AT the sale of pews at the new
Catholic Cathedral in New York, few
days ago, ffty-three were disposed of
for $12 ,525, the highest price paid being
50, 100. Only the right to choose pews
were sold, and the buyers are required
to pay an annual rent of from 800 to
$l60 for their use. We read in GER
tain book that the rich man cannot
enter the kingdom of heaven, but it is
getting 80 that only the rich man-and
woman-can enter our large and fash
ionable churches. The choice of seats
in the better world are not sold to the
highest bidder, we believe; and St.
Peter doesn't yell at the man in faded
check shirt, "Here you'll stand back
there, and don't crowd this gentleman
with diamond pin; and don't you see
you are treading on the train of that
lady's sikh If you haven't got re-
served seat ticket, go round to the back
gate" "-Norristoa0n Herald.

but having two acres of wild peppermint
that grew in field of wheat cut and
bound with the wheat, drove the rats
from my premises. l have not been
troubled with them since, while my
neighbors have any quantity of them.

troubled with these pests could easily
get rid of them by gathering good sup
ply of mint and placing it around the
walls or base of their barns"
ONE of our Brooklyn friends relates
that he has accidentally discovered
very efficient remedy for gapes in chick
ems. 1t is dry, caustic lime. One of
his chickens got the gapes; he caught
the fowl and with pen-knife dropped
some caustie lime that happened to
stand by into its throat, and let it go.
Nextd day the fowl had recovered. He
mentioned his success to friend of his,
who applied the same remedy to three
chickens with the gapes with the same
result.-Rural Nec Yorker.
THERE is no driving of the flock in
Spain. When the shepherd wishes to
remove his sheep he calls tame
wether, accustomed to feed from his
hands, and the favorite, however dis
tant, obeys his calls, while the rest fol-
low. One or more of the dogs, with
large collars armed with spikes in order
to protect them from the wolves, pre-
cede the flock; others skirt 1t on either
side, and some bring up the rear. If a
sheep be i'll or lame, or lags behind, un-
observed by the shepherds, the dog stays
| with and defends it until some one re-
turns in search of it.
EXPERIENCE with the Colorado beetle
should prompt the early planting of po-
| tatoes; also abundant manuring and
good preparation of the soil. The latter
often doubles the crop. An extra
! one hundred bushels of potatoes pei
acre are we'll worth working for. II
does not pay to plant large seed Small
well-ripened seed will be the most profit
able when its cost is considered. After
much observation, there appears to be
a difference In the crop from small and
large seed. Of course there is a limit
and potatoes as small as hickory nuts
are not referred to.
| WE occasionally see a query asking
for remedy for the cure of sheep thai
have been poisoned by eating laurel.
very simple remedy that cured severa
of my sheep two years ago, after they
had become so bad from the effects o.
| the poison that they could not get up
I made strong tea from corn-cobs anc
gave it to them. Their recovery com
menced at once, and was very rapid.

poison, and hope that any who are Sc
unfortunate as to have sheep thus
troubled will give this remedy trial

Indian Depredations.

The fair reader shudders when she
thinks of the settlers wife watching, from
the door of her rude hut, the retreating
form of her husband going out to his daily

may have laid him low among the prairie
grasses. Or it may be child, bright.eyed
daughter, is snatched away in an 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 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 oftencst
comes stealthily, and no danger is appre-
hended until the victim suddenly finds him
self hopelessly ensnared, and deaths fatal
arrow ends the scene. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, powerful Alternative,
or blood-purifer, and tonic, has restored

