A Useless Baby.
Austinl yNevada, Reveille.

A couple of days ago a squaw died out
nj Yankee Blade, and the Indians buried
her and her infant together, without
taking any trouble Of making corpse OF
the latter 1t is a custom of the Piutes
and Shoshones to bury the dead mother
and living child together when the latter
is too young to help itself. In this in
stance they dug a hole, threw the woman
into it, and laid the infant on her breast,
covering them over with brush. In eX-
PLANTATION of their conduct one OF them
said: "Baby no good; no got milk
bimeby heap cry die pooty soon any
how" 1t would be an impossibility TO
convince an Indian that he IS dong
wrong by thus abandoning a helpless
infant as prey to the coyotes and car
ron birds; it was the custom OF his
fathers, and he can see no wrong IN IL.
A white man does not like to interfere
in such case, for TO try and rear the
child would be hopeless task, ana no
white man would feel justified IN dash
ing its brains out with stone Besides,
the Indians would feel greatly aggrieyed
at any interference with this pleasant
usage of theirs.

The Crops.

Crops prospects in almost every section
appear to be looking as favorably as
could possibly be wished, though we
notice throughout the southwest there
is more or less complaint of lack of
rain. Corn and cotton are both suffer-
ing from this cause, particularly in
Texas. In some portions of that state
we also observe the inevitable chinch
bug has made its appearance. The
farmers, however, are in the habit of
making altogether too much of this mis-.
chievous little insect, and the public
have learned by this time not to esti-
mate too highly its anticipatory powers
of destruction. From the northwest we
have no information that is not favora-
bic, If we except some reports from
northern Illinois and Iowa, where it is
said but little small grain is in sight as
yet. In the middle states the preva-
lence of unreasonable cold weather is a
drawback; so far, however, it has not
been attended with any very serious
result.-N Y. journal of Commerce.

THE RIcHEsT MAN IN GERMANY.
Who is the richest man in Germany
Most persons would say in replyCIsolhs-
child. or some long-descended Gefnaau
baron In both cases the searcher for
truth would be wrong. The richest
man in Prussia is neither banker nor
noble, but plain Krupp, the maker of
cannons. Krupp,. the gunmaker' pays
more income tax than any man in Prus-
sia. He pays nearly 10000 marks,
which represents yearly scale of profits
exceeding 5000, 900 marks, or about ST.,
$50. 900. 1t Is true that it is whispered
in non-official circles that Krupp, the
gunsmith, has a partner who shares his
gains and likewise contributes his quota
toward the payment of income tax. This
mysterious individual is known unto
men as the German government, imper-
sonated by prince Bismark and the
emperor William. The rich man may,
therefore, not be as wealthy as he aP-
| pears to be,
