FLOUR OF BONE"


WE will give a MONEY guarantee of the
purity of this article. 1t is pure, unstean,ed,
unburnt bone, reduced to the .f,aeness Of flour,
which adds 100 per ct. to its value 1t is as
quick and actire as acid diSSolued bone hence its
value is vastly greater, because it contains nei-
ther acid nor water, which necessarily add
weight, and reduce the quality of valuable ell
ements. We recommend $50 lbs. to be used in
place of 300 lbs. Super Phosphate or dissolved

OBITUARY.
John Ross.


John Ross or Kooweskoowe, Chief of the
Cherokee Indians, died in Washington yester-
day. He was halt-breed, and at an early age
acquired good English education. In 1917 and
1Sl9 the time the State of Georgia attempted 10
induce the Indians to remove west OF the mlssls-
sippi liberal briDe was offered for this purpose
to Ross by Mcintosh, q Creek hafbreed Indian,
but 1t was refused. The proceedings Oh tne
Georgia Legislature with reference to the Cnero-
KEGS, in 1929, led to an appeal on the part OF tne
Indians, Ross acting as their agent, 70 Ihe ou-
preme Court of the United States, Whlch re-
suited in decision in their favor. georgia, now
ever, refused to obey, and aggresslons upon the
Indians increased. In 1885 treaty was concluded
United States. and Major Ridge, his son John
Ridge, Elias Boudnot, and about six hundred
other Cherokee Indians, including men, women,
aud children, by which the Indians agreed TO sur
render their lands and remove West within two
years. Against this treaty known as the New
Echota Ross and over five thousand of his tribe
protested, in an appeal written by Ross, and
addressed to the President OF the United States,
as having been iraudulently obtained. The
Government, however, sent force under Gene
raj Scott TO compel the fuiflment of the treaty,
The Cherokees yielded, and, with Ross at their
head, removed to their new home. Moderate
allowance was made them for their losses by
the Government, and after years of suffering
they became prosperous nation. Ross con-
tinued TO be the Chief of the Cherokees for
several years. In 1861, after some hesitation,
he entered into a treaty with the Confederate
authorities. but it has been stated that he was at
heart loyal to the Government, and his business
in Washington was for the purpose of pressing
CLAIMS against the Government Tor losses during
the war.

The Island of Valentia.

The island of Valenta, the Irish terminus OF
the Atlantic cable. is about six thousand acres
in extent. 1t has three proprietors, OF whom
the Knight OF Kerry is the chief, the others
being Trinity College, Dublin, and Colonel Her
bert of Muckross. The population is about two
thousand: but, although the Kn ght IS a staunch
Protestant, his co-religlonsts do not number
more than one hundred and fifty. The harmony
of this little community (says a correspondent
Of the London starr is, however, undisturbed
by religious discord. The old priest, who is
now between eighty and ninety years OF age,
has had charge of the parish for half a century,
and his watchword has always been "Peace."
The average value OF land is about fifteen
shillings an acre. Much more of it is used for
grazing purposes than for cultivation, the prln-
cipal article manufactured being butter. Most
OF the cottages are simply toetid novels; but
there is considerable number OF a better class,
and the peasaEtry have a well-fed, comfortable
appearance. They owe much 10 the Knight,
who spends nearly the whole of the income he
derives trom this property in improvements and
10 giving employment TO the people. He Is
regarded with feudal reverence tempered by
modern manners. His traditional title gives him
no precedence at court, but his ancient lineage
really places him lar before the mushroom
creation OF yesterday. The late Knight, who was q
pTOteQe OF Lord Castlereagh, and a distinguished
politician, being once addressed as 'my lordn
by an officious servitor, impatiently replied:-
Don't call me lord; don't wish to be anything
OF the kind" Perhaps he remembered the Arab
proverb, "The dog when he has money must be
called, My lord, the dog.n 1t is pleasant to be
able TO reconcile these relics of feudalism with
the humanizlng claims of modern civilization,
IL is pleasant also TO lind that the RdccOOn mas
single Fenian; and that although Yesterday
saw the Fenian flag-the harp and the sun on q
ground OF green hOisted on a skitf, this was
done more in bravado than in earnest and
OF disoy atty is altogether exceptional in Valentii
and the adjacent mainland.

GENERAL R. Il. LEES FATHER.-We find in
many OF our exchanges a statement that "the
remains of Richard Henry Lee, the father of
General Robert E. Lee, are to be removed from
Georgia and inferred at Lexington, on the 10th
of September next" The father of Robert T..
Lee was not Richard Henry Lee but Henry,
Legion Harry, the "Light Horse Harry" of the
Revolution, one of the most romantcally brave
and chivalrous soldiers OF modern times. Richard
Henry Lee was the first cousin OF Legion Harry's
father. He died and was buried among the

that county, named Mount Pleasant while Harry
