Emigrant Company and the Michigander
afterwards settled matters SO as to har-
monize their interests. These parties are
now striving to drive out the settlers or
to compel them to pay an exoTbitant price
for the lands. Itisalleged that a military
force is located in the midst Of the settlers
to oppress and discourage them. To those
settlers who are willing to purchase their
lands no deeds will be given, but trust
Of seven years is allowed, when the deeds
are TO be given by the Gulf Railroad Com
pany. It is said that the lands have al
ready been mortgaged to Boston capital
lists. The object of the investigation is to
unearth this additional specimen Of tho
fearful swindles perpetrated through the
medium OF the public lands. The settlers
feel confident, If the matter is brought be-
fore Congress, that that body will author
ize them to purchase the lands at Govern
ment rates, according to the treaty be-
tween the Indians and the United States.
In regard TO these lands, in the hrst in
stance, the patents were issued to the In
dians with reversion to the United States
in event of surrender of the lands. The
settlers claim that the pre-emption laws
are not only dis-egaTded, but that by the
treaty of 1866 the land became public do
main, and they had a right to purchase it
as such, as they were prior occupants.
The land sharks will, of course, fight
every effort to investigate, but it is under
stood Mr.. Julian, Chairman Of the House
Committee on Public Lands, viii take the
matter up. Mr.. Julian is a terror among
the swindlers, and if he sets to work the
fur may be expected tc fly.

rissey. 1t is amusing for your experience
ed traveller to watch the tricks and schemes
of these miserable wrotches. One of these
is short, rather fat, dressed in black broad
cloth. and carries under his plug hat a cum
ming greasy, smooth-shaven face, which
has small, ferret-liko eyes in 1t, and red
snub nose, like carbunco imposed upon
it. This man is called the Judge" and is,
I believe, the leader Of the gang, although
another fellow in common clothes, with
wolfsh, cowardly countonance, gives the
cue to all their doings. The third THIEF OF
the party is small in stature, with black
moustache, and an assumed woebegone
look. It is he who in their makc-beliove
games, bets wildly and largely, who most
always loses, gets angry, and appeals to the
lookors-cn. The fourth of the squad looks
like an honest tradesman, who ought to be
in better business than betting.
Ono day these gentlemen were playlngat

nefarious purposes. The "Carpenter'-w

them best.had dealt "Ferret- eyes" hand
of three kings and seven and eight of
aces and nno and ten of hearts. With
these hands "Ferret-eyes" and "Wolf-
mouth" began to bet and brag in the most
excited manner, talking to each other, APP
pealing to the crowd and getting up an en-
thusiasm pretty much as the clown and
ring master do in the circus, shouting and
running in order to make the audience be-
lieve that the horse which the "equine
queen" is riding is going feariully fast,
when It Is all a sham, gotten up for effect.
Such was the excitement about our steam
boat gaming-tablc.
al see your twenty dollars and go fifty
better" shouts "Ferret-eyes.''
az see your fifty and go ten better"
screamed "Wolf-mouth."
~ see that and make it one hnndred,"
cries "Ferret-eyes.'
At this point there was dead pause and
silence, broken in an instant by "Wolf-
mouth" who turned beseechngly to the
by-stahders with the remark
"Gentema an, Tn blowed if amt strap
ped"
Meanwhile moving around the table there
was peak ed sandy haired man, who has
Memphis. This fellow had seen both
hands, and knew that "Wolf-mouth' had
the strong cards. Just at this moment he
caught the gamblers eye, who continued:
"Ef had mule, wouldn't 1 sling him,
ears and all atop o. that pie?"
"You kin bet one of my mules was the
answer of "Sandy-hair.'
"Wil you take the mule?" cries Wolf
m outh" to Ferret-eyes."
EYES," answered the other, asking the
Carpenter" as he had a right to do by the
laws of the game, for two cards in place of
his seven and eight Of clubs. That oblig-
ing gentleman at once complied, giving
him the fourth king and an ace. "Wolf-
mouth" did not ask for more. They show
ed their hands. "Ferret-eyes' swept in
t he pool, and "Sandyhair," to his dismay,
had lost his mule.-GEoRGE WARD MICH

Books, Magazines, Etc.

We have received from tho publishers,
Lee and Shepard, Boston, the Springdale
stories, six neat volumes, handsomely IL
Illustrated, written by Mrs S. c. b. Samu-
els. The volumes have an attractive out
ward appearance, and they seem to be
written in a style and spirit that will or
rest and secure the attention Of young
readers, for whom they are designed, aud
leave on their minds cd and enduring
impressions. Throughout the series the
endoavor of the writer is to show tho i'm
portanco of trying to attain high moral
standard, and to impress The minds Of her
readers with the fact that little deeds and
words of kindness go far towards making
up the sum Of human happiness; to show
also that honesty and integrity of charac-
ter are recognized, and have great weight
and influence; and that injustice, mean
ness, cowardce, wrong doing in any form
is surely punished. We think the writer
has been quite successful in hcr cndcavors
both TO entertain and to instruct her read
ers.
The same firm have also favored us with
small volume entitled "Littlc Folks
Astray," being one of Little Prudy's Fly
away Series, by Sophia May, handsomely
illustrated.
We are also indie bted to the same pub
fishers for a volume of poems. by various
authors, entitled "Light at EvcniItc !" a
compilation of choice rcligious ~ and
poems, by the editor of "Chimes ~ Child
hood, ECHOES from Home" &c. This Sc
lection is made with good taste and judg-
ment, and is of great value. All the above

