WHY wasn't it thought of to EN-.
ploy carrier pigeons in the Indian
war? With Bozeman, Bismark and
Cheyenne for home stations, the off
cial account of contests might certain
ly be published in Montana and New
York in two or three hours after a
battle instead of awaiting the uncer.
tain arrival of couriers as many days
after battle. Why don't the New
York Herald or the government estab-
lish carrier pigeon express at once?

VIsITING.-Dick Smith and O. L. Scott
came over the first of the week from
Eureka on q visit to their old friends
here. who, on their arrival, were quite
glad to see them and treated them in the
best possible manner. These smooth
Eph's soon began to get their work in,
however. and during their short stay
succeeded in packing off t~hirty-two of
Sam Woodin's best linen shirts, and all
his underwear; also, the best part of
Marcus Shultz's wardrobe, he being
asleep at the time it was taken. In fact,
there was nothing that came within reach
of their hands that was not confscated.
AS soon IS it was discovered that these
gents were on it, their private buggy was
ordered out and they we're given one hour
in which to get out of Hamilton, with
instructions not to return until warmer
weather.
PHRENoLoGY.-Prof. Smith, the Eureka
Sentinel's "dead beat" put in an appear
ance here the first of the present week.
After sparring around for a day or two,
telling people how much he knew, sue
ceeded in capturing a few soft heads for
examination, and got his dollar in each
case. After running his credit to its full
extent, which was rather limited here,
he said he was going to Treasure Hill to
lecture, but instead of doing SO, we next
hear of him out on the Phoebe road, if
teen miles from any human habitation,
putting in his best ticks to make the next
station.
FROM CALIFoRNIA.-J. r. Wilmington,
a White River granger. arrived last Tues
day night from San Francisco, where he

count of the business outlook of our sis
ter State. Mr.. w. left the same evening
for his home, to look after his focks and

A letter was received here q few days
ago from Major Henry, who was then in
New York city. stating that he had sue
ceeded in forming his tunnel company,
and that a Burleigh drill had been pur-
chased and would arrive here in about 80
days. Our readers will remember that
Immediately after the departure of Major
Henry for the East we published an arti-
Gle stating that it was his intention to
run a tunnel through Treasure Hill, and
it now looks like he has made the neces-
sary arrangements in the East for carry
ing out his original plans. We hope it
may all prove true. for in the tunneling
of Treasure Hill depends much the future
prosperity OF Hamilton and it's surround
ings. We copy the following from an
article we published some time ago, set
ting forth the plan Of operations and the
benefits to be derived therefrom
"At length we have the promise of
having the hidden treasures of Treasure
Hill exposed to view. Major Henry.
with the eye Of any engineer. conscious
of the great profit resulting from the sue
cessful carrying out of the indicated en-
terprise has, after the needful surveys,
located a 3,000-foot tunnel that, when
carried out, will underrun the mountain
crest some 1000 feet, and will perfectly
expose the three formations that compose
it. These rocks are all metalliferous, of
the silurian age. with their character
fully d~evelopedto the depth of 2.1O0 feet,
in this and cognated districts. First, lime
stone /; second, q shaley slate; and finally
a quartzite, the home Of fertile ores in
Phoebe and Cherry Creek. that may ex-
tend far beyond the 100 feet at which
it has been recognized. The large
amounts of treasure obtained by superb
cial working are q reliable index of the
vast wealth to be derived from exploita-
ton, and it is more that ~-presumptive that
Major Henry and his friends, though
with no other franchise than that bestowed
by general law. will in both profit and
honor outvie Sutro and his far-famed and
much contested works. The projected
tunnel will traverse comparatively virgin
ground, concurrently with east and west
lodes of known wealth, and will currently
cut at right angles a number of north
and south veins at a profound depth.
The Aurora lode, the most conspicuous
of this class, will be intercepted at about
1900 feet in depth, in the quartzite
country, and this. with Capt. brakes in
cline, now down over 600 feet, will be q
complete illustration of this remarkable
lode. Within a year, at an unimportant
cost. and independent of the season,
with the appliance Of a Burleigh drill,
this work can be consummated to the
great profit of its operators. and it is
highly probable that intermediately the
current expenses will be betrayed or ma
terially lessened by the extrication of ores
from the constantly recurring veins.
Major Henry's success in organizing an
effective company would be welcomed
by our community, that would individu-
ally or collectively warrant its future"

The Farmers Troubles.

