Forces Marching Against the Nez
Perces.
Cincinnati Commercial

ST. LOUIS, September 1.-THE Republican
has the following special from Camp SIAM
baugh, Wyoming Territory, dated Septem-
Der IL: The Wind River expedition against
the hostile Nez Perces, consisting of five
companies of the Fifth Cavalry and one of
the Third, under the command of General
Merritt, left Camp Brown, forty miles north
of this place, on the 9th inst. General
Crook was present in person to see that
everything was in campaign order, and to
give his final directions. This makes the
fourth column now in the field against Chief
Joseph, and it is confidently believed that
he has ventured too much, and must either
fight or surrender. His position when last
heard from was critical, being between the
forces of General Howard and those of
Colonel Sturgis, of the Seventh Cavalry,
only a short distance from either. Which
ever way he moves now there is a command
to confront him. A junction with Sitting
Bull can not be effected, and it is not be-
heved that the Crow Indians, who have al
ways been friendly, will receive him. A few
days now will determine the fate Of the willy
chieftain. Gen. Crook has returned to
Omaha.
SITTING BULL TAKES A HINT, AND LEAVES
CANADIAN TERRITORY.
NEW YORK, September ia cores
pendent tells the story of the cause of Sit
ting Bullleaving the British possessions. He
says: The British officers and Sitting Bull
had a council, and after the council the tribe
performed the usual dance. A young half
breed, Bill Culverson, at present Govern
ment scout, joined in the dancing. After
it was over he became excited, counting
his scalps, and said to Sitting Bull: "Look,
l have killed as many of your hostile red
skins"
Sitting BuIldrew his revolver, amovement
initiated by Culverson, but before either
could shoot, Major Welsh, with his revolver
drawn, sprang between them and told Sitting
Bull to put his revolver away. Turning to
Sitting Bull, he said: az want you to under
stand that you can not commit any of your
deviltries here, as you do in the United
States. will give you and your tribe five
days to leave this country; if you are not
gone then, or if you ever return, l will fight
you. If you are ever caught here again, or
if you shoot this man, Fn have you hanged
by your neck till you are dead"
Sitting Bull left the next day.

A dispatch dated Camp Sheridan, Sept.
10, via Camp Robinson, Nebraska, Sept. II,
says: Lame Deer's band of Indians arrived
here to-day, which completes the surrender
of all the hostile Sioux, clearing the Black
Hills and Big Horn country, as Sitting Bull
and party are in the British possessions.
The number surrendering to-day is between
three and four hundred. About one hun
dred and seventy-fve of the band had
previously arrived. The final party were
accompanied by the Indian couriers sent out
by Major Burke.

When and How to Prune.-Loug e,

When and How to Prune.-Long ex-
perience shows, says the Rural New
Yorker, that when it is desirable to pro-
duce a free growth of shoots and leaves,
pruning should be done while the trees
are dormant-i in the winter or early in
the spring, before the sap begins to flow.
When fruit trees appearto grow too rap
idly and produce too much wood, they
may be pruned moderately in the sum-
mer, cutting away a portion of the wood
by degrees; but a shoot growing in an
improper place may be cut away at any
time. An experiment made by pruning
apple trees every month in the year for
two seasons showed that the wounds of
branches cut in February and March, at
the end of five years when all had healed
over were the least decayed under the
healed surface. When trees are pruned
in winter or at any time, it is better to
cover the wound with a hot mixture of
tar and pulverized brick dust or fine
sand. A solution of shellac in alcohol,
a thick as can be easily applied with a
brush, is considered by many to be the
best preparation that can be applied.
During the mild days of winter orchards
may be pruned while little else can be
done; but good Judgment should be ex-
ercised in selecting the branches to be
cut off. 1t is ruinous to ap orchard to
cut and slash away one-third or M
half the limbs. All thatshould be done
is to give the tree a good shape, and
only such limbs should be cut away as
are plainly in excess of the natural re-
q%uirements of the tree to conform to the
extent of its roots. If we take away toe
much of the top of a tree, it is like tax
ing blood from the body of a man; the
more is taken the less life there is il
him; therefore, in pruning, only a few
unsightly- branches, and those improp
erly situated, should be cut away.

RUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS.
pnnEnIC SantnnInr IN INN m


Our batteries cannonaded Plevna all day
Sunday. The Turks made a considerable
sortie against our left wing, but were re-
pulsed, losing heavily.
The Roumanians made a bold r%econnois-
sance of the enemy's redOubts, which
opened a heavy fire, but were silenced by
a concentrated fire of our batteries.
The position of one our siege batteries was
changed Sunday evening, to enable it to
~cannonade the fortified Turkish encamp-
ment. Heavy cannonading continued
throughout the night, and has increased in
extent and activity from five o'clock this
morning. All quiet at other points of the
theater of war.
At the capture of Lovatz we took two
Turkish standards and a quantity of arms
and ammunition. We buried two thousand
two hundred Turkish dead. Large mum.
bers were sabered by our cavalry during
the pursuit. Our loss was one thousand.
RUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS,
PoREDIN, September 11--5:2O a. m.
Our siege batteries c~annonaded Plevna
all day Monday, and until late in the night.
The left wing, under General Skobe1eff,
captured another one of the %neighboring
heights, which will enable us to lombard
the enemy's positions and the town of
Plevna itself. The enemy opposed General
Skobeleff very feebly. Our cavalry on the
Sophia road has defeated a detachment Of
Circassians from Plevna. Our losses to the
present time are Insignificant.

