SITTING BULL AS AN ODD FELLOW
The grand lodge of Odd Fellows have
under consideration the admission OF the
Indians into the fellowship of their or
der. The noble red man has thus an-
other step to take on his sad mission to
the setting sun. He has been defraud-
ed of his lands, cheated out of his turs,
swindled by Indian rings, fed on rotten
beef, wrapped in rotten blankets, befud-
died with frontier whiskey, massacred
10y the pale faces, bored by long treaty
pow-wows, and preached to death by
wild missionaries, and in many other
ways his passage facilitated to the hap
py hunting grounds; and now the pale
faces are going to initiate him into the
order of Odd Fellows.
The Indians are trained from boyhood
to endure torture with fortitude, and we
have no doubt they will go through the
initiation creditably. Crazy Horse, who
can break mustang, will probably be
able to ride the goat and climb the grea-
sy pole feet foremost; and when it comes
to the branding part of the ceremony ne
will be perfectly at home. Sitting Bull
would, perhaps, be unable to live up to
the sedentary part of his name for few
DAYS, and Rain .in-the-Face would sizzle
a little If the rest of his person is as
moist as his visage; but we doubt not
that they would pass the fire ordeal sto-
ically.
After he has safely passed through
his regular initiation, Lo, the poor In
dian, in his regalia! We imagine that
wild Cheyenne or Arapaho in full odd
fellow rig will be a sight for gods aod
men. 1t may be that he will wear moth
inc but the regalia except few feathers
in his scalp lock and a thin coat ofpalnt
on the bridge of his nose. Aprocsssion
of such would be very imposing. But
we have decided fear that the noble
savage will not be prompt in the pay
ment of his dues. The proud son of
the forest hates dues. And when Grand
High Treasurer Joshua Vansant sends
around his little notices to Red Cloud,
Shaoknasty Jim and Young Man Afraid
Of His Horses to call around and settle,
they may refuse to see it in that light.
Then Grand High Treasurer the Hon
orable Joshua Vansant would be obliged
to put on his war paint and 60 out there
hold powwow and exhort them to re-
new allegiance to the order, and per-
haps he would be very lucky should he
escape being put through several new
degrees not known to the Odd Fellow
ship of the pale faces. He might 60
out there an Odd Fellow in high stand
ing and sadly return as an Improved
Order of Red Man.-BaA. Gazette.

proud, and did not desire to 60 back un-

ZIGZAG ARRANGEMENT.

The Zigzag arrangement, has recently
been adopted, will be put on only where
specially ordered, for which five dollars
will be charged in addition to the regu-
lar price.
The change can be made from zigzag
to straight line and vice versa, in mo-
ment, without even hoisting the shovels,
without removing bolt. 1t is simple in
its construction, and will not easily get
out of repair.
The entire machine is so well balanced
that the horses necks do not become gall
ed. This is accomplished oy the manner
in which the hopper is set upon the frame.

OVER BROADCAST SOWING

are so generally known by our farmers
as to the yield and saving of grain-that it
is hardly necessary to mention this point.
BY a recent invention, an Attachment
can be made at cost of about five dollars,
which will enable the driver to hoist the
shovels without stopping or getting off,
thus doing away with the extra hand usu-

in the market, and we invite farmers in
want Of Drill to call and satisfy them
selves on this point.
CORRUGATED RUBBER ROLLERS
which form forced feed, unequaled by
any in use, and which has now stood the
test of years.
The cOrrugation of fthese rollers has been
an Improvement over the first built, and
by means of slide and regulators the
flow of seed is constant ard regular.
There can be no choking, for the reason
that it is positive force feed, and all the
"white caps" straws, or any foreign sub
stance that should chance to be in the
wheat, is fed through without stoppagc.
In this way the ''skips," which are so
frequent in fields Of drilled wheat, are en-
tircly avoided, and there will be found
regularity in the grain over the field and
that, too, without the necessity of being
constantly watched to see ifthe feeding is
all right.
THE GUANO ATTACHMENT,
patented by j. B. Crowell, which is con-
ceded by practical farmers to be the best
yet introduced TO their notice.
The great difficulty encountered in SOW
ing some kinds Of guano is, that the agita-
ton of the mass in the hOppers renders it
sticky, and it will not, in consequence,
feed downward.
By the use of Crewell's Guano Attach
ment this is overcome, and as experience
has proven,
ALL KINDS OF FERTILIZERS
in use can be sown, without even mixing
with any substance to render it less sticky.
Its simplicity is one of its great point.
THE GRASS SEED SOWER
is attached to the rear of the hopper, and
has zinc bottom, which is perforated for
the grass seed to pass through. A light
wooden slide, with indentations cut
transversely, agitates the seed which
should be clean to sow with regularity.
The grass seeder can also be attached,
forward of the hopper, or if it is specially
ordered can be left off entirely, in which
latter case there is adeducJion of five dol
lars from the price list.
THE SURVEYOR
measures correctly the number of acre
sown, or parts AN acre down to sixteen
this. In making the turns at the end OF
the field, the holster puts the working
parts out of gear, and in consequence the
surveyor does not move in the least, and
can, therefore be relied upon to measure
correctly.

Grant was serving his first term,
Mosbv came to Washington and call
ed TO see Senator Lewis, who had the
entr6e of the White House, said TO
Mosby:
"Colouel, let us go up and call on
the President. am quite sure you
would be well received"
Thank YOU" was the reply, 81 have
no desire to see Gen. Grant. He is
undoubtedly prcjudiced against me
because Of my Independent style Of
fighting during the wHr; and, besides,
| want no favors from him or his ad-
ministration."
To make long story short. the
Senator finally prevailed on Mosby
to accompany him to the White House.
Their conference with the President
lasted over an hour AS they were
leaving the White House, a newspa-
per man who knew Mosby said to
him:
Colonel, you do not visit Wash
ington often"
"No, sir" was the reply, 81 bad o

morning for the first time since the
close Of the war"
And how did the President re-

/ VERY kindly, indeed" replied
Mosby. IL must say that | am greatly
pleased with Gen. Grant. In fact,
am very agreeabIy disappointed in
bin. We bad long aud very pleas

State went for Grant by some 5000

SiGce that time, it is safe 10 say tina
Mosby has had as much influence
with The President in the matter o
appointments as the most favored
Senator. Mosby no longer yields an.
influence in Virginia. The couserva
