An Indian War EnGed

The Indian War in Washington Territory
has been brought to end, and a peace has
been made with the late hostile Ceur d. A.
lene, Spokan, Pend dOreille and Pelouse
tribes. The last mail carried to Washington
an account of Col. Wright's second battle on
the Spokar Plains in which he defeated the
red men completely, afterward taking 900 hor-
ses, most of which he shot. This was on the
9th ult., the battle being fought about $50
miles northeast of Walla Walls, and near the
Spokan River. The Ceur dAlene Indians
Immediately sued for peace, but the Cffer did
not come in such manner as to please Col.
Wright, so he pushed forward with all possible
speed into the heart of the Cnur d'Alene
country, destroying everything as he went a.
long. These Indians raise considerable guam
titles of wheat and potatoes, have large herds of
horses, and many of them live in comfortable
houses, or at least warm huts. Adopting the
rule of fighting the Indians on their own sys-
TEN, Col. Wright had every species of valua-
bic property destroyed. The Indians were
greatly astonished by the speed of Colonel
Wright's advance, and before they could pre-
pare to resist him they were reduced to COM
parative poverty. They did not dare to come
within range of his MIME rifles, and they fed
to the mountains in despair. Father Josef, a
Jesuit Missionary among them, assured them
their lives would be spared if they would sur
render, and they at once sued for peace, offer
ing TO give mp the two young men who had
been the chief instigators OF the attack on
Steptoe, and to give hostages for their future
good conduct. Col. Wright accepted the of
fer, and the red men, with their squaws and
papooses, at once went to the Mission, where
the United States forces were. The two war
makers and the hostages were given up, and
sent to Walla Walla. The other tribes, COM
pletely terrOr-stricken and discouraged by the
submission of the brave and the powerful
Ceur d'AleneS, also sought peace by uncon-
dtional submission, and obtained it by giving
hostages. The campaign has made very
great impression upon the Indians of Oregon
and Washington; they had no conception that
the BostOns were so powerful, or could march
so rapidly, or kill men at such long ranges.
The Oregon and Washington papers give the
praise for the effectiveness OF the campaign to
Gen. Clarke, and say that he is the best Indian
fighter there has ever been on the coast.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

BY JOHN G.. SAKE.
Good luck is all :" the ancient proverb teaches
But though it looks so very grave and WISE
Trust not the lazy lesson that it teaches
For. as it stands, the musty maxim Aes
That luck is something were a truer story
And in lies mingled game of skill and luck,
The cards that win the stakes of wealth and glor,
Are Genius. Patience, Perseverance, Pluck
To borrow still ano other illustration,
4 trife more specific and precise
Small chance has luck to guide the operation.
Where cunning Wit has loaded all the dice
The real secret of the certain winner
Against the plottings of malicious Fate,
Learn from the story of gaming sinner,
Whose frank confession l will here relate,
In this ere business in any other
BY which chap honest living earns
feu don't get all the science from your mother
But as you foller it. you livos and learns;
And /, from being much behind the curtain,
And getting often very badly stuck,
Finds out n I last. there's nothing uncertain
As trusting cards and everything to luck
go now You sec-which nat rally enhances
The faith in Fortune that used to feel
takes good care to regulate the chances,
lind altrays has finger ia tile deal

the locus in quo, the taxes had been paid. Eli
ther of these things would be pretty effectual
defeuce, but being questions of fact would be
for the Jury and not the Judge to determine;
and if in view of such facts, the under direc-
tion was given to return verdict for the de-
fendant, it was error.
We see no effect, prejudicial to the plaintiff,
likely to have followed the remark of the
learned Judge, assigned as error in the further
specification. If the remark was meant to
convey the idea that the owner could not with
draw his redemption if done shortly after 1T
wax $pade, and take back the redemption
money with the permission of the treasurer,
and counsel of the purchaser, and permit the
sale TO stand, we think it would have been err
ror. He could undoubtedly do so. But it is
not easy to say whether this was the intent and
meaning of the remark or not.
For the reasons given, this Judgment is re-
yersed and renire de moro awarded.
The case was argued before the Supreme
Court, by l.. j. Craas, Esq, for pl'tff in error,
and W. a. Wallace, Esq, for deft. in error.

