Our Cold Summers.

The men Of science who maintain that
the earth is gradually becoming colder
behold many things of late which 90 to
substantate their chosen theories. They
regard the cold waves that have, to
great extent, prevailed this summer as
indicative Of the point they uphold,
There are two principal theories IN eX-
PLANTATION of the increase of cold. The
most plausible seems to be the volcanic
theory of the origin Of the universe that
the planets were hurled in the form Of
gaseous matter out of the sun that this
matter resolved itself into q fluid that
the fluid in the course of immeasurable
time became solid at the top, the crust
being the earths surface hence as the
motion mass beneath loses its heat the
whole body becomes colder. The other
theory-that the vast acCumulations of
ice at the poles cause the greater degree
of codnesS meets with much favor
among the trappcls of the north. They
say that vegetation that grew i'll high
latitudes is becoming ObliIerated, while
the animals that frcquented northern dis
tricts are found 10 longer in these places.
However true these things may be, we
may rest assured that they will not ma
terially affect rs. The slow progress Of
change will allow many thousands Of
Years to elapsc before it assumes suifi-
cient proportions TO cause alarm.

His Own Advertiser.

Friday last Fort Gaines merchant received
a consignment of Western apples, and at once
set about calling the attention of the public TO
the fact. He figured it out on sheet of brown
paper that it would cost him $1.50 to advertise
his apples in a newspaper, and when he reached
that point the figures looked about III feet long
and feet wide, and he concluded as this was
not good year to go into bankruptcy he would
do his own advertising. He got "A ck-neede
and some twne, and was fixing up string of
the fruit 10 hang on the outer wall when, just
he was finishing the pomoogical rosary, the
needle slipped through the last apple and
strung the ball of his thumb, as a sort of button
to the combination. He pranced around like a
man who had been bitten by jonted snake,
and knocked down d Worth of glassware be-
fore he got cool enough ~ let his clerk take out
the needle. He then bundled up his thumb in
rag and got his marking pot. He bent down
over the Sidewalk and had got as far in his
work as ''Western apples for" when man
who was looking up at the top of the artesian
well derrick stumbled over the merchant, who
jabbed his stabbed thumb between the cracks
of the planks, tried to look through the funnel
hole of the marking pot with his nose and
painted big letter -" on the shirt bosom of
the other man with the brush. The other man
got mad and kicked the merchant on the left
flank, and the merchant with his thumb In the
crack could only squeal and cuss. About this
them both before the Mayor, who fined the
merchant, and the total cost of the unfinished
"ad' was $l6.S5, and that's the reason the
newspaper men about town smile at our self
advertising merchant. Fort Gaines Ga, Ad-
yertiser.

Chipeta's Address to the Utes.

Translated by Bill Nye.l
People of my tribe, the sorrowng widow of
the dead Ouray speaks TO you. She comes to
YOU, not as the squaw of the dead chicftau, to
rouse you to war and victory, but to weep
with you over the loss Of her people and the
greed of the pale faces.
The fair Colorado. over whose rocky noun
tains we have roamed and hunted in the olden
time. is now overrun bv the silver-plale,i Sen
ator and the soft eyed dude.
We are driven 10 "A small corner of the earth
to die, while the oppreSsor digs gopher holes in
the green grass and sells them to the speculator
Of the great cities towards the rising sun.
Through the long. cold winter my people
have passed. in want and cold, while the con-
queror of the peaceful Ute has worn $3.50
night shirts and filled his pale skin with pic.
Chipeta addresses YOU as the weeping squaw
of great man whose bones will one day nour-
lsh the cucumber vine. Ouray now sleeps be-
meath the brown grass of the canvon, where
the soft spring winds may stir the dead leaves
and the young coyote may come and monkey
DER his grave.
Ouray was ignorant in the ways of the pale
face. He could not 60 TO Congress, for he was
not a citizen Of the United States. He had not
taken out his second papers. He was simple
child of the forest. but he stuck TO Chpeta
lie loved Chipeta like hired man. That is
why the widowed squaw weeps over him.
Jew more years and shall join Ouray-
my chief, Ouray the big lnJun from away up
the gulch. His heart is still open to me. Chip
eta could trust him, even among the smiling
maidens Of her tribe. Ouray was true. There
was no funny business in his nature. He loved
not the garb of the pale face. but Won my
heart while he Wore 4 sadde-banket and IL
look of woe.
Chipeta looks to the north and the south, and
all about are the graves of her people. The re-
hnement of the oppressOr has come, with its
bread and fall elections, and we linger here
like boil on the neck of fat man.
Even while talk to you. the damp winds of
April are sighing through my vertebrp and
I've got more pains IN my back than a con-
servatory.
Weep with the widowed Chipeta. Bow your
heads and howl, for our harps are hung on the
willows and our wild goose is cooked.
VINO VIII be left to mourn at Chipeta's grave?
None but the starving papoose of my nation.
We stand in the gray mist of spring like dead
burdocks in the field of the honest farmer. and
the chilly winds of departing winter make us
hump and gather like burnt boot
All we can do is TO wall. We are the red
skinned walters from Wailtown.
Colorado is no longer the home of the Ute.
II is the dwelling place of the bonanza Senator,
who doesn't know the difference between the
plan of salvation and the previous question.
Chipeta can not vote. Chipeta can not pay
taxes to great nation, but you will be apt 10
hear her gentle voice, and her mellow racket
Will till the air till her tongue is cold and they
tuck the buffalo robe about her and plant her
by the side of her dead ehieftan, where the
south wind and the sage hen are singing.

