Pueblo Indians in Court.

A novel scene was presented IN Chief
Justice Princes court at Santa Fe, New
Mexico, short time since. Five of the
so called "Indians from the Pueblo
of Laguna were brought into court for
trial. The Pueblo Indians of New
Mexico are the only remnant still exist
ing of the civilized aboriginal Americans,
whom Cortez found on his arrival in
Mexico, living to-day exactly as they
did 400 years ago; and those of Laguna
are especially advanced in agriculture
and mechanical arts. They are a quiet,
industrious, honest and law-abiding peo-
pie, having their own municipal govern
ment. and seldom, if ever, coming into
the United States courts. On this oc-
casion about thirteen were in attendance,
five having been indicted for driving a
large flock of sheep into their village 1t
appeared, however, on the trial that the
sheep were trespassing, and were driven
in by direction of their governor, and
with no i'll intent. The Indians wore no
head covering, and all had loLg, jet black
hair, except two or three very old men,
whose hair was white as snow. The
Lieu.enant-Go of the Pueblo had
red handkerchief arranged around his
head like a tiara; and wore a curious
large green shell suspended from his
neck. Their dresses were various in
color. Several were in white; some wore
blouses Of red cotton, others green, and
others striped pink and white. All had
high foreheads, and intelligent faces with
prominent noses. While they have been
at peace with all mankind for many years,
vet among their officials whom they still
annually elect is ''war chief. and he
was among those present. AS their wit
nesses understood no Spanish, a vener-
able Pueblo was sworn as interpreter;
and the questions, first propounded in
English, were translated into Spanish by
the regular court interpreter, then into
the Laguna language by the old Pueblo;
and the answers similarly translated,
first into Spanish and then English,
making the examination slow one.
The language is peculiar one, and full
of very prolonged consonant sounds and

A Shoemaker,s Rich Strike.

A wedding occurred recently in Chi
caeo which recalls strikingly some of the
incidents in the "Arabian Nights
The Chicago Times, speaking of this
ceremony, says: 1t was between two
favorites of fortune whose sudden re-
moval from poverty to opulence has few
parallels in fiction and far fewer in real
life. The bridegroom is Mr.. August
R;sche, who was a year and half ago
Door man, obtaining q meagre living
by working at his trade rs shoemaker.
He was one of the pioneers of Leadville
and had the good fortune TO . strike it
rich.n He was the discoverer of the Lit
tie Pi4tsburg mine. He is now the part
ner of Governor Tabor and the owner
Of fourteen or fifteen mines, somes of
which are among the best silver mines
in the country. Among them are the
Saxon, Nevada, Hard Cash, Penfold,
Red Rogers and Alaska. Heis forty-five
years. The bride was Miss Minnie
lunghuhn, twenty-four years old. Till
a few weeks ago she supported herself
by sewing in the establishment of Glauz
occurred few weeks ago Mr.. Rist he
met Miss Iunghuhn at Glauz & Perio-
lat's and proposed at once. The time of
the wedding was not decided on how
over. till Monday, when it was deter
mined to have it the following evening.
The wedding occurred at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Periolat, No. IA Park
avenue. The ceremony was solemnized
at 7.3O o'clock by the Rev T. n Morri-
son, Jr., of the Church of the Epiphany.
Mr.. and Mrs. Iunghuhn. the parents of
the bride, and Mr. and Mrs. Periolat
stood up with the bridal couple. The
bride was attired in a pearl-colored silk
and brocaded satin, cut a la princesse,
with long square train, trimmed with
orange blossoms. She wore diamond
solitaire earrings and diamond pin and
bracelets. After the ceremony a supper
of the most sumptuous character was
served. The bridal pair go to New York
Washington and Baltimore, and then re-
turn by way of this city to Denver,
where they will reside. Mr.. Rische has
just paid S42, 600 for furnished house in
Denver, to which he will take his bride.
Mr. Rische's present to the bride con-
sisted of watch and chain and Dia-
mond jewelry to the value of 81 800, and
100000 in government bonds. Some of
the finest presents were sent by Mr..
Rische's Denver friends, and did not ar
rive in time for the wedding.

