FORT RENO, Indian Ter, July 2O.-Not-
withstanding the Oft-repeated declaration
of the Cheyennes that they would never
yield to the commands OF the government
and be enrolled on the books of
the agency, discretion has suppanted
valOr, and hundreds of Cheyenne tepees
are on the prairie near the agency. The
ArapahOes, who have not taken any part
i'll the present brOil, are encamped near Fort
Reno, and the enrolment will take place
Tomorrow. The Indians do not like the
idea of census taking, since many head men
and chiefs have been drawing rations for
a much greater number of lodges
than actually exist. Stone Calf, one
of the most ObStreperous of the tribe, has
for some years drawn TatiOns representing
forty dodgers. He opposes the
new enrolment because he can
not muster that number, and will
suffer Il corresponding diminutiOn in the
amount of TatiOnS drawn. The military

The troops presented q very creditable
appearance despite the fact that some of
them have made forced marches to get to
the post. Were il not for the presence of
the military, the Indians would be more re-
calcitrant. Companies of Indian scouts are
being enlisted for service at Fort Sill, Fort
Reno and Camp Supply. The men who are
very anxious to enlist come from the young
bucks and warriors, and will act much
after the fashion of the Indian
police. The indications of trouble
are fast passing away, and the
real temper of the Indians will unquestion-
ably remain under the surface until some
definite action is taken as to the course to be
pursued with them. Gen. Sheridan is making
very exhaustive examination into the con-
ditiOn of affairs. He viii leave here for

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The court-mar-
tial appointed TO try PaymaSter General
Smith of the navy on the charges of scan
dal0us conduct and culpable ineilcency in
the performance Of his duties met this
morning. The counsel for the defense filed
a demurrer claiming that there was nothing
in the charges or specifications 10 show any
criminaiiiy on the part of the paynaSter
general. and hence he was not punishable.
Mr.. JEFF Chandler spoke for two hours in
support of the demurrer, claiming that the
accused could not he held responsible under
the law. He argued that it was an every
day occurrence for government lands 10 be
changed or extended. and cited numerous
instances where the government had been
obliged to pay for such contracts. As
sStant Attorney General Maury. in behalf
of the prosecution. replied to Mr.. Chand-
ler's argument. He held that while
the paymaster general was not
considered guilty Of a crime. he was
hlamable for his doings as an official and
subject to punishment. He said Smith had
doubled contracts and had ordered con-
tracts for one fiscal year paid out Of the APP
propriatiOns for another, thus involving the
paymaSterS subject 10 his order in cOmpli-
cations with the government. He declared
Smith had acted in the very teeth of the
law; he defed the law. and TO say that this
was not an O1fcnSe was TO render officers
free from all responsibility for their acts.

Partial Loss of Memory.

Sick persons have been known to lose
all remembrance of what has happened
to them during their sickness, and some
times, stranger still, of the perod lmme-
diately preceding their sickness, while
easily recalling what went before and fol
lowed afterward. The brain plays odd
tricks with US at times, especially when
it has been subjected to sudden shock;
and scientific men, who think that its va
rious convolutions are the seats of various
faculties OF the mind. derive some con-
frmation of their theory from the fact
that the power of memory may fail III
part without any failure of general intel
ligence, and may fail in part without be-
ing altogether impaired. A notable II
stance of this last mentioned pecullarli
occurred about a dozen years ago. A
lad in the country was accused OF thro =
ing another into pond, and he was ! It
on trial before bench of maglstrat j.
His elder brother, who bore a high cE,si-
acter in the village both for conduct and
mental shrewdness, had seen the struggle
between the lads, and he was called upon
to give evidence. He declared his belief
that the fight was perfectly fair through
out, and that the immersion in the pond
was an accident. Questioned as what
occurred afteward, he could not speak OF
a single circumstance.
"Did the prisoner make an attempt to
rescue the deceasedW

eight o'clock-six hours later and the

poor Smith fall over the edge.
There could be no doubt that the wit
ness was telling the truth. The shock
which he had received on seeing the fatal
result of his brothers quarrel had par
alyzed his brain; the memory was inter
rupted for those few hours, though in all
other respects he had acted like man in
full possession Of his senses.

ReW4re Of Him.

Farmers-good, honest souls-are the
special prey of the sharper and confidence
man. Their belief in anything that pre-
tends to be scientific is unbounded. Any
thing, therefore, that relates to fertll-
izers and analysis OF soils is very apt to
be favorably considered by them. But

DVellerS OH the Nile.

