in Colorado is rapidly reaching a solution

ahead Of previous trespassers. The whole Indian
region is found to be very rich in minerals and this

A Remedy for NeuraIaia.

In all communities there are people
suffering from neuralgia, one of the
most annoying and excruciatingly pain
full ills which flesh is heir to. A Paris
correspondent of the Boston Courier,
referring to dangerous illness OF which
he was cured, says: "I mention this
illness that l may tell you how easily L
was cured. was bent double. L could
not breathe. My physician ordered me
to take fiat iron and heat it as hot as
L could bear, put double fold of flannel
on the painful part, and move the iron
to and fro on the flannel 1 was cured
as if by enchantment. My doctor told
me that some time since a professor in
one of our colleges, after suffering some
time with neuralgia in the head, which
he himself had tried to cure, sent for the
former, who prescribed hot fiat iron.
The next time the doctor saw the pro-
fessor the latter explained: Il had no
sooner applied the heated iron to my
head than instantly all pain vanished" ,"

Salt, Sulphur and Charcoal for Pigs.

We have observed that when pigs are
fed great deal Of hearty food, they are
fond OF salt and charcoal. Pigs are often
affected with indigestion, and the salt
and charcoal are good remedies. We
cannot well mix these things with their
food in the right proportion, and, more
over, it would not be best to attempt to
force pig to eat them unless it wanted
to, or else its appetite might be destroyed
and harm come from the experiment; /;
but by mixing the salt and charcoal
together, and putting them in a box
accessible to the pigs, they will eat no
more than they require. There is no
danger in putting either salt, charcoal
or sulphur, where the pigs can get them,
but to mix them in their food might
injure them, especially if one of them
should possess a voracious appetite.
Hogs will eat a considerable quantity of
sulphur, and it is exceedingly healthful
to them as purifier of the blood, and
to help them to get rid of the vermin
which infest their bodies inside and out
We want the pigs we are going to eat to
have plenty of sulphur, at least all they
will take. Their flesh makes better

Fall PIowlnu.


The better the preparation of the
ground the better the crop. The high
average yield of the English farm is no
doubt largely owing to the thorough
preparation of the ground before seeding.
Our climate is superior to that of Eng
land for wheat growing; yet yield of
GA bushels per acre is not unfrequent
among good farmers there, while here
40 bushels per acre is an unusual yield.
Two plowings, several harrowings, and
in many cases rolling or crushing: and
the excellent preparation of the soil by
a previous root crop must have much
better effect upon the soil than one
plowing, very poorly done, because of
the hardness and dryness of our soil in
midsummer, and very imperfect har-
rowing. 1t might be we'll for us to lay
out more labor on our wheat crop, and
so prepare the ground better, and raise
our average from II to at least 20 bushels
per acre. The difference in the amount
of wheat at harvest would pay for a good
deal of extra work in plowing, etc., and
yet leave a profit; besides, the soil would
not forget the generous treatment in
one year nor two.

The Potter Investigating Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA.
Henri J. Birch, Presidential Elector-at-large
of Louisiana, testified to the effect that he
signed the second set of certificates, having
been advised that there was informality In
the first SET He knew nothing Of the forgery
of signatures except what be had learned
from the newspapers and conversations
Thomas s. Kelley, who testified on the llth
was recalled, and, after much pressure, stated
positively that the name Of Joffrion was
forged, but was not quite so sure as to
that of Levisee. Witness stated that a
clerk in the Governors Office named d. p
Blanchard, now dead, forged the signature,
and that he was present when IL was done (;
said that II he could see the electoral certia-
Gates he could show the forgery of the name
OF Joffrion, as well as that OF Levlsee, as he
had made marks on them to prove this be-
yond doubt and to chow the committee the
men who did it. The certificates were shown
him by General Butler who requested him to
point out the marks. Witness replied that
the difference was in the handwriting and
make up; these were the marks. He desig-
mated no others.

of 150'of his warriors. The old chief,
in very grave tone of voice, and
without raising his eyes from the
ground, said "My people are sad at
heart since their brothers were killed
here some months ago. They are very
angry with the whites, and am nearly
certain they will not assist them"
Lieutenant Schuyler in as few words as
possible gave him an account of the
Cheyenne outbreak; how the Cheyennes
fired upon the soldiers in fleeing from
their prison room, killing them, and in
trying to punish the Cheyenne bucks
the squaws were accidentally killed.
Lieutenant Schuyler finally got the old
chief to say: Young Chief Lieu
tenant Dodd can go to my camp
and tell my son-in law, Young Man
Afraid of His Horses, that it is my
wish he would try and get some of my
warriors to help the Government in
capturing the Cheyennes." Lieutenant
Dodd, who is well known to Red Clouds 3
braves, started Immediately for Fine
Ridge Agency on his mission, with
what success we will soon learn.
1t is believed that Captain Johnson's s
command joined Vessels at the scene
of hostlities some time during the night
of the 18th. There has been nothing
heard from either commands since yes

THE DFARER-DEAD.

