programme will be the presence of q
band of Xunis, under command OF
Frank Cushing. This tribe has attract
eel more attention within the past two
or three years than any other of the
New Mexican tribes of red men, no
doubt because they more faithfully rep
resent the civilization which existed in
New Mexico among the natives ut the
time of the coming of tho Spaniards
than any other. They will come with
their regalia for one of their primitive
dances. representing the gods and he
roes of their folklore mythology. This
ceremony does not belong TO their Sc

one of the most attractive of thcir
ancient rites. a company of Laguna
Indians which, together with the Zunis
belong TO the Pueblos, will be upon the
grounds, and will perform their pecu-

they have been admirably trained, and
will also give the ceremonials, games,

and it was estimated that they could be taken
down, the material transported to St. Louis and
newly erected in five years ut a cost of 800 900

be made within five years from Jan. |, 1869"

Cutting Seed Potatoes.

DIR. STURTEYANT'S ADDRESS AT UTICA.
The speaker began by calling atten-
tion to the following points -
|. A potato is covered with eyes,
which form the origins of the shoots.
When the whole potato is planted in its
natural condition, only two, three, or
very rarely four Of these eyes vegetate.
But rub and injure the eyes or scald them
slightly, and the number of shoots is
greatly increased l5 to 30 will start
from each eye, and often one eve will
give as many sprouts as the whole pota-
TO would naturally have done. Nature
seems to work at a great waste in pota-
toes as she does in corn pollen.
. The common opinion is that if the
whole potato be planted, the strongest
eyes will develop, the others remaining
dormant. But who can tell which are

Mcdonald, of Indiana. and Stockton, of New

The Pendleton Democrats of Ohio will CEN

anti-PendletOn faction will support General
Durbin Ward. Pendeton's friends are conf

Mr. Dana thinks that if Tillen was fifteen
years younger he might be a candidate for

eight years too old when he was nominal can

The Dynamite Dlabolism

The Boston Herald cannot be charged with
any unfrendliness to the Irish people, but it
declares that such expressions as those at the
Central Labor Union in New York last SUNDAY
may well lead Americans to take i sober
secOnd-thOught in regard to dynamite plot
ting" On that occasion the shocking dis covery
was made that the 24th day Of May, selected by
the Trustees of the East River Bridge for the
formal opening of that great work. HAPPENS to
be the birthday of Queen Victoria. and this 50
enraged the delegates that one of them declared
that if the Trustees should persist in attempt
ing to open the bridge on that day he would
favor blowing up the bridge and everN being
on it with dynamite Another. With the
ominous name Of Gallagher. was for taking up
arms and forcing passage of the bridge at the
point Of the bayonet. He said he was opposed
to dynamite as Il rule, but if ever there WAS q
case where the use of dynamite wouh I'D be
proper, that would be such an occasion!
1t seems to Us that not only the ''sober-se second
thought" but the first and the last and the only
thought of every laW-abiding citizen of the
United States should be that such talk lis in
famous, and that no Interpretation OF the
freedom of speech" should permit the open
expression OF incitement and encouragement of
such horrible crimes. No matter. if it is true
as the Herald suggests, that the utterers ofthese
incendiary threats would not dare attempt to
put them into execution; the mere SUGGESTION
Of such horrible deeds is disgrace to human
ity, and their bold utterance tends to stimulate
the recklessness of the most depravedI and
criminal A, the Herald says:
The fact that such diabolc sentiments were
expressed on proyocation 50 slight is proof that
the wild dynamite talk indulged in of late has
produced a complete corruption of the moral
sense on the part of the potters. The faint
thus far is confined to narrow limits but if it be
allowed to spread, it may soon become leally
dangerous"
How rapidly the ,'taint' is spred ding
may be inferred by the echong of this
dynamite diabolism by the official act OF the
Board of Aldermen of the City of New Iork,
III demanding that the date of the opening of a
great public work be changed, because the dav
selected chances to be the anniversary OF the
birth Of Queen Nictoria
This is the base pandering of demagoguhs to
spirit of violence that is not only Threatening
to disturb our foreign relations, but is fast
becoming serious menace to the peace Of the
country The thoughtful and patriotic Ane Iican

service to their native and their adopted pun

fearful rate. Last winter operations Werd be-
gun on part of a township where it was eX-

1000 feet of sound spruce could be found. A

i'll five years there will not be million feetl 50
far as can be ascertained there are no worms at
work on the spruce. and the cause of its ddcay
is a mystery. The tops of the dead spruce have
reddish color. and look as though they had
been scorched with fire. There are number
of townships on which it is estimated that three
fourths OF the spruce is dead. The loss to own

cause. One lumberman suggests the trees ARE