The Bedouins, or nomads, OF the Sou
dan are not a very numerous race. They
are altogether outnumbered by the peo-
pie of the towns and villages, who,
Mussumans though they are, unwallike,
and, like all agricultural and commercial
people, will quietly submit to the gov
erning powers if fairly we'll treated. The
people against whom the English are
now fighting, the soldiers of the re-
EQUITABLE Mahdi, are these same Bedou-
ms, and their revolt, though connected
with the spread of Islam and famed by
the flames of fanaticism, is also revolt
against the dominance of the settled
peoples of the country over the nomads.
These wanderers of the Nubian desert
and X ordofan possibly number some half

A pure Arab. like pure Turk, is hard

pal tribes between the Nile and the Red
sea are the Ababdehs, Bishaneens and
Hadendawavs, while west of the

Kabaneesh and the Beggaras Their sole
wealth consists of flocks and camels. In

The Industrious Rec

No wonder the bee is such an indefati-
gable worker. Each head of clover con-
tains about sixty distinct flower-tubes,
each of which contains portion of sugar
not exceeding the five-hundreth part of
a grain. The proboscis of the bee must
therefore be inserted into five hundred
clover-tubes before one grain of sugar
can be obtained. There are seven thous-
and grains in 6 pound, and, as honey
contains three fourths of its weight of
dry sugar, each pound of honey repre-
sents two billion, five hundred thousand
clover-tubes sucked by bees.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Facts worth Remembering.

It is worth while for all farmers, every
where. to remember that thorough Gull
ture is better than three mortgages on
their farms.
That al offensive war against weeds IS
five times less expensive than defen-
sive one.
That good fences always pays better
than lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is good deal cheaper made
in the summer than bought in the WIN
ter.
That horse who lays his ears back
and looks lightning when anyone APP
proaches him, is vicious. Don't buy
him.
That scrimping the feed of fattening
hogs is waste of grain.
That over-fed fowls won't lay eggs.
That educating children is money
loaned at hundred per cent.

study is more profitable than ten III

paper, and pay for it promptly.

Ships Anchors and Chains.

Several large piles of rusty iron anchor
chins filling the sidewalk in front of
shipsmithing shop near South street,
New York, caused Nal and Express re-
porter to step within the building and
ask how many pounds of iron a vessel
usually carries as part of its outfit.
'Many vessels" said the proprietor,
whose shop is enc of the oldest in the
city, "carry as many as 5000 pounds
each. To landsman this naturally
seems pretty big load in itself, but it
forms an essential part of ships make
up. Of this $4,000 pounds are usually
in chains and $4,000 pounds in anchors.
The Henry B. Hyde, large ship built
in Maine, carries two anchors, one of
which weighs 1000 pounds and the
other 5000 pounds. Every vessel, as
we'll as steamship, is obliged to carry five
anchors, spare one and two stream
anchors beside the one in regular use,
Oar largest anchors weigh 5000 pounds
elch, while we have them as light as
twenty five pounds. Some of the largest
chains are composed of links the iron of
which is two and half inches in d.
ameter."

Feeding for Milk.

Writing from Nebraska correspond
ent asks us how bran compares with corn
meal as a food for milk production.
When we answer that the food for milk
should be the flesh and bone forming
foods, we know that all our readers will
not agree with US. There arc those who
believe that corn meal stands at the head
of foods for this purpose. But we believe
to the contrary. AS between the two,
bran and corn meal, bran is the better
milk producer. But if they are mixed
together they make an excellent ration.
Two parts, by measurement, of bran to
one part of corn meal, is about the
proper proportion. An Ohio dalryman
always makes it practice to lay in a
supply of bran Immediately after har-
vest. He gets it at that time cheaper,
for there is less demand for it, and the
mills usually have large stock on
hand. There is no difficulty in keeping
bran, if it is stored In dry place, and
SO it may as we'll be bought at this sea-
son for winter use as at any other
Ii we expect to get milk we must feed
generously, of course, and at all seasons
Of the year the COW must be furnished
with what she needs without the neces-
sity of making much exertion to get it.
Her exercise must be limited. We do
not pretend to say that this is best for
the COW, but we are now talking about
producing the best milk possible. As
we recently said, we have no doubt that
more exercise, and severe exercise, would
be preventive of some of the serious
diseases that attack our cows But as
the object of keeping a COW is primarily
to get her milk, we shall continue to
force her in that direction. So if that is
our intention, and as the more milk she
will give, the better we will be satisfied,
we should study not only to give her all
she wants to eat but to give it to her in
such way that she will not have to
greatly exercise to obtain it. This ad
vice, however, is particularly summer
advice, VIXEN the COW should have good
pasture and water convenient. - Western