casionally has done before in other
places. Taking the country through,
the apple crop will be an "off wear"
crop, and will be we'll worth gathering
and handling with care One difficulty
connected with an off year crop is the
general interiority of the fruit When
apples are scarce. the worms of various
kinds which intest them are more abun-
dant in proportion to the number of ap-
piles, than when the crop is large one
The apple maggot is doing much damage
to early varieties, and threatens to be-
come the apple growers greatest pest.
MaggotY apples are not worth gathering
except for cider or for stock. The sound
fruit will all he wanted, and it will pay
to handle it this year with extra care
Apples should not be picked so early
that they will wilt, but the sooner they
are gathered after they are grown the
better they will keep. \ hard wind may
cause much damage by blowing off the
fruit and brusiEg it. If the late fall is
warm. the fruit will be too ripe on the
trees if it is left hanging upon them.
Better pick and place in a cool cellar to
retarj ripening, Northern New England
has the advantage over the southern
portion. because the apples do not get
over ripe before gathering. and 50 they
keep better through the winter, and re-
tain a spIightlness which more southern
frri rarely possesses. When gathering
fruit, pick it singly. as a rnle grasping

The Senatorial Syndicate of 1880.

Among the personal "reminiscences of Gener-
al Grant given to the press since his death none
exceed in value those printed yesterday of Mr..
Young, by the Herald, and of Mr. George w.
Childs by several newspapers in various parts
of the country. Passing over many other
points which these personal friends of General
Grant discuss in common (making their revel-
ations to the public independently of one anoth-
err, their concurrence with regard TO his rela-
ton to the endeavor TO nominate him for a
third Presidential term after his return from
his journey round the world throws strong
light upon political episode which to the pub
lie has been obscure.
1t Will be remembered that the backbone of
the Grant yote--the celebrated 306-in the Re-
publican National Convention of 1880 consisted
of the delegations from New York, Pennsyl-
Nanla ana Illinois, led respectively by Senators
Conking, Cameron and Logan. Mr.. Chids
declares that the candidacy was wholly of their
making, not at all of General Grants own:
Neither Mr.. Conkling, General Logan nor
Senator Cameron had any assurance from him
In any way that he would even take the nomi-
nation if it was rendered him, and they pro-
ceeded in that fight without any authority from
him whatever. His heart was not on third
term at all. He had had enough of it. After
his second term he told me, Il feel like 4 boy
out of school," The three men mentioned above
were the leaders in the matter. Neither of them
had ever had a mint from him in any way or
shape indicating that he would have liked to
have a third nomination. These men are living
and they can answer for themselves. AT first
Grant intended to decline In his conversation
with me he said, 1T is very difficult to decline
a thing that has never been offered" and when
he left the country for the West Indies ! said,
General, you leave this in the hands of your
friends" He knew | was opposed to third
term. and his political friends We're in favor of

Estimating Distances.