WASHINGTON COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
FAIR.-PREsIDENT ANGELLs ADDRESS,
One of the most interesting features of this
fair was the address by President Angel
of the University of Vermont, which was
delivered entirely without notes to de-
lighted and attentive audience-the largest
that we remember seeing giving silent at
ention TO n speaker at an agricultural fair
The speaker urged at length, with great
force, the importance of education to the
farmers. He remarked at the commence
ment of his address that the best crop
which farmers raise is, with one exception,
the crop of boys. To make these boys good
farmers, or better, good, strong and cult
waited men, should be one of the farmers
chief objects in life. To make good far
mers and Strong men, these boys should
be educated. He heard it said at times that
education tends to make boys lazy; but he
denied that education ever made an indus
trious boy less industrious. 1t did, indeed,
sometimes induce him to choose more lu-
crative fields of labor, and in these he ex
@ rted more pow influence and lived
a more successful lifo by reason of his cul-
turc but should all be educated, the time
would soon como when the sons of farmers
would cease to leave their farms as they do
now. The very necessity of the case would
prevent them from all flocking into few
avocations, and the profession of agricul-
ture would be ennobled instead of degrad-
ed, as so many fear. He urged at some
length the claims of agricultural colleges,
and the necessity of giving farmers special
scientific training in preparation for their
life work. 1t is surely of Importance that
farmers should understand the best mode
of treating different soils, the kind of crops
| best suited to particular localities and soils,
| the best methods of cultivatng the differ
ent crops, and the course Of breeding and
feeding which will produce the best stock.
The time is at hand when the census will
| deprive Vermont and New England of
| their relative importance in the national
government and halls Of Congress. The
only method by which we can counteract
this loss is to take such care Of our schools
that what we lose in power we may gain
in influence. Then, more truly than now,
will New England sit by every tireside in
the country where liberty, culture and true
plenty find a home.
We regret that we can give but so mea-
ger a sketch of an address which was re-
plete with so much wit and real WISDOM

Horse TRADING.-The Methodist, in an
article on "Religion and Business" says;
"a few weeks ago, while travelling in one
of the New England States, we met an &C.
centric old man who combines the occupa-
tions of farmer, householder and colpor-
teur. In his work of mercy, as he styles
his colporteuring, he distributes tracts gra-
tuitously, and sells Bibles and other relig-
ious books at cost to those who can pay for
them, and gives them away to tho poor.
We were very much impressed, as well as
amused, with one remark which the old
man made in the course of the converse
ton: Now, said he, when l start on n
work Of mercy, and stop to deal in horses,
never have good luck. The fact is, don't
want the Lord around when l am trading
horsesrn

You can not SEQ now, as we did ten years
ago, the cabin tables surrounded by plant
ers, merchants and politicians, calling
themselves gentlemen, who would gamble
from morning till night, and again till
morning, stalking, and often losing their
entire fortunes. We do not now encounter
the elegant, gentlemanly, professional gam
bier, who was accomplished in every way,
and not least in the use of the pistol and
bowieknife. Well-educated, fascinating
gentlemen were they, whose hands were
again and again stained with the blood of
their fellow-creatures. All this class of
men are hardly to be found in tho South
west in this goodly year Of our Lord 1870
The war did splendid scavenger-wor in
sweeping them into the other world. And
the young men now coming up into life,
who would have been such as they, find a
better existence in working for their daily
bread. The gang of gamblers who arc our
companions on this trip belong to altogeth-
or another class than those whose places
they fill. These are what the panel thief is

The harp at Natures advent strung

The song the stars Of morning sung
Has never died away,
Aud prayer ia made, and praise Ia given,
by all things near and far;
The ocean iooketh up to heaven
And mirrors every ttr.
Its waves are kneelng on the strand
As kneels the human knee,
Their white locks bowling to:the sand,
Tho priesthood Of the seal
They pour their glittering treasures forth,
Their gifts Of pearls they bring,
And all the listening hills Of earth
Take up the song they sing.
The green earth sends her incense up
From many a mountain shrine;
From folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the morning rills
Rise white az wings of prayer;
The altar curtains of.the hills
Are sunsets purple.air.
The winds with hymns OF praise are loud,
Or low with sounds Of. pain;
The thunder organ Of the cloud,
The dropping tears Of rain.
with dropping head and branches crossed,
The twilight forest grieves,
Or speaks with tongues Of Pentecost
From all it's sunlit leaves.
The blue sky is the temple arch,
Its transept earth and air,

with which her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame
