OF the society Of horticulture, Valparaiso, aud
the trees grew well aud strongly. They had

A IObster'S S0pacity.

A striking instance of the sagacity in a
lobster is recorded by Mr.. Barker, of the
Rothesay aquarium, in a letter to one Of
the Scotch papers. 1t seems that three
Holsters were placed in tank previously
occupied b." fiat fish, and in which, inad-
vertently a founder had been left buried
in the shingle, where it died. One of
the Holsters, ga veteran of unusual
size," soon discovered the dead body of
the founder, and dragging it from its
resting place, retired with it to q corner
of the tank. Shortly afterward it was
noticed that the founder was missing. 1t
was impossible that the lobster could
have eaten it in the water, and the,han-
die of a net revealed the fact that upon
the approach of the two lesser Holsters
he hpd buried the founder beneath a
heap of shingles on which he now
mounted guard. Five times within two
hours was the founder unearthed, and as
often did the WHY lobster rebury it with
his huge claws, each time ascending the
pile and turning bold front to his COM
panions. This story shows conclusively
what vast amount Of quenchel intclli-
gence may sometimes lie concealed in n
salad.

The Bravest of the Brave.

It will be remembered that in the re-
Gently published statement of Red
Horse, Minneconion sub-chief, who
was witness of and participant in the
attack on Major Reno, and the massacre
of Gen. Clusters command in the fight
on the Big Horn, he mentions the re-
markable bravery Of an officer having
long yellow hair, and who rode a horse
with four white feet. Red Horse said
this man the bravest man they had ever
met, that the Indians all united in declar-
ing and that he alone saved his command
q number of times by turning on his
horse in the retreat. This has been sup
posed to refer to Gen. Custer, but such
supposition is an error. The st. Paul
Pioneer-Press publishes q statement
based on high military authority, that
the officer referred to was noti Clusters
command at all, but that close read
ing OF q somewhat confused narrative
will show that Red Horse ut that point
was speaking of Reno's retreat across
Greasy Grass creek. There was but one
man in Reno's three companies who wore
buckskin. The Indians, of course, did
not know him, but the soldiers in the
rear retreating column did, and it has
beenftr sometime known to army Off
GERS who was "the yellow haired hero
in buckskin " of this gallant fight against
savages in the rear of the flying column.
His name is Thomas Fl. French, captain
in the Seventh cavalry, and who is now
at Fort Rice. It is not creditable, the
fact that no mention of his gallant and
heroic service in that day's bloody fight
was made in the official report of the
battle by Major Reno, and that the first
public mention of his magnificent
bravery was made in narratives taken
from the lips of savages, whose admira-
tion of his gallantry and daring was one
of the most most vivid impressions which
the battle made upon them.
Capt. French was 80 commissioned in
the Tenth infantry, March 26, 1868.
He had previously been offered cap
taincy in the Forty-fourth infantry, but
declined to accept it. He is graduate,
not of West Point, but of the regular
army. He served as soldier during
the rebellion, and was promoted, on his
merits, to second lieutenancy in the
Tenth infantry, May 18, 1864. On June
% of the same year he was advanced a
file, and then in 1868 received his cap
taincy. From May 10, 1869, to January
l, 1871, he was not on duty at oil, but
on the latter date was assigned to the
Seventh cavalry, with which command
he has since performed excellent service.

The Chico Slaughter.

The latest advices from Chico, q San
Francisco paper says, show that what IS
known rs the Council of Nine is mainly
responsible for the recent outrages.
This committee was elected by the Labor
Union for the trial of members for
of1ienses against the order. AS vacancies
occurred the council filled them, and
thus became independent of the order
and commanded the obedience of men,
bers. 1t was soon found that the men,
bers were congenial spirits, and then
came suggestions for the commission of
the crimes which have since come to
light, and many more that were never
carried into execution. All the members
of the council are now under arrest.
Many members of the Labor Union evil
IDENTIFY know nothing of the crimes of
the Council of Nine, and believe the OBJ
ject of the order to be only to dis
courage the employment of Chinese by
all lawful means. The oath administered
in initiating members of the Labor
Union is as follows:
I do solemnly swear that will keep
the secrets of the order. I do further
swear that I will assist any brother in
need or distress as far as [ am able. [
further swear that I will aid in execu-
ting the laws of the United States of
America. So help me God.
There is a secondary degree in the
order, the oath to which is as follows
swear before God Almighty that I
will carry out and obey all orders of the
Council of Nine, whatever they may be.
If I do not so my life is forfeited and I
may be put to death by this Council Of
Nine.
All the members are not taken into
the second degree. The oath adminis-
tered to member of the Council of
Nine has notsyet been obtained, but it
is understood to be Of the most strict
ironclad order.
The people of Chico now fear the in
surance companies will cancel their
risks in the town. New developments
are being continually made. Some old
officers declare that the Labor Union was
cognizant of the acts of the Council of
Nine, and that the council was merely
used as a cloak for the order. 1t is posi-
lively asserted that the order in Sacra-
mcnto and San Jose work Oh the same
principles. The feeling continues very
intense, and the people are nervous and
excited over the situation.

A Chinese Funeral.

