THE INDIANS.
Instructions to the EeIC SiOIG1 Commission
eTs--The Indians Mast Support
Themselves by CtGItiUGtiH0
the Soil.
reading.


The instructions to the Sioux commits
sioners appointed under the recent act of
congress are nearly completed. One of
the most important subjects of negOtia-
ton is that represented by the fifth clause
of the instructions, and the president is
strongly impressed with the belief that
an agreement which shall be best cal0u-
lated to enable the Indians to become
self-supporting is the one which shall pro-
vide for their removal at as early a day
as possible to the Indian Territory.
They must depend for their support
mainly upon the cultivation of the sell,
and their own country is quite unfit for
that purpose. The superior climate and
soil of the Indian Territory, and the fact
that that territory is forever secured to
the Indian people, should afford strong
inducements for the Indians to enter into
such an agreement. The Indians cannot
now live upon their reservation without
aid of the government, and it is under
no obligation to continue its supplies of
food, while no money consideration should
besOfered them as an induCemeRt for any
undertaking on their part. 1t is be-
lieyed that the government will will
ingly furnish their subsistence, medical
assistance and schools until they can
care for themselves, in case of their
removal to the Indian Territory. If,
however, they decline to agree to such
removal, they should be informed that
they will be obliged to go to the Mis-
souri, river to receive such supplies as
shall be provided under any future act of
congress and treatise with them now in
force.
SALE OF ARMS STOPPED.
The following order has been sent to
nearly all the Indian agencies by the In
dian commissioner;
WASHINGTON, August 22d, 1876.
DEAR SIR-N-ou are advised that all
sales of arms or ammunition to either
whites or Indians by parties holding IL
censes as Indian traders issued by this
office must be stopped instantly. You
will so notify your traders, and will be
vigilant in seeing that no violation of
this order is allowed. If any instance of
such violation occurs you will revoke
the license Of the offending party and
report the case to this Office for further
action.
THE SIOUX AND BLACKFEET.
Advices from Indian commissioner
Dickinson, dated Fort Ellice, August
7th, state that the Sioux now on the war
path against the United States had sent
presents of tobacco to the Blackfeet In
dians and requested the latter to join
them. The Canadian Indians replied that
they would keep the peace, and would not
Join them in fighting. The Sioux sent
message in return that when they had
finished with the Americans they would
cross over and capture the Blackteet's
country. The latter wanted to know if
they would be assisted by mounted
police, and officers in charge and assured
them that they would be protected.
The Blackfeet said they could muster
two thousand warriors if any trouble
arose.

ABOUT YOUR PULSE

Every person should know how to
ascertain the state of the pulse in
health; then, by comparing it with
what it is when be is aiiing, he may
have some idea of the urgency Of
his case. Parents should know the
healthy pulse of a child, since now
and then person is born with a
peculiarly slow OF fast pulse,
and the very case in hand may be of
such popularity. An infants pulse
is 14O, childs of seven about so,
and from twenty to sixty years it is
70 beats a minute, declining to 60 at
fourscore. At sixty, if the pulse al
ways exceeds 70, there is disease;
the machine working itself out,
there is a fever or inflammation
somewhere, and the body is feeding
on itself, as in consumption, when
the pulse is quich.

To the citizens who look to the
Presidential election as the means OF
securing reform, Gen. Hayes letter
OF acceptance must prove very &C
ceptable. It breathes the language
of an honest, fearless statesman, and
the spirit of sincere and earnest re-
former. It is the best contribution
Of the kind that has been given to

For Presidential Electors
GOSPEL TEMPERANCE.

