we last week stated that meetings had
been held in the various districts in In
diana, in which the sentiment was de-
clared that Tilden having been elected
he must be inaugurated-peaceably if
possible, but forcibly if necessary. This
language should have been attributed to
the members of the state central com

ceiyed to be the sentiments of their con-

reading of several meetings throughout
the state, and an interrupted reading o.

Bismark, Aug. 16.-The steamer

Medicine Cloud and his party be-
longing to Fort. Peck agency, whom
MAJOR Mit1nen, Indian agent at Fort
Peck, sent TO Sitting Bull with q mes
sage on May 9th, has returned to the
agency. The message sent by Major
Mitchell to Sitting Bull was to the
effect that he desired him to come
and visit Fort Peck, hoping such a step
would result in his retiring upon this
reservation and ceasing from hostilities
against the whites. Sitting Bull re-
piled July "a: 'sTell him 1 did not COM
mence; that l am getting old, and that
1 did not want to fight, but the whites
rush on me and / am compelled to de-
fend myself; that but for the soldiers
stationed on the Rosebud, 1 with my
people would have been there before;
that If was assured Of the protection
of the great father l would go to Fort
Peck for the purpose of making peace.
Il and other chiefs want the Black
Hills abandoned, and w viii make
peace"
Medicine Cloud numbers the hostiles
as consisting of Brules, Uncapapas,
Tetons, Minneconjous, 'S~arasacs, Ogal-
lalas, Cheyennes and Blackfeet-of the
latter but 30 lodges. He estimates the
hostiles as consisting Of from 5000 to
10000 fighting men, the Sarasacs and
Cheyennes being most numerous. There
no white men cooperating with
them They have plenty Of guns and
pistols. He thinks they get ammuni-
tion from a place called the sburning
grounds beyond the Black Hills.
They captured many horses during the
fight and but few mules. They watch
continually for the whites, not intend
ing to attack but to fight hard in their
own defense. They are living entirely
on meat which they find it very hard to
procure, owing to the close proximity
of the whites. The hostile camp is now
on Tongue river, south of the Yellow
stone, one and a half days ride The
Indians are in a constant state of alarm
and there is no sleep in their camp.

Concerning Siour Supplies.
An o1icer Of the Interior Department
to-day had an interview with Gen.
Sherman on the subject of the CON-
plains made public to the effect that
the hostile Sioux obtained supplies Of
arms and ammunition from Indian post
traders at the agencies or reservations.
Gen. Sherman was asked whether he
believed it was true that supplies were
obtained from the agencies. He re-
piled that he did not think it was true,
but added that the Indians no doubt
would be able to procure arms from
their traders as long as they had buffalo
robes and furs to sell. 1t is generally
understood that men not connected
with the agencies make a practice Of
selling arms to the Indians at various
points on the Upper Missouri and the
northwestern territories, in exchange
for furs, realizing by such trade enor-
nous profits, a the Indians are willing
to pay large prices for arms.

To-day the Turks attacked the outposts

attacked the Drina army yesterday near

New York, Aug. 18.4It is stated by
competent witnesses that ,Leary only
walked so miles in the late exhibition,
and some say only 22O. The first witness
is Frank Clark, who came from Chica-
go with O'Leary, and who had laid out
the track for him at the rink. Clark
says that after the feat he measured the
track and found it to be rs feet short.
As eight laps were counted q mile, this
made q difference Of AZ miles on the
whole 500, but he says that there were
other and greater frauds than this, as
instead of walking eight laps for a mile
the pedestrian was generally credited
with Q mile for every six or seven laps,

Schenck,s Sen Weed Tonic.

In the atmosphere experienced here during
the summer months, the lethargy produced by
the heat takes away the desire for wholesome
food, and frequent prespira tons reduce bodily
energy, particularly those suffering from the eff
fects of facilitating diseases. In order to keep
natural healthful activity Of the system, we
must resort to artificial means. For this purpose
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual A
few doses will create an appetite and give fresh
ugor to the enervated body. For dyspepsia, it
is invaluable. Many eminent physicians have
doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanently
cured by the drugs which are generally employed
for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in It's ma
ture is totally different from such drugs. 1t con-
tains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact it
assists the regular operations OF nature, and sup
plies her deficiencies. The tonic in it's nature
SO much resembles the gastric juice that it is
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric
juice is the natural solvent which, in healthy
condition of the body, causes the food to be di-
gested; and when this Juice is not execreted in
sufficient quantities, Indigestion with all its dis
tressing symptoms, follows, The Sea Weed Tonic
performs the duty of the gastric juice when the
latter Is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
sold by all Druggists.

Feeding Meal &c. Ia

The author of ogden Farm Papers
writes:
During last winter we have used
corn meal for the first time as our
principal reliance as an addition to
hay. The hay was almost entirely of
home production and of much better
quality (average) than we used several
years ago. Only an average of two
quarts of corn meal per day was fed to
each COW. It's OBJECT on their condition
seemed favorable, and on their product
of butter decidedly good. The calves
produced were strong and up to this
time the experiment seemed quite sue
cessful, but In number of cases, where
we had hitherto had some difficulty
with the calves, owing to too great rich
ness Of the DAMS milk, this difficulty
has been increased, SO that we have had
more cases of 'sours " than usual, and
some of these have proved fatal. 1t is
not safe to draw positive deductions
from limited experiments, but we be-
heve,that in this regard, and this only,
corn-m eal has been disadvantage to
us. If we use this food again next win
ter, we shall withhold it entirely for a
month before calving time.