Coming up town lately, says q Canton
correspondent, q Chinese funeral passed
me at brisk trot. Seated with the driv-
er of the hearse was Chinaman who was
diligently scattering slips of paper along
the street. Picking some of these up [
found them perforated by sharp instru-
ment, cutting them in several places. l
stopped some Chinese on the walk, and
asked the meaning of them, but could
get no satisfactory answer. I learned
from friend, however, that these paper
charms are thrown out all the way from
the house to the cemetery, the object
being to keep the evil spirits from get
ting possession of the body. 1t is sup
posed that they follow the dead body in
crowds determined on mischief. but that,
being very curious, they stop whenever
they see these paper slips, examine them
carefully, and try, MS I did, to get at
their significance. Meanwhile the fun
eral hurrics on, other slips being thrown
out, thus keeping the little devils occu.
pied in their studies, till the friends get
the body buried and beyond their reach.
A Chinese funeral reminds me of those
Bible passages which make mention of
hired mourners. These orientals employ
women to do their public lamentation.
The coffin is placed upon bier on the
sidewalk, hanked by the inevitable pig
or pigs, there being two, one roasted (see
Charles Lambs essay Oh Chinese roast
pig) and the other uncooked, but both
decorated with flowers and paper hero
glyphics. The priest talks little, and
then the professional mourners, dressed
in white, which is the mourning color Of
the Chinese, lament a little; then more
talk from the priest, followed by more
lamentation from the women; and 80 on
to the end, when the dead man and the
dead pigs are hurried off together to the
cemetery with q shower of paper enigmas
to tease and cheat the demons on the way.

Stories of 4 Mayor.

When the Prince of Wales visited
Coventry two or three years ago, the Sec
retary to his royal highness, thinking
the procession to the station was moving
somewhat slowly, sent rather an impera-
tive message commanding "the mayor
to trot." The answer returned was:
"TcH Nh. Knollys the mayor of Coven-
try does not trot." The present occupier
of the magisterial chair was present Mt q
dinner party given the other evening by
the member for North Warwickshire,
Mr.. Bromlcy-Davenport. He had the
honor to take the hostess in to dinner.
"I don't know, Mr.. Mayor" said the
lady, 'whethcr you are at all afraid of
the measles, but my little children have
them, and I myself have had slight
attack" Once more the mayor of Gov
entry rose to the occasion. Madam, y
he said, "I should be only too delighted
to take anything from 80 charming a
source"

them compact, as in the foregoing case;
and when the time comes to spread the
manure take team and sled with NOV
able sideboards and proceed to remove
some of the manure to other places, so
that when it is spread it will be evenly
distributed. It would be but a short
operation to remove part of the ma
nure in that way, and I think the labor
can well be afforded by farmers, rather
than lose 80 large portion of their stable
dung by evaporation, rs the ordinary
method of hauling out manure in the
winter is sure to cause.
Potatoes on Poor Soil.
N. J. L., Brush's Mills, N. Y, writes:
"I have piece of sandy land that has
been under the plow for forty years, and
I have tried to raise potatoes on it, but
never have succeeded in getting over one
hundred bushels per acre, with plenty OF
good stable manure. Now, I want to
know how it will do to use nitrate of
soda, and how much to the hill should
be used; clear, or mixed with some other
fertilizer, and will it pay to use it at
eighteen centp per pound? Would salt
be of any beneft2"
Reply. Nitrate of soda would be of
no use in this case. The value Of this
fertilizer is only four and one-half cents
per pound, and at eighteen cents no one
could afford to use it for any purpose.
What is wanted is doubtless potash.
If one hundred bushels Of wood ashes
per acre could be applied to the land, it
would probably add very much to the
fertility. Salt would be no help to it.
If wood ashes cannot be procured, 300
pounds per acre of muriate of potash,
costing three or four cents pound, would
be very good substitute. Or, perhaps,
$50 pounds of superphosphate of lime
and $50 pounds of muriate of potash
mixed together would be better still.
Potatoes need potash and phosphoric
acid, and not nitrogen, which would
make stalks, but few roots.
Black Teeth In Hogs.
A. s. Plummer, Edinburg, o., sent to
the American farmers club two black
teeth which he had just extracted. The
hogs in his county (Portage) are begin
ming to be troubled with these teeth,
which, if not removed, are certain to
cause death. The symptoms are: First,
the hog refuses it's feed; second, there
comes weakness about the back, and
finally the animal fails to getup and dies.
These teeth are found in each jaw-in
the upper one near or over the tusks, and
in the under jaw some are found between
the front teeth and tusks.
As no one present could give any infor.
nation on the subject, the club desires
farmers who may have any knowledge as
to its causes and cure to communicate
! the same to them.
Soft Eggs.
O. E. F., writes: My chickens lay
eggs with soft shells. What shall I give
them?
Reply.-Give them rest. They are
laying too many eggs, more than they
have material to finish properly. Some
bones burned and powdered should al
ways be given to fowls when laying, but
if the hens are supplied with variety
of food and can get plenty. of gravel and
earth or coal ashes, and are in perfectly
good health, they will not lay soft eggs.
This defect is on Indication that they are
fed too highly and are overta1ed.

A Love Story.

Ten years ago handsome young man
passed through Monticello, Ky, and was
noticed by a young girl sitting at the win
dow of the most aristocratic house in the
town. She fell in love with him at first
sight. She had wealth, culture and
beauty. He was poor, and then on his
way to seek fortune as cattle herder in
Texas. After many ups and downs he
found himself the owner of silver mine
in New Mexico. The girl bloomed into
a rarely beautiful woman, with literary
ability, and became contributor to the
apostolic Times. She learned who the
unconscious object of her fancy was, and
they corresponded throughout the ten
years. She never wrote word of her
personal attractions or family, nor did he
speak of his good fortune. A few weeks
ago he wrote her proposing marriage, and
soon followed his letter to her Kentucky
home, where he saw her for the first
time. Recently they were married, and
Miss Annie Berry, that was, learned on
reaching Silver City that her husband,
R. B. Metcalf, was the greatest capital
list in New Mexico.