Captain Fred J. Dean gave an adj
dress OF Gospel Temperance at the
Methodist Church last Sunday evening
to a large audience Captain Dean re-
ferred to the first temperance movement,
the Washingtonion movement in Balti-
more, the Woman movement il OHIO,
and the present religious aspect OF the
Temperance increment, He also refer
red to his own incompetence and his re-
formation, and gave brief relation Of
how his reformation was brought about.
He referred TO the evils Of intemper-
ance and the danger Of moderate drink
ers becoming Incorporate, and denied
there being any moderate drinkers.
He urged the necessity Of every one
signing the temperance pledge and be-
coming member Of some temperance
organization.
Captain Dean was quite severe On
what he called policy men. Like some
other recently reformed temperance men
he msy think be knows better what
should be dcne to remove intemperance
aid its evils than those who have been
laboriDg for the purpose double the
number Of years that he has months.
So If paragce men who have long
been ia the field do not agree With him
in all the measures which he might
advise it is easy % speak Of them as
policy men. But is he promoting the
cause of temperance in doing so?
What IS it to be policy temperance
man? II we understand IT, it Is TO act
wisely in deyising and executing tenn
perance measures. And il will require
the most profound thought Of our wisest
temperance men and Cur ablest states
men to devise and execute measures TO
remove intemperance. And we rejoice
in BELIEVING that the thoughts of our
WlSGSL Tel pcEdAC6 Iutu anu dDAG9b ottt' 90
men are directed to the subject and that
in due time they viii devise measures
of possible and successful execution.
For the benefit Of those who may differ
from Us in the foregoing remarks we
will,say that policy is higher incentive
so right action than expectancy. And
even Paul acknowledged the right Of
being sometimes governed by expediency.
Some things were lawful for Paul and
others in his day which were not ex
pedient Some things are lawful now
which are not expedieat. 1t is not
policy to attempt to do the Impossible.
It IS not policy for temperance men and
especially temperance Lecturers to speak
disrespectfully of policy temperance
men. It is policy for temperance lee
turer to speak respectfu OF policy
temperance men or to keep silent in re-
1stion to them.

The Boston Advertiser youches
for the story that a gentleman in
that city, on the Sd day of June last,
recorded, signed, and sealed a pre-
diction embodying the following
points: Cd That Hayes and
Wheeler would be nominated at
Cincinnati; 81 that Tilden and
Hendricks would be nominated at
ST. Louis; (a) that Hayes and
Wheeler would be elected in No
vember; az that certain person
designated would be secretary OF
the war under the new administra-
ton. The predictions thus far have
been singularly verified.

T. T. L.. writing from Highlands, North Caro-
lima, furnishes very interesting communication
for this paper. His many friends will read it
with much pleasure and will be highly gratlfied
in learning that his sister is recovering from her
consumptiYe symptoms. We hope and trust
her recovery may be perfect and permanent.
1t would seem that T. I. i. and his associates
did not pass through purgatory in the Mann
mouth Cave, or if they did, it was Convenient
for him not to speak Of it. Perhaps the guide
thought they knew enough about purGat0ry
without passing through it, and did not inform
them where it was and lead them to it, or if he
did, perhaps they thought it best to delay its
passage asl long as they could.
In 1858 we visited the Monmouth Cave and
took both the short and the long journeys. In
the short route we took branch from the main
cave, followed it to its end and then returned.
Again we took another branch and followed
that to its end and then returned. While on
this route our company all passed through pur-
gatory. None Of us was willing to return with
out making the passage, feeling that we might
never have better opportunity. Purgatory is
a narrow and low passage on one side OF one OF
the branches and elevated several feet above
its floor Fat Mans Misery is roe 10 De conlpaT-
ed with it. 1t is so low that one could not rise
on hands and knees OF hands and feet, and so
narrow that neither hands nor elbows, nor knees
nor feet could be spread out to either side. And
after one had passed through it, it would be
difficult for him to to tell how he did it. The
most intelligent information he could give would
be, know have passed through Purgatory and
ROW I am out.
The short journey as our company took it was
called nine miles and the long journey eighteen
miles We were inclined to think the distances
were exaggerated. At the end Of the long route
there is q perpendicular descent OF several
hundred feet which had never been explored
when we were there. On our return the second
day our company laid the foundation of stone
monument to Dr.. Kane. We should be glad to
know whether it has ever been finished or if
ike the monument to General Washington,
| it remains unfinished.

