Intense Excitement throughout the
Valley.
Sr. LOUIS, Aug. 4.-The Montana Her
aid of July 81, contains an account of q
formidable Indian raid in Gallatin VAL
ley. Two men, named JAS. Nixon and
Geo. Shepperd, were killed, and between
two and three hundred head of stock
and horses run off. Two companies of
cavalry, under Capt. Ball and Capt.
Morton, from Fort Ellis, and some fifty
citizens, had started in pursuit. Great
excitement prevailed. Citizens from all
parts of the valley were arriving and con-
centrating at Hamilton, where barricades
were being thrown up. The Indians are
supposed to belong to band of Sioux,
under the Setting Bull, the main body of
which is csmped between Yellow Stone
and Powder rivers They are not treaty
Indians, being on no reservation, and war
indiscriminately upon the other tribes and
whites. They are supposed to number
one thousand lodges, and further trouble
is expected from them. Ear 4

In Caucus-Thiers- The Roman
Question.

A Paris special gives the following
particulars about the CAUCUS of the Left
Center of the National Assembly, which
voted yesterday for the prolongation of
Theirs power as President of the Repub-
lie. Deputies of the Left Center, nOmi-
nally all moderate Republicans, were con
vened by circular which bore the sigma
lures of Gambetta and others, for the
purpose OF shaping the policy for the
party, and to take come definite action
concerning the proposed extension of
Theirs term of Office. The meeting was
very harmonious. AL the members spoke
in praise Of Theirs administration, and
he was recommended as the only man
who is now capable to keep the balance
between all parties. The meeting decided
to support Theirs In his policy of moder
alton, and 10 discourage the maneuvers of
Legitimists and Bonspartists.
One deputy submitted a motion, re.
guessing the government to abstain from
all interference In Roman sffairs. 1t
was accepted. The caucus then voted by
q majority of 100 against five, TO advo
cate in the National Assembly the pro-
longation of Theirs powers for three
years with proviso that Theirs should
bear the title of President of the French
republic instead of Chief of Executive as
heretofore. The meeting resolved by the
same vote to create the Office of Vice
President, the Vice President to be at the
same time President of the Council. 1t
was further decided to express confidence
in Theirs by giving him power to choose
Vice President, but Theirs alone is to
be responsible for the government.
Too Much of a Good Thing,
VERSAILLES, August An the Assem-
bly, to day the COMMITTEES upon the sub
ject, made a report recommending that
the State assume the burthens of the
Provinces which were invaded by the
Germans.
Theirs, to the surprise of many depu-
ties, and amid much excitement spoke in
terms of vigorous opposition to the re-
port. He said the amount of claims
which it would impose upon the public
could not possibly be less than one mil
lard francs, sum which the treasury
was quite unable to pay. He could not
give assent to the plan of the committee,
and was only willing to afford relief TO
the people of the invaded departments
who were actually in need.

Startling Information.

The Louisville Courier ournal, of
the 18th, has the foliowing:
~ correspondent, whom we have
reason to believe to be person of
responsibility, writes to inform us that
a society is forming in some of the
Southern States, such rs Mississippi,
Arkansas and Louisiana, with. the
purpose of getting rid of those negro
desperadoes who may be induced by
money to quit the country. He states
that this society is strong in numbers
and in means; that its operations are
not clandestine; and that, in the alb
sence of Il just administration of tho
laws, it is considered Il necessity to the
peace of the Southern country. 1t is
claimed by the members of the organi-
zation that their method of Kidding
their communities of lawless charac-
tiers by the quiet use of greenbacks is
substantial protest against ku-kluN
violence. But our correspondent says
that one of the conditions fixed to
every disbursement requires that the
recipient shall go north of the Ohio
river, and he suggests that the in
crease of negro outlawry in the North
ern States the last two or three months
is directly the result of the process.

Fresh Blown Flowers in Winter.

Choose some of the most powerful
buds of the flowers you would preserve,
such as are latest in blowing, and ready
to open cut them off with pair Of
scissors, leaving to each, if possible a
piece of the stem three inches long;
cover the end of the stem Immediately
with sealing wax, and, when the buds
are little shrunk and wrinkled, wrap
each of them up separately in piece
of paper, perfectly clean and dry, and
lock them up in dry box or drawer,
and they will keep without corrupting.
In winter, or any other time, when
you would have the flowers blow, take
the buds at night and cut off the end of
the stem sealed with wax, and put the
buds into water; where in Il little nitre
or salt has been defused; and the next
day you will have the pleasure of see
ing the buds open and expand them
selves, and the flowers display their
most lovely colors and breathe their
agreeable odors.-lhanf. and Builder.

Use of Sulphur in Nests.

The powdered sulphur sold by all
druggists is a cheap and handy proven
tive of parasites upon young chichens.
After hen is setting till well establish
ed, sprinkle Il small handful upon her
eggs when she is off, and upon every
part of the nest, and for little distance
all around it. Then when she goes on
disturb her just enough to make her
bristIe her feathers, and then dust an
other handful down to the skin upon
her head neck and every part of her
body not in contact with the nest, and
do not omit to scatter a pinch under
each wing. Then, when the chickens
are Matched, there will be no vermin
whatever to leave the hen and gather
upon the young as is frequently the
case when no precautions are taken.
One thorough application such rs we
have described will suffice.-Rs0'oi

To Get Rid of Flcas.

