Inquiry in official circles fully con-
Arm Gen. Hatch's assurance to the In
dians, that the report of the advance of
troops is wholly untrue.
Secretary Schurz has for some time
suspected that some adverse element
was secretly at work to retard, or, if
possible, defeat the reports of the com-
mission, and he is strongly inclined to
believe that the source of the present
trouble is correctly indicated by Ouray.
In referring to the assertions fire.
quently made, that tribal relations must
be broken up, and the reservation sys-
TEN must be abandoned, Sec. Schurz
observes: An attempt to establish these
objects at once all over the country,
without intermediate stages, by mill
itary force, would undoubtedly result.
in many cases, in Indian wars of un-
precedented magnitude and bitterness,
which would require much larger,
army than we at present have, and
prove in the end not only most inhu-
man, but, in blood and treasure the
most expensive of all wars. The secre-
tary says the cause of the Ute trouble
cennot be found in any just complaint
on the part of the Utes. 1t is expected
that the occurrence of this trouble and
the transactions following thereupon,
will result in such arrangements as will
be calculated to prevent future hostile
contact between the white inhabitants
and Indians in that part of the country.

Commission Los Pinos Agency, Nov.
26.-All investigation was stopped this
morning by runners from the White
river Utes, who stated that runners
from the Uintah agency say that troops
were moving to Uintah agency to make
prisoners, and that all the Uintah's had
left for the camp of the White river
Utes, who now refuse to come on until
assured that this is not true. The In
dians have been informed, by us that
this report is false, and that troops are
instruct ed not to advance during the
present negotiations. An advance of
troops would close any further busi-
ness here. Ouray thinks the story is
an invention of the Mormon element,
who are doing all in their power to
create serious trouble. This will delay
the commission six days, until the

A Woman Inventor.

One day last week, just after the
newspapers had announced that Prof.
Edison would take vacation before
completing the task of discovering an
antidOte for the Elevated Railway rack
ct, a pleasant-looking gray-haired
woman boarded a train at Fifty-ninth
street, and made her way to the rear
platform of the last car. There she
stood while the train was rattling
along, until a conductor came out and
said that he was sorry to interfere with
her enjoyment, but he should be COM
PEELED to request madam to step in
side, because passengers are not al
lowed to ride on the platforms. The
woman expressed herself as being
panied 20 give him any trouble, but
said that she was riding there for 8
purpose, and that she should remain
there. unless he chose to carry her in.
The young man in blue cloth and gold
braid looked at the smiling face and
ample form, and retreated to the other
end of the car. On the previous day,
Edison had ridden on the road with a
stick in his mouth, trying to lealn
where the sound came from and how 1t
could be stopped; and a man who sat
just inside the open door facetiOusly re-
marked that perhaps the woman on
the rear platform was the MeDlO Park
wizard in disguise. She replied that
she was not Edison. only his substitute
while he was taking his vacation.
After riding the length of the Metro
politan Elevated Railway. the smiling
gray-haired woman returned to her
house at No. 63 West Twelfth street.
and began whiting out with a PEN
knife model of the structure on which
the tracks are laid. Two shingles, for
which she had paid four cents, fur
nished the timber, and paper of pins
furnished the necessary bolts. in the
cellar of her house she set up her mod
el, and experimental in secret, behind
bolted doors, with device for absorb
ing the sound produced by the Ele-
vated-Railway trains. Late i'll June
she notified the Patent Office of her
Intention to apply for letters patent on
a device of that kind, and on the 3lst
of July a caveat was duly filed. After
doing this she went to MIR. Beard with
her plan, and arrangements were made
to have the device tested on the Metro
politan line. The result of the test
was SO favorable that the company
bought the invention for $4,000, and
agreed to pay her a liberal royalty on
sales of rig ghts to other companies. The
invention consists simply Of boxing the
rails with sand and cotton, covered
with asphalt. At all times, except in
very cold weather, the sound is very
much deadened by this device, but
when it is very cold the effect is not
nearly so favorable. The woman who
thus got ahead of Edison while he was
taking vacation is Mrs. Walton, of
SO West Twelfth street. She has al
ready received 81. 900 Of the sum which

Reelaiming Farms.

