PALMER KNoX.-This splendid stallion, who
has so magnifcently forced himself to the front
at our State Fair, deserves more than passing
notice. He is eight years old, weighs 1850
pounds, is of a brown (nearly black color, was
sired by the well-known "Gen. Knox," and for
looks, appearance and action, is claimed to be
the lest duplicate the old horse has left.
He was raised by M. G. Palmer, ESQ.,, of
this city, from a very superior Morgan
mare, who was noted for her speed and endur-
ance. Subsequently, Mr.. Palmer sold half of
him to E. H. Mckinney of Blddeford. His
owners claim that he was but poorly fitted for
enduring such trial of speed and bottom as
was given him at Bangor. In the first purse in
Held OF ten horses he won the first prize in
2:4O and 2:42. The next day, in a field of seven
horses, he proved himself equal to holding his
own with the whole field pitted against him
and won the second heat 10 2:3S After trot-
ting and scoring all the afternoon he succeeded
IN placing the fifth and sixth heats in $40
each, winning the first prize, and establishing
reputation second to no stallion in this State,
and we think fully e0ualling that of old Gen.
Knox when he returned from the New England
Fair at Springfield, Mass, beating all his COM
petiJors in 2:37.
! Some of the best breeders of horses in this
State have already made arrangements to i'm
prove their stock by the services of Palmer
Knox. His owners being satisfied with the re-
suits of this showing will soon withdraw him
from the turf and keep him exclusively for the
use of those who wish to improve their breed of
horses. We congratulate them on their sue
cess.
He is staying for few days at the South
street stables, where those who desire to See a
good horse can have an opportunity.

Potatoes for Seed,

The following are the ideas of an old farmer m Maine on seed potatoes, as given in the Lewistown Journal: We use too ripe seed
 when we propagate from tubers that have lain in the ground till dead ripe. Plants that are propagated by tubers require diff ierent treatment from those propagated by seeds. Our corn and grain that we use for Iced we like to have stand little longer than the main crop, ard become perfectly inatured. On the same principle our corn is selected from the ripsst, best developed ears and kernels But potatoes for seed should be dug and placed in a cool, dark cellar, just as soon as majority of them will slightly crack open m boiling. This is most invaris- ply while the tops are yet green and grow Ing fast. The tubers are then in their viz orous state. Disconnect them from the na- rent stalk at the time and they retain their vigor. Instead of deterorating. as most all of us know the older sort have, their vitality
 IS increased, and they yield better. with less tendency to rot. As long ago as 1915. and subsequently,, observations led him to make some experiments to test the theory and he hhds It the proper course to pursue. IL ia not often that the late planted potatoes are better for seed than those planted carly The lateness of their planting presumediy prevents perfect ripening, hence the princi pie of the above reasoning would be in force.

Mr. C. w. Fox's Collection of Precious
 Stones from Arizona.

In the Virginia Evening Chronicle, of date February 14th, appears the following:
 We had the pleasure last night of feasting our eyes on the rubies, garnets, hyacinths, amethysts and emeralds of George w. Fox
 We only saw a small portion of the lot, as A
 great number of them had been put up in
 packages, each containing one hundred stones,
 which, we suppose, were intended for the stockholders. The rubies and garnets were
 very brilliant, though in the rough, and have
 no particular shape or capitalization, being amorphous. One very large one, about the
 shape and size of pecan nut, is valued at a
 high figure, and was pronounced by an ex-
 pert yesterday as one of the finest Oriental rubies that he had ever seen, and if this proves true, Mir. Fox will be well paid for his trip as an Oriental ruby is next in valuc and hard. ness to a diamond. Some of the smaller stones are of beautiful carmine red color. many of them yerging on the violet Others are between carmine and hyacinth color, and we believe are called by lapidaries and jewellers "hyacinth." Others are probably the "rock ruby" which is fine variety of garnet. We also saw among the collection fine specimen of jet, which is capable of high polish, but has no commercial value. It is a species of ignite. Mir. Fox showed us what he thought might be emeralds, which upon examination, proves to be malachitc, containing no brilliancy whatever, and being amellar in construction. It is generally found in the vicinity of copper mines but Mir. Fox says that he does not know of a mine of any kind in the neighborhood of the find. We opne that the true emerald which is rare gem, has not yet been found in Ari- zons. The stones may be what are termed aqua marina, s specie of beryl, the coloring matter of which is oxyde of iron, and difIe r. ing greatly from the emerald, which is col ored by the oxide of chrome. The gems which were exhibited to us is proof positive that precious stones do exist in Arizona, the rubies and gArnets being of sufficient value to pay for the working. Mir. Fox lelt this city last night for San Francisco, where a final test of the value of hisl treasures will be made. should they prove to be as valuable as supposed, he will take party of men to work the places on grand scale. The dig | ngs are located in "Scsha Chege" District, | near the northwestern corner of Arizona

