The Treasurer OF the Charity Hospital
is at present engaged in distributing
pro rata among the creditors of that
institution about $4,000 in State war
rants OF the years 1874 and 1875 at the
rate OF seventy-five cents on the dollar.
This Is rather figure above the daily
quotations, but most or the creditors
are willing to take them rather than to
depend on the uncertainty of legislative
action. The Legislature twice made
the attempt to appropriate money for
the payment Of the old debts Of the
hospital. but through the courts, and at
the veto OF the Executive, were pre-
vented each time. The hope that the
Legislature will eventually give relief
Is growing more doubtful as time

surer profit than either horses or cattle.
The sheep ranges Of Western Texas are
unsurpassed. It is almost impossible for
any person who goes into the sheep bust
ness in Western Texas, with a little
capital, to keep from getting rich.
A great many OF the capitalists OF
Eastern Texas buy few thousand sheep
on the frontier when mesquit grass can
be had, and then give them in charge to
some party who personally attends to
them, who pays all the expenses and
takes halt the grose profits for his pay.
Mr. William Kelleher, Of Austin, a
prominent sheep raiser, informed me
that he made an annual profit Of from
thirty to forty per centum on the amount
invested.
To understand the enormous profits
made in sheep raising in this section it is
only necessary to state that one man can
take care Of and properly attend two
thousand sheep. Taking into consider
alton accidents, disease, etc. the sheep
double themselves every three years. No
feed is required during the winter ex-
cept the nlesquit grass so plentitully at
forded, and the genial and mild climate
preludes the necessity of housing during
the samefperiod. But while this coun-
try is marvellously adapted for grazing.
it is also fine agricultural country.

defeat, the massacres Of Chicago and De-
troit having been wrought on defenseless
prisoners. In 1885 came the Seminole
war. General Thompson, the commls-
sioncr, when the Indians refused to emil
CRATE, denying that they had signed the
treaty of Fort Gibson Understandings,
put Osceola in irons and provoked war
On the 2Sth of December Osceola killed

several others at that place, and the
same day, in the Wahoo swamp, tell on

the bodies were not found for long
time. Thus began war which cost
the United States 1,446 lives and s1O,-

The next great Indian war was pro-
voked by the massacre of some 800 In
dams, principally women and children,
November 70, 1854, at Fort Lyon, by
Colonel Chivington, after they had been
induced to 90 into camp in the vicinity
of the troops. The Indians had ven
geance for this in December, 1858. The
government had been constructing q
new road to Montana, which the Indians
claimed would drive the game out OF
their best hunting grounds; accordingly
they opposed its making and use vlgor-
ously. From July 26 to December p
they attacked every train that passed
over the road. and ffty-one times APP
peared in hostile array before Fort Phil.
kearny and killed five officers, ninety
one men and fifty eight citizens. De-
cember 9th they attacked wood train
two miles from the Fort. Col. Fetter~
man, with fifty men, sailed out and res
cued it. This gave the Indians the hint,
and on the 21st they planned similar at,
tack, preparing an ambush. Colonel
Fetterman. Captain Brown and Lieuten>
ant Grummond were sent out with nine
ty-one men, when the Indians, 5000
strong, fell GA them and destroyed them
Sixty-seven corpses were found in 9

A few days since several families Of
emigrants, travelling to Oregon by wag-
on, camped for the night near Point of
Rocks station on the Union Pacific,
mountain division. In the dusk of the
evening the children were playing at a
short distance from the wagons, when a
piercing scream, proceeding from the
bevy OF Juveniles, alarmed the camp,
and called the men 10 the rescue. They
were met by the affrighted youngsters,
who said that one of their number, a
two year old girl. had been carried off
by !, mountain lion. A diligent and ex-
citing search tor the child was kept until
midnight, but unsuccessfully. At dawn
Thursday morning the search was re-
sumed. The tracks of the beast were
traced a distance of five miles from
camp, when owing to rocks, they be-
came too indistinct to be followed further.
The search was continued the same.
however, and at l o'clock in the after
noon one OF the searching party found
the child on top of a huge upheaval Of
rocks, rising POO feet above the level of
the surrounding sand plain. The child,
nearly nenuded Of clothing, and with
several ugly-looking scratches about the
face and breast, was lying on its back,
perfectly quiet and its eyes doing under
the sunlight. With the exception of the
scratches, or claw marks, the little thing
was uniniured.

In its magnitude this is the most

TOULOUSE GEESE.

This variety is doubtless the largest
known. Men in general have an aversion
to geese, and we don't blame them eith>
er. for what could the little, noisy, vo-
racious, unruly common geese to be
considered en- farm but nuisanc e ,un-
less securely penned in some swampy
tieldo This natural aversion we were
not exempt from till we tried the mag
nificent Toulouse, and then it was
changed to liking for the geese. In
appearance, they are noble and digniAed,
and W i'll thrive without water to swim
in, if plenty be provided for drink. They
are never unruly and can be fenced as
easily as sheep; are very quiet not noisy.
and extremely hardy. They are good
layers, averaging about forty eggs each,
in season, and are seldom broody. Ii
the old stock is not kept fat, and after
spring opens only on pasture and veg
etables, without grain, every egg will
hatch.
The gos!ing are much stronger when
young than the common, and are more
easily raised than pig. We use hens
tor Matching, and in summer have placed
them on 4 fresh grass-plat, and reared
them without any mother. Their growth
| is so rapid that at tour weeks old they
will weigh from six to eight pounds
apiece. and at three months. from fifteen
to eie hteen pounds. AT four weeks old
they need no further housing, and car
be taken from the nursery and placed in
the open pasture to Craze and shift fol
themselves. provided they have theil
regular meals of soft food, which should
be continued till they are three or foul
months old. In France and England
Toulouse geese are priced for their great
size. excellent flesh, and abundant yielt
OF soft, fine feathers. OF which they viii
average hall a pound to the picking,
and would be profitable for this purpose
In the severest weather they require M
shelter, and we never feed mature bird
any grain when the ground is bare, where
they have access to pasture fields.
Iucolor, geese and ganders are exact
ly alike, viz; Il uniform, handsome grey
with breast and under parts of body
shade lighter. They are so mild ant
tractabIe in disposition. and. posse
so many good traits, that they are prot
liable '. here they can be kept, and es
pecially where grain and grass ar
cheap. There are hundreds OF vast
places upon which. with triiling ell

could be raised. To show how profit
