THE DAYS DOINGS.
WASHINGTON NEWS.

The select committee of the house of repre-
sentatives appointed to examine the working,
progress, the application of appropriation,
etc, for improvement ofthe Mississippi riv-
er, are to charter suitable vessel and pro-
coed down the river from Cairo to New Or
leans, and thence to the gullieS at the South
Pass, stopping at such places as will aid the
members in prosecuting the work to which
they are assigned. The work of the COM
mittee will begin about the middle of No
yember.
Representatives from the southern states
interested in the levee work pledge their re-
spective states to supplement the govern
ment appropriation of $l,300,000
by a state fund, to be set apart fer
the work, and to turn the money over to the
board that the work may be prosecuted I'M
der one management. This is wise policy,
and meets with the appreciation of the COM
mission, the secretary of war and the en-
gineers in charge.
The chief of the bureau of statistics has
submitted his advance statement of the ex
port of provisions, tallow and dairy pro-
ducts for July. The statement for July as
whole is about 81, 1000 900 better than for
June, but the gain is limited practically to
one article exported, namely, cheese.
The friends of the father of his country
are paralyzed at the audacity of the signal
service bureaus proposition to use the
Washington monument for a signal station.
The structure is said to have cost $4,000, OOO
a rather expensive lookout for the signal
corps.
The congressional assessment committee
are actively engaged in the work of collect
ing funds to supply the sinews OF war dur
ing the coming campaign.
Although a vigorous search is continued,
nothing has yet been heard of Capt How
gate. His friends insist that he will show
up for trial.

head last month in Arizona in battle

where he was obliged to submit last week
to the terrible operation of removing his
right eye, which was completely destroyed

formed by DR.. Agnew, and is now def

location of which is unknown, is still
lodged in the head, the sight of the left
eye will be saved.

The Late Gen. G. X. Warren.

1t was known soon after the death of Gen
G. K. Warren that the financial affairs of
the household were in deplorable condi-
ton, entirely the result Of the great strain
upon the generals resources to pay for
plans of the ground which was the scene of
the battle of Five Forks, the collection of
testimony and the general expenses of the
court of inquiry. A committee to raise
formed. and it is expected that large sum
will be secured. Boston has already con-
tributed largely for the family of this unfor-
tunate soldier

Rumored Indian Troubles.

A serious outbreak of the Sioux at Pine
Ridge agency is threatened. They have
served notice on the government that unless
Agent McGillicuddy is deposed and certain
lily defined grievances satisfied, they will
proceed to assert their rights by force of
arms. The malcontents could muster four
or five thousand well-armed and admirably
mounted warriors, and unless they are paci-
fed, or their warlike spirit suppressed by
moral suasion, a bloody war may ensue.
The kindly offices of Gen. Crook have been
solicited, and he may be able to appease the
redskins. Red Cloud seems to be the princi
pal element of disturbance

EnSiIage,

The New England Farmer publishes
long and very interesting letter from its
French correspondent; treating of silos
and ensilage, the gist of which is that in
France the question has been settled
that ensilage is as much matter of
farm consideration as is the production
of any valuable crop. But it is stated
cised in the preparation of the ensilage,
in fact, that it requires more careful
manipulation, such attention, in short,
as our farmers are not in the habit Of
giving to their operations. Again, tie
with regard to the difference between
the small holdings of the French
peasant and the larger farms of
this country, as also between the prices
of grain and forage there and here. It'll
is precisely the question of commercial
fertilizers over again. Can one be sure
of results, and if SO, is the gain equiva-
lent to the cost? and the answer will be
yea or nay just according to the circum-
stances, skill and capital of the farmer.
In both cases, claims have been made
which were extravagantly absurd, and
in respect of both, there has been here
and there farmer who has been profit
Led by the new method. In these, as in
other matters, it is as wise to move mod
erately as it is to understand in the first
place as fully as possible all the factors
of the problem.
Fashionable Floor Covering.
Carpets now show improvements in
styles and patterns. Small figures are in
demand, and, in fact, large ones cannot
be found in the stores where ancient
stock is not kept. There was a time
when room of the ordinary fiat size
would show single figure complete. In
some of the patterns now shown small
designs are crowded together in wonder
full harmony of color and device. Many

ment. Borders are still used, and often
are wholly different from the body,
though harmonizing with it. A feature
of our carpet stores just now is the dis
play of Oriental mattings. Not only are
they bought to put down in summer res
licences. but they are coming into use in
chambers of city houses. A bedroom
provided with white~china mating With

is quite corret. Another thing for the cen

Girls Drowned in the Mississippi.

Last Saturday night Misses Lizzie and Ju-
liza Egan, aged respectively twenty seven and
twenty-five years, and were visiting with
their brother-in-law, George DAILY, who lives
on Gray Cloud island in the Mississippi
about half way between st. Paul and Hast
ings, went into Grey Cloud slough, branch
of the river, to battle, and the younger one
getting venturesome waded out into the
stream where the water was too deep for her
to reach the bottom, and as she could not
swim she began struggling and sinking. She
cried out to her sister for help, and Lizzie,
although she could not swim either, fearless
ly and with heroic forgetfulness of self
rushed to the drowning girls assistance. She
reached her just as she was sinking for the
beneath the treacherous waters. The girls,

A Mine of Magnetic Ore in St. Paul

IA Iuihc ol IAaShctlC orc HI ~ 0ui.
On boring Tor an artesian well on the
premises of the st. Paul Harvester works,
just outside the city limits in northeast di-
rection, the drill at a depth of t60 feet, struck
hard substance. The work was continued
till the drill had penetrated to depth of
fortytwo feet through this hard deposit,
nearly 600 feet below the surface, growing
richer and richer in iron as the depth in
creased. Meanwhile, the pulverized matter
brought up from the well, or drill hole, was
submitted to the examination of scientific
and practical chemists, and, as the general
results of the tests applied, confirmed by the
unerring testimony of the magnetic needle,
the conclusion has been reached
that underlying the premises of the
Harvester Works company is very
extensive bed of magnetic iron ore of the
highest and rarest quality-of quality
which is said to be essential to the manufac-
ture of Bessemer steel, but which is so rare
that very little of it is found on this contin-
ent, and it has to be imported from the old
world and even from the wilds of Africa.
This high grade magnetic ore is so valuable,
commercially, that the depth OF 600 feet at
which it is found is not regarded as at all
serious obstacle to its being profitably
mined