NOW SOLDIERS ARE TAUGHT TO DO II IN
WAR.
1t constantly happens that men detached from
the main body of an army are called upon to
determine for themselves their distance from
an object to be fired at. Experience abundant
ly proves that soldiers, by continued practice,
may learn to estimate distances up to 600 to 500
yards with considerable accuracy by simple
rapid observation Every soldier is supposed
to have good eye-sight; he, therefore. after
little practice in sight estimating, learns the fol-
lowing facts;
At 80 yards the white of mans eve is plainly
seen. and the eyes themselves up to so yards.
AT 100 yards all parts of the body are seen
distinctly. slight movements are perceptible.
and the minute details of the uniforms can be
distinguished.
AT $50 yards the brass buttons on the blouse
can still be separately Distinguished.
AT 200 yards the outlines of the face are con-
fused, and the rows of brass buttons look like
yellow stripes.
At 800 yards the buttons are no longer vs-
Bile.
At 400 yards the face is a mere dot, but all
movements of the legs and arms are still dis
tinct
At 600 yards details can no longer be dstin-
guished though the files of a squad If the light
be strong, can be counted.
At 800 yards the men in squad cannot al
ways be counted, nor their individual move
ments be distinguished.
AT 1000 yards line of men simply resembles
broad belt; the direction of their march can,
however, be readily determined.
AT 1900 yards infantry can be distinguished
from cavalry.
At 2000 yards a mounted man looks like a
mere speck or dot.

Margaret had her babe in her arms.
"John," she cried, "his name is Moses;
for is he not saved from the waters ?"
"les,' said John, 'his name is Moses"
Aaron went back to "'Frisco,' and
Miriam to her books in San Jose. John
and Margaret, hard pressed by their kind
host, fingered day after day, doubtful
whether to return to the scene of what
bad been SO nearly a tragedy, or seek
their old home in Maine. Finally they
took Farmer Thomas into their consulta-
tions. For a day or two he brooded,
silent, talking now and then in quiet
way with his wife, and watching the
child as it lay in its cradle, which was
also rescued. One day while walking
about his farm with John, he said:
"Well, don't know 'zackly what to do
with all this land, now I've got it-best
land, too, on the San Joaquin-every
acre Of it good for forty bushels if the
rains come My boy, he says he'd rather

O. claim on that boy of yours, and as if
he'd sort O. claim on US. After that
rough ride down the Stanislaus, think
he'd bout as good right to the ground
he landed on as Columbus had to the
land he discovered. Now, if you will
take half this farm-for the boy, you
know-we'll get up some sort Of shanty
for you and your wife, and We'll live
neighbors and guess we wort quarrel
much, less It's bout the baby for shall
want him full half the time, if not little
more.
And so, before many weeks had passed,
a little cottage rose in a grove of live oaks
near by and soon after there might be
seen a well-worn path between the two
houses, over which Farmer Thomas could
be seen walking almost any time of day.
The months ran on, and the seasons
passed with that strange speed which
one feels in California, where there is so
little in Nature to break their tlow-no
Winter to hold the thoughts, no Spring
shot OFT from SIMMER, no Summer, dis
tnct from Autumn-a land where time
forgets to mark itself save in the living
creature, man. But the child was true
to the law of its condition, and grew in
stature and in al. the divine ways of its
being. The path between the two houses
grew broader as little pair Of feet began
to tread it beside the old man, neither
making but small recognition which was
home. And wherever the child was,
there was Bruno. all lis early ambitions

1t must be plain to the feeblest comprehension
that it is the prohibitory laws that driving the
population away from Maine and Vermont and

We have understood our lquor-dealing
friends to claim that prohibition does not pro-
hibit. That there is just rs much liquor sold
in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont AS
ever before. If this be true there must be
some reason for the migration of the people
from these states other than the one set forth
In the liquor dealers organ. There must be ly-
ing somewhere among these newspaper cham
pons of the liquor traffic. One day they tell US
that prohibition affects nobody, does not pre-
vent the sale of single glass of liquor, that
there is just as much drunkenness, pauperism
and crime ever before. and then in their
next issue they assure us that prohibtory laws
are depopulating the states. 1t is depopula-
tion to be desired when men who make their
living by rnsing bar tumhers migrate to more
congenial clines. and if they take with them
