Enheard OF Economy in Fsaes.
The editor of the Newton Kansan
paid a visit to the Mennonite set
Element north of that town and in
telling what he saw says:
Perhaps the greatest curiosity |
about their houses, is their oven |
fire-places and with one of which |
the whole house is well heated and
the cooking done for tRenty-four
hours, the coolest seasons Of the
year. and all from the burning OF
four good sized armsfulI of straw.
The oven (Will call 1t such) is built
of the brick of their own make and
is generally seven feet high, seven
long and about two feet wide, and
situated about equally in each of
i The three lower rooms. The door
of the oven is in the kitchen, and
is also a door through which TO al
low the smoke to escape to the
chimney, both of which are opened
and closed at will; otherwise the
oven is perfectly air tight. The
blaze from the straw passes from
the front to the rear and then back
again to the front of the oven, the
=
er door near the top of the oven and
into the chimney. In its circuit
through the oven the blaze passes
around q couple of smaller ones
conveniently opened into from the
sitting rooms, constructed of iron,
inside of the large oven. They al
: So have doors to them, and in these
each family can do nearly all their
lanAlyfnn than zach largo
enough to bold half dozen good
sized vessels. Their bread, is gen.
I orally baked in large bread pans
placed upon iron stools in front of
, the large oven after the fire has
: gone out, something after the man
Y ner of our bakers. The chimney is
: good-sized and located just in front
Y of the large oven, and gees straight

some of the chimneys, places are
fixed to hang meat upon 10 be

up the same chimney. The large
oven is heated up twice q day dur

CONDITION OF THE COTTON CROP.

,.,l.,,.ol anartmant oiuea tha following in

CONDITlON OF THE CVI1UN CnUIe
The official report for June Of the Agri.
cultural Department, gives the following in
formation respecting the cotton crop:
Cotton in the first week of July is in con-
dition of healthy growth, less forward than in
july Of last year; we'll cultivated and rea-
sonaably clear of grass. During the last half
of June its growth was rapid, and blooms
were freely reported in the more Southern
belt. No complaints Of drought are received ;
rains have been frequent, and in large area
in excess of the requirements for the highest
condition. In many districts upland and
sandy leads give better promise at present
than tie bottoms in South Carolina and Flor,
ida. The storms were especially severe be-
tween June 18th and 18th. In South Caro-.
lima there were seven days Of continuous rain.
In comparison with last year, North Carroll
ma, Georgia and Texas report higher condi-
ton; all the other States lower figures than In
July of 1876. The general average in 1875
slightly exceeded 100 the present average of
condition is 81 6-10 The unit of comparison
being normal growth and unimpsired vital
ty. In comparison with the report Of june,
theStstes that have made Improvements are
Nofth Carolina, Florida, Alabama Mimisip-
pi, Iouisiana, Texas, Arkansas asd Tennes-
see. leorgia has held the high condition of

moisture. The figures for condition are as

things at first But its all right now, and we
believe you have acted fairly by US. So we
will just 60 on as before"
"Oh! it's all right, eh ?" responded Oconosh'
eyes, maybe so; but white man call 1njun
dam bad name. Injun he no like that. 1njun
not tell lie"
"No, of course not. I tell you it was all
mistake, and we we're wrong to accuse you
Come, let US make friends. You get US out
of this scrape, and we'll pay you as we agreed
to-that's all fair and square"
Gall right" said Oconosh. "But if white
man call Injun such heap bad name any more,
Injun leave 'em on the road and CO."
Now it was somewhat doubtful in what
form they might be left on the road, should
the threat be carried out; and our explorers,
not relishing the idea of being found scalpless
by any other party who might chance to come
along aherward, were careful to keep on ex-
cellent terms with their dusky guides until all
danger was passed, and they were safe in sight
of their goal.
And what did they do then?
Well, they held q private council, and
agreed that it was decidedly a risk to let these
fellows 60. They had been stirred up into
ill-feeling against them, and it was proverbial
that Indians never forgave injuries. No doubt
they had made pretence of restored good
will, and fulfilled their contract, in order to
obtain the promised payment for their servi-
ces but what was more likely than that they
would return with reinforcements and slaugh-
ter them all So in order to prevent such q
catastrophe, they fell upon these unlucky red
men in their sleep, and put them every one to
death-'in selfdefence," as they afterward
asserted in telling the noble tale.
I said they were every one killed but
Oconosh, though they believed him dead, was
not mortally hurt, and after some time was
able to crawl away from his butchered COM
rades, and tell his tale among their tribe. A
terrible oath was taken to execute vengeance
without mercy on the next party Of whites
who should come in their way, irrespective Of
condition, age or sex, no matter how long
hence such an event might occur. Innocent
blood had been foully shed, and innocent
blood should be shed in payment for it,
And now, after the lapse of Eve years, this
oath had been fulfilled.