In building up an improbable farm,
the first aim should beto stop the proc
ess of running down; to make it pay
first, expenses, and then a slight, yet
increasing profit, and to this end both
thought and labor must be directed.
No matter how cheaply the family has
been living, if it is possible to reduce
expenses do so. Cut off everything
except plaiu food, coarse, warm clothes,
a single newspaper. Raise your own
vegetables, and save on the meat bill.
Pay cash as you go. Everything has
to be paid for in the end, and the whole
credit system is delusion and a snare.
Enlist the energies and whole nature of
each and every member Of the family
in the one great effort to save the farm,
the home. Be proud of your utmost
economy; even study the economies OF
other men. Keep a strict and honest
account with everything about the
farm, so that you know exactly now
YOU stand. This is the most important
of all. Every successful farmer keeps
strict accounts. The value OF account
books on a farm is not so much (as
many suppose) to merely show what is
received and what is spent, but to show
exactly which field or which crop paid
best, and where losses were incurred,
or too small profits received. The di-
rect bearing of such knowledge on the
successful conduct of a farm may be
easily understood.
On every farm, but especially on one
which is doing poorly, there must be u
scrupulous saving of all manurial lI1 suo,
stances. Barnyard manure, decayeo
animal or vegetable matter, refuse M OF
every description, bones gatne5esu uP

A GOOrkha.

TIE next regiment 10 arrive was the
Fifth GOorkhas. A more remarkable
type of man than a GoOrkha' does not
exist. In the first place they are all hill
men, and therefore invaluable in any
frontier warfare. Their absurdly small
stature is compensated for by their
great daring, activity and courage.
Their principal idea of happiness is
bloodshed; but at the same time they
only exhibit this temperament on
service, and at all other times, when
their passions are not reused, they are
the most charming and gOod-natured
set of people of any natives of India.
They laugh and chaff and enjoy a joke
like an Englishman, and l believe are
not too particular about caste. Each
man, beside the ordinary soldier
equipment of rifle carries a kind of
sword, or rather dirk, called "cook-
cry" Their curved blades are always
kept as sharp as a razor, andthe aston
ishing rapidity with which they can
clear space for an encamping ground
proves how ably they can use this, their
natural and national weapon of de
fense, or rather attack. Their cast OF
feature is almost Chinese. During the
frontier campaign this time last year
against the JOwaki Afridis, they arr
said to have told their nOn-cOmmis-
stoned officers that if the general com
manding would only give half the regi-
ment leave to go off independently into
the hills for q few days they would
guarantee to return in less than a week,
having killed or captured every Jowaki
in tho country.-AtghGnistGn Cor. Lon

ASHTABULA, OHIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1879

the Metropolitan Elevated Railway
Company will pay her for her patent.
This is not the first time Mrs. Wal
ton has brought forth an invention.
She once invented an improved steam
whistle, which pleased her husband so
much that he invited in a friend to see
il work, which friend was so pleased
with it that he at once got it patented
and cheated her out of her right. Nor
is the noise-deadening device likely to
be her last invention, for she is now
engaged on the model Of of contriv-
ance which, she says, will be used in
every house in New York before the
end of two years. She declines to give
any hint of its nature, but says the aD-
plication for a patent will be made
within few weeks.
Mr.. S. Brisac. of 80 Fourth avenue,
says that the boxing device is his,
and that the Metropolitan Company
refuses to pay him for using it. In
vestigation discloses the fact that he is
one Of ten different persons who have
applied for patents for substantially
the same invention. Each has been Of
fcially informed from the Patent Office
that his or her application interferes
with the others, and that the Commits
sioner will receive evidence of priority.
Mr.. Beard, who has charge of the mat
ter for the Metropolitan, says that un-
doubtedly Mrs. Walton was ahead of
the rest in filing her papers. There
is likely to be considerable litigation
before the question can be legally set
tied. So many inventors worked at
the noise problem, and all at the same
time, that rival claims to any device
selected were inevitable.-N. y Sun.

IN this cold climate good bedding is

thrift of stock as is good food. Bis

1t certainly puts new life into man,
energy into the horse, strength into the

is required for keeping up animal

the wastes of the body, greatly in

to come to stimulate energy or secre-
tion of milk or fat? 1t is a good, but
rather difficult, thing to imagine our
