A sgSSlDLE CONCLUSION.


grow into serious conflict between the
War and Interior Departments touching
the disposal Of the captured Apaches'
brought In by Gen. Crook. has, thanks
70 second thought, mutual concession
and common sense, been brushed away.
Il will b remembered that one OF the
conditions upon which the Apaches, not
captured by Crook in the battle which
he had In their stronghold In the Sierra
Madres. came in and surrendered, was
that he would use his influence to get
them admitted to the San Carlos heser-
vaiion. No sooner, however, had no re-
turned 10 civilization, and while yet the
surrendered and captured Apaches
were still enroute, under escort OF
Captain Crawford's command, than a
telegram was sent by Agent Wilcox from
Gan Carlos to Secretary Teller at Wash
ineton protesting against the reception
Of any Of these Indians upon the rsser-
walton. The Secretary Of tho Interior at
first acquiesced In the views Of Agent
Wilcox, and decl,red that they should
not DO admitted. General Crook was
much dissatisfied ut the course Of Agent
Wilcox and the stand taken by Score
tary Teller. He saw and knew that II
these captured hostiles were refused ad-
mittance TO the reservation, In the face
Of his pledge 10 do all that he could in
behalf Of that end, not only would they
accuse him Of bad faith, but his infiu-
ence with them would DO entirely de-
stroyed. Besides, he justly argued that
tho espionage Of other tribes at San
Carlos who have remained there for
years at peace, and desire TO continue
90, would be far more strict and less e.
psnsive than II they we're isolated and
put under the guard Of white agents
and employees. In this view be was
joined by the PEOPLE OF Arizona, who
seconded his desire to have the hostiles
placed on the reservation. Pending sst-
Element Of the matter General Crook
was ordered TO Washington City 70 ex-
plain his views Of the situation and give
In detail his reasons for desiring that
thee few remnants Of . once powerful
tribs b placed with their fellow -savaess
on the reservation. A recent dispatch
shows that the Generals arguments
hsvs besn 20 far conclusive upon the
mind of Secretary Teller that he has re-
considered his determination not 10 al
lov the hostiles 10 b admitted TO San
Carlos. Al q consultation held In WASH
ington ON Saturday last between the
Secretaries of Wan and the Interior, the
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs and
General Crook, Il was agreed "that the
Apache Indians, recently captured by
Crook, and ali such IN may hereafter be
captured. or may surrender themselves
10 him, shall be kept under control Of
the War Department, nj such points ON
the San Carlos Reservation ~ may be
determined by the War Department.

and will, Il 10 safe 10 believe. end the
Indian troubles In Arizona.

Chemistry Of the Farm Garden.

Or. B. d. Halsted continues the
series Of articles on Agricultural
Chemistry in the American Agricul-
turist for March, from which we clip
the following:
Hydrogen enters into the compo.
sition Of all organic compounds, and is
the fore one of the leading elements
to be considered in agricultural chem
istry. When uncombined with other
substances, hydrogen is a gas desti-
tute Of odor, taste or color. A clear
glass jar filed with this elemant would
appear empty. 1t is not found in the
free or uncombined state, but in small
quantities in fumes from boiling
springs and volcanoes. Water is the
most common substance in which hy-
drogen is present in considerable
quantities. This liquid is composed
Of the two elements, hydrogen and
oxygen.
Water is an adequate source Of the
hydrogen needed in the growth Of all
agricultural plants. In fact, this
is natures almost uniSersal solvent,
and carries in solution the various
essential clements Of plant food de-
rived from the soil. Water, together
with the salts of potash, phosphoric
acid, nitrogen, limo, etc, which are
dissolved in it are taken up by the
roots of plants, and passing through
the stems to the leaves, are there
changed under the action OF the sun
light. into substances fitted to build
UP the structure Of the plant. Water
not only furnishes the hydrogen, so
essential to plant growth, but is the
vehicle in which the otEer food ele-
lnents are moved from place t. place.
both before and after the process Of
assimilation has taken place in the
green cells Of the leaves. The import
ance of this liquid il fully appreciated
by the gardener, who waters his ten
der house plants at frequent inter
walls and by the farmer, who knows
that the withholding Of rain for sea.
son means ruin to his crops. Hydro
gen, though the ligbtest Of elements,
has weighty place to fill in the plant
economy Of the farm and garden.

A Good Word for Oatmeal.

The oat crop, which is so promi-
nent in our farming, is rarely utilized
for farmers tables. In Il somewhat
long acquaintance in the rural dis
tricts, we do not remember ever to
have met with oatmeal cooked in
any form. This diet is a favorite at
the breakfast table in our cities, in
the form Of mush, and eaten with
sugar and milk, is an appetizing and
wholesome article Of diet. But upon
the farm, the oat cropis very largely
money crop, sold in the nearest
market or at the railway station.
If used upon the farm it COOS to the
horse without grinding, or, if ground
as proyender to the pigs. Almost
everywhere we meet with corn pro-
ducts upon the table, Indian bread
the convenient johny-cake, nasty
pudding, samp, hominy, corn bread,
and that finest Of all summer dishes,
succotash-the sweet corn mingled
with the sayory juices Of the bean.
The wheat plant is well represented,
in bread and other forms Of coosine,
though it has celsed to be product
Of many northern farms. la all the
region where rye has taken the place
Of wheat, rye bread is the staple ar
tlcle Of diet. Baked beans are about
as popular as ever, in the rural dis
tricts, and are likely to hold their
own with the coming generations.
But oatmeal is ignored is food fit
for men. Among the people who
use it, and in the analysis of the
chemist, it stands confessed as one of
the most nutritious and economical
foods that can be used. The Scotch
people are living examples Of what
oatmeal will do to make an athletic
race with plenty of brain, bone and
muscle. The SCI tchman's average
daily ration is q lbs. of oatmeal and
a pint of milk. On this he thrives
and performs the labor of the farm.
Analysis shows that oatmeal is very
rich in heterogeneous matter, and
comes much nearer wheat -four in
nutritive value, than is generally
supposed. The following table shows
their comparative value:

John NeWland Mafit.

In one of his sermons on a Sabbath
day In Woodville, Maffit said that, while
putting up at a hotel at the base Of the
Green Mountains, in Vermont an eagle
that had been Gagged for years, and was
IN dropping condition, and about to
die, was given its liberty by the proprie-
tor, lie said the citizens all had as
sembled to see the imprisoned bird set
free. A large table was placed in front
OF the hotel, the cage containing the
eagle set upon it, and the door opened.
The eagle walked out, looked around,
unfolded its wings, and slowly rose into
the air in eddying circles, as if to be as
sured OF its freedom, when suddenly
with the velocity of lightning, it shot
heavenward and was soon lost to SIGHT
Such, he remarked, was to his mind a
fair smile of the departure of the soul
from the body at the moment of disso-
luton. As he uttered the word "shot''
with a ringing voice, he stamped his
rect upon the floor of the pulpit, extend
ed his hand above his head, and stood
silently gazing for some seconds. The
effect upon the congregation was electri-
cal; they, too; looked upward as if they
could see the heavens opening. No
theatTical professional could have acted
the part better. lie said, on another oc.
ctasion, he had been asked by his friends
II he had ever been upon the stage.
his reply was that he had never been
upon but one stage, and that was the
stage OF lite.--Pacitic Methodist.