Cabinet Views of the Reynolds PO]ygamy
Case.
New YORK, June 14.-The Suns Washing
ton special says: At the Cabinet meeting
to-day the whole Mormon question came up
for discussion, and while no formal action
was taken yet the policy and position of the
administration was clearly indicated. The
subject came up in connection with the peti-
ton for Reynolds pardon. This petition
was accompanied by letter from Delegate
Cannon, addressed to the de tacto President.
Cannon says the case of Reynolds was test
case, set up by the Mormons themselves to
test the csnstitutionality of the anti -polygamy
laws that Reynolds himself was volunteer
defendant, put forward to represent the Nor
mon people. Cannon thought that owing to
this peculiar condition of facts, Reynolds,
representing the whole people, should be
pardoned.
Devins was of the opinion that as Rey-
nolds has employed every known means to
break down the prosecution and to put the
government to expense in securing his ulti-
mate conviction, he should suffer the full
penalty Of the law as embodied in his SEN
tence. Schurz and McCrary warmly ap-
proved this view, while Sherman and Evarts
were in favor of clemency. Key and Thom-
son took no part in the discussion. Key
favors pardon, but Thompson inclines the
other way. The general policy of the Admin
istration was also considered. Hayes desires
to do what he can to uproot the institution of
polygamy, and as indicated in his talk to-day
will do all he can to accomplish that object.

CLOUD BURST.
c..at Loss of Life and Destruction Of
Property.

nrApwooD, June 14.-At Buffalo Gap,
Thursday night, by the sudden rise and over
aow of Beaver creek, caused by water
.nout. eleven persons were drowned. Their
names were Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Rhodes, Oliver
Rhodes. Frank Reed, Clyde Rhodes, Cliff
Rhodes, and Maud Rhodes-the latter three
children-all emigrants on their way to the
Hills from Mills county, Iowa, and four men
going from the Hills to the railroad, names
unknown. Two were team owners, one pas
cenger and a night herder. Five minutes
from the first alarm the whole country was
flooded, and the water subsided almost as
suddenly as it rose.
Further particulars of the cloud-burst near
Buffalo Gap Thursday evening, obtained from
passengers on this evenings coach, show that
the water commenced raising about o'clock
in Beaver creek, one mile this side of Buffalo
Gap station, on the Sidney stage road, and
about 90 miles from Deadwood. Near the
banks of the creek were camped party of
seven persons from Mill county, Iowa, four
from the Black Hills, and Montgomery Bros.
and Clark's freight outfits, loaded with 40, 900
pounds, principally Homestake machinery,
which was nearly all destroyed and scattered
for miles around. All the wagons. with one
exception, were also destroyed, and only a
few mules were saved. No estimate can be
made of the loss at this writing. Eleven
persons were drowned, seven of whose names
we're given in a previous dispatch. Four
bodies have so far been recovered. The wa
ter covered a space forty miles wide, and
subsidized within two hours after the rise.
Fragments of wagons, etc., were seen three
to five miles from the scene of the disaster.
All the creeks in and around the hills are un-
usually high.

Different Views on the Silver question

Different Views on the silver question
New YORK, June 14.-The Tribune to-day
prints letter from Thurlow Weed on the
silver question. He believes great change
has taken place in public sentiment on this
subject, and asserts that resumption could not
have been accomplished except for the silver
bill. lie says: marvel that no one of the
prominent men in Washington credited with
presidential aspirations have not discovered
that by increasing the purchasing power of
silver and thereby Fastening our return to
national prosperity they would render service
to the country which would be gratefully ap-
preciated and abundantly rewarded.
The Tribune also prints the letter Of A.
Williamson, which it commends to careful
attention, as the utterance of one of the most
conspicuous of English agitators for the re-
vival of the double standard in Great Britain
Williamson says, regarding the recent rise in
silver, that the relative production of the two
metals has nothing to do with it. Monetary
legislation, or the prospect of it, may have
caused the rise, but nothing except interna-
tional accord can now render silver money
internationally serviceable. 1t is quite posi-
ble that there may be ere long further devel-
opment of the gold and silver production in
this country. Many are expecting new lodes
in the Comstock mines at a great depth.
From all that can learn there may be con-
siderable development of the mining indus
try and production in Colorado and also in
Arizona very shortly. But such contingen-
cies have nothing to do with the question as
the necessity or otherwise for the continued
international use of both gold and silver as
money. If the world answers that question
in the affirmative, it must then proceed on
the lines of establishing fixed ratio between
the two, irrespective of problematical varia-
tions and vicissitudes of mining industries
and production.
