IN Indian Story.

We learn from a gentleman Of this city,
who is just back from a trip up the river,
the particulars of a rather extraordinary
case of experiences in the last awful biz
Zard.- An Indian and his squaw were
caught out in the storm while journeying
from Fort Randall 10 the Fort Thompson
Agency, and becoming bewildered, took
refuge in small ravine. They wrapped
their blankets about them and sat down
under the bank. The snow soon covered
them, but the Indian kept hole through
the rapidly-forming drift with his gun,
which he would poke up occasionally.
They remained there al sight,, and the
drift became so high in the meantime that
he was obliged TO splice tiie ramrod to the
end of bis 5iile in order to reach The top
and keep Hlp yantilation-a During their
cherries imprisonment the sqaaw was de-
livereI of a child, and it was cbristened

What will Make the Hens Lay.

Pit two or more quarts of water in
kettle, add one large seed pepper or two
small ones, then put the Kettle over the
fire. When the water boils stir in acoarse-
ground indian meal, until you make a
thick mush. Let it cook an hour or more.
Feed hot. HOrseradish. chopped fine and
stirred into the mush has been found to
produce good results. Four weeks ago we
commenced feeding our hens mush as pre-
pared in the above directions, and for re-
suit we are getting from five to ten eggs
per day; whereas, previous to feeding, we
had not had eggs for a long time. We
hear a great deal of complaint from other
people about not getting eggs. To all
such we would warmlyrecommend cooked
food fed hot. Boiled apple-skins, seasoned
with red peppers, or boiled potatoes. sea
soned with horseradish. are good for food ;
much better than uncooked corn. Corn,
when fed bv ITSELF has a tendency to fat
ten hens, instead of producing the more
profitable egg-laying. A spoonful of snl-
phur stirred into their feed occasionally
will rid them of vermin and tone up their
systems. This is especially good for
Young chickens or turkeys. Out of a
flock of ten chickens, Matched the last OF
November, we have lost but one. They
have been fed cooked feed mostly, and arc
growing finely.-Ohio Farmer.

The Cry Of a Cougar.

A gentleman living on the mountain,
about mile and a,half southwest Of this
city, was awakened from his slumbers on
Thursday night by strange noise, re-
sembling the wall of man in great dis
tress. He turned out of bed, intent upon
playing the Good Samaritan, but, strange
TO say, the direction from which the noise
came seemed to have changed, and it be-
came apparent that the incognito from
which emanatedr the melancholy refrain
was travelling on the main road. He went
TO the house of neighbor, who, blythe
way. is an old Oregonian, and. calling him
out of bed, he directed his attention to the
noise in question. The OIegOnian smiled
a disdainful smile. and remarked: . Well,
John, you are badly fooled this time; that
is the cry of the cougar or Oregon lion. -
1t is needless to say that John did not
wish to pursue the subject any longer, but
wended his way back TO bed again, treln-
bling at the idea of what the consequences
might have been had he obSyed his first
impulse and ran down, the road to inter-
view the night-walker.-Porttand tor

not only produce the best organs, but with
greatest economy. Twice as many organs

A u. r. Judge on the Effect of the Civil
Rights Law.

New ORLEANS, May 4.-Judge Morreles, OF
the U. S District Court for the eastern district
drv reviewed the civil rights law and expressed
the the opinion that all persons have legal right
to have board and lodging at inns, transporta
ton on steamers and railroads or stages, ana
bv acouire any social rights To hold that
conductor Of a railroad train cannot assign a
special car to ladies and children and their at
tendants, to the exclusion of all others, provld-
ed the other passengers are furnished WIN
other cars with all necessary facilities for trav-
cling, would, he says, be to stab social rights,
privileges and immunties, therefore my view
of the act is that it was not intended to affect
social rights through civil and legal rights. In
conclusion the Judge said: 'If it should be
made TO appear that any inn keeper, manager
of theatre or transportation agent had refus-
ed proper facilities to any one on account #
race, color or previous condition of servitude,
the grand jury would have authority to find a
true bill against such person"
