INDIAN FoRTITuDE.-The Milwau-
kee Wisconsin reports a striking in
cident of Indian fortitude, related by
Mr. f. A. Moore, as follows:
A few days since Wau- wink
a. Pretty Bird dau shter of Dandy,
head chef of the Winnebago nation,
was at the depot at La Crosse, ac-
companied by her two fatherless chill
dren. While waiting the arrival of
the train, one of the children got up
on the track of the incoming train,
as the train was nearing the depot
Seeing its danger, the mother, re-
CARELESS of her own life, sprang for
ward and snatched the child from the
very jaws of death. She threw the
little one upon the platform, but it
was too late to save herself. The
rushing locomotive caught her blan-
ct and threw her upon the track. The
wheels caught her foot. ran over it,
crushing the bone to atoms, tearing
off the flesh and making a frighttul
wound. The bone up to the knee
was splintered.
Such an injury could not but be ex-
cruciatingly painful, yet the Indian
mother with wonderful nerve drew
her knife from her belt and cutting
off the loosely hanging flesh, wash>
ed the limb and bound it up with
her own hands, refusingall assistance,
not a feature of her face showing the
intense agony she must have suffer-
ed. She refused to have her limb
amputated, preferring to die rather
than live cripple, and after few
days of intense suffering she departed
to the spirit land.

Costar Nowhere.

We find the following item in the
virginia Nevada) Tresspass, July Is:
"A miner, stopping at one Of the
boarding aud lodging houses between
Taylor street and the Divide. was
troubled a good deal by bed bugs
and resolved 10 start the landIadv AZ.
ter them. She contended that there
were no bugs in the house-she had
never seen one in her room. nor felt
ope but that did not satisfy our
ledger, as he did not occupy the same
room and was positive there was at
least quart of bugs in close prox-
unity to his bed. He procured a
small bottle, and began to catch and
bottle bed bugs. He persevered un.
I'll he had caught and corked up sew
eral dozen of the pestiferons insects
and, after keeping the poor little
birds" cooped up until they were
nearly starved, slipped into the land
lady's room one evening and depos-
tied the contents of the bottle under
the old woman's pillow 1t is unnec-
essary to say that she made it ''migh
ty hot" for bed ,bugs about that
house the next day The miner says
he never saw such relentless war wa
ged against bed-bugs before"

Tie Wool Interest.

The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted at the Woods
Growers and Manufactures Exposit~
ion at Chicago:
RESOLVED, That wool growing is an
important and should remain an es>
sential festure of Western agricul>
ture That the present depression
of this interest is owing to causes
temporary in their nature and fur
nishes no good reason for the sacri~
fee Of their focks and the abandon~
ment of their business by those who
have been for years proftably ongag-
ed therein.
Resolued, That the interest of wool>
growers and of wool manufacturers
are so identified that the prosperity
of each is essential to the permanent
prosperity of either.
Resolved, That as Western wolien
manufactures furnish home mars
ket for Western woods, saving TO the
producer the cost of transportation
and handling; as they increase the
home demand for other products of
the farm, and as they furnish bare
supply of products needed in every
family, they should be encouraged,
in practical ways by every farmer and
wool grower.
ReSoiUed, That the interests of both
growers and manufacturers would be
subserved by the production Of Il
greater variety of wool and wool
products, in order that every demand
may be supplied, and the market for
no class be overstocked.
ReSolred, That every effort should
be made to improve the quality and
condition of Western wool that
growers should produce such wool a,
are most needed by the manufacture
ers, and in all cases should put up
their wool in the best condition pos
sible.
Reeoiued, That all wool should be
bought strictly on its merits. the
buyer discriminating in favor of wool
in good condition and well put up for
market, and making such deduction
in price on wool understandable
from any cause as the condition of
each lot requires. and that this may
be done, all wool should be bought
by men thoroughly competent to
judge as to its quality and its condi-
ton.
Resolved, That in joint convention
of wool>manufacturers and wooI>
growers, and in joint exposition OF
their products, we recognize impor-
tant means Of developing and har-
monizing the great industries in
which these two classes are engaged.
ReSolued, That while the encour,
agement OF Western wcol-manufac :
ing and Western wool growing is
most obviously the duty Of Western
men. there need be and is no ground
for any except the kindest feelings
between the wool-growers and man
ufacturers of the West and their fell
low laborers of the East, and the only
contest that should ever exist between
them is q generous rivalry as to who
shall excel.

Large horses are generally most

Prosperity is generally based up,

Farmers are like fowls, neither will

THE HERALD.
The New Cattle Disease.

A great deal of excitment has been
caused in some parts OF Illinois and
Indiana, by disease which has at
tackled cattle in localities where Tex,
as cattle have been herded or pastur-
&c and destroyed large numbers OF
native stock. The regions which
seem to have suffered most severely
from the epi;. mic are those around
Cairo, where il j. reported hardly n
mich COW is left. Il has also made
its appearance and done much miss
chief, in other parts of said states. 1t
is called "Acute Lungensuche," it is
thus described:
"This disease appears rather sud :
denly. The animal, heretofore live
ly, grows remarkably weak End sui
len the walk is heavy and stagger-
ing, the hair bristly and without
gloss, the ears are hanging down
ward, and the head also. The mus
cells of the throat often show a con
vulsive trembling movement, the aair
at the Same time rising in different
places, The cutaneous CONFUSION
sometimes develops into a general
shudder and fatal commissions The
ears and horns change from warm to
cold, the inside of the mouth being
always very hot. The eyes are red
dened, in tears slime flows from
mouth to nose the respiration be-
comes difficult, and from time TO
time short, weak cough can be obs
served. The fever now appears and
rumination ceases. In the beginning
there is u violent thirst and no appe-
tite for food. The excrements OF the
animal are bard and gangrenus and
during the second day diarrhea in.
tervenes, the matter in the beginning
consisting of bad smelling, dark or
black brown fluid, or a white bilious
slime. After longer duration OF
the diarrhea the rectum and vagina
staud open, the milk ceases, and the
udder shrinks together, the animal
gnashing its teeth. Daring the pro-
gress Of the disease the animal is un-
able to stand, and al last even una>
bic to rise; death generally taking
place on the third or seventh day OF
attack. The owner should resort to
the proper remedies even if the ami
NAL seems to be healthy, for if this
disease makes its appearance in a
place it generally spreads among all
the cattle"
The disease seems not TO be con-
tagious but infectious, as the native
stock do not seem to have the power
of imparting it to their kind, and
calves may safely suck the cow after
infected, and the Texas cattle, which
are supposed to communicate this
disease appear to De healthy. The
matter is attracting much attention
among scientific men and agricultur,
lists, and it is proposed to prohibit
the shipment Of Texan cattle entire
~, and to keep those now at the
north isolated until after frost comes
by which the spread of the disease
is prevented.

med up, these reports seem to be that
in Wisconsin wheat is a larger WELD
than last year, but the quality not so
good on account of shrinKage; oats,
barley and rye an average crop, the
former rather more and OF extra quail

is turning out at least fourth more
than last year, and some places one
half more. Other crops are good.
