+ A Foolish Indian Alarm in yW1scons,l,
On the 10th inst, Gov. Smith of Wis
iconsin received letters and kilograms from
Burnett county stating that great alarm was
felt by the reported uprising OF Chippewa
Indians in that county. Gov. Smith tele
graphed to Gen. Sheridan for troops, and that
officer sent Col. Froyseth to the scene Of
the trouble. He found the alarm needless and
havingno solid basis. Some little disturbance
between one or two drunken Indians and
white men was al. the basis there was for the
reported "hostilities."

Curing Beef Without Salt.

Our system of sailing meat makes 1t
unhealthy and distasteful. Why do we
salt bones? Were they extracted one,
third the salt would suffice, and meat so
cured would lose little of it's nutriment,
besides gaining In value. Two-thirds
of the smoking might be dispensed with,
and one cause of indigestibility greatly
lessened. Modern mechanical skill can
surely contrive a tool to disbone ham,
and let the salt have equal access in
side and outside. The thick skin might
be removed with equal benefit. Custom
may claim the shape of the ham as i'm
portant, but this objection would give
way before the great superiority of the
meat. Farmers would find profit in it
for their own household. A boned tur-
key is always attractive. When raised
far from market, turkey boned
and slightly sailed and smoked
would find ready sale at remunerative
price. The Mexicans cure beef without
salt. The first operation is to unbone
it. Then it is cut into narrow strips
and exposed to the sun till superficial
crust is formed to exclude lhe air. A
slight smoking keeps insects away. 1t
is usually kept in sacks in dry place,
and time does not lpjure it. 1t is now
suggested that great improvement can
be made in curing all meats without
salt, by some adaptation of the Alden
fruit-drier. We have seen beef and
mutton shredded into broad ribbards
two inches thick, and passed thro ugh an
Alden drier and slightly smoked u.l
strong outer crust was formed. Ghe
cured meat was served to sailors on
voyage to the Sandwich islands and back,
and was esteemed great luxury COM
pared with the best sailed mess beef.
Some that was brought back to San
Francisco satisfied the experimenters
that this mode of curing meat is des-
tined to come into general use.-San

A Test for the Capacity Of Cows.

A commission has been appointed by
the Government of Pennsylvania to ex-
anime and report on the merits of a sys-
tenn which undertakes to determine in
advance the probable yield of milk of
cows, by certain marks upon the animal.
The marks are chiefly in respect to the
disposition and mode of growth of the
hair near the udder, and a prediction
can be made with certainty, it is said. as
to whether the future COW will be a large
producer of milk if the observation is
made on the young calf, even shortly
after birth. The discoverer of this pe-
culiarity was a French stock-raiser. M.
Francis Guenon; he first promulgated it
about forty years ago. Since then the
theory has found favor with several
French agricultural societies M.
Guenon has received medals and pc
cuniary rewards, and many stock.raisers
in Europe are said to base their esti-
mates OF the value of cattle upon this
system. The mark on the animal ia
called an escutcheon. The mode by
which the value of the system will be
tried in Pennsylvania is, first to have
the State Commissioners inspect the
marks on series of COWS in several
stables, and make record of the indi-
cations without communicating any facts

Why the French PrOsper.

The secret of the reserved wealth of
the French-their elasticity after dis
aster-are their habits of economy, their
excellence as cooks, their temperance
and their family attachments. They
are impulsive and violent, but their rev.
olutions are like thunder-storms, useful
to clear the atmosphere of bad elements,
and generally followed by moderation
under whatever regime. They are the
paradox of nations. They live among
themselves and upon strangers at the
same time, ard there is no other case in
which a people gets 80 much money
from other peoples and gives so little
money in return. They, however, give
music, plays, manners, books and cos
tunes freely to offers, but they remain
the same. They are always individual.
They initiate nobody except to make
somebody ridiculous w. FOrpey, in

Fremont,s Ups and Downs.

There are few OF any political faith
who will not approve of the appoint
ment of Gen. John @. Fremont to the
Territorial Governorship of Arizona.
His life has been unexampled In its
great possibilities and its conspicuous
failures. From an obscure army officer,
with ill-directed love of adventure, he
burst upon the country as Presidential
candidate, and lost the race by nomi-
nal and always-disputed majority in
Philadelphia. in October, 1856, and from
the first leader of the Republican
party, he has long been forgot
ten in politics and entirely unfelt
in the affairs of state. Once re-
garded as one of the first millionaires of
the continent, he is now broken in fort
une and owns no part of this worlds
surface but grave. When war came
he was hurried home from Paris to ac-
cept one of the most important COM
mands in the Union, and in q few
months he was degraded by those who had
been his friends and his military career
stamped with failure. He conceived
the construction of a grand trans-conti-
mental railway on the Southern line,
commanded the favor of Congress and
the confidence of Paris bankers, only to
be swamped in irretrievable bankruptcy,
denounced as swindler and convicted
of fraud in the criminal courts of
France. With all his prominence in the
political movements of the country his
only experience in civil trust was few
days service as one of the first United
States Senators from California. He
has been jeered by political enemies as
tile statesman who never made a
speech; the General who never fought a
battle, and the millionaire who never
had dollar; but, with all his failures,
Gen. Fremont has deserved well of the
nation, for he has generously sowed
where others have reaped, and in all the
wrongs imputed to him he mas been
greatly more sinned against than sim
ming. His accomplished wife (Jessie
Benton) has bravely struggled with him
in all the sad mutations of fortune
through which they have passed, and
the education of their son has been ac-
complished by the fruits of her pen.
They will well grace the humble guber-
material mansion of Arizona, and Presi-
dent Hayes will be thanked for the APP
pointment by the very many who have
grateful memories of 1856. -Philadel-

