Melon Culture.

Melons can be grown so cheaply that
every family should have at least a small
patch DEVOTED to their culture, as they will
be found decided addition to their bill of
fare in summer and autumn. There is
nothing more inviting than a cool, rich,
ripe watermelon, or juicy, toothsome,
green-fleshed muskmelon, when one comes
from the harvest field thirsty, tired and ex-
Sausted with the mornings labor. AS
boon as the soil is warm enough the seeds
tan be planted, and the soil for each hill
should, unless the ground is dark and rich,
De mixed with forkful of cold decom-
posed horse or cow manure. Then drop
five or six seeds into hill, and cover them
about an inch with soil. Scatter hand
full of wood ashes, plaster or bone dust
upon the top of the seeds, to keep away the
bugs. Wood ashes are an excellent pre-
ventive against both grubs and bugs, and
for the first month of the growth of the
plants it is we'll to apply them once week
to each hill.
Lime or plaster is also good to scatter
over the vines, and if applied early in the
morning, while they are yet wet with dew,
will be an efectual remedy for melon bugs
and their like. If one application does not
drive off the marauders, try another, be-
cause the lime of plaster will be beneficial
for the plants, even if it does not keep away
the bugs entirely.

How TO Turn Ont.

dant enough to confide in his stories OF
mountain life. F1 ahfEs
"What night!n said Shep, as the moon
rose broad and clear-"what a glorious
night for drivin' snipe!"
| Here was something new. Two of our
young men were eager to learn all about
the mystery.
driving snipe! what's that Shop?
Tell us about it,"
Ibid we never hear? replied Shep, with
a face expressive of wonder at their igno-
rance. "Why, it's as old as the noun
tains, I guess; we always choose such
weather as this for drivin' snipe. The
snipe are fat now, and drive better, and
they're better eatin too. 1 tell you, a
breakfast of snipe, broiled on the buffalo
chips, is not bad to take, is it, Dick ?''
Beaver Dick, who had just arrived in
camp, thus appealed to, growled an assent
to the proposition contained in Shops
question; and the boys, more anxious
than ever, pressed Shop for an eXplana-
ton.
"Maybe,n said one of them, 'maybe we
can drive the snipe tonight and get mess
for breakfast; what have we got to do,
Shep?n
"0h well" responded Shep, ''if you're
so plaguey ignorant, Pm afear'd you won't
do. Howsomever you can try. You boys
get a couple of them gunny sacks and
candles, and We'll so out and start 'em
up"
Elated with the idea of having mess of
snipe for breakfast, the two young men,
under Shops direction, each equipped
with gunny sack and candle, followed
him out upon the plain, half mile from
camp, accompanied by some halfdozen
members of our party. The spot was
chosen because of its proximity to marsh
which was supposed to be filled with
snipe. In reality it was the swarming-
place for mosquitoes.
New said Shep. statinning the boys
about ten feet apart nopon your sacks, be
sure and keep the mouths of 'em wide
open, and after we leave you, light your
candles and hold 'em well into the sack, so
that the snipe can see, and the rest of us
will drive 'em up. 1t may take little
spell to get 'em started, but if you wait pa
tiently they'll come"
With this assurance the snipe-drivers
left them, and returned Immediately to
camp.
"I've got couple of green 'uns out
there" and he with sly wink. "They'll
wait some time for the snipe to come up, L
reckon"
The boys followed directions,--the sacks
were held wide open, the candles kept in
place. There they stood, the easy prey of
the remorseless mosquitoes. An hour
passed away, and yet from the ridge above
the camp the light of the candles could be
seen across the plain. Shep now stole
quietly out of camp, and, making long
circuit, came up behind the victims and,
raising war-whoop, fired his pistol in the
air. 4 sz

The Government Unable TO Rem
der Assistance.


ST. LOUIS, May pa special dispatch
reports a great excitement among the
Washita Indians on account of the muir
der of their principal chief by the Osages.
A Washington special says that the Mex
lean Minister anticipates no trouble be-
tween the two countries over the Invasion
after the KickapOOs.
{ WASHINGTON, May 24.-Parties from the
Spruce mountains, report that the Indians,
after stealing lead from the smelling works,
were traced to their camp, where coun-
Gil was held. Mischief is evidently meant.
Fifty Gosat warriors participated in the
council. The Gosats are from Utah Terri
tory. A number of Shawnees also partici-
pated. All were armed.
The citizens, becoming alarmed, formed a
guard, but found that the Indians had
purchased all the powder, leaving the set
tiers defenseless.
A messenger was sent to Fort IIalleck
for arms, which were refused.
The persons living in the threatened Sec
ton, who were summoned as jurors, have
been excused, as their presence was needed
to protect their families.
Government assistance cannot reach the
settlers in time, should the Indians make
any demonstrations, as there are only seven
available soldiers at Fort Halleck. The
regular garrison are in the Modoc country.
The Spruce mountains are in ElkO coun-
ty, 65 miles from Elko.
The War Department has advices that
the Sioux tribe attacked Fort Abraham
Lincoln, Dakota territory, but were driven
off.

