The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1875-02-18

A CORRESPONDENT of the London
Fanciers' Gazette writes that ''a drop of
inseed oil put on the ends of perches
in the cage of canaries, where the red
mites sometimes breed by thousands,
will instantly kill them, and, applied oc-
casionally, will keep others away. They
can be easily kept out of the nests by
dredging the box or basket with quick
lime inside, and then making a nice nest
with clean moss. Another correspon-
dent, "Fringilla, writing upon the
same subject, says; 81 paint my cages
with carbolic acid, pure or mixed with
water to dip the edge in a solution is
simpler. Don't let the birds enter till
the cage is dry. Six months have elaps-
ed since I doctored my cages, and I
have not seen mite since. My birds
are allowed to battle frequently"

GOLD IN THE BLACK HILLS.

Here is a story about gold in the
Black Hills. It is told by Mr.. James
Bridger, an old mountaineer, who lives
in jackson county, Missouri. In 1859
he acted as guide and interpreter to
Capt. Reynolds, United States Engineer,
in an expedition to explore the head
waters of the Missouri, Yellowstone,
Columbia and other Western rivers.
Lieut.. Lee, Capt. Menadier and DR..
Hayden were along with a number Of
Transfers and other employees. One
day while in the Black Hills, Mr.. Bridg
CT stopped to drink at a brook, and was
attracted by the curious appearance of
the bottom of the stream. He picked
up handful Of yellow pebbles from the
size of pins head to that Of bean.
Though well acquainted with the ap-.
pearance of gold, he was in doubt and
took handful of the stuff to DR.. Hay
den and Capt. Reynolds, who pronounc
ed it pure gold. Capt. Reynolds be-
came excited and insisted that Mr..
Bridger should cast it away and not tell
any of the party about it fearing that it
would break up the expedition, by in
ducing the men to desert and hunt for
gold. Mr.. Bridger has since travelled
several times through the Black Hills
and has found gold in other places,
though never to the same amount. The
old gentleman says there is good farm
ing and grazing land in that country,
and in the winter, which is severe,
stock of every kind can find shelter and
food in the valleys. He thinks it fool
ishness for white men to invade the
country, except IN large parties and well
armed, and he says it is impossible to
go there before the middle of June,
owing to the severe cold and the snow
in the mountains.

''MT daughter keeps my farm accounts,
sir; and she is as systematic and partic-
ular as ever my son was, who kept them
before he left home. I tell you it does
girls (and might have added boys also)
''good to give them some responsibility,
and set them to watching things about
the farm and household They learn, [
find, economy by it, and soon discover
that their old father is not, necessarily, a
grabbed old curmudgeon, because he
does not loosen his purse string when
ever they see something they happen to
fancy; for they discover the real reason
why the purse should not be opened. !"
So a progressive farmer, kind, appre-
ciative and proud father, and big
hearted man on general principles.
What he said is worth recording.

A CURIOUS INDUSTRY.

The statement recently made, that
the supply of ostrich feathers from
Africa is gradually becoming far made
quate to the great and constant demand
for them by dealers, has led to some in
teresting explanations of the methods of
treating and disposing Of these articles
in the workshops Of Europe, where this
curious industry is almost exclusively
carried on. It appears that the feathers
plucked from the living ostrich are far
more beautiful, as well SIS more durable,
than those tax N some time after death
but the feathers obtained from recently
killed birds have the same qualities of
adaptation as well as the living ones,
and are fer superior to the cast or drop
ped feathers. The plumage Of the male
bird, as is generally the case in all
varieties Of the feathered race, is very
superior to THAI OF the female, the fine
dropping plumes on the back and near
the tail being of the purest white, while
those of the female birds are never free
from the well-knewn tinge of gray near
the tip. The preparation of these feath-
ers for their ornamental use is an in
dustry peculiar in some respects. They
are first tied together in bundles, plung-
ed into tepid soap and water, and rub
bed with the hand to free them from
grease, and, after remaining in this for
few minutes, they are washed several
times in pure water, as hot as the hand
can bear, to rid them of the soap. Then
they are bleached by being placed for a
quarter of an hour in boiling water.
holding in solution Spanish white, the
solution being frequently agitated dur
ing the time, and feathers washed in
pure water on their removal. The next
process is to pass the feathers quickly
through bath Of cold water tinted with
indigo, and the final one consists in
srlIphuring them, and then hanging
them up to dry. The ribs of the feath-
ers are scraped to render them plant,
and the filaments are curled by drawing
the edge of a blunt knife over them.
They are made to take a variety of
beautiful colors, and of these rose color
is given with safflower and lemon juice,
and deeper shades of red by a boiling
bath of Brazil wood, and subsequently
bath of cudbear. Indigo supplies the
blues, and tumeric the yellows.

But for the presence ola few par
ties who are in the habit of visiting
our neighboring town of Red Rock,
might say that all is quiet at
Pleasantville. l understand that
the parties referred to are somewhat
grieved because the powers that be
are disposed to intercept their reg

been grand closing out of stocks
on hand for this week in consequence
ofthe District Court being in session in
Knoxville. Lido not wish to cast any
reflections upon the village on the
river, but am indeed sorry that the
better portion of the people of that
community do not put stop to the
whiskey traffic among them.
This is the day for our Annual
municipal election. There seems to
be but one issue: Beer or no beer
whiskey or no whiskey. Surpris-
ing as it may appear to some, there
are still those among us who favor
the granting of license for the sale
of beer, claiming of course that by
their method alone can drunkenness
be effectually prevented. However,
| believe that this class is largely in
the minority.
The news thus far received here
concerning the railroad is not gener-
ally regarded as of the most flatter.
ing character. Our people are heart
lily interested in this matter, and are
persuaded to still bide the time with
patience until an opening shall APP
pear through which a brighter pros
pect may bediscerned, notwithstand-
ing our correspondent for the Pella
paper seems to have had his conf
dence shaken in regard to theinterest
manifested for us by the people of
Knoxville.
Several important changes have
taken place in our town of late.
Messrs. ID. & III. Hockert have sold
their dry-goods store to Messrs.
Cleaveland & Neal and our friends
Tummy and William can be seen at
any time, ready for customers. ID.
Hockert has sold his residence prop
erty to Mr.. III. ID. Lucas, of Union
township; price 5000. Mr.. Lucas will
remove to town about April LIST, hav-
ing leased his farm to his sons. Mr..
III. Hockert has sold his property to
Mr.. G. ID. Neal, who also contem-
plates removal to town this spring.
A meeting has been in progress at
the M. E. Church some two weeks,
conducted by Rev. +. A. Goodrich,
the pastor, and Rev. Geo. Wright, of
Norwalk. Quite good feeling has
prevailed during the meeting. and
five or six persons have united with
the church. More anon.

HOW he WAN Shaved.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: An old
gentleman in standing collar and parsi-
nonious looks entered the Gibson House
barber-shop yesterday and negotiated for
a square shave. He was shaved.
"Shall trim your hair little ?" inquired
the barber. =,
was shorn.
"Shall shampoo your hair, sir?"
"Thank e don't keer now ifyou do he
was shampooed.
"Shall dye your hair shadeo"
His hair was dyed. Then he arose from
his chair and rendered the astonished ra-
sor-slasher ten cent shin plaster that
looked as is 1t had been TO market every
morning during the flood.
Its dollar and five cents, sir, said the
chin scraper.
"Wh--a-tw screamed the muchly bar

"But sir you had your hair cut, dyed,
and shampooed, besides being shaved
"Well dern my buttons, | thought you

paid the sum with Il look that plainly
showed the ragged edge of his remorse,
and his loss of confidence in the human
race.