Mr.. Ely said at the last meeting of
the New York Farmers Club that
there are two or three substances that
are obnoxious to the flea-thesc are
carbolic acid and sulphur. If you
want a barn thoroughly purged of
weevil, or lice, or tleas, the best way is
to fumigate it with sulphur. But if
you whitewash all around the stables
and posts of the yard with white
wash made by adding carbolic acid
to the limo, it will drive most of these
pests away. Washing an animal thus
infested with carbolic soapsuds will
give relief

World, writing from Spartansburg, S.

which illustrates very forcibly the i'm

forcing the laws:
A man from the country, about
eighty years old, presented himself at
the Marshal's Office the other day and
said he had come in to confess. The
commissioner, thinking he had rich
case in hand, seized his pen and asked:
CHOW, my good man, what do you

Cabbage.

How to cook cabbage is thus told in
the American Agriculturist:
In this part of the country there is
great deal of cabbage used, but it is very
seldom boiled whole. 1t is cut as for
cole-slaw and cooked in various ways,
and is more delicate, and the cdor of
boiled cabbage is wholly avoided. In
cooking, use very little water and
salt, cooked few minutes, add butter
or meat fryings, or, better still, cup
of cream added just before it is done.
Some add vinegar, and let it boil up
once.
The incest way 1 ever saw cabbage
cooked is as follows: The cabbage is
cut as for cole-slaw, an egg is beaten
up with a little sweet cream and lit
tie sugar in separate dish; the
amount of vinegar you wish to use is
at hand in another dish. Everything
being ready, drop a little piece of but
ter into the pot over good fire ; do not
let it fry, or it will discolor the cabbage,
but add Immediately the cream prepa-
ration and the vinegar, and stir until
just ready to boil, and then empty in
the cabbage and stir on, letting it boil
one minute or five minutes, according
to taste. This is to eat warm, but is
good cola, though not SO nice as INC
following. Cut the cabbage and lay in
dish as before. Take the amount of
vinegar necessary, a little sugar, and a
little butter; as soon as this boils pour
it over the cabbage, and set it away to
cool. It is impossible to give pre-
else rule, as cabbages differ so much in
compactness, and vinegar varies in
sourness. These preparations are good
for lettuce; and the one with cream,
egg, and vinegar, leaving out the SUI
gar, is excellent for mashed potatoes in
the spring, when that vegetable is not
always of good quality and the appe-
tite Graves something decided.

A student in one of the New York
colleges was charged by the Faculty
with having had a barrel of ale depos-
tied in his room, contrary, of course,
to rule and usage. He received a sum-
mons to appear before the president,
who said, sSir, I am informed that you
have a barrel of ale in your room."
"Yes, sir" "Well, what explanation
can you make ?' "Why, the fact is,
sir, my physician advised me to try a
little ale each day as tonic, and not
wishing to stop at the various places
where this beverage is retailed, 1 deter
mined to have a barrel taken to my
ROOM" tIndeed! And have you de-
rived any benefit from it ?" "Ah Ives,
sir. When the barrel was first taken
to my room, a few weeks since, could
scarcely lift it. Now 1 can carry it
with the greatest ease.''

Living for Self.

Louise and Agnes Harvey are sisters.
Louise Is beautiful and Agnes very
plain. Which do you think is the best
loved "Louise,' you will doubtless
say. No. Louise knows that she is
pretty, and she thinks she may do as
she likes. She lives for herself alone.
She Is never willing to give up any
little plan she may have formed for the
sake Of pleasing Others. Her compan-
ions dislike her because they think her
selfish.
Agnes is always seeking to make
others happy. She does not complain
II she cannot have her own way. Her
face wears q pleasant smile, for she re-
members that sseven Christ pleased not
himself" And she wishes to be like
him, so she tries not to be selfish.
This is why Agnes is loved. And
because she is SO kind and good many
think her beautiful. Let us seek to inn
itate her example, remembering, if we
would be happy ourselves, or beloved
by others, we must not live for our
selves alone.

Maud Muller, all that summer day,
Ralked the meadow sweet with hay;
Yet, looking down the distant lane,
She hoped the Judge would come again.
But when he came, with smile and bow,
She only blushed and stammered, "Ha-ow?"
And spoke of s'pa" and wondered whether
He'd give consent they should we'd together.
Old Muller burst in tears, and then
Begged that the judge would lend him "tcn,'
For trade was dull, and wages low,
And sscraps' this year were somewhat slow.
And ere the languid summer died
Sweet Maud became the Judges bride.
But on the day that they were mated,
Maud's brother, Bob, was Intoxicated;
And Maud's relations, twelve in all,
Were very drunk at the Judges hall.
And when the summer came again,
Tho young bride bore him babies twain
Tho Judge was blest, but thought it strange
That bearing children made such change;