Mr.. HARRIS, in his "Walks and Talks
in the December Agricultural, says:
Half our troubles are imaginary. The
remedy for these is hope; and the remedy
for the other half Is work. Work will
give us hope, and hope makes labor easy.
What will not little extra work do for
our comfort, and the comfort of our fami-
lies? Oue-half hours extra wOIk day
would make all the difference between a
dispirited household and home of CON-
fort. Let poor, discouraged man try it.
BroOding over our troubles does no good.
1t will pay no debts Work will make
creditor wait. And let me say right here,
that do not think farmers, as class, or
their families, are given to extravaganza
in dress or in their style Of living. Just
now the tendency is all the other way.
They are spending less than usual. And
it is a capital time to make improvements.
In periods of genera. depression like the
present some people seem to think that
the world is coming to an end. Be that
as it may it is wise in us to continue
blowing and sowing. 1t is great thing
to feed and clothe the world. We have
had good breakfast, and shall soon want
a good dinner, and will not want to 60 to
bed without supper, and tomorrow we
shall want another breakfast, dinner and
supper, and so on during all the days of
the week, and the month, and the year.
There are 1851 days in the year. Sup
pose we should forget that one-quarter of
day, and the world on the LIST Of January
next should wake up and find no break
fast. There would be fine rumpus when
the world found that it had to wait six
hours for dinner on an empty stomach.
Why, then, need farmer fears His pro-
ducts will never go out of fashion. Bread,
milk, butter, cheese, beef, mutton, pork,
poultry, eggs, fruit and potatoes will be
wanted every day until the end Of time.
And it is our duty and our interest to see
that the world does not come to an end
for the want of food.

The seven States of Florida, Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon
and Wisconsin have also taken censuses
this year, and with results only partially
known to us. We estimate the increase Of
population in them at 685, 900. The total
increase in fifteen States would thus be
little over 2,OOO, 600 since the general cen
sus Of 1870. The fifteen States named
had in 1870 little more than one-third
the population Of the United States. If
we assume common average progress in
all, the increase in all should, at this
time, be upward of 5000, 900, swelling
the population of the United States to A,
Co., 900.
The figures above given for the eight
States have been definitely ascertained
and announced since the Superintendent
of the United States Census Bureau pre-
pared his last annual report to Congress.
The Superintendent, in that report, took
a gloomy view of the comparatively
small results to be derived from the antic-
ipated State census of 1875" and erred,
we think, in expressing the opinion that
enough is already known to indicate
quite clearly that the progress of our popu-
lation has received q temporary check. !"
The figures do not show it.-Brooklyn

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

The oleander, in order to insure win
ter bloom, requires very high tempera-
ture.
Nice Baked Pudding. -One quart of
milk, six eggs, quarter of a pound of
seeded raisins, quarter of a pound of
currants. Sugar to taste. Beat the eggs
and add them to the milk, with the fruit.
Pour it in pudding dish, cover the top
with slices of bread, we'll buttered. First
dip the bread in the milk so that itmay be
brown when it is baked. 1t is generally
eaten cold. 1t may be favored with lemon
or vanilla.
The grand objection made to the
beautiful silver jewelry that has been in
use during the last few years was its tar
nishing so soon. 1t looks like white
frost-work when new, but directly becomes
dull and leaden in hue, nor will scrubbing
or rubbing with any ordinary composition
bring back its beauty. BY very simple
process it can be restored in few min
utes. Place a rod or some filings of zinc
in vial containing strong spirits of am
monia, and let it stand for few days;
then by immersing the articles therein
and drying them before fire they will
become bright and clean.-Harper's b.
ear.
To Train Fuchsias.-When slip
has grown six or eight inches high, nip
out the top down to the last set of leaves;
it will then throw out branches on each
side. Let these grow eight or ten inches
then nip them out as BEFORE the tops of
each branch, when grown the same height
as the others, nip out again. Then pro-
cure stick the size of your finger,
eighteen inches in length, take a hoop
skirt wire, Irvine back and forth alter
nately, through holes made in the stick
equal distances apart; place this firmly in
the pot back of the plant, tie the branches
to it and you will have, when in flower, a
beautiful and very graceful plant.
Ask your druggist, or some reliable
person who deals in burning fluid, for
rose-oil. This is worth twenty cents a
gallon, ana a pint will clean several
pairs of gloves. Having collected all the
gloves you wish to clean, take an earthern
dish-a common wash bowl is perhaps
the most convenient utensil for this pur-
pose-and pour into it about half a pint of
clear rose -oil; take kid glove and throw
it in, then wash it precisely as you would
piece of muslin or lace, paying very
particular attention to the tinger-tips,
which are usually most soiled of all the
glove; tueu UP IL up anu uOWH lew
times, squeezing out the fluid each time.
You will be amazed to see how black and
dirty the oil gets from pair of tolerably
clean gloves. Lay aside the one glove
and treat its mate precisely tie same way;
then rinse both in some fresh rose-oii in
separate bowl, after which draw on its
proper hand and fasten it; then with a
clean piece of white flannel rub it all over
till it looks dry, which it will do in a
very short space of time, after which its
mate must be treated similarly.--Cor

