THE GALLATIN RAIDERS.

Hon. Felix r. Brunot, Chairman of the
Board of Indian Peace Commissioners. com
municatesI the following with regard to the
Indian raid into the Gallatin valley in July
1871. 1t will be remembered from the full
particulars, published in the HERALD at the
time, that two of the settlers of Gallatin val
ley were killed by the Indians and band of
valuable horses driven off by the raiders.
Mr.. Brnnot says:
was at the Red Cloud Indian Agency in
June, and on the 21st had conversation
with Friday, the chief OF a band of Arapa-
hoes, during which / asked him if he knew
anything about the raid in question.
In reply.1 was informed by the chief that
war party of Arapahoes and Cheyennes, in
pursuit of Crow Indians, followed the trail
OF party until it led them to the mountains,
where they lost it. They then went through
the mountains, and when they got to the
other side they saw "a heap of white mans
towns, meaning the settlements in the Gala
tin Valley. They had previously been joined
by three Sioux. The Sioux wanted to go
down to the settlement to get horses, but the
Arapahoes refused to go, and drove the
Sioux back. Afterwards the Sioux returned
and went after horses. They met white
man and killed him there fright on the road"
and took his horse. Friday also said he
heard that they had shot two other men who
fired at them from a house whilst they were
getting some horses, but he did not know
whether they killed them or not. After the
Indians left they ''saw the soldires every
day in pursuit.
My conversation with chief was here inter-
rupted, and had no subsequent opportunity
to resume it.
1t is proper also for me to say that Friday
declared that he yves not one of the raiding
party himself, but that he knows them all
and they told him. He said that there were
no white men with them.
The statement of Friday is chiefly of value
as settling the question as to who were the
raiders, and it establishes conclusively the
innocence of the Crows.

UNDER the Swedish system OF conducting
dairies the milk is set to collect the cream in
tin cans, holding about twenty-five gallons
each, and being about twenty-five inches
deep by twenty inches in diameter. In these
the cream rises to the depth of three to four
inches. The cans are not set on shelves. but
IN large vat-like receptacles, through which
cold spring water is kept constantly running
the cans being sunk in the water to the top
OF the milk, thus keeping the temperature
low and perfectly uniform There are Il

VAN HORN, of the Kansas City, Mo-, Jour-

kept saying, time and again: Il am Demo-

and the news boys and boot-shiners were re-
garding him with mixed wonder and curiosi-

The Hotel Of the Future.

The latest thing in hotels is suggested by
an ingenious correspondent of the Galveston
Neus. 1t is to be called the Aerial Santa
rum. 1t is to be a huge balloon, firmly Sc
cured by strong attachments at a proper
hight 'Galveston,' he says, sis within one
mile of the most delightful climate in the
world, and this climate is directly overhead"
TO the enormous balloon there is to be at
tached framework of sufficiently strong
wire, fitted up to accommodate one hundred
guests. This airy saloon will be reached by
Il smaller balloon acting as all elevator.
When the barometer indicates disturbing
weather, the gas can be let off and the whole
establishment brought down to the solid
earth. We can imagine caravansary of
this kind perfectly delightful. Owing to the
purity of the air the chambermaids would
bloom in perpetual youth and in such viciR7
ity to the immortal gods every man-waiter
would develop into a Ganymede and every
table into Hebe. AS for the gentlemanly
clerk, what limit would there be to his celcs-
tial gifts and graces? And here would the
landlord grow solid, impressive, and jovial
as Jove himself! So near the moon and
stars, what more charming place could there
be for flirting? And when we call to mind
how easily the bores could be thrown over,
we feel that we need say no more.

Demise Of the Last Gcntile Paper In

''L .. ..... Utah.
The Salt Lake Euening Journal, the only
remaining Gentle paper in the Territory of
Utah, has been compelled to give up the
ghost. 1t ''passed in its checks" on the 18th
inst. This result does not speak we'll for the
liberalty or prosperity of the Gentle element
in Salt Lake. The following are the good
bye words: la ~. -,. >....t
This is the last number of The journal. It
does not close because it has accumulated Il
large sum of money. On the contrary it has
vigorously wrestled with financial pr0blems
that would paralyze the brain of Roths-
child, and has fallen. That is in brief it's
history. If it can add eclGt to the visit of
the Agricultural Editors, we cheerfully select
the occasion for its passing away.
1t leaves, we trust. many friends, who will
sincerely regret its demise, but daily journal
has never been very successfully published
on regrets alone. 1t needs money TO subsist

