While Sir William Johnson was Super
intendent of Indian Affairs in the Mnhawk
Valley in 1875. one of his staunChest friend
was the old Mohawk sachem, Hendrick
Sir William mad great confidence in til,
old chiefs judgment, and seldom made II
move against the hostile indians and
French without consulting him. If they
are tn fight they are too few if they ar,
TO he killed they are too many" was his
aConic response to Johns ms question
touching the prnpriety of sending out y
small body Of men which he had organized
against AN expected invasion.
On certain occasion Sir William wa
unpacking II large boz of clothing which
he had just received from England. Hen
drck CHANGED to he present, and was par.
ticuarly attracted by richly.embrniderp
coat which he saw brought forth and shak-
IN ont in all its gitt ring spIendor goh
lace and gilded buttons and bright silk
facing. The old Indians eyes sparkIed
aud he could scarcely keep his eyes from
the coveted prize. But he held back and
kept his peace for the time.
On the following morning however, thu
chettain waited upon the Governor for It
purpose, rs was evident from the intensit,
of his look.
"Sir William" said he, with wide.open
eyes and a general expression of Wonder
me have il great dream last night. Nj
dream that you say to me, Good Hem
lrick, you have been my friend, and now
will reward YOU And you gave me the
new coat, with the bright gold on it, that
came in the box"
Tho baronet reflected few moments,
and finally said:
ut is true, Hendrick, you have been my
friend. The coat is yours"
The chief went away fairly beside him
self with delight.
A few days after that said Sir William
to his dusky ally:
"Hendrick, | had Al dream last night"
"Ah! And what did my white brother
dream =
81 dreamed that you took me by the
hand, and said to me: Sir William
johnson, you have been my true friend,
and will give you proof of my great love
for you And you gave me the tract OF
land ON the great river and Canada Creek"
describing square territory embracing
nearly one hundred thousand acres OF
choice land.
The old chieftan was for little time
utterly confnunded. This was the fairest
of his domain. But he was not to be out
done in generosity.
My pale-laced brother" he at length
said, "the land is yours"
And after pause he added, with sig
nifcant nod;
"Sir William, we won't dream any more
You dream too big for me-"
The title ofthe land was confirmed t.
Sir William by the British Government
and called the Royal grant. The lane
was north OF the Mohawk, and lay mnstl,
in what is now lerkimer county.--Hart

Interesting Discoveries.

DR.. Schliemann's letters to tho London
Times C ninue to give most interesting de-
tails of his discoveries. In one tomb were
three bodies, wonderfully preserved
"All three were of gigantic proportions.
and appeared to have been squeezed with
force into the small space Of only six feet
which was left for them between the afore
said walls; the bones of the legs, which
,rr nearly uninjured, ARE really enormous
size.
Although tho head of tine first man
was covered with massive golden mask,
his skull crum"led away on being exposed
to the air, and but few bones could be
saved besides those of the legs. The same
was the case with the second body, which
had been plundered in antiquity. But of
the third body, which lay at the north end
of the tomb, the round face with all its
flesh had been wol derf lily preserved undo r
it's ponderous mask {; there WAS no vestige
of hair, but both eyes were perfectly visi-
BILE, also the mouth, which by the cnor-
nous weight that had been pressing upon
it, was wide open and showed thirty two
beautiful teeth. By these all the physi.
clans who came to see the body were led
to believe that the man must have died at
the early age Of thirty five.
THE massive golden mask, which COW
| cred the head of this body, and which ]
mentioned in my last letter, is 12S inches
long and 121 inches broad. 1t is 80 thick

has been pressing upon it has made no i'm

with large eyes and large mouth, much
resembling the features of the body when
uncovered. and feel now more convinced
than ever that all the golden masks faith
fully represent the features which they
cover. In fact, single glance on these
spendidly-made masks must convince
every one that they are real portraits and
not ideal types. The golden breast cover
of this body, which likewise mention in
my last letter, is IA 2 s inches long and
4 8 inches broad. At distance Of hard

At the Dickson place, on Bullark Creek,
near Six-mile Station, is a ten-acre field
which lie nothing more nor less than sub.
terrunean like, covered with soil about
eighteen inches deep. On the soil is cul-
tivatcd field of corn, which will produce
thirty or forty bushels to the acre. If any
one will take the trouble to dig hole the
depth OF spade handle, he will find it to

line fsh four or five inches long Gun be
caught. These fish are different from
others in not having either scales or eyes,
and are perch like in shape. The ground

field hands catch great strings of delicate
ish by merely punching hole through
the earth. The whole section of country
surrounding this field gives evidence of
marshiness, and the least shower Of rain
produces an abundance of mud. But the
question comes up, has not this body an

Action Of Cold Upon Milk.