slow and silent tread. In appearance, move
ment, and weapon, he was the exact counter
| part of the image seen by Mr.. Saunders in his
| dream.
What was the traveller to do, unarmed as
he was, to escape the menacing peril2 He
felt glued to the spot upon which he stood by
the very lmminence Of the danger which ap-
parently confronted him. To leap from the
platform to the earth would imperiI both life
and limb. face to face encounter with an
armed man could only end in his being des-
perately wounded or Immediately killed. Nor
was there even time 10 escape through the
room with the hole in its floor, for the despe-
RADIO had already mounted to the higher illu-
minated step, and was only few feet distant
from Mr.. Sanders.
Summoning all the resolution he could COM
mand, he cried out, EsWho comes there 2''
Startled by the voice. the man threw up his
face, and Mr.. Sanders at once recognised him
| as the landlord of the inn. Without saving
word he turned, almost ran down the steps,
and hurried round the corner of the house in
the direction he had come.
Mr.. Saunders Immediately descended the
steps himself and walked, with no laggard
steps, to the house on the outskirts of the
village, where, after some entreaty, he pro-
cured lodgings for the night.
Early the next morning, he sent messen-
ger for his horse, with money to pay his bill.
He made no mention of the occurrences of the
previous night, but, soon as his horse was
brought mounted and resumed his journey.
Some years afterwards he met his former
host, face to face, upon of the streets of
Columbus, Georgia. They mutually recog-
nised each other, but, in n moment, the quon-
dam landlord threw down his eyes, seemed
much ahashed, and hurried quickly by, with
out saying word.
Was murder really meditated in this case
and was the dream, which reused the intended
victim, veritabc premonition sent TO rescue
him from impending death These are ques-
tions which the writer will not undertake to
answer. He can youch, however. for the lit
eral truth of the facts herein related. They
were communicated to him by the Rev. r. VI.
Saunders, of Alabama, son of the gentleman
to whom the monitory dream was vouchsafed.

The Hermi. of the Mountains.

Wilburn Waters, the hermit of Pond Noun
tain in the White Top region Of Virginia, has
killed four bears within three weeks, one Of
them exceedingly large. The Abingdon Fir-
ginian says Of this singular man For more
than twenty years he has lived alone in the
solitude Of that vast mountain region, devo-
ting his time to hunting and stockraising
He claims, we believe, to be a half breed of
the Catawba tribe, and is man of great phys
ical power. He owns about 900 acres of
land, and sells large numbers of cattle and
hogs, and takes vast quantities of wild honey.
Although he lives entirely alone, the latch
string of his cabin is always out, and nothing
seems to be more grateful to his feelings than
the dispensation of his hospitalites. Since
his residence upon the Pond Mountain he has
captured sc bears, sc wolves, and upwards of
800 deer, and a countless number of wild tur-
kies and ssvarmints'' of the hills. He is over
46 years old, has lived about half that time at
his present locality, and has never been at Alb
ingdon but twice, though only 80 miles from it.

The Potato Disease.

According to correspondent of the Ma
tional hteiHgencer, the potatoe disease was
known in Ireland nearly one hundred and twen-
ty years ago, the first record of it being in
1889 and 1740. The principal cause of de-
struction, however, at that time, was severe
frost. So total was the failure of the crop,
that no less than SOC, 900 persons died in con-
sequence OF resulting famine. The next
memorable potatoe blight in Ireland was in
1I65, and there were partial failures in l11O,
1779 and 1884. That of 179o was not confined
to Ireland, but extended all over Europe, and
even TO America. In 1900 the potato partially
failed in Ireland, and the failure was charac
teriZed by the peculiar withering of the haulm
which has been so marked in the consequent
attacks of the disease. The years 1901, 1907 !,
1909, 1911, 1872 and 1916 were all bad years
for the potato crop in Ireland, and during the
last year QS16) as bad in England as in Ire
land. In Ireland almost every second succeed
ing year since 1916 has been a failure in the
potato crop. In 1910 the potato disease
prevailed to such an extent in Germany that
the total extinction of the esculent was threat
ened. The year 1S43 was a very bad year for
the potato in America, though not very unfa-
vorable in Ireland but it was the commence
ment of the great blight which prevailed for
the next five years. The year 1SiS the crop
almost entirely failed. and in 1S49 and in 1850
the potato failure was very extensive and in
tense. 1t seems to have reached its acme,
however, in 1913, and it has since then grad
ualIy declined. The severe frosts of 1855
seemed TO have beneficially changed the liza
bility of potatoes to disease, and the root has
again assumed healthy character and regain
ed its natural flavor.

Gently arrived at the capital with information
that the Indians around Spirit Lake are daily

BURNING SoDs FOR THEIR AsHEs.-At a NEE
ting of the Skeneateles Farmers club, Mr.. w
p. Giles gave the result of an experiment on
his farm, some years ago, in burning the turf
upon piece of swampy ground which had
been reclaimed by draining. The sod was cut
loose in the fall, and in the spring thrown
into heaps and burned by the aid of old rails
and stumps, and the ashes were then spread
as a top dressing upon the land Immediately
after blowing the result was an enormous
crop of corn, while the adjacent parts of the
same field We're ruined by the worms. The
ground continued to produce larger crops of
grain and grass than other parts of the field, to
this day. He also alluded to The practice of
the Hon. Mr.. Dickinson, of Steuben county,
of cutting up the sod along the side of the
highway, and throwing it in heaps and burning
it, to make manure, with beneficial results.
