Several farmers in Schenectady coun-
ty, New York, have been very sue
cessful in raising peanuts. They are
of larger size than those grown in the
south, and some claim that they are of
superior quality. Probably peanuts
will be raised IN most of the northern
states before many years.
The Tennessee peanut crop, 1t is be-
lieved, will be cut short this year,
owing to the rotting of seed in the
ground. The peanut area is spread
ing. Heretofore its cultivation IN
Tennessee has been confined more
chiefly to the counties of Humphreys,
Perry, Hickman, and Dickson.
Two new type-w,i ters have recently
been brought out in England. Each
is about eight inches square, and
weighs not to exceed six pounds.
They can be carried in sachel, and are
afforded at so low price as to be
within the reach of almost any person.
The best stock water is that of living
springs, the next, that of running
streams. Fully equal to these, save
IN the exception of hardness, is the
water of wells, free from surface
drainage. The worst water is that of
slack streams, and especially stagnant
ponds.
Arrangements have been made TO r
erecting a landing stage at Aberdeen,
Scotland, tor the reception of foreign
cattle. 1t is expected that this will
lead to direct trade in feeding and
stock cattle with Canada, Denmark,
and Iceland.
Seven hundred thousand quilts are
sent from Connecticut quilt manu-
factory each year to warm the south
ern and western states, Mexico, Cana
da, the West Indies, and even the diff
ferent cities of the South American
states.
1t is anticipated that the present
year will be a good one for Havana
cigars, on the ground that every fifth
year since 1869 the crop has been ex-
cellent, while during the intermediate
years it has been Indifferent.
An old resident at London states
that water-cress carts are about as
numerous there as milkcarts, and that
the trade IN water-cress is very large,
many families having it delivered to
them twice each day.
The grasshoppers that re Gently in
vaded California have done some good
as well as considerable harm. They
have entirely destroyed the wild mus
tard that had become pest in the
wheat fields.
Wire-worms are injuring the corn
crop in pats of Saratoga county, New
York, to such an extent that some
farmers have had to plant a second
time. Potato hugs are also arriving
in large numbers.
In Oregon a man has made comfort
able house by shingling over the stump
of a hollow fir tree. The room is nine

A Direct Temptation.

1t is impossible to doubt that the
ease with which a defaulter can evade
arrest by crossing the Canadian line
has been direct encouragement to
financial infidelIty. A poor man en-
trusted with large sums of money, as
is the case of bank teller, must be
subject to very strong temptation to
theft. There is not much in the pre-
yailing tone of the world to strength
en- the restraints of conscience, but.the
certainty of detection would naturally
act as barrier to crime. When the
man knows that he can fill his pockets
with the money of the bank, take an
express train for Montreal, and be out
of the reach of the police by the time
the robbery is discovered, direct
temptation is placed before him TO
which it is not strange that many
weak men yield.-Phitadelphsa Times.

Sensible Surrestious.

