Recent dispatches from the Southwest indicate
a growing war cloud among the Indians along the
Upper Red River. War parties OF Klowas and

along the Brazos and the Colorado, and have ex

Nueces, a distance Of nearly 400 miles from their

Bird Song.

To be sure, birds sing as naturally as
they breathe yet it will be found by
close observation that the song of your
Gagged pet is initiative as well as natural.
The quality of bird-notes comes from
the education they receive. During the
last century, a naturalist brought up
some Hnnets, taken from the nest, in
company of larks of sundry varieties,
and found that every one of the linnets
adopted completely the song of the
master set over him, so that now these
linnets-larksb ynaturalization- formed
a company apart when placed among
birds of their own species. Even the
nightingale, whose native sound is so
sweet, exhibits, under domestication, a
considerable readiness to initiate other
singing birds. The song of the bird is,
therefore, determined by its education,
and the same thing must be true as to
building. A bird brought up to a
cage does not construct the nest pecul-
lar to its species. In vain will you sup
ply all the necessary materials the bird
will employ them without skill, and will
oftentimes even renounce all purpose
of building anything like nest. Does
not this well-known fact prove that, in
stead of being guided by instinct, the
bird learns how to contruct his nest,
Just as q man learns how to build a
house +?

Painted Dogs.

A curious practice exists among GER
tain tribes of the South American In
dians of painting their dogs. The ap-
pearance of these animals, as might be
assumed, ismost peculiar, anda stranger,
ignorant of the customs of the people,
would be at loss how to account for
the popularity of their appearance.
They are to be seen of all colors-yel-
low, blue, green and scarlet-while
others are mottled with every variety OF
tint A South American traveller, who
recently accompanied party of natives
on tapir hunt, says that it is the GUS
tom among many of the tribes of the
South American Indians to dye, not
only their own bodies, but the hairy
coats of their dogs with brilliant colors,
obtained from vegetable juices, such az
huitie, yellow roca and indigo. The
light gray, often white, hair of these
animals, favors the staining process,
and the effect produced pleases the eye
of their savage masters, butte :. stranger
the effect is faAtasticaE.
Il could not" he says, RESTRAIN my
laughter, when first scanned the ours
in their fanciful coats picture to your
self pack of scarlet, orange and pur
pie dogs"

CENTRALIZED CAPITAL.

Another monopoly. if indeed it be second to
railroads in a financial sense stands pre-emi-
nently first in the destruction of the liberty of
our people. 1t is that Of the Capitalization of
capital. Our present system of finance has
apparently been created and certainly made to
subserve the interest of privileged class at
the expense and to the detriment of the in
dustriai classes of our people, upon whose
wealth it is bottomed, and whose credit gives
it the little of stability it possesses.
The intricacies of this system enable the
railroad sharks. salary-grabbers; Wall street
classes to perfect and carry out their plans,
tricks, schemes and corners to elevate and
depress the prices of the products of labor.
the necessar1es Of life, and stocks and national
secures at pleasure, and out of these mani
fold charges and combinations to reap golden
harvest at the expense of one common people,
who have warmed these venomous serpents
in their bosoms until they have turned upon
us with their deadly fangs and poisonous virus
to destroy and stings us to death. The ma
tional banking system, In short, enables these
classes to coin false moneys out of that
crucible called debt, and to compel us to use
that money at rates of interest which would
put to blush the vsriest Shylock who ever
loaned money to Christian men.
Do ycu use this money? Examine your
pocketboolss and see what portion of their
what portion of greenbacks. The Govern
ment-that is the people-pays interestgon the
debt on which these national bank bills are
based and issued. and you, the people, pay an
other interest on the bills to the banks that
are based this interest-beariug debt,
thus paying at one and the came time a
double interest. The Government paws
about twenty-five million dollars per
year, and the people pay whatever in
terest the conscience Of these bankers
allows them to ask. and the necessities of the
borrower compel him to pay. No blister ever
drew sharper than this illegal interest it
works all day and all night, in fair weather
and in foul; it's footprints make no sound.

crisp in fat nearly all other meats are
fried, and 1 think a larger proportion
of farmers are dyspeptic than any 9TH
er class. They need better bread,
rare-cooked meats, less fat and grease.
To the frying of meats so fashionable
among farmers, the testimony of the
physicians is unanimously opposed.
Beef and mutton are recommended as
the best meats, and veal and pork are
condemned as unfit for staple articles
of diet. DIR. Adams thus sums up the
testimony on the matter of diet /:
More fresh and less salt meat less
frying and more boiling, broilng and
roasting; a greater variety of vegeta-
bles and fruits f; less pies and cakes !;
more wholesome well-kneaded bread
raised with yeast less tea" We have
space only to refer to one more point,
and that is the badly ventilated rooms
in which many farmers sleep, and the
feather beds on which they lie. On
this point DIR. Lawrence tells the story
in few words "As a general thing,
farmers sleep in the poorest rooms in
their houses, which are very small and
poorly ventilated. Feathers are an
abomination. "-Erchdnge.

