!. General Crook being satisfied that the Red
Cloud and Red Leafs band of Sioux were
about to depart with a view of joining the
hostiles in the North, they having refused to
comply with orders to come into the agency
to receive r~ations, and stubbornly remaining
in their camp on Shadron Creek, from
whence tits positively known they were COM
municating with the Northern Indians, and
receiving into their camp such as came in,
he, without awaiting the arrival of General
Merritt's troops, determined on disarming
them, and, at daylight, on the morning Of
the 23d inst, General McKensey, with
eight companies of the Fourth Cavalry,
one battalion of which was commanded
by Major Gordon, and another by Captain
Maulk, successfully surrounded the two
bands, consisting of three hundred lodges,
and captured bucks, squaws, and ponies
without firing a shot, and they were
marched into the agency, after having
been disarmed and dismounted. Spotted
Tail, who has evinced an answering
loyalty to the whites, was made head chief,
and Red Cloud deposed, and Spotted Tail,
with Little Wound, have agreed to furnish
General Crook with all the warriors he may
need to cooperate with him in the coming
campaign, which will be i~naugurated al

MNCE MEAT.-Minee steak or roast
beef very fine; add cold water enough
to make a gravy. Let it heat through,
and when just at boiling point shake in
a little -four. Never allow it to boil up,
as boiling hardens the meat. Serve with
toast.
YEAsT.-Boil one large handful of
hops in two quarts of water from five to
ten minutes; have ready four raw pota-
toes, grated, one cup of sugar, four table
spoonfuls of flour, two tablespoonfuls of
alt, and strain the water from the hops
over them I; put into a pail and cook like
custards for a few minutes in a kettle OF
water /; when cool enough put in an yeast
cake, or a sufficient quantity of any
good yeast, and keep warm until well
raised.
To PREPARE CARAMEL OR BURNTSU
GAR FOR BROWNING GRAvY.-Carefully
heat loaf sugar over the fire
until it melts and is a rich
brown. During this process be
careful the heat is not too great, Or the
sugar will take fire, and the caramel con.
tract a bitter taste. When boiled a few
minutes add sufficient water to dissolve
the burnt sugar, and you have a rich
brown liquid, which strain through
coarse linen and bottle for use. One
spoonful will brown a large dish Of
gravy, as well enrich the taste.

UseTtII Information,

SALICYLIc acid has lately been rec
commended for preventing the decomposi-
ton of mucilage, which as generally pre-
pared undergoes rapid change, becomes
soul and ropy, and unfit for use. The
very slight solubility of salicylic acid in
water renders the use of it less objection-
able than would otherwise be the case.
Instead of using pure water, the gum is
dissolved in an equal weight of a previ-
ously' prepared aqueous solution of
salicylic acid; such a mucilage, ven af-
ter standing a month, shows no traces OF
decomposition.
THE Practical Magazine says that the
following is the simplest method of Civ
ing paper and wood surfaces a crystalline
coating: Mix a very concentrated cold
solution of salt and dextrine, and lay
the thinnest possible coating OF
the fluid on the surface to be covered by
means of a soft brush. After drying the
surface has a beautiful, bright mother-of-
pearl coating, which, in consequence Of
the dextrine, adheres firmly to the pa.
per and wood. The coating may be
made adhesive to glass by doing it over
with an alcoholic shellac solution. The
following salts are mentioned as
adapted to produce, the most
beautiful crystalline coating. viz. :