". II. II. llewellyn. Mescalero In- dian Agent. pGts himself f record with the following timely and pertinent ad- vice. No man better understands the real situation aud no agent has ever been more successful in managing a troublesome band os redskins than be, and his tired experience renders sug- gestions Of far more than ordinary value. He says:
 Wiih reference to what should be done with the Apachos to prevent the terrible outbreaks that come upon Au- zoua and southern New Mexico as reg ularly as the spring tlne comes, may suggest:
 First. For Congress to pass a law making 1t Q penal offence, punishable by imprisonment for twenty-five years, t0 sell or give an Indian firearms, cart ridges, powder or lead, either OF or of a reservation.
 Second, As soon as this is accom- plishei, take steps to dIssTm every h. dian, and if they need protection from the Gggressions of bad white men, sta ton a sufficient number of troops near the reservation, or around them, 10 fully protect the Indian Tn the cOm- plete possession of any right he may have.
 The arms SO taken from the Indians should be paid for at their just value in stock-cattle. sheep, or ln useful Hgri- cultural implements.
 Just so long as water runs and grass grows and the Apache lives and inc present management continues, the people of Arizona and New Mexico will be cursed from time to tune with outbreaks.
 1t Is common for people on the iron tier to attribute all the Indian troubles to mIsmauagement On the part of the Indian office at Washington. All oi the blame does not attach 10 the oihce by q good deal. The InGIan office does not furnish the Indians with arms The Indian office does not furnish the Indians with whisky. Who then sup plies them with these aruclcsf
 Not being supplied from the Indian office at NasbIngt' n, and not belhG supplied by the misguided philsnthro' pIsts of the east (whom the frontiers man llves to berate) VIC must neces' sarily look nearer 10 home, and ID so looking IL will be discovered that there is hardly a settlement n the vicinity oi an Indian reservation that does not har' boT q class of white men whose business it is to supply RIms, cartridges and whisky to tue Indian. More than this, f-eartns are sold most every day in the week by merchants Tn some Of the largest towns in the Territory.
 The Indians Of tine Navajo, Southern Ute. San Carlos, Mescalero, and Con- anche agencies have conmunicailou once a year aud oftener fl necessary, Sd that arms sold tO any ot these can De secretly transferred to the other
 What is required ia my opinion ID ;us,ice to honest settlers, as well as to tbe Indians, is for the Indians to have a strong, firm management, a complett, disarmament, compulsory labor and education and a vigorousl application oI inc civiI law to the violators thereof. Yours truly,

The Fourth at GIIa Bend.
CHA BEND, 4. T., July ', 1ss

CHA BEND, A. T., July ., 1885.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: The 4th was a day long to be remembered at this place. At an early hour the people were awakened by the firing of anvils. Soon after sun rise Gila Bend presented a lively ap- pearance; everybody was getting ready to start for the picnic grounds, which were down on the river, five miles dis tant. Several large wagons were at the the disposal of the picnickers. At g o'clock the wagons were all filled with patriotic citizens, and took up their line of march for the picnic grounds. At 10 a. m., We arrived. A delegation at the river met us, headed by the COmstOck band, and escorted us to seats near the grand stand The Chaplain was G. w. Brown, and the Speaker, 0. M. Barrey. After the oration the tables were loaded down with all sorts of good things. Every body, from far and near received a hearty welcome and was invited to partake of the liberal supply that was spread before them. After ample justIce had been done to the dinner all joined in for good time. Swinging, dancing and singing were indulged in. At sun- down all returned home feeling we'll re- paid for their trip to the river. In the evening we wound up the day by a grand dance. Every body seemed to be there and all had glorious good time. At midnight the band played Hail Columbla," and all wended their way homeward wishing the return ot myraids of such occasions as celebrating the glorious 4th day of July.

Sad Death.

A letter from Benson received last night, states tha. MT. H. s. Barto, aI one time yard master at that place, and for several months past foreman of the Benson smelter, had died from inhaling the poisonous lead fumes that issues from the furnaces. During his illness he was attended by Dr. c. II. Porter, who did all in mans power to save him, but the fatal poison had done it's work. and medical aid was of no avail, and death came to his relief about II 30 on Tuesday evening. Mir. Bsrto was a young man who was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was kind ard generous to those who worked under him. and was greatly respected by his employers. The deceased was s mem Der of the A. O. U. W. of California. and his widow will receive 5000 from that society.
 The death of MT. Barto has cast a gloom over the entire town of Benson. Deceased was buried yesterday, his re- mains being followed to the grave by a large number of friends. The Tomb stone and his many friends in Benson extends its heartfelt sympathy to the disconsOlate widow in this her darkest hour.-Ihe Tombstone.

THE INDIAN QUESTION.

