Reu York DRY Goods Earkes.

New YORK, Sept. 24-The movement
was very slow with agents but there was
fair jobbiDg distribution. THERE'S no panic
in the dry goods trade, calm and con-
fdent feeling exists and rumors Of failures
are utterly groundess. Prices for cotton
and woolen fabrics are steady. Prints were
in fair demand and short supply. Wool
and cotton fanLels and domestic dress
fabrics are in steadier request. Shawls
quiet.

FARM AND GARDEN.
CARBON FOR STOCK.

There is growing impression among
stock owners thst the health of sheep as
well as cattle suffer from absence of car
bon in their food; and it was suggest ed by
\ correspondent few weeks since that the
worm disease OF sheep had greatly increas-
ed of late years, because the pastures are
not burnt as formerly. The ash or char of
the grasses, it was asserted, gave the carbon
Of which they stand in need. That the
carbon obtained in this way does the sheep
good, is undoubted, because the animals go
licking about burnt place while there is
plenty of good grass around, and they are
not ct all likely to choose what is not good
for them under such circumstances. But if
carbon is the Ingredient sought after, it can
be given to sheep in other and less expen-
siVe forms, for fiequent grass burning is
most suicidal to the man dependant upon
bis grasses.-ELchGn9e
We learnt more than fifty years ago that
both sheep and hogs do best when they
have access to new ground where logs and
brush have been recently burnt in clearing
lnnd. 1t is the alkalies they eat in ashes
(not earbon) that benefits them. These
alkalies, with common salt regularly given,
kin parasites in the kidneys, liver, spleen
and elsewhere, that often destroy sheep and
swine. A little charcoal in ashes (carbon)
is rather beneficial than hurtful to all stock.

Whilst wandering fron home, their fit'ul

Went heedlessly through some still woodland

Where light and shade tremendously meet;

Till just at egeniall they dropped asleep,
And ever since they have been resting there.

ing around the neighborhood of.the
lava beds south of Tule or Rhett Lake,

not allow to go on the reservation, as
was telegraphed you, and who broke

killed by the whites, have returned to

was feared here that they would Join
Captain Jacks band, which, if they
had, would have given him twenty or

his own. The news which reached here
last night, that these Indians had re-

An AneedOte Of General Grant.

Mr.. L. Y. Bierce writes a letter to an
Ohio journal, in which he tells the fol-
lowing anecdote of his own experience
in the late war:
While our army lay at City Point.
on the James River, at the routh of
the Appomattox, in Virginia, my duties
as Assistant Adiutant General of the
United States volunteers, called me
there to consult with General Grant.
One afternoon while walking out with
the General Che being in undress, with
nothing to denote his rank, we passed
boy Of ten or twelve years of age
fishing.
Grant-"Bub, have you good luck
to-day r.
Boy-"Not very they don't bite to-
DAY
Grant" You have got few here {,
won't You give them 10 me ~
The tears started in the little fell
lows eyes as he said: Il have hadno
breakfast to-day, and no dinner, and if
don't sell my fish l shall have nothing
TO get me a supper
General Grant inquired as TO his
history. The boy was native of
Michigan, and his mother was a widow.
To obtain money to support his Wild
owed mother he went into the army as
Il waiter for a captain of the Michigan
/ troops, whose name / cannot recollect.
The captain was dead, and he had not
friend left.
Grant-''Bub, you know where
/ Grants headquarters are?n
Boy" Yes SIR.
4 Grant" Bring your fish mp there at
4 10 o'cloek,a and he will buy them.
" Principally at the time the boy was
on hand with his string of fish. but was
promptly stopped by the orderly in
/ front Of the quarters. General Grant
overheanng the order, stepped out,
took the little fellow 10y the hand. led
him into his quarters, and, becoming
satisfied with the truth OF his story,
procured for him a suit OF clothes, a
hat, free pass on the railroads home,
and gave him $50 in money.
4" Now, Grant may be n bad mani
am not geing to argue that question
but don't believe You could make the
mother of that boy believe il. "