Prof. Maurice Perkins of Union College
translates for the Country Gentleman from
the Paris Complies Rendus, some statements
IN this subject, which are of interest in
connection with discussions now going on
here with regard to the Hardin and other
systems of setting milk, by Eugene Tisser,
md read. we presume, before the French
Academy:
Numerous experiments have been made
bv exposing milk tn different temperatures
varying 20 deg F. to 100 deg. F.. and the
following facts have been elected:
/. The rise Of cream is the more rapid
"a the temperature to which the milk il
exposed approaches 80 deg.
:. The volume of the cream Is greater
when the milk has been efficiently cool,
ed.
2. The yield of butter is also greater
when the milk has been exposed to very
low temperature.
4. Finally, the skinned milk, the but.
ter and cheese, are of better quality when
prepared under the above circumstances.
While it is impossible to offer satisfac.
tory explanation as to the reason why arti.
fetal cold should produce bene fetal Of.
feet upon the yield and quality of the
products derived from milk, it is probable
that it may tend to arrest that fermenta.
tive decomposition which is SO prone to set
in with organic fluid, and thus by pre-.
venting incipient alteration, indirectly to
improve the quality of the material.
The practice of warming the dairy in
winter time, so as maintain its atmosphere
ut a constant temperature of about go deg,
is therefore Objectionable; the pans should
stand in running water at as low q TEN.
perature as can be practically obtained.
1t is further suggested that the fnrego-
ing facts should be brought prominently
before the notice of those who are engaged
in the manufacture of dairy products, in
order that the many erroneous notions on
this subject may be gradually ellminsted,

NEW PLAN FOR PREPARING AND rGEsERy-.
ING CORN FODDER.

Francis Morris, of Howard county. Md
has lately adopted method of preparing
and preserving corn fodder that has for
| he last ten years been growing in favor in
he south of France, and which, according
o the reports Of the Agricultural Society
81 france, has superseded every other kind
| If fodder in that country on account of its
quality and cheapnesA. Mr.. Morris 1s
7atisted that its adoption in this country
| will entirely revolutionize the system Of
farming He related his experiment and
the result as follows:
About the LIST of last August I plnnted
nVe acres of ordinary wheat land in Indian
;orn, and allowed it to grow until the
LIST of October, when it was in tasscl. I
then had it cut down with a reaper and
passed through the ordinary process of
cn"pplng' using tor that purpose an ordi.
'lhry feed-cutter. The fodder thus pro.
'''lcea was mixed with straw in the pla.
portion OF !our-tiiths corn fodder To one.
nitn straw. 1t was then put in trenchep.
thmplcd down and covered with earth,
ne fodder remained in this state until
last Christmas day, when the trench 8 were
Peheu and lhe fodder taken out and fed
to the cattle. The fodder was found to be
III as perfect state of preservation as
when it was first put in, and the cattle
seemed to relish it from the first, and now
prefer it to any other kind of feed. The
cost OF producing this fodder was only
'hout 81 ton, which is only one.twen
0'eth ns much AS the cost Of timothy hay.
which is rot equal to it III any respect. II
The land is planted early in Spring, 90
nr 80 tons can DE raised to the acre. bnt in
france the land is highly MANFRED and
the corn is sowed two feet apart, which
often makes the yield as high US 80 tons
t" the acre. The same lsnd can afterward
he planted in barley, and loses none of its
strength by the planting of the corn, as il
is principle in agriculture that the
strength OF the land is only lost in the for.
nation of the grain. BY the use of this
fodder every farm of 100 acres, planted
with 10 acres of this fodder, would be
.bie to fatten 100 head of cattle during
. ne Winter, which would yield profit Of
% per cent besides the immense adyap.
tage OF having such an amount of manure
,hich il itself, if utilized, would pav for
the fodder thus used.'
Inc advantage III this method, Mr.. Nor.
us states, is best shown by Il comparison
between the cost of production of this
fodder and the cost of timothy hay:

PERFECT FAITH.-A story was told of a
street boy in London who had had both
legs broken 10y dray passing over them.
He was laid away in one of the beds Of the
hospital to die, and another little creature
of the same class was laid near by, picked
up sick with famine fever. The latter was
allowed to lie down by the side of the little
crushed boy. He crept up to him and said,
"i"l'by. did you never hear about
Jesus T.
NO, never hcerd of him.
"Bubby, went to Mission School once,
and they told us that Jesus would take
you to heaven when you died, and you'd
never have hunger any more, and no more
pain, if YOU nxed him."
II cuuldn't ask such great big gentle

wouldn't stop to speak to u boy like me-"
i" But he'll do all that if you ask him."

"Bonby, hold up yer hand, and he'll

They got the hand up. 1t dropped.
Tried again. 1t slowly fell back. Three
times he got up the little hand, only to let
it fall. Bursting into tears, he said:
81 give it up"
Bobby, lend me your hand; put your
elbow on my piler; | can do without it,"
So one hand was propped up. And
when they came in the morning, the boy
lay dead, his hand still held up for Jesus.