officer and his prisoner tthe latter manacledj
took a special compartment in the Brussels
train. On the arrival of the train at Brus-
sells both were missing. The compartment
they occupied was deluged with blood, and
bore marks of a terrific struggle. The body
of the officer was found beside the track
with his head aud face battered. All his
valuables were missing. 1t is coniectured
that Amblam watched an opportunity to at
tack the officer with his wrist irons and beat
him to death, after which he unlocked the
manacles and escaped.
The elections for the Prussian Chamber
of Deputies were held October 81. The
National Liberals have been successful in
1859 cases; the U~ltramontanes in 70; the
Progressists in Sc: the Poles in Is; the Par
ticularists in 5; various sections of the Con-
servatiYes in 81, and the Neutrals in 8. The
results in twenty-five districts have not yet
been communicated. AL the successful
candidates in Berlin are Progressists.
A telegram has been received, announcing
the return to Valencia of the British Arctic
Expedition, under Captain Mares, compris.
ing the steamer Alert and Discovery.
Progress to the North Pole was found i'm
practicable. Captain Mares reports no land
could be discovered to the n%orthward OF
the highest latitude reached, namely $50 90,

successful. The Alert proceeded to Queens.

The st. Louis Globe Democrats Little Rock
special says that three Methodist ministers,
while riding a circuit, in Pope County, Ar.
kansas, were shot from the brush, the other
morning, by two illicit distillers named
Hughes and Hale. 1t is believed that Hughes
and Hale mistook them for revenue offices
and Marshals coming to arrest them, as war
rants are now out for their arrest for illicit
distilling. One of the ministers was mortally
wounded, and died two hours after being
shot. The other two were seriously, if no
fatally wounded. There are a large number
of Illicit distillers in that part of the State
and six Of these parties have been convicted
during the late sitting of the United State
Court of the Distict.

The shado,u of In Ass.

The Greeks had a proverb which ran
thus: 4To dispute on the shadow Of an
ass" This took rise from an anecdote
which Demosthenes is said to have re-
lated to the Athenians, to excite their
attention during his defense of a crimi-
inal, which was being but inattentively
listened to. ga traveller" he said,
"once went from Athens to Megara on
a hired ass. 1t happened to be the time
of the dog-days and at noon. He was
exposed to the unmitigated heat of the
sun; and not finding so much as a bush
under which to take shelter, he bethought
himself to descend from the ass and seat
himself under its shadow. The owner
of the donkey, who accompanied him,
objected to this, declaring to him that
when he let the animal his shadow was
not included in the bargain. The dis,
pute at last grew so warm that it got to
blows. and finally gave rise to an action
at law" After having said so much,
Demosthenes continued the defense OF
his client; but the auditors, whose curl.
osity he had piqued, were extremely
anxious to know the judges decision Oh
so singular a case. Upon this, the orator
commented severely on their childish
injustice in devouring with attention g
childish story about an ASS shadow
while they turned a deaf ear to a cause
in which the life of a human being wa.
involved. From that day, when a mar
showed a preference for discussing small
and contemplate subjects to great anG
important ones, he was said " to dispute
on the shadow of an ass"

A Proclamation by the President of
the UnLted states.


WASHINGTON, October "a.
From year to year we have been accus-
toned to. pause in our daily pursuits, and
set apart a time to offer thanks to Almighty
God for the special blessings He has vouch-
safed to us, with our prayers for a continu-
ance thereof. We have at this time equal
reason to be thankful for His continued pro-
lection, and for many national blessings
which His bounty has bestowed. In addi-
ton to these favors accorded to us as indi-
vidusls, we have especial occasion to ex-
press our hearty thanks to Almighty God,
that by His providence and guidance our
Government, established a century ago, has
been enabled to fulfill the purpose of its
founders, in offering an asylum to people of
every race, securing civil and religious
liberty to all within its borders, and melting
out to every individual, alike, Justice and
equality before the law. 1t is, moreover,
especially our duty to offer our humble
prayers to the Father Of all Mercies, for q
continuance of His divine favor to us as q
nation and as individuals.
By reason of all these considerations, ],
Ulysses s. Grant, President of the United
States, do recommend to the people of the
United States to devote the 30th day of No