How to Make Farming Attractive

Much has been said and written of late
about boys leaving the farm and seeking
employment elsewhere, which does not,
upon the whole, speak we'll for the pros
perity Of American agriculture. 1t is
certainly true that our young men become
less inclined to stick to the farm in pro-
portion as more profitable and more con-
genial fields of labor are opened to them,
but this only proves that farming, as a
profession, is either sinking below or has
not been brought up to standard that
NEE the wants and tastes of intelligent,
industrious young men OF the present day.
In other words, if farming is not sufficient
lN attractive to create love for it in those
who know it best from close acquaintance,
there must be something radically wrong
within, and the remedy, if ever found,
will have to come from the same source.
If those following other callings Cypress
the farmer, as is so frequently asserted, it
is simply because he has been negligent in
learning as well as in asserting his rights.
If the farm is less attractive field of
labor than the counting the law
office or the medical school, it must be
owing to the failure Of the agriculturist
to make it SO.
As rule, the opportunities for making
great fortunes are not as numerous in
agriculture as in more speculative call
ings, but the chances of total failures are
also very considerably less; consequent
ly balance might be struck between the
two without any great loss to either
party. Only about ten men out of every
hundred who commence business in our
cities succeed, and the ninety are obliged
to accept some mental position, where
they barely exc out a miserable existence
by daily toll. Poor as farming may be
as business, it cannot show SO large q
proportion of utter failures as the learned
professions, which appear to have so great
an attraction tor farmers sons at the pres
ent day.
1t is usually asserted by writer's on this
subject that our young men leave the
farm because the chances of making
money are better in other callings; but
we do not believe this is the true reason,
because, to admit it, would be to attribute
t. our farme rs' SONS sordid motives which
few of them possess. But from an ex-
tended personal observation we have come
to the conclusion that young men seek
cities and villages more for the knowledge
they can obtain there than from any other
motive It is certainly not to get rid Of
labor, for the successful city man gener-
ally works greater number OF hours per
day than the farmer; and It Is doubtful II
the kind Of labor Is any the less exhaust.

with board and clothing, until spring.
She boarded with Alfred Hahn for week,

of the bad order in which the house was

boarding house. While at Hahn's there
was suspicion that she was a woman.
She was detained and taken to the First

had an examination before Recorder Par

promise to resume her proper attire and
to leave the city. She says she likes the

A PHYSICIAN of New York complains to
Mr.. Bergh that surgeon Of medical
school there presented to class poor
dog for vivisection, which had been
starved for several days for the purpose of
showing that under such circumstances
glucose is secreted in the liver and other
vitals. The inhuman doctor inserted his
knife in the dogs neck and abdomen,
tearing out its liver, etc. No an@sthetic
was given the dog, and its actions and
means were so pitiable and childlike that
one of the students tainted away. No
glucose was found, and if it had it would
have been of no use to medicine or any
science bearing on the healing art.

A CURIOUS story of unjust justice comes
from Florence. An English resident of
that city was visited by fellow-member
of his club, an Italian, who asked him to
pay him that 5000 lire" The English
man owed him nothing, and told him SO.
He promptly brought suit for the fictitious
debt. The defendant, :hunderstruck, con-
suited friend, who told him 10 leave the
whole matter in the hands Of certain
lawyer. He did so. When the trial came
off three witnesses swore that they had
seen the money lent to the defendant. The
latter was appalled, to hear his counsel say {:
"We admit the debt" and was pleasantly
stunned when six witnesses promptly
swore that they had seen the money re-
paid. Verdict for the defendant. This
peculiar case throws a strong light on the
Italian judicial system, though false
swearing is, unfortunately, by no means
confined to transatlantic courts.
