Piedmont Leader,


MILL SPRING, Mo-, March 80, 1885.
Ed. LEADER:
In your issue of March 20, appeared
list of names 'tfrom this place." at
tached to petition on file at Jefferson
City, praying the appointment of John
g. Wear, for Judge of this 23d Judicial
Circuit, vice r. p. Owen resigned.
I have been authorized by the fol-
lowing parties to say that they never
signed any such petition, and that as
so far as they are concerned the whole
thing is FORGERY:
Ed. Russell, Geo. w. Leeper,
M. H. Moss, s. B. Leeper,
c. A. Thomas. Lee Greasy.
will say on my own responsibility
that in point of fact. no petition ever
went up from here; 1T is FACT that
one was circulated for few minutes
by Thos. Mansfield and got few sign
ers, but he misplaced it and didn't find
it till after the appointment was made,
and consequently was never forwarded
to Jeffers,n City, bnt is here till this
date.
1 was strong support r of Gen. Mar
maduke, and felt that I had "a right to
add my mite toward securin" the APP
pointment of good man. and wrote
the Governor asking consideration of
my choice. but when l found Wear
was going to be appointed, irrespective
of all petitions and recommendations,
I wrote to Senator Yancey asking him
to call on the Governor and say to him
that the people of this Circuit would
be satisfied with any other name pre-
seated but Wear. But it seems he pre-
fprred to take the advice of Supreme
Judge and a Jefferson City editor,
neither of whom ever set foot in this
Circuit to that of the people directly
interested, and for one, say it is an
outrage. With the evidence of unfit
| fiess for the position against Wear that
! the Governor had before him he at
least ought to have investigated tie
matter thoroughly and let the whole
truth come out, but as he did not do it,
| | predict for the balance of his term, a
slow go so tar as Southeast Missouri is
concerned. Respectfully,
GEO. T. LEE.

tnIer the MiSiI.tnn.

...ssing under the mistIctoe is relic
of Scandinavian mythology. Lolli hated
Balder, the Apollo of the North; and,
as ''everything springs from fire. air,
earth and water had been sworn not
to hurt the celestial favorte, the wicked
spirit made an arrow of mistletoe, which
he gave to blind Homer TO test. The cod
of darkness shot the arrow and killed
Balder. Being restored to life, at the
urgent request OF the gods and goddesses,
the mistletoo was given to the Goddess
of love to keep, and every one who
passed under it received kiss, to show
that the branch was the emblem of love,
and not of death. The mistl toe is a
rarasitical plant which tlouYishes on the
branches of many kinds of trees in
Northern Europe. 1t is the Viscum
album of botanists, and is frequently
found on the apple, and less often on
the oak in the west of England. The
Drnids regarded it with peculiar rever-
ence, from its connection with the oak,
the favorite tree of the divinity, Tu-
tanes, who seems to have been identical
with the Phwnecian god Baal, or the
sun. The plant is very rarely found in
Scotland, and nowhere in reland.

bic rs possessing probably the simplest
method which has yet been resorted to
for ind catin" time according to the

has only one hand, the long minute hand
and the figures around are placed as
heretofore. Instead, however, of indi-
eating the hours, they indicate the min
utes only, which are marked from five
to sixty. The hours are shown on a
sunk dial revolving under the upper dial,
space being left in the upper dial in

The island of AKRON, off the west

From comparative experiments, Pro-
fessor +. Wollny, the German investiga-
tor, has shown the effect o. weeds upon
the productive power of plants. Both
quantity and quality of the crops were
seriously affected by allowing the weeds
to grow, the injury being the greater the
more slowly the plants were developed.
Peas and summer rape suffered least;
beans, maize, and potatoes were injured
to the extent of forty-fve to sixty six per
cent. and beets showed loss of ninety
seven per cent.
The remarkable effect of electric dis
charges in causing dust and smoke in
the air to settle was some time ago
pointed out by Professor Lodge.
This led to investigation by an Engligh
lead smelter, Alfred o. Walker, which
have resulted in the important discovery
that a constant discharge OF electricity
in the tlucs of lead works causes the
lead fumes to condense and settle very
rapidly. Much time is thus saved,
reduced. The discovery applies to other

Dr. c. Keller, Of Zurich, claims that
spiders perform an important part in the
preservation of forests by def, nding the
trees against the depredations of Aph-
idcs and insects. He has examined
great many spiders, both in their Wis era
and by feeding them in captivity, and
has found them to be voraCious destroy
ers of these pests; and he believes that
the spiders in a particular forest do
more effective work Of this kind than
all the insect-eat NO birds that inhabit
it. He has verified his views by obser-
vations on conifcrous trees, a few broad
leafed trees, and apple trees. An import
an. feature of the spiders operations is
that they prefer dark spots, and there
fore work most in the plac, $ which
vermin most infest, but which are likely
to be passed by other destroying agents.

summary OF Secretary Ia III ar's FRS.
Yearly Report.

The secretary of the interior begins his
annual report with a review of the Apache
troubles in Arizona For a settlement of
the Apache question he concludes that the
recommendation of the commissioner of In
dian affairs that the less guilty of the rebel
lious Chiricahuas should be transported to
an island in the Pacific ocean, as a penal col
ony, to earn their own living by fishing,
stock raising, etc, or sent to the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth, merits
consideration. They certainly should be
removed during the coming winter to some
place where they can be more securely
guarded.
To advance the interests of the Indians, the
secretary recommends that portion of
every res rvation be divided up into separ-
ate tracts OF suitable size for farms. to be
allotted to each individual as his sole and
separate estate Provision should be made
a.aIn>; the power until after a time limited)
OF selling or mortgaginS the same. or
even leasing it to any but Indians living
within the same reservation. Provision
should lie made that the Indian acceptil,, a
patent for his land shall not thereby forfeit
any OF his rights as a member of his tribe nor
the protection AMI benefit which tho laws of
the United States extend to the Indians
generally, The existing reservations,
when entirely out of proportion to the
number of Indians thereon, would he
re iuced with the consent of the In
dians, and upon Just and fair terms; and the
policy ofulacins by patent the titles to these
diminished reservations as fully under the
prote 'tl,n OF the courts as are titles Of all
others of our people to their Ian Is is favored.
The portion cut off should be subject to sale
and the proceels invested for the benefit OF
the Indians.

of the upper ST. John river, in Canada,
there was once Il rock in which large
circular we'll, or pot-hole, had been
worn by the action of the water At
the salmon season, this rock proved a
favorite resort for bears; and for good
reason. Having an especial taste for
salmon. the bears would watch at the
pot, hole, and AS the salmon, dashing up
the fall, were thrown by its force into
the rocky basin, the bears would quickly
scrape them out of the ot-hole, and the
poor salmon would be eaten before they
had time to wonder at this unlocked for

finally authorized party of hunters to