CHAPTER v.

For seven days the emigrant band fingered
on the bank of that pleasant river, where they
found grateful resting-place in the shade of
the trees and hills, and slowly regained health
and strength in this interval of repose; while
they made sundry needful additions to their
store of supplies, which they procured from a
struggling settlement not far off: But for the
one melancholy occurrence which had cast q
gloom over them all, they would have found
much cause for sell. .gratulation in the favora-
BILE turn affairs had taken. Even as it was,
they could not but be thankful for the relief
afforded them, and the Frightening of their

small guard were left at Blairs mill; the re-
naming force moved forward for Charlotte.
The route chosen was up what is called the
Sugar, more properly, "Sugaw creek" road.
The distance from Landsford to Charlotte,
in direct line, is about forty miles. The dis
lance was comparatively short, but it was at
tended with serious difficulties. Majors Davie
and Davidson were in the field, collecting
supplies for the remnant of Gates army, and
in preventing the British scouts and van
guards from depredating upon the inhabi-
tants of the country. Many Of the people fled
as the British advanced, and not few took
British protection.
Men who, heretofore, had been regarded as
staunch patriots, on the approach of the Brit
ish, 80 far deserted the cause Of their country
as to accept protection from Lord CORVALLIS.
Of this unhappy number, was Colonels
Ephraim and Thomas Polk. Fear, momen-
tary fear, and the desire to save their proper
ty from destruction, impelled these men to de-
sert the cause of their country. Afterward,
when the cause of their fears was removed
and their property saved from destruction,
they renounced their. allegiance to the British
crown. We are sorry that we are called upon
to record this dark spot in the history of men
of high position in society, and exercising
great influence over their neighbors. Those
we're times that tried mems souls. The Folks
were rich. They owned large landed estate
near Pineville, on the Charlotte, Columbis
and Augusta railroad. The house of Thorn.
as Polk was only short distance from Pines
vile, on the east side Of the railroad. With
Davie and bis men, the thing was different.
They regarded property as valueless without
Liberty. &

in the golden Western land, had but lured
them on to find fate too fearful to record
Some five years before, an exploring party
had set out from Washington, for the purpose
of locatiLg claims in some uncultivated land
in Arizona Territory. When about fifty or
sixty miles from their destination, they hired
small band of Indians to conduct them the
rest of the way, as they had missed the direct
route and were fearful of getting lost. The
Indians were friendly and faithful, and per-
formed their part of the contract to the best
of their ability; but being overtaken by se-
we're snow-storm- it was in early spring,
and travel was difficult at that season-the
whole party were forced to halt in desolate
valley, where they suffered severely from ex-
posure, fatigue, and want of food. Quarrels
ensued between the white men and their
guides, many of the former asserting that the
Indians had been guilty of treachery, in. lead
ing them to this spot with view to delaying
them unnecessarily on their way, and that
had they gone by shorter route they could
have accomplished their journey before the
storm set in. The Indians Indignantly re-
sented the accusation, and one was overheard
to mutter threats, ola nature somewhat alarm
ing to their accusers, who knew not how large
hostile force might be brought around them,
at a moments notice, for their destruction.
The head of the exploring party, an ex-ofhcer
of the army, named Dwight, undertook to set.
tie the difficulty and restore amity among the
beligerents. ..a
"See here, Oconosh," he said to their chief
guide, "you fellows are quite wrong in getting
angry in this way. Consider how we've all
suffered. 1t was no wonder we said hard
