The Indian Dilemma.
New York Herald.


Sitting Bull wants to go home. He is
cold and hungry. His arrows are shot
away and his war paint is washed off. and,
if his words are fair indication, he is the
littlest big Indian of modern times. What
shall be done with him? Shall we open the
door and inYito him to come in and kill
any fatted calves that may be handy, or
shall we refer him to his White Mother, of
whom he declared himself SO extremely
fond few months since? An invitation to
come in and make himself at home would
be consistent with the theory that all his
acts we're justified by the treatment he had
received from the Indian authorities but
if we thus take sides with the savage in his
wrongs we ought to throw over the system
of administration that wronged him. It
would be triHe ridiculous for us to kiss
and embrace this savage as a victim Of the
Indian agency system and yet continue 10
deal with the Indians through the same
machinery. Perhaps it would be more than
ridiculous, FOR the agencies would OF course
cheat him again, and as we has. approved
his revolt there would be another revolt and
more bntchelies. It would be d good deal
safer to shut the door id the Indians face !;
to tell him We do not want him, that we
have got enough Indians already. He went
on his own account, let him stay on ours
and make himself comfortable If be can, aud
il he csnnot, TO die calmly - becomes red
stole. Brit If We replied thus the Bull
would como is soon ~ The grass gross IN
spite Of Us, and We have not got troops
enongh to stop him. Oar army i 70 small

icy toward this squalid savage.

Handling Sheep,
From the Western Rural.

Not. even the cow should receive gentler
handling than the sheep. Kindness is al
ways well repaid by any OF our domestic an
imals, but the sheep being SO shy an ami
NAL, it requires special exhibition of kind
moss. Ttshould be 80 handled and treated
as it will never become frightened at the
approach of person. Their treatment
shoald be such as that they will actually
learn to entertain an affection for their
keeper, aud if they do they will naturally
be tame and docile. A flock of wild sheep
is about the most improbable investment a
farmer can make. They are continually
getting themselves into some trouble, and
causing great annoyance, if not loss, to
their owner.
We have seen some hockmen jump into a
flock and pull and haul the sheep by the
wool until the animals were not only half
frightened to death, but suffered great in
jury otherwise. A sheep should never be
caught or lifted by the wool. Some one
has said that if any one doubts the impro-
priety of lifting a sheep by the wool, just
let him permit himself to be lifted by the
hair, and it is a good suggestion. When
sheep are thus caught or lifted, the skin in
some instances IS actually torn from the
flesh, and il the injury is not to that extent
it cannot but affect the flesh to some de-
gree. l=-.f .-.... "a.
A sheep should be lifted by placing the
arms around the body and near the forelegs.
This is the easiest way to do, especially
with large sheep. To catch the animal the
hands should be thrown about tho neck, or
else be caught by the hind leg immedi-
ately above the hook. The latter may be
done with the hand or the crook, and when
this is adopted the utmost gentleness should
be observed, and the sheep gently drawn
back until the other hand can reach the
neck. It is scarcely necessary to remind
the keeper that when the crook is used upon
the sheep which is closely surrounded by
other sheep, that great care must be exer-
cised lest the oshels jump against the one
caught or against the crook, in which case
severe damage may be do:.e.

BAYARD TAYLOR.

For us he wandered through strange lands and old;
We saw the world through him. The Arabs tent
TO him its storytelling secret lent,
And, pleased, we listened to the tales he told.
His task, beguied with songs that shall endure,
In manly, honest thoroughness h. wrought
From humble homclays to the heights of thought
Slowly he climbed, but every step was sure.
How, with the senerppa pride that friendship hath
We, who so loved him, saw at last the crown
OF civic honors on.his brows pressed down,
Rejoiced, and knew not that his gift was death.
And new for him, whose praise in deafened ears
Two nations speak, we answer but with tears
o Vale of Chesteri trod by him SO oft,
Green as thy June turf keep his memory. Let
Not wood, nor dell, nor storied stream forget,
Nor winds that blow round lonely Cedarcroft;
Let the home voices greet him in the far,
Strange land that holds him; let the messages
Of love pursue him over the chartless seas
And unmapped vastness of his unknown star
Loves language, heard beyond the loud discourse
OF perishahe fame, in every sphere
Itself interprets; and its utterance here
Somewhere in Gods unfolding universe
Shall reach our traveller, softenlng the surprise
Of his wrapt gaze on unfamiliar skiesl

Philadelphia Press;

Philadelphia Press;
Nj, Cornu recently exhibited before the
Academy of Sciences, at Paris, new elec-
tric light of q simplicity that defies comps-
tition. For few francs an electric light
is furnished by this system, which pre-
viously cost hundreds of francs. Tt is the
invention of Messrs. Ducretet & Co., the
celebrated manufacturers of physical in
struments. Without any mechanism it
works with perfect regularity until the
carbon is consumed. 1t can withstand the
rudest shock. It operates with remarkable
steadiness, projects the light to great dis
tasce and never goes out. It consists in
the employment of a column of mercury In
which one or more pencils are plunged.
The difference of density alone acts, pro-
ducing projecting force without any me-
chanical organ. This force can be regula-
ted when needed by uniting to. the lower
part of the crayons small mass, light or
heavy. The projecting force then becomes
strong or weak, at the option of the opera
tor; acting from below upwards 1t con-
stantly brings the crayons to their support
as they are consumed, and this without in
termission. If the projecting force is weak,
when the circuit is closed, it appears that
light repulsion is produced by means of
the repulsive action of the consecutive por-
tions of the same current; a small arc is
produced and part of the crayons ascomes
incandescent. The stronger the projecting
force the more feeble and imperceptible is
the arc, with more prolonged incandes-
cence. These two effects concur to the
same purpose. A pile Of d, 8, 10, Bunsen
already gives remarkable effects a strong
current can feed certain number of
these lamps. The arrangement OF
this lamp secures an equal resistance in
the circuit, whatever may be the length OF
the carbon pencils and their consumption /;
the part immersed in the liquid column
docs not intervene; that alone which
energies from it undergoes the action of
the current, and its length remains con-
stant. Without any complication one or
more carbon pencils OF amy desired length
and sections can be easily joined 10 the
same column, arrive at their support and
produce a luminous field. At will, and at
o distance, mannally or automatically,
these crayons, being ribbed, can b. Success
lively brought to their supporting point, ,and
lamp Of uninterrupted light and Of long
duration can be had. This is the simplest
form Of electric light that has yet been in
vented. 1t ii applicable TO both small and
large apartments, and its cheapness puts It
within reach Of everybody.

SONGS UNSUNG.

Let no poet, great or small,
Say that he will siEg song;
For Song cometh, if at all,
Not because we WOO it long.
But because it suits its will,
Tired at last of being still.
Every song that has been sang
Was before it took voice
Waiting since the world was young,
For the poet of its choice.
oh, if any waiting be,
May they come to-day to me!
am ready to repeat
Whatsoever they impart;
Sorrows sent by them are sweet
They know how to heal the heart;
Ay, and in the lightest strain
Something serious doth remain
What are my white hairs, forsooth,
And the wrinkles on my brow?
have still the soul of youth
Try me, merry muses., now.
can still with numbers fleet
Fill the world with dancing feet.
No, am no longer youLg;
Old am this many year;
But my songs will yet be sung,
Though shall not live to hear.
o my son, that Is to be,
Sing my songs, and think of me!