Custer on the Indian.

In his "14ife on the Palms." Custer
gives the estimate of the Indian in these
sentences: I'm studying the Indian
character, while shocked and disguised
by many of his traits and customs,
find much to be admired, and still more
of deep and unyarying interest. Grant
that some of its pages are frightful, and
if possible to be avoided, yet the attrac-
ton is none the weaker. Study him,
fight him, civilize him if you can, he
still remains the object Of your curios-
ity, a type of man peculiar and unde-
fined, subjecting himself to no law of
civilization, contending determinedly
against all efforts to win him from his
chosed mode of life. He stands in the
group of races solitary and reserved,
seeking alliance with none, dis
trusting all. Civilization may do
much for him, but he can never be
civilized. Nature intended him for a
savage; every instinct, every impulse Of
his soul inclines to it. The white race
might fall into barbarous state, and
afterward he reclaimed and prosper.
Not so the Indian. He cannot be him
self and be civilized. He fades away
and dies. Cultivation such as the white
man has would kill him, by depriving
him of his Identity"

RURAL AND DOMESTIC.
Death to the Apple Tree Borer

A farmer correspondent of the New
York Tribune gives that journal his
method of Kidding his orchard of these
pests, as follows:
Ihave waited for long tine for
some one to invent an easy way of kill
ing the apple tree borer; but the chisel,
mallet, knife and wire only are recon-
mended, and in using them have had
to cut a six inch apple tree until could
see daylight through it, to kill single
borer. My way of getting at this
"Worm of the dust" is an easy one,
and more efectual. [ cut a sumac, or
elder, one foot more or less long, punch
out the pit.l, cut one end with slope,
hunt the borer's hole, clean it out at
the entrance with a wire, place the
beveled end of my tube against it, take
some putty-like clay that l get in our
spring branch, plaster it water tight
around the end next to the tree, fill
with very strong soap suds and the
thing is done. No matter how crooked
the hole is, or whether it goes up or
down, the suds in the tube will force
itself to the eni. have tried it two
years and have not failed once. Of
course, any kind of small, hollow tube
will do, anything that will make it
water tight will do to plaster it with.

Scurvy Leg on Fowls.

Scurvy Leg on Fowls.
Among the many remedies given for
this disease the following from the
Poultry Nation is probably as good as
any in use:
Remedies for this unsightly malady
are often given, but In answer to nu-
merous inquiries we give the treatment
we are at present using, when neces-
sary. It is simply to annoint the legs
and toes of affected fowls twice week
till cured with a mixture composed of
carbon oil, one gill; sulphur, one-half
ounce; stir well together, and add one
gill OF fish or lard Oil and thirty to for
ty drops of pure carbolc acid. Stir
well before using, and apply with a
brush or cloth, soaking it well In. Scaly
or scurvy leg is caused by minute in
sect that burrows in the skin under the
scales of the shank of fowls legs. The
insect is invisible, except under the
microscope, and is similar to the "sheep
scabo and fitch" parasite. The first
indication of the disease is slightly
roughened appearance of the inside of
the shank. near the hook joint. It de-
velops rapidly Eli the scales are entire
ly destroyed, and replaced by irregular,
enlarglng, warty excresences, encrust-
ing the whole shank from the hook tc
the toes. The application of our remedy
will kill the cause, and the crust viii
crumble away, leaving the leg smooth
but once destroyed, the natural scale
can never be restored. This disease i
infectious by contacs and innoculation
1t is not apt to spread among fowls
where their perches are often saturated
with carbon oil, or when under treat

The PEASANT BRIDE.

The sweetest maid in all Lorraine
Has won Lord Georges heart, s.
And noble lips repeat the strain,
Mine until death us part"
Like Burleigh's ancient lord he came
AdoWn the country side,
And chose, to share his wealth and fame,
A.gentle peasant bride.
And all the first moon of their love
They wander hand in hand,
Where sun and starlight shine above
Lord Georges fruitful land.
By silver streams they rest awhile
Whose breath the sunlight sips,
While laughing waves fling back the smile
That plays around their lips;
Ard field and lawn he leads her by,
And through his castle halls,
Where carvings gild the ceilings high,
Ano velvet Grapes the walls;
While softly asks the gentle bride,
Ii aught beneath the heavens dome
Can match the royal state and pride
That deck her welded home ?"
But he wondrous tale can tell
Of lands with fairer skies,
Where wilder rivers roar and swell,
And nobler castles rise.
He brings folio from the shelf,
And turns the pictured leaves;
His pencils magic shows itself,
And homage sweet receives;
For his wandering life has been
"Ah, how unlike her own |"
he shows her many pictured scene
Of worlds to her unknown.
Then on his gentle lady's cheek,
That bends so softly near,
No longer rose and lily speak,
But pallor born of fear.
oh Ic Il
skies,
Why should he come to her?
Were there no lovely woman eyes
That could his pulses stir ~
And wild with dread the sweet lips part,
If he again sh ould roam?n
All, needless fear! Lord Georges heart
Is anchored fast at home
