
The positions they assumed and the feats
of horsemanship they performed were in
credible, and I doubt if anything outside
of a circus ring ever equaled it. They
would throw objects on the ground and
pick them up again while, passing at full
speed, the warrioYs hanging to the sides
of the horses with one so t and one hand.
They drew bows and shot arrows from
underneath the nc Rs and even bellies of
their horses while riding at a fast gallop.
Our cavalry could not learn to ride as
well as these Indians did if each man was
trained for twenty years, They, exchanged
horses while riding and got behind each
other. One man would fall off his horse
as if wounded, and two others would
ride up beside him, and taking him by an
arm and leg, swing him between their
horses and carry him off. The exhibi
tion, or drill, ns Friday called it, lasted
nearly two hours, and the men and horses
were completely exhausted. I had never

had acquitted themselves, and I could
imagine the feelings of their parents and
sweethearts. The performers were much

Animal E'criiients
The curious observation has been made
by Mr. Fokker that if a portion of tissue
be taken from any part of the body of a
recently killed healthy animal, and in
troduced with precautions necessary to
prevent its contamination by microbes
into a sterilized liquid, it is capable of
converting sugar into acid and starch in
to glucose. Fokker attributes this ac
tion to the protoplasm of the anima 1 ,
since the fermentation goes on when the
most minute microscopic scrutiny fails to
reveal the presence of microbes. When
the production of acid has reached a cer
tain stage, the fermentation stops, but
upon neutralizing the liquid it recom
mences. The only difference detected
between the fermentation action of pro
topia-m ami that of microbes was quan
titative, that of microbes being greater,
it is guggested. in consequence of their
power of multiplication. Breuert'

The Result of Swallowing a Fork.
[From the LondomLaneet ]
Dr. William Wilson reports the fol-’
lowing interesting case:
“Cipriani, to whom you referred in a
recent number, while imitating the ex
ploits of a juggler in swallowing a fork,
some sixteen years ago, allowed it to
pass into hit! oesophagus beyond his con
trol. After various attempts at extrac
tion made by himself, his friends, and
his wife, lie was on the following day
transferred to the Ospedale de Santa :
Maria, Nuova, where also all efforts at
removal were unavailing. Several in
genius instruments were invented for |
the purpose, but failed. He remained
in the hospital for five weeks, suffering
more or less inconvenience, moral as
well as physical, for tho public were di
vided in opinion, some proclaiming him
only a fool, others an imposter. A year
or two afterward, having produced severe
pain, hemorrhage, and other untoward
symptoms, it was ascertained that the
fork had effected its exit from the stom
ach and passed into tlie intestines, ac
.utnpanied with a relief to tlie more ur
gent phenomena; motion, however, oc
casioned severe suffering. He now
wandered from place to place, a subject
of interest to some, of ridicule to others,
till three or four weeks ago he was at
tacked by acute pleurisy of the right
side, terminating in effusion, and was
admitted to the Ospedale di San Gio
vanni di Dio. Recovering from this,
attention was again directed to the
‘fork,’ which was discovered in the right
illiac fassa, pointing obliquely upward
to the left side. It was evidently fixed
in this situation, for palpitation effected
no change in its position, and enlarge
ment could be detected in the immediate
neighborhood. After long hesitation
he consented to an operation, which
was performed by the distinguished sur
geon Prof. Rosati, aided by his skilful
assistant, Dr. Catani. An 'incision was
made extending from an inch and a half
below the umbilicus perpendicularly
down to the pubes, and after consider
able difficulty the fork was extracted
from the ascending colon, the blunt end
pointing upward. There had been long
and constant inflammation, as was
proved by the great thickening of the
bowel, adjacent tissues, and the firm ad
hesion of tho colon to tlie abdominal
parietes. The bowel was opened, tho
edges secured to the abdominal integu
ments, and the wound dresced in the
usual way. The fork measured twenty
two centimetres, and presented but lit
tle erosion; for though the plating had
disappeared, the extremities retained
their original defined outlines. The
time which it had taken in reach
ing its ultimate destination could
not Iks accurately calculated, but prob
ably many years, judging from the con
dition of the surrounding textures. The
patient bore the operation well, and was
very anxious to secure possession of tlie
fork as conclusive evidence against his
detractors. There has been no fever or
unfavorable symptom, and the wound
is nearly healed, there remaining only
a small fistulous opening oommuuicut<
inc with the intestine ”

In overhauling some old papers in the
office of the Board of County Commis
sioners at tlie Court-House in Wheeling,
W. Va., documents having a face value
of about $150,000 were unearthed. The
papers bore tho signature of Lovell
Gore, and their perusal calls to mind a
mysterious death of a man of that name,
in this county, about tht' years ago.
In the summer of!882 a dirty, unkempt
and ragged stranger made his appear
ance and encamped by the roadside,
where he ate a frugal meal begged from
a neighboring farmhouse. Tho next
morning the old man was found nncon
cious and almost dead from an assault
made upon him during the night, xvhile
his clothing and the wagon had evident
ly been searched by some one having
knowledge of valuables in his posses
sion. The old man died in a few hours.
Sewed in his coat were found several
letters and papers, but these were sub
jected to a very superficial examination,
and were then sent to this city, where
they were tossed into a pigeon-hole at
the Court-House. The examination of
these papers showed them to consist of
promissory notes and bonds, deeds to
Vermont land and other evidences of
wealth to the aggregate amount above
mentioned.