 The cooling breeze Of Summer to tho weary. worn traveller is not DWe welcome or more re. freshing than the kind words and loving smiles Of a dear Friend who occupies the most sacred spot in our hearts a6ectiOns, and to whom we cling with devotion and untiring love.

Cheering words, how much we love them how much we need them to keep our courage strong; such words come from irieUd whose advice we prize; whose kind. ly expressions are like wandering notes from a low-toncd instrument of music. They arc messcn. gers from spirit Co spirit, carricrdOyes of pleasant messages, whose comings and goings make up the greater pact Of life.

Revolvers for the Cavalry.

We learn from the Springfield Union tha, two new models of the Smith * &-Wesson and Colt revolvers have been received at inc
 United States Armory, in that city. for trial
 by the ordnance department, and will be
 tested under the immediate superintendence
 Of Col. Benton. Both of these arms have
 been passing through series of practical
 tests m the cavalry service, and certain de-
 iects have been discovered in them, which. it
 Is expected, will be wholly removed by the
 new models. The Colt revolver, originally
 loaded from the front, was, on the expiration ot tho smith * Wesson patent for breech- loading pistols, changed to a breech-loader ana the cylinder securely encased in a solid frame, thus obtaining greater strength and nicer movement about the cylinder-pin. The extractor In- the Colt revolver is s.sanS tlally different from that of the Smith < Wesson manufacture, and removes onIv one shell at time. The Smith tS WesSon n;stoI on the contrary, by a single motion. elects ali the shells at once, and thereby saves no in. considerable amount of time in loading and hring. This advantage is obtained. however by an increased delecacy in the mechanism of the arm. Both pistols are the result of the highest American skill and workmanship. ana have won their way to popularity over all other competitors. Of the Smith & Wes- son revolver, 2O,OOO were manufactured last year Tor the Russian government, and have gwen the fullest satisfaction, and an order rom the same government has recently been received nr 2OOO more. The question of adoption of small arms for the cavalry serv- 1 ice m this country lies between the two | alone. The Remington revolver has not | been very popular among the troops. and will ! not probably be pressed for trial

The ModOc War.

Those residing at R distance from the the atre Of the MOdoc war can form but A faint conception of the embittercd feeling existing among the settlers to Captain Jack and his hostile band. The settlers are avcrse to any proposition of peace which does not contein. plate the removal of the savagcs from that section of country, and will not be reconciled to live on terms of amity with them hereaf- ter To justify this hostility, the Jackson. vile (Oregon) Times gives s catalogue of the murders and other outragcs committed by the Modocs. commencing as far back as l8iG, when they attacked Fremont and killed sey . cral of his men. The Times says that during the many years that immigrants were strv- ing to find homes in Oregon, many a man fell pierced with arrows along the shores of Tule Lake, and the long hair of women was often seen by the roadside, where whole trains of unsuspecting and weary immigrants had been nassacred. The pleadings of women and children did not secure immunity from outrage and murder. When Captain John E. Ross went with a company to Tule Lake | for the protection of immigrants, in the veal 1852, he buried, in one day, fourteen who hat
 been murdered, and was satisfied that many
 more had been massacrcd, which he faileo
 to find. For this service Capt. Ross receive,
 the thanks of the Territorial Legislature
 Subsequently Captain John r. Miller burie,
 on the southeast side of Tule Lake numbe
 of butchered immigrants, and gave the nam
 of Bloody Point to place of ambush nea
 the lake shore. The story of wrong sufiere, by the whites from these Indians, as told b,
 tho Times, is one to excite indignation agains 4 the savages, and we are not at all surprised
 that the settlers are anxious to have then
