A Costly INDIAN PoL1cY.-The total
expenditure for the support of the In
dams during the six yealspreceding the
war was s21 1919, 29S. The total ex-
penditure for the first six years of the
present administration, during which
the Indians were fewer in number, was
SAC, 1926, 488. The annual average be-
fore the war was 1868, PIG; the an
nual average under Grant is $780,
914. The annual excess under Grant
is SO, 257 ,697; the total excess for six
years under Grant is SO, SAC, 1S9, OF
nearly the whole sum expended in the
support Of the Indians in the six years
before the war. In the first year of
Grants administration, the expenses
were only S3,400, 938, but little less
than the average of the six years before
the war; but in the following year the
expenses leaped up to 81 ,426, 997, and
have since held substantially that fig
ure. The expenses of last year were
the greatest of all, being 1884 ,656,
more than the entire State taxes of the
State of New York.

this Territory few months ago, in
which he expresses the opinion that

While the location has not yet been de-

The Know NOTHING !Sp1R1p REVIVED.
The bitter and relentless war made
upon Mr.. Judson by the Olympian, un-
der the control of it's two orthodox
minister editors, is in strict accord with
the leading spirit of the national cam
paign. Hayes has accepted the nomi-
nation of the American Alliance, which is
founded precisely upon the principles
of the old Know Nothing Party-an
utter disregard of all the political
rights of foreign-born citizens. When
candidate for Governor of Ohio he
said, 81 am in favor of DISTINGUISHING
them (Catholics) peaceably if possible;
if not, then with the bayonet." This
infamous doctrine is a disgrace to the
enlightment and progress of the age.
Voters, beware of it! Let no narrow
minded begotry control your choice.
Religious intolerance is prescription in
it's worst form.

Is NOT THIS SUFFICIENT ?-Every doubt
of Mr.. Tilden's position as true Union
man is dissipated by the following
manly sentiments enunciated under
date of Oct. 25th: Should I be
elected President, the provisions of the
18th amendment will, so far as depends
on me, be maintained, executed and en-
forced in perfect and absolute good
faith. No rebel claims will be assumed
or paid; no claims for loss or emanci-
patton of any slave will be allowed; no
claim for any loss or damage incurred
by disloyal persons from the late war,
whether covered by the 18th amend
ment or not; Will be recognized or
paid; the cotton tax will not be re-
funded. I shall deem it my duty to
veto every bill providing forthe assum-
ton or payment of any such debts,
losses, damages OF claims, orrefunding
any such debt

THE JUDICIARY CANDIDATES.

On Thursday evening, Hon. Columbia
Lancaster and Mr.. Bloomfield, candid
ate for Prosecuting Attorney of this dis
trict, addressed large audience in Co
lumbia Hall The latter was attended
by Gov. Ferry: who acted as chaperon
for the occasion and waited upon the
youthful aspirant in his maiden effort,
with that dignity, grace and courtly
bearing for which he is SO peculiar.
Mr.. Bloomfield led off in a rehash of
stale Republican speeches and campaign
documents. The seasoning cons sted
of few old jokes, but as they did not
possess an affinity for the other in
gradients of the dry compound, it ap-
peared exceedingly insipid to those
whose appetites were not sharpened for
the occasion.
The young man poses gracefully, has
cultivated the smile of da,,seuse, and
possesses the gush and sentimental af-
fectation incident to early years. He
would doubtless make splendid dry
goods clerk, or might figure acceptably
as Modern Belle at a masquerade
ball, but the popular impression ap-
peared to be that he is not one whose
appearance in the courtroom is cal
culated to excite fear or dismay in the
breast of the hardened malefactor.
Judge Lancaster, in brief and point
ed, yet courteous speech, reviewed the
effort of his youthful opponent. AS
an intellectual bout it was as equally
matched as contest between a giant
and pigmy: When the Judge closed
and Mr.. Bloomfield again took the
stand, three-fou1ths of the audience al
once left the hall, and when he finished
his speech, the room was we'll nigh de.
serted. There can be but little doubt
who will receive the popular vote fo,
Prosecuting Attorney of the Second
Judicial District.

The French Wheat Crop.

A Paris journal, the Echo Agricole,
has been collecting statistics from all
parts of France as to the yield of wheat
the present year, with the following
result, which is prefaced by particu-
lars made up from about $500 points !:
Out of 10 departments there are IL
where the present yield is superior to
that Of last year, 10 where it is equally
good, 25 where it is variable that is
to say, better at some points and
worse at others-and IS where it is
uniformly inferior the remainder
were mute on this point. As to quail
ity, the yield of 1875 is absolutely su-
perior to that of 1875, and the harvest
took place under perfectly favorable
conditions.
The entire area in wheat is COM
puted at l6, 3S3,5lO acres, and the yield
at 256, 1925, $50 bushels-equal to an av-
erage approximating 1e bushels per
acre.

