An American who has been studying
the life, habits, and traits of the
Comanches, thinks that there are At
present from 10000 70 10000, Of whom
about ? 800 are warriors. Wholly no
madic, they have no villages or fixed
habitations, but roam and pluRder 500
to 900 miles from north to south, and
700 from east to west. They own large
herds Of horses and mules, obtaining
horned cattle only for their Immediate
wants, because they can not drive them
as fast as they want to move. All their
animals are procured by robbing the
Mexicans and Americans, and all the ir
wars are undertaken more for plumber
Of this sort than for any other purpose
They never take men prisoners, though
they kill and scalp them; but they car
~ of women and children; make wives
of the former, and rear the latter as
their own. They have never had any
permanent places of abode, as the abb
sence Of all mounds or tumuli in the
territory they range over clearly proves.
They seem to have been born on horse
back, where they do all their fighting,
and in attacking trains they always en-
deavor to stampede the ami
mails by cries and war-whoops
"A stampede rendering destruc-
ton OF train almost certain. II they
attack village, they kill every body
they encounter, and then drive of the
stock. The chiefs Of these Indians do
not inherit their authority, but acquire
i by superior knowledge, personal
bravery, or success in war Any social
disagreement is adjusted by council Of
chiefs and seniors Of the lodges: but
these disagreements are few, and family
fends are rare. Indeed, they live to-
gether more harmoni0usly than many
civilized people do. OF law they have
no notion, nor have they any c0ncep-
ton Of national policy. They never OBJ
serve treaties any longer than self-inter-
est prompts, in which they resemble
most enlightened peoples. Their reli-
gious ideas are very crude and indefin-
lite. In an evil spirit they d0 not be-
lievc, but ascribe both good and evil to
the good spirit. Their conception Of d
future life Is indistinct: but they hold
that men WHO have stole the most horses
aud taken the most scalps will have the
best chance Of happy hunting grounds
in another world. Fire i sacred with
them, and used in all their religious OBJ
seryances. Ties Of kindred are very
strong, and extend not only to relatives
BY blood. but BY marriage. Offenses
against any memHer Of family are
avenged by al or any one connected
with it. They are polygamists, some
chiefs having 10 or - wives. Infidelity
on the part Of a wife il punished BY cut
ting OF the nose, and the seducer Is
obliged 70 giveup his available property
to the injured woman.

Not Proud.

Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock,
two young ladies were seen marching
down Third Street, one leading and the
other driving cow. The Young ladies
were good-looking, dressed in the attire
Of country girls, and trudgoi along til
Manufacturers dry goods store, ON Third
Street was reached. Here they tied The
animal and disappeared in the store,
whereupon young man was seen 70
rush out Of the back door, and Il was
some time before be could be found
Upon making inquiries into this mystic
rious affair the reporter learned that the
young ladies were Miss Emma Fabcr,
daughter of Paul Fabcr, OF st. Paul and
Miss Mary Hendricks, OF Winona. They
were anxious 70 interview Mr.. Nathan
Lyon, in Manufacturers store, and this
was the reason: A few evenings since
Mr.. Lyon accused the young ladies d
being too proud TO stoop 10 the duties
Of farmers daughter, and promised 70
each $50 silk dress II they would per-
form the above act. So Yesterday morn
ing, attired in farmers daughters cos-
tune, they drove Mr. Faber's cow from
the barn, attached a rope, and while
Miss Faber led the animal, Miss Hem
bricks walked behind with broomstlck
10 hasten the trip. Without fear they
passed down Third, from the Seven
Corners TO Wabasha, there tied the boz
vine, and FASTENED TO receive their
wages. The young ladies would hardly
have been recognized in their impromptu
costumes by their most intimate friends,
and certainly not in the position IN
which they we're placed. But they won
the silk dresses, which will soon be
forthcoming, and the deed only prompts
the ungallant question, What wont

allotted in severalty to the individuals Of
the several tribes. the Territory organ
lied, allowed q Delegate in Congress,
and opened 70 settlement, and the In
dians themselves treated IS civilized
men and citizens. This is opposed by
some Of the leading men Of the several
tribes, who now have the manage
ment Of affairs, and naturally
prefer to continue the tribal organization
which gives them positions or influence,
ease and profit, and puts in their hands
the large sums Of money paid TO the
tribes annually by the United States
Government. These men with the half
breeds and low whites who have fled
from civilization from a preference, for
the condition of lawlessness and license
which prevails throughout the Territory,
making il sort Of Botany Bay for crimi-
mails and fugitives from justice, have work
ed upon the suspicious and jealousies
Of the Indian population until there is a
very general feeling Of opposition TO the
plan. You will find at Washington
during every session of Congress the
agents Of the tribes opposing every pro-
position for opeHing the Territory. their
services being paid for out Of the funds
OF the tribes, which it was expressly
stipulated should be devoted to educa-
tional purposes.

Nutmegs grow on trees which look
like pear trees and are generally over
twenty feet high. The flowers are much
like the lily Of the valley. They are pale
yellow and very fragrant. The nutmeg

thin covering over this seed. The fruit
y about AZ large as peach. When
ripe i breaks open and shows the little
nut inside The trees grow on the islands
Of Asia and In tropical America. They
bear fruit seventy and eighty years, hay-
ing ripe fruit upon them at all seasons.
A line tree in Jamaica has over 1000
niitmegs on It yearly The Dutch used 70
have all the nutmeg trade, as they own
ed the Banda Islands and conquered all
the other traders and destroyedthe trees.
TO keep the price up they once burned
three piles Of nutmegs each Of which
was as large as a church. Nature did
not sympathizc with such meanness.
The nutmeg pigeon. found in all the
Indian Islands, did for the world what
the Dutch had determined should not
be done---carried these nuts, which are
their food, into all tho surrounding
countries and trees grew again and the
world has the benefit.