Ex-Delegate Oury, of Arizona. has
 hied letter with the President begging
 Tor the removal of the Indians in Ari. 2ona to the Indian Territory. It is a
 mere question of time when the white settlers Tn Arizona will demand that tho hostile Indians on reservations in that territory be removed, and the govern meDt may jus! Us well anticipate the de- mand. The Apaches canno. compl,ip ot being transferred to the Indian Ter. iitory, for 1t is, without doubt, the fpest section of the country, perfect garden throughout. Several Indian tribes. winch have been located there and have had lands granted to them in severalty, have done well and made marked progress in civilization. The re. malnder of the Apnches might be gath. cred together and planted, side by side with the Cherokees, greatly to their own own advantage and certainly to the re- lief of the whites ID Ariz lns and New Mexic0.
 It the officers of the army believe, as they say they do, that the Indian agents are starving the Indians, they ought not to object to the transfer. In the Indian territory no man need starye. That is indeed country where if you tickle the soil with hoe it laughs harvest. Game atounds from one yehr's end to another, and Indian schools have made great progress of late years. There is no place in the United States where the the Indian can so well work out the problem whether, in any circumstances he can exist in proximity to the whites. We trust the administration will give careful study to the prayer Of the people ot Arizona, and If possible will grant it, enc so make an end of the Indian raids. San Francisco Chronicle.

The Apaehes Didn't do it An.

Major G. H. Pradt, of Laguna, who re- gently went out with Colonel MarmOn's battalion on a hunt after the hostiles, IS in the city, and yesterday afternoon gave a Journal n porter some interesting and startling facts about the expedition. On one occasion the companies under Major Pradt's command gave chase to an Indian who was finally shot down. He was mortally wounded and ouly lived two hours, and knowing that death was near made q confession. He stated that himself and another Indian, both Pusblcs, and two Mexicsns, seeing an opportunity to make the Indian raid bring grist tO their mill, organized them selves into an expedition bent on booty and murder wherever it was necessary to obtain the booty by that means. They confined themselves to the country
 infested by the Apaches, following the trail of these Indians ss near as they could, and they stopped at a number of settlements and killed families in cold blood, knowing that the Apsehts would be charged with the crime. At each place where they committed murder they secured all the valusbles that they could find. These four wretches elhuBuleteu ten people ln all, most Ol them women and children. The dying Pueblo also stated that one time him. self and three companions were lying behind the rocks ID a certain place, which he described, when Major Prsdt rode along, and they had the drop on him and were about to fire, but oue of the three dissuaded the others, as the Major had on a uniform, and they thought that it might increase the chances for thelr detection if they should kill an officer. The Major recol- lected the time aud place we'll, and said to the reporter that when be started to ride into the pass where the four mur- derers were concealed he felt distinct presentiment of danger. and believed that some concealed enemy had the drop on him. There is no reason to discredIt the story told by the Pueblo, and if it be true 1t shifts the burden of ten murders from the shoulders of the Apachss. Major Pradt says that Colonel MarmOn and himself will st once proceed to or ganize the second regiment of New Mexico cavalry, of winch MarmOn will be Colonel and Pradt Lieut. Colonel Four companies of the regiment are now organized and eight more will be added.-Albuquerque Journal.

ARTISTIC MECHANICS

4 p,SieAlLnc Anlerlcdn A recent notice of mechanic in Mas sschusetts who Is an expert in that depart ment of natural history of which the but tertiy is the chief representative, suggests other and similar instances. It may be that the exactness required in mechanical work develops taste for close study, or 1t may be that natural history and pure science become pleasant tolls to the mon- otony of mechanical work; but 1t is the fact that some practical, dsy.working mechanics stand high in some scientific specialties.
 There is machinest-a fine tool maker who Is well known, and widely known, as an amateur astronomer. He has con tributed importantly to the science and ig not surpassed in nicety and preciseness In designing astronomical mechanism

He is a wonderful producer of elegant and legible monograms A set of six silver buttons for a vest all uniformed in general design and no two alike in par ticulars. is very artistic, and yet he designed and engraved the six while the customer waited-perhaps an hour.
