MERITED REBUKE
OF THE RASH AND sANGUINARY PHI.
SHERIDAN.

One of the objections made to Sheridan
as warrior is, that he kills the Indian
father at time when his family needs
him as provider of food, and the limo.
cent squaws and children suffer from
this cruelty. Wealways did think Sher-
idan killed the enemy too much. Why
can't you just shoot them little, Phil,
SO as not to hurt them much Why do
! you want to go around making grave
j yard of everybody that murders American
eli ,izens? Don't you know any way to
carry on war without killing people in
this way? Suppose the poor Piegans
have taken a scalp or two, and dug the
bowels out of q few live babies, and sub
iected the women to the embraces of half
a tribe of the most helish ruffians that
ever wore the human form, what has that
to do with it? You ought not to blame
the poor fellows. Indians always do that
4 way. You should send missionaries to
! them Send them Peace Commissioner
send them the Cincinnati GGsette-send
them bald-headed Quaker, that can't be
4 scalped--send them confound it--send
them Mungen and his fiddle. We can
spare him. 1t would do him good to 60
1t would dc us good to have him go. The
Indians would be glad to see him. Let
him take Mrs. Cobb along. Let him take
the whole female lobby from Washing
ton If they can't bring the Piegan to
repentance and to thinking of his latter
end, nobody can. bf#oa 9taaW
! And don't be so rash with your shoot
| ing any more. Don't you remember how
you used Rosser in the Valley? He only
wanted to come along down in the rear.
He wasn't hurting you any. Yet what
did you do with that young. young man?
You went out with Custer and shot at
him, and charged into him with your in
fernal cavalry, and made him gitup and
git till his artillery wagons went SO fast
only one wheel touched the ground, and
his horses were nearly tired to death.
That's no way to treat o man. You should
be polite and friendly to these Indians.

| AN EXTRAORDINARY CoW.-A San An
tonic, Texas, paper contains the follow
ing description of COW which took the
premium at a local agricultural fair.
| The paper neglects to state whether she
is of the long horned Spanish breed com
mon TO Texas, or of English origin, but
the former presumption is the most prob
able. This COW is of the herd of Mr..
Jackson, of this country, belongs to Jack
4 Cooke, ESQ, and was entered by jackson
g. Cooke, taking the first premium at the
fair for the superior milking qualities.
The account given of her was that, in the
past thirty days she had given 525 quarts
Of milk equal to 1871 a gallons, or 1850
pounds, the COW weighing 600 pounds.
The milk Of thirty days, then, weighed
45O pounds more than the cow from
which it was taken The milk at ~
cents per quart, came to $50 371a cents.
The cost of keeping, milking, &c, was
put down at $3.50 during that time, leav-
ing net profit of 31.S71l for thirty days.
On the fair grounds thirteen quarts of
milk were taken from this COW at one
milking. II .....e
| DISCUSSION ABOUT FLYIEe.--At the re-
cent annual meeting of the Aeronautical
Society, of London, various novel propo-
sitions were advanced relative to aerial
navigation. One member thought that
man should be taught to fly, as youth
were taught to swim in Germany, by be-
ing suspended by a rope, when he could
with safety make experiments with an
artificial flying apparatus. Another mem
Der described his experiments with an
aerial velocipede, with propellers at the
corners of the plane. Mr.. Glaisher the
chairman, said that if ever they obtained
perfect aerostation, it must be by means
| of an initial velocity acting on an inclln-
ed aero plane Mr.. Derrick observed
that the inventors of the sewing machine
had not succeeded by endeayoring to I'M
| itate, the old sewing process. They
started on an entirely new principle, and
aeronauts, if they wished to succeed, must
do the same. They must not follow or
study the flight of birds, but invent an
entirely new plan. What they wanted
was patient and costly experiment,
and aerostation could therefore only be
studied successfully by wealthy societies.
A Result OF THE WAR.-The follow
ing waif, which we clip from a southern
paper. will interest our readers: One of
the most singular sights growing out OF
| the war, is continuous line of peach
trees, of nearly fifty miles in length,
around Petersburg and extending toward
Richmond. They are growing from the
breastworks thrown up by the Confeder-
ate army, and are the only legacy left by
the poor fellows who were onthe advance
line, within 100 yards of the Federal
force. Having eaten of the. fruit while
/ ON nickel duty they cast the seed aside, |