Some Investigations have Just been
completed by two Chicago microscopes

DIR. William II. Belield, Demonstrate
of Physiology In Rush Medical College.
and Mr.. III. I. Atwood. Vice President
OF the State Microscopical Society ~
Illinois, were asked by the Comma
sioner Of Health, OF Chicago, DR.. lie
Wolf, to examine specimens Of pork
taken Mt random from the hogs being
slaughtered ut the different slaughterinc
houses. Specimens from one hundred
hogs were carefully examined, and N
eight trichinm were found, the number
varying according 10 estimate from
thirty-iiye TO thirteen thousand 10 the
cubic inch Of muscle. This Is doubtless
approximately the average Of infection
OF the pork brought TO Chicago for pack
ing. The tricLinous disease among
hogs--if disease it is--must be much
more prevalent now than ten or twelve
years ago. Then an examination Of
quite large number Of hogs in behalf
Of the Academy Of Sciences showed only
about one in fifty infected.

pcrimented with rats and other animals.

when il was killed. II was full Of live
trichinS which, Immersed in warm
water, would move vigorously--the es-
timated number in the rat being 100, 900.
During the six weeks the rat appeared
perfectly healthy. DIR. Beliield felt 90
bers Of the worms, that he made ia prac-
tical test by himself eating twelve iri-
chime three weeks ago. He has not ex-
perienced any unpleasant symptom TO
date. He believes large per cent. Of
our population are really infected with
trichinr Ii il a fact in confirmation
the theory Of these observers. that many
Of these infected hogs have received the
trichin:c without symptoms Of dis
ease, certainly without any damage
70 their iattening qualities. II is surely
impossible that eight per cent. Of all the
hogs raised for market could get sick
with symptoms approaching IN severity
those Of severe human infection, with
out such panic among farmers -
would be noticed BY the whole country.
Some experiments with different
agents used for the destruction Of the
worms showed that the best inexpensive
agent was sulphurous acid; very little
OF this acid, mixed with the brine in
which pork is preserved or picked, will
kill all the trichine, without, Of course,
any damage to the pork for any purpose.
The lowest per cent. Of the acid requir-
ed to be ctfectual has not yet been de-
termined. Medical Record.

A Visit to the ChAht = Tam aha-A Curious

Irish Governor.
Isaac ii. Bromley writes to the New
York Tribune Of q recent visit TO the In
dian Territory:
We were DESTROYS OF seeing more Of
the civilized Indians Of the Five Nations
than we could from the unsatisfactory
glimpse Of them from the train and At
the stations Indeed, they are quite
right who say that very little can be
learned about them from railroad trip
across the Territory Their homes and
villages are back several miles from the
lire Of the road, and the people whom
you see At the stations are mostly rail-
road employees, or white men who have
become Indians BY adoption, with here
and there half-brced. The Senate
Committee appointed to consider the
subject Of organizing the Territory IN
der the laws Of the GIFTED States were
at ST. Louis when we were there, in
tending 70 60 into the Territory TO take
testimony and see for themselves the

70 be able to accompany them. They
decided, however. TO postpone their ris-

According to this table, the following
is the order Of these breeds for butter
making: Jersey, Holstein, Short Horn,
ETC. For cheese making: Ayrshire, Ma
tive and Galloway. But there are other
questions 20 take into account before we
can decide which is the best breed for
the dairy, beside the composition Of the
milk.
Mr.. L. =. Hardin. in the Rural Ncw
Yorker Of December z, 1878, gives the
actual number Of pounds Of milk and
butter per annum got from herds Of the
various breeds. According to his state
ment the following would be the order
Of the breeds for butter. HoIsteiu, Ma
tive, Jersey, Ayrshire, Short Horn.
More statistics are needed before we can
arrive at any truth u the comparative
value Of different breeds for butter or
cheese. 1t Is to be hoped that ere long
dairymen who have the various breeds
will give up statements showing tho
average nnmber Of pounds Of buttor
made from their cows per annum, to-
gether with the cost Of the same. Then
we can draw some conclusion Of the
comparative worth Of the breeds for
butter or cheese. But until then we
must grope in the dark and only guess
where we ought to know. -Detros Free

The Unpaid Tax Interest.

letter has been addressed to the chairman
of the House District Committee by the
District Commissioners, in which they refer
to the letter of a taxpayer in this District,
complaining of the interest on unpaid taxes
which had been referred by the House commit
tee to tho Commissioners for their exami-
nation and remarks. The Commissioners state
in reference thereto that in their last annual
report they recommended to Congress the
passage of an act reducing the interest upon
delinquent general taxes to per cont. in all
cases where no outstanding tax lien was held
by third parties also that the rate of interest
upon unpaid special improvement taxes levied
under the act of the Legislative Assembly APP
proved August 10, 1871, should be reduced, In
all cases where no lien for said special tax Is in
the hands of third parties, to per cent.
The Commissioners respectfully renew their
recommendations. A bill to this effect was
prepared by the House committee and was
directed to be put upon its passage in tho last
House of Representatives. but the opportunity
did not offer. The bill further extended the
provision of the act of June 49, 1873, providing
for the revision Of special assessments, to the
pald-up assessments, n measure approved by
the District Commissi oners.
