The fair reader shudders when she
thinks Of the settlers wife watching, from
the door of her ruds hut, the retreating
form of her husband going out to his daily
~labor-going out perhaps to return not
again; for before nightfall a savage hand
may have laid him low among the prairie
grasses. Or it may be a child, q bright-eyed
daughter, is snatched away in IN unguarded
moment, to grace the next war dance.
When we read the heartrending details Of
these savage depredations, we are apt to
blame the Government for not taking more
strict precautions to insure the settlers
protection. But we daily read of the depre.
dations of that arch.fend, consumption,
with scarcely a thought of the terrible in.
roads it is making in human life. Tens Of
thousands of homes are annually desolated
by consumption to one by Indian outrage
Like the Indian, consumption oftenest
comes stealthily, and no danger is appre
hended until the victim suddenly finds him.

VETO OF ,hs p1.r.hal., nlr1.

Veto of the darshals' Bill.
The President in his message vetoing the
bill making appropriations to pay fees OF
the United States Marshals and their Depu'
ties, says no objection is made to that part
OF the bill which appropriates money for the
support ofthe Marshals-and their Deputies.
The bill contains, however" says the
President, "other provisions which are
identical in tenor and effect with the second
section of the bill entitled AN act making
appropriations for certain judicial expen.
ses,' which on the 23d of the present month
was returned to the House of Representa-.
tives with my objections to itc approval. The
provisions referred to are as follows:
"'Section2 2. That the sums appropriated in
this act for the persons and public service
embraced in its provisions, are in full for
such persons and public service for the ifs.
cal year ending June 80, 1870, and no de.
partment or officer of the Government shall
during the said fiscal year make any con.
tract or incur any liability for future
payment of money under any of the pro.
visions of Title 26, mentioned in
this act, until an appropria'
ton sufficient to meet such con.
tract or pay such liability shall have
first been made by law
upon reconsideration in the House
of Representatives of the bill which CON.
tanned these provisions, it lacked the con.
stitutional majority, therefore failing to
become a law. In order to secure its enact.
ment, the same measure is again presented
for my approval, coupled in the bill before
me with appropriations for the support OF
Marshals and their deputies during the next
fiscal year. The object manifestly is to
place before the Executive this alternative,
either to allow necessary functions of q
public service to be crippled or suspended
for want of appropriations required to keep
them in operation, or to approve legislation
which, in official communications to Con
gress, he has declared would be violation Of
his constitutional duty. Thus in this bill
the principle ia clearly embodied that by
virtue of a provision of the Constitution
which requires that All bills for raising
revenue should originate in the House Of
Representatives. a bare majority of the
House of Representatives has the right to
withhold appropriations for the support Of
the Government unless the Executive CON
sents to approve any legislation which may
be attached to appropriation bills.

Horror.

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial from Fremont, Mich, says: A
terrible tragedy took place near this
city, q few days since. Ira Cogswel was
Superintendent of the Greenwood Ocean
Company and administrator of the estate of
Joseph Stebbins. Interested parties were
working to have him removed from the
executorship. This worried him, and as
the settlement which was about
TO take place would have probably found
him u~npreparsd, he had told some persons
that he would show the Judge of Probate q
trick with 9 hole in 1t, and he did. &c told
his wife he was going to kill himself, and
told her to get ready to die, but she pleaded
that she was u~nprepared, and he excused
her for q few minutes, while he gathered
the Stebbins estate papers and some
money, about $500 altogether, the town.
ship books, ETC., which he placed in the stove
and burned. BE then poured kerosene over
the premises and set it on FIRE. His wife
seeing that he could not be deferred from
his terrible. work, escaped from the house,
and he followed her and tried to persuade
her to die with him, but used no violence.
She refused to join him, and then hinging
her a pocket-book of her own, stepped back
into the house and locked the door, and was
consumed in the house. The Coroner's in.
quest has been held, and rendered q verdict
in accordance with the above facts. Singu.
larry enough, many of his neighbors think
he was sane, and did it rather than face q
settlement of the Stebbins estate.

TOPICS FOB FARMERS.


