HOW INDIANS FARM.

A gentleman Just up from Standing Rock
agency said that the Indians were engaged
in planting. In answer to an inquiry as to
how the reds were progressing in the peace
full ways of grangering, he smiled and said
their manner was odd. Every year they
seemed to know less about how to farm.
This is attributable to the fact that they are
learning the ways of the whites too rapidly.
They begin TO understand that as soon as
they can grow crops their rations will be
cut off and hence their growing ignorance of
agriculture. If they are given q bushel of
beans to plant they will eat nine-tenths of
the amount and plant one-tenth, and the
one-tenth will be dumped in three or four
holes in the ground. Last spring they were
furnished with five bushels of onion seeds.
They couldn't eat them, and consequently
planted the tire five bushels ON piece of
ground fifty by one hundred feet. They
were too lazy to prepare larger patch; be-
sides it would have been contrary to their
policy of maintaining the ration system.
When the onions came up it was curious
sight to see the young bulbs crowd each
other The whole dry, naked surface of the
grounds was raised up on top of the sprout-
ing plants. 1t is our informants opinion
that the present generation of Indians will
not make successful grangers r Bismarck

A ROMANTIC STORY.

The .nystery surrounding Dr. Levi Wilson,
of Uxbridge Mass, who has within the past
few years acquired great wealth and is now
the defendant in 100000 breach of prom
Use and seduction suS, has probably been
solved by WoonsocRet Reporter represent
tatiye, who has worked up the case Eight
years ago Wilson, then an operative in a
cotton mill in Uxbridge, left the village and
started on tramp for Worcester. In pass
ing through heavy tract of woods he came
across the hut of n sick hermit whom he
cared for. This hermit is alleged to be
the son of wealthy Worcester manufacture
er. fugitive from justice, who was reported
dead lie had, during his hiding, coiled
piece of wire, which was transferred to Viii
son and taken to Worcester, from which
originated the famous barbed wire fence
The . hermit . with the aid of Wilson soon
went to Europe, where he now resides, and
has since been visited by the latter. In adj
ditien tc some SOC, 900 received from one
of the FARMERS of the Worcester firm, it is
alleged Wilson has been paid fat remittances
for Ids care of the q hermit who, it is said,
is none other than said partners own son.
Both members of the firm have left Worces-
ter, it is alleged, to ayoiG further question
ing. A few weeks ago, Wilson promised to
give the secret of his later life to a reporter,
but soon after decided to withhold the facts.
The above, however, is believed to be the
true story.

A ToAp's CUNNING Charles White, of
New Castle, N. II. has brood of chickens
which have the run of IA portion of the yard,
the old hen being kept shut up. The
chickens are fed with mostened meal in
saueers, and when the dough gets a little
sour il attracts large numbers of flies An
observant toad has evidently noticed this,
and every day along towards evening he
makes his appearance in the yard, hops to n
saucer, climbs in, and rolls over and over
until he is covered with meal, having done
which he awaits developments The flies, en-
ticed by the smell, soon swarm. around the
scheming batrachian, and whenever one
passes within two inches or so of his nose
his tongue darts out and the fly disappears
and this plan works so well that the toad
has taken il up as regular business. The
chickens do not manifest the least alarm at
their clumsy and big-mouthed playmate, but
seem to consider it quite a lark to gather
around him and peck off his stolen coat of
meal, even when they have plenty more of
tho same sort in the saacers
