Head Quarters of the Army of the u S.,
Washington, d. c., May 10th. Edward
Cromw ell, Secretary, 1913 Broad ST., New
York.
DEAR SIR: | have your note of May Is,
and regret that l cannot attend the meeting
of the Indian Peace Commission, at n. Y.
doubt not the generous feelings of the good
people entrusted in this meeting, but it does
seem to me that they accomplish little or no
good. The Indian question is a practical
one and not of mere feeling. SO far as my
observation extends, the wild Indian is rather
damaged than benefited by the conflict OF
extreme opinions, which these public meet
ings engender. The real question can only
be discussed fairly where the Indians are,
and if you will adjourn your meeting to Fort
Suly, Fort Rice, or Fetterman, where you
can see the Indians themselves, l will fell
strongly inclined to attend youy adjourned
meeting with sentiments of the utmost re-
spect.
am, truly yours,
w. II. SHERMAN.

VOLUME XVII-.-N0. s.

The GRAVE OF OsCEoLA.-In the
last number of Leslie's Illustrated
News, appears a sketch of the
grave of Osceola, the Indian chief,
near the walls of Fort Moultrie.-
Accompanying the sketch is an
account of Osceola's life and death,
from which we gather that he was
thirty-six years of age at the time
of his death, and during his life
had slain a large number of white
persons in the gladcs of Florida.
His father was an Englishman
named Power, and his mother the
daughter of Cherokee chieftain.
While on visit to an American
fort, she was seized and sold as a
slave. This aroused the anger of
Osceola, and from that time to his
capture, he waged a bitter war
against the whites. On the Odd
of October, 1887, while holding a
conference with General Jessup,
near st. Augustine, he was seized,
with a number Of his followers,
and taken to Fort Moultrie, where
he was closely confined until his
death: Osceola died as he had
lived, a hater Of the race from
which his father had sprung. He
lay on the couch in the cell assign
ed, and with frown as dark as d
cloud on his not unhandsomc face,
he folded bis arms across his am
pie chest, and thus his spirit pass
ed quietly away to the happy hunt
ing grounds of the Seminoles,
where his braves were impatiently
awaiting his presence.

The Lad Who Had a Purpose in
...-. Life, -

Every day furnishes some new
instance of the wonderful things
which have resulted from earnest
application to one thing at time
by boys. The "Life and Letters
of -Farraday" have lately been
published, and no one who reads
the book leaves off without feeling
what good thing it is when a lad
has a purpose before him and a
settled love for one special thing.
Farraday began life as an arrand-
boy at booksellers shop in Lon
don. and had to take out the news
papers to customers. In his spare
time, instead of playing at eggs
ina bush by himself, he would take
down a book and read. When
an apprentice" he says, "I loved
to read the scientific books which
were under my hands, and amongst
them Marcet's Conversation in
Chemistry and the electrical trea.
ties in the Encyclopaedia Britain.
nica.' l made such simple expe.
riments in chemistry as could be
betrayed in their expense for few
pence per week, and also construct
ed an electrical machine, first with
a glass phial, and afterwards with
a real cylinder, as we'll as other
electrical apparatus of a CORES
ponding kind" He told a friend
that Watts Con the Mind" first
made him think, and that his at.
tention was turned to science by
the article " Electricity" in an EN-.
cyclop@dia he was employed to
bind. And so, by steady industry
and the right use of his wits, the
newspaper boy rose higher, until
he received, "unsought, almost
every honor which every republic
of science throughout the world
could give" Make a note of this
boys, and think whether you arc
going the right way to work in
your life-mission.

a Sabbath in the Country.

No sound of crashing wheel was heard.
The morning sun crept up the hills,
The twitter of the summers bird,
And gurgling laughter Of the. riIls,
And whispered welcome Of tho troes,
And harp-notes Of the gentle breeze.
The air was full Of Sabbath song,
And Sabbath beauty robcd the oarth;
There was no Haunting, Hne dressed throng
No marring and unseemly mirth; ...
But golden sunlight In the dclls,
And music Of inviting bells. ..n .
The house Of God Was eyerywhero;
We stood in courts whore He had boon,
We walked across His meadows fair,
And down His aisles of evergreen,
And strayed beside His river brim,
Whore all our hearts went out TO Him.
We fingered where tho little bands
Knelt down together in His light,
With sun>burnt faces, toll stained hands,
And simple voice that loved tho right:
And While We brcathed His holy namc,
Into our midst the Master came.
Wo looked upon the preachers face, -.
But back to us looked other eyes, .,
We heard the spoken words Of grace.
But twas another mado us wise;
For God took all eur thoughts away,
And kept them to himself that day.
D grand cloud-mountains, snowy white !
o wilderness Of tree and fernI
That through the windows met our sight,
And made our peacc.flled spirits burn |!
Into our hearts your joy we take, -
And love you for our Fathers sake.

SUBSTITUTE FOR MANURE.-The
following recipe for raising pota.
toes is worth the price of any pa.
per for one year to o farmer who
is short of manure. 1t is as good
as the superpbste of lime, and will
not cost half as much. It has
been tried two years, and is good
on dry land: r#a .... -
Take one cask of lime and slake
it with water, and then stir in one
bushei fine salt, and then mix in
loam or ashes enough that it will
not become mortar it will make
about five barrels. Put half q
pint in a hill at planting. All ma.
nures containing potash are par
ticularly suitable for the potatoe.
Ashes contain more than any 9th.
er natural fertilizer, and should be
freely used and carefully saved
Any farmer seeing the analysis Of
the ashes Of potatoes can readily
imagine what fertilizers produce
the greatest effect, and what the
plant most needs. -. $50,