TOPICS FOR THE r

Novel Foster MOther.-A cores
pendent of the New York World says
that Mr.. John A. Todd set a hen on
thirteen eggs last spring. When the
little chicks began to peep through the
shells, the old hen would peck at them
until she had pecked out the eyes of at
least five, and then she pecked the tops
of their heads off. Mi. Todd saw her at
it, ndtook the chicks that were not yet
killed, and two or three that were Just
breaking the shell, away from her, put
them in a basket on some cotton, kept
them some 3aysnear the stove, and
saved seven chicks from the thirteen
eggs; when the chicks were old enough
they were allowed to run in the yard by
day, and at night they were put into a
basket covered with a cloth and set in
n corner of his kitchen. Mr.. Todd
went to feed them one morning, and
was astonished on raising the cloth to
see his three-months' old "Thomas" cat
curled up in the basket with the chicks
all close around him. The cat contin-
ued to sleep with them every night
afterward until they went to roosting
with the other chickens. This cat was
never known to catch chickens on the
place, but would catch birds and ground
squirrels every day.

The Destruction of Forests,

For some years scientific writers at
home and abroad have dwelt upon the
injury to the climate of the country
which follows upon the wholesale de-
struction of forests; but a more annoy
ing, if less serious evil, than prolonged
periods of draught, has been observed to
result from the leveling of forests on the
Russian shores of the Black Sea. This
evil takes the form of innumerable
poisonous field spiders, whose bite
Though only fatal in rare cases) causes
sharp local irritation and a painful
swelling all over the body, especially
toward the abdominal regions. The
Russian troops in the present war have
suffered greatly from these insects, and
their presence in such unparalleled num-
bers is thought to be due to the de-
struction of forests, which, by driving
away birds and insectivorous animals,
has deprived the country of the checks
which nature has provided against the
increase of the spiders in question.

WHEREVER newspapers are read

WHEREVER newspapers are read the
quaint humor and inimitable drollery
of the Burlington Hawk-Eye man "
are laughed at till the tears come, and
everybody will be glad to know that he
has Just issued a book, through the
American Publishing Company, which
he calls "The Rise and Fall of the
Mustache, and other Hawkeyetems."
There is no difficulty in telling where
the laugh should come in his writings.
1t finds its way at the proper place
without any prompting of its owner.
Indeed, it is impossible to prevent it
breaking out inuproarious examinations
when Mr.. Burdette is at his funniest,
and this is nearly every time he takes
his pen in hand. There is a perpetual
flow of drolleries from his imagination,
which amazes one at the extraordinary
prolificness and inexhaustibility of the
fountain. The whole country has learned
to look in its newspaper for a daily sup
ply of borrowed "Hawkeyetems," over
which it may fall into the widest
merriment, and fora few moments forget
every cankering care and teasing sorrow.
This man who thus beguiles and cheers
the world, putting to its lips, as it were,
a cup of the waters of Lethe for a
merciful draught, is a public benefactor,
and should receive the warmest graft
tude.

Watering HOrses.-This subject, says
the Germantown Telegraph, is again on
the carpet, and there are as many views
as there are writer's as to when, how
often, and how much water a horse is to
be allowed daily. Some think once a
day is enough, some twice, some thrice,
and some that water should always be
in reach of a horse when in the stable !
People accustomed to use, feed and wa
ter horses soon find out how to treat
them, and in this treatment how often
they should be watered daily. Those
| who only drive horses and know moth
| ing more about them, may neglect them
through ignorance or ~inattention, but
must understand that they should be
watered three times a day at regular in
teryals with cool water in summer, if it
can be had, and mild water in winter.
Pump or spring water meets these con-
ditions. If driven, they should not be
watered until cooled, and then they
should be allowed as much as they can
drink, and not driven again immedi-
ately after. In the stable these things
settle themselves. The common prac-
tice is to water before feeding. Horses
watered three times a day-morning,
noon and night-will be in far better
condition for work of any kind than il
watered half a dozen times, as some
people driving allow their horses to be,
They will sweat less and be more lively,
and we believe will be in better health.
Once a day, or twice a day even, is not
sufficient, though horses can get along
with it as can cattle, but it is not ad.
visable or humane. In fields where
there are full watering-troughs, cattle
will be found to go to them about three
times a day, and horses the same.
Sponging out the mouths of horses a
stopping-places we never allow; in the
first place we do not consideri it any ben
eft; and in the second it may convey
disease from one animal to another.
