INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES OF KIT CARSON.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
ctGt has had an interview with Kit Carson,
who communicated to him the following in
teresting "reminiscences,
"All the Indians. hunters and trappers
ride with short stirrups. am almost bow
legged from it. 1t Is more important to the
Indian than the white man, as it is only by
aid of the stirrup that he can shift his po-
sition, hanging down on one side, SO as to
conceal all his bod ySbut his leg His leg is
all you have to fire at, as he throws himself
on the side buttocks, or around the neck of
the horse. On this account, also, they hang
the stirrups well forward.
r ''Some one referred to Carson's intimate
knowledge of Indian strategy. "Why, yes,
am up to good many of their tricks, but
they fooled me once-they fooled me pretty
bad that time I'll tell you about it. 1t
was Inlet me see-yes, 1885. There were
six of US hunters out after buffalo, up in the
Snake country. We had made pretty
good hunt and came into camp at night,
intending to start in next morning with our
hunt. Well, we camped Had a good ma
ny dogs with us, some of them good dogs.
They had barked good DEAL and we heard
wolves. AS lay by the fire, saw one or
two big wolves sneaking about the camp
one of them quite in it. Gordon wanted to
fire, but would not let him, tor fear of hit
ting some of the dogs.
g | had just little suspicion that the
wolves might be Indians but when | saw
them turn short round, and heard the snap
of their, teeth when the dogs came too close
to one of EN-, felt easy then, and made
sure it was wolf The Indian fooled me
that time. Confound the rascaP'-becom-
ing animated-'C onfound the rascal, do you
think he didn't have two old buffalo bones
in his hand that he cracked together every

held 'em. If the Indians had been smart,
they'd had US all, but they run as soon
as they fired They killed but one of US

and eight in his Buffalo robe. The Indians
were bard of Sioux. on the war path after
the Snakes, and came on US by accident.

in 1929, the valleys were full of Indian
tribes. Indians were thick everywhere, and

inquired about certain tribes had seen on
the spot, was told by the people living there
that they had never heard of them. -

ORIGIN OF THE QUEBEC CONFEDERATION.
The fire originated from drunken de-
bauchery in a tavern, near daylight The
men were disputing over their ill gotten
gains at cards. FROM words they came to
blows, and the table being upset on which
was coal, oil lamp, in a moment the oil
became ignited and then the building in a
few minutes more. Alarm became general
in the vicinity, and in half an hour the fire
centre had word. In one hour the hose
was laid and water let on Ia ten minutes
after the first line was cut by some miscre-
ant, aud soon after similar thing happen-
ed to the second run. The fire now became
unmauageabe and the populace panic
stricken. Toronto Globe ll.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICUL-
ruRE.-Hon. Isaac Newton, Commissioners
of Agriculture, has prepared his report for
the month of October from which the fol-
lowing interesting extracts are taken.
The returns of local correspondents up to
the first day of October verify, in all essen
tial particulars, the statesmen respecting
the crops contained in previous monthly ex-
hibits. The condition of corn has suffered
some deterioration from early frosts and ex-
cessive raips but the quantity of the crop is
larger than the largest ever previously
chronlcled in the country. In the produc-
tlon OF wheat, next to corn our most impor-
tant cereal, our agriculture has been unfor-
tunate for the past three seasons The
crops Of 1862 and 1868 in the North were
good and exhibited gratifying increase as
compared with the crop of 1859 The year
1854 witnessed slightly diminished pro-
duct, followed by further diminution in
1865, in quantity as well as in quality
The estimate tor the present year, now near
| ly complete; will not vary much from 49,
100000 bushels, showing a small percent
age Of decrease, which is fully compensated
by the comparatively superior quality Of the
grain. This is ten millions of bushels more
than the crop of 1869, and is With n five
millions of a product in proportion to the
increased population. The diminutiou in
the South is more apparent The estimates
point to less than seventeen millions of bush
els in the eleven States hitherto unreported,
a fraction less than fve-tenths of the crop of
1859. 1t is worthy of remark, in connec-
ton with the diminution of the past three
seasons that the wheat crop of England has
been likewise deficient since 1864 The
California wheat harvest, of which little
mention has been publicly made in counec-
ton with the present crop, is excessive. IN
1860 the product OF this young State was
nearly six millions of bushels. Now, it is
seriously claimed by leading California ag-
rlculturists, that the surplus for export viii
be nearly double that quantity 1t is evil
dent that the entire wheat crop will exceed
by several millions that of 1859, when the
yield was reported at 173, 104, 924 bushels
Then there were five and half bushels t.
each individual; in 1866 the estimates point
to i've bushels to each inhabitant There i.

How TO CIorHE THE LITTLE ONES
A sensible English mother, writing to Lon
don paper in regard to children's dress, makes
the following statements respecting her meth
cd OF clothing her little ones. Many Ameri-
can mothers might take hint therefromsuf
NV little girl wears flannel frocks make high
to her neck, with full body back and front,
bishop sleeves, and sash of the same as the
frock with long ends. You may trim the lit
tie froek as you like. I usually put white and
black washing braid on, as then 1t has not to
be taken off each time the ffock Is washed
A scarlet or violet fannehmade In this way Is
very pretty, finished OF with narrow white
ffili around the neck. My little boy of three
is dressed exactly the same. think English
mothers are so foolish to keep their poor little
children in short sleeves and low-necked frocks
all the winter. Children feel TIE cold as much
as we do, and you can see by their blue, con-
gested, arms and cheeks how unhealthy It Is.
l have lived a great deal abroad, and there
you alway see quite little. tiny things with
high-necked frocks in the winter. 1t saves
countless colds and coughs. besides looking 80
much nicer, IN my opinion. t a1ln-J

A Cause for an infect.

Agood many people have wondered at the
recent temper and moderation of Congress, par
tcularly after the proyocations to violent talk
that have been given,l and praise Congress for
its self-control. We do not mean to depreciate
its merits in that respect; but there Is. . cause
for the effect, for which the body Is entitled to
no particular approval Nobody anlaugh and
be angry at the same time, and while Rogers Of
New jersey, occupies a seat Congress must
laugh. He will speak, and when he speaks his
auditors cannot faal TO be ina merry mood. ~
Rogers is O conservative, one of that sort de-
fined by the witty Frenchman, who said that
your real conservative was q man who, If he
had lived at the first day of creation, would
have found fault with the Creator for disturb
ing the chaos Rogers regrets that the Great
Amendment was passed 1t disturbs the natur-
al relations of the white and black races. Rog-
ers believes in human rights-particulariy In
thinks every slave liberated ought to be paid
for, because the owner was asdeprived OF his prop
erty; but Rogers will not pay for the property
which the slave had in himself and his labor,
I iand ofwhich he was deprived during three gem
erStions. Rogers believes that an unpardoned
rebel and pubic enemy has as much claim to
legislate over US as anybody else; and little
more so. ~ ~ 5eaf ts.,,.-'. -. s'.,' >,
s1ll Rogers ventilates ali these, and other opin
ions, nearly every day. Congress must explode
in laughter; Congress remains undignified per-
haps, but good-natured. In short, Rogers
serves the useful purpose of the gentlemen
dressed in motley, whom the English kings
used to keep to dissipate the in-humors of their
courts.-lfost. a9y De r. - s5ll5} gI,i.sss.r

Mr.. Gregory, a member ofthe British Parlia-

proof that civil liberty no longer existed in that