The first Virginia National Park tourists of
the season-Mr. and Mrs Robert Hagemon,
of Binghamton, New York; Mr. and Mrs.
D. W. Tilton, J. T. Conner and Charley
Barber, of Virginia--have just returned.
They arrived back safely on Tuesday after
noon, having made the trip via Sawtelle's
(Henry's) Lake in 13 days. The entire party
speak just as enthusiastically of the Park
wonders as we had expected The ladies
were especially delighted, it being for them
an adventure of so much Importance, COM
pared with the rounds of ordinary travel, and
they having the honor of being the tirst ladies
to visit the Geysesr.
The party camped in the lower Basin Il
and in the upper Basin 81 days; saw all the
principal geysers in eruption, including the
Giant, which they describe as having thrown
up its immense jet to vertical height of $50
feet continually for one hour. The party
more than corroborate all that has been writ
ten of their immensity and splendor. A
very pleasant moonlight fishing and boating
excursion was INDUCED in on Henry's Lake,
and to Mr.. Sawelle, their guide and host,
they desire us to return their thanks for
efficient and courteous services rendered.
The ladies do not consider the journey
hard one, and have suffered not bit, either
in beauty, body or spirit. The return trip
from the upper Basin to Virginia was made
in four days without any effort at haste, and
the wagon road route is higly recommended.

grocer, "my daughter used to help me
in the shop, and want to know whether
she will be obliged to inform her con.
fessor, vino has long been customer OF
mine, of the little tricks we are obliged
to use in our trade!" The Monsignor
replied that, if the Baptist's daughter
was q good girl. she would be bound to
disclose all that lay on her conscience.
"Ah, we'll, if that's the case," cried the
grocer. "I'll just join your church, too;

A DISTINGUISHED VIsIroE -Accortl-
ing to our late English papers, the
noted labor organizer, 10. Arch, OF
England, is coming to this country this
month to spy out the land and to satisfy
himself whether America was the true
home for the workingman, where the
son of the poor man could sit down by
the children Of the rich, write on the
same slate and read out of the same
book, and where they could have full
electoral power" If he does find this
to bs true, he promises that he will
stand on American shores "until he had
drained the laboring serfs out Of Eng
land, in order that they might settle in
the fruitful field of America, with its
80. O00,O0 Of acres yet untitled; and he
would do this until the farmers OF Eng
land were made to bite the dust, if they
refused 70 treat their laborcrs like men -
II he finds his expectations realized,
and We have no doubt ho will, if they
are at all within reason, we may expect
as the result of his visit great increase
OF English emigration tho next year,
for his influence of the laboring and
farming population OF England is pro-
badly unequa!ed by that Of any other

The squabbles for the guardianship OF
the holy place Mt jerusalem break out
afresh at short intervals. On the 25th
OF April, warfare commenced, which
resulted in the provisional closing of tho
church OF st. Helena to the Latins,
Greeks and Albanians. The Latins were
restricted to the use of their oloister,
while the Greeks were allowed process
slons aud rites. The Grotto of the Ma
tlvity has to be guarded by Turkish SOL
diers, and mass is celebrated in their
presence, six sentinels being placed at
the entrance and in the interior. A
hundred soldiers have been quartered in
the church of st. Helena, and the floor
is covered with mattresses, while sabres
and muskets are hung upon the walls.
The riot aud pillage OF April 25 have
been attributed to the Vaccinations Of
the French, Russians and Germans, rs
the ostensible chief protectors of the
holy places; but no redress has as yet
been obtained.

Many of the great cattle raisers in
Texas havo become discouraged, and are
turning their attention to other pur-
suits. Within tho last three years the
falling off in the number Of cattle owned
in those Counties from which statistics
have been gathered is found to have
been one-third. The usual custom with
catte-growers has been to turn ont their
stock to Craze through the year without
feeding. The cost of herding was tri-
fling, and this, with taxes and interest
on the money invested, made up the
entire expense incurred in the business.
The average price for stock is six dollars
head, from Jearlings up. The cattle
are generally sold to traders, who drive
them to adjoining or remote States for a
market. Public opinion, however, is
becoming opposed to the buffalo system
of grazing, which consists in permitting
cattle to range over whole Counties
without regard to the rights of settlers,
aud there is prospect Of tho passage OF
fence low which will put m end to the
present system. This is not to be re-
gretted. Texas will always be rich
grazing country.