Sensational Farming.-The Rural
New Yorker thinks that some injury is
done to plain, simple-minded folk by the
reported statements of enormous agri-
cultural enterprises in California, Min
nesota and Dakota, with vast profits
growing out of the fabulous operations.
One Californian farms, or rather skins
forty-fve thousand acres yearly by Sow
ing wheat. His harvest is said to have
produced nine hundred thousand bushels
of wheat, netting him seven hundred and
sixty-ive thousand dollars in one year.
One would suppose this man wouldhaye
realized a moderate competence at least
out of his years operation but we
now learn that after ten years exciting
business, he owes about a million dollars
and is practically a bankrupt; " land
poor" with a white elephant, which he
can neither keep nor let 60, on his hands.
So in the Northwest, we have had re-
ports OF great tracts of land sown to
wheat and large sumsof money realized.
But we are slow to think of the expenses
and waste of this sort of agriculture, of
the large capital required to produce a
crop; of the enormous interest on loans
needed to carry on the business and meet
current expenses, or on the inevitable
final result of ruined land, barren fields,
wasted opportunities and ageneral wreck
which alone is left behind of the base
less fabric of a grand vision. It is a
great gambling transaction the weather,
season and markets being the largest
which are risked, and possible success,
barren at the best; a cheap notoriety, OF
final ruin, are the alternatives. 1t is
we'll that the facts should be known, and
that these glittering stories should be
understood, as mere speculative ventures
in which there is but one ending, and
that a grand crash, a mountain of debt
topping oyer and crushing the whele
fabric Spectators, farms, crops, armies
of laborers, troops of horses, park Of
machinery; all of these involved in one
general ruin. This has been, will be
and must be, the end of this iliegitimats
use of the bountiful soil which is made
to pour out its life in a few short year,
of wasteful, riotous agriculture.

The sulro FUNNEL.

On the night of June 80 the mountain tops
overlooking the Washoe silver region and
the Carson Valley were ablaze with bon.
fires, and the echoes of cannon and dis
charges Of giant powder were heard in every
direction. The event which was be-.
ing celebrated was the final
completion of the Sutro Tunnel,
for the reception of the water from the
Comstock mines, after ten years ceaseless
labor, day and night, and the expenditure of
S~6,000,oO0. The powerful engines Of the
combination shaft of the Hale & Norcross
and Savage mines were started up ON the
morning of the 30th, at precisely six o'clock,
discharging their water into the Sultro Tun.

At Lake Quinsigimond, Massachusetts,,
lately, the steamer Isaac Davis, loaded with
passengers, careened, and her hurricane
deck broke off and scores of passengers
were thrown into the lake. There were
about two hundred passengers OF the boat,
one hundred being on the hurricane deck.
and there was nc opportunity to get of.
Others rushed ON the hurricane deck,
aud as they did so the Davis careened
over away from the wharf, and caused
the crowd to rush to that side and
threw the struggling rass into the water.
As the boat gave way the roof of the upper
deck came crashing down on the engine,
and broke off the safety-valve, causing the
steam to rush out, and adding new terror.
The boat rolled over more, catching the gun.

Nowadays, says New York paper, u pub
lie marriage in upper New York is not con-
sidered complete until the couple have been
driven to the nearest fashionable hotell aud
have passed at least week within its walls.
This custom has grown out of II little innocent
deception practiced by the happy couple in
former times. Heretofore, after the reception
and they had been escorted to the carriage,
the door slammed TO with bang, and the
coachman told to Drive to the Pennsylvania
depot" or the "Grand Union" the carliag e
had hardly gone block before the window
was put down and the groom, mailing the
driver. would ask where did they tell you
to goT "To the Pennsylvania depot, sorr."
Pennsylvania depot Pshaw! Drive TO the
Buckingham |" And to the Buckingham they
were wirled accordingly. For years this
clever little deception has been practicod by
young bridal couples, without any one except
the hotel proprictors and the coachman being
in the secret. OF late, however, the practice
has become so popular and so widely known
that the affection of wedding tour is only
kept up for the sake Of appearances. "Phila-
delphia" and Boston" in the vocabulary OF
Hyinen, have come 10 mean "Gilsey" and
