Two years ago a young man, who
had acted for several years In the capa-
city of book-keeper I'm one Of our
large wholesale Establishments, made
up his mind that he would always be
Obliged to keep books and be a slave ut
the desk unless he went into some
thing else. He knew but little about
practical farm work, but his young
wife heartily Joined him in the idea !;
he determined to follow Uncle Hor-
aces advice and q GO West" He did
90, and purchased from one of the
railrond lines q farm of 100 acres of
land In southeast, IN Kansas. When
he settled his family In comfortable
little house, stocked his place with q
fair amount OF tools, labor-saving ma
chinery and live stock, he found him
self indebted for about one-half his
property. That was year ago. The
crops this year are not all sold yet, but,
nevertheless, he. has paid Off all his
debts and has 1857 In cash on hand,
besides enough more produces tJ sell to
double that em0unt and dstiIl leave him

The proper method of civilizing the

The proper method Of civilizing the
Indian, in the belief of a Catholic mis-
sionary, Father Raveille, who has long
lived with the Sioux. Is to learn his
tastes and then lead him toward civil
ization by ways that donot too harshly
cross those tastes. 1t Is necessary to
break up the tribal organization, stop
their wandering from place to place.
and protect them when they are try
ing to become farmers. The nomad
instinct IL strong. Father Raveille re-
lates this anecdOte: Zone bitter cold
night, while was with the Sioux up
near the Canada line, well-known
chief, named Left Bear. came into my
hut. I said to him: Look at me here
in this room, Left Bear. See what
civilization can do. The wind on the
prairie is sharp; the snow is deep, but
here Is stove that warns the air.
Here is a bed. where can sleep and
not freeze. Here is my table, with
books, 80 can read and learn. Is this
not much better than roaming about
without home ?" He repeated oil
these advan tages appreviDgly. Bot,
said he, with splendid air about him,
you are not free. You cannot put
your house on your back and go to
some new place when you want =

He Took Notes.


1t appears that young man named
Jubal Shine arrived In Detroit few
days ago on one Of the up river boats.
It also appears that In due course of
time he was found drunk in an alley
and taken TO the station house, and
from thence sent to the Honse OF Cor
rection for thirty days. Heleft behind
him memorandum book. 1t would
seem that Mr.. Shine is young
man who desires TO keep himself
posted, and that he Is also a close OBJ
server OF things, and warm friend of
his mother. The first entry was made
as soon as he arrived. 1t reads:
beats anything ever saw! Saw
four locomotives just now In one yard!
Saw mOre'n u hundred barrels of -four
In one pile! Saw over thirty horses
soon as 1 got of the boath Wish ma
After an interval of half an hour he
wrote again:
Counted 347 people on the streets
In ten minutes, and 'tisn't Fourth of
July, either! Saw over 800 grindstOnes
piled up before one place! Counted
eighteen telegraph wires OIL one post |!
Wish ma was here"
He probably waited awhile again
before making his third entry, which
reads: 9
"I've counted inore'n sixty stores
already! Never saw such place for
stores In all my life! Believe I've
seen over two hundred women! Just
went by store where over thirty
pairs OF breeches were hanging out |!
Wish ma was here"
Some hours must have elapsed be-
fore he wrote again, as he began:
"Pve seen more'n million things
Believe I've seen over six hundred
people! I've walked over u mile, and
haven't come to the end of the city
yet! Boys and girls walk right along
the same as anybody else, and heard
boy sassing a man who sells peanuts!
Guess I've heard as many AS seven
bells at different times, and l came
pretty near seeing three. dog fights
Darndest place any one ever see for
houses! Them things they call street
ears run on wheels, and won't turn out
for nothing! Wish ma was here.n
Some time during the evening he
wrote:
Begin to feel as If l had always
lived here. Man asked me what time
twas and told him just as naturally as
If had lived here ten years Got two
of the darndest best meals ever had |!
Let a feller take as much butter as he
wanted to- Just had drink! Green
horn from the country was treating
me to beer. Wish ma was here"
His last entry was perhaps made
by starlight after getting into the alley.
The hand was unsteady, and some of
the words ran clear across the page.
1t reads:
'Saw more'n hundred greenhorns
cool of an k klect my thoughts Drank
lots o. beer, but it's hard on the beer
guess I'll stay all nite! Wozzer-

THE PLANETS.
MOVEMENTS OF THE Four BRIGHTEST
MEMBERS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM.

Every clear evening in this month
and December, from half an hour after
sunset, all of the four brightest Of the
planets may be seen (abOut one hour
to seven hOurs) near each other in
pairs in the b. w. and s.. 8. T.. to s.
E.; Venus, the brightest, and Jupiter,
the largest of all, in the s. W., and ap-
preaching each other until November
8, when their distance will be less than
three degrees afterward greater, and
Jupiter the lower OF the two; ON Oc-'
tober 16 1t passed about two degrees
north Of Mercury, SO that five, or 0Xof
the old planets, were then seen at the
same time. And on January 5, 1878,
Jupiter will come In conjunction with
the sun. About 6 p. III. ut the present
time, Mars and Saturn will be quite
high in the s. E., and at 8 y. M, In
the south on November 3, they will
he nearest each other, or less than one
fifth of q degree apart, but afterward
their distance will increase. At their
next geOcentric conjunction, however,,
on June 80, 1879. Mars will pass nearer
Saturn than, as is believed, ut any time
within half O century, or within less
than sixtieth degree, so that 1t Is not
impossible that one of the Satellites,
or q part of the Rings of Saturn, may
then be eclipsed.
On the 9Th Of February next the
Rings of Saturn will disappear, and
until March will be Invisible unless
viewed through one of the greatest and
most powerful telescopes, which may
perhaps render them visible. On the
9Th OF December, 1877, the planet
Venus will be. at 7:15 p. m, Boston,
time, or only few minutes before
setting, eclipsed by the moon; in
the nOrth-w westerly States. Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc. the occulta-
ton will take place earlier; but In
Washington city there will not be any
eclipse, as the planet will pass u little
south of the moon.
The planet Mars, hich on Septeln-
ber 2 last was only 81 1.5 millions OF
miles from the earth Suns mean dis
tance, 0la millions), had, on Novem-
her 1, become 55 millions distant. 1t
has been said in u newspaper that 1t
will not he again sO near within go or
20 years rs last summer. Speaking
strictly, this may be correct, but at the
opposition Of this planet, on August 4,
1892, the least distance of Mars from
the earth will be "a 2-5 millions, or
only one-fifth Of one million greater
than on September 2, 1877. 8

The Gospel of Merit.

Where there is so much rivalry as in the
manufacture of family medicines, he who
would succeed must give positive and con-
vincing proof Of merit. This is an age Of in
quiry. People take nothing tor granted. They
must know the ''whys" and "wheretores''
before acknowledging the superiority of one
article over another. Among the few prepar-
ations that have stood the test, those manu-
featured by R. V. Pierce, NJ. D.. OF the Worlds
Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, have tor many
years been foremost. The truth of any state
ment made concerning them can be easily as.
certalned, for DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery are now
prescribed by many physicians in curing OBJ
stinate cases of Catarrh and incipient Con
sumption. The Discovery has no equal in
curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchial and Nervous
Affections. It allays all irritation of the mu-
cous membrane, aids digestion, and when
used with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets readily overcomes torpid liver and Con-
stipation, while the Favorite Prescription has
no rival in the field of prepared medicine in
curing diseases peculiar to females II you
