FOOLISH Political Predictions.

4. NEW York, Nov. 19.-The Herald says of
the Solthe, n Grant movement: Eve do not
like the intelligence we receive on this sub
ject, but that is no reason why we should
withhold. or disguise, or color, or distort it.
We need not say that we deprecate the nomi-
nation of Grant as dangerous to our free in
stitutions ; but if the Southern Republican
delegates should be solid for Giant this dan
ger will have to be met and parted by the
people after the nomination is made. @'
The Isibane's Washington special says:-
'tIt is believed the Southern men are prepared
to attempt TO obtain control of the Presidency
at the next election by throwing out the vote
of the Republican States in the electoral pro-
ceedings at the Capital"
A Herald correspondent writes !: "Having
just returned from a six weeks tour am long
the people of the South, during which / en-
joyed special opportunities, both social and
personal, for observing the drift of popular
opinion, I am compelled to say, as a mere
matter of simple truth, that the recent edit
orial suge question in the Herald of the possibility
of Grant being in certain contingencies the
favorite Presidential candidate of a large por-
ton of the Sou hern people is strictly correct.
To my utter amazement l have found Grant
as the possible President for the next term
freely and favorably canvassed by representa-
tive Southern men of all classes and profess
sions. The writer sums up his conclusions
and classes the Southern States, SO far as Gen.
Grant is concerned, about as follows:
"North Carolina, South Carolina and Flor
ida, probably for Grant.
alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and Ken
lucky, certainly against Grant. ~
"Virginia, Tennessee and Texas, doubtful
for Grant as against Bayard or a strong Dem
ocrotic candidate but probably for Grant as
against Tilden or other Democrats"

THE LOS PINOS FARCE.

If a band of white outlaws, too lazy 10
earn their own living, should start on a
%marauding expedition, destroying everything
in their way and mercilessly Strengthening all
who should fall into their power, not even
sparing helpless old age or innocent childhood,
a sure and terrible retribution would be visit
ed upon them by an outraged people and The
government would exhaust every resource to
procure their capture or determination Yet
the Ute Indians have just planned and sue
c~essfully executed a raid of that identical
nature and what course has the government
pursued? 1t dispatched a few companies of
troops who, after a long and dangerous march
during which their numbers were deciInated
in several battles, finally corne,ed The savages
into a position where resistance would have
been futile. However, just as they were
about TO avenSe the death Of their comrades
and to infict deserved punishment on the
r~enegades for their cold blooded atrocities,
orders were received from Washington TO
cease operations as overtures for peace had
been made by the reds and further
hShCliS SOulu llhClS NC a Oiucu IL dppcdlS
that the situation becoming too warm for the
government wards, they determined to bring
about a cessation of hostilities, and to the in
dignation of the whole people The govern
ment at once acceded to the proposition to
hold a council. Accordingly, for the
last few days, at the Los Pines
agency, a "peace" congress, composed of
some weak minded government officials and
several of the most notorious and mulderous
savages of the Ute nation, has been in session
forthe purpose of conducting an investigation.
The commissioners, with the solemnity of
owls, are engaged in the unreasonable effort
to cause Two of the most guilty desperadoes
in the tribe to criminate themselves by ad-
missions of completely in recent massacres.
Blu these immaculate sons of the forest
grow indignant at the imputation of guilt.
According to their testimony they are totally
unaware that hostilities have existed. For
months they have been living in peaceful do
nestle retirement, cultivating the arts of civ
ilized life and educating their children to a
sense of their religious duties! They stand
up and lie by the hour like a Mormon elder,
and with such audacity and nerve as CON-
pletely to confound the Sunday School peace
commissioner who are already discouraged
at the slight prospect for a successful termina.
ton of the council.
1t is easy in the light of past experience to
foretelI the result of this farcial proceeding
The commissioner will send their findings tc
the authorities at Washington, alleging The
utter impossibllity of e~liciting testimony in
the council tending to criminate the guilt,
parties, and Secretary Schurz will order the
report to be carefully bound in red tape ant
secreted in the department safe. That will
be the end Of the Ute outbreak.

five divisions and was one hour passing a CIV
en- point. Gen. J. J.Crittenden was The chief

Hollister thinks the seed was brought

It seems very strange, indeed, that no

RICE, OR EGYPTIAN CORN. .

As the facts in relation to this new
cereal are new, and so curious and in
teresting, they are here given in de-
tail. Mr.. Hollister bought, couple
Of years ago, a ranch of some 1900
acres, three or four miles south of
Kinsley, OH the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway. Kinsley is situa
ted in the valley of the Arkansas, in
what is often called the .'dry belt, .
three hundred and sixteen miles west
OF Kansas City, and about the same
distance east of Pueblo. Mr.. Hollis
ter's son and son-in law occupy the
place. Last year a neighbor of the
Hollister ranch raised some of the rice
corn, and his success induced Deacon
Hollster to recommend its introduc-
ton to his ranch. He had forty acres
of sod turned over last spring, and
having procured several quarts of the
seed, with an ordinary seed planter he
deposited two or three grains foot
or two apart in the Sod There had
not been drop Of rain for the previ-
Gus eight months, and it did not ram
for eve weeks after the planting, yet
the seed terminated. The corn

do (Staked Plains) burning up the
grass and every green thing in the
gardens, scorching IKE blasts from a
furnace, aud yet it did not affect the
newcomer from Egypt particle. 1t
grew right along in spite Of the heat
Then the rain came on, and the sturdy
grain was equally Indifferent to that
1t grew right on, and ripened about
the first Of September, yielding, Dea-
con Hoilister thought, some so bush
els to the acre, weighing 60 pounds to
the bushei. The stalk for some three
feet from the ground is about as large
as a mans coat sleeve, and is perfect
wood This in all the treeless region
east of the mountains is
A MOST IMPORTANT FACT,
As an acre or two will furnish fuel for
family for an entire year. From the
top of the woody substance issues a
stalk, on the top of which a tuft some
thing like that Of sorghum issues; this
soon drops over, and the whole bunch
is one mass Of grain. The kernel is
about the size of grain of wheat,
perhaps little smaller, and more
nearly round. Each one is enclosed
in shuck. or independent capsule
The grain can be ground into an ex-
cellent -four, from which bread and
other food can be made; it can be
boiled and eaten as rice and cracked
wheat, and in fact can be used for any
purpose for WHICH our ordinary cere-
ais are employed. a neighbor of Dea-
con HOLSTER, who raised small crop
last year, assured him that it fattened
his pigs faster than he had ever known
common corn or any other feed to do
it.
