The Colts.

On nearly every farm can now be seen
the little colts waiting to be petted and
trained for useful life. Lose no time
The sooner he becomes used to the
handling and kind control of men the
better If he be helped upon his feet
soon after he is dropped, the kindness
and lesson will not be lost. Never let
the colt have the mastery, even if it re-
quires a severe struggle, at the expense
of damaged toes; but when his struggles
are subdued, keep hold of HIM until he
is petted and learns that the object is
not to hurt him. Then let go gently;
gentleness, but decision. must be exer-
cised. So soon as he becomes familiar,
at three or four weeks, teach him the
use of the halter, and while kind and
gentle, teach him that you are his mas
ter, and capable of controlling him. 1t
is frequently necessary during the first
year Of colt that he should be led, fas-
tened and handled. To do this it is on
ly necessary to have him thoroughly
halter broken.
But treat him kindly and soon there
will grow up q mutual attachment, for
an intelligent colt is very atfecti0nate.
and there is no animal more worthy Of
mans devotion than the colt-the horse.
The more he is talked to the more he
will know, and the mere he knows the
more valuable he Is. A farmer can
scarcely be lonesome on a well-ordered
farm, amid his colts, calves, pigs, lambs
and chickens. And their confding de-
pendence on their owner works in him a
noble devotion to them honoring to his
heart, and solacing to his otherwise
lonesome hours. The domestic animals,
especially of the improved breeds, are
truthful, intelligent and kind. The av-
erage horse or OK is more honest than
the average man-Io,ca State Register.

encouraging results OF his work among the people OF the
North Mr. Acklen said: "Thcse generous gifts Of the
Northern people in the hour Of our sore distress
will do more TO heal sectional prjudices than all the
speeches and Bue-and-Gray meetings ever Devised
sonherners never forget such things and these timely
benefits we shall hold q loan OF honor" Mr.. Acklen

POLITICS IN LOUISIANA.

VIEWS EXPRESSED by CONGRESSMAN ACKLEN.
The views of Congressman Acklen, of Lou
isana who present in this city, sought yester-
day In regard to President Hayess Southern policy.
"The people of my State feel very kindly toward the
President" he said, for the honest carrying out
OF his expressed views with regard 10 the South.
He would have done even better by us than
he has had not the extremists OF the Republican
party deferred him in some measure from his
purpose. But Louisiana will return a solid Dem
ocratlc delegation to Congress, and politically we
have nothing complain Of About the only thing that
1 know Of to prevent General Grant from being the
Republican nominee for President In $780, Is for him to
die without such political revolution as can scarcely
happen Grant Will be nominated. Every negro in
Louisiana will vote for him 10 a man. They nave I'M
plcit confidence in him. and he is the only man IN the
country the negroes would sOlldly vote Tor"
In the course OF further conversation, Mr. Acklen
spoke OF the scandaous story lately circulated about
him In Washington He branded the story as lie out
of whole cloth" invented by his enemies solely TO Dure
his political prospects. " How fh they succeeded in
their designs You may judge" he SAID, when tell you
that been renOnnated for Congress by acclama-
ton a district strongly Republican, and nave before
me nothing beyond walk-OYer."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The report Of the Sioux
Indian Commission which was submitted to the
Secretary of the Interior to-day, reviews at much
length the working of the agencies and the condi-
ton of the Sioux in Dakota 1t states that the In
dams, when left to their own judgment in the mat
ter of removal, admit that with the occupation
of the country by settlers and the opening
of wagon and railroads, there is no other
alternative, but to accept suitable location in
some other part of the Territory where they may
main under the protection of the Government.
The location of the agency for Spotted Tail is fixed
on the South Fork of the White River. at the mouth
of the Rose about sixty-ve miles west of the Mis-
souri, and that for Red Cloud on the Wounded
Knee at Pine Ridge, ard about ITO miles from the
Missouri The commission state that they would
have preferred TO have established the agen-
cies nearer the river as more economical for
the transportation of supplies, but after a
careful inquiry respecting the character of the
country contiguous to the river it was found unfa-
vorable on account of the absence Of arabic land,
GOOD water and lumber in sufficient quantity to
answer the purposes Of the agencies and Indians.
The commissioners congratulate themselves upon @
peaceful solution of this part of the Sioux question
and anticipate that their action will be permanent
in its results.
