The Ute Indians have gone to their
new reservation. AS soon as they left
the old reservation the whites crowd
ed in, and in one day claims covering
twenty miles of land were staked out.
The scenes in the Indians camp on
the night preceding their departure
were narrowing in the extreme, the

parted relatives they were to leave be-
hind, while the bucks sat stolid
around the camp fires.

has among its cOnvicts a lightning
calculator named James Nolan, but

no education, he is at home among

figures is sufficient to enable him to
give the footing. If standing before
a blackboard while another persons
is putting down figures, he will be
ready with the sum total when the
last stroke is made, no matter how
rapidly one may make them.

How to Increase southern wealth.

The Natchitoches Oa.) Vindicator
wants the South to adopt new methods
in agriculture. "The wealth and
prosperity of this community" it saws,
''can never be realized so long as cot
ton and nothing else is produced, nor
will we ever be populated until we
agree to part " ith our now useless
and expensive uncultivated lands.
Natchitoches parish is nearly as large
as Rhode Island, and far richer in
natural soil and climate. Yet Rhode
Island has population (1S7O of 2ll,-
353 souls, and a property valued at
$l33, l96,4S0, while Natchitoches does
not produce enough TO sustain her
population. Louisiana wants farmers
who will own the land they cultivate,
and until she gets them of that class
she viii drag on, miserable spectacle

CRIB and an Ohio smoke-house.

Let every farmer, whether blessed
with an abundant crop or cut short by
the drought, prepare for a severe
winter and high prices. Waste food
of no kind; feed stock judieiouslv !;
sell off the surplus; husband every
resource; don't sell more feed than
you can we'll spare, because prices
may be higher than ordinary before
you sell, make a close calculation how
much you can spare, and don't dis
pose of any more. There never was
a time in our history when the far
mer confronted so grave a crisis as
that which is now before US.
