Rowley was loudly called for, but he contented
himself with offering Lieutenant Commander
Salzman, of Missouri, as his substitute. Major
Salzlnan expressed his qualification at having
an opportunity to be present at such meeting
that it was great pleasure to know that the
sons were filling up the places of their fathers
as the veterans gradually died away; for him
self he had the honor to be veteran, the son
of veteran and the father of son of a vet

mander-in Chief G. 7. Clark, of the Department
of Ohio, made congratulatory speeches, which
were interspersed with music by fine quar-
tette. Adjutaut D. T. Pugh, in his speech
said that such organizations were schools OF
patriotism, and he would rather be the son OF
a veteran than the heir of the highest titled
prince IN Europe. BUCKEYE.

HISTORY OF GUNNIsoN MINING.

From Dr. Jennings we learned that, although
placer mining was engaged in as early as 166l,
the first lead was struck in the Gunnison re-
gion in 1874, and the mine located by Thomas
Kinder I4o Inman, and Thomas Il. Waite, two
of whom were native Americans, from Mis-
souri, and the other from the Yorkshire hills
in England The mine they located and which
proved very valuable, was known as The
Whopper," and drifts, tunnels and shafts have
been sunk in all directions for the washing of
the precious metals. But poor fellows, though
they struck it rich, they had hard lot. In-
man was killed by land slide in February
last; Kinder was killed by the Mexieans, while
on trip to the Mexican country, and only
Waite is left to reap the reward of long and
patient toll. Both Inman and Kinder leave
families in whom their rights are vested.
In 1877 there was a large influx of miners,
locating and working solitary claims. but it
was not until 1879, at the time of the overflow
of the LeadvilIe excitement that the country
began to take boom -Gnnnison being on the
west slope of the continental divide, I.eadville

built in 1878. Then sprang up smart collec-

How to Pluck Poultry.

Journal of Horticulture I have
known persons on market day to 90
out and kill twelve or fifteen fowls,
and to bring them into a room where
there would be half dozen women
and boys pulling a few feathers at a
time, between the thumb and forefnger,
to prevent tearing them. Now for the
benefit of such | will give our plan
Hang the fowl by the feet by small
cord then, with small knife, give
one cut across the upper jaw, opposite
the corners of the mouth after the
blood has stopped running a stream,
place che point of the knife in the
grove in the upper part of the mouth,
run the blade up into the back part of
the head, which will cause a twitching
of the muscles. Now is is your time,
for every feather yields as if by magic,
and there is no danger of tearing the
most tender chick. Before he attempts
TO flap you can have him as bare as the
day he came out of the egg.

he should give to the discharge of its
duties the assiduous attention which il
related of him. But it is greatly TO his
credit that he so ftly discharges this
act of respect to his revered fathers
memory and to the community of

not commendable feature of the new
constitution that in so many counties
of the state entitled to be separate
judicial districts the office has been
abolished and this connecting link be-
tween the legal judiciary and the peo-
pie has been broken. In counties where
there is now but single Judge, he has
such unlimited absolute powers in mat

to any other public Office under our
governmental system, and it would be
much better to have his powers tenn

men, in matters where strong common
sense and practical knowledge of ev-

of legal lore.
TO be sure in many counties where
the office is still in existence the men
who are elected to the place are not
chosen with regard to their fitness for
it but this is no more reason for con-
demnation of the institution than is

valid argument against the jury sys.

COFFEE AS A CURE FOR MALARIA
Coffee Is opposed to malaria, to all nox-
ious vapors. AS disinfectant it has
wonderful powers As an instanta,
neous deodorizer it has no equal for
the sick room, as all exhalations are i'm
m ediately neutralized by simply pass,
ing chatting dish with burning coffee
grains through the room. 1t may be
urged that an article possessing such
powers and capacity for such energetic
action must be injurious as an article
of diet of habitual employment, and
not without deleterious properties but
no corresponding nervous disarrange
ments have been observed after its eff
fects have disappeared as are seen in
narcotics and other stimulants. The
action impaired to the nerves is natur
al and healthy. Habitual coffee drink
ers generally enjoy good health. Some
of the Oldest people have used coffe,
from earliest infancy without feeling
any depressing reaction, such as is pre-
duced by alcholic stimulants.

Collie.

The symptoms of collie, one of the
most fatal diseases to horse, are read
lily detected. The horse invariably
scrapes with his fore feet, kicks at the
stomach and shifts about, turns around,
smells the floor, lies down, rolls, re-
naming for a time on his back, and
breathing heavily throughout. AT a
recent meeting of the London Farmers
Club, relief and sure cure was presen
ted by gentleman who has been all
his life among horses. When the horse
shows the symptoms of an attack OF
collie, apply at once horse cloth OF
woolen rug, wrung out of boiling wa.
ter, to the stomach and to the sides aud
cover with another couple of cloths to
retain the heat. As they cool, renew
the cloths as often as needful. A
large bran poultice, as hot a. can be
borne, is equally effective, and retains the
heat longer.
