cropped up during Its long career,not one has

that whereas many OF these medicines were
advertised to perform cures OF the most start

sIttlng.Bull a College Graduate.

The New York Worlds correspondent
at Fort Walsh, British Columbia, has
the following about Sitting Bull: In
conversation, after dinner, with n Of
the police-oficers the other day he said
Sitting.B Bull WA a native Of Fort Garry,
and an alumnus Of st Johns College.
These statements Siting-Bull himself
afterwards confirmed. Several old ira
ders who have had a look at him declare
they remember him well as Charlie ia
cobs, a half breed who attended the col
lege in its infancy, thirty years ago. This
young Jacobs was an Objibway, and was
a remarkably intelligent lad, with ambi-
ton TO become a " Big Injun." He dis
appeared from Fort Garry about 1858.
When asked by a police-oficer if he rec.
collected any thing about Fort Garry,
Sitting Bull laughed heartily, and said
he knew the principle people there
others Donald A. Smith, 9 Hud-
son Bay factor; James Sutherland, and
Father Vary,now Missionary at the Sault.
He was also we'll acquainted with the
late James Ross, chiefjustice of the
Riel-Lepine government in 1S69.70.
Indeed, he says they were boys together.
Ross was a half.breed who, after gradua-
ting at st. Johns College, went to
Toronto university, where he was gold
medalist. Sitting Bull says his father,
Jacobs, was at n time employed
as an interpreter by Father Prouix on
Manitoulin Island, but whether the old
gentleman is dead or not he does not
know. Sitting-Bull is thoroughly famil.
lar with French and English and several
Indian languages. He is about forty
two or forty three years of age, a medium
sized, athletic-built man, of ne distin-
guished traits beyond those always found
in a half-breed. He is an excellent con-
ve~rsationalist, and will talk on every
but his plans for the future.

The Michigan Farmer has this good
advice: Almost gilmore Importance than
the form in which food is given, are the
frequency and regularity Of meals. The
horses digestive organs are not con-
structed for long lasts. Long intervals
without food produce hunger, and hun
ger begets voracity food is bolted, and
Indigestion and collie follow. This is
doubly true and dangerous with horses
doing hard work. They come to their
long,deferred meal not only hungry, but
exhausted; not only is the food bolted,
but the stomach is in such a state as to
be incapable of thoroughly active diges-
ton, and is overpowered by half the
amount of food it could otherwise digest.
The prevention of waste is almost at
tanned when we give a proper form but
there are two points to which it is right
to devote s)me attention--the form of
the hangers, and attention-to the wants
of the individual animals. The managers
should not be less than three feet long,
eighteen inches wide and twelve inches
deep. They should have IN upper bor-
der of wood projecting inward for two.
inches, and a transverse bar of halfinch
iron across the middle. A piece of two
inch hoop iron, on the top of the manger,
protects it from damage by the horses
teeth. This simple arrangement prevents
the horse from throwing out his corn,
and the provender is not set in so thick
a layer as in the ordinary narrow and
shallow manger.

C0NYICT LAR0R AGGRESSIYE.

Coal Creek, Anderson county, in
this State, is the theatre of an advan-
ced labor movement. Afessrs. Cherry,
O'Connor & Co, the lessees Of the
Penitentiary, propose introducing con-
Wet labor in the mines at that point,
thereby throwing out of employment
between 1000 and 1900 people in the
vicinity, who are directly or indirectly
supported by the mines. The miners
have held meeting and by resolu-
tons expostldated with the lessees Of
the Penitentiary on their contemplated
move. Up to this writing nothing
definite is determined This is an I'M
wise step on the part Of Cherry, O'Con-
nor & Co. in the face Of the intense
feverishmess of the public mind on the
labor question. Like in other States
the convict labor Of Tennessee should
be utilized within the prison walls, and
not be allowed to be hawked about the
State in competition with honest labor.
The Penitentiary can be made self
supporting and even be managed to
become Il source Of revenue, and the
fact that it has been managed in the
past to the burden of the State is no
reason why that for every convict
added to the prison roll some honest
laboring man shall be driven out of
employment, and he and his family be
made beggars. The whole system is
wrong.
The system cannot be justified upon
any principle of State economy or pub
lie justice. This move of convict
labor leads to the panperism of honest
labor and thence to increased crime

ing the State III search of tempting in

Dor to the Glowing cut of work OF

very adroit business men, whose en-
terprise signalizes itself in their appar
ent deep concern for the welfare of the
State, III that she should allow then
to bear the cost and loss in the use Of
convict labor, while behind all thi:
specious special pleading is the fac
that these gentlemen have found il

rich Nevada mine. If these gentle
men want to use this labor let then
work it where it can do the least in

force it where hundreds Of families vii
be forced into beggary.

THE MOTHER OF TENNESSEE.

Judge Mcrrimon of North Carolina,
in an address recently delivered before
the State Normal school at Raleigh,
rehearscd many plain but attcsted
facts. He graphically portrayed the
condition of the State and showed
wherein she had erred, and how to re-
trieve her lost position. He told his
hearers that illiteracy makes darker
spot upon the character of North Car
DINA than upon that of any land of
English-spcaking people. Here is Il
condensed statement of his argument {:
A peoples civilization is judged by
the manner Of their moral, mental and
physical development. How have
they used their natural resources TO aid
their necessities, happiness and glory?
Sign-boartls of civilization all over Il
State are Its public buildings, monu-
ments, roads, factories, fences, farms,
manufactures, mines, &c, &c.

THE QUESTION.

Among the American questions Of
the day none can be compared III i'm
portance with those which have been
forced upon public attention by the
recent disorders in the North and
East. The fact that wages, the share
of labor in the proceeds Of industry,
and interest, the share Of capital in the
proceeds of industry, are now so I'M
preccdently low in this country, Is en-
crossing the attention Of the ablest
publicists. 1t is stated by contribu-
tor in the New York World that be-
fore the outbreak of the civil war cap
ital easily earned from seven to ten
per cent. interest on safe investments
in this country, while now, on similar
investments, it with difficulty earns
from four to six per cent. Before the
outbreak of the civil war labor was i'll
such constant demand and earned such
good wages in this country that Il year
" increasing stream Of immigration
from Europe poured in upon US with
out Cutting the market or depressing
wages. Now the stream of immigra-
ton has been turned into a stream of
emigration. Labor, skilled and. I'M
skilled, is finding It's way now not into
America but out of America going
to Australia under the patronage Of
Colonial British govenments-going
to England to help English employers
contend against English tradcs-unions.
Why are these things thus? How can
these things be changed? How can
the dry-rot of our industries be checked?
These questions are before the coun-
try for solution. When abolitionism
broke down the conservatism wrapped
up in Southern slave labor, Pandora
box of untold evils commenced to tor
ment the country. The craftsmanship
of to-day is now called upon to meet
the issue and deliver America out Of
the meshcs of certain dire revolution
ary agencies.