A young gentleman of Peoria. ILL.,, has
brought suit against tonsorial artist OF
that municipality for $500, which
amount, in lawful currency, he claims as
indemnity for loss and damage sustained
by reason of malpractice on the part of
defendant, the melancholy result of
which was the sacrifice OF portion of
an incipient mustache, which the plain
tiff had thus far reared with tender care
and infinite sohcitude. We do not
know how the court and jury will regard
this suit, whether they will treat it with
gravity or levity; but little reflection
will convince even the most thoughtless
man that the injured youth has solid
ground of complaint. In all ages of
the world the hirsute adornment of the
head and face has been regarded with
an interest amounting almost to veneer
alton. The ancient Israelites, the Arab
tribes of old and recent times, the Chi
nese and other Orientals, all shared or
share this feeling. The scriptures show
that the hairs of all heads are num-
bered. Whether the plaintiff, in this
case, has taken census of his mus
tache, and, in his bill of particulars,
charges at given price per hair, we are
not Advised. 1t is likely, however, that
his bill is for the entire mustache, for
the remaining section cannot be regard
ed as of much utility. Fractions, in
such cases, are of no account. Victims
of the careless handling of razors will
watch the progress of this case with in
terest. = Washington Post.

that they observe TO the owners of the
animals. These records are to be sent
to the Secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture. The owners of the COWS
will make statistical records of the yield
of milk of each animal, and send them
also to the State Board. The two sets
of records will then be compared snd
reported upon. Some of this work has
already been done, and it is said that 50
per cent. of the opinions formed by
escutcheon observation have, 30 far,
proved correct. -NeaO York Tribune.

Mr.. Bryant,s COWhide.

There are many stories told illustra-
tive of Mr.. Bryant's strength and en-
durance, but only once did he use his
powers as an athlete in a personal quar-
rel. A gentleman connected with the
Commercial Advertiser, when Col. w.
l.. Stone was editor, told yesterday, with
as much circumstantiality as the lapse
of nearly or twice two score years would
permit, of an encounter between the
Colonel and Mr.. Bryant. Col. Stone
was an ardent Wing, while Mr.. Bryant
was no-less-zealous Democrat. Their
editorial disquisitions were correspond
ingly fierce and warlike, but Mr.. Bryant
uniformly preserved what he considered
was due to professional courtesy, and
never mentioned his antagonist except
as editor of the Commercial advertiser.
OF all personalities, he considered men.
tioning an editor by name the most rep
rehensible.
One unlucky day Col. Stone so far
forgot himself as to break the rule which
he had heretofore observed, and referred
to Mr.. Bryant by name as the holder of
the opinions he was contesting. The
Commercial Advertiser, with the other
newspapers at that time, had its office
in Wall street, and, either in that thor
oughfare or in William street, Mr.. Bry-
ant, who had provided himself with an
old-fashioned cowbide, met Col. Stone.
Few words passed between the editors,
who were nearly equal in size, and Mr..
Bryant laid on the cowhide with will,
until the passers by separated them.
Ill feeling naturally followed the en-
counter. Col. Stone died few years
later.-New York Sun.

June.

The death of Mr.. Bryant occurred in
the month of June, as if in answer to
the expressed yearning of one of bis
most beautiful poems. More than
twenty years ago a little poem of his
was published in the Philadelphia
Evening Post, then literary journal of
some celebrity. It contained six STAN
zas, under the title of "June," abiding
to its blue skies and violets and
Songs of maids beneath the moon
With fairy laughter blent
with other passages of an equally felicit-
GUS description. But the burden of the
poem was petition to die in the month
of June, and passionate protest against
December dissolution

coffin borne through seet,
And icy clouds above IL rolled,
While fierce the tempests beat
Away / will not think of these;
Blue be the sky and soft the breeze,
Earth's green beneath the feet,
And be the damp mold gently pressed
Into my narrow place OF rest.
He adds, with regret peculiar to the
lover of nature, with poetic passion

The seasons glorious show,
Nor would its brightness shine for me,
Nor it's wild music flow.
But he consoles himself for this loss
with the sentiment that he shall live
again through the long, long summer
days in the grass and violets upon his
own grave-a sentiment which had dimly
CROPPED its way toward the surface in
many a human soul before, but had
never before received so complete an
Interpretation.

Presently after. however. fearing that he might
possibly fall out OF his chair he told them they

him dead, sitting in the same posture with the
book under his chin, as a man who becomes