AGRICULTURAL.
The Dog Nuisance.

A recent case in Scotland is worthy
OF notice here. A dog which had wor-
ried a number Of lambs, was ordered
by the judge of Scotch court to be
destroyed. The Judge remarked that
it was not necessary under Scotch law
for dog to prove itself to be danger.
Gus by committing injury; the fact
that it was at large and not under pro-
per control was sufficient to subject it's
owner to prosecution. He hoped the
public would cooperate with the au-
thorities in suppressing what had be-
come an intolerable nuisance. It would
be matter for congratulation if we
could hear an American Judge utter
similar remarks, for the same dog
nuisance has long since become intol-
cradle in various parts of this country.

Chinese Big Trees.

China has its big trees as we'll as
California. About 80 miles from Mix
ko, an avenue of sugi, or cedar trees
begins, and, with an occasional break
where there is village, it reaches the
whole distance to the shrine of Lycias
the longest avenue of trees in the
world. The great trees are from five
to seven feet in diameter at the base,
and tower without branch for SO or
so feet, and then lift their heads 40 or
so feet higher. They resemble the
giants of the Yosemite. The TRUNKS
are faultlessly straight and the bark is
deeply veined. There are about SO, 900
trees on this avenue, and all of them
were planted after the foundation of
the shrine, about ESQ years ago.

Hints for Farmers.

Horses.-Pasture has lost it's value
now, and the nights are too cold for
horses to be kept out of the stable.
Colts should have pint of oats daily.
and be halter broken. Their education
should be begun now, and the first
thing to be done is to accustom them
to handling, brushing, and restraint.
Patience and kindness with colt
will go far to form good disposition
in the future horse.
Rubbish.-Mriads of insects and
spores of mold and Injurious fungi
gather in the rubbish of the farm.
Burn every thing of this kind. Potato
tops harbor the spores of the potato
disease straw, corn.fodder and stubs,
harbor chinch bugs; chips, bark,
weeds, and all such waste, furnish
hiding places for grubs, beetles, etc.
AS preventive measures none are
more effective than general neatness
and cleanliness everywhere about the
farm.
Sundry Matters.-A safe lantern
should be procured for the stable and
barn. If kerosene oil is used, only
those kind that are known to be safe
should be purchased. The small extra
cost is nothing as compared with
safety from accident. No farmer can
afford to go uninsured. Choose well
known, safe company in which to
insure. Painting can be done better
and cheaper now than at any other
time; there. are no dust nor flies to spoil
the paint. Leaves should be gathered
for bedding there is nothing safer in
the brood sow's pen. Stones and
stumps may be cleared off, cellars
banked up, cleaned, and whitewashed,
and every tool ard implement cleaned
and slowed away.

The yolks Of twelve eggs, one quart
milk, one pound Of sugar, and a vanil-
la bean. Make this into arich custard;
at the same time dissolve half a box of
Cox's gelatine (3-4 of an ounce)in tin

on the back part of the range; pour it
into the custard and mix we'll. Whip
two quarts Of rich cream to a stiff
froth, and stir it into the custard when
it is cool, but before it gets stiff. Put
into a glass bowl, place lady fingers
around the edge, like a picket fence,
and set aside to cool.
You can make palmer custard for

yolks and white, to a quart of milk.
Let the milk come to the boil. Beat
the eggs together until very light, and
then pour the milk over them, and
then pour both back again sweeten to
the taste. Boil slowly, stirring all the
time until it thickens; strain through
a fine colander and flavor.

Protect the Strawberry Beds. 49,
It being beyond the power of the
horticulturist, in most cases, to pro.
tect the orchards from the hard freez-
ing of winter, and thus to protect the
fruit buds, it stands the lover of fruits
in hand to protect the small fruits as
far as possible. The strawberry is one
IF the most desirable of fruits, for it
is almost certain crop with proper
care. Cover the bed with thin coat
ing Of light mulch-such as rotten
straw which has become dry-then
cover with marsh hay or clean straw.
A light coat is better than too much,
as the vines may be smothered by the
heavy coating. After the danger of
frost is over in the spring, rake off the
coarser material leaving the finer as a
mulch during the growing season.
Great damage is often done by drouth
about the time the berries ripen, and
it is of as much Importance to protect
the plants from this as from the freez.
ing weather of winter. If the mulch
is put on in the fall, it will prevent
the ground from being beaten down
and put in condition to bake when the
frost is going out in the spring. There
is nothing that will pay better for the
time required than the strawberry-bed,
and the only wonder is that farmers
do not more generally avail themselv es
of the advantages of a small patch.

who do more to control and shape the

tire six millions of farmers. Rather
hard on the farmers What nonentjtirs

Is there no hope that the influence and
power OF that great class, composing
half our population, will ever be felt?
Must those who make our laws and hold
our highest offices of honor and trust.