KNOXVILLE TENN SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 25, 1878.
A Day I'm the Vatican.

Plus the Ninth rises at six in the morn
ing, alone and without aid from a cham
beilain, in spite of his extreme old age.
Having performed his meditation, he rings
for his chamberlain, who watches>ln
room adjoining his, and proceeds to read
his mass in the pontificial chapel, assisted
by his Grand Almoner, Mgr. de Merode,
Mgr. Marinelle, Archbishop of Porphiry.
A quarter of an hour later he takes light
meal, receives Cardinal Antonelli, opens
his letters, gives audiences. At half-past
eleven or at midday his promenade begins.
Attwo o'clock he dimes, eating little and
drinking Bordeaux wine, which the sister
hood of st. Joseph of Bordeaux send him.
He rests himself until about four on an
extension chair. Then he receives the
cardinals, the religious orders; studies the
matters submitted to him. AT seven the
offidal receptions are opened until nine
o'clock /; he goes to bed at half-past ten or
eleven O'Clock. He no longer leaves the
Vatican ; this impressionable pontiff, who
used to love the acclamations of the popu-
lace, wears mourning in his palace. At
Rome there are no longer either religious
fetes or pontifical.
The Pope Is said to be kind and tender,
but man of impressions. Rarely does he
turn back from first emotion, men and
things please him or displease him at first
sight, and preserve in his eyes their agree
able or disagreeable physiognomy. This
spontaneity of resolve, which proceeds
from great delicacy of the perceptive fac
ulties, renders him person moulded with
difficulty. In truth, the great art of Car
dinal Antonelli, by which he has preserved
the favor of the sovereign through a long
reign of twenty-seven years, has been to
discover his faintest thoughts and to con-
form himself to them.-Scri6ner'S for June.

State Convention of County Superiniend
ents.

| entS.
In obedience to an invitation by Col.
Fleming, twenty-five out of the forty
three County Superintendent of Public
Instruction so far elected, convened in the
Capitol at Nashville on last Thursday af-
ternoon. Blount, Greene, Washington and
Knox were the only East Tennessee coun-
ties represented. The attendance from the
other two section was about equally di-
vided.
The meeting was simply advisory and
for general consultation upon obscure
points of the law, and as to the best mode
of proceeding with the school work.
The State Superintendent will soon is
sue regulations embodying, among other
things, the important points discussed and
agreed upon by the convention. 1t was
decided that the time of opening schools
be left to the district directors, so as to best
suit the convenience of neighborhoods.
The fee Of county Superintendent Tor ex-
aiming teachers is left to be fixed by
county courts. In receiving certificates,
teachers must produce evidence of good
moral character. 1t was thought best, not
to make the examination too rigid at first,
owing to scarcity of teachers. The grade
will be raised afterwards.
Much trouble was experienced in deci-
ding what shall constitute the school dis
trict. Lit was agreed that it be as nearly as
possible ideEoical with the civil district,
We learn that the State Superintendent
now proposes to call a convention of the
Superintendent for each division of the
State after the July elections.

THE FIRsT.BORN.
BY ELIZABETH c. KINNEY.

Tread rev rently, this is holy place!
A spirit born to live eternally:
Speak low commences here human race;
An infant-man, Gods image on his face,
In life's rough journey takes his first degree,
Opens his eyes, ali ! not the end to see,
Only Omniscience all that path can trace
Softly in whispers; there mother lies,
The dew of youth upon her, yet so pale
She folds white hands, and looks with up
turned eyes,
To her Deliverer, seen as through the veil
OF this hours weakness still, her full heart
tries
For thankful utterance, though words may
fail. --Scribner' S for June.

''Margaret" is an English story Of devoted
and self-sacrlHcing sister, who makes it her
chief duty in life to advance the schemes and
interests Of an ambitious brother, who sighs
for literary fame. The tone OF the book Is
religious, and the plot and style are attractive.
The illustrations, however, seem to have
been rather summarily cut down from the

suffer losses of portions of their hats or
