times dried up, so to speak, and
form very m~icroscopical points

The Extent Of Our Dairy Interests.

There are few who realize what an
immense industry the dairy in this
country is. From statistics which have
been compiled-and which we have
reason to believe are corrective find
that there are in the United States
thirteen million COWS that are used for
dairy purposes. 1t is pretty difficult to
say what the average price of those
cows would be, for some of them are
very valuable, while some are pretty
nearly valueless. Col. McGlincy, the
Secretary of the Illinois Dairymen's
Association. estimates thirty-five dol
lars to be an average price, and, per-
haps, that would be a fair average.
That would make the cows of the
country worth an immense sum of
money-S455, 900, 900. In addition to
the value of the COWS, there are the
other necessary investments in the bust
ness, and it is estimated that the money
thus invested will aggregate -, 900, $780,
600; and when we pause to consider that
the dairy has become prominent only
in the last few years, the Importance
of and the energy displayed in the bust
ness a be the better appreciated.
The East has given attention to the
dairy for many years-sOme portions of
it-but it has grown up in the West
and what a magnificent growth it has
benin a little more than TWENTY-FIVE
years. and the progress which is now
being made in the West is greater than
ever. To-day Minnesota is a dairy
State. Four years ago she was NOT.
Missouri has wheeled into line and is
displaying great vigor in dairy matters.
Dakota and Nebraska and Kansas and
Montana will take high rank among
dairy sections, and the three former are
slready taking steps in that direction.
Even now there is almost fifty per cent.
more money invested in the dairy than
there is in banking. It is estimated
that sixty million acres of land are de-
voted to the dairy; that there are seven
hundred thousand men employed in the
business; that there is paid to the Ia
borers in the business a hundred and
million dollars annually; !
there r $3.50. 900, Geo gallons Of
milk annually produced. These figures
can be carried further; and the yield of
butter and cheese estimated, but they |
will be sufficient to give an idea of the
proportions of the dairy. which has
been u purpose thus far.

MARCH OF THE SIXTY THOU

Not with q firm and measured step
Moves OIL the mighty host,
No welltrained soldiers in the ranks
Does their grim leader boast:
Oh, no; they've drained the poison cup,
And in its depths have found
The adder's bite, the serpent's sting,
That CAV the deadly wound.
Lured by the tempting cup. they drank.
To seek it yet again;"
Quick to its work the poison sped,
And ran through every vein.
1t 9uenched affections tender flame
For those once loved so well,
And kindled in the heart instead
The very fires of he'll;
Hurled reason from her royal throne,
God glorious image marred:
Behold the wreck, no more a man,
Bleeding and torn and SCARED.
Behold the soul! Oh! dreadful fate,
Well may the angels stand
Weeping at such a sight as this
In our beloved land.
A vanquished army, on they move,
With reehng steps and slow;
Stumbling into their yawniny graves
They fail, to rot be.ow.
o God! that such u thing should be,
And to our doors be brought,
And we loo calmly on, and see
The work the f1end has wrought.
And we look calmly on. inc hear,
Throughout our stricken land,

A sad, heart-brOken band

The call rings loud and clear;
y Thy brothers blood cries from the

Thou soon, alas! shalt hear.
Rouse, brother. sister, to the work.
Spring quickly to you post!
And hand to hand the conflict wage
Against the fiendish host;

Against the souls of men.

We shall not fight in vain.

Accident ON the Comstoek.

miner named John Cartheche fell
down winZe in an old tunnel on Cedar
Hill Monday. and it is thought sustained
fatal injuries. He has his right shout
der disiocated, his hands badly laeerated
and four ribs on his right side broken
from the spine. 1t appears that Car
theche, Andrew Charles and another
man were going into the old tunnel to
make some repairs, or do some kind of
work. Cartheche was in advance of the
Others and was carrying piece of plank.
He knew of the existence of the winze.
which is but fifteen or twenty feet from
the mouth OF the tunnel but did not
think about it being SO near, besides,
he was somewhat blinded by the light
of the sun shining into the tunnel and
upon the plank he was carrying. Be-
fore he thought where he was he had
stepped into the winze, which is the
full width of the tunnel. aud about eight
feet long. The winze is nearly
forty feet deep and the bottom is COW
cred with rough rocks. As soon as the
accident occurred the companions of
Cartheche gave the arlarm. Men were
sent down into the winze and Cartheche
was placed on a short plank and made
fast in n sitting position. 4 rope WIS

fastened to each end Of the plank and
the wounded man was drawn up seated
as though in swing such as children
use. Upon an examination OF the injn-
ries OF Cartheche DIR. Conn found that
the ends Of some OF the ribs had pierced
his lungs, allowing the air to escape
within the cavity of the chest. Monday
night the air had got within the tissues
under the skin and the unfortunate man
was greatly bloated, even down to the
thighs. AS he is nearly sixty years of
age his recovery is doubtful. Mr.. Car
theche is an old resident of the Pacific
coast. He was at one time resident Of
Ell Dorado county, California, and was
for considerable length OF time in the
service OF Wells, Fargo & Co. as de-
tective.-T uscarora Times.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE IL, 1884.


The tariff bids fair to De the leading
issue OF the national campaign this year
and as such the positions OF the two
parties will be noted with interest. The
following is the plank the Republican
platform laid down at Chicago this
week.
We demand that the duties on foreign
imports shall be made not for revenue
only, but that in raising the requisite
revenue for the government such duties
shall be SO levied as to afford security to
our diversified Industries aud the pro-
lection Of the rights and wages of the
laborer. The Republican party pledges
itself to correct the irregularity of the
tariff and to reduce the surplus, not by
the vicious process of indiscriminate re-
duction, but by such methods as will re-
lieve the taxpayer without iniuring the
laborer or the great productive interests
of the country.