Through China.

We passed through by-roads and fields
of millet ten feet high, and could not see
across the country unless where the har-
vest was cut. The stocks of the large
millet looked like wigwams We heard
sad tidings of the famine; yet here there
was abundance, so much that this one
province could supply all the famine

is no enterprise about getting the millet
to the hungry, and the port was soon to
be closed by the winter. There was al

the road to watch us pass, and we knew
it was family in mourning. Some
ladies crossed by a path over the fields
to pay visit to a neighbors house; a
servant followed them, and they stole
shy looks at the foreigners. Here the
reapers were ut work; and if it was the
large millet, they cut down only one stalk
at time, and then bound them labor

A Tame Humming Bird.

Some time ago lady living at Gin
cinnati heard a bird called as if in pain,
in the yard outside the door, and upon
investigation found young humming

promptly rescued the tiny fellow and
found it to be a little hurt, though
enough to warrant her taking an interest
its convalescence. She took it into the
house and kept it till the next day, when,
on taking it to the| door to let it go, the
bird flew up into p tree and refused to
go farther away, finally returning to her
hand. Charmed with the confidence
displayed by the pretty creature, the
lady took it fully in charge, and since
then has fed and cared for it as for any
other feathered pet The bird is Of a
beautiful russell gold in color, seems to
know its benefactress, and has charm
ingly coquettish ways. 1t permits its
mistress to handle it without exhibiting

makes plaintive call, and is then fed
from a fresh petunia, into whose depths

A Zulu Artist.

M. Enanda writes to the Art Inter-
change from Zululand as. follows: |
will give you the history of one Zulu
artist that / knew. His name was
Uqonqota- Please strike the roof of
your mouth twice with your tongue,
making noise like small hammer and
then you will get the pronunciation of
his name. He fled to Natal with his
wife, to escape the sentence of death
which Cetywayo had passed on him for
being suspected Of witchcraft. He spent
his time in carving wooden and ivory
spoons, snuff-boxes of many varieties,
made of vegetable ivory, ETC., and also
from reeds, all painted and figured.
Bead work he excelled in-also modern
pillows with filigree carving, wooden
milkpails, ivory and bone perspiration
scrapers with snuff-spoon at one end
and bone combs that looked like three
tined forks. With these forks they

care of to make these useful articles. /
must tell you before / forget that Uqon-
qota was also noted poet and sang his
own compositions as he carved or painted
the snuff f-boxes and musical reeds. He
could draw very well considering he
never hal a lesson, and his silhouettes
were made with the spear red hot, burn
ing the figures very evenly black though
they were hideous representations. |
regret not having a few copies for the
cup and saucer painters of New York to
copy. for they would have admired them
hugely.
This Zulu artist was indeed very
original character. He often paid us
visit to see the sewing machine, and
would solemnly exclaim, 1.-The white
man will soon find the medicine to cure
deathn He tried to initiate some of our
things, and showed much taste for pic
lures. His pottery was more graceful
and the ornamentations looked lifelike.
By his great industry in art he soon ac-
quired large fortune, namely, three
wives and kraal full of cattle, calves
and goats; but he did not retire from
business; he would peddle his armlets
and leglets, necklaces, spoons, spears,
etc., far and wide over the country. At
last he had filled an earthen pot full of
English money, and he thought he could
re-enter the Zulu country unknown, to
buy more cattle. to buy more wives, to
be a greater aristocrat, when he un-
expectedly met one of Cetywayo's police
men who was watching for runaways to
Natal, and spear too well aimed felled
him to the ground.