and prayers to Almighty God, and laying

occupations, and to assemble in their re

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

PROFIT IN CHEAP Cows.-A cor
respondent writes to the Rural NeD
Yorker: Ny last venture in cheap COWS
has convinced me that while there may
be larger profit in the better class of
COWS, the cheap cow, under certain cirs
cumstances, is very profitable. If care
full housekeepers could appreciate this
fact, more COWS would be kept among
the se-called "medium classes" Last
fall / was compelled to buy a COW to sup
ply our table with milk, and not wishing
to put more capital in stock than was
necessary purchased what was called a
poor cow, and vas heartily laughed at
by all hands. She cost me tbirty-five
dollars. Her milk was too poor for but
ter, but / expected to fatten her in the
spring, and wanted her for temporary
purposes only. The circumstances that
compelled me to buy also forced me to
keep her into summer. l have had her
lust a year. 1 have kept an accurate ae-
count with her, and as she was kept and
fed by herself in a yard 1 know exactly
what return I have bad for my outlay.
We have on several occasions made cred.
liable butter from her cream. She is a
heavy feeder, and always had as much as
she would eat to keep her in good condi'
ton, for 1 think hat by this means
much is saved in time, as well as ex'
pense, in afterward fattening. Here ii
the account:

A BLACK HILLS Incident.

He was coming down Main street the
other day with a revolver in each boot
leg and just a little top-heavy, when a
man happened to rub against him in
passing. Our bloodthirsty hero of the
boots jumped. off the sidewalk, and,
fourishing a pistol aloft, yelled: "Now
look yer, everybody in this yer gulch
look at me and crawl Pm Wild Cat Tip,
from Bear Gulch. 1 didn't come to
Deadwood to be insulted, so git out here
a half dozen of yer sons O guns, and
form a line of battle, cause l can't hold
on to this yer hammer much longer; so
trot 'em out" About this time some
n in the crowd fired a pistol in the air,
and simultaneously a rotten egg struck
clip" between the eyes. Dropping the
revolver, and throwing both hands In the
air, he yelled "I'm murdered" and fell
heavily to the ground. After he realized
just what had happened he Strengthened
up, and looking around, exclaimed, while
he wiped the decomposed egg from his
face, CHOW, boys, that's a rough joke,
but I'll stand it! Ill take it all, only let
me see the caliber of the gun what shoots
eggs" Not gaining the desired informa.
ton he silently stole away.

This certainly is a good percentage on
the investment. But this is not all. l
have credited her with five quarts of
milk daily. This is only what l should
have to buy to supply the table, and
therefore the only credit she should have,
unless the extra milk was sold or used.
We consumed it all. Her yield (being
farrow) has averaged over eight quarts
for the entire year. These three extra
quarts, made into pies, p~uddings, GUS
tards, cheese, ETC., will make 1,095 quarts,
which at seven cents Git is generally
eight cents here) amounts to $76 60,
which, added to the S6S.75 profit above,
will give a grand total of $145.40 as the
profit realized in n year from my thir-
ty-fve-doIlar cow. This, of course, is
when all the milk is used to advantage,
but does it not prove that cheap COWS are
proftable7 The value 1 have put on
the manure is what l have been offered
for it.
The ASPARAGUS BEETLE.-C. w.
Quin, writing to the London Garden,
says of the asparagus beetle (Crioceis as
paragi): when the beetle first appears
it may be controlled, but if allowed to
become established the task is hopeless
Of course we do not know how tena,
ciously this insect may cling to life il
England, but MI. GUMS remarks would
not be applicable to America. With oul
twenty years experience in fighting thi'
insect we are far from believing the tasl
of controlling it is hopeless. 1t is read
lily kept in check by busting the plant
with freshly-slaked lime, when wet will
dew or rain. Whenever the beetles be
come so numerous as to iniure the ap
pearance of the plants, one or two dust
ings of lime will generally suffice for tn
season. The application of the linn
should always be made when the slug
Qarve) are most abundant, for tn
beetles are too nimble to be caught il
this manner. The principal difficulty il
the way of fighting such insect pests i
that the gardener is ready to retreat be
fore the onslaught upon Them is made
being sure in advance that it aOont do an,
good. There is little use of going int
battle without having faith that you wi
win it.