WE have received the Premium let of theTwenty
Seventh Annual Fair Of the Racine County
Agricultural Society. 1t is a well executed pamp-
let. We take the following from Article Thirteen
of the Constitution: "Ary person may become
member of this society by paying
into the treasury annually the sum Of one dollar
....and no person shall be allowed to compete
for any premiums unless they are members OF the
society" BY this il is probably meant thatnone
but members of the society win be allowed to
compete for premiums.

if desirable-setting them about four
feet apart each way.
The best way of pruning the currant
is to keep the plant in bush form,
and for this but little pruning is need
ed. After the currant wood has borne
its second crop, the fruit begins to de-
teriorate, and this old wood should be
cut away, as should any weak or sup
erhuous shoots, thus keeping the wood
of the whole plant young and vigor-
GUS.
Among the best varieties for general
use are the old White and Red Dutch !;
the Cherry, large and snowy, but not
of fine quality; knights Sweet Red,
similar 10 the Red Dutch, but larger;
Victoria, large, good flavor, and very
long punches; and the White Grape,
Which is decidedly the best Of tie
white varieties.

THE CURRANT.

The currant, although indigenous to
both Europe and America, received
but comparatively little attention until
within the last one hundred years.
The red currant in its natural state is
small, insipid and unproductive but
with careful cultivation for a few gen.
erations the plant becomes more robust
aud prolific, and the fruit is greatly
improved both in size and quality.
Most if not all, of our cultivated vari
cites are of European origin, and a
large portion of their present value is
due TO the efforts of English cultiva-
tors
The cUrrant may be propagated in
four different ways-by seeds, sprouts,
layers and cuttings. The first method
is employed only when rev varieties
are desired, and is not of interest to
the general reader. Propagation by
sprouts and layers is quite common,
but is slower, more troublesome and
less satisfactory than is the last method
mentioned-that of propagating the
cuttings. Cuttings may be at any time
when there are no leaves on the plant
and the wood is not frozen, but the
best results usually come from cuttings
made in the fall as soon as the wood is
thoroughly ripened. Cuttings should
be made of wood of the present sea
sons growth, and should be about
eight inches in length. When conven-
lent, it is better to cut them off Just at
the base of bud, but this is not nee
essary; and where large quantities are
made, the usual way is to tie the cut
tings as they come from the bushes into
bundles, and chop off the ends with an
ak. The cuttings should be planted in
the fall, but if this is not done, they
may be buried through the winter, OF
packed in moss or sand, and kept in
cool cellar. If treated in this way they
will form a good callous by spring, and
be ready to strike roots at once when
planted. The ground for planting
should be prepared in the same man.
ner whether the cuttings are planted
in the fall or spring. If the work is
deferred until spring it should be done
as soon as the soil is dry enough to be
handled, as the currant makes its new
growth very early in the season. The
best soil for the currant is deep rich
loan, and If somewhat clayey it is bet
ter than if sandy. 1t is true that tine
currant will grow anywhere and in
almost any soil, but a favorable loca-
ton will greatly increase the vigor of
the plapts and improve the size and
quality of the fruit. The soil should
be thoroughly cultivated and pulveriz-
ed. and manure should be added If nee
essary-then mark out the rows four
feet apart. Dig trenches six inches
deep where the rows are to be, having
one side nearly perpendicular, and the
other in any forrn Place the cuttings
against the perpendicular side of the
trench, about four inches apart, press
them into the ground slightly so as to
be sure of having the bottoms firmly
against the soil, and then fill in the
trench, taking care to press the earth
firmly against the cuttings After
planting, if there is any danger from
droutl, the ground should be mulched.
The cuttings are usually left in these
nursery rows for two years, but may be
transplanted at the end of the first year

DANDELI0N GREENS.

When the leaves of young dandel
ions are three or four inches long, cut
up the roots, just below their junction
with the leaves. This is the way they
are gathered for the New York market.
In dressing them take off all the de.
cayed, imperfect leaves, and cut the
roots close, leaving just enough to
hold the leaves. Then put into kit
tie, with about an equal quantity of
water, and boil briskly an hour or
more. When tender, let them drain in
a colander ten minutes, and serve
warm. Ifa seasoning is desired, stew
one-tourth the quantity of rhubarb
stems in as little water as possible, chop
up the cooked greens, and mix with the
stewed rhubarb ntimately-Erchange.
