watching the new ward, as he is brim
full of fight. After General Terry's
benevolent and elaborate speech to the
savage at Fort Walsh, in behalf of the
commission, Sitting Bull advanced to-
ward him with uplifted finger, shrek
ing, Z" You came here to tell us lies. !"
He then said:
& For siXty-fOur years you have kept
me and my people, and treated US bad.
What have we done that you should
want us ? We have done nothing. 1t is
all the people of your side that have
started us to do all these depredations.
We could not go anywhere else, so we
took refuge in this country of the Brit

EmacIatlon =, Remediable per.ct.

.Leanness not only detracts from personal
comeliness, but is an index that the blood is
deficient in nutritive properties. To remedy
emaciatIOn, enrich and purify the blood,
which will then develop healthy flesh. This
object is most readily attained through the
agency of the great blood fertilizer and de-
Purent, HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, which
enables the stomach to extract from the food
taken into 1T ample noUrishment for the sys.
TEN, removes ali obstacles to complete di-
gestien and assimilation, and by stimulating
the kidneys to vigorous action, incites those
organs to strain from the vital fluid in its
passage through them impurities which
would otherwise impair its fesh-creating
qualities. Not only do the Bitters promote
the development of solid fiber, but thew also
increase muscular power and elasticity,
overcome nervousness, DANISH mental de,
preston, and protect the system against
disease.

Krupp,s Latest Contract.

The news comes to us from Essen that
the Russian war Office has ordered an
other batch of 800 guns from the famous
factory Of Herr Krupp. The cannon
will be employed doubtless to strengthen
the field batteries in Bulgaria, which on
many occasions have proved themselves
inferior to the Turkish ordnance, and
also to replace the guns of the Guard
now passing the Danube, whose weapons
are said to be, for the most part, of an
old bygone type. The Turks, as we are
we'll aware, are provided well nigh
throughout the whole of their artillery
with steel breech-loadeIs from Herr
Krupp's factory and they have also pur-
chased large number of siege guns OF
the same pattern for tie defense OF
AdrianOple, ETzerOum and Kars. In
fact, the Constantinople war Office showed
a good deal of discretion when it selected
an arm for the service which stood the
German host in such good stead during
their campaign in France, and partic
uIarly before Paris. Previously much o.
the rifed artillery in the Ottoman service
was of the Armstrong breech, loading
type, but lately instead of following Great
Britain, and adopting a mUzzle-loadipG
weapon of steel and iron, the Turks tool
the independent course of selecting al
arm for themselves, and how wisely they
acted recent events have shown. DESPITE
| the significant fact that we were their ole
allies, and that they have for many year
past come to this country to purchas,
| ships and guns and ammunition, they
| seem to have been resolved to have thei
| own way in the matter, and went to tn

is not, 700, as if we had tried the ney

On the contrary, we believe there is no
at the present moment a single breech
loader in our service of the latest KTup
pattern; we are quite sure there is non
heavy enough for siege purposes such a
might be tried practically in comparison
with our own cannon. And yet we ar

light Stables.

Neither cattle nor horses should be
stalled in a dark stable, as all animals
require light in the daytime. A horse
kept for months in a stable would be
liable to become blind. In regard to
light in swine pens, 81 writer says that
two sows having litters on the 18th and
22d of January, respectively, were kept
in two rather dark, bat warm, temporary
sites, and had to occupy them till about
the middle of the month Of April, when,
for each SOW with litter, one of the per
mRnent sites was opened by selling the
occupants. At that time the pigs which
had been kept in the dark, but warm
temporary sites proved to be less lively
than, and much inferior in weight and
size, to'those of any of the filters raised in
the less warm but well-lIghtcd permanent
sites, Notwithstanding that the difference
in age was very small, and that food and
care had been the came in every respect.
One of the filters born on the 18th OF
January, which had accidently the best
lighted sty, though situated in the north
west and consequently coolest corner OF
the frame building, exhibited the most
rapid growth, aud the litter born on the
ed OF january, which had the darkest
sty, had made thepoorest.

The Punch In Virginia.

There are hundreds of incidents conse-
quent upon the advent of the new system
of raising revenue in Virginia. One is
worthy of mention here, and in this con
nection it must be noticed that, singular
as it may appear, the saloon keepers are
bitterly opposed to the register. During
the afternoon of the first day of the new
system, R. NJ. 7. Hunter, state treasurer,
dropped into a saloon and planting his
elbows famiIiarly upon the bar asked for
8 glass of beer. A party seated in the
rear, discussing the merits or dement's of
the register, narrowly observed the dis
tinguished old gentleman and listened
attentively for any expression relative to
the instrument that might escape him.
He slipped bis beer and looked anxiousIy
at the bartender; slipped it again and
eyed the barman still more intently.
Putting down his glass he remarked:
You haven't punched. -

the smiling dispenser Of liquids.

Fairbanks & Co. are the sole and exclusive
agents of the Sluthour Pump, owned and man
aged by the Oscillating Pump Company. They
are the simplest and yet the most efficient hand
pumps ever invented, their excellence being
fully attested by the fact that at the Centennial
and wherever exhibited either in this country
or IN Europe, the first premiums have been
awarded to the company for hand pumps, ship
pumps, force pumps and fire pumps. The small

Hou Ronn AprIe..

Use great care in picking them from
the tree, and when transferring them
from the basket to the barrel handle
them like eggs. Get the best granulated
sugar barrels to keep them in, and when
the barrels are full cover them with thick
paper to keep them from the air. Then,
with a barrel-header press the heads in,
and keep them out of the cellar as late
as you can without having them freeze.
Put them in the dryest and coolest part
of the cellar, and raise them from the
ground three feet or more on kids, and
do not open or disturb them until they
are wanted tor use. IF exposed to the
air by opening the barrel to pick them
over, some of the apples will rot and
others will Wither.

September Report of thc Memhis Dc
pRrtmcnG.


The crop report for October Of the Mem
phis cotton exchange has been pub
iished. 1t is made from forty seven
reports from west Tennessee, fiftv-One
from North Mississippi and fifty-four from
Arkansas, north of the Arkansas river, of
the average date of Oct. l. The majority
report unfavorable weather, owing to
rain keeping the crop growing and re-
tarding maturity The average damage
by worm, rust and rot is six per cent
The average date of the general picking
is Sept. %.
The average prospect for yield as COM
pared with the same date last year is
five per cent. This comparison is made
with the prospect of last year before frost.
The possible damage by frost is estimated
at eight per cent. greater than last year.
The reports generally indicate but little
or no top crop, the wet weather causing
it To shed.
There is much complaint of excessive
grass au-. weeds in the crop, seriously
interfering with picking and promising
much trashy cotton after Il killing frost.
The crop is generally later in maturing.
The labor morale is good, and the crop
will be fully saved.
The corn crop is not so good as last
year. The condition of the hay crop is
good. The prospective increase in the
acreage of wheat, rye and grapes is
twelve and-One third per cent.

The Work or Desolation

Within ten years no less than 12.OOO,-
900 acres of forest has been cut down or
burned over in the United States. Much
of the timber is used for fuel, twenty-five
cities being on record as consuming from
5000 10 10000 acres each. Fences use
up much timber, and railway sIeepers
require the product of 150, 900 acres per
annum. The amount of pine and hem
lock timber yet standing in the forests of
the timber states is estimated at 225,-
000,00O,G00 feet. The sum of S144 ,OOO,-
600 is invested in the timber industry,