An Extraordinary Case.

twenty-one years of age, daughter Of
Casper Schmidt, who is TO all appear

state for nearly twelve months past. She
aw,akens, however, once every twenty
four hours. precisely at ten O'Clock Mt
night, and will converse with the family
and others for about twenty minutes,
when she will again relapse into the
conaatose state, and remain so until ten
O'Clock the following night, ut which
hour she revives to the minute, throw
ing out her arms and folding her hands
together, and raising up her shoulders
until the spectators imagine that her
bones are cracking. She remains in
that laborious state for the space of ten
minutes, when she comes to a perfect
possession of her faculties.

The SOIan Goose.

The hardy birds, constructed by ma
ture to battle with the elements, have a
beauty entirely their own-widely diff
ferent, indeed, from the colored splendors
of the tropical birds; but theirs is a
beauty of ornament rather than of
strength and perfect power. The solan
goose, or gannet, is a wonder among the
flying kind.
Mr.. Frank Buckland has been expert
menting upon the anatomical construc-
ton of the gannet, and says it possesses
in its body the most perfect aeronautic
machinery that can be conceived. There
is communication between the lungs,
the feathers and the hollow bones of the
birds, by means of which it is able to in
fate itself like balloon.
The gannet on which Mr.. Buckland
experimental measured nine inches
across the chest. but when inflated it
measured fourteen inches. By suddenly
pressing the inflated body, the dead bird
Immediately gave out the loud call of
the bird when alive, the sound being
produced by means of the air passing
through the voice-box at the bottom of
the windpipe. The gannet can instan-
taneously extrude all this air fromss its
lungs, bones and feathers; and this en-
ables it to drop down from a height upon
its prey in the sea with amazing rapidity
Some years ago, one of these birds was
flying over Penzance, in Cornwall, when,
seeing some pilchards lying on fir
plank, in place for curing those fish, it
darted itself down with so much violence
as to stick its bill quite through an inch
and a quarter plank, and XIII itself OH

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.



1t is better to top-dress an old pasture
well set with grass than plow it up and
reseed it.
Plant few fruit trees Of every variety
every year and your orchard will never
be all old.
Dig the early crop of potatoes as soon
as the vines die down. Burn the vines,
as they may contain the potato-rot
fungus.
The best purpose to which coal ashes
can be applied in town or country is in
making garden walks. If well laid
down no weeds or grass will grow, and
by use they become as solid and more
durable than bricks.
Let no one pick fruit who has no
thought for the life of the tree and the
seasons that are to follow. We have
seen orchards that looked after the pick
ing as if hail-storm had visited it, the
limbs were so torn and broken.
The success of a fruit grower depends
upon solid reputation for honesty. Let
every package be as represented and like
every other of its grade. This will in
sure the confidence of the commission
merchants, the esteem of the consumers,
a ready sale of the fruit and an inward
satisfaction.
Farmers that have a supply of old
fence rails will find them Just the thing
TO place next their tomato plants to keep
the fruit off the ground. Place the short
pieces crosswise and the long ones on
top (lengthwise) each side the plants,
and you have the cheapest, if not the
hest, support of the kind to be found.
The Chinese are said to preserve
grapes for very considerable period
by cutting a circular piece out of ripe
pumpkin or gourd, making an aperture
large enough to admit the hand. The
interior is then thoroughly cleaned out,
the ripe grapes are placed inside and the
cover replaced and pressed in firmly.
The whole is then kept in a cool place.
New varieties of plants and trees may
be propagated by budding, which is, in
fact, kind of grating. Some trees do
not take gratis kindly, the stone fruits
particularly so, and these are usually
budded. To bud tree slit is made in
he bark in the desired placeof the shape
of I. A dormant or new bud is cut
from tree, the bark and thin slice of
the underwood being taken at the axil
of a leaf where a new bud is found. The
piece of bark cut off with the bud is
trimmed to fit the upper cut of the t
exactly and to lie smoothly under the
other part of the lark, which is loosened
by being raised with blunt, smooth in
strument. The bud with the shield of
bark is slipped under the loosened bark
of the stock, which is bound by figure

That is all The barks unite and the in
serted bud grows and becomes attached
