Confessions of en- Old Rooster.

I have belonged to Capt. Polk John
son for the last five years. He always
seemed to love me, because ne said | was
a good chicken. and 1 know I have been
faithful to him. / have never failed to
crow at the proper time every morning,
and he always seemed to appreciate it.
I always knew when company would be
here, and was faithful to warn his good
wife by going quietly up TO the back
door and Growing three times. When
ever desired to do a job of scratching l
was considerate enough to leave home
and do my scratching in his neighbor's
garden. i never allowed a stray rooster
to come on his premises, .nough did
sometimes decoy his neighbor's hens over
to our house and lend them the use of
our nests. I always thought this pleased
him, as he never objected to it. Yes, l
have been faithful to that man. Three
young turkeys strayed over into our yard
last week and / promptly killed them all,
aud only the other day l killed two gos-
|lings, and would have killed another but
for that old gander who interfered with
the proceedings. 1 don't %hink shall
ever tackle another gosling, that is if the
old gander is there. When it comes to
fighting, gander won't "tote fair" He
wants all underhold, and generally man
ages to get it. He doesn't step around
and do any big Growing, but for all that,
when you advance on him you'll find him
there. His beak is very deceiving. 1t
isn't sharp, but then it is mighty good on
gouge, and has boss grip. No mat
ter where it takes hold, feathers and hide
have to come. I think / shall never
have another misunderstanding with a
gander. Before this affair l was con-
sidered the handsomest rooster on Green
wood avenue. I am glad l eft that gan
der when I did. l think he was de-
termined to pick me alive. He got all
my tail feathers, half of my comb, and
some good eating off my breast. got
enough of him, and l hope lie is satisfied
with what he got of me. 1 was glad
enough to get back into the poultry yard.
The hens gathered around me with some
degree of curiosity. After all did not

that not one has ever failed except from
gross i'll treatment. The exhibits of gold
pens are an indispensable and character

tant American industries.
TINE KEEPERS.
Perhaps, however, the most important
displays in this department, all things
considered, is that of the Waltham
Watch Company, their first in the Euro
pean exhibitions. The readers of the
Times reports of the Philadelphia exhi-
bition will not need to be informed OF
the admirable machinery by which the
works of the Waltham watches are pro-
duced or their singular exactitude, which
enables any part of watch to be re,
placed by the corresponding pieces Of
any other watch of the same grade. To
illustrate how involved are the various
improvements in mechanism it may be
noted that the delicacy Of construction
of the new balance would only have been
possible with the mechanism introduced
by the Waltham Company, the precision
of which may be judged from that of the
micrometer last produced and shown al
Paris, which measures the twenty-five
thousandth part of an inch, and even
| indicates that so largely that it might bt
divided under lens readily into hundred
thousandths. A micrometer screw gauge
detects inequalities in the thread of 6
screw up to hundred-thousandths, and
screw made for the Government Scientific
Commission to correct the measures ha!
been constructed in which the maxim1n
of error in the thread is less than ont
ten.thousandth of an inch.

What Pious and Thrifty Agent
can do i'm the Way of Swindling
the Government and Inciting
an Indian War.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
BISMARCK, d. t., August Il.
General Hammond, the In
dian Inspector, is investigating
Fort Belthold Indian Agenc,
with unexpected results, as the
Agent, Ell. Alden.o Minneso-
ta, is Congregational minister,
and man whose only qualifca-
ton was his picty. He appears,
upon the evidence thus far ad-
duced, to have carried his wife
on his payroll as clerk when
she was absent from the Agen-
cy for Two months, and to have
sworn that she was present and
actually did the work; that he
drew a false voucher for $50 for
an imaginary carpenter, AID
pocketed the money; that he
trades bacon TO the Indians for
twenty-five cents pound, when
lit costs the Government only
thirteen cents, and sells coffee
to them at fifty cents that costs
thirty cents, and dry buffalo
meat, which costs ten cents, for
twenty-five cents. He advan-
ces the prices for the benefit Of
the trader, and swindlcs the In
dians every time he pays one
for a weeks work.
Alden is represented as a
weak, vacillating old man, who
has Dot the courage to swindle
or larger scale, and therefore
has ruined himself for a few
hundred dollars and the traders
interest. The Indians have
threatened TO Kill him if he is
not removed. They are violent
in their denunciations. Their
chief complaint is his lying.
The Berthold Indians are good
and thrifty indians. Their fir
ing on nc steamer Josephine
and killing soldier last week
is a surprise 70 tde whole com
munity, Hammond finds all
the records belonging to the
Administration agents, Z. b.
.Spcrry and Tappan, who Pre-
coded Alden at Berthold, are
missing. Sperry is now a pro-
lessor in Carleton College,
Minnesota, and Tappan is a
brother Of the Boston embez-
zlcr of that name, and drew a
voucher for $4,000 just before
he vacated his office. 1t was
for supplies that lad to he
bought in Sioux City and ship
ped up the river at once to keep
the Indians from breaking out.
The Department Investigated
the necessity Of the purchase,
and found that it was a put-up
job with a Sioux City firm and
the emergency never existed,
and the goods were never de-
livcrcd.
