beef, l buy round of bright color and
tender, weighing 10 or - pounds, which
may be always had for 10 cents a pound,
and which gives good steaks from the
best cut, and roast not to be despised.
Fresh beef kidneys are 10 cents apiece,
and one furnishes dish for three per
sons. The mutton stalls have small
lots of tenderloins, juicy, tender little
bits, full of flavor, which, if their value
were appreciated, would rank as deli
cacies, but which can always be bought
for to 10 cents a pound. Breasts of
mutton which serve as epigrammes or
for stuffed and baked dish, are TO be
had for and cents pound, and the
broad shoulder chops l can always find
freshly cut from 10 to II cents pound.
Fresh cut pieces of beef for boiling, not
scraps, but three-pound pieces, with
very little bone, are never above s cents

at all the stands, but l always find them
by looking for them, and | never deal at

the meats bright and well kept. In
Winter, l buy weeks supply at a

peck. Carrots, beets and onions are

courage poor people in any business

Dakota Wheat Fields.

OF the four hundre million bushels
of wheat produced in the United States,
by far the largest portion is sown in the
Fall, and is called Winter grain. The
varieties are conditioned by soil and
climate, the latitude Of Milwaukee mark
ing in general the northern boundary Of
Winter wheat.
The area suited for the production of
wheat sown in the Spring hitherto has
been of limited extent, but there is al
undeveloped section of the country so
wide and far reaching that it may be re-
garded as the great Summer wheat field
Of the future. Its capabilities are so
vast, and the insurance of production
so certain, that the millions of the Old

In August, 1869, the writer of this

ground of the Sioux, where through by
gone ages they chased the buffalo and
fought the Chippewas. The valley of
the Red river was a vast expanse. No
hill, no gentle undulation, nothing but
the fringes of trees along the streams,
bounded the sight. 1t was a reach of
prairie unbroken by the plow. Our own
voices, or the song of meadow lark,
plover and curew and other fowl, alone
broke the solemn and oppressive still
ness of the solitude. At Georgetown
the Hudson Bay Company had reared a
house, and two or three settlers had set
up their cabins upon the banks of the

Old New York and the Indians

Mr.. Douglass Campbell, one of the
most devoted students of the history of
the State of New York, who is engaged
upon work Of original research illus
trating it, read an exceedingly interest
ing paper the other evening before the
Historical Society upon the Indians in
colonial New York. His paper is a
striking presentation of the claim that
the colonial policy OF New York was
not only Just to the Indians, but that it
was of the utmost value to to English
ascendency upon this continent, and to
the Union. The colonists " simply
treated the Indian as a man." They took
nothing but by purchase, and their land
titles were respected, because for their
lands they had Indian deeds. The
Dutch colonists were traders, and made
no pretense of missionary work. After
the English conquest the Indians placed
their lands under the protection of the
crown During the French war the col
onists defended them against the French
and during the Revolution the Indians
were the allies of Great Britain, and for
the first time made war upon the colo
nists.
Except for this policy Of the British
colony, which secured the alliance of the
Six Nations who remained faithful, it
is not impossible that France might have
won in the great contest of more than a
century.which was waged with England
for the control of the continent, and
which Mr.. Parkman is so brilliently and
exhaustively narrating in his historical
series of France in America.
Mr.. Campbell shows further how this
colonial Indian policy affected the
Union. The Six Nations and their land
west of the Alleghanies had always been
recognized by the other colonies as be-
longing to New York. But when the
articles of confederation were to be
signed, Virginia and Massachusetts and
Connecticut claimed the territory under
various charters. Maryland refused to
join the confedcracy until the dispute
was settled. Then New York, with
patriotic magnanimosity, presented the
northwest territory to the Union, and
the confederation was completed by the
accession of Maryland. The three
States still maintained their claim, but
q committee of Congress reported that
the sole title was in New York, and that
her deed would vest it wholly in the
United States This is an exceedingly
interesting chapter of the annals OF New
York, and Mr.. Campbell is plainly the
man TO complete the history which Mr.
Broa lhead unfortunately left unfinished.

EDITOR LEDaER:-His exoellency,

the democratic party paid n~ine-tenths
Of the taxes, and fright should settle

differ with the governor a little. 1t is
plain to my mind that the laboring and
consuming class of citizens pay the
tax. First, because there is no law to
prevent the merchant or property.
holder from drawing on them at will
to meet their obligations, consequently
this state debt question is one that
agitates greatly the minds of the poor,
especially we colored people. A great
many Of us know that these bonds
were created without our knowledge
or consent, and, therefore, are I'M
willing to b. compelled to alone pay
them. If neither of the c~ontending
parties advocating their payment in
full do not promise forthwith to enact
some law by which the poor will be
protected from the extravagant de-
mands of the property holders, mer-
chants and Others whose wealth
enables them to hold a commanding
position by which they may draw on
the poor people the amount desired
to meet their tax demands,
we will be compelled by
every law of selfpreservation to cast
our votes for the low tax ticket. Our
race here has derived no benefits from
their assurances in the past, aud GER
tainly cannot expect any in the future
by voting no restriction for this
enormous debt upon themselves, /

so by God and Lincoln, but l cannot

misery that must follow If their advo-
Gates are successful. | will say to the
colored people: You who constitute
the labOring and producing class,
upon whom all life depends, you who
have homes in the city of Memphis,
and have realized the results of the
present rates Of taxation here, with a
likelihood of doubling them in order
to meet the bonded debt Of Memphis,
which they say must be paid you
have witnessed the condition of our
people, hardly able to provide for
themselves the simple necessities OF

MY DEAR SIR-The political out
look in Tennessee, for the democratic
party, so far as state officers are con-
cerned, is not as lattering as we desire.
While there is no doubt but Tennessee
will give Hancock a majority, yet l
fear, on account Of the split In the
democratic party, that Hawkins may
be our next governor, and perhaps an
increased number Of republican mem
beers in our next general assembly,
who, by uniting with the high tax
element in the democrat party, may
impose upon us a settlement OF our
state debt that would be very Oppres-
sive to the people.
am fully satisfied now that Wilson
is stronger than Wright, and for the
sake Of the harmony and the success OF
the party, | think Wright should be
