An Indians View of Agriculture.

We doubt if better argument for
improved agriculture can be given
than is found in the speech of an lndi-
an Chief to his tribe in the far West.
1t ran thus:
Do you not see the whites living
upon seeds, while we eat flesh T? That
the flesh requires more than thirty
moons to grow up, and is then often
scarce? That each of the wonderful
seeds they sow in the earth returns
them an hundred fold? That the flesh
on which we subsist has four legs to
escape, while we have but two to pur-
sue and capture it !? That the grain re-
mains where the white man puts 1t,
and grows That winter with us is
the time for laborious hunting-to
them a period of rest? For these rea-
sons they have SO many children and
live SO much longer than we do. !
say, therefore unto every one that will
hear me, that, before the oedars Of our

WOOL.

The history of the growth of wool
is very curious. Fifty years ago not
a pound of fine wool was raised in the
United States, in Great Britain, or any
other country except Spain. In the
latter country, the hocks were owned
exclusively by the nobility or by the
crown. In I794, small flock was
sent to the Elector Of Saxony as a
present from the King of Spain,
whence the entire product of Saxon
wool, now of such immense value. In
1900, during the second invasion of
Spain by the French, some of the valu-
able crown flocks were sold to raise
money. The American Consul at Lis
bon, Mr.. Jarvis, of Vermont, purchased
l 400 head, and sent them to this coun-
try. A portion Of the pure unmixcd
Merino blood of these hocks is to be
found in Vermont at this time. Such
was the origin of the immense flocks
of fine wooled sheep in the United
States.

POOR OLD BUCK.

Old Buchanan is reported to be ter
ribly excited about the discovery Of
his correspondence with JEFF. Davis.
The old villain need not alarm himself.
There is not any possibility of his find
ing deeper perdition than that which
he is now suffering. Every body is
satisfied of his completely with the
traitors from the beginning. The posi-
tive proof might show how, and how
deeply, he trod the path Of treason
and what reward he expected from the
eonspirators. But it would not hight
en- his infamy in the minds of any
observer Of past and current events.
So he need not alarm himself. No at
tempt will probably be made to pun
ish him, though the proof should be as
distinct as the sun at noon day. He
will be permitted to live out his allot-
ted span, an object of contempt and
loathing among men, his mere exist
ence being the severest punishment
that can be inflicted. HaElew.

LIFE AT SARATOGA.

Burleigh," the clerical correspond
ent of the Boston Journal, writes to
that paper, under date Of August lst :
1t wants ten full days of "High
Saratoga" but not within the memory
of man has the place been SO crowded
as at this hour. All the leading hotels
are full, and lodging out" has begun.
There are some noticeable peculiarities
this year. The almost total absence
of officers of the army is one. Indeed,
shoulder straps and uniforms do not
appear But few young men are here.
The damsels are plenty, and never
seemed more fascinating. The dress
is toned down greatly the present year.
But few gorgeous ladies appear and
in cases where display could be well
afforded the dress is modest and sub.
dued,
So many vulgar people, owing to
sudden wealth, demand the most costly
dresses and expensive jewelry, thai
the ton seem to have come to the deter
mination, so mysteriously formed, tc
be remarked and distinguished by tho
plainness Of the attire. But few jew
els are worn, and when a party appear
with profusion Of diamonds, they are
at once voted snobs.

The Columbus correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial gives the fol-
lowing history of the incarceration Of
the great guerilla Morgan and his Off
GERS in the Ohio Penitentiary:
"They were delivered over to Cap
tain Merton by the military authori-
ties, and Immediately put through the
same motions as other criminals-per-
sons searched, hair and beard shaved,
bathed and clad in clean suits. Nor
gan and Duke submitted very quietly,
but some of the younger thieves de-
INJURED bitterly, until told they must
submit. Morgan had his belt filled
with gold, greenbacks and Conteder-
ate notes. One who had before bro
ken his parole refused to strip, when
it was instantly done for him. Duke
begged for his mustache, but it was
no go-it was razored. They will be
compelled to submit to prison disci-
pline, but confined apart from the con-
victs. and guarded day and night by
the military. One or two talked
about retaliation, but the rule against
speaking was instantly enforced. A
negro convict did the barbcring for
the chivalry."
Col. Basil Duke is small man not
over thirty years old, spare of flesh, fea-
lures angular, hair and eyes nearly if
not quite black, the latter sparkling
and penetrating, and the former stand
ing out from the head like porcupine
quills. Altogether, he called to mind
our pictures Of a Spanish bandit on a
small scale ; nevertheless, he has a
pleasant voice and gracious smile in
his conversation, which is free and
cordial. But there is nothing COM
manding in his appearance, his man.
ner or his words, and it is not strange
that Morgan is the acknowledged lead
er of the horde, even though Duke
may be the most quick-witted.
Dick Morgan is about thirty-two
years old, heavy set, inclined to be
fleshy round, plump face, blush eyes,
phlegmatic temperament, and not talka-
tive. He yields to Duke the privilege
of carrying on conversation.
Not one of the seventy officers be-
fore us had any indication of their rank
in or on their dress. They were all
more or less in citizens dress; some
of them having blue, and some of them
gray pantaloons some of them wore
military blouses, but the most of them
had on citizens vests and coats.

For the Charles City InteIligencer


FOR THE PATRIOTIC LADIES or FLOYD COUNTY
Heavily falls the rain.
Wild are the breeZes tonight,
Yet meath the roof the hours as they fly
Are happy and calm and bright.
Gathering round the fre-side,
Though it be summer time,
We sit and talk Of brothers abroad,
Forgetting the midnight chime.
CHORUS.
Brave boys are they.
Gone at their country's call,
And yet. and yet, we cannot forget
That many brave boys must fall.
Under the homestead roof,
Nestled so cczy and warm.
While brothers sleep with little or naught
To shelter them from the storm;
Resting on grassy couches,
Pillowed on hillocks damp.
Of martial fare how little we know,
Till brothers are in the camp!
Thinking no less of them,
Loving our country the more.
We sent them forth to fight for the flag
Their fathers before them bore.
Though the great tear drops started,
This was our parting trust
u picss you, boys, we III welcome you home
When rebels are in the dust
May the bright wings of love
Guard them wherever they roam:
The time has come when brothers must fight
And sisters must pray at home.
Oh the dread field of battle,
Soon to be covered with graves
Ii brothers fall. then bury them where
Our banner in triumph waves.
