A Stone Mana Curiosity on the
Republican River.

We make the following extract from
letter to the Philadelphia Press, writ
ten by 8 correspondent crossing the
Plains with a military expedition. 1t is
the story Of pioneer employed as a
guide:
One day some young fellows said they
was going over to see the one man.
had often heard them talk about the
stone man, but never believed there
was anything in it. So one of the young
fellows said to me: Now, Nelson, YOU
Jest shut up about the man, or come
along and see him" Next morning l
borrowed pony, and eight of us rode
across the country to the North Fork of
the Republican. 1t was about 4 o'clock
when we cum to little stream that
empties into the North Fork, and the
the Indians told me the stone man was
just little way up the stream. We
went on about half mile, when the
Indians dismounted, tied their ponies,
and pointed to the right. About hun
bred yards from the stream there he
was, sure enough. The Indians, who
had been very noisy all along, would
only speak in whispers, and wouldn't 90
within ten feet of him. He lay on his
back, with his right hand resting on his
breast, and his left arm gone. Istepped
him, and he was twenty-five feet long.
His chest was seven feet broad at the
shoulders, and his teeth were eight
inches long. One side of his under Jaw
had been broken off with a. sledge-
hammer, and two of his teeth were gone.
1t was broken by trader, who took it
into North Platte, where it now is. He
had been tellin' some of them fellows
about the stone man, and they wouldn't
believe him, SO when he came out again
he sledged off the jaw and took it in to
show them. He had also sledged off
the right arm near the shoulder, but
two men could not carry it, and it was
still lying beside the body. There was
a cavity in the stomach, and also in the
eyes, but the nose, ears and cheeks were
perfect. The nails on the toes had
grown out half an inch beyond the
flesh, and oneleg was slightly drawn up.
The veins were visible under the skin,
and the flesh had dried on the ribs so
you could count them. l had never
seen anything like it, and if | hadn't
seen it | wouldn't have believed it was
thar"
W. uau all llSl0n6Q TO InlS STORY with
feelings of doubt, wonder, and amaze
ment. The General said: Mr.. Nelson,
how far are we from the stone man
-now2'
"About one hundred and twenty-five
miles"
"And how far will we be from him
when we get to Thickwood Creek, where
we are going?"
About eighty miles,"
If we scout up the South Fork of
the Republican, how far dove pass from
the stone man? '
"Not over twenty miles,"
"Then," said the General, "we shall
look up this wonderful stone man and
mind you, Nelson, il you have told us
prairie yarn about him wesball take the
liberty of treating you to colo bath in
the river:
Nelson solemnly averred that all he
had said was true, and expressed him
self perfectly willing to be ducked if he
could not point out just such "stone
man" as he had described.

bulk is in all cases essential to healthy
action Of the digestive organs, but con-
centrated matters containing highly nu-
tritive properties may be rendered most
valuable and efficient by adopting the
easy process Of cutting hay and straw in

material. Straw, especially, may be uti-
lied in this way, that under other con-
ditions an animal would not eat. The
food is quicker and easier passed on to

material consequent upon moving abous

TRAPPING CUT WORMS IN GARDENS.

An exchange says: 1t is very annoy
ing after having set out nice lot of sweet
potatoes or cabbage plants, to see them
cut down one by one by cut worms, We
have tried ashes, lime, SCOT, and, in fact,
everything we have ever heard of, but
never found anything efectual until, by
accident, we found three or four Of the
worms gathered under a small board
which had been left by some children on
a sweet potatato hill. Acting upon this
hint, we placed small pieces of board,
large chips, ETC., all through the patch,
and we trapped them by hundreds. The
boards must be lifted early in the morn
ing, and on every warm day again about
noon. A little care for few days will
clear these pests out of the garden. One
trial will satisfy any person of the merits
of this plan.

CAUSE OF THE DETERIORATION OF THE

CAUSE OF THE DETERIORATION OF THE
WHEAT CROP.
Frederick Watts, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, in a recent letter says: THE
experience of many years has led me to
the conclusion that the deterioration, of
the wheat crop is mainly attributable to.
the improper and untimely use of barn.

The ground is again plowed in the spring

BILE of this crop all the manure of the
barnyard is put, then rlowed again and
and sowed with wheat. This delicate
plant is thus subjected to the rawness and
grossness Of barnyard food, with all its
germs Of flies, worms, lice and bugs
seemingly sufficient cause of the I'M
successful growth of grain so pure ard
delicate as wheat. Corn is the hog of
plants, and Will deyour food of any quail

the sod, to De plowej for corn, is the
place for barnysrd manure. Bury it deep,
and when the ceru is cut Of, break the

thus received proper preparation, is fit

has taught me this lesson. On my farm

l. ncoIn's Kindness OF Heart

Col j. W. Forney in his "Anecdotes
of Public Men," published in the Wash
ington Chronicle, relates the following
which occurred while he was Secretary
of the U. S. Senate:
"One day very energetic lady called
on me to take her to the President and
aid her to get private soldier pardoned
who had been sentenced to death for de.
sertion, and was to be shot the very next
morning. We were much pressed in the
Senate, and she had to wait long time
before could accompany her to the
White House. 1t was late in the after
noon when she got there, and yet the
Cabinet was still in session. / sent my
name in to Mr.. Lincoln, and he came out
evidently in profound thought, and full
of some great subject. stated the OBJ.
ject of our CALL and, leaving the lady in
one Of the chambers, returned to
the Senate, which had not yet adjourned.
The case made deep impression on me,
but l forgot it ia the excitement of the
debate and the work of my office, until,
perhaps, near 10 o'clock that night, when
my female friend came rushing into my
room, radiant with delight, with the par
don in her hand 81 have been up there
ever since" she said. "The. Cabinet ad.
journed. and l sat waiting for the Pres-
dent to come out and tell me the fate Of
my poor soldier, whose case l placed in
his hands after you Left but waited i'll
vain-there was no Mr.. Lincoln. So |
thought l would 60 up to the door of his
Cabinet chamber and knock. | did 50,
and as there was no answer, | opened it
and passed in, and there was the worn
President asleep, with his head on the
table resting on his arms, and my boys
pardon signed at his side. l quietly
walked him, blessed him for his good deco,
and came here to tell you the glorious
news. You have helped me to save Ia
human life"
This is the material, if not for solemn
history, at least for those better lesson,
which speak to us, from the lives of the
just and the pure.