You mourn for your dead; you go,
Clad in your robes of woe,
To the spot where they sleep;
And YOU weep
Such bitter tears, and there
You strew flowers fresh and fair.
You place a white stone Mt the head,
Where, carven with sculptor's art,
We read your sorrow of heart,
And the dear name of your dead.
But there are dearer dead; you know
Not the bitterest woe
Till You close the eager eyes
OF sweet young Hope, till mournfulwise
You cross the hands of Love,
And sorrowing bend above
The ashes and dust
OF Honor, and Truth and Trust;
For these are the dearest dead.
o. these other deadl who dare
Robes of mourning for dead hopes wear?
Who bids a stone arise
To tell where dead Love lies?
When did ever a mOurner say,
Help me bury these dead awayl
These funeral trains men do not see;
They move silently
Down to the heart where the grave is made,
Where the dead is laid.
No flowers are strewn there,
Hear we no moan there;
No ritual is said
Over their bed.
Hidden from human sight,
The grave lies low,
But the solemn silent night
That doth know;
And u alone seeth the white
Face of our woe.
You are happy who mourn for your dead
by the side of graves kept green
BY the tears you shed;
Who can lean
Lovingly where they sleep.
Pray for those who in secret weep
The dearer dead.

Cheyenne Prisoners Attempt to Escape.

FORT ROBINSON, Neb., Jan. IA.
On Sunday night the Indians in the
bed of Indian Greek, on the Hot Creek
road, about twenty miles from this post,
seeing no avenue of escape, determined
to retain their present vantage ground.
Consequently, in anticipation of more
vigorous attack on the part of the
troops they further strengthened their
position by improvising rifle pits during
the night. At twelve o'clock the next
day twelve pound Napoleon gun was
brought upon the scene of action, but
owing to the nature of the position
assumed by the savages the gun
could not be sufficiently depressed
to play upon the position. A number
of shells and solid shot were thrown as
near as possible to the position occu-
pied, but with apparently no effect.
Affairs stood thus at dark on the night
of Monday the 18th. On Tuesday morn
ing, on making reconnaissance of the
ground held by the Indians on the pre-
vious day, the officers were informed,
to their dismay, that they had escaped
during the night. Owing to the troops
having no provisions on hand Vessels
found it impracticable to follow their
trail, consequently the troops have just
arrived in camp with view to equip
ping pack train and start on pro-
longed scout after the savages.
Fort ROBINSON, Jan. Is.
There has been temporary calm in
military movements for the past ten or
twelve hours. The fleeing hostiles en-
trenched themselves on mound on
White Clay, foiled the. troops, and at
night, there being no adequate force to
either force them to submission or keep
them from running away, they escaped.
When the troops next came up with
the desperate band, the latter had
taken possession of the natural mounds
for protection ON the North Fork of
Indian Creek. Here the troops aban-
doned the pursuit yesterday, return
ing to Fort Robinson to-day. Gen
eral Crook sent positive orders that the
pursuit of theeCheyennes be continued,
and Company E, Captain Lawson com
manding, left for the front. To-mor-
row Company H., Captain Vessels
commanding, will go forward, join
forces, and under command of the last
named officer the pursuit will be re-
sumed. The troops will be supplied
with six days rations.
There are fifty-two Indians, of which
there are but two squaws and children
in the fort prison. OF these there are
fourteen wounded, one old squaw, dying
tonight from the effect of six gun-shot
wounds. The captives state that while
they had no handin planning the escape
they are yet opposed to returning TO
the southern reservation. They claim
they were told when surrendering they
could remain here, where their parents
are buried and their children born.
Thus far no order has been received for
their removal, aside from the efforts of
the military made on the night of the
escapade 10 restrain the Indians.
Ed. Cooke and Dick Deer were
the most prominent doing their
share OF the killing Of Indians.