THE GENERAL OUTLOOK.
The great length of time already occupied
in this somewhat desultory address, admon-
ishes us that we must hasten to conclusion.
abuses, with which our country is now filed,
and of the remedies by which, as we hopefully
trust, they are in the near future to be fully
eradicated; how the principles philosophy,
objects and aims of this great party are to be
successfully forwarded.
The signs of the times are full of promise.
In many States we have repulsed the forces
of the monopolists, the shouts of victory have
reverberated from the granite hills of New
England, over the fertile prairies of the great
West, and have awakened tho echoes amid
the Sierras of the Pacific coast Nor need we
go to other States for tidings of victory. In
Illinois We have met the enemy and defeated
him in his stronghold.
Our Convention is now called to nominate
candidates for State officers for the coming
fall campaign, who will certainly be elected.
And you. citizens Of Tazewell county, have
formed in the past, and will in the future, a
portion OF this victorious army.
The contest upon which we have entered
demands unhagging energies, a long and
never-tiring devotion to principle, and more
than all else, calls for men who with nerves Of
steel and hearts of iron, unwavering princi-
pies, will stand by the right though the
heavens fall.
LII tHe ldHSudSe VI LII. holldnO. tHdl pure
brave and gifted of New England, we
conclude:
God give us men. A time like this demands
Strong minds great hearts, true faith and ready
hands:
Men whom the lust of Office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of Office can not buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will
Men who have honor, men who will not lie
Men who can stand before demagogue
And damn his treacherous fattery without wink
ing;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and private thinking;
For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn
creeds,
Their large professions and their little deeds,
Miugle in selfish strife-Lo Freedom weeps;
Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps.

The Household.

CHAMPAGNE HAM-Boil the ham very
tender, skin and cover with brown SUI
gar, moistened with champagne. Repeat
three times and brown Ia an oven. Slice
cold.
A NICE DEssERr.-Grate into dish
a layer of cocoanut, then place layer
of quartered oranges and sprinkle them
with sugar. Continue alternating until
the dish is full, with grating of cocoa
nut on top.
THE Country Gentleman recommends
linseed oil meal for horses that are new
er allowed to run out to grass, being
slightly aperient. A handful in each
feed, morning and evening, is about the
quantity usually fed.
RUsK.-Three cups of sweet milk,
one cup of yeast, one cup of sugar,
mixed over night with flour enough to
make stiff batter In the morning add
one cup Of butter, one cup of sugar, add
cinnamon ard soda. Mold and let them
rise before baking.
To Dye GREEN.-Boil the article first
in alum-water for an hour, then for
three hours in preparation composed
OK four ounces of verdigris, two quarts
of white wine vinegar, and four quarts
Of water.
HAIR OIL.-One pint of alcohol two
ounces of castor oil few drops of
perfumery. Shake well to cut the oil.
This is said to be splendid and nicely
perfumed hair oil it softens the hair,
promotes its growth, and prevents it
from falling out.
FRENCH MUSTARD. fine French
mustard, called moutard superbe, is
thus made: Salt, one and one-half
pounds scraped horseradish, one
pound; garlic, Two cloves boiling vim
egar, two gallons macerate in a COW
cred vessel for twenty-four hours,
strain, and add enough of mustard to
make rather thin paste.
SOME egg-raisers claim that the best
use for SKINNED milk is to give it to
hens to drink that it is worth twice as
much for this purpose as for feeding
hogs and that by its use in winter,
chickens will lay constantly. This must
be their only drink /; and let them have
access to it at all times.
GALA lilies, it is said, can be made
splendidly thrifty for indoors in winter,
by a summer baking accomplished thus
la June, place the pots containing
them ON their sides under tree, or in
shady place, and there leave them,
without attention, until September.
The leaves will, of course, fade away,
and the earth in the pot drop and hard
en- almost to the consistency of brick.
Upon being taken indoors in the au-
tumn, and watered thenceforth daily,
the plants will soon start into vigorous
growth and bear noble flowers all win
